HON WORRY KILLS.
II Injuries Beyond Repair Certain Cells
Of the Brain.

W sho
Modern science has brought to light
nothing more curiously interesting than
the fact that worry will kill More re-
markable still, il has been able TO de-
termine, from recent discoveries. just
how worry does kill
1t is believed by many scientists who
have followed most carefully the growth
of the science Of brain diseases that
scores Of the deaths set down to other
causes are due TO worry, and that alone.
The theory is a simple one-so simple
that any one can readily understand it.
Briefly put, ii amounts to this: Worry
Injuries beyond repair certain cells of
the BRAIN and, the brain being the nu-
tritive center of the body, the other or
gans become gradually injured, and
when some disease of these organs or
a combination of them arises death
finally ensues.
Thus does worry kill Insidiously,
like many another disease, it creeps
upon the brain in the form of single,
constant, never lost idea. and, as the

The Origin of Natural Gas.

An experiment of some importance is
reported, made with view to deter
mine, if possible the origin of natural
gas irrespective of theories hitherto
prevalent. For this purpose dried sea-
weed was stepped in water which had
been freed from air, and on the third
day gas appeared, continuing to be
evolved in diminishing quantities until
the tenth day, when S03 cubic cent?
meters had been collected The evolu.
ton had evidently ceased, though after
standing two years and half 30 cubic
centimeters more of gas collected in the
apparatus. The second gas differed from
the first, consisting, it is recorded, al
most entirely of methane-the chief
constituent of natural gas-from which
it is inferred that this slow secondary
decomposition of vegetable matter may
have some relation to the origin of nat
ural gas Boston Journal of Commerce

To Render Iron Weatherproof.

Countless attempts have been made
to deal with the rust problem in iron
structures. A new process has been sug-
gested which consists in treating the
iron with a solution of ferrocyanide.
This forms a coating of cyanide of iron
that is stated to be uniform and imper-
meable and of such nature as to effect

solution is mixed with a flaXseed var
nish to which has been added "a little
turpentine or benzol, so as TO cause a
very homogeneous emulsion which can
be applied without difficulty The evap-
Grafton of the alcohol leaves the fiaxseed
varnish, which forms coat and pro-

posted upon the metal. The iron re-

Gas as Fuel.

When il comes to the general use OF
gas, the price of the gas has something
to do with it. We all know that the
gas engine is more commonly used in
England than in the United States, but
the explanation is simple Boston and
Manchester have nearly the same popu-
lation The consumption of gas in
Manchester in one year was 1896, 900,
600 cubic feet. or more than was used
in the entire state of Massachusetts,
but the price of gas in Manchester was
GO cents per 1000 feet. while in Boston
at the same period the average per |, 600
was 81. so The price of gas is much too
high American Machinist.
