is AN INHERITED DEFECT
Physicians Have Found That "Stif3
Fingers" Are Transmitted From
Generation to Generation.

In the recent proceedings of the Ma
tional Academy of Sciences, Doctor
Gushing of Harvard Medical schoo,
and the Peter Bent Brigham hospital,
Boston, announced to the academy
some results he had found in study
ing the heredity of stiff fingers" a
type of malformation of the hands or
feet
He has studied the history of a
family which migrated from Scotland
to Virginia in 100, and has found that
"stiff fingers" are hereditary with the
regularity which is expected in GER
tain traits.
Of the more than 300 defendants Of
the Scotch emigrant about % per cent
had stiff fingers In families in
which neither parent was affected the
children were not affected. In fam
lies in which one parent, either moth
er or father, was affected, about half
of the children were affected with the
malformation.

Hinh ExnIosixes.

Professor Smithells of Leeds univer-
city in lecture on High Explosives"
said that one popularity of them is
that you could do anything you liked
to them, even kick them with i'm
punity, and they are quite safe until
they received the right vibratory
shock. A high explosive produces from
$4,000 to 10000 times it's own volume
of gas, and the velocity is at the rate
of about seven miles second, a speed
at which one can travel from Leeds to
London in about twenty-seven sec
onds. II man, turning a street cor
ner, meets gale of wind blowing at
eighty miles an hour, it will nearly
upset him; yet it only travels about
forty yards second instead of seven
miles. Thus $50 gales OF wind would
have to be met with cumulative eff
feet before the velocity of high ex-
plosive will have to be encountered.

Can Hold the Maker.

Motorists who still use acetylene to
light their cars may find some conso-
lation in the fact that if while touring
the acetylene tank should explode and
blow them four or five miles off the
against the manufacturer of the tank.
In Fort Wayne, Ind, the coroner in a
case where two men were killed by
the explosion of tank of this lighting
gas holds that the maker of the tank
is the person responsible for the
deaths.
