To a correspondent of the New York
Sun who asks why builders of auto
mobiles did not dispense with the dash
board, since the mud-splashing horse
was absent, another correspondent re-
piled that the dashboard serves to keep
the passengers warm, and that vehicles
without ii would be unsightly. Neither

Review, has discussed the question of
why automobile doors should be open
from the side of the vehicle where they
do not belong, or why automobiles
should have the little ratings on which
to rest the reins of the horse which is
not there, or why the makers of these
vehicles have departed as little as pos
sible from the ancient traditions Of the
lcarriage builder and made things such
as we see on our streets-unsightly.

SCIENCE BREvITIES.

The elevator at the Washington Mon
ument is hereafter to be operated by
electricity. we are told by the Electrical
World and Engineer 1T costs the
Government at present about $4,000 a
year to take the public up the 500 feet
to the top and down again. The sun
dry civil appropriation bill, approved
June s. included $4,000 for one dynamo
and connections. and installation of
new system, and Sc. 500 for an addition
to the boiler house.
"A curious discovery is said to have
been made in Germany that land of
lnever-ending research says the West
ern Electrician. 1T is that the lens of
the human eye is diamagnetic. or pos
sesSed of the apparent property of be-
ing repealed by the poles of a powerful
magnet. 1t is suggested as a possibility
that this characteristic might be utiliz-
: ed in a magnetic treatment to fiatten
the lens and thus improve and perhaps
cure nearsightedness."
! Among the interesting suggestions
relating to the possl pilities of the Phil
I ippines," says the Western Electrician
lis that the islands are the proper place
to grow gutta percna cheaply and
profitably. This assertion is not made
by some optimistic American expan.
Isionist, but is found in a work just pub
lished in Germany and mentioned b.
United States Consul Hughes of Co
burg. The writer notes that the sup
lply of gutta percha is almost exhaust
ed. owing to the reckless and primitiv,
way in which the trees were treated IL
lSumatra and Borneo, whence the prin
lcipal output has come. AS these tree
will flourish in only a very few places
the question has become serious"

OF all the expedients which have been
suggested FOR the Improvement Of society.
the most cold blooded is that proposed by
q certain Or. NcKim. Of New York who
thinks that reform by murder would meet
the requirements of the situation. He ad-
vocates the elimination OF those members
Of the human family who, by reason Of
physical or mental infrmity become bur
dens upon the public. He contends that it
is not only the right but the duty Of so
ciety to put 10 death its criminal and de-
pendent classes. embracing the epleptc
and historical, the imbeciles, and those
who are morally irresponsible. The only
humane sentiment which enters into the
radical proposition OF Dr. McKim is that a
PAINLESS method Of determination shall be
employed. and in his opinion carbonic acid
gas will fulfill this requirement
