Notable Bridge For Japan.

It is reported that Japanese engi-
neers are preparing plans for the
construction of a bridge across the
Straits of Shimouoseki, so as to unite
the main line of the Kin Sun Railway
with that of the Sanyo Railway from
Shimonoseki to Hiogo. The Straits
at the point referred to, are about one
mile in width, and the current
through them is very rapid. The
bridge, moreover. must be construct
ed sufficiently high to enable the
largest ocean steamers to pass be-
meath. Thus the undertaking, if
successfully carried out, would be
one of the greatest engineering feats
of it's kind. The work will be under
taken and supervised by Japanese
engineers exclusively.

An Odd Prelete.

By the death of Mgr. Dusserre,
Archbishop of Algiers, the French
Church loses very remarkable per-
sonality. He had not only been a
soldier before he entered the Church,
but had fought in several campaigns.
His manners were singular mixture
of the sacred and profane. He enjoyed
the company of soldiers, and especially
of young officers, whom he would fire.
quently invite to dine with him, and
afterwards, throwing off his long
soutane, amuse himself and them with
fencing and broad-sword exercises, in
which he excelled. This estimable
prelate and whole-hearted man was
greatly beloved in Algeria by all
classes and creeds. He succeeded to
the Archbishopric of Algeria in 1892
on the death of Cardinal Lavigerie.
He had, however, been Bishop of
Constantine since 1878, and was,
therefore, as he used to say, "almost

Some Kentucky superstItions.

1t would astonish you to know the
number of persons in this State "who
are not superstitions but who do be-
lieve in signs" While returning
from Western Kentucky last week I
sat talking with a party of seven men
in the smoking compartment of q
Pullman car, when one of them pulled
from his pocket graveyard rabbits
foot" which, he said, had always
brought him good luck. Another of
the men exhibited the feather of an
old gray goose which had been given
him by colored charm seller in the
Purchase. The owner said he knew
the thing was o mere trife, but he
wouldn't part with it for any amount
of money. A third member of the
party had an old steel pen which had
been used by the Governor of South
ern State in writing the pardon of o
condemned man. This non-believer
in "strange signs" said he priced the
charm higher than anything he pos
sessed, as he had succeeded ever since
he got it. The sleeping car conductor
carried in his pistol pocket an Irish
potato, shrivelled to one-third it's
former size, which "never failed on a
rheumatism case" A fifth man had
this to say: Fellows, I'm no believer
in those meaningless emblems, but I
can't help feeling badly if I fail to see
the new moon over my right shoulder. T"
The only two members of the party
who had not spoken left the car, smil-
ing ut the "vapid follies" they, too,
were doubtless believers in if they had
only expressed themselves.-Louis-
vile Post.

When Life Began on Earth.

Lord Kelvin estimates that the time
since the earth became sufficiently
cooled to become the abode of plants
and animals to be about 10000, 600
years, within limits of error ranging
from is, 900, 900 and $4,000, 900 years.
From similar physical data Clarence
King has made an estimate nearly
agreeing with this. Warren Upham
says that geologists generally regard
this period as too short

POPULAR SCIENCE.

In the hospital at Brisbane, Aus
tralia, the use of the Brand method of
treating 1902 typhoid patients has re-
duced the mortality from 14.3 to rs
per cent.
According to Nilsson, the zoologist,
the weight of the Greenland whale is
100 tons, or 224, 900 pounds, or equal
to that of eighty-eig elephants or
440 bears.
The skeleton of o mastodon, in q
good state of preservation, was dug up
near Corunna, Ind. 1t was found
about six feet below the surface. One
of the tusks measures seven feet eight
inches in length.
A fbrous preparation of steel, made
in the same manner rs the so-called
mineral WOOL" by passing on mir
blast through molten steel, is coming
into use for cleaning, polishing, ETC..
instead of sandpaper.
A new electric propeller for pleasure
boats sails ahead of the boat but is
rigidIy connected to it, the accumula-
ton cells and switch-gear being on the
boat itself. The vibration is less than
in ordinary stern-propelled launches,
but there is probably much loss of
efficiency.
Floating fish-canning factories are
proposed in Sweden. The factory
would be sea-going vessel with full
equipment for canning, and would be
anchored near the fishing fleet. The
factory could follow the migrations of
the fish, the canning of the fish while
really fresh being an important result.
Among equine dwarfs the smallest
is claimed to be pony reared by
Marchese Carcano, q horse fancier OF
Lombardy. Tt is said to stand only
six hands, or twenty-four inches, high,
while the Shetlands ore seldom under
eight hands. The owner has theory
that small horses will return greater
amount of work than large horses for
the same expense in feeding.
A Breslau surgeon, Professor Miku-
licz, wears gloves of fine thread in
performing operations, and declares
that this not only causes no incon-
venience or difficulty, but makes it
easier to hold the tissues. The pur-
pose of the gloves is to reduce the
chances of introducing troublesome
germs. Several changes of gloves are
necessary in long operations, and each
pair is made thoroughly aseptic in
steam, while the hands are washed
and disinfected in the usual way. A
further recommendation is the use of
respirator of fine muslin as safe
guard against mouth bacteria.
An artificial black marble is being
made at Catania, Italy, and is said to
be much cheaper than genuine mar
BILE, from which it is not easily dis
tinguished. 1t is made byimpregnat-
ing white sandstone with q mixture of
equal parts of volcanic asphalt and
coal-tar pitch. The sandstone blocks,
cut into the desired shapes, are sup
ported on gratings in q large square
iron tank, into which the molten mix
ture is admitted from IN adjoining
boiler, the liquid being kept boiling
in the tank for thirty-six hours. After
cooling, the stones are polished like
other marble. 1t is claimed that the
new material will resist acids, atmos-
pheric action, heat and cold, and does
not favor the development of germs.
