OIL ON TRoUBnED WAVES.
The Reason Why 1t Gains and Smooth
Out Rough Waters.

The Reason Why 1t Gains and Smooths
Out Rough Waters.
From the Nautical Magazine.
The potency of oil in smoothing waves was
recently explained by Lord Rayleigh before the
Royal Institution in lucid lecture. The we'll
known scientists experiments demonstrate that
foam or froth is caused by impurities in liquids
Thus on shaking up a bottle containing pure
water we get no appreciable foam, but taking
mixture of water with 5 per cent. of alcohol
there is much greater tendency to foam. Cam
phor, glue, and gelatine dissolved in water
greatly increase It's foaming qualities, and soap
still more. Lord Rayleigh finds that sea water
foams, not on account of its saline matter, but
in consequence of something extracted by wave
action from seaweeds. By simply putting his
llnger in water which was moving vigorously
under the influence of a few camphor scrapings
the contamination of the water by the ininitesi-
NAL amount of grease sufficed to form an inyisi-
bic fllm over IL and to neutraliZe the foaminc
action produced by the dissolved camphor
Inc effect OF oil on waves, as several physicists
nave proved, is not to subdue the huge swell,
but to smooth and tone down its ripples, each
OF which gives the wind point d'dppui thus in
creasing the force of the breaking waves "This
pared TO an ineXtensible membrane floating on
the surface of the water and hampering its mo-
ton" AS long as the advancing tumultuous
sea-water is pure there is nothing to oppose its
periodic contractions and extensions, but when
its surface is covered with the oily membrane
the most dangerous contractiOns and extensions
are impossible

How TO Boil an Egg.
From the Chicago Tribune.

TIUIH IHV CHIUuBU ITIDuHt.
"Isn'tit strange" said a short, foreign-look-
ing man the other day at one of the restaurants,
"that not one cook in fifty, nor housekeeper
either, knows how to boil an egg? They will
tell you to drop it into boiling water and let it
remain three minutes, and to be sure the water
is boiling. An egg SO prepared is indigestble
and hardly fit for we'll person, let alone one
who is sick, to eat, The moment it is plunged
into boiling water the white hardens and tough
ems. To boil an egg properly put it in a vessel,
cover it with cold water, place over the fire, and
the second the water begins to boil your egg is
done. The white is as delicate as jelly and as
easily digested, and nutritious as it should be-

Female Physicians in Russia.

St. Petersburg Cor. London Times.
The status of female medical practitioners,
about which there has been so much trouble and
discussion, has now been definitely and legally
as well as very sensibly settled by a decree just
published in the official Gazette. Lady doctors
may now practice freely in all parts of the
Empire, and will wear certain decoration de

special right of practcing in all institutions and
gymnasia and schools for young ladies, and in
all benevolent establishments for women.

Two Aspects of the Wine Casle.

ITUIH III ItCIure,
What difference between the once virgin
cask, with future full of promise, and the emp
tied cask, heart-breaking symbol of a happy
past that has vanished forever The poet Gus
tave Matthew knew the difference well, for he
was a lover of good wine. On one occasion
when he witnessed that melancholy sight, dray
full of empty casks, going along the boulevard
he respectfully doffed his hat and fell behind
the dray, regarding it as a funeral procession.
The poet was right, for what were those empty
casks if not so many bodies from which the life,
once joyously effervescent, had departed, leav-
ing them inanmate-dead

dogs are lodged, boarded, doctored, washed, and
trimmed at an expense of $40 month. Seven
dollars is the charge for pussy, tab or tom;
song-birds cost 81 and parrots So for hotel ac-

CHICAGO, Oct 21-So far those response
BILE for the success or non-success of the
Worlds Columbian exposition have been
making haste slowly" With the meeting
Of the executive committee of the national
commission today, however, the enterprise
advances an additional stage. Two days
hence the committee on foreign affairs as
sembles in New York, while the committee
on fine arts has been summoned to gather
in the same city on the following day.
Early in November the voters of Chicago
will ratiiy the proposition to advance
100000 of the municipal funds toward
the project, and few days later the full
body of the national commission will meet
to ratify what has been done by those to
whom it has delegated its departmental
authority. From that time on the enter

Ii is now within week Of six months
since President Harrison signed the bill
which made the exposition a national en-
terprise. The net result Of ali that time is
simply the adoption of a site. That is all.
IL is true that the national committee on
classification, which has been in travail
for several weeks, has delivered itself
of a voluminous report, but as action
has vet to be taken il cannot even be said
that a step forward in this direction has
been made The ground is here. What Is

known as the Lower Gardens of Eden.
This part of the journey occupied four
days Then began the climb on foot. The
adventures surmounted all the dangers Of
snowbanks, glaciers, crevasses and storms
and reached the summit, nearly IA, 800 feet
above the level of the sea, late one after
noon. The summit is about two miles
across and directly overlooks two large
craters from which steam rises contin-
ually. These the party visited immediate
ly after beginning the descent. Says Miss
Fuller in her account of the adventure: ION
the east edge of the big crater we en-
tered an ice cave between the snow and rim
of the crater, and there, with steam beside
u.s. we spread our blankets, which seemed
light enough now; took off our shoes,
bathed our feet in whisky and began the
night. After having reached the summit
I began to feel sick from cold, exhaustion
and the sulphur odor, and for some time
suffered from a chill and nausea. Some Of
the gentlemen were tired and very cold.
Eating had no attraction for me, but some

good hot beef soup for supper. Two blank

cave above we could watch the stars and
meteors, and all night long hear the awful
