New Optical Glass.

A new German optical glass is de
signed for colorless spectacles-in-
stead Of the usual colored ones-to
give protection against ultraviolet
rays, such as give trouble in climbing
high mountains or working In the light
of the mercury-quartz lamp. The glass
is due to the discovery that a suitable
mixture of rare earths in glass fux alb
serbs the harmful rays. Such earths
as neodymium, erbium, cerium, lanth-
anium and thorium may be used in
varying combinations and the protec-
tive glass shows objects and land.

WOMEN EXERT QUEER POWER
Sisters Dwelling on Mysterious Mount
in Burma Undoubtedly Able
to Charm Reptiles.

In the Businesses of Mount Popa, a
mysterious sacred mount in Burma,
live two sisters who have achieved q
wide reputation for their uncanny pow
ers in charming deadly snakes. Nh
Hpwa and her sister are the only living
opponents of an art which has been
handed down from generation to gen.
Grafton within the circle Of their family.
Their secret is most rigidly preserved,
and at their death will be passed on to
their next-of-kin, as, it was handed on
to them by their parents.
In great number of cases so-called
snake-charmers swindle the public by
extracting the poison fangs of their
pets, thereby rendering themselves safe
from accident. There is' tragic proof,
however, to the genuine nature of the
performance of Ma Hpwa and her fam
lily, in the death of sister who disre-
garded the strict traditions of the art.

to sway In rhythm to the music, giving
sharp leaps each time the reptile

a ham and was told to go TO a GER

arrival managed to trade the ham for
a machine that would grind out any
thing its owner wished for. He car

president says:

Idaho find themselves in practically
the same position they were in two
years ago. In order to vote for the
democratic candidate for senator they
must vote for the nonpartisan league

party two years ago and they refuse
to submit this year. All over the

his nonpartisan deal are heard from

themselves with the movement start

Senator Nugent and the nonpartisan

subject of his address "Samuels and

The desire of the public to hear the
senator on this subject was further
emphasized by Donald A. Callahan in
