The Difference In the Penetrating
Ability of Their Rays.
The rays of heat and light are quite
independent of each other in their abil-
ity TO penetrate different substances.
For Illustration, glass allows the suns
heat TO pass through as readily as 1t
does the rays Of light, and that without
heating the glass too. If the glass be
coated with lampblack, however, tho
rays of light are arrested, but the heat
passes through as before not single
degrees difference in the latter phe-
nomenon being noticeable. Then, again,
both heat and light pass through wa

oddities In this connection is this: Al
though the heat and light pass through

of little powdered alum, which readi-
iy dissolses without leaSlng the least

The Capital of Liberia Was Named
After President Monroe.
Monroyla was named after the cele-
brated president OF the United States,
Monroe, who is responsible for that
doctrine which inhlbits any European
nation from further conquests In the
new world. The capital Of Liberia Is
divided into two parts, the low and
shoreward sections being given over TO
large settlements OF Kru boys and
Indigenous negroes, while the upper
part Of tho town IL inhabited by Amer
leo Liberlans and European consuls and
traders. This civilized part Of the town
Is composed of broad grass grown
streets and substantial, well built,
comedy looking houses, churches, offices
and public buildings.
This smart appearance of the houses
Is In somewhat striking contrast to
the neglected condition of the roads.

| LONDON, Nov. 25.-The total num-
Der of London pauper lunatics under
| treatment on January L, this year,
was 24,652, an increase of 704 upon the
number on January l, 1904.
The total given in the London county
councils annual report on the work of
the asylums committee.
The numbers have grown from 16,S5S
in 1890 to their present total of 24,652,
an increase during the fifteen years Of
1924.
The division, according to the sexes.
shows that more women than men lose
their reason, the former numbering 49,,
$50. the latter 10,993.
During last year 3Sl4 new patients
were received into the asylums. They
came from almost every class of So
ciety.
Some interesting facts regarding the
causes of lunacy are given in the re-
ports supplied by the medical superin-
tenoents of the various asylums.
DR.. e. r. X. Stansfeld of the Bexley
asylum gives some remarkable figures
regarding inherited insanity. In 165 of
the cases admitted to that asylum
during the year the full family history
has been obtained, and eighty-nine OF
them, equal to $50 per cent, had hered-
itary insane taint
His experience of insanity during the
last fifteen years has forced upon him
the conviction that hereditary taint and
coneenital defect become more marked
every year; and, further, that the two
important factors which enter into the
cause are the modern treatment or
mental diseases and the strong desire
which permeates every medical super
Intendent of an asylum for mental dis
eases to be able to show high re-
eovery rate.
The number of lunatics who owe their
insanity to intemperance is emphasized

Riding Blind Baggage

Stanley Conder, the l0-year-old boy
who has just travelled thirty miles un-
Ter the carriage of an express train,
deserves a holiday with the relative
whom he has thrice, by sensational
rides, endeayored to reach. For his
age the boy has achieved a record.
More wonderful things have been done,
but by men. One, for example, rode
from Slough TO Paddington on the roof
of a carriage, but then not only years,
but the fact that he was mad, les
sended the merit OF his achievement.
Then railway man at Kings Cross,
while lying beneath a north express,
was carried off to Grantham, An out
of work came from Edinburgh to New
castle, clngng by rail and buffers.
But the biggest thing of the kind
was the feat OF an ex-stoker who tray
eled from Constantinople to Berlin
fifty-three hours-wedged between the
axle and the springs of carriage.-It
Blinded him.--St. James Gazette.
