TEMPERATURE OF THE BRAIN

Some interesting experiments have
lately been made by an eminent scientist
at Washington on the temperature OF the
brain. It is a common observation that
during prolonged mental exercise or ex-
citement the head becomes hotter, but
the scientist in question has applied very
delicate measuring apparatus to ascertain
the effect upon the brain temperature
not merely of conscious mental effort, but
of various stimulants and irritante.
The sensitivenees of the brain may be
judged from the fact that during pro-
found sleep a noise produced within the
hearing of the sleeper. although not loud
enough to cause an awakening, makes q
perceptibIe rise in temperature.
The administration of cocaine was OBJ.
served to cause rise of more than se"en
degrees in the brain temperature. One
of the effects of opium appears to be to
produce fall in the temperature of the
brain before any of the other organs oi
the bsdy are similarly affected, and, in
deed, while they are not yet rising i'll
temperature.
Great mental activity produces a con-
dition of the blood which appears to be
poisonous, especially to the muscular
system.

ABOUT SODA WATER

f
We all like soda water, but perhaps
not aiIof us know that there ia no soda
in il notwithstanding its name. Il is
called 30 because ii used 10 be made
with sods, but now, as served from the
fountains, it is nothing bat plain water
charged with carbonic acid gas, as many
persons call il. That term. however,
is pathological, for carbonic acid 10 gas,
and there is no reason why that word
should be added to the name. The gas
is produced, for soda water purposes,
usually by pouring weak solution Of
snlphuric acid over marble dust.
The coda fountains are charged by
pumping carbonic acid into wster held
in a strong, air-tight vessel, from which
the fountains are subsequently filed.
These filled fountains are sent around
to various places and are put into use
by means of screw connection with the
marble case that stands on the sellers
counter.
But soda water, as 1t is called, though
much liked by many persons just as it
is drawn from the fountain, would not
be so popular were it not for the deli.
cioGs sirups, creams, ETC., with which
it is mixed when served A little sirup
perhaps with cream, is put into glass
and the stream OF water charged with
carhonic acid turned on. Immediately
you see rich foam in the glass, which
lasts in proportion to the heaviness of
the sirup.
The foam is caused by the violent
agitation made by the gas as it enters
the glass. It separates the particles OF
water and fills them out into little bub-
bles, just as the air filled bubbles that
make foam are formed by the agitation
of the water of the breakers at the sea-
shore. Chicago NeGs.

GOT THINGS MIXED

1t wasn't the editor who got things
mixed, but the printers devil who was
going through his first experience in
making up forms. The paper was late
and the boy got the galleys mixed. The
first part of the obituary notice of a pc
cunious citizen had been dumped in the
forms, and the next handful of type came
off galley describing recent fire. 1t
read like this: "The pail bearers lowered
the body into the grave and as it was
consigned to the flames there were few if
any regrets, for the old wreck had been
an eyesore to the town for years. OF
course there was individual loss, but that
was fully covered by insurance.
The widow thinks the editor wrote the
obituary that way because the lamented
partner OF her joys and sorrows owed him
two years subscription.

CHOICE or TREES BY LIGHTNING

Now that the season Of thunder storms
approaches, this long-debated subject as.
sumes fresh interest. 1t has been re-
discussed by DR.. A. w. Borthwick in
''Notes from the Royal Botanic Garden
OF Edinburgh" who concludes that no
tree is immune, and that lightning will
strike one species quite as readily as
another. In opposition, to the popular
belief that ''it is quite safe to stand under
a beech, while the danger undef>a res.
inous tree or an oak is, respectively,
Is or 20 times as great" DIR. Borthwick
says that the beech is struck quite as
frequently as any other tree. Apparently
the taller trees in any neighborhood are
the ones most liable to be struck.

KEEP THE FLIES OUT

The housekeeper is quite right in deny
ing hospitality to the fly.
The house fly is guilty of bringing many
deadly diseases into homes, for it will be
noticed that they have habit OF settling
on the skins, mouths aud nostrils of sick
people, IN this way becoming loaded up
with disease germs. Afterwards they
settle on your sugar basin, creep into
cream and milk jugs, deposit germs on
the butter, and thus communicate typhoid
and divers diseases to entire households.
Every housekeeper should appoint her
self special sanitary inspector to her own
home, cultivate a regular detectives
talent for detecting odors from drains and
other places about the home, and impress
upon the servants the necessity # screen
ing every sort OF food from contamination
by flies.

FOR PAIRING ORANGES

The varying thickness of the skin has
been the barrier in the way Of the per-
lection OF machine for pairing oranges,
but this has been overcome and device
has been recently designed by which
this is accomplished. Oranges are now
used very extensively in the preparation
Of summer beverages, and, as the skins
have commercial value, it is desirable
to save this part OF the fruit. The ma
chine grips the fruit at opposite points
and holds it while iE is revolyed, and
knife passes around it in the same
manner as the familiar apple parer. The
knife is adjustable to meet the demands
OF the different qualities Of fruit.

the doctor hesitated a moment
before he continued, my time is
very precious. John Elliott nao
hardly moved a muscle for the
five minutes preceding these
words. Through the closed door
of the private office had come
the buzz of the conversation OF
the waiting patients. DR.. Cham-
pion grew restless.
Elliott fumbled in his walstcoat
for the fee; again the demon OF
grim humor caused a sickly smile
to play around the corners OF his
mouth. He grasped the doctors
hand with nervous haste, half
afraid as he did so that he might
break out into an idiot!c laugh
and leaving the purchase money
of his death sentence in the soft
cool palm he had pressed, he
hurried out.
It was the morning of the glor-
ious Fourth of July. The jubi'
liant noise of an occasional burst
ing cracker sounded in the air.
A hot wind swept the crowd on
the street, parching their lips
and tanning their cheeks. Elliott
stumbled along with his mind
all befogged-a strange, queer
pain at his heart. His thoughts
refused to be steady. Arrived
at the door of his club house
he stopped and hesitated a mo-
ment. The familiar surround
ings seemed to somewhat arouse
him from his trance, and he
muttered quite audibly: Yes
I'll write her. 1t will be fairer
for her and safer for me-tc
write her.
Then he went in.

Standing at one of the club
house windows, John Elliott was
looking down at the surging
crowd on the street below. For
a brief space Of time the motley
throng would hold his attention,
and then his mind would revert
back to the phrase, "What is
the use to live the year? ?" But
John Elliott was no coward ; he
refused to admit that he feared
a year Of suffering, SO each time
he drove the thought away.
AS he stood thus, with his
thoughts shifting from one thing
to another, there came to him
this "Why not leave this place

seen her as she sat with John
EAliott's letter lying in her lap,
they would have been astonished
beyond recovery. Her usually
stern gray eyes we're quite soft
enough now indeed, from out
their depths sprang a SURPRISING
tenderness and pity.
Handsome rather than sweet
was the description usually given
her mouth; but now its firm lines
were all melted, and the pathetic
culver of her lower lip, as she
slowly raised and kissed her
lovers letter, cast around its
graceful curves an expression of
wondrous sweetness.
AS she sat there, allowing
many a tear to gain its freedom,
she recalled how often he had
urged an early marriage, but
she had clung to her freedom
and coolly and persistently in
sisted on delay until their en-
gagement time had dragged it.

well, possible she chided herself
too much: We usually do when
the black cloud of calamity hangs
its shadow around us.
But not long did she sit brood

When the time for action came
she was always ready for it.
Going over to her desk she sat
down and for an hour poured out
her hearts sympathy, sorrow
and love. Told him she spurned
his proffered release-begged fol
just this one year of being truly
all his own.
Had John Elliott seen her now
as she was, all ablaze with the
truest, tenderest and noblest
emotions, he would hardly have
recognized the girl he had loved
SO long. No more was she cold
Indifferent, naughty. No; she
was a new creature, fred and
irresistably moved by an over
whslming passion.
Her letter sealed, it was placed
in the hands of a messenger will

She went out under the tree:
and let the hot air fan her cheek!

SHERMAN TALKS ON WAR.
Candidate Addresses the Veterans of
 Oneida County, NY.


 Utica, \. Y., Aug. 2S.-The eleventh annual reunion of the Oneida County Veterans association. held at Summit park, was attended by several hundred veterans of the civil war. State De partment Commander ". H. Daniels of 0gdensburg presided and introduced the speakers-James s. sherman. the Republican vice presidential candidate: Congressman Charles L. Knapp of Lowville and NJ. E. Driscoll of Syra- cuse. Mayor Wheeler and Assembly, man Hart of Utica.
 Mir. Sherman's speech was a tribute to the veterans of the civil war. Dur ing the course of his talk he said:
 We are today in a condition of pro- found peace with all the world. Would that that condition might continue without end. but the most sanguine can hardly have such expectation. It is appropriate and natural that fin time of peace we give thought to industrial problems. We do give thought mainly to commercial progress, and yet a glance at our annual appropriation bills show that year after year we are placing our army and our navy on a firIner foundation. for we are con- stantly preparing for the war which we hope will never come We believe that our surest guarantee of peace is found in perfect preparation for war"

 The writer of the letter recommend ed the greatest discretion. adding: "The highest heads are no longer safe on their shoulders. Look at Portugal"
 The president handed the letters to the French consul general. who com municated with the French police. Marquet was brought up for court mar. tial, but the court in consideration of the previous good character of the youth sentenced him to six days i'm. prisonment.
