To DtsDel the Fog.

AZ DAokSCA SAAC II OSs
The latest invention Is q fog -dispeller.
The apparatus consists of a horizontal
outlook pipe eight feet in length and
eight inches in diameter At the mouth
Of the tube Is a wide fiange; the rear
end is covered with u thick disc of
glass. About two feet from the rear
end a pipe enters the tube from below,
at an obtuse angle with the forward
section.
This connection is made through a
sort of turn-table, which permits the
outlook tube to be pointed in any direc.
ton desired, up or down, from one
side to the other. The pipe below con-
meets with a blower down in the yes.
sci.
When the dispeller is in use, the
blower sends a powerful stream Of air
up through the pipe into the tube, and
the current hurtles into the fog. boring
a hole through 1t, as it were.
The action of the suspended moisture
is twofold. The fog is rolled back in
every direction. the high pressure OF
the blast produces a cooling influence,
the moisture in suspension cOndenses
and falls In rain. A great cone of cleal
atmosphere, with its apex at the mouth
Of the tube. results.
The eye of the pilot is at the glass at
the rear Of the tube, and he gazes into
the bowels Of the fog. With its aid q
pilot can readily pick up his buoys in a
fog. and keep an eye out FOX vessels
ahead.
hopes to make the fog-dispeller useful
at 1000 feet.
No cle1kn is made that the dispeller
would be practicable except when the
vessel Is going at slow rate of speed,
which is customary when there is foggy
weather.-Philadelph Inquirer.

HOW o,pArAsR,s IS SPREAD.

A Borrowed Lead Pencil Is Frequently
the Vehicle of Contagi0n.
Tne apparently harmless act of bor-
rowing a lead pencil is recognized by
the medical faculty as prolific means
Of prOpagating disease. Many people
still cling to the time hOnored practice
Of moistening the writing end of the
pencil il the mouth before they proceed
to write.
The practice of borrowing pencils is
now believed to be responsible for
many cases of diphtheria and tOnsilitis
which could not be otherwise accounted
for. Physicians have. therefore, begun
to warn their patients against putting
the points of lead pencils In their
mouths before they write.
The practice of swapping" and bor-
rowing lead pencils is more common
among children than adults. The spirit
Of camaraderie which makes pupils
grow "chummy" and social in the pub
lie schools sometimes causes lead pen
ellis to become common property among
groups Of school children. A child who
Is recovering from any throat disease
might, therefore. be the innocent means
of communicating the malady to its
companions. A well-knOwn throat spe-
pitfalls of New York and Brooklyn, said
yesterday:
physicians are now beginning to
give their attention to the cause and
prevention of diseases more than ever
they did before. The rules of common
sense are being instilled into the par
ents of the young patients, and doctor
Of to-day. when called to attend child
puts its parents through a very rigid
cross-examinatiOn as to the habits Of
his little patient. 1t Is often found that
the disease has been communicated by
some harmless act which most people
would not notice. Children are very
democratic. A pupil at a school will
mOisten a lead pencil In his mouth and
begin to write. A companion will bOr-
row the pencil. and the first thing he
will do in nine cases out Of ten will be
to put the borrowed pencil in his mouth.
l have traced several cases of tonsilitis
and diphtheria to this cause, which at
first sight appeared inexplicable. Even
the seeds Of consumption may be sown
by this MEANS"
Regarding the habit Of moistening the
lead pencil before writing the super
intendent Of large pencil factory said
yesterday:
1T is a mistake to suppose that mois-
tening the lead Of a pencil makes it
write better. 1t spoils the pencil, as it
hardens the lead, yet people will per-
sist in the uncleanly habit of thrusting
borrowed pencils in their mouths

CHAPTER XVI.

What shall l do to rouse herr said
Leah to herself one morning, after her
usual conversation with the doctor. "She
is sweet-tempered, loving and grateful
but she seems to have lost all desire to
live"
Suddenly Leah bethought herself of the
packages from SouthwOod. Surely among
them she would find something that. by
memory or association, would startle her
mind into activity.
Leah went TO the unused room in tn,
western wing where the packages lay and
the writing case was the first thing that
caught her attention. 1t was probable
there would be among her fathers papers
something which would remind Hettie OF
her old home and rouse her into a more
active state of mind. She opened the
case and found it filed with documents
All, what was this? A letter in square
envelope. on which was written, For my
daughter Leah. written now that l know
l am dying. to be sent or given to her
after my death" She looked at 1t again
mistrusted her eyes while she read the
words. She put it into the pocket of her
dress: she would read it when she had
finished her search. She would be all the
harpier if that letter were kind anf
loving one. 1t had been sore trouble u
her that she had reached her fathers side
too late and that he had died calling Tor
her and she was not there.
A few minutes later she had gone bacR
TO Hettie's room. with manv little m"
meutoes of home that she thought would
interest her. Then a visitor arrived. one
of the ladies of the neighborhood, to maxi
special inquiries after Hettie. When sh'
left Leah remembered the letter.
1t was rather early to have the lamps
lighted, though the rooms were gloomy
with a miserable yellow light. The
drawing room was bright and gay with
flowers. A fire burned in the CRATE: the
vivid flames rose and fell with dazzling
light. Leah stirred the fire. rouslng II

A month had elapsed since the fatal
day on which Leah had read her fathers
letter She had made up her mind now
how to act. The doctors had agreed that
Hettie would not recover until she had
had change Of air, and it was arranged
that when the first breath of warm

the south of France. The Duke and
Duchess Of Rosedene were already set
tied there. SO that there would be

some mention of the wedding. Leah's
beautiful face had paled, and q wistful
,ook had come into her eyes. She said
hat the wedding must be delayed; there
could be no thought Of marriage when
Hettie was in such q fragile state OF
health. She spoke calmly. and smiled
when she remembered how little anyone
knew Of the pain at her heart.
The general had demurred slightly
when she refused to hear of the marriage
taking place, as had been settled In the
.. spring.
Delayed marriages are always un-
lucky. Leah" he said to her.

rendered twenty years ago sus.
tanning the exemption from tax
alton a number OF years given in
certain charters until repealed by
the Legislature, millions of money
were invested in the state in rail
roads and manufactures. The
soundness of this decision had
never been questioned by the
courts, and the Legislature had
persistently refused to repeal these
exemptions as savoring of dishon-
esty. and bad faith until our pres
ent Supreme Court concluded to
set this decision aside. To the
credit of Judge Woods he dissent
ed in an able opinion. This opin-
ion, which would not have been at
all surprising in court composed
OF populites, takes away the right
of exemption to which the faith
of the state was solemnly p lodged,
and requires the corporations in
terested-to pay back taxes amount
ing to nearly $4,000, 200. This
action is in line with the spirit Of
reputation which long ago placed
a stigma upon the good name of
Mississippi, and we would be glad
to see the Legislature do some
thing in the way of modifying
this fragrant wrong by accepting a
compromise. Woodville Repub-
