SNAKES DISREGARD CHARMS

Calcutta Cor. New York SUM-
There is a simple way of admins
tering Justice on the Baluch frontier.
A council of elders has recently been
called upon by the British political
officer at Sibi to decide a claim aris-
ing out Of a snake bite. A Baluch
who had paid a fellow tribesman a
small sum-1s d in English money
for a charm against snakes, took hold
of one, was bitten and died straight
way.
His brother claimed blood money
from the seller of charms. The latter
on being arrested. pleaded that he
had learned the charm in which fag-
ic peppercorns were the chief ingre-
dent. from his mullah. or spiritual
teacher. who had agreed to be respon-
b in the event of any failure.
Moreover, he said the mullah had in
sisted on being aid a handsome COM
mission on all sales Of the chart.
The council Of elders has delivered a
lengthy Judgment. in the course of
which it LAYS down that some snakes
pay no heed to charms and incanta-
tons. and that the charm seller was
guilty of folly and carelessness. The
elders have accordingly sentenced him
to two months imprisonment, but they
decline to award blood money to the
plaintiff.

ELECTRICITY REMOVES SCOT.

Pittsburgh Finds a Way to .Abate lis
Z. Smoke Nuisance.
Electricity appeared as a solution
for the smoke problem in a lemon
stration at Pittsburgh recently. The
.smoke-abatinE appliance which wa,
shown removed the SCOT from 900
cubic feet of smoke a minute at q
total cost Of about one cent a day
for operation.
The action Of the apparatus con-
sists in precipitating the solid parti-
cles In the smoke by means of a pow
erful electric current, and its inven-
ton IL based on the fact that one
third to n half Of the solid matter
in smoke from smelling furnaces con-
sists Of particles Of iron oxide.
Electrical current IL applied to the
smoke by means of a wire woven
through q number of small pipes
placed at the top of the chimney SO
that the smoke must pass through
them. AS soon as the electricity ia
turned on the small particles floating
in the smoke are. changed to large
particles, which. fall back into a bin
by their own weight. It's application
is not confined. however. to smelling
furnaces. for it has been found that
the device works as successfully on
any kind Of smoke. cement or ore
dust. Soft coal and ashes were used
in the demonstration. As soon as q
patent has been obtained the appli.
ance will be placed on the MARKET

SEX.

What possible utility can be seen in
seeking to p~redetermine sex? AS a
scientific advance 1t would be a step
toward nothing serviceable. Nature is
the great adjustcr of the matter. Any
misbalance Of the is wholly the
result of social defects and not of
biological determinations. War and
famine and the various vicissitudes of
life, especially among the primitive
peoples, account for the preponder-
'ance of one or the other sex.
One expert declares that sex is regu-
lated by the kind Of food eaten during
the prematernal period; another ex-
