GLASS STAINED BY x-RAYs
Experiments Have Shown These Pro-
dues the Same Effect 90 the
Light OF the Sun.

II Is well known that glass exposed
for long TO sunlight acquires violet
tint. In very old houses the windows
facing south nre often distinctly vio-
let. Experiments recently made In the
laboratories Of the General Electric
company nt Schenectady with X-rnys
prove that these cnn be used TO dye
glass In many colors. principally an
nmeihystine violet and an amber yell
low. but also green and bright yellow.
These colors. according to Mr.. Ro-
scnthnl, who conducted the expert
rnents. are due to notifications Of the
physical structure of the glass and not
to chemical alterations. The color can
be made 10 penetrate to any desired
depth. from mere surface lint to
complete coloratIon Of the entire sub.
stance. And the same method can be
applied to t.nfIng porcelain. enamel
and precious stones.
An interesting and important fact
about this glass That has been colored
by long exposure to X-rnys Is that II
becomes impcrvIpus to the rndiatIons
that have transformed IL. Thus II chr
be used as protection against the
glare Of the sun or the snow and
against the X-rays themselves.

New Erie Canal, $40 Miles
Long, From Troy to Buffalo

The new Erie canal extends across
New York state from Troy to Buffalo,
a distance of $40 miles. From Troy ii
follows the line of the Hudson river to
Waterford. Turning west it follows
the line Of the Mohawk river to point
beyond Little Falls. West of this point
it follows the route Of the old canal,
but passes north of Utica on a new
line, thence south of Rome and through
Oneida lake. From there it follows the
Oneida river to the Seneca river at
Three River point, and on through the
Clyde river to a point east of Lyons.
From there the old canal route is fol-
lowed beyond Pittsford. Here the
channel leaves the old route, crosses
the Genesee river about mile south
of Rochester, joins the line of the old
canal a few miles west and continues
through the old channel to and through
iTonawanda creek to Tonawanda on the
Niagara river, which is followed to
Lake Erie at Buffalo.

Automatic Soldier Made
Of Steel Shoots 400 Shots
In Any Desired Direction

"An automatic soldier" is one of the
latest developments in weapons of war.
A Danish engineer has recently taken
out patent for an apparatus to which
he has given this name. 1t consists of
steel cylinder normally within a larg.
er cylinder, the whole being sunk into
the ground vertically. By means of a
mechanism operated by wireless, the
inner cylinder rises to a height of Is
inches from the ground and simultane-
Ously an automatic rifle mounted on the
inner cylinders fires 400 shots in any
given direction.
The automatic soldiers" can be con-
trolled from a central position some
four or five miles behind the line of
defense, according to the inventor
They may be seen by the enemy only
when they rise from the ground.
From trials already made it has been
shown, so it is reported, that few hun
dreds Of these steel soldiers can easily
defend a position against infantry at.
tackS, however numerous the opposing
force may be. They blaze away their
400 shots without flinching, and never
retreat. In order to overcome the Eau
tomatoes they must be destroyed ont
by one.

Selection of the Stars in
the Flag of United States

Whatever conclusions may be reach
ed as to the originator of the idea of
selecting stars to represent the states
of the federal union, one thing is GER
tain; and that is that the stars which
adorn the American flag were never
borrowed from the coat of arms of any
American citizen, not excepting that of
George Washington. In the first place,
General Washington who, as some au-
thOrities think, owned the stars select
ed for the purpose, was far from being
the "father of his country" in the early
part of 1777, when the Star-Spangled
Banner came into being. At that time
the military situation of the country
was at it's lowest ebb, and Washington
was beset by more than one cabal of
jealous rivals. No, our forefathers
who formed this glorious union looked
higher than man for a symbol of SOW
ereignty, and sought the heavens,
which declare the glory of Cod" for
a sign, and selected something from
the armament, which "showeth His
handiwork;" or there would have been
no 'In God We Trust" on our coins
today.-Admiral Chester in Yale Re-
view.

Two-Year-O Old Tot Can Read,
Count and Tell Time of Day

A tiny two-year-old baby girl in Cal
ifornia holds the worlds record in
mental development. The infant prod
ICY is Martha Springer, twenty-six
months old, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
John E. Springer of Mountain View.
The child can read like an eight-year-
old, according to a correspondent. The
father says the child has a normal
mind, which simply has been devel-
oped by persistent training. At re-
cent meeting Of college professors and
experts in pedagogy and psychology
the child for 40 minutes read, count
ed and told the time by clock and talk
ed with the men who were observ-
ing her. Her baby brain did not sag,
and she appeared to enjoy the long in
terview. All were unanimous in de-
claring that the baby's case indicates
that geniuses are made, not born.
The child reads and speaks with a
vocabulary of about 1000 words. She
is large for her age and eats and
sleeps well.

FOR The POULTRY
GROWER

"Aspergillosis" is the name of
disease that is fatal to chickens, and
is the result of feeding moldy grain,
writes Frank L. Pratt, extension poul-
try husbandman, United States depart
ment Of agriculture.
1t is especially important that the
farmers and poultry keepers should
protect their chickens by giving them
as sound and sweet corn as possible.
There is practically no cure for this
disease. AS the disease develops there
is a fever, diarrhea, dropping wings,
great depression, suffocation and
death. The symptoms are similar to
those of tuberculosis, and aspergillosis
and tuberculosis are both cases of
what practical poultrymen often term
"going light"
The spores of aspergillosis are usu-
ally introduced by moldy grain or feed
ing the grain in moldy filters of straw.
The fungus most frequently develops
in the respiratory system, mouth and
lungs. To prevent it, feed sound
sweet grain. Moldy corn is particu'
larly dangerous.
