The number of impressions which

is startling. Psychologists have COM

The Latest Denth Test.


Although 1t Is asserted by nearly ey.
cry practlcing physician that the pos
sib!lity Of being buried alive can only
occur where medical examination has
not been made, an eminent German
physician and surgeon states that a
stronger. absolutely reliable guaranty
for discerning actual death Is still de-
manded. and the demand has been met
by the discovery Of a new medium for
ascertaining death with perfect GER
tainty. This new death test consists
In injecting a solution Of fuorescine
deep into the tissues. II circulation
exists, the skin and mucous mem
branes become very yellow. and the
eyes assume the color Of emeralds: if
the circulation has ceased, none Of
these results occur. The discoyerer
proposes that at least two hours before
the body Is placed In a coffin such an
Injection with fuorescine be made. II
life Is not yet extinct, the injection
does no harm, and the coloring within
a short time entirely disappears with
out the slightest injury to the patient.

WHY METALS FLOAT.
scaentist Concludes That IL In Duo to
n Filn, of AIR.

Scientist Concludes That 1t In Duo to
Ftlna OF Air.
1t Is remarkable fact that if a
small rod Of iron--a straight piece of
wire, for instance--is creased. 1t can
be made to float on water. The grease
apparently prevents the breaking Of
the surface Of the water, and thtA iron
lies Graded in slight depression or
trough.
Recently one of the government sci
entists at Washington. experimenting
with rods and rings of iron. tin. cop
per. brass, platinum, aluminium, Ger
man silver, ETC.. found that all metals
even the densest. will float on water
when their surfaces are chemically
clean. A perfectly clean piece of cop
per or platinum wire, for example,
forms trough for itself on the surface
Of the water. just as IL 1t was creased
The Same Is true OF a small rod of
glass.
The official In question believes the
floating Is due to a film of air con-
densed on the surface Of the glass or
metal. because II the rod is heated to
redness and as soon as 1t cools 10
placed on water 1t will sink, but IL II
Is exposed to the air for short time

1t Is said that a remarkable gun has

nought. The weapon. which Is built
on the wire wound principle, weighs
f1fty-eight tons and will throw pro-
jectile Of $50 pounds. 1t may be de-
scribed as a development of the twelve
inch gun, weapon Of forty-five tons,
firing projectile that would penetrate
twenty -four inches of wrought iron at
the muzzle while the former will be
capable of perforating fifty-one inches.
More significant, however, is the fact
that the new weapon has an effective
range of twelve miles and that it's car
rying power extends to rearly $1,000
yards. 1t is calculated that the gun
would damage at distance of no less
than twelve miles.
