SMITH DELIVERS
CONTINUED from PAGE u

OF the bill which displeased him the
most was the one which provided that
patients who after treatment showed
appearances of Improvement, should
lie allowed to go to their homes. II
this became law n patient would con.
tinuously be floating between their
homes and their hospital, as 1t was
comparatively easy to bring about an
Improvement. He moved to strike out
that provision. This was seconded by
Lane and carried without objection.
SMITH MOVES TO KILL.
Smith said that the motion he was
about TO make might be misunderstood,
still he felt 1t his duty to move for the
indefinite postponement OF the bill.
The removal of the patients had caused
untold woe, and the matter of segre-
cation had been given the most earnest
consideration, but It had been thor
oughly established that the leprosy
which was prevalent here was deadly
and contagious. although he believed
that there had been few cases OF
cure. The plan of segregation had
been carried out, and the wisdom there
Of had been demonstrated. 1t was a

knew that there was Il great clamor
tor such law, but conditions at the
settlement had been so improved that
the inmates were more carefully cared
for than they could be at home.
bBEST SPEECH OF SESSION.
Smith made splendid address, the
most eloquent of the session, bringing
out strongly the wisdom of meeting
the distress of segregating the few for
the protection of the many, and show
Ing that the greatest hope of the afflict-
ed ones lay in the settlement, where
the best treatment could be had. He
especially deplored the feature of the
bin which made the determining OF the
presence of the disease in suspects u
court matter, whereby publicity would
blight their families with its faint.

THE OCEAN LINER.
Safety Devices That Are Operated

Safety Devices That Are Operated
From the Bridge.
1t is in its safety devices and the
provision made to meet every possible
accident that the ocean liner is perhaps
most remarkable. All the machinery
which may be set in motion in case of
danger is centered on the bridge, and
so perfectly has it been arranged that
the entire vessel could be controlled
II the necessity should arise by means
Of series of levers and push buttons.
About the walls of the wheelhouse are
arranged curious looking indicators,
much the same as one sees behind the
desk Of great hotel. About them are
hung surprising variety Of barome-
ters, thermometers, thermostats, wind
and rain gauges and other less familiar
looking instruments. There are rows
upon rows Of buttons and levers on
every hand, all highly polished and in
the most perfect working order. The
danger Of fire at sea, for instance, is
anticipated by thermostat connected
with the frame filed with little squares
like the hotel Indicator There are
thermometers in every part of the ship
electrically connected with this box
which are constantly on guard. If
fire should start in any part of the
great ship the temperature would of
course rise, and the fact would instant
ly be announced in the wheelhouse by
the ringing of bell, while red light
would flash at the same time in one of
the squares of the indicator. The man
at the wheel could tell at a glance the
exact point of danger.-Francis Arnold
Collins in st. Nicholas.

Aueustu. a China Patron,

Augustus the Strong Of Saxony was
q great lover Of china, and his belief in
the transmutation of metals into gold
was accidentally the cause of the dis
covery of the celebrated Dresden ware.
Any one fortunate enough to be the
possessor of piece of this old china
will invariably find his initials, A. K,
on the back of it. An apothecarys lad
by the name Of Bottinger had, it is
said, composed a tincture that was
supposed to be capable of being trans
formed into gold. So successful an al
chemist was by order of Augustus
placed under lock and key, but, unlike
most prisoners, with a laboratory at
his disposal. This restraint almost de-
prived the lad of his reason, and ac-
cordingly he was removed to Dresden
and allowed a certain liberty. 1t was
here while pursuing his experiments
that Bottinger discovered the Mefssen
porcelain, commonly called Dresden
china, which to Augustus was as well
come as If the youth had been success
ful in transmitting gold, for he had ex-
pend0b large sums In what is known
as the Japan palace. Many workmen
were engaged from Delft to work the
new ware, and In 1910 the manufacture
Of Nielsen began the supply of the de-
n1and which soon became European.

Checking . Cough.

1t is not usually supposed that any
exercise of the will power can be made
efficient in checking a cough or g
sneeze, but celebrated doctor says
sneezing can be stopped by pressing or
the nerve of the lips in the neighbor,
hood of the nose. Coughing may be
stopped by slight pressure in front OF
the ear. This will also stop hiccough-
ing. Pressing very hard on the top of
the mouth is also a means of stopping
coughing, and many say the will alone
has immense power. There are various
other affections associated with breath
ing, which can be stopped by the same
mechanism that stops the hearts ac-
ton. In spasm of the CLOTHS, which is
terrible thing in children, and also in
whooping cough, 1t is possible to afford
relief by throwing cold water on the
feet or by tickling the soles of the feet,
which produces laughter and at the
same time arrests the spasm almost at
once

A RAZOR's EDGE.
Results That Come From strOpDAnH
and Long Use.

Results That Come From StrODDlnH
and Long Use.
Very thin is the edge of a razor blade
Its thickness has been estimated ut
about one half millionth of an inch.
A writer says Of this wonderfully thin
bit Of steel, when seen under a power
full microscope: 1.-THE extreme edge of
the section is distinctly bent to one
side. This Is nearly always seen In
razor edges. The actual bend repre-
sents the effect Of the last stroke on
the strop which this blade has received.
Now, this bending of the metal quite
near the edge, minute as it is, has some
very important practical consequences.
II the razor be used in such a way
that the bend is toward the skin there
will be tendency for the edge itself
to burrow downward into the skin, in
stead Of sliding easily over the surface
and merely cutting away the project
ing hairs. If, on the other hand, the
blade be applied to the face in such q
way that the bend Of the edge is away
from the skin the edge will slide much
more smoothly, with less tendency to
act upon the hairs in slightly upward
direction and thus tend to pull them
tight whild cutting. The direction Of
the bend Of the edge can be regulated
by the last few strokes on the strop.
"This minute amount of bending I'M
dergone by the metal near the edge Of
a razor blade has another practical re-
suit. We all know that piece of wire
which will quite easily stand being
bent double will be broken If it be bent
backward and forward many times.
What really takes place Is that the
metal, which was strong and ductile
to begin with, Is gradually made hard
and brittle and then finally breaks of.
Now, the metal near the edge of q
razor Is being subjected to very similar
treatment. Every turn on the strop
reverses the direction of the bend near
the edge. and, although the amount Of
bending is too slight ever to bring
about actual breakage of such an
elastic metal as hardened steel, it is
yet sufficient to bring about a change
in the metal which renders It less
elastic and able to stand the strain.
This is why a razor which has been
used long ceases to cut well or to hold
a good edge.
''Now 1t has been discovered that
steel which has lost its proper elastic
qualities by such process of fatigue
as 1t is called, is capable of recovering
Its good qualities under favorable cir
cumstances. 1t will recover in this
way If left at rest, though this is a
comparatively slow process, which ex-
plains the fact that a tool which has
become useless through continued use
will be as good as ever after prolong-
ed rest. But recovery will take place
much more rapidly If the steel be
warmed, SO that few minutes expo
sure to the temperature OF boiling wa
ter will bring about recovery to an ex-
tent that would have required several
days rest at the ordinary tempera-
lures. This fact explains the advantage
to be. derived from the familiar prac-
tee Of tsteaming' a razor before use."

A Queer Fnct Abou, y,.,o,

In the eye itself certain things may
go on which give us wrong sensations
which, although not truly Illusions, are
very much like them. Thus, when we
suddenly strike our heads or faces
against something in the dark we SCI
"stars," or bright sparks, which we
know are not real lights, though they
are quite as bright and sparkling as II
they were. When we close one eye and
look straight ahead at some word or let
ter in the middle of this page, for ex.
ample, we seem to see not only the
thing we are looking at, but every.
thing else Immediately about 1t and
for long way on each side. But the
truth is there is a large round spot
somewhere near the point at which
we are looking in which we see moth
ing. Curiously enough, the existence
Of this blind spot was not discovered
by accident, and nobody every sus-
pected it until Mariotte reasoned from
the construction of the eyeball that 1t
must exist and proceeded to find 1t.

POTATOES IN FRANCE.
Parmentier's Willy Plan to XIII tn.
Prejudice Against Them.

Parmentier's Willy Plan to XIII the
Prejudice Against Them.
The way in which Parmentier Gre
ated demand for potatoes in France
would have done credit to the widest
of willy tradesmen. Nothing would at
first induce the simple minded peas
ants to cultivate the popular tuber.
They would not listen to lectures on
its virtues nor accept seed potatoes
free Of cost for planting.
Parmentier therefore decided to get
the better Of their prejudice by artifice
and with this object leased as much
land as he could round Paris and plant
ed it with potatoes. Just before the
ripening of the crop he posted watch
ers round the fields and issued notices
that all persons stealing potatoes
would be severely punished, the crop
being intended for the tables of the
king and mobiles.
Such delIcacies, continued the notice,
were too good for ignorant peasants,
who would touch them at their peril.
OF course watch was only kept during
the day, and at night the fields were
robbed right and left by the peasants,
who were curious to taste the strange
vegetable and jealous that it should be
reserved for their betters.
AS soon as they had tasted the sue
culent tubers the pilferers were only
too anxious to plant as many as they
could possibly purchase, the willy Par

her throat. She took Grierson's nerve

happily.
