A St. Louis doctor Of divinity saws:
this roller-skating rage seems to be at
its senith. The craze once took hold Of
England, and ruled all classes for three
years and q half The lower elements
took to it generally. As suddenly as Il
sprang into favor it collapsed, and within
year the 900 rinks had been converted
into stables and warehouses, or were torn
down. The craze will die in America as
suddenly. Everybody will remember
when every man. woman and child in the

Attention is called to the fact that the
value Of water as an aid to blasting, when
used in connection with explosives, is
rapidly becoming recognized in this
country. as well As in the larger mines
and quarries Of Europe. Among the
favorable points pertaining to this process
special mention is made OF the fact that
the powder, in exploding. bursts the tube
containing the water. and-careful esti-
mates showing-with increased power or
explosive violence: this il because the
rending force is extended through the
water, in accordance with certain we'll
known principles Of hydrostatics. over
the enlarged interior area Of the bore
hole, due to the space occupied by the
water tube
A much larger quantity Of the material
TO be mined or quarried is thus brought
down or lonsened with a smaller quantity
of the explosive used. Again, the heat
given Of by the burning of the powder
and surrounding gases converts a larger
portion of the water into steam. the
elastic force of which assists in the opera
ton Of blasting, and the steam and re-
manning water together extinguish the
fame and flash of the powder.-Cosl

this is To il what perfume is To q flower.
This scene must he well made. II should
give resume Of the idea Of the play, ard

he worked ont two such scenes, and il
took him six months to arrange them to
his perfect satisfaction. Finally, when
the two had been dOvetailed or joined to
geth-r, the work Of writing the play had
still TO be- performed.
In writing plays Sar,iOu has system
which is probably unique with himself.
He legins with his principal persO,aye
and writes out the whole OF his or her
role. In the important scenes Of this
character he writes out the dialogue. but
the portion Of il which is not put In the
mouths of leading people is not definitely
given to this or that subordinate until his
other part is written out in the same way.
He always writes his plays twice-the
first time on little slips Of paper. and
these he afterward copies on to fOOlscap.
As rule this first draft is covered with
erasures and interlineations TO that de-
gree that no one but Sardou himself can
possibly make them out.
When writing Sardou always keeps In
view those who are to interpret him ~
well rs those who are serving n his mod

comedies are drawn from real life. He
also keeps in view the defects Of pronunci

A paper which will withstand an i'm
nense heat without rendering the writing
tilegible may he made Of an asbestos body
coated on one or both sides in combination
with thin writing paper coated or i'm
originated with salt. The heat has the
effect Of forming a thin glaze which viii
combine with the asbestos body. The
thin coating Of salt may be applied to the
paper with brush or by means Of . bath,
and combined with the asbestos body by
the use Of cement composed of or con
tanning silicate of soda. to which should
be added small portion Of carbonate Of
lime, to set the mixture. The asbestos or
coaline paper may be united BY being
subjected to q powerful pressure
The ink used for printing or writing on
this fire proof combination may be IN
ordinary ink containing nitrate OF silver;
or, IL desired, other solutions Of metals
may be used. When paper 50 prepared
and written and printed upon is subjected
20 an extreme heat the thin surface Is con-
sumed or destroyed, leaving the metallic
or incombnstible part of the ink, which
has penetrated or touched the thin paper,
plainly leGible on the asbestos body.
Paper on asbestos thus prepared is eX-
pected to be used for the most important
legal instruments or other written or

of which by fire would entail
