Electricity Direct From Heat.

For fifty years electricians have been
trying to discover q method of convert
ing heat directly into electricity, says the
Hartford Conn., Courant, but until re-
Gently no results of commercial value
have been obtained. Such a method
now, however, seems to have been dis
covered by H. B. Cox, a young man from
Maine, at present living in Hartford.
He claims to have invented an appara-
tus for converting heat directly into
electricity, which is so simple in con-
struction that he does not dignity it by
the name of machine.
By MIR. Cox's method heat is changed
to electricity as simply as water is
changed to steam. His furnace is all
that may be seen. From glowing Goals
comes the subtle current, without the aid
of boiler, engine or dynamo. A jet of gas
can be made to run dental machine, a
sewing machine, and anything which re-
quires no more power than these. No
power has ever been discovered that is
half so cheap as will be electricity OBJ
tained by this new process.
While at his home in Maine he had a
small furnace, which supplied the cleo
tricity for several lights, and all OF Ills
experiments have been successful.

them on hay, ground oats and wheat
bran, and after few days began to give
them ears of eorn left from the table in
the boiling season. They relished the
green ears very much.
As the corn matured I put them on
the hard corn, giving them two OF three
ears each now and then. They are now
eating about three quarts of bran apiece
each day, and also, first, handful of
oats, then two or three ears of corn and,
afterward few roots-beets or carrots
They have gained very finely.

marked ro,rly alike, except that shem;

can tell which is the tallest. A farmerI
called to see them this week and l,
asked him to select the largest one; he;
looked them over and carefully made his:
selection. I then "mixed them up and
asked him to tell me the smallest. He,
made his selection, and, to his SURPRISE,
he had picked the same steer.

Triplet Steers.

The interesting picture given below'of
triplet calves is copied from the RraI
New Yorker. The steers belong to Josiah
s. Kenerson, of Barnet, Vt. Mr.. Kener-
son writes of the animals: r..
"The mother of the steers is nine
year-old high grade shorthorn COW which
had always dropped single calves until
May 8, 1889, when she gave birth to
these triplets. Their sire was very fine
full blooded Shorthorn bull, which, so
far as have heard, had always begot
single calves until this case. The steers
were castrated when few weeks old.
They were born May 8. I bought them!
on August 10. They were allowed toI
suckle the dam until I took them on
August IA. I then tried to teach them
to drink new milk as taken from the cow,
but they would not touch it. I fed

K1NGsM11L ISLANDER. ALASKAN WARRIOR

KINGSNILL ISLANDER. ALASKAN WARRIOR,
It seems strange that the Esquimau:I
high up in Behring Strait should feel the
need of armor. With plates cut from
walrus tusk he makes mail put together
like that of the japanese that are marvels
of patience. When barrel hopes were to
be had he sometimes used these instead
of ivory.
The Churkchies, on the Siberian sidd
of Behripg Strait, had an armor made of
bands of sealskin that telescoped like q
tourists drinking-c cup. They had shield
attachment protecting the sides of the
face, also square breastpiece hinged on
with leather thongs.
a shield is detached or meVabIe- -afnor..;
While it is tolerably easy to pick out oil
tie tribes that have advanced to the use
of a protection worn on the body, oil the.
barbarian world use shields. Happy was
the Indian that had "medicine" shield;
no bullet or arrow could hurt him, and,
summit of Indian felicity, it was reputed
to make him successful in battle and
horse-stealing. The Indian buffalo-hide
shield was generally showily decorated
in colors and trapped with red flannel,
scalps, horse-hair and eagle feathers.
Sometimes the designs relate the exploits
of the owner, or are his own dream de-
vice, kind of coat-of-arms.
African shields compare favorably in
point of area with whole suit of armor.
They ale made of raw hide, wood or
basket and slat work. The latter are as
pretty weaving as can be found. The
Congo negroes trusted their shields
against bullets tor time. One of basket
work in the National Museum has hole
made by rife ball that killed the man
that carried it.
The large round Siamese shields are
neatly woven of split rattan. Long
wooden shields covered with tufts Of
hair are found among the head-hunting
Dyaks of Borneo. The New Guinea
shields are of wood, partly covered with
finely woven basket-work.
The most wonderful shield in the
world is that used by some Australian
tribes. It is really sort of parrying
stick. With it the native turns aside
any spear or other throwing missile sent
against him. An Australian gave an ex-
hibition of it's use to the Prince of Wales
in London some years ago. He parried
with ease spears that were thrown full
force at him from a distance of fifteer
paces.-New York World.

Numerous attachments were made by
the japanese armorer to the original coat
of mail or cuirass, covering the trunk
md protecting the vital organs. In feu-
dal times in Japan, the daimios, or lords,
possessed splendid and serviceable har-
ness, which was often so heavy as to
hamper the movements. The helmet was
generally shallow, with mask before the
face, made to look as gruesome as posi-
ble-looks are considerably more than
half the Oriental battle.
InCorean armor we see another material
used for defence. The ancient Corean
soldier wore coat of grea. weight and
thickness, made up of thirty-two layers
of course cotton cloth. Tho helmet is

RAINBOW LAND.

From the valley Of morn, where teardrops
hung.
The glittering bow of promise sprung,
So near it was plain to the dullest sight,
So distant no hanl could reach it quite;
And owe. the hills and far away
1t stretched where the heights untrodden
lay;
But Fancy, truer of eye than truth,
Could see Rainbow Land from the plains Of
youth.
There was gold uncounted in that fair land,
There were shining laurels and honors
grand,
There was love undying and friendship ts;e,
Over the mountains bright and blue.
But rough and hard was the upward climb
On the treacherous slope of the hills of time
The laurels we saw from the plain below
We missed ere we reached the line Of snow,
And the gold for which we greedily wrought
If we found at all, it was dearly bought.
Few are the eyes that are blest to find,
The road to the land where all are blind,
Where the happiest one is he who lives
Alone for the happiness he gives,
And the only poor is the wretch whose aims
Go begging in vain for needy palms.
God set its bounds His realm above
For Rainbow Land is the land of love-

The Barber Polo and Basin.

The sign of the striped pole, which can
be seen at the door of every barber shop,
was adopted as emblematical of the pro-
cess of blood letting, which practice was
a common remedy for nearly all diseases
until about fifty years ago. The patients
arm, usually the left, was made bare, he
was then given short round stick to
grasp in his hand, the arm was then
tightly wrapped with narrow bardage
or tape to the elbow. This was done in
order to get all the blood above the point
where the lancet was to be inserted. The
red stripe on the pole is symbolical of the
arterial blood, the blue stripe of the veins
Or venous circulation and the white of
ihe arm. The brass basin sometimes sus-
pended from the BARRIERS pole quite
common in Europe, though rarely seen
in this country was anciently one OF the
utensils of the barber. 1t resembles
tin pie plate with semi circular gap IN
one side to encompass the throat and so
prevent the lather from soiling the clothes.
This was found necessary, as the party
being shaved was compelled to sit in an
upright position. 1t will be remembered
that "Don Quixote" assumed a BARRIERS
basin as hemlet.
It was not until the reign of George II,
about 1757, that the barber ceased to be
anything but barber, as we now under
stand the term. During the fifth and
sixth centuries the custom of shaving was
nearly obsolete. 1t was not revived III
Europe until the seventeenth century.
During the reigns of Louis XIII and XVI
of France, both of whom assembled the
throne in boyhood, the fashionable peo-
pie soon began to make free use OF the
razor that they might resemble their
youthful sovereigus: It will be observed
that the desire to initiate great men did
not originate with the present generation
and, it is safe to predict, will not die
with it. IVashinqton Star.

QUIET LIVES.

In starry nights,
With the stellar CLEANS in whirl o'erheaG,
And the laugh o. the moon on the river shed g
In shaded lights =,
And ghostly sylphs, with their tread Of air,
Fitting about to the music fair =

OF life secluded from the busy mart
OF the worlds great, longing, restless heart
And nervous powers
Delight the soul-that happy soul
That knows the continent control r.
OF simple mind = "
or heart and brain that know no longing,
OF soul that knows no wrong, nor wrong

His human kind;
Among his store OF time-staind books,
Who for his daily pleasure looks,
\ And asks no more.
Whose mind to all the world Is kind,
To grosser passions, evils-hlind; :
And from whose door
The beggar never turns in vain
For food, or shelter from the rain
And cheering smile.
Blest, thrice blest-lves like these-they
spring
In sheltered corners Of the world-and bring
An increase with them-like the lowly fow-
That bloom in woodland byways stayed by

OF night-kiss'd dew THAT falls when angels
weep,
And all the world is wrapt in mystic sleep.

Defense and offense are the two great
ideas along which weapons have grown;
nature began it in the conflicts of the
armored slow and the unarmored active
animals, which we seeirepeated between
the ships of to-day. When missiles be-
come more penetrating the armor must
be made thicker, and so this fight has
been waged with varying success in all
worlds history ]
The suggestion of the use of body
armor at the present day would recall
the amusing adventures of DON Quixote,
and less than twenty years ago the Uhlans
of the Franco Prussianl war were clad in
cuirasses and helmets tof steel. These
were tested before being issued by rife
fire at certain range. It is just this
sort of armor of different materials that
some barbarous tribes used up to few
years ago.
