Facts About Artificial Ice.

A simple and interesting fact-not
generally understood-is stated by Mr..
Fenald, as that on which the production
of artificial ice depends, namely, that
when the liquid evaporates it uses up a
great deal of heat, which it draws from
anything that happens to be around it
if can of water is at hand its tempera-
turc is reduced, and if the action goes
far enough the water will be frozen; this
cooling action can be felt by pouring a
little ether or alcohol upon the hand, the
liquid evaporating rapidly, and the loss
of the heat which it takes up cooling the
hand very perccptibly. Again, if bot
tie containing water is kept wet on the
outside with ether, the evaporation will
chill the water, and eventually freeze it,
this being essentially the process by
which the "carafes frappees' of French
restaurants are produced; that is, th' de-
canters filled with fresh water are ct in
the shallow tanks containing brine,
which remains liquid below the tempera
ture at which fresh water freezes-in
contact with these tanks being receivers,
which can be kept charged with newly
formed ether vapor-the chilling vapor
cooling the brine, and then in turn tax
ing heat from the water in the decanters,
which soon freezes. In making ice on a
large scale, either ammonia or sulphurous
oxide is used instead of ether, being
cheaper and uninhammable.- ~ Boston

The Tooth of the Fool.

Has the fool better teeth than the wise
man? asks the Pail Mall Budget. He
ought to have, if the theory put forward
by the president of the British Dental
association to account for the deterior-
alton of the British tooth be correct.
Smith Turner says:
Another competitor with the teeth for
sustenance is the brain. Phosphorus is
one of the great essentials to the center
of the nervous system. In starvation
certain organs are the latest to suffer
and are nourished and sustained at the
expense of the rest of the body. One
of these organs is notably the brain, and
so we are entitled to infer that in any
deficiency of the phosphates the ever
active brain, with its copious circulation
and energetic metabolism, is more likely
to appropriate its full, or approximately
full, share of the phosphates than are the
teeth, where hitherto we had hardly looked
for the catabolic process"
1t is, at any rate, some satisfaction to
reflect that if the world is becoming
more toothless it is at the same time be-
coming more wise. But will not the
phrase "wisdom tooth" want amending if
progress in wisdom entails not the gain
of teeth, but the loss of them?

A Military Monster.

One of the objects which most deeply
excited the interest of the officers of the
French feet, which recently visited
Portsmouth, was specimen of the new
Elswich quick firing gun of forty cali
bres length, which is to be adopted gen
orally in the British Navy. tits six-inch
gun, mounted upon an entirely new car
riage, which is 80 arranged that the line
of recoil is continuous with, and not
merely parallel with, the axis of the
weapon. 1t can be worked in case of
need by three men only, one of whom
may keep his eye continuously on the
sights, and fire at will. The rapidity of
fire is seven aimed shots per minute, and
with cordite as the explosive a muzzle
velocity of 1868 feet per minute has
been attained. The projectile weighs
100 pounds, and is capable of piercing
about fourteen inches of wrought iron at
a distance of 1000 yards. The powder
charge is introduced into the chamber
in a metal cartridge case, which, it is
found, materially reduces the wear and
tear of the inside of the
breech. The projectile is Independent
of the cartridge, because, if, as in small
of quick-tiring guns, it formed part of it,
the combination would be more than one
man could readily handle. But the sep
aration, it is claimed, does not much de-
lay the rapidity of fire, and the gun as it
stands is declared to be the most conven-
lent and formidable weapon of its weight

What the Vigilantes Accomplished.

The Vigilance Committee was new
departure in the jurisprudence of the
world. 1t may be called compromise
between the regular course of law, and
the action of the people without regard
to officers of the law. 1t was seizing up
ON the forces of a mob, arresting them in
their mad course, Harvesting them quiet
ly, and utilizing their powers in regular
form, systematically, coolly, and deliber-
ately. 1t was demonstration that had
never before been made, and it was left
to California to make it--while the law was
lying dormant on the one hand, and
trampled down and disgraccd on the
other, the people-the power of all gov
ernment in our system-determine to
execute in legal form what their servants
had neglected or ignored. While they
loved and revered the law. respected,
upheld, and applauded its faithful SER
wants, they contemned the faltering, and
scorned the false and faithless admin
istrators. In 1851 it cleared the country
of Sydney ex-convicts and all the worst
elements of the criminal class. In
1856 it saved San Francisco from the
rule of mob of political outcasts, bal
lot-box suffers, and recent immigra-
ton of other criminals. In 1877, in the
same place, the same people under differ
ent conditions, and yet in some regards
similar, finding danger from much the
same elements, but on more formidable
scale, determined to act under the law
The State government was in better
hands than in 1851 and 1915; the city
government was in better hands; the
country generally was in better condi-
ton. The influence of the Vigilance
Committee in 1856 had continued and
prevailed all the time. The ethics of
the State were of higher order than ut
the earlier date. The early expert
ences were valuable to individuals as well
as to the masses, and when called up for
self-government the people again demon
strated capacity that has few parallels

HE COULD OPEN ANY SAFE.
Exploits of A. C.. Hobbs, Hthe
Yankee LOck-Picker.'

The story of tn elate Alfred c. Hobbs's
experiences in picking the safety locks
used by banks forty years ago is full of
interest. His triumphs in the fifties,
which resulted in the great improvements
| of bank locks which exist to-day,
caused great excitement at the time, and
it was the resolution of lock makers to
stop his iconoclastic career so disastrous
to themselves that led to his exploit of
picking the Herring safe in New York
City.
The object which Mr.. Hobbs had in
picking locks was to demonstrate the
superiority of the lock which he was sell
ling, over that of all others then in use.
For this purpose he made his own tools.
His first notable feat was opening at
Stan ford, Conn, the lock and paddock
combination of the Andrews Bank lock,
supposed to be invincible. This task he
accomplished in twenty-three minutes.
For four years he continued his work,
when to stop him reward Of $500 was
offered to any one who would open
within thirty days the Herring safe in the
Merchants Exchange, New York.
Hobbs accepted the challenge and picked
the lock in less than an hour.
His exploits in London caused a Juror.
Bramah, the celebrated lock maker of
London, had on exhibition in his window
a lock of his own production. He offered
200 guineas to anyone who could open it
without key. Mr.. Hobbs studied the
lock through the window and then went to
his box and procured few tools. He
then went into Bramah's store and asked

A New Lawn Game.

Tema is tho name of new English lawn
game, and Caspian w. Whitney thus
describes it: "a screen of wood or canvas
fixed ON light frame and having in the
center a circular aperture eighteen inches
in diameter is erected. Behind the hole
is fixed a bag net, and the main object of
the players, who stand some distance
away, is to throw u number of colored
balls, by means of the wand, into this
bag. The wand has at one end pecu-
liarly shaped crook for holding the ball,
buy some little skill is necessary to retain
the ball in it for the purpose of making
the throw. The number of pot balls to
be scored by each side before it can
complete the first stage of the
game corresponds with the number of
players on each side. When either
side has scored the number of pot balls
agreed upon it enters upon the second
stage, and it at once obtains single
'zoned ball. Whichever side then first
succeeds in scoring it's 'zoned ball wins
the game. AS matter of fact, there is
nothing new about this game at all, ex-
cept the name and few changes. Indeed,
it is extremely old, being nothing more
or less than a modified Japanese polo
without the horses. There is nothing new
under the sun-that's old, but trust
worthy. - st. Louis Star-Sayings.

A Talk on Tacks.

This country beats the world for tacks,
aud sends them by the billion to house
wives in every quarter of the globe. The
Matchmaking machinery, too, is u wonder
of somi-inteligent mechanism. Itwould
be even more wonderful but for single
difficulty that has not yet been overcome.
An intelligent observer in tack mill
conceived the idea of utilizing electricity
in such manner as to increase the out
put of every tack machine tenfold. His
idea was to pick up the metallic blanks
from which the tacks are made, ten ut II
time, by means of series of magnets.
When he had his idea perfected he showed
it to the greatest of tack makers. The
manufacturer looked it over carefully
and said: "That is extremely ingenious,
but do you know that the blow which cuts
out the metallic blank converts it into u
magnet, and that your magnet would not
pick up the magnetized blank unless you
could be sure of getting opposite pole
together?"- New York Sun.

Did You Know This?

1t is well known that smooth disc
of steel driven at high speed will
cut in two file held to the edge of,
the disk. The principle does not
seem to have been practically used J
save in one instance named by Mr.
Richards, the well-known engineer
who states that it was employed in
the United States Armory in Spring
field, in preparing tenon, orreduced
section, on the ends of tempered steel
ramrods, such as were used in loading
the muskets of twenty-five years ago.
The material was hard and could not
be cut, so small wheels Of iron, about
six inches in diameter and one inch
thick, were used. They were driven
at 5000 revolutions per minute, and
melted or abraded the metal away
instantly, at the same time drawing
the temper, so that a screw thread
could afterward be cut on the end of
the tempered rod.

1t is not surprising to learn that
England heads the list Of foreign
claimants against the Chilian Govern
ment for damages incurred by the
late war, says a Washington paper.
Over $50, 900, 900 indemnity will be
asked for losses on nitrate works, and
there are individual English claims
amounting to $40, 900, 900 or 500, 000,-
300 more. The Spanish and Italian
claims amount to $4,000, 900 each,
while the United States, notwith-
standing the fact that Minister Egan
was insulted, the American Legation
policed and the war-ship Baltimore
mobbed, only puts in modest bill of
1926, 900.
English interests predominate, how
ever, and English cupidity always has
way. John Bull evidently intends to
put both feet on the nitrate beds and
foreciose his lien at the earliest op-
portunity. Between a big war debt
and its foreign creditors, Chilli will

guarded by beautiful and devoted
mother; his youth, full of promise; the
comely presence, winning manners, the
elevated mind and hot courage; his de-
votion to Polyxena; his death, the sacri-
fee of Polyxena, and their reunion in u

A yERITABLE HEROINE.

The discovery Of veritable heroine is
not such common event in these COM
monplace days as to go unheeded, albeit
she be old and weather-beaten. Her
name is Louise de Beaulieu, and she lives
in dingy little street near the Central
Market in Paris, France. For years her
occupation has been that of waking up
people who wished to get to work early
in the morning and were afraid of over
sleeping. Every morning long before
daylight, in all seasons and all kinds of
weather, she would make her rounds,
knocking on the doors of her patrons
houses or stalls, and rousing them so
that they could get to work in the market
on time. For this service she got small
fee from each, and thus eked out an
honest living. Her history is remark
able one. Before the war with Germany
she was a lady of Independent means.
Her patriotic enthusiasm led her to enter
the army as vivandiere. Thus she was
present at eight important battles, Nam

SUCCESSFUL WOMAN INVENTORS.

Among successful women inventors
are Mrs. Catharine Green, to whom is
due the invention of the improved cotton
gin. Mrs. A. Manning is the designer of
a reaper and mower and clover cleaner.
FAnother woman took out patent for an
improvement on this machine in the
shape of a device for changing the
knives without stopping the wheels.
Miss Maggie Knight is the inventor of
one OF the most complicated machines in
the world. 1t is used in the manufacture
of REINFORCED bottom paper bags. The
street-sweeper is also due to the ingenu-
ity of woman who had dress ruined
by defective sweeper; and after all the
great inventors and machinists had failed
to invent u device for deafening the
sound of car wheels on the elevated, u
woman, Mrs. Mary B. Walton, rode up
and down the road single day, caught
the idea, and went home to formulate
and patent it San Francisco Exami-

board copies of the same charts that he
had; facsimiles of the same nautical in
struments. The crew will be of the
same number, and it has been suggested
that to carry out the truth of history
there should be in the crew an English
man and an lrishman, for according to

William Harris, an Englishman, and
Arthur Lake, an Irishman, were mem
bers of Columbus crew.

the naval review it is proposed to have
this vessel transferred, with ceremony,

"LO, the Poor Indian.o

The three noted Indians, Joseph,
Moses and Lot, now in this city, are
specimens of a physical manhood that
will soon be lost to their race. Sturdy
sons of the mountains and table-lands of
the continent are they, with leathern
lungs and sinews of steel. The vices of
civilization have not tainted their blood,
nor its luxuries sapped their strength.
The past of their race is represented in
the persons of these warriors; the present
is mournfully told and the future patheti-
cally foreshadowed by the words of one
of them: The majority of our young
men have been attacked by pulmonary
consumption and the race is dying
out. - Portland Oregonian.
