Cracked Dishes.

The housewife must now prepare to
sacrifice all her broken and cracked
chnaware, as scientists have discover
ed that such damaged pieces reek with
disease breeding bacteria. Dr. George
w Stiles, meteorological chemist, of
Washington, ID. C., had charge of tests
which revealed startling facts. In sew
eral dozen cracked mugs, plates and
saucers, taken at random from restaur-
ants and cafes Of hotels, DIR. Stiles
discovered 20 distinct species of or
ganisms, ranging in number from ass
to I4,58e,ooo to every square inch
Nearly all the bacteria belonged to the
bacius coli family, which is blamed for
many inhammatory diseases, including
appendicitis DIR. Stiles says: at
seems highly desirable to eliminate the
use of cracked dishes for the reception
of food materials and to make an ap-
peal for more careful observation of
well known hyglenic measures and to
prevent our food from unnecessary and
undesirable contamination" What
DIR. Stiles says will carry much weight,
as il seems reasonable that his theory
Is correct But whether his advice TO
discard cracked dishes will be gener.
ally followed is doubtful.

A COMETS TAIL.
Tho Way This Filmy Dust Train 10
Toned About by the Sun,

Tossed About by the Sun.
No bridal veil was ever so filmy as a

OF that wonderful appendage are out

BY means of the speetroscope we
have magically transported this fairy
plume to our laboratories and have
discovered that 1t Is akin to the blue
fame Of our gas stoves; for the gas
tresses Of comet both consist Of COM
binations Of hydrogen and carbon, APP
propriately called by chemists hydro
carbons."
When It first appears in the heavens,
far removed from the sun, comet is
a tailless blotch Of light
As comet swims on toward the
sun the hydrocarbons Of the tail split
up under the Increasing heat into n.y.
drogen gas and hydrocarbons OF a
higher boiling point. With still
closer approach to the sun, these more
resistant hydrocarbons eventually yield
to the increasing heat and are decom.
posed In the form Of SCOT
Interplanetary space Is airless; hence
the SCOT cannot burn. 1t must pursue
the comet In the form of dust train.
The particles constituting that train
are small enough to be toyed with b3
the pressure Of sunlight.
No matter where the comet may be
In its orbit, whether 1t has Just entered
the solar system or is speeding away.
that plume Is inevitably tossed away
from the sun, just as II mighty wind
were blowing It from the central lu-
minary.

THE HlNDOo FAkIR.
His Patience and Skill In the Bag and
Spear Trick.


Spear Trick.
The feat known as the bag and spear
trick has been considered one of the
greatest of the Hindoo mugician's art
In this trick, says writer, the Hindoo
fakir has his assistant get into sack,
the mouth of which he firmly secures,
and then unceremoniously hurls his
helpless victim to the ground. With
out sign of warning the fakir drives
his spear through the center Of the
bag
After withdrawing his weapon, upon
the point Of which no blood stain ap-
pears. the fakir stands and gazes
dreamily over the heads Of the specta-
tors. The body within the bag fioun-
ders about as IL In mortal agony. At
last. when the occupant is apparently
dead. the fakir again plunges his spear
into the motionless body. The same
antics are repeated. Then the fakir
releases his attendant from the bag,
and he steps out without scratch
upon his body.
Although the trick is performed with
all the carelessness imaginable, 1t calls
for more patience, skill and exactness
than any Of the so called black art
achievements. From the time the at
tendant enters the bag both fakir and
assistant count every breath they take.
When a stated number Of breaths have
been taken the fakir makes his thrust
and the occupant In the bag is pre-
pared to avoid It. Then the count be-
gins again, and at the proper time the
spear Is driven through the bag
second time. In order to evade the
spear and make 1t appear to pass
through his body the assistant doubles
up In as small form as possible. His
legs are drawn up close, with the chin
resting upon the knees and the arms
folded round the lower limbs across
the shins. When In this position, at
the fiftieth breath, the spear passes
under the attendants arms between
the abdomen and the thighs.
The slightest miscalculation by either |
The fakir or his assistant would mean |
a serious II not a mortal wound for |
one and an unheard Of disgrace for the |
other.
That fakir and attendant are able so |
to train themselves to breathe in per-
feet unison while giving one of these
when the slightest varia-
ton In time by either wou1 be fatal,
Is certainly wonderful.
