ristown Pa.) lad who carries bobbins in
one of the mills there, has announced
through the Philadelphia Record that he
has a set of ribs he will match against
this heart at any time. Eddie is very thin,
and his ribs prOtrude distinctly The latest
music is drawn from them in the follow
ing manner: The boy sits down and tucks
his shirt up about his neck. He takes in
each hand an empty bobin and draws a
lonS breath, which throws the ribs into the
greatest prominence. With the bobins he
then plays on them as ordinary musicians
play on XylOphOnes, extracting the tune
from the right side ribs and the accompa-
niment from the left side ones. The upper
ribs give the high notes and the lower
ones the low notes. E is the key of the
first, or topmOst rib. and F is that at the
bottom, though Eddie Warp. by stopping
off a rib with his fingers. as violinisls stop
off string, can raise or lower the pitch
greatly.
DR.. J. Denker gives In rAnthropolo-
gle the results of his long studies on the
principal racial types of Europe exclud-
ing those which belong to immigrants of
historical times, such as the Gypsies,
Jews MOors, Firms. Laps and Huns.
These primary types are % a tall, blonde
long head (dOlichocephahc) of the North,
now called the Teuton by many anthro-
biologists; (2l a short, blonde and rather
broad-hea1ed type of the East, for eX-
ample, Great Russia and Eastern Prus-
STA; 90 a short, dark long head of the
Mediterranean, sometimes called Ibernian,
though the name is too local for this wide
ly spread clement; ca a short, dark.
broad head (brachycephalic) Of Middle Eu-
rope, including the Central French and
South Germans which Is now called Celt
or Rhaetian, and sometimes the Alpine
race; 90 a tell, dark (mesocePhalic) or
northumberland type along The Mediter-
rauean littoral, and 90 a tall, dark, broad
head about the Adriatlc. Deniker does
not claim that these types are original.
They probably result from the union of
several types, but these types persist over
wide areas
The wonderful powers of refrigerat ton
possessed by liquid air were illustrated in
a New street restaurant this Afternoon to
a group Of Interested brokers and news

Philadelphia Ledger Two gallons of the

of nam were frozen so quickly that they
could afterwards be broken in the hand
like so much chalk. They were frozen so
hard thar they became bride. Liquid air
was poured into straw hats, and they be-
them on the head for some time. A number
of curious experiments were made and ex-
raOrdinary results achieved. Whatever
else may be the future of this new agent
of man, one thing is clear. it is destined
TO revoluionize all our methods of refrig-
Grafton. There seems to be no reason why
in time it should not do away entirely with
the ice man. Now that Ostergren. the
Swedish inventor, has shown that liquid
air can be produced at a cost Of , to cents
a gallon. why could there not be a system
of delivery of liquid air to households, like
milk and each family manufacture its
own ice as its needs require?
The earth on which we stand is, no
doubt, mighty globe measuring as it
does 5000 miles in diameter, yet what are
its dimensions in comparison with those of
the sun? says Pearsou's Weekly. If the
earth be represented by a grain of mus
tard seed, then on the same scale the sun
should be represented by a cocoanut. Per-
haps however, more impressive concep-
ton of the dimensions of he great orb
Of day may be obtained in his way: Think
of Che moon, the queen of the night which
circles monthly around our heavens, pur-
suing as she does a majestic track at a
distance of 10000 miles from the earth.
YET the sun is so vast that if il were a
hollow ball the moon could revolve in the
orbit which it now follows and still be en-
tirely inciosed within the suns interior.
For every acre on the surface of our
globe there are more than 10000 acres on

Prof Hafkine, whose method of treat
ing cases of the plague has aroused the
interest of physicians, in an address be-
fore the Royal Society of London. stated
that the principle of prophylactic treat
ment which he followed was first intro
duced by Turkish physicians and develop
ed afterwards by Jenner and Pasteur
