INSTRUCTION AND ENTERTAINMENT OF A SCIENTIFIC NATURE-

A Very Simple bat Carioai Eleetriol Experiment That Will Furnish CongJdmble Amusement—EflMive Illustration ot the Indutrial Application of Kleetrlcity.

One end of a piece of «oft cotton string, about four inches long, is pasted, by means of a Kimll bit of paper, to the inside of tbe cylindrical gloss front of a show cd-v\ iu about the position shown at a in Fix 1. in such a manner that £. the string bangs freely down.

to side v/lth the back ot the band or with a dry silk handkerchief. The glass is thus electrified, and the string also takes a charge either by Induction or leakage, and is repelled by tbo rubbed glass. At each movement of tbo hantl the string sways from side to side, and finally, when the gloss is sufficiently excited, it curls up so as to touch the unelectrifled port of the show cue, at 6, as shown by the dotted lino.

If the finger is now held for a few moments against tbo glass at a, the String is discharged and is forthwith attracted up to the front of tbo caso iu tbo position shown by the dotted line at e. Pressing the finger again*'. the gloss at discharges it there, and the string quickly jumps away and clings to some placu that is still electrified. This action may sometimes be repeated five or six times before the glass is wholly discharged, tho string being made to fly to and fro until one is tempted to believe it endowed with life.

As in all experiments in frictional electricity, dryness is esKntlal to success, and if one's bands aro at all moist tbo experiment fails. In summer it is almost impossible to make the string do more than sway slightly when tho glass is rubbed.

Another experiment which is Interesting as on effective illustration of the industrial .. application of -lec1W tricity, is that of a firing blasts at a distance by means of an electric fuse.

elaborate apparatus is not required. The journal already quoted tells bow to perform it.

Wrap a short piece of very thin iron or platinum wire about the fuso of afire cracker, as shown in Pig. S at a. Stout oopper wires aro attached to the cods of tho thin wire, and led through tho window, on the sill of which tho cracker is placed. On connectine tho cooonr terminals th» i»i« ot battery, toe thin wire is heated to incandescence, tho fuso is lighted, and in a moment tbo cracker explodes. If it is desired to make the blast instantaneous, a pin bole is made through tbo middle of tho cracker, and tho thin wire is threaded through it so as to bo in immediate contact with tho powder.

For economy's sake it is better to uc iron than platinum wire in the^e experiment*. Very thin iron wire can bo bought on spools, and it may bo easily mado still thinner, if necessary, by immenring it for a few moments In dilute sulphuric or nitric acid.

Aoeeptanco of tho loetrlne at Evolution. The almost universal acceptance of thodoetrine of evolution by the scicctista who took port in tho meeting of tbo American association at Cleveland was a matter of considerable comment among those who were .unaware of tho recent progress of scientific thought. Tbo time has pained when the Darwinian theory was supposed to imply that man ware descended from monkeys—an idea never held by Darwin or anr other naturalist —and the great principle that existing forms of life have arisen by variation and development from simpler forms of organised beings previously existing, is coming mare and more into favor, and, in fact, now forms tho foundation stone of all biological investigations. A complete and satisfactory system of evolutionary philosophy is yet to bo formulated, and tho different theories advanced must them wives bo subject to natural •election and tho law of tho survival of the fittest but the fundamental ideas first advanced by Darwin, Wallace and Lamarck wore never inoro generally accepted by naturaliet* than at the present time.—Popular Science New*.

THE CURIOSITY SHOP.

The Meet Decisive Battle—It Was Fooght In Belgian. perhaps the most decisive battle at the world was that of Waterloo, Jane 18,1815, wbeo Wellington defeated Napoleon. Had the battle gone the other way the whole map of Europe would be different, as well as the history of the world for the last seventy y«ar&. Bat there were fourteen other decisive battles before Waterloo, a different result in any one of which would have changed the history of the world from what we know it to bf. Every nation has its decisive battle. Had Saratoga and York:town turned out differently we would have b?en English colonists, and there might have bsja no Waterloo.

The Gulf Stretua.

TJje main Gulf stream is said to end on the south side of tho banks of Newfoundland at all event*, the stream divides there, the larger branch crossing the Atlantic northward to the coast of northern Europe, passing the North cape and becoming undistinguishable near Nova Zembla. The smaller branch crosses eastward, carves southward between the Azores and Portugal, sending out smaller branches into the Irish and the Mediterranean im«« and joins the north equatorial current, with which it returns to the Golf of Mexico, and so completes the circuit. Thus the most northern point reached is near Nova Zembla, the most southern near the equator. It touches the United States, Newfoundland, the British Isles, Norway, Portugal and Morocco. The equatorial currents touch the eastern coast of South America and the western coast of Africa. The Japan stream touches Japan and Corea, Kamschatka and Alaska and the western coast of North America and the Mexican coast, flowing almost as far south as the equator.

Birthdays.

Ucoday for health, Tuesday for wetilb, Wednesday best day of aO, Thursday for crosses, Friday for losses Saturday no hick at all.

Tho lines refer to the days of the week as birthdays. They are, in idea, the same as the more familiar lines:

Monday's child is fair of fsco, Tuesday's child is full of grace Wednesday's child is merry and glad, Thursday's child is sorry and sad Friday's child Is loving and giving, Saturday's child must work for its living While the child that is born on the 8obbath day Is blithe and bonny, and good and gay.

Four Presidential Powers.

Articlo 3, section 2, of the constitution of the United States gives the president power to make treaties, by and with the advice of tbo senate to appoint ambassadors, judges, etc., to all vacancies occurring during the rectus of the senate. Section 1 confers on him the power to grant pardons in all cases except of impeachment By article 1, section 0, states may not make treaties, coiu money, mnkm anything but gold and silver a legal tender, pass any bill of attainder, or law impairing the obligation of a contract, or grant any title of nobility, levy any duty on imports or exports, except to carry out its inspection laws keep an army or a navy, or engage in war unless invaded.

Square Mile and Mile Square, In superficies there is no difference between a milo square and a square mile. A government section of land, for insUnce, is, a mile KjuarwpHid ll alio a sqwi 1QI16. But two sections of land are two square miles, not two miles square. It would take four sections to mako two miles square, and that would be equal to four square miles. Thus it will be seen that while thero is no difference in area between a mile square and a square milo, thoro is a very great difference between two miles squaro and two square miles. And so the difference vastly increases asthenum bens go on. Six miles square contains thirtysix squaro miles.

Mention of Christ In Hiatory. The principal writers about the time of Christ were Suetorius, Tacitus, Jcaephns and Pliny. Suetorius does not mention Christ, at least it is not certain. Tacitus does. In Josephus occurs a mention of Christ, a few lines speaking of His divine claims this, however, is now generally believed to be an interpolation by Eusebius, who lived in the Fourth century it certainly is not found in editions of Joseph us dated before the time of Eusebins. Pliny mentions a sect of Christians in Bithynia.

Control of the noose.

Prom December, 13S9, to December, 1875, and from December, 1881, to December, 1883, the Republicans had control of the house and from 1875 to 1881, and since 1883, the Democrats have had control. In the senate tho Reput m* had control from December, 1850, to December, 1881, and since December, 1888 from 1881 to 1888 the Republicans and Democrats were even in members, the balance of power being held by David Davis, who was cboeen president pro torn., and William Mahona __________

How to Treat Books.

"As good almost kill a man as kill a good book who kills a man kills a reasonable creature, God's image bat be who destroys a good book kills reason itself' is a saying of Milton's and furnishes an admirable text for thoee who do not know how to treat books. The same extravagant logic might be used in reference to the rough treatment of books which aro borrowed either from individuals or the public. Following area few rules for the thoughtless reader: ftever make a pencil mark on a book which is not your own.

Never turn down a leaf. Never touch a book except with Sngers scrupulous^ clean.

Never use it while eating a luncheon butter and crumbs will not agree wii its constitution.

Never throw it down when yon have done nsing it many a book has had its back broken by such a shock.

In short, regard the most shabby specimen of the bookmaker's art, when it belongs to another, with the same consideration which you would accord to a choicely bound volume of your own.

Forks a Modern Invention.

It is difficult to realise what a modern invention tho table fork is. Queen Elisabeth never heard of one. She had, it is true, a few dainty forks, perchance with crystal bandies, for eating preserved fruit at deggerfc. Dut iong after her* time dinner forkrllle unknown in England. The few early ^Todggs, of the reign of George I are three pronge^iy^dopT and but few of our neighbors can show four pronged forks much before the reign George III, from which time their fashion has remained unaltered to the present day, except for their handles, which have followed the fashions of spoons, finishing up with the familiar "fiddle pattern" of the Nineteenth century tue.

Before the days of forks the ewer and basin, which have now generally disappeared, were much in request after every course whereas now the basin alone, with a little rose water, makee it appearance at civic feasts after dinner, as a matter of fashion rather than necessity. Four out of five old basins have no doubt been melted up to supply the very forks whose invention rendered the washing of the fingers superfluous.

How to Crystallise Leaves and Flowers. In crystallizing leaves, twigs flowers, chestnut burs and other similar articles, Golden Days advises an observance of the following directions: Make a hot, saturated solution of alum by boiling in an iron kettl water to which is added as muoh alum as the liquid will hold in solution. An ere is indicated by the settling of the alum at the bottom of the kettle. Suspend the leaves or other material in this solution for a few seconds, and then hang op to dry. When this process is accomplished they will be covered with brilliant crystals. Repeat the dipping to insure a thicker coating.

Bow Indians ReejpHfcfnie.

Indians reckon time by|Hnr» of snow or the springing up of fiotQi£|phd the flight of birds announces the progress of the seasons. The motion of the sun marts the hour of the day and these distinctions of time are not noted in numbers, but in language and illustrations of highly poetical character. There is no word in the lied Indian language for the word "year." *r'1'

Tooth, beauty and freshness of voice being priceless possessions to women in the theatrical and musical world, they are naturally good judges of the best means of preserving the same, therefore the following advice to an actress, attributed to Adelina Patti, will be interesting to outsiders as well: "Take plenty of exercise take it in the open air take it alone and breathe with tbo mouth shut. Live on simple food all the fruit and rare beef yon want, very little psstry, a glass of claret for dinner, coffee in moderation, but never a sip of beer, because it thickens the voice and stupifies tho senses.

Bednclng and Increasing Weight.

Few people have the exact weight that a perfect standard would require, and while some are seeking to reduce too redundant proportions, others are striving equally hard to clothe'their bony frames with a comfortable covering of flesh. Each class will be interested in one or the other of the following lists from medical classics:

To reduce weight: Eat to the extent of satisfying a natural appetite of lean meat, poultry, game, eggs, milk moderately, green vegetables, turnips, succulent fruits, tea

-V Enemies of tho Ear. The ear has perhaps no greater enemy nor one more to be feared than the hairpin, unless it be its equally destructive friend the "ear spoon" or "ear cleaner." So affirms Dr. Charles H. May in Babyhood, and adds: "These two instruments are often employed to remove wax from the ear, whether it be in excess or not. It may be taken asasafe rule that whatever wax cannot be removed by the little finger, with its nail closely pared and enveloped by a single thickness ot a handkerchief or piece of soft linen, should be left there, or at least not removed by the mother. Hairpins and like domestic instruments often cause damage to the ear canal and even the drum membrane hemorrhage from, and wounds of, various parts of the organ of hearing are not infrequently met with by the aurist as a result of the mother's resorting to the use of these instruments and many an infant and child will be saved pain and further ear disease if these two domestic instruments are abolished from use in the nursery altogether.

What Causes Baldness?

Notable weddings that have recently occurred New York's most fashionable circles nave apparently settled this vexed question. At two of the most elegant church marriages that have yet occurred the bride was attended in one case by four and in the other b^«eigbt bridesmaids. It appears, therefore/, that the pretty and picturesque train of many bridesmaids is too firmly ert*tjfJisb&. among us to be suddenly ren« te&l, irad is a custom that bids fair to retain equujfltvar with the fashion of one fair maid of boSor only.

Ladles' Reception*.

As the jeason ot the receptions, dinners, lunches and teas begins, it beoomesa question of importance which mode to choose. As defltiii by good housekeeping, lunches are well sai&l to the entertainment of ladies, dinners to that of gentlemen and their wivea, while any form of dancing party well repays favors shown a yonng daughter or is a pleasant compliment to offer her guest or tbegneetof her friend.

Teasare delightfully social affairs and eepeciuly suitable where ladies alone are to be asked, ae they may take place at hours when—except kuoor larger cities—we may pre-suppoee that gentlemen are occupied with boshiesa. Where one's social debts axe many, and afternoon tea most fail of its greatest charm—informality—through becoming too-large, a reception answers the purpoaa exceedingly well.

Let ni take, for example, a ladies' reception. If-pay be given during any part of the aftJLsoon or early evening hoars, bat is meet suitable fromfoor toacven. ft is better, if possible, when sending invitations to late the panose, as'To meet Mias A.," or 'Ifttrici^or "Headings."

"While thus engaged on work so fine. Whore skill and patience must combine, How oft the thought must pain the heart, That after all your oare and art, The handsome work that oharms the eye Ere long must soiled and ruined lie."

"Oh, no you make a great mistake, As no such thought our rest can break For should there come a soil or stf In, No ruin follows in their train However deep or dark they show, The IVORY SOAP can make them go. And all the brilliancy restore And perfect beauty as before."

There are many white soaps, each represented to be "just as good as the Ivory' they ARE NOT, but like all counterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities of the genuine. Ask for "Ivory" Soap and insist upon getting it.

When lAwrenco Was Larry. Away bock in the ante-bellum days, when every city of any pretension hod its own stock company which supported tbo few stars who traveled in those days, J. II. McVioker visited Cleveland, Ohio, in order to fill an engagement for an eminent actor who was under his management.

With the aid of the local manager he cast the piece for the opening night from the regular stock company, but found that thero was one small part for which there was no actor left "Larry can plav that part all right," said the local manager 'Til send over for him. Bare, you Jiml run across tho street and tell Larry to come right over here as quick as can be." "Who's Larryf" inquired Mr. McVicker. "Oh! he's a young fellow who works in a printing office here and occasionally plays small parts for me. He'll do it all right."

In a few moments Larry arrived. Be was short of stature and of cadaverous features. Be was in his shirt sleeves and his bands bore traces of the composing room, which be had just left. Small men are apt to carry themselves very erect in order to atone, if possible, for their lack of height, but "Larry" carried himself so straight] that, to use a nautical term, be "raked aft." "Do you think you can get yourself tip in this role by to-morrow nightF inquired Mr. McVicker, bonding him a part of about two lengths. "Larry" cast a glance of ineffable seom at the manager, threw bis head a little further back and exclaimed: "Learn it? I should hope I could."
