1t is reported that student of the
ElectrOTechniCal Institute of st. Pet
ersburg named Frendinberg has invent
ed an apparatus for exploding mines
by wireless telegraphy. Numerous ex-
periments already made are said to
have proved remarkably successful.
The apparatus is also claimed to be
suited for directing Whitehead tor
pedoes at long ranges.
At a recent meeting of the Royal
Society of Canada, Sir James Grant,
NJ, d., presented a paper on the neu-
rons and cells of the brains in their
relation to the faculty of memory, and,
after stating that, as with the other
tissues of the body, so with the cells
of the brain, evidence of Iessening
power and activity appears with the
passage of years, he added the very in
teresting statement that the line Of
present investigation demonstrates that
the electrical current through the
brain rotates its molecules to such a
degree as to produce q most notable
physiological response in the direction
of improved memory.
Everybody knows that the water of
the Great Salt Lake is very dense as
well as very salt but many will be
surprised to learn that its density
varies to 4 remarkable degree from
time to time. For instance, in 1885 the
density was 1.1225, and the percentage
by weight of solid constituents was
1916; in 1903 the density had in
creased to 1,2206, the greatest ever re-
corded, and the percentage of solids
to 2II21; in 1907 the density had di-
minished to 1.1S10, and the percentage
of solids to 22,920. Of the solids in
1907. 1867 per cent was chlorin 7.5S
per cent sodium, 1853 per cent sui
phate rad cal, 0.72 per cent potassium,
O.45 per cent magnesium, and O.O4 per
cent calcium.
The famous Neanderthal skull found
in Switzerland in 1856, and other sim
liar skulls and parts of skulls found
elsewhere in Europe. have been re-
garded as representing distinct
species of the human race. TO which
the name Homo Prim: genius has been
given. Prof. w. J. Sollas undertakes
TO show that there are no grounds
whatever for regarding the Neander
thai type Of man as a separate species.
On the contrary, he thinks that 1.-The
Neanderthal race. the most remote
from US in time of which we have any
knowledge, and the Australian. the
most remote from US in space. probably
represent divergent branches of the
same original stock" Doctor Lydekker
remarks that this conclusion of Prof.
Sollas' accordS with the modern view
that the native Australians are low
grade members of the Caucasian. or
European stock, instead of, as at one
time supposed, half-bred oceanic ne
groes. The Veddahs of CeyIon and
the Toalas of Celebes apparently mark
their line of march from the west TO
east"

DR.. POWERS CLASHES
WITH SECRETARY
OFFICIALS PASS WARM WORDS IN
HEALTH OFFICE
Trouble Grows Out Of Amendments to
Restaurant Inspection Law
Which Affect Saloon
Free Lunches

Health officer Luther NJ. Powers and
Secretary Hugh M. Love of the board
of health clashed violently yesterday
afternoon and the trouble has been re-
ferred to Mayor Harper for adjust
ment.
Alleged manipulation in connection
with the revised restaurant inspection
ordinance started the row.
The new law puts free lunch in sa-
looms within the Jurisdiction of the in
spectors, and it was in connection with
the amendments that bad blood arose.
Love has been regarded as a friend
of Harry Wright, the assistant res
taurant inspector recently dropped, and
by espousing Wright's cause aroused
the opposition of Restaurant Inspector
Nicholas Schwegel. Love and SchwegeI
discussed discussed the amendments,
and in the course of the talk Schwegel
rebuked Love for interfering with the
new legislation.
Sehwegel mentioned the difficulty to
DIR. Powers, who Immediately took
Love to task, roundly scoring him for
intimating that he (Powers) had been
juggling with the laws phraseology.
what are you here for-to help or
hinder the work of this department. 2''
said DR.. Powers sharply, several in
spectors looking on in amazement.
Then, as anger got the better of the
veteran head of the department, he
told Secretary Love that If he would
step outside he would settle matters
in a jiffy. Love remained behind the
office screened railing and peacemalS-
ers induced DIR. Powers to step up
stairs into his private office.
There a little later hostilities were
renewed, DR.. Powers insisting that
Love had been insubordinate.
The significance of the trouble is that
certain saloon and restaurant interests
have sought to introduce politics into
the inspection department, to demor-
alize the work. and developments may
be surprising.
Secretary Love declined to discuss
the trouble, saying DR.. Powers had
labored under a misapprehension.
