The Latest Thing. in Confectionery.

The eating Of flowers is a nineteenth
century reality. Crystalized violets at
s6 pound are the very latest things in
confectionery. Candied roseleaves are
also very popular. Girls like to eat flow
ers and will pay as high as $40 pound for
some of the more expensive kinds. They
are all brought from France, but with the
growth Of favor for things American, we
shall doubtless soon see a beginning of

SO man will eg,in his losr kingdom. Look
ing over the list of men famous for intellec-
tual achievement, it is surprising what small
eaters many Of them were. Dickens it was
said ale like bird. Socrates lived on water
and littls fruit and vegetables. William
Cullen Bryant took nothing in the evening
but baked apple and glass Of milk.
Members OF theatrical companies have a
curious experience Of eating. When on the
road they must frequently do with only one
meal day, in order to get from one point to
another to fill their engagements. They
find that they can get accustomed to this
with the greatest ease and do just as we'll on
one meal day as on three They state this
to be a fact themselves II 10 also fact
that at this moment there are IN the eastern
cities hundreds Of well-to:do persons, who
labor constantly and do an immense amount
of work. that eat only once a day-at mid
day or in the evening.
John Swinton is one we'll known example
of this 1t is persons that constantly use
stimulants such as tea, coffee, beer and
whisky, that suffer most from hunger and
faintness when meal has been skipped.
Dr. Tanner, the faster. proved that we eat
far too much.
Further. it Is the over indulgence In gross
food and drinks that has brought on many
diseases which afilct the race. Doing with
out these, and eating sparingly of mi K.

BOYS GIRLS


Boys and Girls. learn to swim this sum-
mer, if you do not know how already. An
experienced swimmer says the best way TO
learn Is in a rather shallow stream with a
good current The shallowness keeps the
learner from being afraid. Go into water
not much over waist deep, with friend.
Let that friend stand or walk along by you
and put his hand under your chin. While
he holds your chin and nose out OF the water
YOU strike out manfully and try to catch the
swimming strokes with your hands and
feet. As you get accustomed to the water
and got confidence your friend can gradu-
ally withdraw his hand, one fi1ger after an
other, till only one finger is left under your
chin. BY and by he can take even that
away, and you will be swimming before
YOU know it. Do not try to scare one an
other, however, by taking away the finger
before the learner is ready.
Below is something which you should
learn by heart about keeping from drown
ing. 1t may save many lives:
The human body weighs pound In the
water, and chair will carry two persons,
that is, it will keep the head above water,
which is all that is necessary when it is
question of life or death. One finger placed
upon stool or chair. or small box or
niece Of board will easily keep the head
above water while the two feet and the
other hand may be used as paddles to prope
toward the shore 1t is not necessary K
know how to swim to be able to keep from
drowning. A little experience of the buoy
ant power of water. and faith in 1t, Is al
that is required. Children and all Others
should have practice in the sustaining power
of water. In nine clses out OF ten tai
know'edy re that what will sustain pounc
weigh is all that Is necessary L
keen ones head above the water
will server better in emerge 2cies thar
the greatest ex0ertness as swimmer
A person unfamiliar with the buoyant power
will naturally try to climb ON top OF the
floating object on which he tries to saw,
himself If it is large enough that Is al
right But it is generally not large enough
to keep all entirely above water. This offer
happens when pleasure boats capsize Al

MACHIN cry.

The left side of the picture is tie *arboard
side of the boat There are two rectangular
parts on the eft side of the picture and one
on the right, the three converging toward
the center. They look like heavy supports
for the central mass, but they are not. They
are the vent shutes for the gas that drives
the ship. There is another one of these but
it is behind the machinery, and therefore in
visible. The one at the right and the one
in front on the left lead out through
the side of the ship, and point for
ward. When the gas rushes out
through them the ship is forced astern.
When it rushes out through the other two
shutes which point aft, the ship is forced
ahead. The big round globe which is at
the top and rear of the picture is the cham
Der in which the explosion of the petroleum
mixed with air takes place, little gauge at
the right showing the pressure of the gas on
the inside of the chamber. The chamber is
two feet in diameter 1t is made Of the
best cast steel, two inches thick. 1t has
been tested up to 10000 pounds to the square
inch, and as the gauge will only indicate
1000 pounds to the square inch, the ensi-
neer would not feel alarmed if aH explosion
should blow the whole gauge away. AS a
matter Of fact, the pressure of the explosions

100 pounds.
When the Eurelsa's machinery was set in
motion n first there was simply lot of big
splashes on each side aft, the blue SMOKE
rising IN clouds and making the boat look as
if she were on fire under wafer. The
machine was reversed and they came out
forward, the gas rising perpendicularly and
not moving the boat an in h Very soon aS
the metal warmed up, the explosions be-
came more violent, and finally the vessel
began to move.
Mr. Sacor comes of long line of steam
boat mach.nists and iron worlmen For
three generations the inventive talent has
been accommodating.
The old established steamer companies,
with their millions of money invested in
steam machinery, will not take up this in
vention as long as they can help it. The
president of one of the great companies said
to Mr.. Secor: Il could afford to pay you a
large sum to fail l hope you viii fail
The way the explo ions are produced Is in
genious. Petroleum spray is injected into
the explosion chamber where the com
pressed air is. The spray strikes upon a
white hot platinum wire, kept hot by an
electric current. The result is a succession
of explosions, sixty to eishty minute.
