Internal parts of the living body in
action have been photographed by
DR.. F. II. Eykman. In inyestigat-
ing the motion of the tongue, pharynX
and larynX in swallowing he fixes
an electric contact on the Adams APP
pie, the movement of which closes
the current feeding the Nray tube
at perfectly definite moment dur
ing the motion. TO get a distinct
photograph it is necessary to repeat
the motion 1870 or 1870 times. The po-
sition of the contact is altered for
obtaining pictures of other phases
of the swallowing. Despite the diff
culties of this curious experiment,
fairly good photographs have been
made, and they throw new light on
the working Of the organs of the

THE TOMATOES HISTORY.
From Peru 1t spread to spain and
England and Finally to North
America.

The tomato is a native of South
America and more particularly Of
Peru and the Andean region. The In
dian name for ii is "tumatl" and the
Spanish name tomato" When the
Spaniards arrived in the sixteenth
century they considered nothing Of
much importance except silver. But
in 1888 they took some tomatoes home
with them as a matter of curiosity,
little dreaming that there would some
day be more silver in them than there
was in all the Peruvian mines. There
is a general impression that until 60
or 20 years ago the tomato plant was
universally regarded as poisonous
weed and that its handsome fruit was
called the ''love apple" and never
cultivated except a. something pleas
ant to look upon. But this story is.
inconsistent with itself. The tomato
was called the love apple for the rea-
son that it was believed to be an
aphrodisiac or eNcitant Of amorous
feelings. But it could not even be sus-
pected of such property unless it
had been habitually eaten. The truth
is that there is no record Of time
when in South America the tomato
was not an article of food There is,
indeed. no record Of a time when it
grew wild When the Spanards
reached Peru they found nothing but
the cultivated tomato. which was cul-
tivated for food They took fancy
to it and took ii to Spain. from which
place it found its way in 1896 to Eng
land. From that country it spread
over the whole of southern Europe and
North America.

ELECTRIC FLY KILLER.
Ii Causes n Current to Pass Through

Nothing less than the electrocution

The invention is designed especially
for use in stores. Kitchens, dining
rooms, etc, and is arranged to lure
the insects to light on the apparatus
by providing suitable bait and then
to pass an electric current through
bodies to instantly elcctrocute them.
This fy-liller consists of a frame
made of insulating material, either
wood or hard rubber. and having "a

and bottom of the row OF vertical
strips of metal which form the cleo

They also claim that a human being
has 365 bones, which correspond to
the 365 days of the year; that man
has II ribs and woman II, and that

Moreover, they say that in every
human body there are % parts which
are important and SO which are I'M
important, and they lay great stress
on the necessity of taking good care
of the important parts.

trocuting apparatus. These metal
strips are connected alternately to
the positive and negative wires of an
electric circuit and ii is obvious that
an insect alighting on the strips
must come in contact with both the
positive and negative strips ut the

the current through its body accom-
plishes the desired end.

the flying killer from the ceiling or
to place it on a table or counter and

danger of the flies injecting groceries
or eatables if the apparatus fails to

is one of the newest Of these that we
show in the drawing. The idea is
practically the same as that utilized in
the old-fa shioned overshot water
wheels formerly used to furnish power
for grist mills, only in this case the
current of air is made to drive the
wheel instead of water. The whole
mechanism is mounted on a revolving
platform. with the vaDe at the rear to
keep its head to the wind. and the cur
rent of air is gathered in by the spread
ing wings, which are pivoted in front
of the fat-bladed wheels. Thus the
wind impinges with considera bic force
on the blades, causing he wheels to re-
volve and reciprocating the vertical
pump shaft connected to the crank be-
tween the two wheels. To prevent the
rotation of the wheels it is only neces-
sary TO elevate the lower wing until the
passage leading to the blades is closed.
