To Keen Away srusouitoes.

Hadji Hassein Khouli Khan, Persian am- bassador at Washington, always sleeps with his hands resting in pan of cold water. He got into this habit partially because he has been used to warm climate and could cool his blood in this way, and also because in Teheran mosquitoes are great pest. Hadji claims that musquito will not bite man who has both hands plunged in water. He asserts that it is heated blood which mus quito desires, and that person whose veins have been slightly chilled offers no attrac- tions to the pernicious insect. Chicago Tri- kmne.

FURY OF THE STORM.
The Massachusetts and New Jersey Coasts Strewn with Wreckage-A Coal Steamer Wrecked and All on Board Lost.

The Massachusetts and New Jersey Coasts
 Strewn with WreckaGe-A Coal Steamer
 Wrecked and All on Board Lost.
 BOSTON, Nov. 2S.-Twenty seven lives lost IS the record thus far of the storm on the Massachusetts coast. Fifteen men were lost on the Edward Norton at Scituate, one on the Oliver Dyer at Portsmouth, two from the Halifax steamer Carroll, and three each from the schooners Walker, Avelon and Higginson
 Almost all the wrecks so far reported are on the shore of Massachusetts Photographic communication with Cape Cod has not yet been restored, and, as the storm was most violent there, according to reports given by the incoming steamers, it is feared that the list of wrecks is as yet by no means complete The cable connecting Nantucket with the main land has parted and no news is obtain able from that island. The Pollock Rip and Cross Rip lightship are adrift.
 CoHASSET, Mass, Nov. 2S.-All day wreck age has been drifting ashore at this point The coast is very rocky and the weather is still so thick it is impossible to see more than few hundred yards from shore, but it is the universal opinion that the steam collier Allentown, from Philadelphia, has gone to pieces on the lodges outside
 There can be no doubt that all on board are lost, as the coast is closely patrolled, and If any had reached the shore they would have been discovered almost immediately The nature of the wreckage seems to indi- cate clearly the loss of the vessel, for it is such as would not be floating had not the whole ship gone under water. There is a good quantity of bedding, life preservers, housetops, spars and furniture that would not be able to get loose except in the sinking of the ship.
 JERSEY CITY, Nov. 2S.-The New Jersey coast between Sandy Hook and Point Pleas ant is strewn with timbers, parts of bulk heads and buildings that have been wrecked by the fearful storm and tides since Sunday.

Chance for Inventors.

The fibre of the ramie plant exceeds in
strength that of cotton, flax or other
vegetable substances used IN the textile
industries. 1t is also of lustre nearly
equaling silk The difficulty of sepa-
rating the fibre from the woody substance
of the plant, and from the resinous mat
ter in which it is imbedded, has hereto
fore prevented the use of ramie for the
purposes to which it is adapted. A ma
chine has been invented by gentleman
for the purpose of preparing flax for the
spinners, as likely to be of equal use in
separating the fibre of the ramie plant
from adhering substances. The French
government has offered prize of 6,00C
francs for any process that may produce
the fibre in quantity of proper quality
for commercial use, and the Indian gov
ernmeht has a standing offer of $25, 00C
for machine that may accomplish the
same purpose.
