1t is not true, as | had always ig~norantly
believed, that all the girls in Boston wear
glasses and go about with!volumes of Eurip
ides and Spinoza in their hands, Glasses
are quite out, and only those whom short
sightedness compels wear them. They are
the sweetest, dantiest damsels on earth,
these Puritan msidens. Their color is as
delicate as an arbutus blossom, and with the
incoming fashions of health they are grow
ing stronger and more elastic. l have in
mind a young whom had often
seen and admired, without knowing who
she was-a clear-eyed, 6nely.Gbred creature,
simple, serious and sincere, with girlsh
grace and womanly dignity combined. |
was not at all surprised to learn that she
was a high school teacher of Greek and
Latin, though she might easily be the center
of q distinctively social life or the inspira-
ton of a poem. The New England girl is
a charming type, and it is a mystery to me
that so many Yankee youths who go West
should forget these !lovely girls and bind
their faith to the iyoung women Of Ohio,
Minnesota and Oregon. / suppose it is part
of the law Of progress, but 1t is as inscru-
table as when a Northerner ceases to care
for the "frst fine favor of the frost" or a
Southerner ceases to enjoy the rush of an
iceladen wind, I love mypines among the
Sierras, that stand up strong and tall and
dauntless, while the wild flowers never for
get to smile below them. But l look from
my window now upon the spreading branches
Of these lower pines and rejoice in them,
glad that it was a Western poet who said:
before the Lord.

SCIENCE \ THEORY.

Cobalt bronze Is another new alloy slightly
more expensive than silveroid. This is also
the invention of Messrs. Wiggin, and Is
manufactured in several qualities, the higher
grades being preferable on account Of
suitability for casting purposes, close steel
like surface, hardness, toughness and tensile
strength. 1t IS Of great service in high class
fitting work.
Professor Websky has given the name of
"Idunium" to the metal discovered by him
as one of the component parts Of native
vandate lead. The mineral is of q yellow
color, and contains other metals of which
zinc, iron and arsenic are the chief. The
only oxide hitherto examined forms staple
salts with alkaline bases, and this indicates
distinctly acid properties.
The result Of extensive experiments by
French engineers in regard to the preserva-
ton of steam boilers which are temporarily
laid up" is embodied in the following re-
commentator: "a steam boiler which is
to be put out Of use for q time should be
thoroughly cleaned, and instead of drying,
should be filed quite full Of water"
The electric railway at Portrush, Ireland,
has not proved entirely successful, except
in the case Of light loads, and as the dis.
lance from the generating station is in
creased the working of the line becomes
more difficult. For heavy traffic the system
isquite useless.
Silveroid, the invention Of Wiggin L Co.,
Of England, is an alloy of copper and nickel
adjusted with either zinc, Tin or lead in vsri-
Gus proportions according to the purpose
for which it is intended. The metal pro.
duced is OF great whiteness, brilliancy, close
ness of grain and and tensile strength. Ii
is used for machine bearings, cocks, valves
and engine and boiler fittings.
