Neon, n newly discovered gas, is the
cause of the aurora borealis, accord

chemistry at Vanderbilt university.

showed what he claimed to be the
only sample of neon in this country.
1t requires more than 100 tons of air
to get one pint Of neon. DR.. Dudley
has discovered that the friction Of
neon against mercury in a Crookes
tube produces a yellow light. When
held near a wireless coil Hertzian
waves illuminate the gas. His conclu-
sions are that at the magnetic poles
of the earth neon, under high pressure
because CT the cold, is acted upon by
magnetic currents. thus producing the

Measuring Plant Growth,

The United States department of ag-
riculture has a clever little instrument
that is used to record the daily growth
of a plant. The top leaf Of q Seeding
is held in a tiny clasp, which in no
way harms the plant. To this clasp is
attached a small lever. the point of
which is furnished with an indelible
pencil, which rests lightly upon a pa
per record. AS the plants grow the
pencil naturally travels upward and
leaves on the paper a record Of the
plants growth. This shows the exact
increase in growth of plants reared by
electricity to those grown normally.

NOTHING WAS LOST.
An Omission In a Wedding Ceremony
That Didn't Count.

A distinguished officer Of the United
States navy nee told this story on
himself:
At the time Of his marriage he had
been through the civil war and had
had many narrowing experiences
aboard ship, through all of which he
kept courage and remained as calm
as a brave man should. AS the time
for the ceremony came on, however,
his calmness gradually gave way. At
the altar, amid the blaze Of brass but
tons and gold lace marking the full
naval wedding, the officer was all but
stampeded, and what went on there
seemed very much mixed to him.
Fearing the excitement Of the moment
would temporarily take him off his
feet, the officer had learned the mar
riage ceremony letter perfect, as he
thought, and he remembered repeating
the words after the minister in a me-
chanical sort Of way.
After the ceremony was over and all
vas serene again, including the off,
GERS state of mind, the kindly clergy
man came up to him and touched him
on the shoulder.

worldly goods"
"What's that?" asked the bridegroom
with something of establishment in his
voice.
"Why, / repeated the sentence With
all my worldly goods l thee endow'
several times, and despite my efforts
you would not say it after me-"
The bridegroom seemed %perturbed
for a moment, and then a beaming
light came into his face.

A FlCTIc,! EXPLODED.
Madstones Of No Value In the Treat.
ment Of Hydropi,obia.

ment CT Hydrophobia.
Profess: George W, Stevens. who
holds the chair of biology in the North
western Normal school at Alva, Okla.
and regards the maidstone theory as
ignorant charlatanisnl. has carefully
investigated the structure and history
of a number Of the more celebrated
madstones in Oklahoma. In writing
lately upon this subject he said:
Most persons use childish judgment
In concluding that an animal is rabid
The fact that a maidstone will adhere
to a wound is usually taken as prima
facie evidence that the dog that made
the wound was mad, when, as q mat
ter Of experiment, the maidstone will
stick to one wound about as we'll as
to another, NO matter how the wound
was produced. I saw 4 maidstone ad-
here to a boys foot which had been
cut on a wire fence. I have made
m adhere to a persons arm where l
had scratched of the epidermis as a
physician would for vaccination. As far
as adhering Is concerned, a piece Of cork
or pith would be a good maidstone. As
far as efficiency is concerned. anything
applied so the bitten person would
think 1t was acting properly would be
satisfactory. The m and only argu-
ment for using a maidstone is that per-
sons who believe In them get relief
from worry. The main objection to
their use Is that in case of real rabies
the correct treatment Of the case
might be neglected and the persons
life be lost.
While dogs have more cases Of "a.
bies than any other animal, it is some
times found in sheep. hogs, cattle.
horses and lei 1t does not occur in
any animal unless the animal is ex-
posed to the germs carried by some
other animal. That the disease is nat
ural to some animals Is a mistake.
There is belief among the cattlemen
of the plains that the small species of
skunk so common about the prairie
dog towns will communicate rabies By
its bite. This is not true unless the
skunk has caught the disease from
some other animal. There is no more
danger from a skunk bite than from
a cat bite.
When it is known that the germs
must enter a PERSONS live tissues be-
fore they can develop it is not hard to
understand why a person bitten by a
really rabid animal will not contract
the disease if bitten through clothes
or a glove. Under such circumstances
the saliva containing the germs is
| wiped from the animals teeth, and the
clean teeth will not communicate the
disease. But if any person so bitten
| goes to a maidstone it is easy to see
how he will explain his escape from
rabies.
Madstones should be classed with
the buckeye, which was once carried
in the pocket to prevent rheumatism
with the bag of asafetida, which
was hung about a child's neck to ward
off contagious diseases, and with the
rattles of a snake, carried in the hat
to prevent headache. They are now
mere curiosities. recalling the strange
steps in human intelligence leading VI

Before The Orphans Court.

The Orphans Court met in special
session this morning to hear evidence
on the petition of Isabella McNasby
for the removal of the guardianship
of Caroline II. Wilkinson, as guard
ian for Mary A. and Louise II. Dunn,
minors, for alleged cruelty, upon the
complaint of neighbors. The chill
dren, aged respectively twelve and
fourteen years, had been sent to the
Henry Watson Society for prevention
of cruelty to children, and it was
upon the complaint of Captain Par
ker, the agent of the institution, that
the Courts attention was called to
the case.
A number of witnesses were eX-
amined this morning on both sides,
and the case was ably presented by
counsel, Mr.. C. Arthur Eby, for Henry
Watson Society, and Mr.. A. Foley
Butler. of Baltimore, for the defend
ant. The discision of Court, after
reviewing the testimony, was that the
children remain with the Henry Wat
son Society and that Mrs. Wilkinson
remain as guardian, but to pay over
the amount of pension paid by the
government to the Henry Watson So
ciety for Prevention of Cruelty to
Children, into whose custody they are
to remain until they become of age.
