Fluid lenses" are the invention
of Hungarian chemist Each lens
consists of a fluid substance inclosed
between two unusually hard glass
surfaces, similar to watch crystals.
The lenses are achromatic The
fluid does not evaporate. The new
lenses are said to be as good as those
all of glass and can be made much
more quickly and for a fraction of
the price of the all-glass lenses. 1t
is expected that the new lenses will
be especially useful for great tele-
scopes.

The German military authorities IN
southwestern Africa have, since 1904,
developed network of wireless tel
egraph-stations, for communication
between military posts, and 1t is con-
tinually extending. Captive balloons,
or kites, ascending to a height of
ESQ or 800 meters, carry transmit
ting and receiving apparatus, and are
connected by vertical cables with the
stations beneath. The stations are
installed with carriages, running on
four wheels, and furnished with pc
troleum motors of four horsepower,
dynamos, and the other needed APP
paratus. as well as with camping ma
terial and accessories.

The propagation of smell through
tubes where the air is free from cur
rents was found to be very slow,
showing that the fast propagation
ordinarily observed in free space is
due almost entirely to currents. For
example, with ammonia diffusing
through a tube a meter and a half
long, over two hours elapsed before
the smell could be detected at the
other end of the tube. Using differ.
ent lengths of tubing, it was found
that the time required for the diff
fusion of the smell was roughly pro-
portioned to the square of the length
Ammonia and hydrogen sulphide
were used for the above experiments.
With camphor while the rates hori-
zontally and downward were about
the same, the speed upward was
about twice as great. Science

1t was bitterly cold. Gladys Ken
net shivered in the damp of the early
morning as she paced up and down
the empty street. Life was commenc-
ing again after the sleep of the night,
and presently the great wide doors
of the prison would open to let out
into life again some who had been
almost as good as dead.
Gladys stopped and peered down
the courtyard. A little, strange
looking group was beginning to col
lect - ragged women for the most
part-shivering in the damp cold of
the morning, women to whom there
was nothing ftrarge in waiting out
side prison doors!
Something that was more than the
mist struck her with a cold chill. She
was like them - like these wretched
women who waited! She, too, was
waiting for a criminal to come out
she, too-Gladys Kennel, of Grange
lands G, urt, waiting just as they
werei She was plainly dressed, yet
bore an unmistakable impress.
When the dark priso~ gave up its
quota of those who had served their
time there came forth, last of the lit
tie company, a man still youthful,
though the weight of sorrow had
aged his face. He started violently
as the girl hurried to greet him.
vs. lat brings you here?" he a. ked
You ought not to have come-you
ought never to have come. 1t onl

"Eric-Eric, don't say those things
to me-" she cried. ooh, my dearest,
you knew l should watt told YOU
sol told them all so, and l do not
mean to desert you now. And you
can't desert me after I have waited
so, Eric!"
She had forgotten everything but
him. she was looking up wildly into
his white, changed face and her heart
was beating for him as it had three
years ago, before t.,ey had taken him
away.
Eric, you could not believe l
should ever let you go?" she was say
ing. "Oh, you know l believed you
innocent, and always shall"
Yes-yes, know" he answered
slowly; "Dut-oh, my darling, was
found guilty, and it doesn't matter
what anybody believes now. l have

Years just as if 1 had been guilty.
Oh, GLADYS, they called me guilty.
and what does it matter even what
yor believe me now? They have
branded me = shut me up with
thieves and criminals oh, Gladys,
nothing matters but that"
&c frightened her fingers on his
arm.
1T does matter" she said, in low
voice. Eric, dear, it matters every
thin l believe you innocent I
knew you never committed the for
gerry, and I am going to marry you.

years, and it has made 20 difference.

else. But it is you 1 love-you l love
and you l am going to maryland

Artificial respiration in the appar-
emily drowned is usually set up by
regular iexion of the arms of the
PROSTATE patient. Seeking more pos
tive and better action, DR.. Eisen-
menger, of Szaszvaros, Hungary, has
developed the new plan of alternately
raising and depressing the abdomen,
and believes that this is a much
more effective method of resuscita-
ton. His simple apparatus is a kind
of cuirass, which is strapped to the
body and made tight by an edge pad,
with foot bellows for COMPRISING
and exhausting the air. The abdo-
men rises and falls with the varying
pressure in the cuirass, and this
gives not only vigorous inspiration
and expiration but also a gentlq
heart massage, the combined action
tending to give favorable results
even in desperate cases.

In German some interesting ex-
periments have recently been made
in the protection of orchard trees
against night frosts by means of fun
igation. A part of an orchard In
bloom was thus successfully guard
ed against an April frost by the dense
smoke of napthalene But the ex-
pertinent was very expensive, fifty
Kilograms of napthalene being con-
sumed by seven flames in one hour.
Later new preparation of chemicals
was tried, producing comparatively
huge volume of smoke with the ex-
pendture of only two Kilograms of
the material per hour. These trials
are under the direction of an expert
mental gardening association.

sank back in his seat with a frown,
which cleared quickly.
We'll, she won't be such fool as
to think of that fellow now" he said,
sharply. 'She must have had her
lesson, and I was emphatic enough.
A forger! Good heavens, Sydney,
can't understand women. How could
sle make excuses and stick to a man
who had sullied his honor as Eric
Chesterton had done? I'd give Eric
twenty years If l could, just as I'd
give twenty years to any man who
stole in the shameful way he did"
But" - Sydney's voice came
strained and husky-"but who knows
what temptation he may have had?"
he said.
BAH" broke in Sir William. 'I've
heard you say that before, but temp
tation is no excuse for a man. 1t is
no excuse for thieving as Chesterton
did. Gladys calls me hard, but of
all sins man can commit forgery is
to me least worthy of forgiveness. 1t
is the coldest-blooded of crimes"
Sydney gave some orders, and then,
slipping into an overcoat, went out
into the yard where Sir Williams
motor stood. The chauffeur was no.
where to be seen. He would drive
himself. He could not stay-could
not wait.
At last he drew up before Sir Will
Jams house.
ASK Miss Gladys If she will see
me for a few minutes before 1 go,
he said, as he turned into the library
Il shall not be here long"
Miss Gladys is out, SIR" said the
man.
Sydney turned sharply. His face
grew little gray, and the words on
the sheet of note paper in his pocket
grew suddenly clear before his eyes,
Met by girl in navy blue
DO you know where she is?" he
asked sharply.
The man shook his head.
She left no message" he said.
"And when did she go out?" he
asked, huskily.
That I can't say, sir. Before
breakfast, 1 think, SIR"
Sydney turned away. In the Ii
brary before him he fumbled for a
minute with Sir Williams keys.
What need to go through the farce
of examining the safe? There was
nothing there he wanted.

A new respiratory apparatus which
has resulted from late experience in
French mining, consists externally of
rubber bag, which is worn in front
about waist high, and is supported
by strap over the shoulder. The
miner breathes from and into the
bag through mouthpiece. The ex-
hailed gases pass through two tubes
containing grains of oxylith, which
retains the moisture and carbonic
acid and renews the air for breathing
by setting free corresponding guam
tity of oxygen. The circulation
through the bag is sufficient, and ena-
bles the miner to work in suffocating
gases an indefinite time.

A French company has commenced
the manufacture of a product called
hydrolithe. 1t is obtained by the re-
action of metallic calcium on me-
tallic salt. This hydride of calcium
gives, under the action of water, pure
hydrogen, just as calcium carbide
gives acetylene. The industrial pro-
duct gives 1000 liters per kilo.

Evidence is accommodating to show
that the chemical elements in gener-
al are not as fixed and unalterable
as was supposed a few years ago.
In Germany, R. Fabinyi has prepared
chlorine by adding sulphuric acid to
a mixture of potassium perchromate
and sodium chloride, and in another
experiment by adding sodium chlor-
ide drop by drop to potassium per-
chromate mixed with sulphuric acid
The two specimens of chlorine diff
fered materially, although prepared
from the same materials, and neither
showed any impurity on being tested.

PEBBLES IN THE POOL.

But whether we come down crashing,
Or whether we softly strike,
The ending Of all our splashing
is in every case alike.
For whether few waves we're making
Or whether the lake we fill,
In the end the waves cease breaking,
And the lake lies calm and still.

Snake venom, says a British ply
sician, has been shown by recent re-
search to be highly composite SUBJ
proteid bodies, which are variously
affected by heat and fiorescent solu-
tions in sunlight. That it has so lit
tie toxic effect when taken by the
mouth is due to its slight absorption
by the stomach and alteration by the
bile and pancreatic juice.

We all of us make our splashes
As we fall in the lake of life,
And some come down with crashes
Like the sounds of savage STRIFE,
And some of us drop so gently
That the splash is scarcely heard,
And one must take note intently
To see if the lake be stirred.

binary town could look imposing upon
such a plain.
All day the train tolls inward, grow

heartened at the miles which still
stretch ahead. A few herds of goats

NJ RATE BILL AGREEMENT.

 to Get Together.
"n" fipc Lime Provisions Re- main as Before the Obstacle to
 complete Understanding.

washington, June 2S.-The confer ence on the railroad rate bill Wedens- day night resulted in no agreement on that measure.
 The discussion made it clear that the pass provision which is to be per- iected for the action of the committee Thursday morning will follow closely the lines of the original senate amend ment or that subject. It will name certain classes of persons who may re- ceiye passes and exclude all others There is also ground for the pre- diction that the pipe line amendment will be reported exactly as it was in the last conference report; that is. the phrase common carriers will give place to the word railroads
 The effect of this will be to permit pipe lines to transport the product owned by the owners of the pipe line
 Before discussing the two disputed amendments it was decided that ths former agreement as to all yther points in dispute should stand This was the first meeting since the re- jection of the conference report by the senate on account of the pass amendment and the provision relat- ing to pipe lines.

When Maxim, the famous gun in- ventor, placed his gun before a committee of judges, he stated Its carrying power to be much below what he felt sure the gun would ac- complish.
