MY UNPROFESSION4L BEAUTY
From The London World.


Talk not 10 me of your beauties professional;
Vanpt not the charms the pbOi ographers TeYel IN
These have no secrets for Cupid's confessional:
Lips with the rouge and eyes with the CeNlllh'
Smiles you may buy for shilling apiece.
Mine is a beauty that shrlnks from publicity
Modest and simple and sweet as the violet
What would become of my hopes OF felicity
If punv poets in troubade or triOet
Made her as known as their own Fleur-de-LysI
How could cal her my own, if her effigy
Stares from shop windows IN every thOrOughiare
Close to warrior Zulu or chef FIJI,
Hung 'twixt an AldershOt belle and CurTagh falr,
Next to NJ SIS Merry Irik's Gaiety legsf
How could trust to her deep eyes devotional,
How put my faith In her looks OF proprlety,
When ev'ry journal. in gushngs emotional
DweIt in large type, on her charms IN society, ,
All the while limiting she rose from the dregs
MOI Leave to others aesthetic monopoly;
Beauty like hers cannot want an advertisements
II mean nothing personal. since I'm bien trOp poll
To wound any woman, for really no hurt If meant,
None of her portraits will go to the press!
And as we look at the poses sensational,
staring from Regent-street windows or thereabout,
| whisper "Such craving for fame is irrational.
There's only one face at all that care about
That is the lovelier one possess"

THE DUPLEX DINGY.


The Rev. T.. i. Berthon, who is the inventor
of a colapsible boat, has recently constructed
some OF them in two parts, each SIX feet long,
and each forming, when detached, sep
arate boat with square stern. Two
of these parts joined together ne
calls duplex dingy. BY an almost lnstanfa-
neous process the bottom boards and thwarts
are taken out, and the half-boat, collapsed,
can then be slowed away in space Z lnches
wide and IA inches long. some OF
these boats have recently been severely tested
by the British torpedo service, ana the
official reports Of them are very satisfactory
II seems they pull fast, are remai kably buoy,
ant, and very dry, particularly when united
only by the gunwale forelOc@, as the DOW
then rises TO every sea instead OF pltching
into it, The boats are also built IN compart-
ments and are insuDmergiOe.
TREATING SLAUGHTER-HOUSE REFUSE.
The blood of most slaughter houses, says
The English Mechanic, is usually dealt WITH IN
n primitive manner, IN open air, ana without
nreyious dislnfection. This Is obviously OPP
posed to bygienic and economic laws. NJ.
Vautelet has lately brought forward pro-
cess for treating all organic detrltus from
slaughter houses for agricultural purposes. lie
uses suphate OF alumina' suiphulie aciu t anu
nitric acid in fixed proportions. BY addition
of sulphurc acid TO sulphate OF alumlna
bisulphate Is formed which, less soluble than
the sulphate, quickly causes complete cOag-
uatiOn of the blood. The role or the nItTic
acid is coagulatlon of the albumin OF the
blood and formation of nitrate. The matters
are thus disinfected, and their fertlnZihg
power is fully preserved.
THE INDESTRUCTIBILITY OF MATTER.
The indestrucdblitv of matter can be readily
demonstrated says The Scientific american, by
preparing Il couple of glass tubes fequa weight,
! each being filled with pure oxygen, and CON
| tanning n few particles of carbon, free from

fine loaf sugar gives very good results. The
tubes are Of precisely equal weight ana are
