QUITE A PARTY COMING,

Prof A. W. Raymond, Secretary of the
American Institute of Mechanical Engi-
neers, reported that by writing and cabling
to London he had learned that the British
visitors were to include 80 ladies, that they
intended to sail for New York on September
90, and remain in America a month. Prof
Raymond had written to the institute offices
in London proposing that there should be
a two days joint international session, at
which three papers should be read by the
visitors representatives and three by
Americans.
Beside the international session the
British Institute might have q separate
session for discussion of interesting topics
and the American Institute of Mining En-
gineers might also have its annual meeting.
This plan was acceptable to the British
Institute and to the meeting to-day, and it
was adopted.
1t was decided after an hours debate that
the sessions of the British Institute and of
the American Institute of Mining Engi-
neers shall be held in New York, while the
sessions of the International Congress shall
be held in Pittsburg. The debate was
caused by the desire OF the Pittsburg dele
gates to entertain the visitors, but the
scheme fell through, largely because the
members of the council present believed
that the visitors would desire to see New
York and get rested after their journey.
ON THE PAN-AMERICAN PLAN.
Five or six long trains will be required
to pull the visitors around in the States, as
the visitors and the Americans will number
about 1000. Mr.. Carnegie said it was his
notion that the plan followed would be SIM
liar to that used by the Pan-American Con-
gress. On the assembling OF the visitors in
New York, ex-Mayor Abraham S. Hewitt,
President of the American Institute of
Mining Engineers, would make the address
of welcome.
After the sessions in New York and. Pitts
burg, there will be excursions to Lake Su-
perior, to Niagara Falls and to the Southern
States. There were a score of invitations
reported to-day by Secretary Kinchoff.
There will be receptions both in New York
and Pittsburg, and probably in other West
ern cities.
In the papers and topics to be discussed,
Mr.. Carnegie said the tariff will be ex
cluded, but very important paper on
trusts will be read by one of the six visiting
engineers.

"Just watch this crank" said a man
In a restaurant. He comes in here every

for fried onions. He always finishes by
ordering them. but he never avows his
real purpose until he has beaten around

know him well and humor him."
The lover Of onions seated himself,
and looked over the dinner card with .

Swimming Devices.

A Spaniard has patented an invention
relating to the manufacture of gloves,
having webs between the fingers, like
those on the feet of water fowl, so that
on spreading out the fingers during the
propelling stroke in swimming a COM
paratively large surface will be present.
ed to the water, and consequently the
propelling action will be greatly in
creased Apparatus heretofore devised
as aids to swimming have been in most
cases Of cumbrous, heavy character,
fatiguing to use and subject to become
defective. The inventor claims that his
apparatus is exceedingly simple, besides
being portable and reliable and easy to
use, affording firm and sure hold on
the water. and enabling the swimmer
not only to keep himself above the wa
ter, but also to perform rapid evolutions
with facility.
Another method Of facilitating swim
ming is reported from England in the
shape of an invention Of a swimming
boot. The boot consists Of canvas tops
and wooden soles, attached to which
are two blades of mahogany (some are
made Of steeD, which close with the
forward motion Of the legs and open
with the backward strokes. The sur
face measurement Of the two blades on
each shoe is about IA square inches,
while the total weight of single COM
plete shoe is about thiry-one pounds, it
being loaded with lead to prevent too
much buoyancy. A public competition
Of swimmers provided with this device
and those without it is said to have re-
suited much in favor Of the former

The late Duke Of Manchester, when
on his first visit to Australia, in 1879,
was entertained by the colonists in a
princely fashion. In Queensland the
weather was intensely hot, and the duke
left his party and rode ahead in his shirt
sleeves with his coat strapped before
him) and wearing a soft felt hat. On
his arrival at the bush public house he
found a crowd awaiting him. One
bushman, stepping up to him, said:
"Halloa, have you seen the duke?
Will he soon be herew
The peer replied:
II am the Duke Of Manchester"
The bushman surveyed his visitor,
walked around the horse, and after q
critical inspection said before the
crowd:

Locusts Easily Digested.

The people Of Zanzibar should stand
high for the comprehensive character Of
their cuisine. Among other delicacies
are small monkey and fruit eating bats.
Locusts are relished by the Bedouin of
Mesopotamia and some other eastern
tribes. They are placed on strings and
eaten on journeys with bitter and un-
leavened bread. The Hebrews, who
were prohibited eating many kinds Of
food which our larger experience teaches
Us are palatable and wholesome, as well
rs some that we do not venture to touch,
were permitted to have their fll of To-
Gusts
The locust is an article of diet to this
day, but only of the very poor; it is
thrown into boiling water and eaten
with salt. To live on locusts and wild
honey conveys moro accurate picture
Of extreme poverty and frugality to a
traveller in the east than to any one else.
Locusts, however, are not always cooked,
sometimes they are eaten fresh. They
are said to have strong vegetable taste,
the flavor largely depending, as might
be expected, on the plants on which
they have been feeding. DR.. Living
stone, who showed his common sense by
not being fastidious, considered them
palatable when roasted. Scottish Re
