oxxnen 10 Cut Metals.

Diamond may cut diamond, but oxy-
gen cuts metals, at least at Liege.
There there is daily exhibition of the
Jottrand process for cutting metals by
Jet of oxygen. The apparatus con-
sists essentially in blow pipes, moved
along a guide In front of the metal
plates or part to be cut at the rate Of
about six inches per minute.
One of the blow pipes delivers an
oxyhydrogen fame, which raises the
metal where II is to be cut to tenn
perature corresponding with dark red
The following blow pipe delivers jet
of pure oxygen which enters into COM
bustion with the hot metal, thus pro-
ducing a clear channel like saw cut
about one-eighth inch thick, the re-
mainder of the metal being unaffected
by the Exchange.

CHILD BADLY BURNED
,lothine Catches Fire snd Little
One 10 Severely Burned.

Relvis, the five year old daugh-
ter of MIR. and Mrs. Henry Stose,
residing on the Lawrence farm, a
short distance east of the city was
very seriously burned in gasoline
explosion at her home about one
O'Clock today.
The child was with her mother
who was engaged in cooking on a
gasoline stove, when the wind sud
denly blew out the fire, catching
a skillet containing gasoline below
the stowo. The blaze cnveloped the
little girl and very badly burned
her about the face, her right limb
and her back. A large part OF her
| hair was burned from her head.
Her injuries are very serious but
Twill not prove fatal 1t is believed
| by the attending physician.

A Real Rapld.Fire Gun.

A new death-dealing instrument has
been invented. A Lithuanian gentle
man. M. Feodor Troitz, has contrived a
gun, worked by electricity, which will
fire from 1000 to $4,000 shots minute.
The range of this new weapon is three
miles, and it's destructive power, If all
claims on its behalf are genuine, should
put in the shade such trivial toys as
magazine rifles. The gun only requires
one man to work It.

VOLCANOES IN MARYLAND.
Prove TO Be the Oldest Rock Forms
tion in the United States.

ton IN the Unlteu otd'eo
Prof. Philip r. Uhler gives an ac-
count of a discovery which he made In
the western Maryland mountains, says
the Baltimore American. Three peaks
the principal one named Buzzards
Knob, crown plateau about six miles
from the city. 1t was for Prof. uhler
to discover that the three prominences
are in fact volcanoes, and that they
are the very Oldest type OF volcanic
rock that is found In the United States
These peaks are of a different form
from volcanoes like Vesuvius. In the
latter form of volcano molten lava ana
stones are forced up by superheated
steam, leaving deep hole, but In
these craters In western Maryland the
whole mountain was originally In a
molten condition and the top crust was
forced upward in a dome-shaped form,
and such lava as did escape was forced
out in vents at various places. The
volcanic rock of the region is metal
bearing, and speciments OF gray. green
and gold copper were found by Dr.
Uhler. The domes of the craters were
somewhat elliptical In shape.

Broke Up His Speech.

Judge Norton was solemn. stern and
dignifed to excess. He was also ego
tistical and sensitive to rldlcule. Judge
Nelson was wit and careless of de-
corum. He did not like Judge Norton.
AT a bar supper Judge Norton In an
|elaborate speech, referring to the early
days OF Wisconsin, described with trag.
ic manner a thunderstorm which once
overlook him In riding the circuit. The
scene was awful. and" said the Judge.

His Muscles Obey Him.

Medical circles in Vienna are being
edited by some remarkable examples
of muscular action which man aged
about 80 years is showing. His power
over his muscles is so great that he can
perform feats that would usually be
deemed incredible. lie can contract
his abdominal muscles so as to show an
undulating movement massing upward
and downward; his larynx goes up and
down without the aid of the tongue;
and he can even cause his pupils either
to contract or dilate thus showing the
influence of will over so-called invol-
untary actions.
BY contracting the diaphragm he is
able to displace his heart by four
inches. One of his marvellous feats.
narrated by a Lancet correspondent, is
the "transposition of the intestines
into the space occupied usually by the
lungs.-Exchange.
