| LIQUID NERVES ARE FOUND
New Discovery With Regard to Phe.
nomena of Sense Of Sight An
nounced by Scientists.

Manchester.-An new discovery with
regard to the phenomena of the sense
Of sight has been announced by DR..
T. w Edridge-Green, an eminent au.
thority in visual research. He has
found by an interesting series Of ex-
periments and tests that the process
Of vision Is not the simple transmits
sion by the optic nerve to the brain
of objects photographed on the retina
The discovery, in non-technical Ian
guage, amounts to this: In front of
the retina there is a small chamber
or sac OF clear liquid which Is in con-
slant motion of currents or eddies.
Doctor Green finds that this liquid
itself contains distinct perceptive
nerve power which plays an important
part in conveying Impressions to the
brain.
In other words, this wonderful liquid
contains liquid nerves, SO to speak,
which transmit to the understanding
a considerable part of the impression
1t receives of color, form, etc.

NOT AS BAD AS IT SOUNDED
Wonderful Highland Dialect Respon-
sible for Wrong Impression
Given Divine.

Andrew Carnegie, at a dinner in
New York. talked about the Scotch
dialect.
It's a hard lingo to understand, he
said. 1T often causes awkward mis-
takes.
"Once an American divine spent
Christmas in Highland inn. On
Christmas morning he gave the maid
tip Of sovereign, and he said, look
ing earnestly at her-for she was a
pretty maid
:. Do you know, Kathleen, you are q
very good looking lassie?'
"Of course Kathleen was pleased,
but, being modest, she blushed like q
rose and answered:
"sAh, ma! All, ma! But my kissin,
sir, is beautiful!
'.The divine froWned
Leave the room, you wicked
young baggage!' he said stern1y.
He didn't know, you see, that mod
est Kathleen had ben simply praising:
in her Highland dialect, the superior
charms of her cousin Janet of Pes

MOTHERS OF THEN AND NOW
Conditions Are Only Different, No
Matter What Sentimental
Writers May Assert.

The popular writer who bewails
what he assumes to be the fact that
the aold-fashioned,' mother is no more
is liable to defeat his own purpose if
that be intoxicating in children the
highest possible regard for their pa
rents. It's a danger which even the
quantitative theory of literature or
space rates cannot Justify.
The mother Of the past, of course,
was different from the mother Of the
present, as different on the whole as
the conditions Of life then and now,
but since her daughter is the mother
OF the present there must be some
points of similarity. All the good in
our mothers and grandmothers GER
tain1y could not have vanished It
will be paying scant tribute to those
dear, good women who have laid down
their precepts and examples and
passed on to say SO. And, of course,
this writer does not mean to do that,
yet he comes very near doing what he
does not intend
The fallaey of the whole sentiment
tai notion that because things and
people are not like they used to be.
they are not as good lies in the pat
ent fact that they cannot be alike, and
II they were it would simply be be-
cause Of the present generation being
SO much inferior to the past that it
was unable to do no more than stand
still.

/ A girl, aged thirteen, has been a

as docile, affectionate child, and is
a great favorite with the nuns. About
three weeks ago one of the sisters
heard this child screaming during the

the girl told her she had a fearful
dream, in which she saw Christ on the
cross and soldier driving lance into
his side. The nun comforted the child,
who fell asleep.
In the morning the child complained
that her wrist and arm were sore.
On examination 1t was found that her
forearm was marked with cross in
red. Underneath the cross were the
letters Il. II. S." "A few days later
there appeared below the letters a
crown Of thorns. Two or three days
later there appeared above the cross,

WAY OF SAVING OLD BOOKS
German Chemists Succeed In Com.
pounding Preparation Which Pro-
tects Manuscripts.

Ber1in.-Chemists Of the Royal
Prussian laboratory in Gross-Lichter-
felde near Berlin have succeeded in
compounding a preparation which pro-
tects ancient books and manuscripts
from decay. The new preparation is
described rs cellite-solution and Is
now being manufactured in bulk by
an Elberfeld chemical firm
Ali state archives and libraries
throughout Germany have been noti-
fed that the new substance should
be adopted for the preservation OF val
liable records and documents. AS an
Illustration, Of German thoroughness it
may be mentioned that the laboratory
chemists previously tested every grade

BIG CHICAGO FIRES

where they persisted from cold and
exposure. Others remained il the
crib, whence their charred bodies
were later removed in gunny sacks
and tumb1ed into common grave at
South Chicago. Most of them were
buried unidentified.
The catastrophe at the worlds fair
was witnessed by $4,000 pleasure
seekers who watched the fremen
drop to their death.
On the day of the fire flames were
discovered near the crown of the
stack. Assistant Battalion Chief
James Fitzpatrick led his men to a
platform thirty feet below the flames
with lead Of hose. While they were
fighting the fire above 1t ate rapidly

patrick saw that they were trapped
He ordered his men to Jump, and they
were seen shaking hands on the tower
when a coil Of rope was hurled to
them from below. It was no sooner
secured, however, than it began to
burn. and as the men slipped down
its length they plunged into a fiery
pit below.
Late in March OF last year fourteen
lives were lost in a fire In the furni-
ture store of L. Fish at 1906 Wabash
avenue. The Victims, mostly young
girls, were penned in the upper sto-
ries Of the burning structure.
The latest fire was that Of Deem
