Low rails on deep wooden stringers proved the most effective. A new camera of great importance, photographing for the llrst time the Interior or back of the eye, Is the pro ductlon of Dr. Wnltlicr Thorner, of llerlln. A tclcscope-IIke focusing glass gives accurate focus under tho mild Illumination of n kerosene lamp, and n flashlight Ignited by an electric spnik Impresses the Image upon tho plate. Tho pictures show tho varia tions of the eye In health anil disease, making It possible now to follow tho progress of disease step by step. With tho Bpeclal purpose of secur ing more accurate rccoids nt automo bile races than can he obtained with a stop-watch, tho Mors Company In Paris has constructed an electric ap paratus, which Is said to glvo excel lent results. Two sninll boxes, elec trically connected by wire, are placed one at the starting and the other at the finishing point. At tho start the wheels of the racers touching n wlro stretched across the track coubo a nee dle to form a dot on a band of paper driven at uniform speed by a chrono meter. At the flnlsh tho wheels, In n similar manner, causo another dot to be tnndo on the same paper. By measuring the distance between the dots the time elapsed Is ascertained. About a dozen years ago, M. Hlchtcr showed that tho mysterious Arcs In benzine-cleaning establishments nro duo to electricity, which produces spnrks as pieces ot wool aro drawn from the combustible fluid on .cool or dry dnys, and ho found that the spnrks could bo prevented by adding magne sium oleate even as little as 0.02 per cent to tho benzine. The reason of this remarkable effect of the oleate has not been understood. It has now been Investigated by G. Just at Karlsruhe, and he flnds that the conductivity of the bcnzlno Is very slightly Increased, this change being sufllelcut to prevent tho accumulation of dangerous electric charges. In pure benzine an electrode kept Its charge for minutes, whllo In the diluted oleate solution it refused to tako any charge. An Interesting instance of the man ner In which Insects sometimes assist the growth of plants without any In tention to do so, and whllo attending strictly to tholr own business, is fur nished by the history of a climbing plant which grows In the Philippines, and which has recently been described by Professor J. W. Harshborger of the University of Pennsylvania. At an early stage In Its career the plant, which, like other plants, begins to grow at tho ground, severs Its connec tion with the soil, and thenceforward lives with Its roots attached to dead bamboo enncs. It develops, in addi tion to other leaves, certain pitcher shnped leaves, Into the cups of which It sends n second set of roots. A spe cies of stnnll black ant frequents the pitchers, nnd Incidentally carries Into them minute fragments of decaying wood and leaf mold, from which tho roots Just mentioned derive a constant supply of food for tho support of the plant. 8P0RT8 IN GERMANY. WreatlliiK nnd "Heavy Athletic." Are Moat In Kuvor There. Vrestllng Is one of tho most popu lnr forms of athletic exercises In tier many, nnd it seeniB ns if tho heavy nnd muscular build of tho Germans peculiarly adapts them for this kind of sport. Tho general public Inter prets tho word "athlete" ns meaning a wrestler, weight lifter or "sttong man." When tho English stylo of nth letlcs wns Introduced Into Germany it wns termed "light nthlotlcsj" wrestling Is termed ns "heavy athletics," In every town thero are many clubs In dulging In "heavy athletics," and nu merous public contests nro arranged, In connection with which chnllcnges to "all coiners" are Issued. Here 0110 can often witness n pitched battle betwoan sclenco nnd hruto power see an "nil comer" of stupendous build, probably n butcher, brewer or furniture remov er, laid flat on both shoulder blades In tho most approved stylo by n llttlo wiry fellow as slippery as an eel. On the ocenslou of the world's champion ships held In Iierlln, un open aruim, roofed only In the center, whero the wrestling took place, wus erected, with tiers of seats for tho public nil round As luck would have It, tho weather proved boisterous nnd the public shy of tho fnir; tho championships ended dismally, und tho Impresario, unable to pay tho men's retainers, very tils- crcetly decided to "leavo town."

Russell Sago was talklug the other day about a dishonest but plauslblo broker. f "I have caught this man," ho said, "In a dozen shady transactions, though he has been ready to excuse himself." Mr. Sage smiled. Then he resumed: "lie reminds me of a chap who broke a plate glass window one day. As soon as ho had broken tbo window he hurried off as fast as be could go. Dut the shopkeeper bad seen him. The shopkeeper came after him aud grabbed him by the collar. " 'Aha, you broke my window, didn't you, eh?" be said. "Yes, and didn't you see me run ning home for the mouey to pay for It?' said the other." A Good Moheran.
