SCIENTIFIC SCRAPS. The engine of an express train odn wastes mile traveled. twelve-gallons of water for An international congress has been arranged at Baris for the diseussion of tite means of preventing fires in theatres and other places of publio resort. The wave-length of the Boentgen rays, as determined by Her L. Fomm, is 0.000,014 millimeter, which is about one‘fifteenth of that of the shortest ultra-violet waves yet accurately measured. Dr. W. D. Abbott of Philadelphia, who has made valuable donations to the Smithsonian Institution, has now given a collection of birds from the Malayan peninsnla containing 1100 birds, representing over 200 species. A resolution has been submitted to quiring the municipal council of Paris re¬ families to furnish every two months a medical certificate stating that infants under one year have been cared for in accordance with hygienic rules. That the white man may live in the tropics safely with proper safeguards reached against baoteria is the conclusion by an Italian physioian after years of study. This author regards all tropical diseases, including even sunstroke, as parasitic in origin: • The minimum temperature of visi¬ bility has been found by Signor Pet tineli, an Italian physicist, to vary with the size of the heated surface. A surface of 23 square inches at two feet fl-om the eye beoomes visible in the dark at 400 degrees G. (690 degrees F.). The theodolites used at the Blue Hills, Mass., Meteorological Observa¬ tory for measuring clouds were lately turned upon a flock of ducks that was flying over. The birds were found to be at a height of 958 feet above the lower station, in the Neponset valley, and were flying at the rate of 47.8 miles an hour. Meteorological records kept at Edin¬ burgh for one hundred and thirty eight years show no appreciable change in the climate conditions and nothing approaching weather cyoles. Great snowstorms prevailed during the first quarter of this century, and thunderstorms .have been unususlly frequent in recent years. A complete racial survey of the liv¬ ing adult population of Switzerland iB proposed by Dr. Rudolph Martin of Zurich. The observations of each in¬ dividual would include measurements 28 in all—with a few simple impli ments, together with color of hair and eyes, complexion, shape of head, face nose, etc. Tho object sought is to determine what types among the in¬ habitants represent pure varieties, and what others indicate hybrid forms. A Young Kentuckian’s Invention. intellectual-looking Thomas B. Dixon, a broad-browed, young man from Henderson, Ky., has accomplished what nearly all of the great- electrical in¬ ventors and investigators have failed to do—devised a practical sextuplate system of telegraphing. All of the tests, mado in the pres¬ ence of several experts, wbre loop tests. The sextuple* li as worked over * 800-mile circuit, and, with all sides in operation, the sounders responded to the key with marvelous distinctness. Induction is so thoroughly overcome by Mr. Dixon’s system that the differ¬ ent sides of the sextuple* worked as promptly and as clearly as a single wire. Allowing this test of the sextnplex system, which admits of three mes¬ sages going each way over the same wire, another loop circuit was rigged. This line went from Boston to Buf¬ falo and retnrn, and from Boston to New Haven and return, a distance oi about 1300 miles. Then the quadru¬ ple feature of the Dixon system was tried and the characters came as cleat and clean as the notes of a perfect bell. No quairuplex system in existence has ever been known to transmit char¬ acters clearly on all sides over such a distance of wire without the aid of a repeater at some intermediate station. Tests of the Dixon system have been made in all kinds of weather, and both tho quadruple* and the sextuplex, which are embodied in one, work well enough to keep the most nervous sender or receiver in good humor. Edison is said to be authority for the statement that the use of the quad ruplex system has resulted in a saving of $20,000,000 to one of the great telegraphio companies alone, and in these days of the increasing use of telegraphy Mr. Dixon’s invention means the saving of immense sums in wire construction and maintenance.— Boston dispatch to the Pittsburg Dis¬ patch.

An Old Cow Town. i It was one of the Jests of the later , West to aak a man, "What was your name back In the States?” but this waa never seriously done in the cow coun¬ try of the early times, because It might have been one of the things one would rather have left unsaid. Too much personal curiosity was not good form, and met with many discouragements. In short, the cow town of the good old tlmeB was a gathering of men of most heterogeneous sorts, a mass of particles which could not mix or blend. Of types there were abundance, for each man was a study of himself. He had lived alone, forced to defend him¬ self and to support himself under the most varying and trying circum¬ stances, very often cut oft from all manner of human aid or companion¬ ship for months at a time. Needing his self-reliance, his self-reliance grew. Forced to be independent, his inde¬ pendence grew. -Many of these men had been crowded out of the herd in the States, and had so wandered far away from the Original pastures of their fellows. They met in the great and kindly country of the old West a number of these rogues of the herd, and it was a rough sort of herd they made up among themselves. They could not blend; not until again the sweep of the original herd had caught up with them, and perforce taken them In again among its numbers. Then, as they saw the Inevitable, as they saw the old West gone forever, leaving no place whither they might wander fur¬ ther, they turned their hands to the ways of civilisation and did as best they could. In many cases they became quiet and useful and diligent citisens, who to¬ day resent the raking up of the gro¬ tesque features of their past, and have a contempt for the men who try'to write about that past with feigned wis¬ dom and unfeigned sensationalism.— The Chau tonoimn. _ Burglars Stole the Dynamite.
