ChO---Ca.

This delicious breakfast beverage,
although almost entirely unknown III
America and even in Europe, has very
distinguished origin. 1t was invented
by the celebrated French Philosopher
Yoltaire. Voltaire hit upon this new
anu brilliant idea while he was guest
at the Sans Souci. favorite reside nee
of Fredrick the Great OF Germany. He
partook of it constantly at breakfast.
Vo!taire made in one part of coffee and
milk and the other part chocolate. He
made the name by writing the first syl-
liable of ciIocolate-cLo-and cafe-cal
these two Iirst sylables made cho ca.
Each beverage was III boiling state
when he united them. He poured them
into a common vessel slowly. he held
both at an elevation of about eighteen
inches, This he said made i extremely
light and digestable. This drink be-
came a great favorite, also, with the
great Napoleon. He used it constantly.
1t WAS frequently remarked by those
who attended his person that after the
excitement and fatigue OF great battle
two or three cups of this beverage
seemed to restore all his wanted energy
and strength; on ordinary OCCASIONS he
used only one cup.
The celebrated culinary artist, Soyer,
admired this beverage exceedingly. In
regard to it he wrote to his wife in the
following enthusiastic manner:
"Here, dear Eloise, is an entirely
new aliment which has never yet been
introduced into this country. A SEMI

steam asa Light Reflector.

As everything pertaining to the In
provement of the methods and paraph-
ernalia of illumination is at the present
time looked upon with special interest,
We reproduce, for the benefit OF our
readers, an account of a recent patent
granted III Germany to Herr L. Bran-
dau, of Berlin, in which he proposes to
utilize the emissiye properties of steam
Tor illuminating purposes. In descrlb-
ing his plan, the patentee refers to the
fact that steam III condenslng forms
dense white vapors, which possess the
property, when exposed to an intense
source OF light, OF partly rejecting and
partly absorbing and subsequently emit
ting it, as the clouds behaYe toward the
sunlight. dIffusing mild and uniform
brightness. In adapting his system to
overhead and side lights, Herr Brandau
employs an apparatus consisting essen
TALLY of a glass chamber into which
steam is admitted, on passage way for
its exit being also provided. This Is
then either illuminated directly, or with
the AID of mirrors, by the source OF
light.
Novel as 1t may seem, the plan ap-
pears to us to have decided merit, and
it is not impossible that the idea OF
Herr Brandau may contain in it the ele-
ments necessary Tor the successful
moderation and diffusion of the blind
ing brilllancy of the electric light, which
has in most situations proved to be a
serious drawback to Its usefulness. Ihe
high absorptive and emisslve properties
OF water vapors, both for heat and light,
are well known phi hysical facts ; and the
commonplace allusion to the sudden
CLEAN of brightness that follows the es'
cape of clouds of steam, especially no
ticeable when the sunlight Is hidden
will serve as a familiar example OF {
principle that Herr Brandau proposes
to turn to useful account.

Niagara In Winter.

A correspondent in February letter
from Niagara SAYS We were driven to
Prospect park. and then we walked
down to the stone embankment close by
the American falls. 1t Is difficult for
the pen to describe this scene. The
surging waters, tinged with a duh earthly
hue, were hurrying, leaping and roar
ing over the brink into the boiling caul-
dron below. Theclouds OF eyer-rising
spray floated upward in fine congealed
masses, which covered every twig and
branch near by with fairy frost-work.
Below the fails was the vast ice-bridge
completely spanning the chssm, and large
cakes of ice were continually hurled down
on to it by the mighty descending waters.
OF course we went down the inclined
railway to the ice-bridge. We seemed
to be standing somewhere in the Arctic
regions near the North Pole. Thirty
feet OF solld ice were beneath our feet,
and the ragged mass, rising in several
places into small ice-hills, stretched
completely across to the Canada side.
The clouds of ice spray, blown hither
and thither by the changing winds,
were touched now and then by bright
sun-ray. which formed them into bul-
liant rainbows; and the tireless rumble
of the falls sounded a grand national dia-
pason. Returning to the shore, the
ladies again took there lives in their
hands and ascended to the park by the
inclined railway. Here we reJoined
our carriage and decided to visit the
Canada side by way of the new suspen-
sion bridge. The constant tolls now
demanded at every point but the visitor
in anything but the calm and contem-
plative mood appropriate for .he quiet Ell
joymoRt of this great natural wonder of
the world. Perhaps it is but just that
those who own the contiguous land, or
who have devoted time and nancy to
the improvement of roads and tine erec-
ton of costly brinses, should be recon-
pensed by strangers who use them; but
if the State, by right of eminent domain,
should take the whole properey at fair
valuation, and sweep away the cheap
mills and factories that now distigure
its sides, and shoIld then throw it open
to the public, the number of visitors
would be greatly enlarged, and the gen.
eral prosperity Of the town would be
materially improved. All the hotel
keepers and even the hackmen agree In
this opinion. The charge of two dollars
and half for four persons in Garage
to cross the suspension bridge may,
perhaps, be pardoned when the eye
roams over the coastly structure that SC
gracefully spans the stream, but We
were rather astonished to be stopped
again Just below the bridge on the Can
adian side by an old man standing in a
little hut, who demanded ten cents.
What is it for?' we cried in wonder
''do let us know what we are getting fol
our money" "Quite right, " murmured
the old man; SIT is macadamized road. .
We never could have believed if he had
not assured us of it? And so ii went on
a toll here and toll there. and at every
point which promised beautiful view
We went down another inclined railway
at the Whirlpool rapids, and then drove
slowly back to the hotel.

Continuous Brakes.

Somewhat over two years ago Nj.
Herisson, the French Minister OF Publlc
Works. issued circular enloining all
French railway companies to supply
their passenger trains, running at the
rate OF 81 miles per hour and upward,
with continuous brakes within space
of two wears, and altough this time has
now elapsed, no definite measures have
vet been taken to carry out tins plan.
Various railway companies. 1t appears,
are making extended experiments with
different kinds OF brakes, and accounting

Gently trying the vacuum brake, the
Westinghouse automatic and the Achard
electric brake. Although the lists have
been quite exhaustive. none OF the COM
panies have adopted any of the different
patents. and it has been found necessary
to put fresh pressure on the companies
to induce them to furnish the pr per
security for their passengers. and Nj.
Herlsson has now issued another clreu-
lar. informing the companies that suiil-
cient time has been allowed for expert
menting, and that it Is necessary for
them to make a definite choice. lie

Judging from all appearances, desires
to see the Westinghouse system gener-
ally adopted. A technical committee

Herrison, in setting forth pointedly the
alleged merits of the Wsnger bra Ike
concludes by leaving the companies
entirely free to adopt any model which
is both continuous, controlling alt the
wheels of all the vehicles and automatic,
and capable of being worked by the en-

they adopt must be fully applied IN the
course of the present year. LIZ Is thought
