A well-known German manufacturer
| of mica wares, Herr Raphael Of Breslau,
now makes mica masks for the face
which are quite transparent, very light
and affected neither by heat nor by
acids. They afford good protection to
all workmen who are liable to be in
jured by heat, dust or noxious vapors
all workers with fire, metal and glass
melters, stone masons, etc. In all
kinds of grinding and polishing work
the flying fragments rebound from the
arched mica plates Of the mask without
injnring them.
The register in deeds of Bay City,
Mich, stepped out of his room minute,
leaving his heavy glass inkstnnd on the
table. When he returned he found the
inkstand split in two in the middle,
though no person had been in the room.
He wants the scientists to explain this
phenomenon. The accident is not a
very rare one. When glass, or any
metal, is melted and cast in thick
mass, the outside cools first, and in
cooling shriuks, thus producing q
severe strain upon its particles. Then
the inside cools and shrinks away from
the outsido, producing another counter
strain. The tendency of these strains
is to produce split. Wnen mass OF
glass or metal which is under such q
strain is warmed by the sun or q cur
rent of warm air, more upon one side
than the other, the outside of that side
expands and produces an additional
strain which may cause it to fly to
pieces. These are the causes why glass
lamp chimneys break, and these are
the reasons which scientists would give
for the Bay City phenomenon.

When TO Advertise.

An old merchant, who had always
been an extensive advertiser, was in the
habit of saying land practicing upon the
theory that the most necessary time to
advertise freely is when times are
dullest. Accepting this as fact, the
present is good time to advertise. Be-
fore the holiday trade was brisk, but
since it is not so brisk. Hence mer-
chants do not advertise so freely. Here
is the mistake. If there be any differ
erence, advertising should be more
brisk. If merchants have bargains to
offer now is the time to induce pur-
chases. 1T is now that purchasers
watch for bargains and bite hook that
is temptingly baited, and how much
better it is that merchants who have
goods with which to bait hooks should
bait them, and sell the goods at small
profits rather than keep them upor
their shelves and invite damage from
dust. Chicago Times,

The Pocket Photographic instrument.

Tie Pocket Photographic Instrument.
Have you heard of the instantaneous
Photographic instrument? asks New
York correspondent. It is a great in
vention. The instrument is no larger
than well-illed pocketbook, yet it is
so complete tina every man can be his
own photographer without any trouble.
The process of taking the picture IS as
simple as writing. You simply hold
the instrument before the object to be
taken and there it is. l believe the
policemen of London are armed with
them, and they fash then camera on a
rogue with as much ease as you would

an object is moving, it can be taken. |
know of one enthusiastic man who
claims that they will be the reporters
notebook of the future. For example,
he is writing an article on the Brooklyn
bridge, and as he writes he uses his
camera. When he goes home he de-
velops his plates, and consequently has
correct picture OF the scene before
him. Indeed, he never goes out of the
house without his instrument in his
pocket, and he keeps his friends sup
| piled with pictures. L am little afraid
of the abuse of this invention. An un-
principled rascal seeing pretty girl on
the avenue can whip out his camera and
have her face at once transferred to the
plate. The instruments are quite cheap

The Fiddler.

Sometimes ifyou listen-listen
When the sunlight fades to gray,
You will hear a strange musician
at the quiet close of day:
Hear strange and quaint musician
On his shrill-voiced fiddle play.
He bears curious fiddle
On his coat of shiny black,
And draws the bow across the string
In creviccs and in crack;
Till the sun climbs up the mountain
And flsJds the earth with light,
You will hear this strange musician
Playing-playing all the night
Sometimes underneath the hearthstone,
Sometimes underneath the floor,
He plays the same shrill music
Plays the same tune DER and DER:
And sometimes in the pasture,
Beneath cold, gray stone,
He tightens up the sinews,
And fddlcs all alone !
1t may be in the autumn,
From the corner Of your room
You will hear the shrill-voiced fiddle
Sounding out upon the gloom;
If you wish to see the player,
Softly follow up the round,
And you will find dark backed cricket
Tildling out merry sound
