CATCH GERMS IN AIR FILTER
French Psychologist Makes Public De-
tails Of Newly Invented Apparatus
for Purifying Air.

A French psychologist, Prof. Charles
Richet Of the Academy of Medicine,
has recently made public in detail a
description OF his newly invented APP
paratus for Purifying the air in rooms.
The design Of this filter is an adapta-
ton Of the principle involved in the
experiments for determining the num-
Der Of germs in the air as performed
by the director of the Mont-Souris OBJ
servatory at MIGUEL.
Professor Richets invention con-
sists of ventilator driven by cleo
tricity and capable of displacing 200
cubic meters OF air an hour. A reser-
voir containing glycerine is fastened
Immediately beneath the fans of the
ventilator. When the fansa rotate
they draw up fine drops Of this glyc-
crime and scatter 1t in a spray along
the cylindrical walls that encase the
ventilator, come in contact with this
spray Of glycerine, and the microbes,
dust and spores, which are always
present in the atmosphere, adhere to
the viscous drops and fall to the bot
tom of the apparatus. This method
corresponds to natures wholesale pu-
rification Of the atmosphere when
there is a heavy rainfall.
Professor Rlchet believes that the
use of this apparatus would be most
effective in preventing contagion by
the germs of scarlatina, smallpox and
tuberculosis.-H arper's Weekly.

HIGHEST FLIGHT OF BALLOON
Unprecedented Elevation Of 95,35o
Feet, or Eighteen Miles, Attained
at Belgian Institute.

The unprecedented elevation Of 95,.
$50 feet, or 10 miles, was attained by
an unnamed registering balloon
which was recently released at the
Belgian Meteorological institute at
Uccle. At this elevation the baro-
metric pressure is only two-ffths of
an inch. The greatest height ever at
tanned by manned balloon Is about
81 miles, or 35, 400 feet. The Berlin
aeronauts Berson and Suering, who
established this record, we're uncon-
scious when they reached the highest
point of their flight.
The Belgians adopted Hergesell's
plan of attaching the instruments to
a small and partially inflated balloon,
suspended from a larger and fully in
fiated one. The large balloon rises
until It bursts, and the small balloon
falls slowly, so that it can be easily
observed and brings the instruments
safely to earth. At the maximum ele-
walton, Is miles, the thermometer re.
corded a temperature Of minus 80 de-
grees F., but a lower temperature,
minus SS1s degrees F., was registered
at the comparatively small elevation
Of eight miles.

ADD LIFE TO EVENING FRoCK
Butterfly Bow Fairly Covers the Back
In a New and Popular
Fancy Of Paris.

A very pretty treatment for worn
evening frocks has recently been in
vented. It is to pass narrow cein-
ture plated or fulled about the waist
to graduate into big butterfly bow
at the back, something after the fash

big. loose loops are generally en-
ployed-one to stand out at each side
and the third to stay below, spread

chou must cover the back. Such a gar
nish takes just three yards Of narrow
silk or satin. Sometimes the bow is
of the same tone as the dress, but
when that cannot be found soft con-
trast is used, or even white. since
white is so much worn this season.

Cause of EARTHQUAKES.

From about 700 earthquakes Of
known source, two Scottish inquirers
have obtained evidence that earth
quake frequency is connected with the
shifting of the earth's axis. When
the north pole is moving toward

frequency will be about the average
near longitude degree and 1870 de-
grees. but above the normal near 90
degrees east longitude and below it
near 80 degrees west longitude.
