In this issue of the MIDLAND will be
found letter from Mr.. S. E. Nicholson,
State Supt. Anti-Saloon League, in
reply to an inquiry concerning the
violations of the local option law of Har-
ford county, now under consideration of
the Court at Bel air, for which we ask a
careful reading, as it is true statement
of the situation, and thoroughly refutes
the assertion made in one of the Cecil
county papers that the cases will not be
tried. The first case selected and placed
on trial is shown to have been violation
of the license law of Havre de Grace, and
not the prohibitory law of Hartford, and
which, if we are to pursue the same line
of argument ~ followed by the license
advocates, would seem to indicate that
their splendid law with all its wonderful
restrictions and regulations is miserable
f,ilure, in that convictions cannot be had
under it for violations. Strong argument
this, and one which appeals to thoughtful
temperance advocates as a reason tor

of the license system in this county on

1t is estimated at the War Department
that at least three years will be required
for the completion of the negotiations
between the Department and the Vatican
looking to the transfer of the friars' lands
to this government. This long delay 1t
is said will arise from the complicated
titles and the peculiar processes of the
Spanish law. Anticipating the difficulties
in the way Of minute examination Of
the titles, Governor Taft offered to the
Vatican a lump sum for the holdings of
the friars, agreeing to assume all risk of
defective titles, but this proposition was
rejected by the Pope aud now every title
will have to be examined and thereafter
negotiations looking to the sale entered
into with papal delegate, Mgr. Guidi. It
is stated, however, that the only sufferers
FROM the delay will be the friars, as much
of their land is already held by the Phil
ippine Commission and most of the re-
mainder is held by the municipalities
which have virtually expelled the friars,

swers every purpose for which the ar
ticle may have been intended, without

says the Household in preface to the
following suggestions:
The wall is the only place where
decoration and ornamentation merely
are desirable. Here we lavish our
choicest treasures in pictures. bas-re-
liefs, cabinets and shelves for costly
pieces of bric-a-brac. The modern cup
board is not inclosed within glass doors
nor covered with elaborate designs i'll
hand carving or machine work, but it
is plain and strong and made OF some
highly polished, rich looking wood; the
shelves are broad or shallow, to suit
the purpose for which they were de-
signed.
A pretty style of wall cabinet for
china has two shelves. with top and
sides incIosed. These are plain, highly
polished and without ornamentation,
that they may be easily busted. The
blackboard IS covered with dull
venetian red velveteen. which gives
depth and tone to the background and
makes rich setting for choice bits of
china, plates, etc. on the shelves. To-
bacco brown is another rich color for
background especially if the cabinet is
made of any of the light woods. Bur-
lap or denim may be used effectively in
place of velveteen and is more easily
kept free from dust.
A long room may be broken and made

consists in COMPRISING the carotid ar
teries. The operator sits on the ground
behind the patient, whose neck he
seizes with both hands. The index and
middle fingers are then pushed for
ward into the carotids, which are COM
pressed toward the spine. The method
is absolutely harmless, an@stheSia is
rapidly obtained, and the patient
wakes promptly, with no symptoms of

FlREPRooFING OF WOOD.
Latest Advance In the Treatment of
Chemical Impregnation.

Chemical Impregnation.
After most exhaustive series of ex-
periments extending over several
years, with wide range of COM
pounds, Mr.. Joseph l. Terrell has
found in sulphate of ALUMINIUM COM
pound that appears to answer all the
practical requirements. 1t has the adj
ditional feature, of no slight impor-
lance in its bearing upon the fireproof-
ing effect that when strongly heated
it leaves an infusible and noncon-
Quoting residue to cover and protect
the cellular structure throughout the
wood. 1t absolutely prevents the prop
agation not only of flame throughout
the wood, but even of a glow, because
of its nonconducting and unalterable
character, says s. Z. Sadtler in Sci
ence. Sulphate of aluminium in con-
contracted solution is far more efficient
than an alum solution; in fact. it would
seem as If the alkaline sulphate of the
alum simply detFacted from the power
of the aluminium sulphate in the mat
ter of making wood fire resistant.
Sulphate or phosphate of ammonia
acts to make wood fire resistant by rap
idly liberating ammonia gas. which has
the effect of checking the flames on the
surface of the wood. The fiercer the
flame which plays against such wood
the more rapid the liberation and ex-
haustion of the protecting vapor. There
is no residual protective substance re-
naming in the wood, and the carboni-
cation of the fiber proceeds apace. On
the other hand so soon as the sulphate
of aluminium of the superficial layer
of the wood impregnated with this
chemical is decomposed by the heat Of
n flame deposit of aluminium is
formed. the nonconducting properties
of which make it Il barrier against the
propagation of the carbonizing effect
and protect the interior in a very nota-
bic degree.

That Dedicated Organ.

That DcIicnte Organ.
During the South African war many
wonderful cases were reported of re
covery from bullet wounds under cir
cumstanceS which at an earlier date
would have had a very different end
ing. Such rccoveries were due in very
large measure to the difference in the
character of the projectile itself as
compared with those of previous wars
and also TO the progress made by mod
ern surgery. y case now reported by
DR.. Theodore Diller in the Journal of
Nervous and Mental Diseases is chiefly
remarkable. however. in showing the
extent of injury which may be toler-
nted by so sensitive an organ as the
brain.
The case was that of hoy who at
the age of thirteen was wounded by
Il bullet which entered just above the
middle of the right eyebrow and made
its exit five millimeters to the left of
the occipital protuberance. Uncon-
scioushess followed the injury and
lasted for three weeks. Hernia cerebri
occurred at the site of the wounds,
and fragments of bone had to be re-
movcd before healing took place.
When the patient regained conscious
ness, he was found to be speechless
and completely paralyzed on the left
side of the body. Speech. however, re-
turned at the end of four or five weeks.
and the paralyZed leg gradually re-
gained some degree of power during
the next three years. Eleven years
after the injury, although he had lost
all power of motion in the left hand
and forearm and there was partial pa
ralysis of the left side of the face, the
patients health was otherwise good,
and he exhibited no mental defect.

Following the discovery as announced
in the New York Times that Professor
Marckwald of Berlin had discovered n
new metal which emitted invisible
| light radiations comes the announce
ment from Paris that there is in the
study Of these new metals the POSSIBLE
ity of aid to the blind. 1t has been
found that many substances emit ac-
tive rays-in fact. that a majority of
the common objects about us store up
sunlight during the day and emit the
rays at night.
Special substances, such as the salts
of uranium. from which many new
metals have been eliminated. such as
poionium, radium. actinium. thorium,
ETC., emit certain active radiations
which apparently ARE not the result of
stored sunlight. for they are active
WHEN found at the bottom of the deep
est mines before sunlight has reached
them.
And now these radiations. which, like
Y rays, are able to penetrate Opaque
substances, are to be used TO test the
condition of the interior of tile eye
wien disease or accident has rendered
the surface Opaque. For instance, it
sometimes happens that back of a cata-
ract the condition OF the eye is hope
less. and yet without knowledge of this
Operations are performed, only to prove
useless. The metals obtained from ura-
MUM are very powerful projectors OF
light. 1t has been computed that the
velocity of the rays which shoot away
from these substances is half as fast
as that of light. or $500 miles sec
ond, and yet the waste is so small that
the loss from a square centimeter of
surface would be infnitesimal, or
something like a miIligram in 1,0O0,-
100000 years.
The rays, like Y rays. also act pow
erfully on the human body. producing
an effect much like the so called y ray
burns. A vial full of uranium salts
carried in the pocket for a short time
has been known to produce redness
of the skin, followed by severe sore
ness which lasted for weeks and was
difficult to heal.
Now come NJ. and Nine Curie. the
French scientists who discovered some
of the metals and who are carrying on
a series of experiments to Determine
the value of the metals in relation to
eye disease. They are being assisted
by the distinguished French opthai-
mologist laval. who is blind and is
therefore intensely Interested in the
subject. Javars blindness is the result
of chronic glaucoma. for which every
cure known to science was tried in
vain. He has taken up the new metals
in the hope that relief may be OBJ

the st. Paul Pioneer Press. 1t is said
TO be n great Improvement over the

seals at present in use enable car
thieves to break the seal. carry away
what goods they want and then reseal

BILE for railroad authorities to locate
