TRANSPARENCY OF FLESH.
Actinic Rays of the SUN Pass Through
Human Cheek and Affect Photo
graphic Dry Plate.

Dr. j. w. Kline, in an article cOntrlbut-
ed to the Scientific American, gives de-
tails of some experiments that show
that sunlight will penetrate in COM
paratively short time through consid-
erable thickness of flesh. He bound to-
gether a small negative and gelatino-
bromide plate of the ordinary kind
(that is, not specially sensitized for
COLOR, and put the combination be-
tween the teeth and the cheek of the
subject, taking suitable precautions that
no light should enter the mouth. The
cheek was then exposed to direct sun
shine in February for 40 seconds, and
in every case it proved that the image
was developable. One man had a thick,
short black beard and this lessened the
exposure effect somewhat. Another
was a negro, with thick, dark cheek;
here the diminution in the light trans
mitted was still more marked. No steps
were taken to interfere with the circu-
lation of the blood, and DR.. Kline con-
siders that his experiments show that
it is not necessary, as has been stated,
to compress the parts to free them from
blood as far as possible when light is
used as surgical agent. DR.. Kline also
states that his experiments show why
red light is valuable in the treatment of
smallpox They prove that no chem
ical light of any consequence reaches
the patient" when red curtains are fixed
over the windows, etc. and so irritation

ment lessened. But, as the Photographic
plates used were not sensitive to red
light, the soundness of this deduction
from the experimental results may be
doubted

PATENTS FLYING MACHINE.
South DakOtan Employs . Balloon
Supporting Frame Driven
by Motor Power.

Isaac l. Morris, of Melletto, S. D., has
been granted a patent for flying ma
chine. 1t is his own invention. 1t Is
alleged that the machine flies and is
controlled with ease The inventor had
trouble to satisfy the examiners that
the invention would work In his appli-
cation Mr.. Morris says:
"a balloon-supported frame is en-
ployed, provided with a motive power,
including means for lifting and means
for driving. 1t also carries a steering
device and wheels to support the struc-
ture when on the ground.
Another purpose is to provide a
novel form Of rotary wings used in con-
nection with fixed canopy wings of like
construction, all the wings being provid-
ed with automatically operating valves,
the valves of the rotary wings opening
at the upper strokes and closing at their
downward strokes, while the valves Of
the fixed canopy wings operate stimuli
taneously with the rotary wings, but
reversely, the valves of the canopy
wings are closed with their downward
and lifting motion and closing when
the side wings are on their up stroke
to maintain an elevation acquired by the
side wings during their downward
stroke.

COFFEE AS A STJMULANT.
Medical Authority Declares 1t Is an
AntidOte for Alcohol and 9th
erwfse Beneficial.

One of the highest authorities among
medical publications. the London Lancet.
gives few words of advice and comfort
to the lovers of coffee and says that this
most popular of all drinks is not harm
full.
AS an after-dinner drink it believes
coffee Is distinctly beneficial. Coffee also
Is an antidote for alcohol. The dyspep-
tic, it says, should not drink coffee or tea
because both are injurious to weak stom-
achs.
AS substitute for the hot drink, how
ever, coffee jelly is recommended. In
this form it can be taken into any stom-
ach without injury, provided there is no
stinting of the quantity Of coffee in the
jelly. 1t has cooling effect, assuages
the thirst and Is generally beneficial.
Coffee, the Lancet declares, is a stimu-
liant, like alcohol, but, unlike alcohol, it
arouses muscular energy without the
collapse which follows alcoholic drinks.
This is likely to prove grateful informa-
ton to the thousands of Americans who
think they cannot begin the day without
free indulgence In coffee and often con-
sumo that beverage with each Of the
three daily meals.

THE NOVELETTE, HERO.
Story Writer Defends Cheap Modern
Fiction Against the Charge of
Dangerous SensatiOnaIism.

One who conresses himself ''the fa-
ther of many of them" writes de-
fense of the novelette, hero in the
columns of "V. c." He takes the line
that the charge of dangerous sensa-
tionalism is undeserved and only
comes from those whose opinions
have been formed on the subject by
cursory study of the novelette, in it's
infancy. He admits frankly that the
romantic interest of cheap modern fic-
tion of to-day bears very little relation
to the facts of life, but this is a charge,
he declares, which can be levelled with
equal truth against the popular novels
which literary journals treat with high
seriousness. The novelette, hero is al
most invariably man of action, whose
doings stimulate unsophisticated read
ers to fine things and clean thoughts,
while almost always he is the cham
pion of truth, honor and religion.
There is no pessimism in the novelette,,
and the enormous sales of this humble
form of fiction may therefore be taken
as a testimony to the inherent optim-
ism of the English people. Love is
it's main interest, action is it's setting,
and it's conclusion is always immacu-
lately happy. What strikes us most
about the novelette,, perhaps. is the
ability shown by the writer's. 1t is
common knowledge that many of them
have only just fallen short of attain
ing success in the higher fields OF
literature. For the rest we are dis
posed to agree with the writer of the
article that the charge of dangerous
sesationalism is undeserved.

thing about Simeon bein' took up for

layin' down by the pole, ponderin' like,
when along comes young Steve with the
news from the county seat, and he hol-
lers out:

jail! Hooray!'
with that says the Squire, the
bear jumped up and danced and Rugged

when the Squire's grandfather heerd
all about 1t, he up and says:
"T warned him! I warned him ag'in
the bear, but he poofed at me! The bear
stole them sheep and put it on to Simeon,
