Motion wood is a new invention by NJ.
de Gall, inspector Of forests at Lemur,
France. BY means Of dry distillation and
high pressure the escape of developing
gases is prevented, thereby reducing the
wood to a molten condition. After cool
ing off the mass assumes the character
Of coal, yet without showing a trace of
the organic structure OF that mineral.
This new body is hard, but can be shaped
and polished at will, is impervious to
water and acids and is perfect cleo
trical nonconductor. Great results are
cXpcctel from this new discovery.

Oxygen Starvation.

1t is claimed that signing is but an
other name for oxygen starvation. There
is no doubt but that the most prevalent
cause for signing is worry: An interval
of several seconds often follows moments
of mental disqnietude, during which time
the chest walls remain rigid until ma
lures demand is made for oxygen, thus
causing the deep inhalation. It is the
expiration following the inspiration that
Il properly termed the sigh, and this sigh
IS simply an effort Of the organism ia

considerable attention in the fields Of

Thomson. ito accept the extreme posi-
ton. A middle course is open,
as suggested by DR.. A. r. Wallace, who
advances the view that primitive man
was probably of a Mongoloid stock, and
that his subsequent modification into
white and brown and black varieties was
due to his migrations into geographical
areas where he was subject to the jntlu-
eEce of varied conditions Of climate.

and yellow pigments, probably very
slight admixture Of the black pigment.

Sign was Misleading.

He was a coarse-looking individual
with plenty of nerve. He was hungry
and he entered one Of those 1O-cent res
taurants on lower Main street. He took
stool at the lunch counter, looked at
the bill Of fare and calmly ordered celery.
He finished the first order, and when the
girl attendant asked him if there was
anything more, he ordered more celery.
He ordered third dish and consumed it.
Then he wiped mis- mouth with a clean
napkin, arranged his neckwear, and
started to 60. The proprietor of the
place intercepted him.

the proprietor.
