Coin.operated Reversible.seat Cb.ir.

Among the thousand and one applications
of the nickel-in-the-slot principle may be
mentioned a late invention, which may pos
sibly have curious effect on the sales of
tickets. in theaters. The device is chair
having revolving seat and a revolving
back, the respective position of both of
which can be Immediately changed by COIN
controlled locking mechanism. Supposing
that play is in progress, and the spectator,
with an eye to economy is taking it in"
from the gallery. The seat, probably, is
hard, and the back of the chair is straight,
and the pleasure seeker is longing for the
end of the play, so that he can seek some
thing like comfort In his easy chair at home.
The dropping of the nickel now works
benefcently, for as the mechanism is actu-
ated by its weight the under side of the seat,
which is softly cushioned, flies up and forms
a luxurious back, with gentle and inviting
inclination, and similarly cushioned seat is
provided for the grateful playgoer for the
rest of the evening. So that, in point of
fact, the occupants of gallery seat can for
an extra cents enjoy more than the COM
fort of those in the orchestra.

What Fog Means.

Prof. Reynolds recently gave practical
illustration Of the effect of fog in connection
with some new betting which had been
running for four hours at Owens College
during heavy fog. The betting, which
was new and bright when started, was
loaded with dirt. 1t had been running at
1000 feet an hour. Prof. Reynolds pointed
out the resemblance to the dirtiness of an
express train, the phenomenon in both cases
being due to the fact that the rapidly mov-
ing body comes in contact with a greater
quantity of air in given time than sta
tionary body. and, therefore, picks up
greater quantity of atmospheric pollution.

Kangaroo Versus Sheep.

A curious fact in connection with the
effect of the progress of civilization comes
from Australia. 1t appears that in the
older parts of that country the kangaroo is
practically exterminated. In Victoria the
kangaroos formerly outnumbered the sheep
in the proportion of two to one, and old
shepherds state that it was not an uncom-
mon thing to see the sheep and the kangaroo
feeding together upon the plains; as many
as 1000 or 5000 kanearoos frequently ac-
companying flock of 1000 sheep. The re-
duction in the number of kangaroos has
materially affected the possibilities of profit
on sheep farms, as will be seen from the fact
that ''station" which, in 1850, could barely
Craze 6, 900 sheep, can now be made to carry
40, 900 without any danger Of being over
stocked.

A Small Flower Holder.

An invention which has been patented in
England, and which is being utilized extern
sively by ladies going to the Queens draw
ing-rooms. is a small posy holder. This de-
vice is 20 constructed as to fasten on the
door-panel of the carriage and to slip into
a small socket attached to the woodwork
with screws. The slant of the holder
throws the flowers forward, so that every
bud, fern froud or orchard spike is pro-
tected from injury. The flowers are found to
keep much fresher when freed from contact
with hot hand. and ladies who have en-
dured the strain OF holding boquet for
hours in tightly-gloved palm, will be glad
to be relieved from such an ordeal.

A Wonderful Effort On His Deathbed. and
Similar Instances.
Many people have no doubt read of the
curious scene that took place at the death
bed Of Malherbe. the great French poet,
who auoke from a swoon, heartily reproved
his nurse for using a word which he con-
sidered bad French. and then died; also
that of Alonzo Cano, the Spanish painter
and sculptor, who, during his last hour Of
life, emphatically refused to kiss crucifx
because it was badly made, and again that
incident recorded of the famous Rameau in
which the dying musician makes a last
rally to Indignantly exclaim to his confessor,
who had wearied him with long harangue:
"What on earth makes you come here and
chant to me, Monsieur lie Cure? You have
deuce of bad voice
These were all remarkable events to take
place right at the gateway Of death, but
none OF them surpasses the impressive scene
at the dsath-bed Of the late German states
man windthorst, who, miraculously recov-
ering his strength and voice. made one of
the most eloquent speeches ever heard from
one who, in his prime. was considered among
the leading orators Of his time.

Prevention of Rust In Boilers.

Prof Smithells, in speaking before the
Leeds (Englsnd) Association of Engineers,
endeavored to answer the question "How
can the action of rusting be prevented?"
He said many things had been tried. Iron
might be painted. and by the adoption of
certain precautions an effective method
might be arrived at. One preeaution was
that the metal must be perfectly clean. A
spot of rust embedded below coat of paint
would often break out of itself. There was
the method of covering the iron with oils
and tarry matters. There was also the pro-
cess of galvsnizing the iron; the process of
enameling. which was useful for small
articles, although the enamel was liable to
chip of, and the Bower-Barf process,
which was admirable. Alluding to boilers
he said that by putting soda into them, not
only was the scidity of the water corrected,
but something was introduced which would
absorb the csrbonic acid gas, and prevent
its acting in rusty capacity.

An original mode Of sounding FIRE alarm
Is adopted in town in Colorado. In that
region the revolver is considered an indis-
pensable article of daily wear, and affords
the quickest means Of announcing to the
rest of the community the impending dan
ger. Whenever fire is discovered rapid
and promiscuous discharge OF this frearm
spreads the news through the town. This
fairly we'll. 1t has. however. one drawback.
in that the fire department. as well as the
public, is often uncertain whether FIRE or
q fight is in progress, and whatever the
truth may turn out to be, somebody is sure
to be disappointed.

Combined Chair and Desk.

A combination chair and desk has been
designed for use in apartments where econ
omy of space is necessary. The back Of the
chair constitutes the desk, which is held in
position by bolts passing through the rear
standards of the chair back. In this man.
ner it is pivoted and can readily be turned
down. A pair of jointed braces pivoted to
the sides Of the desk and to the inner sides
of the standards supports the desk at a
proper inclination. 1t is supplied with a
swinging ink well. pen trays and oompart-
ments for stamps and stationery. A large
drawer under the seat forms a receptacle for
books and heavy stationery. When not in
use as desk. it Is closed up, being held in
position by turn buttons.

A Cheap Vegetal Butter.

A pure and wholesome butter substitute,
especially for cooking purposes. is being
made in Germany and Holland. 1t is what
its name implies, fatty substance, which
resembles butter, but contains no fat. It
consists only OF combinations of vegetal oils
extracted from cocoanuts and other plants Of
fruit which contain oil. Vegetal butter re-
quires salt when used, as none is employed
in the process of its manufacture. Its retail
price IL 18 cents per pound.

SOMETHING NEW UNDER THE SUN.

Cincinnati Times-Star.l
1t is often said that there is nothing new
under the sun. There are people who insist
that Caesar and Cicero knew of and used
the telegraph and the telephone and that
Shakespeare made plaything of the phono-
graph. There are others who declare that
the hanging gardens of Babylon were illu-
minated with electric lights, and that gas
was used in Noah's ark. -
But it remained for firm in the Arcade
to come to the front with something abso-
lutely new. "Hot popcorn fritters" is their
specially.

you must see that the card is not bent and
will lie fat on the table. For beginning
No. or No. 2 is the best kind. A boom
erang with sharp corner does its duty
more easily than one In which the curve Is
gradual or the angle obtuse, as il No. 8 and

The way to make it skim Is to lay 1t upon

your eyes, and give the outlying edge OF the

top, but only the side of the boomerang
near the end. You can guide the stick or
pencil by sliding it along the rim OF the
book as you strike. The missile viii shoot

ticles of iron disseminated through the air
along the line of the elevated roads by the
friction and conclusion of the trains. But
besides the more complex forms of disease
there are simpler and more primitive classes
for the cure of which less elaborate treat
ment is usually resorted to.
When any affection of the eye is depend
ent on the state of the surrounding tissues,
or a sluggishness in the circulation OF the
eyeball, and not due to an organic defect oil
the lens, or when the nerves Of the eye are
affected by sympathy with the nervous sys.
TEN generally, various simple remedies are
brought into requisition. Among these are
fermentation, rubbing Of the temples and
'dry cupping." The last named treatment
is regarded as improving the circulation OF
blood in and around the eye, and as restor-
ing the convexity of the cornea, thus curing
longsightedness, shortsightedness, weakness
of sight, dimness os vision and other aftec-
tions of the eve.
For such purposes various cups and India
rubber ball appliances are often employed,
and a modification of this treatment is the
subject of the illustration now given, which
shows q new invention just patented in
England. The merit of such devices as
these can only be determined by experience,
but pending thorough and reliable test of
the invention, it is but fair to regard the
claim of the inventor that he has devised an
improvement on the ivory cup and rubber
bali for cases where the regulation OF the
suction and tension is of the utmost i'm
portance, and has rendered possible the
more. effective placing of the cup attach
ments on the cornea of the eyes, as a sound
one; he has certainly devised an ingenious
modification of appliances now used.
In using the instrument the mouthpiece
is placed in the mouth, and the outer open
edges of the hollow cups are placed air.
tight over the eyes to be dry-cupped. The
suction then caused through the flexible
tnbss by the drawing in of the breath will
cause vacuum in the cups which will be
retained on the eyes. and the cornes Of the
eye will be drawn to the proper convex or
spherical form or sensation Of comfort, the
tongue meanwhile acting as valve on the
end Of the mouthpieee to maintain the eI-
haustion Of the air. The instrument is also
made with single flexible tube and cup for
operating on one eye at q time.
