The Color of Flames.

The color of flame depends partly
on the temperature, but principally on
the nature of the substances undergoing
combustion or incandescence. The
fame Of an ordinary FIRE is yellow, DC
cause the heat is not sufficient to render
the carbon a white heat. The flame
will burn much brighter when air is
supplied to it freely, as by raking out
the cInders at the bottom of the CRATE
or blowing the fire with bellows, be-
cause with every fresh rush of air there
is new supply of oxygen. The red
flame is caused when there is rapid
union between the combustible gases
and the oxygen of the air, which is fire.

Discovery of Silk and Satin,

Rich and beautiful as these fabrics
are, and widely as they are used, yet
few people know that the discovery of
silk is attributed to one of the wives OF
the emperor of China, Hoang ii, who
reigned about two thousand years before
the Christian era; and since that time
special spot has been allotted in gardens
of the Chinese royal palace to the cult
walton of the mulberry tree and to the
keeping of silkworms. Persian monks
who came to Constantinople revealed to
the Emperor Justinian the secrets Of the
production Of silk and gave him some
slkworms. From Greece the art passed
into Italy at the end of the thirteenth
century.
When the Popes left Rome to settle at
Avignon, France, they introduced into
that country the secret which had been
kept by the Italians, and Louis ri. es-
tablished at Tours mandatory of silk
fabrics Francis |. founded the Lyons
silk works, which to this day have kept
the first rank. Henry II. of France wore
at the wedding of his sister the first pair
of silk hose ever made. The word
''satin," which in the original was ap
piled to all silk stuffs in general, has,
since the last century, been used to des-
ignatc only tissues which present lus
tired surface
The discovery of this particular brill.
liant stuff was accidental. Octavio Mai,
a silk weaver, finding business very dull
and not knowing what to invent to give
a new impulse to the trade. was one day
pacing to and fro before his loom
Every time he passed the machine, with
no definite object in view, he pulled lit
tie threads from the warp and put the n
to his mouth, which soon after he spat
out. Later on he found the little ball of
silk on the floor Of his workshop, and,
attracted by the brilliant appear NICE of
the threads, he repeated the experiment,
and by using certain muciaainous prep
arations succeeded in giving satin to the
world

Horrible Wife Murder With Razor
in Boston.


1t is long time since there has been
dom este tragedy in Boston which in cold
bloodedness and brutality will compare with
the one enacted recently IN a lodging house
on Melrose street.
As a Mr. Fennelly was going up stairs to
his room b heard a woman scream, and at
the same time the door of the room opened
and voice said: I've cut my wife's
throat" Just then another boarder, Mr..
Lows, entered the house, and Mr., Fenneelly
cried to him, Guard that door. A man has
Just cut his wife's throat I'm going
for an officer" Lows jumped to the
door just in time to intercept the
fleeing murderer, Charles Colinshaw,
an Engkshman, some So years of age
Colinshaw repeated his declaration that he
had slain his wife, and returned with Mr.
Lows into the room, where a horrible
sight was disclosed. On the bed lay the
body of Mrs. Colinshaw, with her throat cut
from ear 10 ear, and literally covered with
blood, which was flowing in torrents from
the horrible wound. Lows took hold of
her hand, and, thinking she was dead,
started for station with the murderer,
who, knowing Mr.. Lows to have been a
police officer, and probably supposing HIM
to be still on the force, made no resistance.
Upon reaching the station, Lieut.. Lee, who
was in charge, was told what had taken

up on the charge of murder.
There was a sensational scene in the
municipal court when the murderer was ar
raigned When he roseto plead to the
charge, the murdered woman's father,
Thomas Hudson, dashed forward and tried
to seize his son-in-law. Finding the door to
the dock locked, he shook his fist in the
prisoners face and yelled: II would give
$4,000 to put bullet through you now"

spectators prepared themselves to see an
otl.er murder. Two constables made rush
for the frenzed man and pinioned his arms
to his side. He made faint struggle, but
soon gave it up and was led outside into
the corr dor. Here he broke down COM
pletely, and began to weep bitterly and be-
moan the fate of his DAUGHTER The scene
here was as athletic as the other had ueen

COLOGNE SURPASSED.
Tho City of Ulm Now Has the Highest
Church Spire in tho World.

Church Spire in the World.
European and American ways of doing
things find good illustration in the re-
cent completion of the cathedral of Ulm,
Germany. In America, with the excep-
ton of the Washington monu-
mont, ordinarily, but few years
at most intervene between the in
ception and completion of work.
In Europe it is different. Sur
past, Europe builds for the centuries
rather than for the present need. The
cathedral of Ulm, for instance, just com
pleted, was begun in 1877, more than a
century before America was discovered;
the main building was completed in
1894, and the whole cathedral and spire
crowned and completed in 1890, or near
ly 400 years after the completion of the
main building. The cathedral itself is,
after the Cologne minister, the largest
of the six great Gothic minister's, Of Ger
many, and its spire towers to the height
of $50 feet, eighteen feet above the
spire of the cathedral of Cologne, and is
therefore the highest cathedral spire in
the world. The last stone of the spire
was put in place May 81, and a four-day
celebration was held in July, in which
historical plays and professions indica-
tive of the history of the cathedral and
Of Ulm were presented.
Ulm itself has had quiet history,
we'll typified by the history of the
venerable cathedral, which is its chief
glory. Its name has heretofore been
known in history chiefly in connection
with one of Napoleon's remarkable vic
tories, but it will now erjoy greater
prominence, and no trip to Europe will
be complete that does not include the
cathedral with it's world-dominating
spire. Its summit looks down on five
centuries. When it's foundations were
laid Chaucer, the morning star of En-
glish poetry, was preluding the strains
of Shakespeare and Milton, and Words
worth and Tennyson: Dante had been
dead little more than fifty years, Timm
was ravaging Asia, the Turks had just
obtained foothold in Europe, and the
great church which laid its foundations
still reigned supreme over Europe, and
the new world was dreamed of, if at all,
only by poets and naVigators.-Chicag

Cider to be kept unfermented should
be made as late in autumn as possible,
as it would be difficult to keep from fer
menting when made early in the season.
November-made cider, il bunged up
tight and stored where temperature
near the freezing point can be main
tained will probably keep sweet indefi-
nitely. Some people put in half-pound
or pound of mustard seed to the barrel
of cider and others use sulphite of lime
in the same way. The old-time method
of scalding is considered by many peo-
pie one of the best and least obiectiona-
bic methods. We see this described as
follows: When the cider has slightly
fermented it should be drawn or dipped
from the casks where it has been stand
ing to settle, into large copper kettles
or an old copper still, and be heated just
up to the boiling point and no longer,
when it should be again put into open
casks to settle and become cold. 1t Will
then be ready to be tightly bunged in bar
rels and stored away. During the heat
ing large quantity of scum will rise to
the top to be SKINNED off, and during
inc coollnS moSJ OF Ine Impurities SJllI
held insolution will deposited as sedi-
mont in the bottom OF the casks. While
cider thus created will afterwards taste
slightly of the scalding it will not be
unpleasant to those who like it sweet,
and is to be preferred to that in which
fermentation has been arrested by mus
tard seed or chemicals. This process
will stop fermentation at the right
point to leave it sweet, and will quite
thoroughly cleanse it from impurities,
but will affect it unfavorably for MAX
ing into vinegar afterwards. Popular
GARDENING
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1890-10-17

A Texas market gardner claims that
sweet potatoes grown from vine cut
tings are smoother and nicer than those
gre Nm from slips or sprouts. His
method of securing early sweet potatoes
is to gather the vines before frost has
injured them and hang them on a pole,
the ends of which rest in crotches OF
forks some two feet above the ground
Cover the ends of the vines with moist
earth and throw straw, leaves or corn
stalks over the whole and protect from
the rain by good shed, with the north
side boarded up. AS cold weather ap.
proaches he, for better protection,
throws more soil upon the base of the
heap, and more straw on the upper por-
ton, leaving the south end or, better
still, the top, partly open during warm
spells for ventilation. This plan
(Which is similar to banking the tubers)
will keep vines alive all winter and
ready for early planting in the spring.
