~ Gear When in High Places.

Among the many curious psychical expert
ences that are now attracting attention, the
enc 10 which the term "acrophobia" has been
applied has many points Of interest. 1t re-
fers to an exaggerated condition of fear when
in high places DR.. Verga has recently de-
scribed the phenomena in his own case.
Though by nature not at all timid, all his
courage leaves him when above ground. He
has palpitations in mounting step ladder;
finds it extremely unpleasant toridcontop of
a coach, or even to look out of first story
window. His idiosyncrasy forbids him to
use an elevator, and the mere thought Of
those who have cast themselves down from
high places causes tinsling all over his person.
The thought Of tie earth spinning through
space is enough to cause discomfort. He
finds this fear growing upon him as sight and
hearing become less acute, and what walking
in high places was formerly possible for him
is getting more and moro difficult Agreater
or less degree of this fear is undoubtedly
quite common. A very intense form of it
seems perfectly consistent with normal func-
tons.

EloraI Novelties.

Exquisite taste and skill is shown in the
professional arrangement of flowers, both
natural and artificial Especially is this
noticeable in recent productions of for
lists, and Easter will doubtless be greeted
with marvels in the way of artistic floral de-
signs The combinations of flowers, foliage,
fruit, grasses and seeds, in rich stands or
baskets, are always seemingly careless, but
in reality tho perfection of art, giving most
charming and graceful effects. Numberless
original ideas are carried out by adopts in
tho art of designing and trimming graceful
floral novelties Satin, plush and ribbons
are largely used in their construction. A
sketch of one of the simpler arrangements is
here given.

GAS PRESSURE.
Another sensitive fame, which requires no
extra gas and is more readily controlled than
the late Jet, is shown in the second cut. In
the production of this flame pin hole burner
is employed Two inches above the burner
is supported piece of 32-mesh wire gauze,
about six inches square. The gas is turned
ON and lit above the wire gauze. 1t burns in
a conical flame, which is yellow at the top
and blue at the base. When the gas pressure
is strong, the flame roars continuously.
When the g1s is tnrned off, so as to stop the
roaring altogether, the fame burns steadily
and exhibits no more sensitiveness than an
ordinary flame By turning on the gas slow
" and steadily, a critical point will be
reached at which almost any noise will cause
it to roar and become non-luminous. Any
degree of sensitiveness may be attained by
careful adjustment of the gas supply. A
quiet room is required for this experiment
The rustic of clothes the ticking of clock,
a whisper, a snap of the finger, the dropping
of pencil, or in fact almost any noise, viii

roar It dances perfect time to Z tune

Russian Mode of Cleaning rurs.

packed away, and now that the season for
storing them for the summer is at hand, the
following description, by foreign journal,
of now furs are cleaned and renovated in
Russia-the land of fTs-is interesting: Some
rye -four is put into pot and heated upon
stove, with constant stirring as long as the
hand can bear the heat The flour is then
spread over the fur and rubbed into it. After
this the fur is brushed with a very clean
brush, Or, better, is gently beaten until all
the flour is removed. The fur thus resumes
its natural luster and appears absolutely as if

For the production of a sensitive fame it is
necessary that the gas be under a pressure
equal to that of a column of water six or
eight inches high. The common method of
securing the required pressure is to take the
gas from cylinder of compressed illuminat-
ing gas. Another method is to take the gas
from weighted gas bag, and still another is
to fill sheet metal tank with gas and dis
place it with water.

NO. I-BURNER FOR SENSITIVE FLAME.
The burner is shown in Figs. /, 2 and of
the first cut. 1t consists of n small tip in
serted in the end OF suitable tube The
burner is supported in the manner shown, or
other convenient way, and gas under suit
able pressure flows through and is ignited.
The flame will be tall and slender, as shown
in Fig. l. By regulating the gas pressure an
adjustment win be reached at which the
fame will be on the verge of faring. When
the flame is at the point of flaring it is ex-
tremely sensitive to certain sounds, particu-
Iarly those of high pitch. A shrill whistle or
or a hiss will cause it to flare The rattle Of
