Submarine Telephones.

The difficulty of submarine telephony
over great distances is the fact of con-
siderable electrostatic capacity in the
cable, the result of this being retarda-
ton and reformation of the electrical
impulses transmitted. If line could be
made of very, very low resistance, so
that the electric current would have the
freest possible discharge, the evil effect
of this capacity would be in part done
away with. The relation between these
two things has been determined in a
somewhat empirical way. Calling the
total resistance of telephone wire r
and its total capacity in microferads X,
successful speaking, with our present
instrument, is really an impossibility
when the product KR of the resistance
of the line in ohms by its capacity in
microferads is greater than about 10000.
In the very best Atlantic cable KR
equals somewhere near 5000, 900, so that
unless there should be some totally new
developments in telephony we can see at
once that successful telephoning across
the Atlantic is very improbable on &C
count of the enormous cost of conduct
or of low resistance and capacity, if for
no other reason.-Electrica Engineer.

A New Use for the Ring.

Whatever the measures adopted, the
principle Of isolation is the essence of all
genuine disinfection. It's efficiency for
this purpose was well shown at EPSON
common. One of the children in gypsy
encampment having been taken i'll with
scarlet fever, was, along with its mother,
very successfully separated from the rest
of the community by the simple expedi-
ent of ring fence made of rope drawn
around the infected tent and regularly
watched.
The result was that the slow progress
Of convalescence was passed through and
disinfection completed without further
extension of the disease. The surveyor,
Mr.. Harding, is to be congratulated on
the success of his novel and effectual
maneuver. The satisfactory result thus
easily attained is of obvious Importance,
and the simple method employed de-
serves to be remembered in case of emer-
gencies of similar kind.-London Lam

The Fashionable Dinner Table.

The fashionable dinner table Is square.
1t should be large enough to accom-
modate comfortably the number of
people TO be seated. no more guests
should be invited than will serve
to make twelve people in all, on ac-
count of the number Of pieces of
china in each course of dinner service.
Heavy white damask is used for the
tablecloth, and this should be hem
stitched all around. The fashionable
patterns in damask are small figures,
and these mostly In the form OF fine
ferns, fine flowers, single rosebuds, pinks,
chrysanthemums, carnations and long
grasses. In the center Of the table is
placed the piece of dainty linen beauti-
fully embroidered in colored silks, rep
resenting national flowers in all their
brilliancy.
Upon this centerpiece is placed the
bouquet or flowers, or the large Candida
bra. The smaller embroidered pieces,
which are used under separate dishes
and condiment jars, should be exact i'm
itations Of the centerpiece, and if that is
square, all the small pieces should be
square; If round, the same rule holds,
and if the edges are serrated the edges
of all must be cut in the same shape

Should any of the following symptoms
be experienced, an oculist of repute
should be consulted: Spots or sparks Of

holding Of objects at arms length or
close to the eye; squirting one eye or
seeing objects double; dizziness or dart

Shooting Guns at Night.

Illuminated night sights are now in
use on the guns of many of the British
warships The front sight consists of a
pale green glass, point up, beneath which
is placed small incandescent lamp.
The rear sight is similar in principle, ex-
cept that instead of the cone there is a
metal crossbar with V notch in the
middle.
There is a polished under surface to
this sight from which light that first
passes through ruby glass is reflected.
In sighting the pale green point of light
which constitutes the forward sight is
brought to the bottom of the V notch in
the rear sight and the line of the ruby
light is brought into coincidence with
it. The electric current for each gun is
supplied by battery of two elements,
so arranged that the action may be
stopped by turning the battery upside
down.-Philadelphia Record.

The Effect of Travel.

1t is impossible to compare nations as
if they were individuals. Each nation
has, so to speak, grown up in an atmos-
phere of its own. We must recognize
the peculiarities of other people as neces-
sary features of them, and by no means
as characteristics meant to excite laugh
ter in the rest of the world. When first
travelled abroad / was much amused
by the way the common German eats
with his knife. But habit and meas
IRE of experience have toned down these
feelings until they hardly exist in me-
And nowadays am as much at home
with the long haired woodman of Sar-
dinian forest. in his grimy little hut, as
in my own English den among my books

Nose Ornaments OF Barbar,sn..

The ornaments put through the walls
of the nose vary greatly. There may be
but one perforation in each wall or there
may be several. In New Zealand flowers,
in New Guinea boar's tusk. In the Solo
mon islands crabs claw, in New Britain
thorns, set upright, are the objects thus
worn. These are all original and primi-
tive; after the natives come in contact
with whites, these give place to metal
buttons and rings. In the Sturgis col
lection is rather pretty nose ornament
from New Guinea. II Is v shaped, and
the arms fit by stud shanks, one into each
wall of the nose.-Professor Frederick
Starr in Popular Science Monthly.
