Flannel Made OF Vegetables.

Vegetable flannel is textile material
largely manufactured in Germany from
the pinus sylvestris. The fibre is spun,
knitted aud woven into undergarments
and clothing Of various kinds, for which
medical virtues are claimed. There are
tive establishments near Breslau, in
which pine leaves are converted into
wool and fannels. The process for con-
vert1ng the pine needle into wool was
discovered by Mr.. Pannewitz. In the
hospitals, penitentiarjes and barracks of
Vienna and Breslau, blankets made from
that material are exclusively used. One
of their chief advantages is that no
vermin will lodge in them. The material
is also used as stufting, closely resembles
horse hair and is one-third of its cost.
When spun and woven the thread re-
semb!es that of hemp, and is made into
jackets, speIcers, drawers and stockings,
flannel and twill fer shirts, coverlets,
body and chest warmers and knitting
yarn. They keep the body warm with
out heating, and are very durable. The
factories are Lighted with gas from the
refuse of these manufactures.

operation Of the Senses.

r Some curious experiments have led
DR.. Urbanschitsch, of Vienna, to the
conclusion that the exciting of one
sense organ increases the acateness of
the others, the different sensations
seeming to re.enforce one another.
Hearing sound will bring out the Just
indistinguishable color of distant
disc. The ticking oil n watch is heard
more plainly with open than closed eyes,
the fact that we listen to music or
speaking with the eyes closed being due
to other reasons. The sight of red and
green increases perceptions of sound
that of green and red weakens them.
These colors affect sensations of smell,
taste and touch in like manner. Touch
and temperature act reciprocally. When
the skin is tickled and plunged into
warm water the tickling ceases; when
into cold the tickling brings out the
feeling of cold. These observations
offer an explanation of the singular as.
sociations between colors and sounds
that some individuals obtain.

Chickens Hatched In q Tree.

Mrs. Samuel Jones, of Cadiz, Ohio,
discovered hen week or two ago sit
ting on the top of an old snag in her
dooryard. She supposed at the time
that the hen was summing herself, and
dismissed the subject from her mind. A
few days afterward she heard cackling
in her yard, and, on going to the door,
saw the hen on the ground with two
young chicks. A ''chirp, "chirp," from
the tree indicated there were more to
follow. A young chick peepcd over the
edge of the nest, and after some time be-
ing spent in prospecting and conjectur-
ing on the consequences of q fall,
tumbled out and down to the ground.
Much to the CONSERVATION of Mrs.
Jones, the little leaper rolled over once
or twice, arose to its feet and ran un-
hurt to its mother This performance
was repeated from the nest in the tree
until dozen young chickens were sue
cessfully landed on the ground. The
top of the tree is twenty feet from the
ground and free from branches. When
the old hen had counted her brood and
found oil present she clucked satisfied
cluck, and strutted around in way that
was proud. GtoJc- Democrat.

A STREAM THAT FLOWS FOREVER

In Willow Brook least my hook,
And long stood and waited;
But not trout could fling out.
Though we'll my hook was baited;
Nor did complain, while yet no gain
Repaid my slack endeavor;
1only sought to take thought
From the stream that flows forever.
But was told by one not old
wondered he should know it,,
The hook must skip, and bob, and dip,
And so, and so, you throw it,
And many trout was hurried out
To pay his deft endeavor-
Ionly sought to take thought
From the stream that flows forever.
His trout now dead, had others bred,
For life is ever flowing: - ...
This willow spray, unfurled to-day,
Six thousand years was growing.
The ripples glanced, and tripped, and danced
With steps that fingered never; .....
While yet I sought to take thought
From the stream that flows forever.
The brooklet drains the boarded gains
The mountain-haad secureth;
Each drop is dead that fills its bed,
The stream alone endureth.
Be world on world to darkness hurled,
Succession endeth never;
Jehovah's thought hath all things caught
In the stream that flows forever.

Mysterious Fate of Mexican Exiles.

For many years Yucatan has been the
Siberia of Mexico, says the Philadelphia
Record, whittier are exiled the offenders

what to do with, since the amended con-
stitution of the Liberal party practically
does away with capital punishment. 1t
is handy in case of political prisoners and
troublesome people generally
might turn up again if banisbed else
where-for from that bourne none has
ever returned. 1t has been the fashion to
conduct such obnoxious persons. under
military guard to the frontier of Yucatan
civilization, or to some out-of-the-way
landing place along the coast, and sim
ply let them 60. What becomes of them
none can tell. The interior is known to
be populated by warlike people, who
have towns and cities, and certain de-.
gree of semi .barbaric civilization.
Whether they enslave newcomers, or
naturali=e and make citizens of them, or
put them to death, is food for conjecture.
Probably the mystery of it adds to the
punishment its greatest terror How
ever, it is a well-known truth that among
the unfortunates condemned to Yucatan
few reach their destination, the soldiers
in charge having secret orders to give the
prisoners opportunities to escape and to
shoot them down the instant the seeming
chance is acted upon.

Modern Sugar Myths.

There is no white sugar. It is not
crystalline, but conglomerate; it is not
sweet, and, if you put it into hot water,
strange phenomenon appears. The
experiment is crucial with modern sugar.
In at least the vast majority of cases
dirty, cloudy solution is the result,
bringing sometimes most unjust accusa-
tions OF hapless servitors. AS used IN
tea, coffee and other opaque and deeply
colored mixtures, this abominable char
acteristic of modern sugar of course
escapes observation. But let anybody
try his sugar in a colorless solution, and
if he does not see soapy cloud dittuse
itself he is lucky man. The scientific
person whose aid has been called in to
screw the last gram of sugar, or so-called
sugar, over the legal amount out OF the
harmless beet, so as to secure profit, best
knows what obscene means he takes to
secure this obscene result. We only
know the fact. and the further fact that
of sugar taste in modem sugar there IS
about as much, let US say, as of cheese
taste in American cheese.-Saturday Re'

! Dealing with Lunatics :

A Summer Idyl.

When the summer sun is shining, and
the tendrils green are twining, and the
southern breeze is gentle as the voices
in dream, then the man, for pleasure
wishing, takes his pole and goes off
fishing, to some cool, sequestered valley,
where disports the gladsome stream.
On the bank he sits and fishes, breath
ing blue, corrosive wishes that he never
had been guilty of a trip so void of glee
and the bank where he's abiding, sud-
denly goes downward sliding, and the
streamIet bears him gently down, toward
the sullen sea. When he reaches shore
and scrambles, through the waste of
thorn and brambles, there are solemn
voiced mosquitoes, hungry for his
princely blood; there are wasps and
things 10 fight him, there are rattle
snakes to bite him, till he gives howl
of frenzy, and starts homeward through
the mud. ..- ,......1- '-..

The Making Of Glass Tubes.

"How is glass tubing made9" said a
Mail and Ezpress reporter toa large New
York dealer. aa'
"Well, it will not take very long to
tell you. all i know about it, but its
manufacture is surprisingly simple. The
glass blower takes a small quantity of
melted glass from the pot with his
blowing tube, rolls it slightly on a
marble slab to give it cylindrical form,
he then adds small quantity of glass
from the same pot, and blows the en-
larged mass while rolling it., taking
great pains to keep the shape cylindrical.
II the tubes of large calibre are required,
the inside diameter of tfe cylinder is
enlarged and the glass is allowed to cool
slightly before drawing. For tubes Of
very small calibre, such as thermometer
tubes, the internal diameter is decreased
and the glass IS used very warm.
In making piece of g lass tubing the
assistant places a ball of glass against the
end of the glass cylinder by aid of his
blowing tube. Now the men, each
holding an end of the glass cylinder by
means of their blowing tubes, begin to
separate, walking backward. The
cylinder is thus heightened, and at the
same time made smaller in diameter.
When the tube has attained the right
size it is generally too warm and soft to
admit of layingit down without Destroy
ing its shape; it is then cooled by means
of q fan. When it is sufficiently cooled,
it is laid upon a series of equidistant
parallel blocks of uniform length, where
it remains until cool. It is then cut
into lengths with diamond or file. If
the tubes are required to resist great
pressure or changes of temperature, they
are annealed, by plungin them into
boiling linseed oil, and then cooled.

The Romance Of the Stocking Loom.

In speaking of the invention OF the
stocking loom, DR.. Ure says:zt It was an
ancient tradition around Woodboroughs
England, his birthplace, that Lee, iq
youth, was enamored of "a mistress of thu
knitting craft, who had become rich BY
employing young women at this highly
priced and lucrative industry By
studying fondly the dexterous movement
of the lady's hand, he became himself an
adept, and had imagined q scheme OF
making artificial fingers for knitting
many loops at once. Whether this fen-'
mime accomplishment excited jealousy,
or detracted from his manly attractions,
is not said; but his suit was received with
GOODNESS and then rejected with scorn.
Revenge prompted him to realize the
idea which love first inspired, and to
give days and nights to the work. This,
ere long, he brought to such perfection
that it has since remained without
essential improvement the most remark
able stride in modern invention. He
thus taught his mistress that the love OF
a man Of genius is not to be sighted
with impunity."

Our Ewes are Close Together.

The effort of the War Department to
secure a field glass for the service OF
greater power than the one they now
use, has discovered the fact that the eyes
of the average American are closer
together than those of men in foreign
countries. The double glass, known as
the field glass, now used, is weaker than
that used in the armies of Europe. 1t is
of only from five to six powers.entire!y
too weak for the purpose: The only
glass they can get of sufficient power is
single spy.glass, which Is defective in
that il does not take in broad enough
field. The best military field glass in
use is that with which the German army
is supplied. An attempt was made to
adopt them by the War Department.,
but it was found that the eyes of the
glasses were so far apart that they could
not be used by Americans. The Depart
ment is studying now to overcome this
difficulty. Patsbu'g Dispatch.

An Architectural Novelty.

The building going up on the site of
the ruins of the late fireworks fire in
Broadway. New York, presents novel
ty in the shape of linteIs of copper. All
tbs work was to have been done in
terra-cotta, but The contractor failed in
in his work, and to save time this ex-
pertinent was tried. 1t delights the
architect and builder and all who have
seen it. Dissolved copper treated elec-
trically is deposited on plaster casts, and
produces work that is better than that
made by casting the molten metal in
molds, because it requires no trimming
or finishing with edge tools.

Ineubating Ostrich Eggs.

The ostrich egg is very delicate and
will not keep its vitality for more than
thirty days. Now, as the laying lasts q
couple of months it is evident that halt
of it becomes worthless for setting and
can serve no purpose except as curiosities
in bazaars. it is, therefore, the business
of man to provide against this IMPROVE
dent character 81 nature and utilize what
is wasted by that force. No occasion to
90 into detail about incubators; the
principle is well known. Practically
they are padded boxes, each holding Is
to 20 eggs and heated by hot water,
which can have it's temperature readily
under control. The eggs are taken away
as laid, one always being left in the nest.
Each one. is numbered and dated, and q
list made out with its weight and de-
scriptiono of the parents They are kept
in a dry room till the necessary number
is obtained, when they are placed in the
box and the heat is applied. The tenn
perature is forty degrees centigrade at
first, 80 degrees at the end of. eighteen
days, aud then 36.5 degrees to the finish.
During the whole process each egg must
be turned upside down every day
at a regular time. This is absolutely
necessary. About the fifteenth day
The eggs are examined to see which are
impregnated and which not. This is
done with box contain ng lamp and
a reflector, in front of which is an open
ing which fits an egg. supported on the
or tside bys little shelf. If the egg is
clear it will not hatch; if Opaque, except
at the larger end, where the air chamber
is, it goes back to the incubator. Some
times the egg is rotten; in which case
the gas formed within forces the liquid
through the shell and turns it yellow.
After 40 days the greatest attention must
be paid day and night: to listen for. the
noise of the chick. On the forty-third
day a small hole should be in the shell
near the ar chamber, which has already
been marked with o pencil Next day
this hole is enlarged so as better to notice
any movement inside. When this is
seen the shell must be broken, the mem
brane torn away, and the chick freed,
taking care to use the greatest delicacy
in every movement. The chick Is
wrapped up and kept warm for "a hours,
when it has very small lot of finely
chopped greenstuff with few bread
crumbs. On the third day itgets little
milk; on the sixth little grain with
the vegetables and a little water to drink.
