If memory serves there have been sew
eral cures for badness in the market and
out of it, but bald-headed men will be
delighted at the report of two more dis
coveries. A Polish peasant who has
something good for anything that ails
you is the author of a decoction Of snake
weed that would make hair grow on a
stone sidewalk, and an eminent physi-
clan of Budapest plants hair with gold
wires. 1000 to the square inch, so that
after the sewing there is a beautiful
crop, luxuriant and glossy.
This is great news. The energy that
will be set free when the bald-headed
men have ceased to concentrate on re-
pairs for unthatched roofs should de-
velop power enough to run a planet In
its ultimate effect conservation of for
ests would pale into insignificance by
comparison with the conservation Of hair.

predict the time when triumphant in

FIRE BLANK CARTRIDGES.
Admits Intending Murder, But Can
She Be Convicted?

Foreign Correspondence of The Star.
VIENNA, June 3O.-A fine point in law
has been raised here as to whether a per-
son can be convicted Of attempted MUIR
der when blank cartridges have been
fired in the belief they had bullets.
The case is that of a young woman
who bought a pistol from a dealer. who
prudently charged it with blank shells.
The girl then shot at her lover without
doing him the slightest harm. On arrest
she admitted her intention to murder the
man. but her lawyers have now raised
the point that person cannot be con-
victed of shooting with intent to kilr'
when it is impossible to carry out the
intention. This point is now the subject
Of ingenious argument on both sides.

Though for a time Americans may

beautiful maiden. XochitI. who won
the heart of the King of Mexico by her
skill in preparing drink which COM
bined sweet and bitter, aromatic and
soothing qualities. Hence the name

An Invention Founded Upon Smell

Alexander Graham Bell. the great In
ventor. in the National Geographic Mag
azine. tells how his photophone was in
vented primarily because of a smell The
explanation is follows:
First, chemist detected in sulphuric
acid waste an odor which on analysis
was found to come from IA hitherto un-
known substance. This was called Sc
lenium.
Second. selenium crystallized was found
to be a conductor of electricity of phe-
nomenally high resistance.
Third. the new resistant, having been
put to use in place of whole coils of
wire to balance the Atlantic cable dur
ing the period of laying, was found to
have at night twice its resisting power
Of the daytime.
Fourth, Prof. Bell. playing upon see-
NUNS sensitiveness to light produced the
photophone. by means OF which one may
talk over a beam of light.
