Reveals the
Thoughts
Remarkable Device New York
Inventor Is Sure He Can Make
Successful.

II everybody could tell what every
body else was thinking about, what
could happen to the human racer
Would 1t be better off or in worse
case than It Is to-day?
George F. Parker, who gets up all
the novelties for the electrical shows
which are held each year at Madison
Square garden. New York. is going to
test the effect of the brain fash on
the person who receives the signal.
European scientists have for some
time been experimenting with a de-
vice which Mr. Parker translates into
'thinkograph." and a model of the
appliance viii be on view at the COM
ing electrical show.
The "thinkograph" Is designed. In
its completed state, to enable Grim
inologist to tell what thoughts are
passing through a suspects mind
A cap is placed on the subjects
head and dial indicates the thoughts
rushing through the brain. An ar
rangement Of sensitive coils and other
apparatus makes this possible.
When the "thinkograph" is per.
fected. however, its use win not be
confined to police authorities. Mr.
Parker believes that IL they can be
put out at a reasonable price. prac-
tically no home viii De without them.
'In other words" said Mf. Parker,
in telling of the plan 70 try out the
invention before the crowds at the
coming electrical show, ''if a man felt
like kicking anybody on the shin, and
II be had this apparatus on his head,
the object Of attack would be able to
dodge. or II the man had been out the
night before to the lodge. or had told
his wife so. she could put this cap on
his head and get at the truth of the
matter.
The machine would be invaluable
for investors who desired to know the
actual state Of mind Of the moving
fnanciers. Suppose man who got to
Mr.. Hartman and asked as TO the

stocks were headed for a rise.

the rent money on this information he
might apologetica1ly slip the cap on

heart or purely Pickwickian.

Ink at 500 a Pound.

'The best India ink-it should really
be called China ink never leaves Chs
ma" said missionary. 1T costs 500
a pound, and the scribes use it IN writ
ing the correspondence of the royal
family and the mandarins. India ink
is made of the oil of poisonous seeds
of the sesamum or COLA tree Varnish
and pork fat are added to the oil, and
then, by means OF combustion. all IS
changed to lampblack. The lampblack
paste mixed with glue is beaten for
days on IN anvil, and musk is gradu-
ally mixed in to give perfume and the
priest gold leaf to give a rich ulster.
Finally the ink is dried In molds for
about a month. What makes the best
India ink so costly is it's purity and.
above all. the long time given TO Its
combustion and subsequent beating.
If you saw its beauty you wouldn't
think it dear at 500 a pound. "-Phila.

FIND ANTS OF GREAT VALUE
Scientists Use Small insects to Aid
Them in Their Fossil In
vestiqations.

archaeological members OF the
United States geological survey have
hit on a unique scheme for the collec-
ton of small fossil bones in certain
parts of the west The mammals from
which the bones are derived are pref
ty generally distributed, but are never
abundant, and on account of their
small size are seen with difficulty.
They may be more frequently found in
what are locally known as blow.
OUTS" and are almost always asso.
ciated with garpike scales and teeth.
and teeth and bones of other fish,
crocodiles, lizards and small dinosaurs.
These remains are frequently so
abundant In blow louis" as to attract
attention easily.
When such-a place is found, careful
search is almost always rewarded by
the discovery of few jaws and teeth
of mammals. This has been known
for long time, but II was only more
recently that 1t was discovered that
a certain species of ant, In excavating
its burrows and in collecting material
from and beneath the surface, brings
together great numbers of small
stones with which to build the small
hemispherical hflbocks from one to
two feet in diame1er in and beneath
which 1t constructs its subterranean
chambers. Anywhere in the region at
"a favorable locality among this az
sgregation of pebbles, a considerable
number of small fossiltteeth and jaws,
fish scales, small vertebyae, etc, viii
always be found. and all the pateon-
'tologist had to do was tossift an ant
hill through an ordinary -four sitter
to supply himself with abundant ma
terial.
The nextsstepscames when gome en-
terprising sluggard wishing to sam
pie an ankless region with little effort,
followed Scripture. and went literally

the place with antsswhich he brought
from several miles away. The ants

when the paleontolozist went back
