POPULAR SCIENCE.

Microscopic examination tends TO con-
firm the opinion that emmensite, the new
explosive, is chemical compound, and
not mere mixture.
N experiments on the solubility of
glass in water, plumbiferous flint glass
was found to be the least soluble, and the
relative resistance of glasses was different
toward hot and cold water.
Professor Fresenius, of Wiesbaden,
Germany, declares that an egg contains
as much nourishment as a pound and an
ounce of cherries, a pound and quarter
of grapes, pound and half of russell
apples, two pounds of gooseberries, and
four pounds of pears.
Some additional facts of scientific In
terest are given in recent report con-
corning the artesian well-the deepest in
he world-at Pesth, Austria, and which,
from its depth of S140 feet, supplies 49,
900 gallons of water daily, having a tenn
perature of 15S degrees Fab.
The protection of men-of-war from the
effects of lightning has reduced casualties
from that cause in u remarkable degree
In fifty wears before the introduction of
lightning rods over two hundred Eng
fish men-of-war were struck, while from
1910 70 1915 only forty eight vessels were
more or less damaged.
A Corsican doctor, N. de Susini, has

A Dutch physician declares that a close
connection exists between the exercise of
mental faculties and disorders of the
nose. He SAYS that if it were generally
known how many cases of chronic head
ache, of inability TO learn or to perform
mental work, were due to chronic dis
e1se of the nose, many of them would be
easily cured.
A great amount of motive power has,
for years past, been derived from the
discharge of water from artesian wells
in France; more so, in fact, than in any
other part of the world. In the city of
Tours there is an artesian well which
drives a hydraulic wheel seven metres in
diameter, and works the machinery of
silk factory.
The very latest improvement in the
manufacture of filaments for incandescent
lamps is a process whereby the tilaments
are heated to high temperature by burn
ing fluid fuel in a suitable furnance and
at the conclusion of the operation raising
the temperature to still higher degree
for short period by the introduction of
blast of oxygen.
It is stated that, near Brady's Bend,
Penn, an oil well is located which every
day pumps a barrel of frst-class refined
petroleum, the residents in the vicinity
purchasing and burning it without its
havias passed through any process; it
answers the purpose equally as well as
the finest Illuminating kerosene, does not
smoke, and has no unpleasant odor.

Many of the new gowns are all in one
piece, whether cut in Princesse breadths,
or with the skirt sewed to the waist, or
in the new quaint fashion with the
waist shaped by innumerable fine tucks
and shirrings at the top of breadths
which extend from the neck to the foot.
The last fashion is especially pretty in
soft camel's hair and other fine woolens
made up with insertions of herring
or other open crocheted stitches done in
silken threads between the shirred puifs,
ard above hens or tucks. Thus a
graceful Empire gown for a slender
young figure is made of gray camel's hair
all in one from top to toe, and only two
and three eighths of a yard wide at the
foot. 1t is fastened behind, is without
reeds or hustle, and is made over fitted
silk slip that is held in place by several
short whale bones set below the bust and
curving out on the hips. The high neck
has three gathered puffs in round yoke
shape separated by herring-bone inser-
ton crocheted in gray silk, and below
the bust fine lengthwise tucks taper the
fabric to tit the waist; similar tucks ex-
tend all the way up the back, concealing
its fastening by hooks and eyes. The
long sleeves, slightly full and high on
the shoulders, taper to the wrists, and
have but one seam, which is plated in
side the elbow, and three rows of her
ring bone insertion are, about the wrists.
This simple gown has oaly a fzill. af The
wool gathered to edge its neck, and is
worn with an amber necklace and brace
lets. Old-rose, pale green, Eiffel red
and cream white wool dresses will be
made by this model for young ladies and
for girls Just in their teens to wear at
Christmas parties, and to assist at after
noon receptions throughout the winter.

This is what the present emperor of Rus
STA wrote in answer to the question, "Who
is to pay all these?" One OF his maiesty's
aides-de camp, who owed great deal more

fallen asleep in his chair. The emperor,

pen and wrote, Il, Alexander, and left the
room without disturbing the sleeper.
When the latter awoke, he found himself
all at once released from his obligations

the cross, paid the debt we owed to justice.
