place, and is complete system of drain age, composed of enormous porous stoneware pipes, a metre ill length, four teen centimctres in diameter, and only two in thickness. This was done to dry up plain intended for military manevres. Next come inclined planes expressly laid down on substantial foundations, and near the top of mountain, in order to collect rain-water on large surface, with a basin to purify it and cisterns to preserve it. This was done to provide the town of Segni with potable water. Then follow cOntrivances of the ancients for turning the water Altering through porous ground into the aqueducts by turning the clayy strata to account. They used also to rid water of it's carbonate of lime by boiling and then cooling it again by applying snow to it's outside. They likewise had an ingenious way of cooling their aqua tepuld, which was too warm for drinking after it had been brought over to the capital. Father Secchi has discovered the spring whence it came, and found that it marks Is deg. centrigrade (64 deg. Fahrenheiul in winter. The Romans used to mix it with water from the Julia, which only marked II deg. The water spring, now called Preziosa, issues from the old volcanic crater.

MT, Shaw'S Nozzle.

a3 W lthOut presuming to depreciate other peoples nozzles, it is safe to say that MT. Shaw's nozzle is one of re- markable value. That it satisfactorily fulfils it's chief purpose is among the least of it's merits, and it is only when we perceive the varied and numer- Ous uses to which it can be put that its true worth can be appreciated. Among the glaring faults of steam may be mentioned it's refusal to escape in a quiet and orderly way. When a loco motive or a steamboat boiler begins to liberate or ''blow off, its steam, the noise thereby produced is deafening. Moreover, it is in the highest degree adapted to produce thirst for blood, accompanied by floods of profanity, among those who are tormented by by its shriek and roar. Many a Con- necticut deacon of previously unsullied character has been known, while dis embarking from Sound steamboat, and trying to ask a policeman the way to the Bible House, to tiercely ''gol- dern" the escaping steam, which ren- dered his questions inaudible. Many a meek matron, who, while occupying rear room at the Delavan House, has been awakened at f A. NJ. by the roar of a brace of locomotives in the act of ''blowing of" has burst into madden, ed tears, and boxed the children's ears' as one who wished that mankind had but single ear, that she might box it with a coal-shovel. Every profound thinker has noticed that the decline of morality in this country has kept pace with the increase of steam boilers. That caused by the noise of escaping steam has weakened both the nerves and the morals of the public, no reasonable man can doubt.
 MT. Shaw has invented what he calls nozzle, which when attached to an escape-pipe, will enable steam to escape without any noise whatever. Of the precise nature of the nozzle we are not informed. Mir. Shaw says that it con- tains helix-which, perhaps, it does and also quantity of wires, and leaves to infer that the escaping steam is so much disheartened by becoming entan- gled with the wires and the helix that it has not strength enough left to roar with. The details of the invention are, however, of no consequence to the pub lie. So long as MT. Shaw's nozzle will put stop to the nuisance of noisy es- cape-pipes, we can accept it gladly, without further investigation.
 It may not have occurred to MT. Shaw, but it will promptly occur to every per- son who is in the habit of travelling in sleeping-cars, that if MT. Shaw's nozzle can be applied to escape-pipes, it can also be applied to the human nose. It was undoubtedly the intention of the inventor of sleeping-cars to construct a car in which traveller could lie awake all night with comparative comfort. This invention has, however, been hitherto made a failure by the infamous conduct of shameless snorers, who de- liberately go to sleep in sleeping-cars and snore as if there was no future

school. It is so long since them" he grOaned.
 The little lady turned contemptu- ously away, and calling the servant in structed her to get MT. Thomas Browns valise from the room which MT. Thomas Brown had occupied and show him the front door.
 ''I intended to have explained mat ters to you this morning madam" he fluttered as the servant left the room.
 "You can explain them to my hus- band, sir, if you have the impudence to come when he is here," and the little lady, with a firm step, walked to the door, took the valise from the hands of the servant who was just entering, and handed it to him, and politely lowing wished him a good day.
 Brown with an appealing look at Miranda, whom he discovered for the first time was laughing at him, reso- lutely picked up his hat and walked out of the house without another word.
 He took the next tr in for Saltwater and says he will never again be tempted to go on wild goose chase. He is still single, and has avowed his determina- ton to remain SO, as he entertains fears that should he enter wedlock Miranda Judkins might sue him for breach of promise.

Floating Melon Gardens.

In the beautiful Valley of Cashmere, among the Himalayan mountains, lies a lonely lake called Dal. Floating about on it's surface, sometimes carried by the winds from one end of the lake to the other, are numerous small islands on which grow the finest cucumbers and the most luscious melons known. The way in which these floating gar dens are made is very curious. All about the main shores of the lake grow quantities of reeds, sedges, and water lilies. When these grow very thickly together people cut them from the roots which hold them near the shore. The leaves of the plants are then spread out over the stems, making sort of trestle work to support the soil with which it is next to be covered. After this has been done the seeds are planted, and the floating garden is left to care for it. self until the fruits are ready for pick ing.

Genteel Work.

A prodigious amount of laziness, false pride and greed are concealed un- der this phrase. Many thousand hands are to-day idle, waiting for something to do. And in spite of commercial de- pression the country has work waiting, enough for a million of hands. The farmers are calling for help, the trades are deficient in first-class workmen; our kitchens are poorly supplied with domestic service; and yet the market place is full of the unemployed. Why?
 If a merchant advertises for a book keeper hundred competent persons step forward at once. If an author seeks an amanuensis, he must choose between as many eager applicants. Every government officer who controls the appointment of clerks has more names OH his list than there are details in months work. The demand is for something that will not soil the hands, that will not start precipitation, that will secure a livelihood without involv- ing much exertiOn.
 Genuine hard work is regarded as only semi-respectable. Men do not seek work; they look for "situation," in which they may avoid work. They do their best to maintain the appear ance of enjoying elegant leisure. But if an absolute slnecure cannot be found, they endeavor to give their employ ments an air of dignity, of repose, of freedom from homely fatigues. In a work, they seek ''light" business. This false standard of responsibility indicated by the word "genteel," de- grades manhood. Young men are ashamed of that which should be their glory. It is not he who does the least for the most money, who can wear the best clothes while at his daily avoca- | tion-whose business involves the least strenuous effort; it is not he that is the most to be respected. The salary with out real labor is disgrace. Partial idleness, however concealed under show of business, is misfortune, and if purposely indulged in, a shame not to be countenanced. Clean hands that will not engage in genuine labor, are already covered with stain that water will not wash out.
 The refinement that draws back from manual employment, and prefers men, tai dawdling is sham, and should not have social recognition. Better be a grimy blacksmith, doing thorough work, than a titled offer enjoying large income as return for nominal services. Better be day laborer than a pensiOned loafer. Better be earning comfortable livelihood by the sweat of ones face on a farm, or kitchen, than depending on the uncertainty of desk work in an overcrowded city. Better be a carpenter than hair-splitting scribe or pharisee.
 We wish this evil spirit of ''genteel" laziness might be exercised, driven out of common conversation, expelled from popular thought, and cast down from its shameful throne of power. Itssway is anti-Christian, and its cry is the old one, "What have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth ?" There is not a genteel idler in the land who does not wish to be let alone. They ought to be stirred up.

Hydraulics of the Ancients

Father Secchi has written letter to the Academy of Science on this curious subject. The monuments that he men, tions have been mostly discovered by him in the environs of Rome. The first mentioned by him is an aqueduct built at Alatri, two hundred years before the Christian era. It is not an inverted syphon, it's lowest point being one hun dred and one metres below the orifice from which the water flowed into the town, so that it sustaius at it's bottom weight of at least eleven atmospheres. The pipes of this aqueduct are of earth enware, buried in thick bed of con- crete; they are very fairly joined to- gether along length of seven and a half miles. This work seems to have been the model on which Vitruvius founded his description of syphon aque- ducts. The second remarkable relic of antiquity is to be found at the same

world. It is difficult to disbeleve that these snorers constitute an organized gang of miscreants. Upon what other hypothesis than that of concerted action can we explain the fact that they all ways travel in bands of three or more, including tenor, d baritone and a bass snorer? Their snoring also bears the marks of careful rehearsal. They do not snore in the rude, artless way of the simple African boOt-black, but they execute concerted chamber music evi- dently written by musicians of the Wagnarian school. \ gang of these unspeakable villains has been known to snore. without the slightest intermis- sion, from New York to Buffalo; and all through the unhappy listeners have hoped and prayed that the snorers would perish of strangulation. They have wickedly lived on while honest travellers have died of rage and eNhaus- tion.
 Were MT. ShaW's nozzle to be firmly attached to the nose of every man who is suspected of snoring, the sleeping-car would become what it's inventor de- of 150 pounds can have its roar baff1ed and silenced by Mir. Shaw's nozzle, no snore would ever find its way past the wires and the helix of the same instru- ment when applied to the nose. No matter how earnestly the snorer might trix t0 !, could produce nothing more sonorous than a gentle sigh. For the pretence that the forcible application of the noz- gle to the suspected nose would be an invasion of the snorer's rights, it scarce ly deserves consideration. The man who snores in public has no rights which honest men are bound to respect. We muzzle dogs and place yOkes about the necks of too enterprising pigs. Is the snorer of more value than the dog or is he better than the pig? If not, it is hollow mockery to pretend that we his nefarious nose with MT. ShaW's nozzle.
 The nozzle may also be used to ren- der certain domestic animals endura- ble. With its aid the ill-judged at tempts of the hen to rival the nightin- gale in singing can be baffled, and the obnoxious remarks of the mule can be silenced. At present, when the small boy undertakes to play base ball, he fills the neighborhood for miles in every direction with yells and blasphemy. If all small boys found playing base ball without nozzles were to be instantly arrested and committed to the pound, life during the base ball season would become bright and beautiful. It would perhaps be impracticable to apply the nozzle to MT. Talmage, and perhaps it would be scarcely worth while, since he breaches more with his arms and legs than with his voice. Still, if Tal- mage's vocal rant could be filtered through MT. Shaw's wires, we would more easily bear his gymnastic antics. At any rate, the experiment. might be tried, and the Brooklyn Common Coun- cil ought to pass an ordinance requiring Talmage to be nozzled, at least during the hot weather.-Nctc York Times.
