V An Ohio man has invented a bicycle and automobile tire stuffed with rope and yarn. It is said that the method of produ¬ cing anesthesia by means of electri¬ city, discovered by Prof. Le Due of Nantes, Prance, is applicable to the painless execution of criminals. The fruit of the karite tree is now being handled in fair commercial quantities for the production of a cheap type of vegetable grease, use il for the manufacture of soap and candles. The natives of Africa hull the nut, which somewhat respfiibles the chestnut; mash and boil the kernels, skimming off the floating grease, which has also food value. On attaining full growth, the silk¬ worm stops feeding and throws out silken threads. The silk is formed in a fluid condition and issues from the body of the worm in a glutinous state —apparently in a single thread. From this silk the worm constructs its co¬ coon, an interval of from three to five days being required to complete its imprisonment in the envelope. In or¬ der that the silken strands may not be subjected to the danger of break¬ age by the moth emerging from the cocoon, the cocoons are steamed till the inclosed insects are dead. After this the silk may be wound off. Consular Agent Gustav C. Kothe of Cassel, an agency of the Frank¬ fort consulate, states that an archi¬ tect of that city has been granted patents in Germany and other Euro¬ pean countries and also in the United States for an invention for the manu¬ facturing of glass telegraph and tele¬ phone poles. The glass mass of which the’ poles are made is strengthened by interlacing and intertwining with strong wire threads. One of the prin cipal advantages of these poles would be their use in tropical countries, where Wooden poles are soon de¬ stroyed by the ravages of insects and where climatical influences are ruin¬ ous to wood.

As . far .' vacuum qfl possi ble all the different lamps were test¬ ed under the same circumstances, and it was shown that the long vacuum tubes were the most satisfactory and the most economical. While the vir¬ tues of this comparatively new meth¬ od are manifest, there are certain dis¬ advantages connected with their use which must be overcome before they can be generally accepted for service. The disagreeable color of the glow, which was very noticeable at first, has been overcome in a great measure and the system otherwise perfected. a Oxaluria,” a New Nerve Disease That he had discussed a new disease of the nerves, which he terms “oxai Uria,” before the recent international medical congress in Vienna, was stat¬ ed yesterday by Dr. Gustav Baar, of Portland, Ore. The physician was one of three representatives sent from this country to attend the biennial meet¬ ing of medical men. “I have determined that in many cases the breaking down of the nerves fore the congress I read a treatise "on large quantities of oxalic acid in the system,” said Dr. Baar. “This dis¬ ease I have named oxaluria, and be¬ fore the congress I read treatise on my discoveries and recommendations as to proper treatment. “For one thing, I believe that the so-called ‘rest cure’ will soon be a thing of the past as a treatment for nervous exhaustion. On the contrary a stimulation of the muscular ener¬ gies is needed and the patient will be more immediately benefited and ulti¬ mately cured.”—New York Herald. Took the Prayer Back. A very devout Presbyterian clergy¬ man in the middle west had just mar¬ ried a couple, and, as was his custom, offered a fervent prayer, invoking the divine blessing upon them. As they seemed to he worthy folk and not overburdened with this worU's goods, he prayed, among other things, for their material prosperity, and be¬ sought the Lord to greatly increase the man’s business, laying much stress on this point. In filling out the blanks it became necessary to ask the man his business and to the minister's horor he said: “I keep a saloon.” In telling the story to his wife af terward the clergyman said that as he wrote down the occupation he whis pered: ■ ■ Lord, you needn’t answer that prayer.”—Cleveland Leader. in Stern Chase. 11 Humph!

A revolution in the sending and receiving of telegraph messages is taking place throughout the United States, owing to the telegraph printing machines which are being installed in the metropolitan offices of the telegraph companies. In sending, the messages are “punched” or spelled out in the Morse characters on an endless tape, The tape is then fed into a sending ma¬ chine, where a wheel moves it along and in the right direction. The holes in the tape allow contacts to be made which control the receiving mechan¬ ism. The receiving machine is some¬ what like an electrically controlled typewriter. Electrical oontracts made through the holes in the tape cause the proper typo bars to be struck. So fast is this automatic working that the girl operators can receive and send from 200 to 400 messages In nine hours with one machine, The machines work duplex, two messages being sent at the same time.—-Popu lar Mechanics. A Cow Boy Breakfast. T. B. Sweet, a Topeka capitalist, stopped at Abileind in the early days at the hest hotel in the city. He asked for his breakfast. The waiters took no special notice of his appear¬ ance, or at least did mot guess that his appetite was different from the average patron’s. “Give me some eggs,” said Mr. Swe'et, and waited. In a little while the waitress came back. In a howl she had a full doz cn eggs, all hard boiled. Sweet gasped and ate What he could, protesting that she had brought him too many, and that he didn’t just know hnv, hard boiled eggs would strike him for his first meal of the day. “Why,, that’s a regular cowboy’s breakfast,” responded the waitress.— Kansas City Journal.
