"Beduty pithout grace

the French think. Whether it be true
or not, there are many American women
who do not even possess the hook-beau-

A SCIENTIFIC INVENTION.
An Astronomical Instrument Which He'
cords the Users Observations.

An Astronomical Instrument Which Ne-
cords the Users Observations.
Carleton College observatory has Sc
cured curious instrument invented by
a scientist at Washington and called
personal equation machine, says a
Mortified letter to the st. Paul Pioneer
Press.
The object Of the instrument is to
harmonic the observations Of different
persons who are working together. at
different times or at the same time.
Astronomers well know that no two per-
sons SEQ exactly alike, by which is
meant. for example, no two persons will
say that n star passes q wire in telc-
scope ut exactly the same instant. One
viii record its apparent passage SLOW on
true time, while another will almost
uniformly put its time fast. Observers
unconsciously form n habit of secin-
objects fast or slow on true time, and the
better the observers the more steady
this error isa compared with trao timc.
This error the astronomer calls the per
sonal equation of the observer. In
amount the personal equation varies
from OF of a second CT time to some
thing more than half a second for differ
ent observers, either fast or slow on true
time. Such errors as these can not be
tolerated at all in astronomical obserya-
tions for fundamental or original work
of a nice kind, but must be in some way
eliminated before final reductions can
be attempted.
To accomplish this in one way an in
genious machine has been constructed,
which sets in motion an artificial star
quite like the appearance Of real star
in the telescope. AS this artificial star
passes wires in the machine the observ
err records his observations and the in
strument automatically records the ex-
act time of the real passage of the star
over the same wires. Now both records
are made by the aid of the electric cur
rent, and consequently are perfectly
true. These records are taken automatic
ally in ink on an instrument called
chronometer, and hence their differ
ences can be measured with the utmost
accuracy, and in this way the error of
the observer on true time is satisfactor-
lily known.
The machine is in use every night
that Observers work either together or
singly, so that changes in individual
personal equations may be detected, as
well as the differences that may exist
between observers. The instrument,
therefore, furnishes an unvarying stand
ard for accu rate observation.

The boat life of Siam includes almost
all life. Business and pleasure, health
and happiness, all center in the river
or its branches. A boat and u paddle
are almost as natural and indispensable
possessions to Siamese as his arms or
legs. lie has no notion of travelling any
distance except by boat and the idea of
living in place inaccessible by water
generally strikes him as absurd. Three
weeks to come down stream with full
cargo; week to dispose of il and in
dulgein the gayeties OF tho capital; four
or five months to get back with the
emptied boat, and the rest of tho year
for teamwork at home-such is the pro-
gramme for many a Siamese family
which lives as contentedly and placidly
as the pfofoundest philosopher.

A Very Large Lung.

A chemical lung is the latest thing
proposed for the ventilation of tunnels
1t was lately tested in London by four
teen scientists. A room 15x2S was kept
for an hour at temperature OF SO de-
grees, and the air was loaded with i'm
purities. The men of science were now
called upon to enter, and the air was
made still more impure by burning sui
phur and carbonic acid gas. Then the
chemical lung" or so called punkah,
measuring 4x2.6, was set in motion.
The temperature was soon reduced TO
65 degrees. and the air freed from all
impurities. Then fat was burned to
test the machine for organic substances,
and the lung" was started up just in
time to prevent the examining gentlo-
men from running out for fresh air

readiness for shipping to the exposition,
where it has but to be copied by enlarge
ment. Final action on this matter has
not yet been taken by the management
of the fair, but there is understood to bt
no doubt that the scheme as above out
lined will be carried out. sge
The intention is to construct the
building not of bricks, like the original
tower, inasmuch as that would be too
costly, but of iron and according to the
best methods of modern engineering.
| One disadvantage of ancient Babylonian
architecture was that it was particularly
unstable. The houses, palaces and tenn
pies, however magnificent and expen-
! siyely built, being made of sun-dried
brick, with burned bricks only for fac
ing, always tumbled down within at
most century. Such was the fate Of
the Tower of Babel itself, though ii
was rebuilt at least once by Nebuchad-
nczzar. The city of Babylon, which
had 100000 inhabitants and covered
twice the area of London, stood upon an
immense plain of clay very suitable fol-
bricks, and there was no stone of any
kind to be. had. Myriads of slaves, toll
ing under merciless drivers, built the
astonishing public works executed by
the kings of Babylon, just as was the
case with the pyramids of Egypt

MICROBES AT WAR.
A Wonderful Revelation OF Modern
Science.

A Wonderful Revelation OF Modern
Science.
The revelations OF the microscope as
to the existence of myriads of microbes
in our bodies, as well as in all that we
eat and drink, has caused timid people
much anxious wonderment as to why
these creatures are not more injurious
and destructive than they actually are
Writing in the Speaker. Sir Henry
Roscoe explains how it is that even the
deadliest OF these microbes may be
found in the mouth or other parts of the
body, and yet their host be perfectly
healthy. The question is not one of
the mere presence OF these organisms
in the body, but entirely one as to
whether or not they find their way into
the blood. II they do not all is we'll;
If they do the most serious trouble fol-
lows.
Working with the microscope in M.
Pasteur's laboratory in Paris, Russian
physician, NJ. Metschinikof, has been
able to discover the secret of the impo-
tence Of the microbe to penetrate into
the blood. These most recent investi-
cations show that there are certain cells
contained in the blood of all the higher
animals termed phagocytes, and identi-
cal with the well-known white blood
corpuscles, which are endowed with the
power of Independent motion, and not
only wander inside, but even make their
way outside the tissue, and pursue, de-
your and digest any bacilli, whether
