SCHOOL HOUSE BURNED.

The New Germany School Building De-
stroyed BY Fire Tuesday Morning.
With their new school house in
ashes and no funds available by the
School Board to replace it the pupils
and citizens of New Germany will in
all probability be without school the
balance of the winter, as the school
house at that place was burned to the
ground Tuesday morning shortly af-
ter four o'clock.
The teacher, Miss Annie Lint,
cleaned the building after Mondays
sessions preparatory to the opening
on Tuesday morning and states that
at that time no fire was in the stove
nor had any been in it from Monday
morning about ten o'clock, conse-
quently the origin of the fire is left
open to speculation-the opinion be-
ing freely expressed that it was the
work of an incendiary.
The building was practically new
one, having been erected but three
years ago and was considered one of
the neatest and best kept school
houses in the county. There was no
insurance.

Means of a Magnet.
Some novel experiments are nov
being successfully tried in the eye hos
pital of the Berlin university, says tn,
Cincinnati Gazette, the object being
to test the efficacy Of the electro-mag
net as a curative agent in the cases OF
persons into whose eyes some foreign
objects have intruded themselves
There are many industries in which
the workmen are liable to be injured
in this way, and there are few meta

whose eyes pieces of metal or other
objects have not at some time been re-
moved.
Hitherto this has been a most pain.

which the objects penetrated to a con-
siderable distance within the ewes ii

Now, however, the important dis
cOvery has been made that by the use
Of an electromagnetic foreign object
can be drawn out of the eye as skill
fully as the most expert surgeon could
perform such an operation. More
over, the patient suffers compare
lively little while the electromagnetic
is doing its work, for the foreign OBJ
joct, unless it has gone far into the
eye, is generally drawn out quickly
and without leaving any serious
wound. If it has penetrated far, a
passage must be cut, through which
it may be drawn out. Though this is
a painful operation, it is not more
painful than would be the subsequent
work Of the surgeon in extracting the
object-a work which the electro.
magnet now does, and in the doing
causing hardly any pain.
The success of the physicians Of

Secrets of Trees.
Pbpular Mechanics }

Nobody seems to know what cause it is
which produces those delicate and beauti-
full lines in maple, known as bird 's-eye.
Some people think they come from the
hundreds of little branches which shoot
out all over the trunk of the tree as soon
as clearing is made around it. Expert
timbermen say that is not the case. The
only way to tell bird's-eye maple tree is
to cut it. There are no outward signs by
which one can judge. The Railroad Ga
Zette tells story of the late George NJ.
Pullman. Many years ago he was offered
mahogany log for $4,000, to be cut into
veneers. 1t was supposed to be very
fine piece of wood, but this could only be
determined by cutting it. He declined the
offer, but agreed to take the log cut into
veneers for what it was worth. The own
er had it sawed and was paid 5000 for
his veneers. Any one who can discover
the secret Of determining the interior ma
ture of wood from the outside will have a
fortune.
