Are Ilure UleetrWlt on Torpedo Craft Improving the Phonograph. t'aes of II jdrophotd.t Knre. It bas been asserted by many Triondü of animals, who rightly objort to the annual torture and slaughter ol iogs, and even by some physicians, that there is no such disease as hyJruphobia, or rabies, as it is more rorrectly called. Those who have studied the subject carefully, however, tie certain that there is a di.-ei'.se ot ioS which is comintinicable by one suffering from it to other anirr.als and to man. Rut this disease is very rare, md probably not one person in a thousand bitten by dogs us in any danger 3f it. and no: one dog killed among SCO supposed mad dogs is really mad. The word hydrophobia is a misnomer, fcr a mad dog has no fear of water, and will run through a shallow pool without any" hesitation; the fear is that of drinking water or of walloping anything, either fluid or solid, is the attempt is almost certain to throw the sufferer, man or b:ast, into pasin?. The only v.y of transmit:ir.g hydrophobia is by inoculating; that is, by the introduction 01 the virus into the body through a wound 3f the kin or the mucous rneinbranf. The most usual way for this rare event to occur is, of course, through th bite of a rabid dog, cat, or other animal. Put not every bite, even of a genuinely rr.-.:d dog. is followed by hydrophobia. If tbe animal's teeth, for instance, have passed through a man's trouser leg or boot, the saliva, which contains the virus, may be wiped away from the teeth. Youth's Companion. ;i;ilr Planted 011 Uld Head. A Turkish physician has been IS' lie rim anting successfully on the trans- ; planting of hairs one by one to bald part of the scalp. His results r.eem to show that there is, no impossibility in th'" complete renewal of a lost head of hair by this nv-ans. The physician, Dr. Menahem Hodara, according to a foreign paper, tried his experiments in the vase of a disease that had removed part of his patient's hair. His plan was to scarify the bare surface and to implant thereon hairs removed from other parts of the patient's head. The hairs need for the purpose were trimmed with scissors at each end. Some, four weeks after implantation a certain number of the hairs were found to have taken root, and in no long time a goodly new crop was produced. Encouraged by th.es results. Dr. Hodara has since applied the method in other case; of baldness following avus, and he thinks himself justified In stating that "clinically there can be no doubt as to this very curious fact that small bundles of hair stems cut with M-istäors and impl tnted in the incisions made with scariScr can take root and ?ruv, forming in time long and viable hairs." Uy microscopic examination he has satisfied himself that after some weeks a ral new bulb forms at the lower end of the implanted hair. Dr. Hodara's results are interesting in tlipmselvess, and still more In the promise which they appear to offer of further results, undreamed of, or a. any rate unmentioned, by the ingenious experimenter. Why should not the same treatment be applied in cases of ordinary baldness? Many bald men would gladly submit to have their scalps plowed and afterward sown with ne-.v hairs if there was a reasonable hope- of even a moderate harvest. New York Herald. lmproTvl Window hde. The preseat type of window shade U defective in the respect that it is lit it; 1 1 often desirable to block of! the lower part of the window and yet to allow tho entrance of the light from the upper part. In order to accomplish this tbere lias been recently patented an adjustable frame to hold the shade, whitb permits of the shade being placed at any desired point. This arrangement has also the advantage that it Is interchangeable and one of these supporters made for a window of hUtndard size can be pliieed in any window of the same dimensions. The frame is made of wire, if desired, although a heavier metal is preferable, and tbe brackets for holding t h shade are t-oldAe, to it. Tbe frame rests at desired points on outwardly projecting arms, which engage with pins or grooves extending aej-os-: tu? grooves in which the frame is held. The operation of this device is clearly shown by the accompanying cut. The Invention i.-s that of William CJ. Tenipleton of Colorado Springs. Kepulrlnc tlit None. The operation of rhinoplasty is said to be a very common one at Heidelberg, (Icrmany, where the students have long had the ugly habit of slardi- I ing each other' noses in their frequent duels.

measurably destroyed, this skin then being totitchtd down on either side of the nose, and in time bo-omes grafted thereto. Skin grafting is als quite common in cases of severe burns. Small strips of skin are taken from the untouched parts and cut into small pieces, then distributed over the raw surface. In time they take root and grow, spreading until they eompbtely covtr the place. The skin of frogs, recently killed, for the purpose, is frequently used where human cuticle cannet be conveniently obtained. A Seaside Laboratory. In the American Naturalist. Mr. Kellogg gives a sketch of the "Hopkins Seaside Laboratory of tho Iceland Stanford, Jr., Cniversity' in tbe Hay of Monterey. The marine fauna tb.ero is abundant, being a mixture of northern and subtropical forms. Many of the mollusis. sea-urcbirs, and cephalopoda are collected by the Chineee fishermen, 'ii'ii canned, and sent to China, where y are used as food. "The Chinese boats go out by night with nets and pitchpine torches, which ar- hung over the boat's side to lure the squid. The squids aro dried and shipped to China to be used as teod and alco as fertilizer. Tbe duty on fertilizer in China is low, the duty on salt high. Hy mixing a little dried squid with a great deal of salt and calling it fertilizer a considerable amount of salt rinds its way into the celestial kingdom at a lov duty rate." I lour Itln and Sifter. In the flour and spice chest invented by Millard F. Hrown. of Kansas City, th inventor has endeavored to pto-
vide a convenient kitchen cabinet fo: fiour, spices and similar articles, and one which also offers a bin for the flour, which is proof against invasion of insects or any foreign matter. This is accomplished notwithstanding tho fact that a sifter is provided at. the bottom for the foir. The sifter is actuated by nreaos of a handle protruding through the bottom, but the opening through which the handle passes in its backward and forward motiorjfc is maintained in a elosed condition, to keep out insects and dust, by ntecnx of a shield which covers the hole but at. the satne Ihne move with the handle. .. . I :ir-f i-lrlty on Torpedo Cift. The Japanese government has teeently ordered four first class torpedo boats from the Yarrow?, and in one of them all the auxiliary machinery Is to be driven by electricity. This will not only result in economy of fi:l, but it will ald greatly to the safety of such a vessel, because, as Is well known by navy men, a wire fractured by a shot Is not only easity mended, bat it only stops the machinery to whi:h it is connected; whereas in the ea; of fracture of a steam pipe it eanujt be. mended with facility; and, worse than all, the escaping steam drives everyone out of the compartment. Improtlnc th Phonograph. On the principle of the sounding board, which repeats a sound at so short an interval that the original and the repeated waves impress the ear in unison, a device called the polyphone has recently been applied to the phonograph for the purpose ot doubling the volume of sound issuing from that instrument. A phonograph with the polyphone attachment has two horns, each provided with a diaphragm and stylus. Not only is the sound made louder, but itb quality is improved. Kcceut Invention. An improved piano stool can b raised or lowered as desired without the necessity of revolving it to turn t& screw, tbe cpmdle being hollow and containing one end of an L-shaped lever, which has a head to fit in holes inside the vertical bae, in which th3 spindle slider. A resident of Italy has patented a device for the prevention of seasickness, comprising a belt to be strapped around the waist, with a triangular pad attached to the inner face, o prevent undue motion of the internal organs when the ship rolls. Small change is easily carried in a new coin holder, which is formed of a piece of metal bent into U shape, with slots cut along the sides to fit the different sizes of coin, a spring wire being placed across the opening to prevent the coins from falling out. Hy the use of a new key old railroad spikes can be used in old spike holes, the key being formed of a strip of spring steel crimped along a portion of lis leagth, to press alternately on the spike and the side of the hole, thus binding the spike in place. A machine has been designed for rapidly moistening and scaling envelopes, having a feeding device which forces the envelopes singly across a roller dampened by a water reservoir above, with a hinged plate to fold the flap, after which the envelope is forced between rollers to seal it. Klecfricity n used to operate the type bars of a new typewriter, which has a magnet set in position to operate the levers when the keys are depressed a short distance, making it unnecessary to force the key down for the full stroke.

Nancy Hank's Loo to. The loom on which Miss NancyHanks, the mother of the great emancipator, Abraham Lincoln, did her weaving is now owned by Dan Smith of Garfield. The story goes that Nancy Hanks used to make regular trips from her home in Larue county to Stephensport. On her route she would stop and weave cloth for people. It seems that one of her customers, John Martin, came into possession of the loom, and at the sale after his death it was bought by old (Jeoige Rruington. In time he d.'ed, and the loom was fallen heir to by Mrs. Patsy Macey. At her death the place was sold to Mr. Smith, and the loom was put in with the other property. This loom is made of white oak, and all the parts are decayed, except the beam, which is about eight inches in diameter and tight feet long. Hreckiuridge (Ky.) News.
Winter In the f-outh. The season approaches when one's thoughts turn toward a place where the inconveniences of a Northern winter may be escaped. No section of this country offers such ideal spots as the Gulf Coast on the line of the Loufsvillc & Nashville Railroad between Mobile and New Orleans. It possesses a mild ! climate, pure air, even temperature and facilities for hunting and fishing enjoyed by no other section. Accommodations for visitors are first-class, and ! can be secured at moderate prices. The L. & N. It. P is the only line by which it can be reached in through cars from Northern cities. Through car schedules to all points in Florida by this line are also perfect. Write for folders, etc., to J. K. Ridgcly, N. W. P. A., Chicago. 111. True Geninft.
