When we come to make calculations
on the prospect of our being killed by
lightning we soon discover that the
chances are in about the same proper
tion az they are to the average citizen
suddenly becoming an heir to a mil
ion dollars.
Statistics show that in the United
States the average number killed by
lightning is 312 every year If we have
rs 100000 people in our country our
chance would then be about in
24O, 900.
The greatest percentage of fatalities
is among farmers. This is in all
probably due to the fact that they are

The majority of people are more
frightened by thunder than lightning
If we study the philosophy of light
ming it is a simple matter to under
stand that thunder is only the report
of the bolt This report is produced
quite similar to that of gun When
a charge is fired from a gun it pro-

"A distinguished scientist has seri-
ously suggested the sinking of boilers
deep enough to use the heat of the
earth as fuel said prominent en-
gfneer of this city THAT sounds
rather fantastic. in view of the fact
that a depth of - 900 feet would be
necessary to boil water, but a scheme
of the same sort was urged with great
energy back in the SOS by a Wash
ington inventor named Forian. If my
IN emory is correct Forian was man
of considerable means and a mathe-
matician of ability The internal heat
of the earth is supposed to equal about
one degree to the 100 feet of penetra-

ed that the percentage was very much
greater and increased in compound "a

He figured out an elaborate table and
proposed to sink huge shaft with
accumulators at the bottom from

needed was few million dollars capt.

plant, and he Immediately set to work
to raise the amount.

Printing of books with Braille type
for the benefit of the blind has made
immense progress in England within
the last few years The Central lend
ing library of Birmingham has no less
than 500 books printed with Braille
type. This extensive library comprfs-
es the works of such favorite authors
as Shakespeare, Browning, Sir Walter
Scott, Tennyson and Ruskin- The
Plymouth public library has also a
similar collection of about $50 vol
umes, and numerous other libraries
throughout the country possess SINH
lar collections for the entertainment
of those deprived of their sight.
An inventor has hit upon a method
of putting stone so1es on boots and
shoes. He mixes a waterproof glue
with a suitable quantity of clean
quartz sand and spreads it over the
leather sole used as foundation
These quartz soles are said to be f1ex-
ible and to give the foot a firm hold
even on the most slippery surface.
One of the greatest difficulties to be
contended with in the practical appIi-
cations of liquid air is that of keeping
it for a length of time According to
Carl Linde, small quantities may be
preserved in we'll exhausted and silver
doub1e-wal1ed glass vessels for a rela-
lively long time One liter of liquid
air requires for its evaporation in such
a vessel about fourteen days. The or
binary sheet iron vessels used indus
tria1ly, holding about fifty Hters and
covered with felt OF wool allows but
two liters to evaporate hourly. Ex-
periments are being made with view
of building large doubIe-waIed and
silvered sheet iron holders and it is
expected that holders will be con-
structed in which the evaporation will
be not more than I per cent per hour.

sists of a fiat piece of metal or a twist

rivet passing through a hole pierced

ANOTHER HUDSON BRIDGE.

Secretary Root has signed an official
document approving the plans for the
new $50 900 900 dOuble-deck Hudson
river bridge. This great public i'm

New York, will preclude any further
delay.
The structure will run from West
New York across the Hudson 1t will
have six tracks for steam railroads on
the main level and four trolley tracks,
a roadway and pedestrian and cycle
paths on the upper deck, constituting
the most complete bridge structure
ever planned This bridge is a combi-
nation of the suspension and cantilever
prin ciples.
The cost of construction is estimated
at more than 81 900 900 per mile. This,
of course. does not include the orna-
mentation of the boulevard and the
carriage approaches and stairways for
pedestrians and bicyclists, all of which
