NEWS AND COMMENTS THAT ARE WORTHY OF CONSIDERATION.

An Illustrated Description of Touring and Holding Water In a Steve Which Affords a Pleasing Example of .the CajgLllarity of Cohesion.

A cap Ls made of No. GO gauze. The are Joined bj soldering, and the bottom has its edges beat upward, and is also soldered in place It then heated, when perfectly dry, and thoroughly coated with parafflne. This fills the meshes. When sufficiently coated, it is again heated, and the parafflne is expelled from the meshes by sharply blowing against them.

povatna water into a sieve. If the cup is held as shown in the cut, explains Scientific American, and water is poured into it very gently and along one of its sides, there is no difficulty in filling it to the depth of three inches or more with water. This illustrates water held in a sieve. If a finger of the hand holding the cup is wet, the water as it rises to the level of the moistened part will at once rush out. If, when the cup is full, the wet finger is rubbed on the bottom, this will be sufficient to cause the water to escape. The cup will float upon water for an indefinite |ieriod, but if inverted placed like a diving bell, will at once sink.

The water in this experiment practically forms a film or membrane, not touching the wire gauze and holding the lody of the water together. The figure on the upper part of the cut is an attempt to show bow the water rests upon tho wires. The little film is bowed down between every two wires, forming a species of sac.

The experimenter must remember to have his haud |ierfcctly dry. It is very curious, as the water rises, to feel its chilling effect through tho wire gauze without the hand being at nil moistened.

Signaling at Sea.

It is announced that Great Britaiu, France, Germany, Spain, Italy. Denmark, tho Netherlands Norway and Sweden, Brazil, Uruguay, Chili, J»ian and tho Sandwich Islands have signified their intention of sending representatives to the international conference which is shortly to lie held to consider some means of signaling at sea that will render collisions less liable to occur than under the present system. The proposed conference is tho result of a letter addressed to the different maritime jxwers of the world by the pnwideutof the United States, asking their co-operation in this matter. Tho date and placo for holding tho meeting yet remain to be fixed.

The exterior of tho baga is like any pnj)cr bag, but the interior surface is lined with a thill film of line parafllne wax, that, it is claimed, renders the Iwi'* cubstnntinlly air tijrht and water proof. The cost is but ti trifio more than that of the common lag,

Then the air, being denser, contains nioiv oxygen in an oqual volume, and that gas hying quickly supplied, the combustion is fiercer ami more perfect. In frosty weather, too. tho atmosphere is com |a ratively free from moisture, which, of course has tendency to damp a fire.

a scuumnc kxpimjont.

But this can be shown without the aid of an air pump by cutting a circle of paper a little smaller than the coin, placing it upon the upper side, and allowing both to drop together from a horisouto3 position (Fig. 1). The paper, says La Nature in explanation, is protected from the action of the air by the coin, and both will reach the floor at the mum momenta If. on the contrary, the coin and paper are separated from each other, and dropped at the same time (Fig. 2), the lighter body will i» ret *ed by Hie friction of the air, and will be ch longer in reaching the floor than tfca heavier one.

THE CURIOSITY SHOP.

"Shine 'Em Up"—How Boys Put Diamonds on Boots. "Did it ever occur to you," said a chemist, "what a remarkable and unique process the blacking of boots is! You see we smear the -boot with a preparation of boneblack, which is entirely devoid of luster, and then by the friction of a dry brush make it shine like the sun. There is not another process like this anywhere in the arts, so far an I know, and 1 never read anywhere any scientific explanation of the process. I have a theory of my own, however, which I will give yoa for what it is worth. The key to the mystery lies in the fact that a diamond is nothing crystallized carbon. The blacking is ali more than carbon paste, and the friction of hairbrush being one of tho most efficient methods of generating electricity, has the effect of crystallizing the carbon of the blacking. As soon as this is done tho boot is covered with millions of infinitely small diamonds, and, of course, begins to shine as a niasB of diamonds would. Of course, this is not a perfect explanation of the phenomenon.

The Primitive American.

The environment read from geology indicates that the Trenton man was a hunter or fisherman who used and lost the primitive tools of his mysterious craft within the wa ten rather than upon the land, and thus ap[ears to materially narrow the range of hypothesis as to his activities but the extravagance in labor indicated by the vast numbers of unworn implements suggests that the rapid modification in environment and occupation accompanying the ice invasion outran the resulting modification^ in appliances, and that the implements were really invented on land and were but ill adapted to the new condi tions and the introduction of a new type of implement during the brief epoch of gravel deposition gives support to the suggestion.

So the margin of the cloud enveloping the beginnings of human life in America is slowly lifting. Already there is definite and cumulative evidence of man's existence during the latest ice epoch, with a strong presumption against an earlier origin than the first quaternary ice invasion. Already it is known that the primitive American haunted the ice front rather than the fertile plain, and must have been hunter or fisherman already his environment is so well known as to partially elucidate liis activities, but the first traces of the autochthon yet found tell of an intelligent being who dominated the animal world as does his descendant, and thus the mystery of man's intimate origin even at this late day remains enshrouded as darkly as ever.

Motes lif a Sunbeam.

Counting the dancing motes in a bar of sunlight sounds like one of those hopeless, never raiding tasks with which malignant fairies delight to break the spirit of little heroines in the German folk stories. Something more than this, however, has been achieved by modern science, which is now able to count the particles floating in any given portion of the atmosphere and determine what proportion of those are dangerous germs and what are mere dust. Dr. FYankland's curious experiments have shown us how to count the micro-organisms, and now John Aitken, of Falkirk, by a totally different method, has been enabled to take stock of the more harmless but hardly less interesting dust motes. Thirty thousand such particles have been detected by him in the thousandth of a cubic inch of the air of a room. In the outside atmosphere in dry weather the same measurement of air yielded 3,119, whereas, after a heavy rainfall, the number was only 521. That this power of prying into atmospheric secrets will eventually yield very important results must be obvious to all. Among the most curious discoveries already made is tho direct and constant relation between dust particles and fogs, mist and rain.

Laying the Cable.

It has been askod which was the first steamer that tried to lay tho cable, an«l which steamer was finally successful?

The U. S. S. Niagara and H. M. S. Agamemnon each took one-half of tho cable the Niagara was to lay tho first half from Valentin to the middle of the Atlantic, where the Agamemnon would begin. The cable parted, however, ou Tuesday, Aug. 11, 1857, before tho Niagara had laid Its half. A second attempt was made in Juuo, 1858, with the Niagara and Agamemnon again, but again it failed. In July third attempt was made as at tho second trial, the two ends were spliced in inidocean, and the two vessels started away from each other. Tho Niagara landed her end at Trinity bay Aug. 5, 1858 tho Agamemnon landed hers in Don 1 us bay, Valentin, on the same day. The cable died, however, in Sept. 185S. in ISG5 tho Great Eastern took on board tho wholo of the third cable, made a landing on July 28 at Voleutia, and sailed ou Sunday, July 33, 1S5S. The cable broke on Aug. 1, 1S65. Tho Groat Eastern grappled for it, but failed. In 1S06 tho Great Eastern started again, leaving Valentin ou Friday, July 13 a lauding was made at Heart's Content, Newfoundland, on Friday, July 37.

Old Bank Motes.

Tho oldest bank notes are the ''flying money," or "convenient money," first issued in China, 2607 B. C. Originally these notes were issued by the treasury, but experience dictated a change to the banks under government inspection and control. A writer in a provincial paper says that the early Chinese "greenbacks" were in all essentials similar to the modern bank notes, bearing the name of the bank, date of issue, the number of the note, the signature of the official issuing it, indications of its value in figures, in works and in .the pictorial representation in coins or heaps of coins equal in amount to its face value, and a notice of the pains and penalties of counterfeiting. Over and above all was a laconic exhortation of industry and thrift: "Prodi.x all you can spend with economy.1* The note was printed in blue ink on paper madefefrom the fiber of thetaaulberrr tree. One issued in 1390 B. C. is still carefullv preserved in the Asiatic museum at St. Petersburg.

Parlor or Drawing Room.

The word parlor has become somewhat infrequent in ntoderu parlance. A pretentions house today has its drawing rooms, its reception rooms, its mask rooms, its library and its boudoirs: within its sjiacious walls is no room for narlor. The small city home has its rece.K room and dttifig room- -the former too small for a j«urkr, the latter of too general u*- hence riao room fear the parit.

YOUNG FOLKS' COLUMN.

FOR THE SPECIAL ENTERTAINMENT OF OUR GIRLS AND BOYS,

Beautiful and Intelligent Irish Setter, Which the Jiew York Girl Who Owns Her Says Is the Nicest Dog That Ever lived. A school girl writing from her home in Brooklyn to St. Nicholas, about her own pet, attention to an exceedingly fine race of dogs, viz., the Irish setter. The Irish setter is the most popular of all the setters, of which there we several varieties. For endurance, no setter can compare with the Irish, and they are as quick as lightning.

maiden's letter following is a copy of it, along with the picture of "the nicest dog that ever lived" and her family: "I have a very beautiful Irish setter dog named 'Glenchora,' for a pet. Her great great grandfather, 'Blarney,' 'is the finest Irish setter in the world. "She is very intelligent, and kuows a great many tricks. I think her cutest one is if you put a piece of meat or cake before her and tell her, 'It costs money,' she will not take it until you say, 'Paid for.' She also sits up, speaks and shakes hands. Every morning she brings papa's paper to him, and if she wants to go out she brings either his hat or cane to him, if they are within reach. And, altogether, we think her the nicest dog that overlived. V, "The picttire which I inclose of her and her family is a perfect likeness." _..

An Easy Experiment in Chemistry. Cut threo loaves of red cabbage into small pieces, and, after placing them in a basin, pour a pint of boiling water over them, letting them stand an hour then pour off the liquid into a decanter. It will be of a fine blue color. Then take four wine glasses—into one put six drops of strong vinegar, into another six drops of solution of soda into a third the same quantity of a strong solution of alum, and let the fourth glass remain empty. Fill up the glasses from the decanter, and the liquid poured into glass containing the acid will quickly chauge to a beautiful red that poured with the soda will bo a fine green that poured in with the alum will turn to a pretty purple while that poured into the empty glass will remain unchanged.

GLENCHORA AND HElt FAMILY,

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.

A Jiew Hypnotic Devoid of the Disadvantages of Narcotics and Bromide*. Anew hypnotic of late receiving attention in mediral journals is sulphonal, which i6 described as occurring in the form of large, fiat, colorless crystals, devoid of taste and smelL Sulphonal is soluble in eighteen to twenty parts of boiling water. In tepid water the solubility is only about one to one hundred. The crystals dissolve more readily if alcohol and alcohol mixed with ether. According to Professor Kast, of Freiburg, sulphonal is an hypnotic pure and simple. It does not compel sleep through a paralytic effect on the nerve centers nor through a profound impression produced upon the vascular system. From numerous experiments on animals and many clinical observations on man, the action of this new remedy would appear to consist merely in the intensification of those factors that lead to natural sleep in the physiological sense, or in supplying the periodical desire for sleep in those cases where it is wanting. It is for this reason, probably, that the range of applicability of sulphonal is a more limited one than that of 'some other drugs employed as hypnotics. But sulphonal has none of the disadvantages inherent in the deadly narcotics, and it is much more reliable than any of the bromides. This new body does not disturb digestion, it is not constipating, it has no unpleasant after effects, it is perfectly harmless, it does not invite tho formation of "a habit," and, finally, it does not appear to lose its efficacy, eveu when employed for along period. $ v,**

That Ache in the I luck.

An Albany physician is quoted, according to Scientific American, as declaring that Americans suffer more generally from Bright^ disease and nervous disease than any other people, and he says the reason is that Americans sit down so persistently at their work. He says: "Americansare the greatest sitters I ever knew. While Englishmen, Germans and Frenchmen walk and exercise, an American business man will go to his office, take hi? seat in his chair and sit there all day without giving any relief to the tension of the muscles of the back. The result is that these muscles surrounding the kidneys become soft and flabby. They lose their vitality. The Sidneys themselves soon become weak and debilitated. If Americans would exercise .noro, if they would stand at their desks rather than sit,, wo would hear-less of Bright's disease. I knew of aNew York man who had suffered for some years from nervous prostration until it was recommended to him that he have a desk at which he could stand to do his work. .Within a year he was ono of the healthiest men you ever saw. His dyspepsia and kidney trouble had disappeared, and ho had an appetite like a paver." "ji

When Medicines Are Best Taken. A French medical journal gives the following advice about the administration of medicines:

Alkaline medicaments should be given bofore meals. Iodino and its preparations should be given during fasting, wheu they become rapidly absorbed in their own forms, and do not undergo the changes caused by the presence in tho stomach of food, acids and starchy materials. Acids are best taken midway between meals, when they become rapidly diffused, If, however, it is desired to limit tho production of gastric juice, they are given "just preceding a meal. Arsenic, copper and like irritants come after meals likewise cod liver oil, phosphates and malt preparations.

s, How to Slake a Poultice. There ore so many people who cannot make a poultice that Dr. Abernethy's method may be serviceable. Scald a basin, put in coairsely crumbled bread, and pour over it boiling water. Wheu it has soaked up as much water as it can take in, drain well, and then will be left only a light pulp. Whothor the poultice is of bread or linseed, it is better to spread it thin, and to renew it often, the weight being an objection to the patient. A mustard poultice is best with part linseed mead and a little vinegar. Oil the outsido of tho cloth, and it will in a great measure provent blistering. 1

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.,^

MwVes of Entertaining—The Finest Tact to Make Every Oue Feel at Home. In commenting upon the lavish expenditure with which some ]eople entertain, Mrs. Admiral Dahlfpvi affirms that this is more apt to "detract from than to increase tho pleasure of the occasion. In the exercise of a preiierous hospitality we assembli a certain selected number of congenial people for a common enjoyment. Ic is pfsuant to be credited with good taste and to succeed in what we undertake, but it is not to bo supposed that we invite society in order that th?y may become painfully awaro that our manner of living is grander than theirs.

Rest assured, says Mrs. Dahlgren, that if people go away from your house with an uncomfortable feeling that it is impossible for them to excrcise the same kind of hospitality, some mistake has been made. Tho finest possible tact is to make every one to feel at home, and both host and hostess should spare no effort in that direction. The hostess should be quietly attired, so that she shall not outshine her guests. For the time being those whom you invite to your bouse belong to it. You are bound to look after their comfort in every way, and to protect them, if, ueed be, from any slight 8imply to invite people to'come to your house and then permit them to take care of themselves is not American hospitality. With us it should be the privilege of both host and hostess to use their discretion as to introducing people, and to assert with dignity the equality of their guests. In a republic, when we meet socially, we should meet as equals aud make no invidious distinction.

If they only knew the impreariOB gives, they would surely drop the slangy speech and insane giggles with which they enliven conversation among themselves.. Girls of the present day need not adopt the formal speech and manner of a bygone age, but they should learn to display the simple dignity which always marks a f. tiewtxnan. Loud talking in public pin""*, urnleas misuse of language and pushing uannef* may all be -ced among girls from hem better things might be expected.

Longevity.

Scientific men see no reason why the span of human life may not be extended to around hundred years from the present limit of seventy to eighty years.

The age to which persons lived varies in Old Testament chronology. $ From Adam's time to that of Methuselah and Noah, men are recorded as attaining to well nigh the age of 1,000 years. The Psalmist David, however, says: "The days of our age are threescore years and ten and though men be so strong that they come to fourscore years, yet is their strength then but labor and sorrow so soon passeth it away, and we are gone."

This wide margin of longevity, together with proper observance of mental, moral and physical laws, leads investigators to believe it is possible that human life might be made to increase in length of days to a full century, at least. Moderation and regularity in eating, drinking and sleeping are conducive to longevity, and those who observe proper habits and use pure and efficacious remedies when sick, may accomplish immense labor with no apparent injury to themselves and without foreshortening their lives.

Hon, H. H. Warner, President of the Rochester, N. Y„ Chamber of Commerce, and manufacturer of the celebrated Warner's Safe Cure, has devoted much time and research to this subject of longevity, has arrived at the satisfactory conclusion that life may be prolonged and man's virile powers increased and preserved at the same time by rational and natural means. Thousand of persons are blessin who efficacy of Warney's Safe Cure in restoring them to physical potency and to the normal type of constitution, after they had almost given up hope of life.

After middle age, many begin to lose their wonted vigor of body, and thereupon give way to inertness and useless repining. Yet all such have within reach that which both renews youth and contributes to the prolongation of life. Warner's marvelous Safe Cures are in every drug store, and are now regarded as standard specifics throughout the civilized world.

The strong desire to attain old age— mexntime retaining the virile powers of body and mind--is is necessarily connected with the i-cspect paid to aged persons, for people would scarcely desire to be old, were the aged neglected or regarded with mere suftorance. That is a high civilization in which age is made a source of distinction. Of all marks of respect, that to age is most willingly paid, because every one who does homage to age may himself, eventually, become an object of such homage.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the couutrv than all other diseases put together, and until the last fatir years was supposed to be inourable. For a great many years Doctors pronounced it a local disease, and proscribed local remedies, and by cbnstantly failing to curp with looal treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease,1 and therefore constitutional treatment. Hall Catarrh Cure, manufactured, by F. J.

IIR1EAKFAST.

"By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operations of digestion and nutrition, and by a careful application of the fine properties of well-selected Cocoa, Mr. Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a delicately flavored beverage which may save us many heavy doctors' bills. It ls by the judicious use of such articles of diet that a constitution may be gradually butlt up until strong enough to resist every tendency to disease. Hundreds of subtle maladies are floating around us ready to attack wherever there fs a weak point. W« may escape many a fatal shaft by keeping ourselves well fortified with pure blood and properly nourished frame."—{Civil Service Gazette.
