Height OF the Tower OF Babel.

The reputed height of this structure
has at times been greatly exaggerated,
some Jewish authorities fixing it at
twelve miles and Jerome quoting con-
temporary assertions for its being four
miles. These estimates, however give
way to the sober testimony of Strabo,
who states the height at 600 feet, which
is the figure generally accepted. The
distinction of forming the remains of
the Tower of Babel has been claimed
for three masses of ruins in or near Bah
ylon; but the majority of competent an
tiquarians have declared in favor of Birs
Nimround, which stood in Borsippa, a
suburb of Babylon, eight miles distant
from that city. Sir r. X. Porter showed
that the summit had been exposed to
intense vitrifying heat which must have
been the result of fire operating from
above, probably in the form of lightning,
thus confirming the tradition of its de-
stru.tion by fire from Heaven. Sir H.
F. Rawlinson discovered that it con-
sisted of seven stages of brickwork on
an earthen platform, each stage being
of different color. Its ruins still rise
1913 feet above the level of the plain.
According to Herodotus the Tower of Ba !.
bel was adorned by colossal images and
statues of solid gold, the value of which
he rated at q ,OO0, 900 sterling, probably
as great an exaggeration of their worth
as twelve miles was of the height of the

Wealth for the Timely inventor.

"One of the best opportunities for a
young fellow to make money quickly in
these days." said self-made millionaire
the other day, lis to rack his brains I'M
til he has invented something useful or
that the public wants. A general i'm
preston prevails that it takes a skilled
engineer or a man of phenomenal in
ventive ability to develope anything
useful to manufacturers in this age of
machinery. But there is a wide field
open to shrewd amateurs, SO to speak,
to supply little articles of convenience
to housekeepers, shopkeepers, ETC., and
designers can be had at reasonable rates
to execute idea, once it is conceived.
american women are so accustomed
to getting what they want that any
thing which hghtens their labors in the
household is sure to go When l was
a boy on the farm at home my mother
used to make me clean all the dinner
knives on Sunday with bath-brick.
Now, scraping this brick into fine
powder with Jumps in it used to be the
most tedious part of the whole work.
The other day l heard of man who
has made for.une by supplying the
trade with powdered bath-brick in neat
packages. You know how difficult it is
to pick up small coins from a wooden
counter. Yet the whole civilized world
has growled at and endured it since
coins were stamped and counters made,
until the other day young fellow in
vented a rubber mat with little bristles
of rubber standing up thickly all over
it. Coins thrown on the mat are as
easily picked up as if they stood on
edge The public was quick to ap-
preciate it and the inventor need not
work for living any longer.

The Use OF Oxygen.

One of the industries now followed in
London is that of separating and stor-
ing oxygen from the atmosphere. This
curious industry, says the Court Jour
nal, has an application in the maturing
of spirits and the improvement of beer.
This is far from being the only applica-
ton of pure oxygen, for which the prics
is good, but it is notable, and no doubt
distillers and bonders will give heed to
the discovery.
1t is said that oxygen, in contact with
spirits, accomplishes in few days what
is done by from three to five years by
nature. The oxygen gets rid of the
fusel oil quickly, and as this is the most
injurious property of spirits the con-
sumner has an interest in the matter as
we'll as the producer. A maturing
effect is also produced on beer by adj
mixture with oxygen, and obviously
this gas is of high value for the whole
tribe of offeryescing mineral waters.

Eufure Of the Engine.

The present efficiency of the best non
condensing engines is probably not
greater than at the rate of two and a
half pounds of coal an hour horse
power, and of good condensing engine
about two pounds of coal an hour a
horse power, or not materially different
from James Watts engines of fifty years
ago.
1t is my opinion that with our present
knowledge of machinery steam engine
can be built that will produce horse
power with three-quarters of a pound of
coal an hour, if of sufficient size to re-
duce the percentage of loss by radiation
to a minimum. Under those circum-
stonces your fuel expenses would be less
team one-third of what it now is.
The future before men of your pro-
fession is brilliant indeed. The uses Of
electricity are now only beginning, and
in a short time it will be the docile
comprnion of mans labors, where now
it is dreaded as the treacherous slave.
Study the laws of nature, which are the
thoughts of God, and do not attempt to
rebel against them. We cannot create
new laws nor produce force.-E. N.
Dickerson to Ne,1 York Electric Club.

THE OUNCE OF PREVEN-
TlnN


Under the above heading the New
York World of February 10th, contains
an editorial, of which the following are
q few extracts:
physicians and unprofessional men
Of sense agree that if people would take
little of the pains to prevent disease
that they do to have it cured that the
civilized world would be much less like
a vast hospital than it is now. =
But the idea of regular and
stated physical examination, even Of
persons who are apparently well, is an
excellent one. The approaches of pull
monary complaints, kidney troubles,
and many of the other ills that flesh is
heir to are SO insidious as not to be ap-
parent to their victim.
In nothing is it truer than in disease
that IAN ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure"
There is great deal of wisdom in
what the World remarks. Individuals,
as rule, do not give their physical
welfare attention, and it is only when
alarmed by the presence Of disease
itself-the consciousness Of failing
strength-that attention is given to
such matters.
Much has been said and written in re.
cent years concerning the extreme and
oftentimes fatal danger which results
from delay in the treatment of kidney
diseases.
Physicians admit that they cannot
control advanced disease in those Or
gans, and it is doubtful whether they
can control it in any stage without the
assistance of Warmers Safe Cure, which
is established as the only known means
which will reliably prevent and cure this
class of disease.
Besides, it has been definitely ascer-
tanned that kidney disease is the real
cause of i'll health in most cases where
consumption, heart. brain or nervous
disorders are supposed to exist, and in
consequence of such belief many fatal
mistakes have been committed by our
best physicians in treating such disor-
ders, which are but the symptoms Of
the disease, whilst they have allowed
the real disease disease of the kidneys,
to escape their notice until too late.
There is no safer or surer way by
which health can be preserved and dis
ease averted than by the occasional use
of Warmers Safe Cure, which will bene-
fit the ''engines of life,"-the kidneys,
even if they are in a normally healthy
state; while the good that will result in
case disease is threatened, or is already
present, cannot be overestimated.
The most careful examination made
by skillful physician sometimes is I'M
reliable, since this class of disease is ex-
tremely deceptive. and seldom openly
manifests itself until the unsuspecting
sufferer is beyond assistance.

Two Kinds Of COnScienceS.

Let us take the case of a man of very
meager culture and education, whose
ancestors for generations have been OPP.
pressed and their lot one of bare sur
vival. Has he true conscience in
reference to large range of moral
questions? To be sure he knows it is
wrong to steal, and he probably could
be trusted not to steal money; but how
about pilferipg? On the contrary, il
your man of culture steals it will only
be large amounts, for he despises and
would feel disgraced by pilfering. Here
you have the two extremes of society,
with a common conscience about steal
ing; but it is weak conscience at oppo-
site ends.
The high born fellow will not pocket
a slice of ham, but he will default in
the handling of an estate or bank de-
posts. The one is feeble in moral judg-
ment Just where the other is strong.
These two men have also q common
moral law against murder. Neither
one dissents from the commandment,
Thou shalt not kill, but one of them,
who is fond of society and dislikes the
burdens of large family, does not hest
tate to commit fpticide the other would
recoil in horror at such crime, but he
is ready at moment for shindy in
which he is liable to kill some one or to
be killed himself. In neither case does
conscience speak loudly or condemn
keenly. Your conscience is your power
of morally seeing things. 1t is your
inherited and acquired ability to Judge
when an act is wrong. 1t is far more
easy to have poor conscience than it IS
to have a good one.-St Louis Globe
Democrat.

Playing Cards,

Cards, which were invented at the
close of the fourteenth century, says
Notes and Queries, were originally
very different from those in use at pres
ent. In shape they were square, and
instead of suits of spades, clubs. hearts,
and diamonds, their marks were rabbits,
pinks, roses, and flowers of columbine.
The figured cards were very prettily
devised: queen riding on horseback
with rabbit beside her marked the
queen of rabbits OF of clubs. A rustic
looking man, grotesquely dressed, and
standing in a strange attitude. with
pink beside him signified the knave of
pinks or diamonds.
