upon the cold blue waters of the bay

down to the beach, tears in every eye,

Their fasting was once again turned
into feasting, their suppllcations into
thanksgivings; and with one accord
they assembled at the church. 1t is

In Colonial times it still remained

STILL ANOTHER ANAEsTHETIc.
Said to Possess Good Qualities of
Cocaine Minus the Bad.

1t is stated that the editor Of a
medical periodical published in Ger
many, c. Imgens, in conjunction with
DR.. Franz Hoffman, has succeeded in
producing a substance which posses
ses all the qualities of cocaine in
causing insensibility to pain, and at
the same time has none of the injuri-
Gus effects of that remedical agent.
This new substance has been called
by them "alypin." After numerous
experiments the two investigators
have been able to establish the fact
that alypin is neutral reagent cas-
lily soluble in water, causing insensib-
ility to pain at the place of applica-
ton; a so-called local anaesthetic in
contrast to the effect produced by the
generally known anaesthetics, which
cause entire loss of consciousness
and are in the real sense of the term
narcotics. These experiments have
further shown that alypin, while pos
sessng strength equal to cocaine in
it's effect, is at the same time to be

SCIENCE NOTES.

Up to the present there has been no

and has commissioned Londbers, the
Swedish engraver, to make large me

The light of the freely is believed to
have an efficiency of virtually 100 per-
cent Of the energy expended, whereas
recent tests indicate that the light ef-
ficiency of the ordinary incandescent
lamp is only 2.6 percent; the rest Of
the energy is expended in producing
heat which is not needed. Inventors
do not yet despair of success in imi-
tating the firefly's economical method
of producing an illumination.
II the earth, says Prof. u. Ruther-
ford, were supposed to have been
composed, initially, of pure radium,
the activity 10000 years later would
not be greater than the activity OBJ
served in pitchblende today. But,
since there is no doubt that the earth's
age vastly exceeds 10000 years, it is
necessary, in order to account for the
existence of radium at all in the earth,
to suppose that it is continuously pro-
duced from some other substance.
An ingenious application of the pc
culiar property of selenium of varying
its electric resistance with change of
illumination has been made by Mr..
Courvoisier of Heidelberg in the cleo

a distance for recording time and
comparing clocks. Heretofore the
beats have been electrically transmit

dulum itself. This method introduced

with the pendulum.

DlsAcREEABLY AGREEABLE.
Young Man Was There with the
Oily Approval to Nauseat-

A story told of the late James F. Joy
Is at least characteristic. He was never
weak in his likes or dislikes, and among
the things that he dearly liked we're
honesty and naturalness. The attempt to
appear what one were not was to antag-
onize him, says the Cincinnati CONNER
clal Tribune.
Mr.. Joy had many positions at his dis
Eosal, and an applicant for one OF them
came with gilt-edged credentials. The
young man presenting them was OF good
appearance, finely educated, and the son
of one whom the fnancier had respected
fol- years. Wise as to his tongue the youth
would have o walkover.
The older man purposely engaged the
younger in conversation. The latter re
piled in smooth sentences, delivered in
dulcet tones. Mr.. Joy would make q
statement carrying an opinion, and there
would be unctuous approval from his
caller. This got ON to the nerves Of
the sturdy old gentleman. He advanced
an opinion Numerically opposed to the
one delivered but q few sentences be.
fore. The youth was right there with
his oily approval. The railroad magnate
wondered how far it would go, and put
the test:
Don't you think that this is a much

"But on second thought I think it con-
siderably cooler"

At Liau-Yang.

War is sorry business, but not ig-
noble while such stories as those record
ed in From Toxic to Tif1is" can be told
of men. One is of young lieutenant,
known throughout japan as the hero of
Motienling. IN the advance on Liau-
yang he was among the foremost.
Charging with his men through a field
of giant millet, he was struck by q
splinter of an exploding shell, which
tore away part of his lips, shattered
teeth and wounded the tip of his tongue.
He was ordered to retire, and behind a
slight shelter the field surgeon did quick
work. Despite his pain, the man was
seen to smile, and attempted to humble
some words in his now blurred speech.
The surgeon bent down to .atch what
he was striving to tell. The young mans
smile deepened, and he made a motion
with his head toward his hands and feet

FAST FLYERS OF THE SEAS
Auto-Boats Built to outstrip Any
thing That Floats on the
Water,

Picture boat about 40 feet long.
That would be practically the length Of
an ordinary street car. 1t is not five feet
wide, or much less than half the width of
the car, and is so made that when float
ing evenly on the water it draws about
eight inches. This boat, states Pear
sons Magazine, has Sharp stem that
cuts cleanly through the water About
amidships the form of the hull is shaped
like the letter U, and toward the stern
the bottom is flattened so that it rests
on the top Of the water. This is an auto
boat, built for speed; and if it has not
speed it is good for nothing. 1t Is fitted
with a powerful engine that will drive it
over the water at a rate of 20 miles an
hour or better, and everything in the
model and construction OF the boat has
been sacrificed to speed.
Speed, speed-that is the one idea of
the sportsman nowadays. He wants to
have the fastest of whatever his fad is.
This speed is to win little glory for a
short time; and then when some one
wrests that glory away by producing
something speedier, the search for more
speed is carried on further, and there
seems to be No limit. Marine engineers
say that the limit of speed must be
reached some time, but each year finds
boats that were champions of the pre-
vious season relegated to the second
rank, and speedier craft take their
places at the head Of the list.
Now the fad is for fast launches, "au-
toboats" they are called, because the
motor that drives the propellers of these
boats is similar to those used in auto
mobiles. These boats are simply shells
with motors as powerful as can be con-
structed, and as delicate as the mechan-
ism Of a fine watch. The shells are so
thin that one wonders how they hold
together; but they do, and the boats
dart about the water. rivaling the pace
of the railroad trains and leaving be-
hind them cruisers and steamers that
have won worldwide fame for their
speed.
