The prizes for physics and chemistry are awarded by the Swedish Academy of Science. that for physiological or med ical work by the Caroline institute (the faculty of medicine in Stockholm), that for literature by the Swedish academy in Stockholm, and the peace prize is awarded by committee of five persons elected by the Norwegian storthing. The value of each prize is on an average of $4O,ooo, and they are awarded each year on Dec. 10, the an niversary of MT. Nobels death. They are open to the world.

was conveyed on the same train. The
man was taken to the Jail and placed
on a cot in the corridor, to have his
wound treated and dressed, While the
doctor was engaged upon this work
the white John Perry, who, from his
cell, could plainly see all that was 60
ing on, became so enraged that he
attempted to kill himself by butting
his head against the steel bars of his
cage. The prisoner had almost sue.
ceeded in dashing out his brains be-
fore he was prevented.
Owing to the high standing of Perry
the Jail was filed with citizens on the
next day, many of them being friends
of Temple, and leading citizens. Tele-
grams began to pour in from all parts
of the state, rendering the prisoner all
sorts of aid, financial and otherwise.
An able lawyer volunteered to defend
the prisoner, and society ladies sent
him many delicacies of various kinds.
The prisoner had offered in extenu-
alton for his attempt to commit suicide
the plea that he had felt intolerably
Inundated by being accused of the
murder of his partner. He declared
that he was innocent and would be
exonerated in court. Unfortunately
there appeared to be every likelihood
that Perry spoke the truth, since the
main evidence against him was that Of
a negro, and black mans testimony
requires to be strongly substantiated
in the south before it can convince the
mind of the average white juryman.
The colored prisoner continued to
improve, and Perry, who had seriously
injured himself, was also on the high
road to recovery when young woman
sent him choice luncheon, in which
was cut glass plate containing deli
cacies. While John Perry was eating
this lunch, the guard being at the far
end of the cell, he suddenly struck the
plate upon the steel floor, breaking
it to pieces. He picked up a large, tri-
angular-shaped piece of glass, with
edges as sharp as that of a razor, and
plunged it into his throat, at the same
time giving the piece of glass an extra
twist, which severed the jugular vein,
causing death in few minutes.
The colered man pleaded guilty at
the trial and was sentenced to life
term in the state prison.

Effect of Heat on Glasses.

Thin glasses do not crack so easily
as thick glasses when you pour hot
water into them. This is because the
heat penetrates the thin glass so quick
ly as to heat all parts Of it equally
and they hold together in the expan-
sion which occurs. When hot water is
poured into II thick glass the particles
forming the inside of the glass begin
to expand before the heat has pene-
trated to the outside of the glass, and
in the effort to expand the inside par
ticles of the glass break away from the
particles of the outer side, thereby
causing the crack
