that an official of the department of the in

One of the first things which attract
the attention Of casual visitors to the

young ladies seen fitting about the

growth Of aesthetic tastes among the
members, as even If the majority Of the
committees have no use for clerks they
are certainly ornamental. They fit

to be so flexible that thin layers, three

A project has been brought before the
French Academy Of Sciences for the
construction Of sewer about 100 miles
long, to convey the sewage of Paris. to
the sea, pumping stations being cstab-
hshed at two places. 1t is estimated
that during two-thirds of the year almost
the whole quantity Of sewage would lie
absorbed by irrigation without its reach
ing the sea at all.
An English observer has reached the
conclusion that the musk beetle (Aromia
moschata) has the power of emitting or
snppressing its odor at pleasure, but that
when dying the scent Is continuous and
very powerful. He mentions case in
which q scent Of roses has been known to
proceed from the human body in fatigue
and weakness. Similar instances are
given by another writer.
A writer in Science discussing the
subject Of rainfall in Kansas, finds that,
while this has increased twenty per cent.
il the eastern half of the State since its
occupation by the white settlers, Western
Kansas has little increase of rainfall to
boast Of and little to hope for. He
greatly doubts, indeed, whether this
half of the State, lying outside the i'm
mediate track of vapor- laden winds. can
ever have rainfall adequate to maintain
successful agriculture.
Rolled gold is thus manufactured: An
ingot Of brass is cast, and while it is yet
hot thin layer of gold alloy is poured
upon it. When the ingot thus covered
becomes cold it is forced between steel
rollers until long, thin ribbon is pro-
duced, of which the proportion of gold
and brass il, of course, the same as that
Of the ingot. The percentage of gold is
often reduced very low-somstimes to
two and three per cent. This rolled

chains lasts for ten years.
A new ceramic product, according to
Mons. Hignette, is now made from the
abundant waste sands Of French glass
factories. The sand is nodded into
blocks by immense hydraulic pressure,
and is then baked in furnaces at high
temperature. The product has remark
able solidity and tenacity; it is not eff
fected by frost, rain or sun; it resists
very high temperatures; it is very light:
and il has q fine, white color. It is pre-
dicted that the material will be used for
many architectural effects in combination
with brick or stones of other colors.

ters having flocked together. it wss

twice reelected to the Legislature, but
in his leisure intervals devoted himself
especially to bear hunting, till in 1927
he was elected by the party of Jackson
representative in Congress.
At Washington, he obtained noto-
riety by the eccentricity of his manner
and language. In 1929 he was again
chosen to Congress, but soon after
changed from a partisan to an oppo-
nent of Jackson's administration; and
in 1881 it required his most strenuous
exertions to secure his reelection.

The First Presidents Journey to New
York.

York.
If the election of Washington were
unique, his arrival was no less so. He
was the first President, and probably
will be the last, to reach the seat OF
Government in an open boat. Going
back to his election, it may be men,
toned that Congress sent one of its
Members to notify him, and, as it was
a four-days' journey. the messenger
reached Mount Vernon by the 18th,
Washington was soon ready, and made
the journey on horseback attended by
his suite, which included Tobias Lear,
his faithful secretary. He was well
coined everywhere with the highest
honors, and his route lay through
Trenton. which was the scene of his
lirst victory. On reaching New Bruins
wick he found barge of State await
ing him, each of its rowers being the
captain Of a ship. In addition to the
crew was the committee Of reception,
which included the Inagnates Of the
Nation. and on this barge the first
President was conveyed to New York
city. It was a rather slow voyage Of
fifteen miles down to the mouth of the
Raritan. and then from the Staten
Island channel (better known as the
Kill Won Kull) was q heavy pun Of
eight miles, but, slow as it might be.
it was better than land carriage, and
six hours after leaving New Bruins
wick the first President landed at the
foot Of Wall street. The same dis
tance is now made By rail in less than
an hour. He reached New York city
Just seventeen days after his election,
and his inauguration took place just =
