We read that iron jewelry is being
extensively worn, and that one knows
not which most to admire, the elegance
of the finished work, the skill of the
molder or the fine quality of the metal
that may be induced to assume such
elaborate forms. Some of the articles.

almost rivaling Italian fligree in gold,
yet it is nothing but cast iron. The
polish is perfect and not easily tarnished,
even when exposed to the action Of the
carbonic acid of a crowded, iIl-yenti-
lated room. The luster is a clear,
blush, almost transparent sheen, from
which the light is reflected as from the
diamond. The polishing of the facets is
performed upon an ordinary buff-wheel
dressed with crocus. Iron Age.

An Interesting STUDY for Students Of the
Population Problem.
The following summary will be of in
terest to those who wish to compare
the relative density of the population
in different countries in Europe and
America. The number of inhabitants
given is that occupying a square kile.
meter, which is about SO OF square
mile.
In Europe, Belgium is the most
densely populated country. and In
America, Chill. The mean density of
the population by countries is thirty
two inhabitants to the square kilometer
in Europe. Doubtless the limited ex-
tent of territory in Chill give it the adj
vantage of a more dense population,
because there is little waste territory.

The Safest OF ALI Explosives.

1t is now claimed that means have
been discovered which make blasting
gelatine the safest of all explosives to
handle after it is manufactured, and
which render it entirely suitable for
use in shell proiectiles. Blasting
gelatine explodes with nearly twice
the force of dynamite. 1t is the ma
terial to be used in the projectiles for
the new Maxim gun and the new
experimental war vessel Destroyer,
which have so lately attracted atten-
ton in New York. So sanguine are
some people that this explosive is to
revolutionize national warfare that
the National Gazette says: Son the
completion of the Destroyer, the iron
clads of the world will be rendered
worthless hulks, and the strongest
system of coast defense will be as
chaff before the onslaught of this ter
rife engine of destruction" This
would seem to come wonderfully near
realizing the idea of rendering war
impossible. Secretary Whitney would
do well to be cautious about recon-
mending contracts for any more ships. -

beach like sand-fiies. Those who had

| The boys rolled up their trousers, and
the girls pinned up their skirts In half
an hour the beach looked as if it had
been burrowed by myriads of littlo an
imals.
I'm dom a-swimmin'," said John,
and walked into the water. The bathing
master brought him out.
Not yet, little man." Then he was
laid out on the beach to dry. Selma
threw herself by his side, and Teddy
and ,Ianey, with SPADE and shovel,
working like ditchers, buried her under
the soft, warm white sand. How deli
clous it was to lie there, to see the
smiling sky, TO watch the tireless
waves chase one another up the beach,
and to hear only the sound of happy
children's voices! How unlike the
sounds and scenes of Old Brimstonel
The tide was now slowly creeping ND

goodies, exceeded the delights of the

water. The mothers dipped the little
ones, and held their little bodies out
as breakwaters for the waves to dash
against.
II am a-doin' swimmin'," said John,
striding in, and the bathing master
held him on his open palm, while John
struck out like sea urchin, and felt
himself moving through the buoyant
water.
"Time!" shouted the attendant.
Now, children, play, play, run, Jump,
until you drip with perspiration in
stead of water. Then you shall have
your dinner"
Thus one happy moment succeeded
another all day long, and until the lit
tie ones for once in their lives began to
weary from sheer happiness. Then
the little tug shrieked like bad child.
The mothers gathered up their babies,
the children were marshaled by kind,
thoughtful hands, and the barge dart
ed away. There was less noise, less
laughter and chatter, but none the less
happiness. Before the sun set the
children were again home at Old Brim-
stone and Tom Dickey's; but they had
brought with them the sea, the skr.
and host of memories such as swe t.

meets, I've been a-swimmin' ?"-Har-

Tiny Worlds.

Tho two satellites of Mars are pro-
nounced by Newcomb by far the small
est heavenly bodies yet known. Their
aiameters cannot be stated with any
degree of accuracy, but that of the
outer satellite may be as small as five
miles, while that of the inner satellite
probably lies between ten and forty
miles. Ceres and Vesta, the largest of
the asteroids, are supposed to be be-
tween 200 and 400 miles in diameter,
VIII le others of the group may be as
small as twenty miles, or even less.
There are some reasons for believing,
indeed, that the ring of asteroids may
include bodies of unlimited minuteness
fragments far too small to be visible
with our largest telescopes.
