GREAT SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY.
Austrian FINDS subtle Matter which
IIo CnII. "EIcctruid."

Francis RychnOwski n mechanical
engineer Of Lcmbcrg, Austria, has dis
covered strange and very subtle
matter. which he called "cleCtroid" be
cause of a certain affinity with cleo
tricity. Eloctroid. produced by spe-
cial apparatus built by the Inventor
is Oht,.ucd by the dissolution Of Ger
tain matters under the influence OF
the electric current. It makes noise,
and at the came time a refreshing
scent and cool breeze are experienced,
This discovery induced Mr.. Rychnow-
ski to make machine capable OF re-
frcshing the air to such degree that
those present during the experiment
had the feeling that the window was
open, although this was not the case.
! Elcctroid is a very subtle matter, but
| 1t SCENE to be nuid aud 1t can be
gathered and preserved. While falling
on plate 1t reflects in a shape OF
shining sheavcs. The commission APP
pointed by the Austrian government
| to investigate this discovery reported
that under the influence Of electrold
plants grow rapidly and the buds OF
flowers unclose while one is looking at
them. ElectrOid annlhlates microbes
and thus preserves organic matter
These are physiological influences OF
electroid Among mechanical phe-
nomena the commission reported that
the influence OF elcctroid is not
stopped even by a brick wall and
glass; that it attracts solid bodies and
makes them shine like moonliGht-it
makes them move and attract other
bodies: finally, that it acts on photo
graphic plates and produces sharp and
distinct lines, such as were formerly
possible only with a very powerful
lens.

One Of the priced curios OF the Phil
adeIphia mint is a coin which is 1000
years old, and which was coined at the
ancient mint Of that other Philadel-
phia OF the far east mentioned in the
bible. 1t is still in good condition,
and the inscription is perfectly legi-
BILE. The design of the face OF the
coin bears striking resemblance to
the Goddess OF Liberty OF our own
currency, and underneath is the one
word, Demos" which means the
people. On the other side is the fig-
ure OF Diana. with her bow arched,
and the inscription, Diana, Friend OF
the Philadelphians." When this coin
was struck on. Philadelphia was the
most important city OF Lydia. The
prize was picked up in Europe by Jo-
seph Mickey, celebrated Philadel-
phia violinmaker and numismatist OF
high repute, who presented 1t to the
