sisTERsvIllE GLASS MEN CON
QUOTING EXPERIMENT AT

IL was learned last evening that the
experiment being conducted in the
hodefer Glass Company plant al Bel.
laire. an account OF which was pub
nshed exclusively in The Intelligen-
Ger yesterday morning. will be in
every way successful. from present
Indications. The experiment Is being
conducted by a German whose name
was not divulged. and who il assisted
oy Emil Lamoouitt. Jules Renter and
Harley Adams. glass men OF Sisters
Vile. When the glass Is blown Il
viii be sent TO the Independent Glass
Factory at Sistersville. where Il will
be nattened. and later sent to Boston.
where the final test viii be made.
The glass that the experiment is be-
Ing made for will be used for spec
tacles and typewriter keys, and on
account OF its delicate nature requires
much skill in its manufacture. The
glass IL being blown to a thickness
or one-sixteenth OF an inch, and even
inner. The glass that has been used
FOR this particular work before Is i'm
ported from Germany and Bavaria
Should the manufacture of the glass
be successful in the United States. n
viii prove a great boon TO the many
factories similar TO that OF the Ro-
defer glass plant OF Bellaire.
The Rodefer glass factory OF Bel
laire Is one OF few OF its kind in the
Ohio Valley. The ingredients used in
the manufacture OF this special work
is much different from that OF the
other factories OF the Ohio Valley
The glass that IL made in other fac
tories is OF a green color. and the
glass that is being used in the expert
ment must be clear.
Much money has been expended to
conduct the experiment in Bellaire. A
special blow furnace has been in
stalled. and many special tools have
been purchased. To-day the first ship
ment OF the glass will be sent to Sis
tersville by boat. and the delicate ma
ture OF the glass necessitates extreme
care in its shipping.
When II has been nattened at the
Sistersville plant II will be shipped to
Boston. where IL will be cut and tire
result OF the experiment made known.

Raindrops

Drops of rain vary in their size per
haps from twenty-fifth to quarter
of an inch in diameter. In parting
from the clouds they precipitate their
descent till the increasing resistance
opposed by the air becomes equal to
their weight. when they continue to
fall with uniform velocity, This We.
locity is therefore in a certain ratio
to the diameter Of the drops; hence
thunder and other showers in which
the drops are large pour down faster
than drizzling rain. A drop of the
twenty-ifth part of an, inch in falling
through the air would, when it had ar,
rived at its uniform velocity, acquire a
celebrity of only eleven and half feet
per second, while one of quarter of
an inch would have a velocity of thir-
ty-three and half feet.

was the Emperor Francis Joseph, who

A LEFT HANDED ARTIST
Leonardo da Vinci Even Wrote From
Right to Left

A right handed man in making a
drawing puts his shading from right to
left diagonally downward. A left hand
ed man puts his shading from left to
right. This is especially noticeable in
the drawings of Leonardo da Vinci. who
was left handed. In the same way a
rlgnt handed man, being asked to draw
spiral, naturally makes what is called
a left handed" spiral-that is, one
that curves clockwise, while the left
handed man draws the "right handed -
spiral, or that which curves counter
clock wise.
In his book, "The Curves of Life. -
Theodore Andrea Cook SAYS that a
Sherlock Holmes could tell from the
curves of carpenters shavings
whether he was right or left handed. rs
right handed carpenter invariably
drlves ms plane little to the left, pro-
duclng right handed screws, while the
left handed carpenter pushes his plane
little to the right and produces left
handed crews.
screws and corkscrews are right hand
screws unless made for some special
purpose. Left hand screws can be
'oougnt from any large hardware dealer.
Cofln screws for some unexplained rea.
son are always left hand screws. Man
is naturally right handed and it has
'oeen suggested that this may be owing
to the position of his heart on the left
side. So all tools and weapons have
been adapted to right handed men. This
rus true OF the adze, plane, scythe, gini-
let, auger, scissors, snuffers, shears, etc.
| The strongly left handed man will
continue to use such tools with his left
hand, even though with inconvenience
out he in whom the left handedness is
not strong bias becomes ambidextrous
through the use of the right handed
contrivances and appliances of every
day life.
Mr.. Cook mentions many customs
mat have arisen through the normal
right handedness of man. Among these
IS the rule of drying to the left which
still obtains in England, Portugal,
sweden and parts of Austria, Italy and
switzerland. This is a survival of rid.
ing days, when men held the reins in
thelr left hands in order to leave their
| rlght free to use their swords.
| The most notable example of a left
handed artist is Leonardo da Vinci. He
also wrote with mis- left hand and
wrote from right to left. So that any
one who wants to read his manuscripts
or the annotations on his drawings must
use mirror. This, according to Mr..
Cook, is the natural method of the left
handed man.

MINIATURE TREES
Simple Plan BY Which Plants May Be
Dwarfed In the Growing

For many centuries the Japanese
have closely guarded the secret of
growing miniature trees. Indeed, un-
til recently they did not allow the
trees to be taken out of the country;
wealthy people keep them as art
treasurers. Now, in America, dwarf
trees bring good price and are used
as house plants and table decorations.
By following the plan here described
almost any one can raise diminutive
trees with lettle trouble.
Get a few large, thick skinned
oranges and halve them. Remove the
pulp and cover the outside of the
skins with thick shellac. That will
keep the skins from shriveling. Fill
the skins with fine, rich soil and plant
therein a seed of whatever tree you
wish to raise-or rather two or three
seeds to insure at least one good speci-
men.
Make a stand Of some kind so that
the growing tree can be kept in an
upright position and set the plants
where they will get plenty of sun, but
do not keep them in room that is
likely to become overheated. Water
them regularly, but not too profusely.
After time the roots will begin to
come through the orange peel. When
that happens cut the roots off flush
with the outer surface of the orange
peel, but be careful not to injure the
film of shellac.
1t is the cutting of the roots that
stunts the plants. When the tree has
I q a
to more attractive holder. Conifers
such as cedars, pines and cryptomerias
can be readily stunted; so also can
other evergreens, as lick and Citrus
trifoliata. Some dwarf cedars have
been known to live more than 500
years. Fruit trees, such as the orange
and plum, blossom and bear perfect
fruit.--Youth s Companion.

HYPNoTIzING ANIMALS
Even the Deadly Cobra May Be Made
Perfectly Passive

Hypnotizing a hen is trick known
to most country boys. 1t is an old ex-
pertinent, first described by the Jesuit
father, Athanasius Kircher, who laid
hen on the table, held it firmly for
little while and drew chalk line
IN front of its eyes, with the result
that it remained as if in catalepsy.
I In India it is known that a cobra
caught by the neck and gently pressed
will soon become stiff and remain so
for considerable time either coiled
up or out straight.
A frog fastened to board and
turned suddenly upside down goes into
a trance. Other animals are susceptible
to this treatment, some more quickly
than others.
If you pick up crab and wave it in
the air it becomes immobile, female
bending her legs over her abdomen, a
male sticking them out almost straight.
The same is true of the fresh water
crayish, only this resists for much
longer time than crab.
Among the insects catalepsy-com-
monty known as 'death feigning g'--is
common, and, according to Professor
Ernst Mangold, the learned German
naturalist, is often means of saving
the life of the insect.
According to Mangold, the hypnotic
condition is induced in man by sug-
gestion or physical inhibition, in ami
mails by mechanical inhibition. but
in both cases sensory stimuli may as
sist. These stimuli may be optic (fix.
ing the gaze on some object, or tactile
(stroking the skin), or otherwise. Some
times an absence of wonted stimuli
may induce the state, as in the case
of absolute silence.-St. Louis Post.
