FLORIN, PENNA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 0, 1901.
Some Necent 0dd Patents,
The summer season suggests all
ports of means of waylaying the pes-
tiferous insects of the city and coun-
try. Numerous inventors have applied
for patents on schemes for destroy-
ing the black, hard-shelled bugs which
congregate about the electric lights
mn cities and ave a terror and some.
thing of a menace to pedestrians, One
inventor has secured government pro-
tection on an insect trap which is liter-
ally a bughouse. This is a shell of
translucent material framed in the
shape of a small house. Some sort of
poisonous powder is placed in the in-
side, and the outside of the house is
smeared with an adhesive composition.
The equipinent of the home furnishes
a vast field fggmhe inventor. One of
the most interesting of the recent in-
ventions of home comforts is that of
a New Yorker who hasinvented a glass
bathtub made to set in a false bottom
which acts as a hot-water passage.—
Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post.
An Animal Curiosity,
There ave not. very many transpar-
ent animals, but recent studies of two
larval eels which possess this pe-
culiarity, and which belong to the Na-
tional museum, seem to show that
among the possible advantages of be-
ing transparent is economy in per-
sonal decoration. In ordinary opaque
animals the color markings are sym-
metrical on the two sides of the body
but this is not the case with the trans
parent eels. Each of them, when
looked at from one side, appears to
have seven large black spots arranged
at nearly vegular intervals along the
length of its body; but closer examina-
tion shows that in each case three of
the spots are on the left side and four
on the right, and irregularly spaced,
but in such a manner that, on looking
through the body, all seven appear i
a symmetrical row.—Youth’s Com-
panion.
The Southern Woman's Voice.
I think the reason southern women
have such deliciously soft voices may
be traced to the deference of the men
Southern men look upon their women
as angels, When a southern man’s
wife or daughter begins to talk she
doesn't have to yell for the purpose of
attracting his attention or getting
him to stop his story and give her a
chance. When a southern woma:
speaks the southern man is silent and
attentive. lle listens to her words as
if they were honey dropping to his
lips. This attitude of respect upon
the part of the man for the woman,
which seems to be yniygrsal through
the south, uakes the southern woman
the gentle, sweet-voiced creature that
she is,—J., Whitcomb Riley, in an In-
terview,
Indictment of London,

if You Are So Disposed You Cannot
Bequeath Your Corpse to
the Doctors.
The supreme court of California
has decided in a contest between next
of kin on the one hand and claimants
under a will on the other for the
possession of a corpse, that a man
cannot by will dispose of that which
after his death will be his corpse,
says the Chicago Chronicle. The cus-
tody of the corpse belongs to the
next of kin in preference to the ad-
ministrator. This view is based on
the fact that the general English and
American legal authorities establish
the rule that, in the absence of state
utory provisions, there is no property
in a dead body. :
1f this rule is correct, the sooner
statutory provisions are obtained en-
abling a man who feels that a great
benefit to humanity will accrue
through increase of medical knowl-
edge, by the continuance post mor-
tem of an investigation into his case,
or that new light may be shed upon
other scientific problems, to author-
ize by will such use of his corpse, the
better.
