much lime should be boiled before be-

care should be taken that the water is
not too cold. Washing with hot water

Thanks to Mr.. Cations studies, we
know how much children inherit from
each of their ancestors; and it is
theoretically possible to calculate how
much increasing the productiveness OF
the better individuals would improve
the race Thus, il those who are well
endowed-and DR.. Cation believes that
II is possible to discover differences in
efficiency early in life-were enabled
to marry young and were placed in

the race would be increased by an
amount that can be calculated A
Utopia such as Dr. Gallon plans Is not
easy to carry into effect hut 1t is well
to realize what enormous consequences
would follow We're this possible under

What Wireless Telegraphy is.
In order to follow intelligently the
advance of wireless telegraphy from
the beginning some rough idea mus
be had of the modern physicists views
regarding the nature of electrical phe.
nomena. To this end all space must
be regarded as permeated for a some.
thing termed the luminferous ether.
Not only does this ether permeate the
spaces between the heavenly bodies
and our atmosphere (Which conception
offers little difficulty to the lay mind).
but it also permeates all solids. Fur.
Their, its nature is such that the move
ment even of solids is not in the least
restrained by such permeation, the
closest analogy being that of sieve,
representing the solid. being moved
about in water representing the ether.
The ether is the seat not only of all
electrical phenomena, but also of oil
the phenomena of light and heat. All
of these, apparently so distinct, are
but the result of vibrations or waves
on the ether. the apparent differences
being due only to differences In the
length of the waves and the rapidity
with which they occur, just as one
musical note differs from another in
the same particulars, only that the
sound waves are air waves and not
ether waves.
Now with the usual telegraphic
methods the current, as Il is termed
is sent or directed through space by
means of metallic conductor. Act.
ually nothing passes through the wire.
as 1t implied by the use of the word
current" What actually takes place
is the transmission of energy along
the path of the wire by means of vi.
mrations in the neighboring ether.
That is. the metal Of the wire acts
merely as guide for the ether waves
to the destination desired.
In wireless telegraphy, ether vibra.
tions are also set up at the transmit
ting station but these, having no con.
Quoting guide. radiate in all directions

Alcohol for Car Lighting.
The Bayarian state railroads report
that their experiments with alcohol as
an illuminant with lamps having
something like a Wesbach gas burn.
err have been entirely successful SO
far as the illumination is concerned
But II is indispensable that the lamps
should be kept clean and carefully and
cautiously handled and the change OF
the asbestos nantes at the proper
time and keeping them in order are OF
great importance. The officials are In.
structed to give special instruction and
supervision to the men who care for
and use these lamps. The chief OBJ.
Ject in introducing alcohol as an illum-
inant seems to be to increase the mar.
ket for the product of the distilleries
Novel Glass Blowing.
Up to the present tine the art of
blowing glassware by means OF com.
pressed air has been limited to bottles
and similar articles of small size, but
process is being exploited In Ger.
many by which bathtubs and other
large tanks can be made with the
greatest ease.
The method is very simple. The
glass is taken from the furnace while
at red heat and In a liquid form and
placed In The mold which may be
readily swung into any desired posi-
ton Compressed air is then admitted
through flexible tube. which con-
meets with the bottom of the mold, the
flow through which can be regulated
by means OF valves. AS soon as the
article ls finished II is carried by
mechanical device to an annealing
chamber, where II is again heated and
then allowed to cool. after which pro-
