USES OF MIRRORS.

Flashing Light Into Dark Nooks by Means
Of Looking Glaases-
The use Of a mirror for rejecting the
sun seems to run from the extremes OF
boyish ROBUSTNESS in flashing the suns
rays upon the eyes of some companion
or even older persons, if the distance
be sufficient-and then reaches to the
other extreme of using it to flash the
suns rays for heliotrope signals in the
coast survey or army service. or to
measure the detection of a galvanom-
ster needle But there is vast middle
space of practical usage of mirrors,
apart from that OF individual vanity.

CELLAR VENTILATION.

suggestions for DAtrymen as Well As

A great mistake is sometimes made
in yentilating cellars and milk-houses.
The object of ventilation is to keep the
cellars cool and dry. but this object
often fails OF being accomplished by
common mistake, and instead the
A cool place should never be venti-
lated unless the air admitted is cooler
than the air within, or at least AS cool
as that. or very little warmer. The
warmer the air, the more moisture il
holds in suspension. Necessarily. the
cooler the air the more the moisture
is condensed and precipitated. When
a cool cellar is aired on warm day,
the entering air being in motion ap-
pears cool. but as it fills the cellar
the cooler air with which it becmes
mixed chills it. the moisture is con-
densed, and the dew is deposited on
the cold walls, and may often be seen
running down them in streams. Then
then cellar is damp. and soon becomes
mouldy. To avoid this the windows
should only be opened at night and
late--the last thing before retiring.
There is no need to fear that the night
air is unhealthful it is as pure as the
air of mid-da. ana really drier The
cool air enters the apartment during
the night and circulates through it.
The windows should be closed before
sunrise in the morning. and kept
closed and shaded during the day, If
the air in the cellar is damp. it may be
thoroughly dried by placing in it "A

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-President Harrison
reached here on the Steamer Pilgrim at $50
this morning.
A large crowd assembled on the dock
when it became known that the President
was on board. He was in hurry to go to
Washington, and walked on board the Penn
sylvania Annex boat for Jersey City a few
minutes after the Pilgrim arrived.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-The President ar
rived at the White House at 2:Os p. m. A
number of newspaper men and few tourists
had gathered upon the portico. In response
to their salutes the President raised his hat
and with smile said. ''I am very much
obliged for the reception" Secretary
Halford says the trip down Fall river on the
Pilgrim was pleasant one. The water was
little rough. but not enough
80 to make it uncomfortable to
act upon reaching the White House was to
telegraph Mrs. Harrison that he had returned
safely.

THE NEW YORK YACHTS.

Good Breeze Yesterday Sends the
Flyers Through an Exciting Race.
NEWPORT, Aug. 16.-A bright sun dawned
on the morning of the last racing day of the
New York Yacht clubs vessels, and good
light breeze from the northwest drove the
yachts out to the starting line. Three races
were on for to-day and everyone was sure to
be interested in some of the boats or one of
the races. The announcement that Katrina
would not 40 in for the 70-foot special cup
caused little disappointment as 1t left only
Titanis, Bedouin and Oracle as competitors.
The forties race looked about sure for Gorilla
in view of her cruise work of the last two
weeks. The races for seventies and forties
were for special squadron prizes and open
only to boats of the New York feet which
was not understood by many shore people
who criticised the fact that the Minerva,
Alice, Helen. Pappoose, Aawa, Verna and
toher crack forties were not In the race.
At 9:55 the Electra left her anchorage in the
upper harbor and steamed down off Bren-
toms Reef Lightship, arriving at the line
about 11:3O. The Merlin left for the east
ward. Captain Barr and the Ninerva's crew
were on the Mariquita this morning to help
Harry Half and Liris was taking out all her
movable and dunnage for racing con-
veniencs. The preparatory gun was fred at
10000 and the start was at 11:30:20, by
the forties, the course being southeast to
leeward around marks, a distance of nine
miles for the forties and twelve for the 70's.
Marquita crossed first with spinnsker set to
starboard and broke out her balloon jib-top-
sail. Gorilla started next and Toma-
hawk and Liris were handicapped. The 10
footers turned the 10 -mile mark with Titania
leading, her time being 2:13:55, Oracle 2:16:35,
| Bedouin 2:1S:55. As the Electra neared
Brenton's Reef lightship the schooners could
be made out on the leg toward West Island
| in this order: Palmer, Fortuna, Dauntless.
The Liris had been gaining on the run in and
| set her club.topsail about four miles from the
finish. She pointed up well and passed the
Tomahawk quarter of mile to windward.
Mariquita was astern to leeward. The Elec-
| ira dropped anchor at sos. The finish be-
| tween Tomahawk and Liris was very exciting,
Tomahawk winning by length. The Mari.
| quita stood toward the wrong side of the
| Electra, but tackled late and crossed the finish
line. Titania was the first 70,foot sloop in,
| far ahead of the Oracle and Bedouin, which
| were near together. The Palmer rounded

P1TTsBURa, Aug. 16.-The south bound
passenger train on the Butler branch Of the
Western Pennsylvania railroad, which left
Butler at 1855 O'Clock this afternoon, jumped
the tracks at Sarvers station, and the entire
train consisting of two passenger coaches and
a combination smoking and baggage car
went over an embankment and was totally
wrecked. Three persons were killed OUT
right and twenty-five others injured, a num-
Der of whom will die. The killed are as
follows: Powers Of Lawrenceville, child of

rails on a small bridge. The rails were on
stringers which had rotted with time
and long service. The engine passed over
the bridge safely, but the first was de-
rallied and plunged down into the abyss, some
thirty feet below. The rails ploughed
through the second car and the escapes were
marvellous. One lady had her dress cut
from her waist to shoulder; another lost a
small piece of her cheek, third had her
chin cut. The train was running with the
main car next to the engine, the baggage
car in the rear.
