A striking use OF the Hrays Is to be
made in the case Of two sisters joined
together in the same manner as the
celebrated Siamesc twins, These girls
we're recently discovered in Brazil, and
have reached the age Of ten years. Tho
examination with the X-rays Is to be
made with view to determining
whether the bond joining two bodies
can be severed by surgical operation.
II the bodies are independent, surgical
treatment would be justihable and pos
sibly successful, but il there Is an ac-

CuIIen's Scripture.

The Paris Mercury gives Pat
Cullen some credit for knowledge
of Scripture and also for some
foresight of coming events. The
Mercury says:
The Bowling Green Times, al
ways stickler in things religious,
has had the bad taste to correct
Pat Cullen's use of Scripture in
his speech at New London. Pat
compared old man Jester to Mary
and Joseph Fleeing before the
wrath of Pharaoh into Egypt" ,"
and found in his silence similar
ity to that of Christ who, accord
ing to Pats Bible, didn't speak a
word when before PLATE. These
are trifling inadvertencics, even if
Pharaoh didn't reign at Jerusalem
in Mary and Joseph's day, and de-
spite the fact that Christ did speak
a great many things while before
the Roman governor. Pats ia.
miliarity with the Bible, by lea,
son of his long career as lawyer,
is, of necessity, limitel, but he
knew to a scientific certainty how
the jury was going-aud that's
what counted.

Two years ago well was drilled on
the Hays farm. near Independence,
Mo, IN search Of oil. The well was
put down by some eastern company.
Situated In a secluded place along a
little creek, very few people ever knew
that the well had been drilled. What
was found in the well will never be
known, for as soon as 1t was complet-
ed. it was Immediately filled up with
rock and dirt. Lately, however, gas
has begun to issue from the well, and
now it comes forth in considerable
quantities. 1t is not far from a little
station on the Santa Fe railroad, and
this winter the tramps have taken pos
session Of the place. They have piled
rocks around the well and turned a
part of an oil stove over II, on which
they cook. They have put up shanty,
and in the center Of the room their
stove heated 1t with natural gas. The
advantage OF natural gas has made
tho place a favorite rendezvous for
tramps for miles around, and they
have quite a colony there.

Some Point. About Metals.

Extreme cold increases the tenacity
OF pure metals and alloys, and the
higher the melting point of metal the
stronger 1t is likely to be. This is
accounted for by the statement that
metals with high melting points must
necessarily be coherent and tenacious.
Metals are composed OF molecules. and
high melting point metals require an
enormous amount Of heat to drive the
molecules apart.
