Gases Penetrate Glass.

With liquid air performing feats ana doing jobs for the scientific and ln- dustrial worlds, gaseous glass is per haps not amazing. Glass, the renown- ed experimentalist, M. Berthelot, has proved permeable to gases at hlgh temperature. At temperatures below its melting point glass has been as- sumed impenetrable by oxygen, nitro gen and carbon monoxide and dioxide, but between $50 and 800 Centigrade glass tubing has shown Itself permea- ble. This passage of gases through slightly softened glass is compared to the gaseous exchanges taking place at the ordinary temperatures through the walls of India rubber tubing and the importance is emphasized of, this prop erty of glass hitherto unsuspected in many chemical and physical investiga- tious at high temperature.

JAPANESE EXHIBIT WAR RELICS

Tokyo now has the largest collection
world, says L. W. Clement. the special
correspondent of the Chicago News at
Tokyo. Not even that in the square Of
the kremlin at Moscow. dating from
the invasion Of Russia by Napoleon,
can compare with it either in size or
interest. The place where the spoils
captured in the war with Russia are
kept is large park just below the i'm
perial palace and outside the Nijubashi
and Sakashita gate The ground has
been turned into "A gigantic field of tro-
plies, consisting of guns of large and
small caliber. rifles by the thousands,
shot cases. ammunition trains and vari-
Gus other kinds of military supplies.
The sight as one enters by the new
Hibiya boulevard is thus described in
one of the local papers by japanese
writer:
within the stone faced EN- bankment
of the moat the sight Is at once war
like. On the right is ii park of eighty
five three-inch quick firing field guns,
with 5000 stands of rifles at the rear.
On the left is another row of twenty
four cannon Of seventeen centimeter
caliber, with shoals Of rifle chests for
the background. Then come fifty-seven
eighteen-cenrimeter heavy field guns on
the right and seventy-seven forty-sev-
en-millmeter guns. So on down the
broad way and through the crossways
and all round the borders OF the extern
siye plots of ground it is all a grand
cOncOuFSe of death dealing IypaDonS I'm
terspersed by intelligence wagons. tele-
graphic apparatus and even a captured
balloon. The place of honor is given to
the seven stands Of twenty-three cent?
meter cannon mounted in a row just
outside the Nijubashi, and across the
road in front of them lie in awful ST.
lence thirteen mOnsters-eleven fifteen
centimeter. one twelve centimeter and
one tWenty-four centimeter cannon
while behind the seven cannon first
mentioned is veritable bazaar OF
swords and lanceS.

KANSAS ASKS
OUTSIDE AID

Kansas Is sending out the strongest
appeal of her history for men TO work
in the harvest fields, according to a
special dispatch from Topeka, Kan,
to the New York Herald. The difficult
ties OF the last few years to get enough
help to garner the wheat before 1t be-
comes dead ripe and skaters i'll the
If the advance signs are any token Of
what is to come. At least $4,000 more
men than are now in sight will be
needed, and if need be there will be
resort TO desperate measures to draft
men into the service behind the self
binders. Already move to empty
the jails of small offenders has been
made.
Competition this year for labor is
stronger than ever before. There seems
to be no surplus of idle men anywhere
Appeals have been addressed to the
employment agencies of Chicago, St.
Louis and other large western indus
trial centers. The answer has come
back in almost every instance that 1t
is impossible to fill the orders. Fac
tories are running at full capacity all
over the country. Building operation
are going on on a scale exceeding any
thing of the kind In past years. These
activities, in addition to the many pub
lie improvements that are going on,
have absorbed the bulk OF the labor of
the country, skilled and unskilIed
One OF the heaviest drafts for men
comes from the railroads in the north
west. In that region extensive road
building is going on, and with all the
efforts at colonization not enough men
have been obtained to make the prog
ress desired by the railroad manage
ment. To supply the deficiency for the
railroads alone effort is making to di-
vert the tide of immigration from New
York to the gulf ports. Several weeks
ago it was announced that $4,000 more
men could be acceptably used in the
southwest. Every demand from that
source increases the anxiety and woes
of the western wheat producers
Farmers were comforting themselves
prior to the settlement of the bitumi-
nous coal strike in western states with
the satisfying belief that they would
be able to draw on this line of industry
for men to help them temporarily in
the fields. The coal strike is now set
tied, the men have returned to work in
the mines and that hope has vanished.
Kansas is looking elsewhere for assist
ance.

CANDLE AS BIG AS A MAN.
Wife offered 1t to Patron Saint For
Husbands Recovery.

Rassalle Dellacroce, native of Sci
acco, Sicily, was taken i'll with rheu-
matism in his home in New York city
year ago. says the New York World.
His wife, Carmelo. prayed daily to her
patron saint. st. Calogeri. and at last
vowed to offer the largest candle ever
manufactured should her husband re-
cover. He moved to Tampa, Fla, and
there regained his health. BY Mrs.
Dellacroce's order the candle was re-
Gently shipped from u New York store
to Tampa.
Mrs. Dellacroce had vowed that the
candle should weigh as much as her
husband, and the one she ordered
weighed 1922 pounds. 1t was fifteen
feet high, eighteen inches in diameter
at the base and twelve inches at the
top. Upon it was painted a picture of
the Madonna of the Chair.
The candle cost $3.50, and. according
to the manufacturers, it will burn for
year and a half 1t was recently

Carnegie Scientist Aids In Efforts to
Develop Superior Variety.
Four thousand different varieties of
potatoes We're recently planted on the
farm of Luther Burbank, the horticul-
turist. at Santa Rosa. Cal, constituting
part of 1900 species of the tuber fami-
ly with which Burbank will experiment
this year in his plans to give to the
world another new potato. says a San
ia Rosa dispatch.
The potato planting was done by DR..
Shull, one of the Carnegie institute
scientists, who is at Santa Rosa making
data for a treatise that is to be pre-
scented to the world as correct under
standing. scientifically, of Burbanks
work. The potatoes planted and those
that are to be planted are of all sorts
and sizes, colors and conditions. From
these thousands of potatoes the new
potato is TO come.
Burbank desires that the new potato
shall be more prolific. that its yield
shall be- practically impervious to dis
ease and uniform I'm size.

PILLSBURY, LATE CHESS CHAMPION

against him, the score being i to 2.
The second rubber was not finished,
each winning point.
A wonderful exhibition was once CIV
en- at the Brooklyn Chess club by Mr..
Pillsbury. In the afternoon he repeat
ed the moves Of four games which he
had played blindfolded in exhibitions
throughout the country. The moves
were then shown on four large chess
boards for the benefit of The onlOOkers,
among whom was the veteran SteinitZ.
Pillsbury accomplished this clever feat
without making any errors. On the
first board was shown q Ruy Lopez,
won by Pillsbury at Lincoln, Neb.; on
the second board a French defense. on
the third board a Philidor's defense
and on the last board a Ruy Lopez in
which the consulting adversaries had
selected the SteinitZ defense TO the
Ruy Lopez OF these games the one on
the third board proved the most inter
esting. as there appeared wonderful
combinations involving lot of sacri-
fees.
The champion next playeSa game OF
checkers, blindfoIded. against V. L.
Connell, a young expert Of Brooklyn.
Pillsbury won. He concluded with an
illustration of his remarkable power of
memory. He asked the audience to
write on thirty slips thirty different
words. After they had been read out
they were distributed among the audi
ence. Then Pillsbury asked some one
TO call out the number or the word. and
In each instance he supplied either the
word or the number
In the evening twenty-four members
and friends Of the club sat down to
participate In a blindfolded exhibition
given by the champion OH twelve
boards. Four players who went at
the master single handed, four parties
consisting of two players in each and
four parties consisting of three in each
made up the team. The performance
began at about 8 o'clock and was con-
Guided after six hours and fifty-five
minutes of play, with the result that
and drew two. He made 434 moves.
For a long time Pillsbury mystified
the world by winning from all corners
IN the guise Of "Ajee5,' the Turkish
automa ton. In the Eden Musee at New
York. Experts from all parts Of the
world went down to defeat before him.
and they marveled how a mere ma
chine could so triumph over the human
brain, says the New York World.
Aside from all this. Pillsbury was

A party of American mining engi-
neers in Mexico have arranged to take
photographs by sunlight on June 81 at
the bottom of a 1000 feet deep shaft
at Sombrerete, state of Zacatecas, says
the New York Sun. The town is off the
tropic of Cancer. and at meridian on
June 81 the suns rays fall vertically,
so that the mine shafts are illuminat-
ed to the lowest depths. The illumina-
ton lasts about three minutes, the light
entering a hole in the roof of the head
house and making the shafts so light
that a person standing over the shaft
can discern small objects on the floor
Of the 1000 foot shafts. At the sum-
mer solstice the light comes suddenly,
shining straight down the shafts, CIV
ing rainbow effects TO the squirting
waters of the mine leaks and paling
the electric lamps. In three minutes
the sunlight disappears for a year.
