Vaccination Under Red LIGHT.

DR.. Paul, director of the Vienna
Vaccination Institute, delivered re-
Gently lecture on vaccination under
red light. DR.. Finsen discovered that
the blue and ultra violate rays Of
light produce the ugly scars which
disfgure patients who have recover
ed from smallpox. Smallpox patients
are, therefore treated in rooms like
those used by photographers, to
which. red light only is admitted.
The window panes are Of red glass,
and no electric light. only candles,
are used in red glass globes. In cases
treated in this way the disease lasts
a much shorter time, and the scars
are almost entirely avoided Prof.
Gartner proposed to vaccinate chill
dren in red light Numerous doctors
have taken his advice. with the re.
suit that no pain was felt, there was
no fever and there were no scars aft
er the pustules had healed. This re-
suit, declared DR.. Paul, is the reverse
of what is intended by vaccination,
which is meant to make people i'm
mune against infection, and the more
it's effect is felt the better will be
the ultimate result. Rcd light, which
should be applied In all cases Of
smallpox, must be avoided in vacci-
nation if the effect of the vaccinat, IN
is not to be illusory-New York

Forcing Spiders to Spin.

Certain green ants in Queensland,
which also make their nests of leaves
and flowers spun together, are said
to keep spiders to spin for them.
Whether these latter do 1t spcntane-
ously, or require to be held as the
larvae of the other species, does not
seem to have been determined. In
the devices of these ants there is
surely one of natures hints to human
Inventors. Since the days of the
spider artist in the University OF La
gado, spider silk has been dream.
The difficulty of its realization has
been chiefly the pugnacious nature Of
the spider, which prevents them be-
ing kept together. But a machine
has been invented which seems to
overcome the difficulty. It is de-
scribed as a sort Of frame containing
twenty-four miniature guillotines, the
blunt knives Of which descend on the
waists OF the spiders and hold them
fast. A number OF the threads are
secured together on a hook and slow,

Operating a gold mine to secure
funds for the juvenile court of the city
of Denver is the latest fad of Mrs
J. j. Brown, one of the society lead
ers of Colorado's capital, according
to the Cleveland Leader. The funds
of the treasury upon which the judge
of the juvenile court in Denver has
drawn to reclaim boys from their
wicked ways have been fearfully low
Of late. Judge Ben B. Lindsey, father
of the juvenile court movement in the
west, appealed to Mrs. Brown,
whose wealth and social position have
made her the patron o. all the chart
ties of the day.

to this resourceful woman.

brief space and then said: IT will
insure you twice that sum; the boys

it, to fondle me with her beak.
"The intimacy thus established
grew closer and closer, and whenever
was in the garden my little friend
was not far off. She even seemed to
