A Keystone Drill will penetrate the

THE ODOR OF SANCITY.
A French Writer’s Theory of How It
May Be Exuded by Man.
Dr. Georges Dumas is the aqtbor of
an article In the Kevue de Paris on
“The Odor of Sanctity." The writer
accepts as true the numerous reported
Instances of saints and mystics of the
Catholic church whose bodies after
deuth or during moments of ecstasy
emitted peculiarly pleasing odors of
various kinds. Then men and women
with whom such legends deal, argues
Dr. Dumas, were neurasthenes. and It
is not impossible that the aroma of
sanctity which surrounded them was
the product of strictly physiological
and chemical changes common to all
men, but present in highly intensified
form in subjects who. so to si»eak.
burned up the eandla^f their existence
at an unusually rapid vate. Ho says in
part:
“So far, then, we have come across a
great variety of perfumes—cinnamon,
clove, orange, pineapple, rose, violet,
illy of tho valley, yellow amber and
benzoin. Now. the natural constitu
tion of all uf these is well known, and
chemistry produces them daily for com
mercial purposes. We may therefore

the process of combustion is normal all
these constituents are burned up. com

water, carbonic acid and urea. But let
some slackening occur in the inmost

the inability to open the eyes, while
only one out of four enters into strong
hypnotic hallucinations. Further, not
every one Is well prepared to awaken
that confidence which is essential and
that feeling of repose which guides one
over to the dreamy state. The look,
the voice, the gestures, the phrases, the
behavior, of certain persons make them
poor hypuotizrrs, however well they
may understand the tricks. But in

everybody can love and can be loved,

MAGIC MIRRORS.
Peculiar Effects In Some of the Pol
ished Bronze Reflectors.
Now and then mirrors of a curious
kind are seen in Europe. They are
called “magic mirrors’’ and are of Jap
anese origin, made not of glass silver
ed, but of cast bronze, polished on the
face and bearing on the back raised
patterns, inscriptions, symbolical de
signs, crests or pictures. When ex
posed to a bright beam of light from
The sun or from an electric lamp they
reflect In the light froiq their polished
face the image of the pattern on their
hacks.
This is a purely optical property and
has of course nothing in common with
the fortune telling magic crystals of
the astrologer or the alleged magic
mirrors of necromancy, yet It long puz
zled the scientific optician and even
now is little known or believed. The
researches of various scientific men
have established the fact that the phe
nomenon is due to very minute differ
ences of curvature in the polished face,
differences so minute that they do not
affect the ordinary use of the mirror
as a looking glass and that can be de
tected only by delicate optical tests.
The only remaining mystery has
been as to how these delicate differ
ences of curvature were produced In
exact correspondence to the pattern on
the back. The makers themselves are
often in ignorance of the magic prop
erty and do not know which of their
mirrors possess it and which do not.
The mirrors are cast in molds and aft
erward polished by hand, and it is
held by scientific men that the differ
ence of curvature is caused by the met
al’s yielding unequally under that pres
sure of the tools used in scraping and
polishing, the thin parts naturally
bonding more than the thick. This ac
counts for the mirrors’ incoming
magic. Chicago News.

The Penalty of Prominence.
Dorothy’s father is a militia colonel,
and on a recent occasion she saw him,
in brave array, at the head of his regi
ment.
“How do you like your father in his
uniform?” the colonel asked his small
daughter that night.
"You looked handsomer than any
body else," said Dorothy loyally, “and
you held your bead up so high! But
i think they were mean not to let you
have a drum to play onT’—Youth’s

Witty and Caustic.
A woman suffrage lecturer, accord
ing to the Boston Globe, recently
brought down the house with the fol
lowing argument: “I have no vote, but
my groom has. I have a great respect
for that man in the stables, but 1 am
sure if I were to go to him and say,
‘John, will you exercise the franchise?*
he would reply, ‘Please, mum, which
horse be that?’ ”
