GREAT SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY.
Austrian Finds Subtle Matter Which
 He Calls "Electroid."


 Francis Rychnowski, a mechanical engineer of Lemberg, Austria, has dis covered strange and very subtle matter, which he called "electroid'' be- cause of certain affinity with elec- tricity. Electroid, produced by rpe- cial apparatus built by the inventor, is obtained by the dissolution of cer- tain matters under the influence of the electric current. It makes noise, and at the same time refreshing scent and cool breeze are experienced. This discovery induced Mr Rychnow- ski to make machine capable of re- freshing 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. Electroid is very subtle matter, but it seems to be a fluid, and it can be gathered and preserved. While falling on a plate it reflects in a shape of shining sheaves. The commission ap- pointed by the Austrian government to investigate this discovery reported that under the influence of electroio plants grow rapidly and the buds O. flowers unclose while one is looking at them Electroid annlhilates microbes and thus preserves organic matter. These are physiological influences of eleetroid. Among mechanical phe-- nomena the commission reported that the influence of eleetroid is not stopped even by brick wall and glass Ss 1t 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 ana produces sharp and distinct lines, such as were formerly possible only with very powerful lens.

Are They Sol Mornings Bones.

Some teeth and bones, believed to be
those of a human being have been found
in an ashe pile at the house occupied by
the negro Sol Moring and his family at
the time of his disappearance. These
relics have suggested the theory that
Moring was murdered and his body
burned. Mr.. j. II. Fleming brought the
teeth found in the ashes to Raleigh yes
terday and will put them in the hands
of the officers to see if this evidence
will be of any assistance. Readers of this
paper are familiar with the story of the
disappearance last fall of a negro named
Solomon Moring. who lived few miles
north of Raleigh. Both SolGmon's wife
and his son were arrested on the charge
of murder, but after searching for weeks
no clue of the body could be found and
the prisoners were released on habeas
corpus proceedings Still nothing has
been heard of Solomon. His family nave
moved away from the house which they
occupied and a new tenant moved in.
This tenant discovered the bones.
