A singular condition, known as
congenital word blindness, has been
brought to notice by ophthalmic sur
geons within the last few years. Its
victims have great difficulty in re-
cognizing printed words or learning
to Iead, and a recent inquiry IN
London elementary schools has led
DR.. G. j. Thomas to conclude that
about one person in 1000 is affected
to considerable degree. The trou-
BILE, most common in the lower
classes, occurs much more often in
boys than girls. Last year bright
boy of eleven could only make out a
few words of three letters with diff
Guilty, although he had been in a
special class four years, and could
read Arabic numerals, work out pro-
Ulems IN arithmetic, and recognize
many words when spelled aloud. In
another case. really brilliant child
became an excellent surgeon, getting
his knowledge at lectures and classes,
with practically no reading. The
initial difficulty is having so many
letters to remember, with so many
variations in sound, and for treating
the word blind an English teacher
has devised a SPECIAL series of read
ing books, with simplified and phone
tic spelling until the pupil is con-
siderably advanced.
For an artificial rubber a German
authority recommends mixing an
infusion of Carragheen moss with
starch, and drying on slight oiled
metal plate. When the transparent
sheet produced is broken up, it
softens III cold water, and oD sub
sequent heating it forms thick
gummy substance, which may be
used for thlckening paint or for many
of the purposes of rubber.

One of the queeIest of odd creatures
is the mud-skipper or jumping fish Of
the large rivers of India and the
neighboring sea-coasts. At ebb tide
these little fishes leave the water tc
hunt for tiny crabs, flies, etc., and
their strong pectoral and ventral fins,
aided by their tail, enable them to
move about easily and to climo upon
trees, grass and leaves. With theil
huge eyes, seeming to project far oui
of the sockets, they can see as well
on the land as IN the water. They
progress in short, quick leaps, effect
ed by sharply bending the rear thiro
of the body to the left and suddenly
strengthening it. In color they are
usually light brown with dark bands
though they sometimes appear llgh

Lead WOOL, a new British product
for packing water pipes, consists of
very small ribbons of lead, cut by
patented machinery in lengths of
three feet. Hemp or yarn is first
pressed into the socket, and then the
strand of lead wool is twisted in and
we'll cauIked at each turn uutil the
whole space is tightly packed with
mass of lead. 1t is claimed that the

ring in the space between the orbits
of Mars and Jupiter. One discovered
on Feb. %, of this year, however, has
a unique interest in having been
proven to be beyond Jupiter, its
main distance from the sun being 5. .25
to Jupiter's $50, while its aphelion
distance = 6, Isl = exceeds that of
Jupiter by nearly the earth's dis
tance from the sun.
OF 80 accidents from electric shocks
in Switzerland last year, 81 we're
fatal, while Austria had but 6 fatal
tiles in 56 cases. A fifth of the
accident were from currents of $50
volts or less, and mason was killed
by a 120 volt three wire supply,
while in another case shock from
26, QUO volts did not kill. Of Is
attempts at resuscltation, only one
was successful.
Asbestos porcelain, the new mater
ial of Garros, European chemist,
is claimed to have the desirable pro-
perties of true porcelain and certain
advantages in addition. AS asbestos
fibers are very thin, with diameters
between 1-1O0. 900 and 1-2O0, 600 of an
inch. they can be crushed to an OK
ceedingly fine powder; this is made
into a paste with water, and after
repeated kneadings the mass is poured
into molds. When the objects thus
shaped are heated in cIucible to
100 degrees C., transparent product
like ordinary porcelain is obtained.
If the powder has been washed with
sulphuIic acid, porous asbestos
porcelain of pale yellowish or white
color results when the nodded articles
are kept for Is hours at 1900 degrees
q.
A continuous change in attitudes in
mountainous regions, especially in
the Swiss and Austrian Alps, has
been noted by M. de Varigny, as
Swiss geologist. Many villages IN
the canton VaIais and in the Bernese
Oberland have been raised or lowered
from II to 30 feet in. the last six
years, and the SUBMITS of mountains
have undergone changes quite as
great. The numerous slight earth
quakes are suspected of being the
chief cause of the phenomenon, or at
least they accompany it, while they
produce avalanches in number now
| increasing.
An electrical divining rod, claimed
| to operate more certainly and scien-
tlficalIy than the ancient and dis
honored twig, has been devised by
Adolph Schmid, Swiss engineer. 1t
seems to consist essentially of glass
covered box enclosing a coil of in
| sulated wire in which slightly
magnetized needle is free to rotate
over a graduated dial. When the
apparatus is placed over subterranean
water, with the axis of the coil in the
magnetic meridian, the needle, it is
asserted, oscilIates more or less
rapidly for Ito 10 and even up to so
l.. degrees.
