EAST WASHINGTON STREET
TO Be PAVED WITH BRICK
Works Board Adopts Resolution
for Important Improvement
from Belt to Irvington.

One OF the most important improvements
planned for this year was decided upon
yesterday by the Board of Public Works.
1t is the paving with brick of East Wash
ington street from the Belt Railroad TO
Wallace street, where the brick pavement
in Irvington begins.
When this Improvement is completed
East Washington street will be paved from
the city a distance of four miles east. The
brick pavement In lrvington extends from
Wallace street 10 Central avenue. The dis
lance to be connected is little over a
mile. 1t will be of the same kind of brick
as the Irvington pavement.
The street has been almost impossible all
winter because of the big sewer to Irving
ton which was put down along this route.
The road is one of the heaviest Travelled
leading into the city, and the Improvement
has been needed for many years.

How to Prevent SvarmInE

In answer to an inquiry as to how
to prevent bees from swarming. Elias
Fox, in Bee Gleanings, says: Il have
thought of this a great deal; and the
more | think OF it the more firmly | am
convinced that we all have non-swarm-
ers if properly manipulated. In other
words, believe that, instead of it's be-
ing natural for bees to swarm, it is
the reverse. or course, there are ex-
ceptions to all rules; but swarming
according to nature is the exception
(barring Carniolans). Give your queens
plenty of room as needed at the proper
time, and the workers the same. and |
will guarantee the rule will be no
swarming-at least in this latitude.
presume these few remarks will cause
the beekeepers to swarm; but try this
simple method and you will hive your
selves automatically.

Strength of an Egg She'll.

Most people are aware of the power of
egg shells TO resist external pressure
on the ends, but not many would credit
the result of tests recently made. which
appear to be genuine, as recorded in the
Scientific American. Eight ordinary
hens eggs were submitted to pressure
applied externally all over the surface
of the shell, and the breaking pressure
varied between 400 pounds and 675
pounds per square inch. With the stress
applied internally to ~ eggs. these gave
way at pressures varying between 80
and 60 pounds per square inch. The
pressure required to crush the eggs
varied between 40 poup,ls and rs
pounds. The average thickness of the
shells was .013 Of an inch.

FIX COLOR AT BIRTH.
COlored Woman TO he Wade Subject of
Hospital Experiment..

Because of an experiment of DR.. j.
w. Hill, of South Bend, one of the
leading physicians and surgeons OF
Indiana, who seeks to prevent an in
FAINT born of negro parents from re-
verting back to the old type of the
colored race, the attention of the
scientific world is expected to be fixed
on South Bend during the next few
months. All arrangements, it is UNI
derstood, have been completed for
DIR. Hills solution of the color scheme
of the human race, and with the as
slstance of DR.. George i. Hager, al
so of that city, DR.. Hill expects to
be successful. A colored woman has
consented to act as the patient, and
she will enter the hospital as soou
as the rooms are made ready for the
scientific event.
According to DR.. Hill, the negro's
skin is more sensitive than that of
any other human being, and for that
reason more pigment is thrown out
to protect him under the climatic
conditions in which his forefathers
were born, the intense heat of the
tropics making this necessary. BY
preventing pigmentation DIR. Hill be-

This is following the idea of DR..
Fenson, the Norwegian scientist,
who found by putting a chameleon
under violet rays that the pigment or
throwing off of color is not of such
marked extent as under the ordinary
light rays.
For this reason red light as actinic
rays will be employed in making the
experiment, for the reason that they
have subduing effect and are not rays

globed lamps. Not the faintest par
