The Smithsonian Institution is pr. paring a miniature model of the Tower of Habel for the exposition of Atlanta. It will be in all respects, so far as possible, a faithful reproduction of the famous original. The latter was the greatest of the many magnificent temples of Babylon, being one hundred and forty feet high. That does not seem much compared with the Washington monument, but people in those days were not accustomed to tall structures, and the ancient capital of Assyria was situated in the midst of a vast plain, where there were no natural elevations to serve for comparison. The model in question, says the Washington Star, will be five feet eight inches square on the first story. When it is stated that the first story of the actual Tower of Babel was seventy-two feet square, a notion will be given of the proportion. The original building was constructed in diminishing stories, each one being a smaller square than that beneath. This was a common style of architecture in Assyria, and from it evolved the Egyptian pyramid. The stories for the model are square wooden frames of different sizes, so made that they may be superposed one upon another. These frames, after being put together, will 1>e faced on the outside with a veneer of plaster of parts, which will imitate tlie sun-dried bricks of which the tower was composed. The building of the model is under the charge of Dr. Palmer. The work, however, is superintended by Dr. Cyrus Adler, who iias made an exhaustive study of the historic Tower of Babel. Mechanically speaking, the most difficult part of the job is the casting of the plaster of parts that is to imitate the bricks. Every brick on the exterior of the structure is represented and this is accomplished by making a single mold, I in which the little bricks are labori- ' ously indicated. From this mold many casts are made, and so the whole surface is covered. The Babylonians had no stone, and so they were obliged to employ for all their buildings such sundried bricks. They did not understand the use of molds for the purpose. Naturally, structures of such material soon crumbled and did not last very long. The Tower of Babel stood upon an elevated platform of earth six hundred feet square. This was surmounted and retained by a wall of bricks ten feet high. Both platform and wall will be represented in the model, which will be quite an imposing affair when finished. The stories will be painted in different colors, to imitate the original building, according to descriptions given of it in Assyrian literature. The first story was black, in honor of Saturn; the second story of orange, for Jupiter; the third story red, for Mars; the fourth story covered with plates of gold, for the sun; the fifth story white, lor Venus; the sixth story dark blue, for Mercury, and the seventh story covered with plates of silver, in honor of the moon. The old Babylonians were worshipers of the sun, and knew a lot about astronomy. The Tower of Babel was an observatory from which the priests gazed upon the stars in the heavens, drawing portents from them, presumably for sale at so much a portent. The model will have no windows, for it is not known whether or not the original edifice possessed any. Nobody, ns yet, has been able to discover how the houses of the Assyrians were lighted. It may be that all the light required for this mighty temple was admitted from the top, which was presumably open to the skj\ The stairs were on the outside, and not on the inside of the building. They also will be shown. In fact, no detail will be omitted that may help to give a notion of the exact appearance of this wonderful edifice of antiquity. DANGER IN THE USE OF SLANG.

MONON ROUTE

Experience in Jlrnoklyii Shows Peril In the Word "Hats." A new illustration of the dangerous confusion that often is created by the prevalence of slang is furnished, says the Brooklyn Times, by an incident reported in this morning’s news. A professional rat catcher went to a fashionable club the other evening, and at midnight he had bagged fifty rats. With the fifty living rats in a bag—for this professional scorns to kill any rats on the premises—he left the fashionable club and started home. Then appeared an unknown policeman, who said: “Where are you going?” “None of your business,” answered the rat catcher. “So that's your swag,” said the policeman, sarcastically, tapping the bag with his club. “Nary swag,” said the rat catcher. “What have you in the bag, then?” Here we come to the first crisis of the story, for the reply was “Bats.” The policeman then punched the professional for what he, perhaps reasonably, regarded as his impertinence. Moreover, he grabbed the bag and thrust in his inquumg, l.ai.d. ILre Coii.v., tiic second crisis of the story, for at least seven rats grabbed that hand. The policeman jelled, and shook off the rats, und, the other forty-three leaping from the bag, the street was soon full of rats. The poor policeman, with rats to the right of him and rats to the left of him and rats in an indefinite vista before and behind him, fled into the night. This is not the first time that slang has indirectlj 4 created confusion in the world. The rat catcher had no suspicion that the policeman would take his explanation amiss. This is the trouble. The slang that creates disaster is generally used unwittingly. Maj’ the present picturesque warning be heeded.

ORIENTAL CARPETS.

They Sometlmca Contain the Germs of Diffease. The origin of specific fevers is frequently a mystery. It appears that those vast emporia, dubbed magat ins do nouveautes, which enjoy an everincreasing popularity, may constitute dangerous foci of zymotic infection, and that the source of this may be traced to the far east. There are, in fact, says the London Lancet, good grounds for suspicion against the picturcsquely gaudy carpets manufactured bj- the natives which are nowa laj-s so extensively purchased. Could the buyers visit the unventilated dens in which the articles are woven by individuals whose notions of hygiene are of the crudest, they would hesitate before admitting them into their houses. I understand that several outbreaks of fever traced to this cause in Baris having been recently reported to the conseil d'hygiene, that body intends in future to take measures at the frontier calculated to counteract this danger. I maj- mention in this connection the instructive results (reported in a recent thesis) of the bacteriological examination bj- Dr. Trouskoliawski of ward literature, such as books lent to patients, report sheets. aJ;uission cards, certificates, etc. lie discovered on forty-six sheets an average of forty-three microbes per square centimeter. The mi-cro-organisms detected comprised specimens of Koch's tuberculosis bacillus, the streptococcus, and the pyocj-aneus. He further proved that on dry and previously sterilized paper the virulence of the cholera bacillus was maintained from a period varying from five to fourteen daj-s, and that the corresponding periods for the typhoid (Eberth's) bacillus, the diphtheria bacillus, and the streptococcus were sixtj'-three, thirty-eight and ninety-eight days respect ivelj’. RED TAPE ABSURDITIES. InKlancm In Which It Ha* Bronifht Hldlcule on the llrltlsh Service. Official red tape is nowhere more conspicuous than in the British war oflice, and this has led to many jokes being cracked about the high und mighty authorities who control the movements and actions of “Tommj- Atkins.” A writer in London Truth tells a story of an officer who, being moved from one station to another, sent in a bill in which was an item for “porter.” The item, after having exercised the intellects and received the indorsements of five successive officials at the war office, was not allowed on the ground that “porter" could only be allowed if taken under medical advice. The officer respectfully informed his superiors that the “porter” charged for was not drink, but the individual who had carried his baggage. The replj' was that this should have been entered as “porterage," whereupon the officer ventured to inquire whether if he took a cab this should be put down as “cabbage.” The sequel to the story is no less interest ing. The official to whom the cabbage joke was addressed was so incensed at this outrage on his dignity that he preferred a formal complaint against the jester for his misplaced flippancy. The usual amount of red tape having been spun, the offending officer was summoned to London from a verj- distant station to receive a wigging. He appeared before the then adjutant general, but that functionary spoiled his rebuke by bursting out laughing as soon as he approached the subject, and ended up by askingthc culprit to lunch. Having returned to his station, the officer next proceeded to send in his bill for the expenses of his journey to and from London to receive his wigging. It is paid this time without a murmur.

BAD FOOD AND TREATMENT.

In Those Lie the Cause of the Disappearance of American Sailors. For years the gradual disappearance of the American sailor and the substitution for him on American vessels, both naval and mercantile, and in both cabin and forecastle, so far as the latter is concerned, of foreigners inferior to him in every way have been sorrowfully noted by everj- writer who has had anj-knowledge of the subject. In days not very long ago, says the New York Times, to “follow the sea” was a profession that promised and gave profit as well as honor, and young men ct good furily-end fair.education entered it in iarge numbers. On many a ship eight out of ten of the crew could take an observation in ease of need, and every one of them hoped some day to command a vessel of his own. It fs the survivors of that period who are now in charge of the comparatively insignificant squadron that is left to represent a numberless fleet. When these are dead, there will be none to take their places, and American shipowners are already wondering where their new mates and captains are to conic- from. The same problem Is beginning to confront the English owners, so mauifestlj' it must be something else than their competition with us— the explanation usually given—that has driven men of intelligence and ambition out of the American merchant marine. Bad food and cruel treatment have had not a little to do with the matter in both eases.

A AVIftv Ilrtort. In theSwedish magazine Ordoch Bild, in a paper on Marshal Lefebrre and his wife, the inimitable Mine. Sans Gene, a storj- is told which shows that the brave marshal had on occasion as nimble a wit as his sharp-tor gued spouse. When, one day, he was irritated by the persistent boasting of a j-oung aristocrat of ancient descent, he stemmed the tide with the quiet remark: “Monsieur, since you arc cn prreat an admirer of ancestors, look at me. I am an ancestor.” j liutii Money In marriage Contracts. \mr>r\rr the Turks bath money forms an item in every marriage contract, the husband engaging to allow his wife a certain sum for bathing purposes. If it be withheld she has only to go before the cadi and turn her slippers upside down. If the complaint be not then redressed it is ground for divorce.

DEBT DODGING.

Devices and Schemes of Debtors to Avoid Collectors.

Humors of a Peculiar Phuoe of Life In the City—StFi*l 14 Who Prt on a Fine Appearance at the Kupenae of Tb«!r Tailors.

There 1.-, now and then a margin of real humor, if of a doubtful description, edged about the shifts and devices used bj- persons to avoid paying their debts. 21 o doubt such debtors might be distinguished roughly: Those who through misfortune cannot cope with their liabilities, ami those who systematically dodge their creditors because it is not in them to do the other thing —pay; but, says the Boston Traveler, they are Identical in the sense that both try to escape consequences bj- the exercise of a curious kind of wit. An indignant furniture dealer recently tickled the risible faculties in a police court by his statemout of how incredibly he had been tricked by a debtor of long standing. Having obtained a writ for distraint upon the goods supplied and not paid for. he and his legal agent reached the debtor’s house, to And it apparently abandoned. The lower windows were blotched with whitewash, and upon one of them was traced the legend: “To Let." Naturally concluding that his bird had flown the neighborhood to avoid him, he promptly expended quite a considerable sum in fruitlessly trying to trace the delinquent's whereabouts. Finally ij occurred to him that his debtor's late landlord might be able to supply a hint, and to him he went. Imagine his amazement when he was coolly informed that the house in question had never been “to let,” and that the debtor was certainly still within it, as his (the landlord’s) agent had called for and received Ijis rent only a few days previously. They went at once to solve the problem, and then the element of mystery dispersed. It appeared that the wily occupant, having timely warning of his creditor’s coming, had shifted lus familj- and his goods to the top rooms, smudged the windows and imparted a general air of emptiness to the house, and remained snugly aloft until, as he imagined, his creditor would give up the debt as a “bad” one. Being cornered, he had to pay, and was now sued for the costs of the hunt--which, as no attempt at fraud in a legal sense could be proved, he managed to escape. Bather neat, too, was a trick of a different kind played recently by a swell, who was “wanted” in the matter of an outstanding tailor's debt. Tapped on the shoulder as he went to enter a city restaurant with a party of friends, he was informed that a vehicle waited at nand for his safe conduct to durance vile. The situation was awkward, but his wit and experience made him equal to it. He left his friends with a cool aside to the effect that he would return and dine with them in a few minutes— and was as good as his word. lie simply requested his captor to Irive to "his father's oflice,” where, he loftilj* said, the trumpery debt would be settled to full satisfaction. Accordugly tjiey drove to the office indicated. The officer entered with the warrant and his myrmidon remained at the enranee to guard against surprises. But the debt was not settled on that occasion. The defaulter coolly opened the door of the first room he came to, ushered the other in, whipped out the key from the inside, slipped out, locked the door, quitted the building bj- anJther exit, and drove off to keep his appointment. The rooted objection, to put it mildly, that some people evince to squaring pecuniary accounts until the law steps in and compels them is sometimes incomprehensible. One man of this class, well known to the writer as a person able to pay for his extravagances, spent half his time in dodging and balking creditors to whom he owed ■omparatively trifling sums—purely, it seemed, for the love of such dodging. Some time back several writs were out for the arrest of this person, but for weeks he succeeded in eluding the holders bj- all manner of unexpected tricks. It so happened that one day, however, while leading one warrant offl-•t-r a dunce in Un: network of SGreeus. he ran into the arms of another, and was immediately clapped into a cab and driven to jail. On the way thither he begged to be allowed to get some light refreshment before tasting prison fare, and as lie himself suggested that his coat sleeve should be securely fastened to that of the officer, the latter consented, and accompanied him into a hotel for that purpose. The sequel, in some respects, was a highly farcical one. One glass (apparently .vithout design) led to another, and the defaulter spent almost ...•> much money in making both cab-driver and eapturer intoxicated upon whisky as would have enabled him to settle the debt in the first place. That done. Incut the fastenings and quietly walked off. Street Railroad KtatUtlra. Recent statistics of the street railroads in the United States show that they number 070, with 20,3“8 miles of track and 41.715acars. Electricity is used on 10,303 mi^s, which shows how rapidly all other methods of propulsion ire being dl«p1n"ed. The eaphall/ption of these roads, including stock and bonds, reaches the remarkable sum of *0.’,000 per mile of track, whereas tb - capitalization of the steam railroads of the country is only f.70,032 per mile, which signifies that there is a good deal t>i wuici iu street railroad securities. Sulphur in Popocatepetl. The crater of Popocatepetl contains I thmiftflnds of tons of the purest sulphur ever mined. The natives who gather the sulphur secure small packages of it, which they fasten to their backs. Then they slide down the snow on the mountain, after the manner of the wood-cutters of France. For this venturesome v^ork they get about twenty cents a day;

PLAYING TENNIS BY PROXY.

How Languid Men May Escape the Fatigues Incident to the Game. “What’s wanted,” said the summer man, as he shifted himself slightlj- in the hammock, "is some way to lighten the arduous work of outdoor sports. See what we have done with baseball —hired men to plaj' it for us, and changed it from a disagreeable anil fatiguing labor to a delightful pastime, the exertion of cheering for the home team and applj-ing abusive and opprobrious epithets to the umpire giving the muscles just the proper plaj - and bringing a healthy glow to the skin. But tennis we still plaj- in the manner of the dark ages.” “Well,” replied the other summer man, according to the New York Tribune, “we can easily hire men to play that, too, no doubt.” “Tut, tut; that won’t do." said the other, earnestlj-. “We must not lose the amateur element in tennis. Professional tennis cannot he thought of. But science and mechanical invention maj- be called in. Next season I shall introduce the ABC automatic tennis apparatus. At the proper distance each side of the net and parallel with it I shall place several slender metal rods a few inches from the ground. On these I shall string rackets bj f holes through the ends of their handles, so that they will lie flat on .the ground, something like the scales on a fish, onlj" not quite so thickly. The thing will bo operated bj r electricitj-. I’ll have a key board for each side—press a key and up flies a racket. Ball knocked back and forth fortj r times a minute. Plaj' j-ou a game year from to-day—you in that hammock, I in this. Beautiful, simple, quick and easy. Everybody w-ill be plaj’ing tennis with the automatic apparatus inside of three months after I put it on the market.” “Could j-ou not applj’ the idea to billiards?” asked the other. “My dear fellow, would you go with out with a palette and a maulstick and paint the lily? No, sir; the game of billiards is too fragile and beautiful a thing to he touched by mechanics; it must ever continue to be hand-played.”

GLASS IMITATION OF WOOD. The Proce:i8 by Which the Deception Is Accomplished. A patent has been taken out for a singular but ingenious process for making glass veneers. The invention relates primarilj' to the production of ornamental glass, which may be either semi-transparent or opaque, and is made to represent highly polished wood of any description. When used for veneering, it is particularly adapted for vestibule and other doors, the exterior of the glass having the appearance of polished wood, while in the interior of the house it shows semi-transjiarent. The process bj’ which the material is produced is to cloud a sheet of ground or plain glass on one side with a liquid dj-e of the proper color to represent any desired wood. The dye is applied by means of a sponge, which is so manipulated as to bring out the semblance of the grain of the wood upon the surface of the glass. A badger brush is used to soften the shading. The glass is then covered with photographers’ varnish. This leaves the grain clear and fast, without the necessity of using any gelatinous substance, which would render it liable to crack and spoil the effect. To complete the operation, the glass is slightly heated, and the vai ious shades required for the particular wood to be imitated arc caused to flow over it by means of a sj-ringe. The merging of the shadings into each other is prevented bj- the heating of the glass. The whole is made semi-transparent bjthe application of another coat of photographers’ varnish, which preserves and protects the dj-cs. The exterior surface then presents the appearance of a finely-polished, solid wood finish. THE COMING MAN. Probable Eflect of Wheeling on the Haman Form. Since everybody has gone to bicycling a very pretty subject will be opened to the biologist, if the sport only keeps up its popularity for a hundred years or so, saj-s the New York Herald. 1 f it ceases to be a sp’ort in itself and comes to be so intimately connected with the problem of existence that the man .rh j ride..- a wheel -rtnads :i butterchance of getting a living than the man who doesn’t it is easj- to see that the human figure will he modified. The handsome man or handsome woman is the one whose figure is best adapte’d to doing his or her duty in the station of life unto which it shall please God to call him or her. In such a case, then he will be an Apollo who has a crimp in his backbone just above the hips, a graceful forward bend alongtho spine, an upward kink at the neck and shoulders thrown well forward. He will have calves like Indian clubs or the drumsticks of a verj- mature turkey, and he will toe in very decidedly. This is supposing that the bicj-cle continues on its present lines. The tendency is to make the tread narrow— that is, to shorten the sprocket axle, so that the pedals are closer together. This gives a better purchase and the cranks aren’t bent so casilj-. Naturally a man who gets over the ground bjpushing with the hall of his foot must too in, particularly if ho remembers that his heels may rip loose a few wire spokes in the hind wheel and make lots of trouble. Bv about 1995 the typical man will look very much unlike Apollo Belvidere. Frozen Nalmon. Frozen salmon is an article which is not unlikely to supersede the tinned product both in Australia and England. It is proposed to send the whole fish from British Columbia to Sydney, where it will he transhipped to London, j \Yc fear that the Loadou dealer could hartliy assure the purchaser that it was “fresh out of the water" with a clear conscience, unless he inwardly justified himself by regarding ice as water, but if it can be brought here in good condition the fish in its integrity will doubtless be preferred by many 1 to the tinned preserve.
