Spectacles In Art.

PROM NOtes ana queries.
Among the figures forming part Of the
architectural decorations of the interior of
Henry Wis chapel is one of saint reading a
book and wearing pair Of spectacles without
side straps and of the form that used to be
distinguished by the name Of goggles"
Such early spectacle glasses were circular in

enough, at least to hold the glasses in position
on the nose. have got such pair, probably
not later than the time of Charles III.
These leather-rimmed goggles appear to have
been succeeded by glasses of the same shape
with rims of tortoise shell and a steel waist
An example of the early part of the last century
in my possession, in the original black fish-skin
case, shows that there was difficulty in attach
ing the waist to the rim with the necessary
frmness. Hence arose the rims with a rigid
waist and side pieces for keeping the ''specta-
cles" in position. But they were heavy and
clumsy. whether in tortoise shell or horn and
the difficulty still remained of making a relia-
bic hinge in such brittle material. This seems
to have brought about the heavy gold, silver
and metal-rimmed spectacles of our grand
fathers,

THE "SPOOK BUZZER."
Solution Of q GhostIy Mystery That
Prevented People From Sleeping.

From the New York Herald.
Certain sections of Flatbush have recently
been infested by some uncanny thing. At
least SO the residents Of that locality protested
to believe. 1t always began about midnight to
roam around the vacant lots, and as it pro-
ceeded seemed to emit a series OF unearthly
sounds or cries. At first people paid little at
tentlon to it, but upon the frequent recurrence
OF the weird noises women and children, and
perhaps few men. became uneasy. Night
after night it was heard. but seldom twice at
the same spot.
Some persons thought it was an overgrown
owl, but this theory was soon abandoned, for
sucn shrieks as these:
'Wow-o-o-o-up! Wow-o-o-o-up! Wow-o-o-
Cup! Zool Zoo! Zip!"
This was commonly repeated three times
with biood-congealing intensity; then il would
die away in the distance only to be heard later
In another quarter.
Nobody had ever seen the mysterious object,
but the noises finally became such a regular
nightly nuisance that half a dozen valiant men,
armed with shot guns, started out to suppress
IL. 1t was nearly i o'clock in the morning
before the men heard the familiar sound
Then they scattered around the spot from
whence the horrible ''Woo-o-o-o-up!' ema-
mated. and began to close in upon it. Soon the
mystery was solved, for the men, walking
steadily onward, quickly surrounded two young
men. well-known mischief makers
They were made prisoners and confessed that
they alone were responsible for all the recent
midnight commoton. Each had a stout hick-
DRY cane with about two yards of Irvine tied to
the ferule end; from the other extremity of the
Irvine dangled piece of Eastwood, shaved
down very thin. oval-shaped and about nine
inches long. That was all there was to it. The
noises, the young men explained were pro-
duced by flashing the thing through the air.
The harder the wind blew the more unearthly
the sounds became.

Where the Babies Smoke.

denim the use of tobacco should visit Siam and

navy, visited Bangkok once and was surprised
at the indiscriminate manner in which the
natives INDUCED in the use of the weed. Hand

boys and even the children were smoking
1t was common sight to see little tots, not
over four or five years old, with a string of
beads around their necks and a cigarette over
each ear, smoking like full-grown man, as
they trotted about as naked on the day they
were born. Questioning English-speaking
native learned that the children are taught
to chew the betel nut mixed with tobacco and
to smoke soon they able to walk Not

A Novel Life Boat.

A London correspondent of the New Orleans
Ptcdyune says: In a short time there will be
stationed at Harwich. for work along this coast.
a life boat that will have for its motive power
neither sail, nor oars. nor screw nor paddle
wheel, but will be driven by what is called a
turbine wheel. A turbine is a horizontal water
wheel, and nothing in the way of engines
could be less complex than those of the life
boat They have simply to drive water through
this wheel at something like a ton a second
The manipulation OF valve directs the course
of this tremendous stream and sends the boat
forward, turns it to the right or left without
assistance from the rudder, spins il round and
round like teetotum or stops it dead at pleas
ure.
1t sounds Jules Verneish. but il is o fact
She-the Duke of Northumberland is the name.
but all boats are shes-is built OF the very best
steel and is OF immense strength. Being di-
vided into no less than fifteen water-tight com
partments, she practically cannot upset, and
may be relied upon to live in the widest seas.
There is another of cruel old Neptune's amuse-
ments-an amusement which has LASTED since the
days of Noah-destroyed. and We may conf
IDENTIFY look for time when the seas powers of
destruction will be nil and its terrors reduced
and that wholesome fear Of seasickness which
keeps many a would-be traveller from roaming
overcome.

THE MIRAL BAUDIN.

follows: Length, 1913 feet inch; beam, So feet
10 inches; draught, 20 feet 2 inches; displace-
ment, ii $50 tons; horse power, 8, 800; speed
15.2 knots; coal capacity. 800 tons: cost,
$4,000, 600. She is armed with three L-inc b
guns as main battery, located IN
half-round, half-losenge shape farbette turrets,
protected by steel plates l61S inches thick
These guns are about as heavy "a can be made
with economical regard for strength. efficiency
and endurance. The secondary battery con-
sists of twelve 51s-inch rifles. six rapid-fre
guns and fourteen machine guns. Most Of
these smaller arms, the two latter classes, are
worked from the tops Of the military tops,
which form a powerful means of defense
against the attacks Of torpedo boats and in
short-range fighting.
HEAVILY ARMoREp.
The ship is armored very heavily. Her main
belt, which runs from end to end above and
below the water line, is Of 21.66-inch steel
amidships and decreasing to IA inches at the
bow and stern. This is backed by teak from
IL to IA inches thick. There is also protect
i've deck Of 3.94-inch steel, covering the vital
portion of the ship.
This huge craft is driven through the water
by two screws, propelled by two three-cylinder
engines, supplied with steam from IA boilers,
with So furnaces. With the 800 tons of coal
which which she can carry she is enabled to steam
5000 miles at her cruising speed-probably 10
knots. Her crew numbers 500 men.
THE TORPEDO NET.
On the side of the ship, in the engraving,
may be seen line Of what looks to be decora-
tions stringing along the side of the ship from
stem to stern. This is the great torpedo net, a
mass Of strong iron rings woven into a con-
tinuous mesh. that is let down into the water
to the depth of the keel during an action in
order to prevent the explosion underneath the
hull of torpedo. AS seen in the cut. the
net is wound up on the sides OF
the ship when not in use It is
very heavy, weighing many tons, and
IS the bane Of the French sailors life. When
being handled it frequently gets so tangled
that hours are required to straighten it, None

with these nets, but it is planned 20 provide

The Search for Pretty Wives.

From the Ladies' Home Journal
Girls to be successful today must have some
thing more than pretty features. The men who
are worth marrying are looking for something
else than pretty faces, coy manners or fetching
gowns. They are recognizing full well that
women are progressing at a pace which will
quicken rather than slacken. They realize
that the woman of tomorrow will be brighter
in mind than her predecessor of today. Hence
they are looking for wives who
will be the equal of that Of her neighbor.
Beauty is being considered an adjunct to COM
mon sense. II want a wife who knows some
thing, who is worth having for what she knows;
not one of these social butterflies" said one of
the greatest catches" of the last New York
season to me at the winters close. And be ex-
pressed the sentiments Of thousands Of the
young men of today. The scent for pretty
wives is over, and the lookout for bright young
women has begun. And the girl who today
trains her mind to knowledge will be the
woman of tomorrow.
