The Notes In a, cam.

Counting the dancing notes in a bar
of sunlight sounds like one of those
hopeless, never ending tasks with
which malignant fairies delight to
break the spirits of little heroines in
the German folk stories. Something
more than this, however, has been
achieved by modern science, which is
now able to count the particles float
ing in any given portion of the atmos-
phere, and determine what portion of
these are dangerous germs and what
are mere dust.
DR.. Frankland's experiments have
shown us how to count the micro
organisms, and now Scotch scien-
tist, by totally different method, has
been enabled to take stock of the more
harmless, but hardly less interesting,
dust notes. Thirty thousand such
particles have been detected by him in
the thousandth of cubic inch of the
air of room. In the outside atmos-
phere in dry weather the same meas
urement of air yielded 2119, whereas
after heavy rainfall the number was
only 521.
That this power of prying into at.
mospheric secrets will eventually yield
very important results must be OBJ
vious to all. Among the most curious
discoveries already made is the direct
and constant relation which exists be-
tween dust particles and fogs, mist
and rain.-Pearson's

The Mental Eye.

Thousands upon thousands of per-
sons handle our silver dollar, but few
happen to observe the lions head
which lies concealed in the repre- sent
alton of the familiar head of Liberty;
frequently even careful examination
fails to detect this hidden emblem of
British rule; but, as before, when
once found it is quite obvious. For
similar reasons it is great aid in
looking for an object to know what to
look for; to be readily found, the OBJ
iect. though lost to sight, should be to
memory clear. Searching is a mental
process similar to the matching of a
piece of fabric in texture or color,
when one has forgotten the sample
and must rely upon the remembrance
of It's appearance. If the recollection
is clear and distinct, recognition takea
place when the judgment decides that
what the physical eye sees corresponds
to the image in the minds eyes; with
an indistinct mental image the recog-
milton becomes doubtful or faulty.
For correct and accurate vision it is
necessary to acquire an alert mental
eye that observes all that is effectively
visible, but does not permit the sub.
iective to add to or modify what is
really present-Professo Joseph
Jastrow, in Appleton's Popular Science
Monthly.

Bright Men Who Are Vegetarian 8.

= The Vegetarian Society now has
hundreds of members and associates.
The full members pledge themselves
to abstain from the use of flesh, fish
and fowl as food, though the vege-
table diet may be supplemented by
such animal products as eggs, cheese,
butter and milk.
Among the members and associates
of the society are many of the bright
est men in London. The late DIR.
Spurgeon was vegetarian, as also
Sir Isaac Pitman. They also point
with pride to the name of George
Bernard Shaw, the journalist and
playwright. Shaw said, III giving his
reasons for being vegetarian and a
teetotaler, that, in his opinion, "a
man could not do the best work there
was in him on diet of dead animals
and whisky"

What Drunkards Cost Boston.

Last year the city of Boston expended
the sum OF S115,S02 for the support OF
drunkards in the House of Correction in
Suffolk County, according to figures fur
nished by Penal Institutions Commissioner
Marshall. While all Of Suffolk County
which includes besides Boston the city OF
Chelsea and the towns of Revere and Win
throp, furnishes inmates for the penal in
stitutions, the entire cost OF maintaining
the institutions is borne by the city OF
Boston. This is because the control Of the
institutions Is left wholly to Boston.
Commissioner Marshall says Of Deer ISL
land: "There were 8447 committals to this
institution for drunkenness, and the ag-
gregate of the time served by those COM
mitted was equivalent to 1918 years. With
a per capita cost of maintenance Of s64.70,
the cost of the maintenance was Sill ,212."
At the South Boston House Of Correction
"there were 107 committals for drunken
ness, and the aggregate of the time served
by those committed was 13, AGO days. With
a per capita cost of maintenance OF S124.47,
the cost of maintenance of the above num-
Dor was S4590."

A Champions Testimony.

A champion cyclist was asked DO you
whisky or brandy"
'No; they cut the breath short. You
can't race and take brandy. 1t may help a
little, but 1t leaves you worse. l believe
that if five or six men were together In
race, say two miles from the tape, and one
was handed drink of brandy, 1t might let
him break away and win easily: but If he had
ten miles, or had a long race before him,
he would find great difficulty in riding.
His breath would be cut short. The man
who drinks brandy or whisky will soon be
broken winded.'

At the National Vegetarian Congress,

Of total abstinence in dietetic reform was

takes means to discover what mans
habits are. Besides those who object to
their employees taking intoXicants at any
time, whether on or off duty, there are u
number Of employers who insist merely
that while actually at work they should
abstain from liquor, and also those who,
while they do not lay restraint on the ma
iority Of their employees, insist on those in
responsible positions refraining from
drink Thus In all departments OF industry
there are good many firms who demand
abstinence from engineers, managers anu
watchmen. In agriculture stress Is laid on
teamsters being non-drinkers, for fear of
careiessness and cruelty In the handling of
cattle on the part OF intoxicated men. In
mining and quarrying the restriction is ap-
piled chiefly to handlers of explosives and
to electricians aud the like, any blunder
on whose part might lead to great injury
to their fellow workers, not to speak OF
damage to property. In transportation
almost all branches of the service are, in
some companies, forbidden to have any
thing to do with alcohol; trainmen, motor
men, conductors, telegraph operators,
electricians, switchmen and pilots.

election of the Eighth regiment,

opinion as to the legality of the elec-

Immediately telegraphed Axline not
to give decision until he learned
the facts in the case. This it is be-
lieved delayed the work of the Board

The unofficial count gives the total
vote as 241, of this Dick got 240; Voll-
rath, 2l5: Weybrecht, III; Charlton,
172. The number necessary for elec-
tion was Ill. According to this
Charlton was elected Junior Major

leaves Captain A. B. Critchf1eld, who
aspired for the Lieutenant Colonelcy

There was no ill-feeling displayed

When Capt. Critchfield was asked
if he would abide by the decision of
the canvassers he said: II expect to
do it,
Majors Weybrecht and Vollrath
said they would yield to General
Axline's decision in the matter.
They said they were here in the in

There seems to be no doubt but
that Col. Dick will appoint Geo. M.
