Testing Dryness of Walls.

Acurious device for testing the dry
ness of a wall is described in Wiener
Bauindustrle Zeitung. The apparatus
for the purpose consists simply in
small sheets of gelatine, which are
made by taking the sheet gelatine Of
commerce, selecting the thinnest
pieces, soaking them for quarter OF
an hour in water until they are quite
soft, spreading them out fiat on a
creased sheet of glass, and stretching
them with the fingers until the folds
and creases are smoothed out and the
whole made as thin and uniform as
possible. The sheets are then thorough
ly dried in the air, the edges, which
are rough and uneven, are trimmed off,
and the whole cut into pieces about
two inches wide and four inches long,
for use in testing. II kept fat in a
dry place these gelatine strips are very
sensitive to moist air. II a wall is
suspected OF being damp. a strip is
moved slowly over it near its surface,
but not touching it. If any damp spots
exist, they are shown by the curling
of the gelatine as 1t passes near them.
Although every one takes some inter-
est in knowing whether his house is
dry or not, this simple test is likely to
be OF more practical use to fresco
painters and paper hangers than to
any one else. Both OF these, to avoid
disappointment and loss, need to know
with certainty whether the walls and
ceilings on which their art is to be ex-
ercised are dry or not, as their papers
and colors will often change on damp
plastering. In the case OF wall OF
masonry, particularly, plastered on the
brickwork, it is difficult to tell by ordi-
nary inspection whether the moisture
has dried out or not and the gelatine
sheets may give the desired informa-
ton with such certainty and precision
as TO be Of great service.--American

THE study Of the violin by girls Is
fast becoming fashion in this country
and the practice should be strongly
encouraged. In Europe it is an old
story, but of late years much more than
formerly serious attention is. paid to
those students who show a prediction
for the instrument. At the COMPETE
tive examination in the Paris conserv-
atory this year there were twelve
young girls who presented themselves,
violin in hand, confident of their abili-
ty 10 pass as creditably as their associ-
ntes OF the other sex. Eight OF those
girls received prizes, and the highest
honor was unanimously awarded TO a
Girl Of Is. Mile. Dantin.

Tying a Love Knot.

And why for 80 long in that attitude bowed

Shortly before his starting on his horseback

"'Wnat better do you want?' have asked
them.

Then there are old tramps who when offered
a bowl of hot soup, roundly curse the chef
because he has neglected to furnish roast beef
and French peas.
1t is no unusual thing to hear them ask for
ice cream and angel food, and then close by de-

The Terry Estate,

1t is not improbable that there viii be a
contest over the estate of Judge Terry, who
was shot by Deputy Marshal Nagle In
Stockton, Cal, where Terry lived, the i'm
preston prevails that he left will in favor
of his wife, the no orious Sarah Althea
He left only one child, a son, who saw very
little of his father after the latters mar
riage with Sarah Althea
When Judge Terry married Sarah Althea
it was thought al he was nth 500, 900.
Those who are well acquainted with his
affairs now, however, do not think that his
estate will amount to more tina SIS 900
For two or three years before his deavh
his pr .ctice was very small In f Ct
when he became the attorney for Sarah AL
thea in her fight for share of Slarons mill
IONS he devoted his whole time to her aft airs,
and his legal business slipped away from
MIN.
The son is mechanical engi leer in the
San aacisco mint. If there is a will, Civ
ng Sarah Althea all of the estate, he will
contest it on the ground that there was IL l.
due Influence used i'll getting his father to
make it. 1t is probable that he would IT
have a great deal of difficulty in maxim :
out good case. If Sarah Althea had in
fuence enough VITA Judge Terry to get him
to marry her after the revelations of the
Sharon trials, it is probable that she had
enough influence wit him to get him to
make a will in her favor.
A law suit would suit Sa alb Althea very
well. There is nothing that she 80 much
desires probably as notoriety 1t has al
ready teen suggested that she will seek a
position on the stage within six m )nths. SO
far as n Dtoriety is colcernel she is cor
tainly well equipped fo' a brief, bu5 finau-
cieiiy success flu, career as an actres {.
There are a great many peIpe who
would pay TO see the notorious woman.

Our dispatches yesterday indicated that
there would be very interesting contest
for tine office of speaker. 1t is the impress
sion that Mr.. Blaine intends to make his in
fuence felt in it for the purpose of beating
Mr. Reed. Mr.. Blaine and Mr.. Reed.
although from the same state. have been
enemies FIR twenty years. The cause of
this enmity is said to be the refusal
of Mr. Reed to be satellite of Mr.. Blaine.
Mr.. Reed and Mr.. McKinlay are the most
prominent candidates for speaker. They
are men Of abili y and influence. Each has
a strong following, but neither has suffi-
Gent strength to conn and the caucus
nomination. Mr.. Cannon and Mr.. Bar. ows
are al o candidates, but neither has much of
prospect for success. Their strength will
be divided between Mr. Mckinley and Mr..
Reed during the contest, and the ole of the
two latter that gets the m st of it will be
the nominee, and consequently the speaker.
1t is believed to be Mr. Baine's purp Sc
to push Mr.. Lodge into the contest. NJ.
Lodge and Mr.. Blame have not been grea
friends until tiis summer Now they are
like brothers. They are together a grea
deal at Bar Harbo., aad their sudden and
very warm friendship has given rise to the
belief that MIR. Blaine intends to use MIR.
Lodge to beat Mr.. Reed.
The indications are that the contest will
be begun i'll earnest in October. The Presi-,
dent intimated day or two ag> that he
would have hard work in Washington dur
ing that month, and this is understood to
mean that he proposes to call an extra ses.
sion. The outlook is that the country viii
get more than it wants of the F.fty-first
