An enthusiast on the subject states that
each head OF clover is composed of about
sixty distinct flower tubes, and each OF
these contains sugar not to exceed the five
nundredth part of grain. The proboscis
OF the honey bee must therefore be inserted
into 5oo clover tubes before one grain OF
sugar can be obtained. There are zoos
grains in pound, and as honey contains
three-fourths of its weight of dry sugar,
each pound of clover honey would repre-
sent the insertion of its proboscis into
1850, 900 clover heads.

THE BALANCED ROCK OF TANpII.

The remarkable example shown in the
cut, reproduced from La Nature occurs at
Tandil, South America, now Buenos Ayres
The Popular Science News says that the
most striking popularity of this and other
balanced stones is the fact that they can
readily be made to move or oscillate by the
application of comparatively weak force
The stone of Tandil, for instance, can be
moved by pushing it with a single finger;
but the center Of gravity is so low that
only small amount of vibration can be
produced, and it would not be possible to
overturn it by any ordinary means. The
cause of the balancing of these rocks is not
very mysterious. 1t is simply case of nat
ural balancing, due to the shape of the
rock and the force Of gravitation.

Electric Light Diminished by Smoke.

Through experiments made by English
military authorities it has been found that
whenever the atmosphere is laden with
smoke or mist the power of an electric
heht Is greatly diminished by crossing the
beam OF light by that of another at Ger.
tam angle. AT the point Of intersection
the Illuminated space is practically made
screen. The Industrial World says that il
is proposed to utilize this knowledge, sine,
the electric beam can thus be made to serv.
as screen, back of which tactical opera

Glass for Optical Purposes.

A new method for the preparation OF
glass for optical purposes has been devised
in Sweden, and, according to foreign ex.
change, has met with marked success. The
main improvement is said to consist in
adding to the composition of the glass GER
tain quantities of phosphorus and chlorine,
which impart to it an absolute transpar-
ency, great hardness and susceptibility of
the finest polish. For achromatic lenses
and fine optical instruments this glass is
far superior to any make hitherto known.
and it is said that the power of microscopic
lenses can be greatly increased by this pro
cess.

discussion was started by an address of

LEARNING IS NOT KNOWLEDGE

He who has read the profound and

A LITERARY SENSATION

Since the departure Of Amelie
kives-Chanler from this country al
most Immediately after her marriage.
we have had only brief newspaper par
agraphs concerning her life and inten-
lions. Not little curiosity has been
displayed as to the possibility of her
complete withdrawal from the field of
letters. 1t is now nearly three years
since anything of importance appeared
from her pen, but no one has believed
That the exceptionally brilliant author
OF "A Brother TO Dragons" had fin
ished her career as a writer. A recent
paragraph in the daily papers an
nounced the fact that Mrs. Rives-
Chanler was hard at work upon a new
novel destined to arouse the entire lit
erary world by its artistic merit
and bold originality. There have been
many conjectures advanced as TO the
probable source through which the
new novel would be given to the pub
lie. Notwithstanding the high prices
which Mrs. Chanler demands for her
manuscripts, it was known that many
publishers were in the field in comDe-
tition for her latest work. While
many rumors were anoat, the Cosmo-
politan magazine had quietly secured
IL and placed it in the hands of a
famous artist in Paris for Illustration.
III is announced now that the first
chapters will appear in the August
number of the Cosmopolitan, and that.
Ia the estimation Of critics who are
most competent to Judge, this last
story will be the most finished, as well
as interesting, product of this versatile |
southern pen. The story is likely to
be the literary sensation of the year. |
Its publication in the Cosmopolitan is
that it will contain nothing
'f the kind that excited criticism in
Amelie Rives' earlier productions.

Pennsylvania's Fair Building.
THE SELECTION OF A DESIGN TO BE
MADE KNOWN NEXT MONTH.


The committee appointed to select
a design Tor Pennsylvania building at
the Columbian Exposition has an.
nounced positively that its decision
would be held absolutely secret until
the meeting of the Board of Managers
on December 10. The Boards con
currence in the committees decision is
essential, and it would place both com
mlttee and competitors in a rather
awkward position if the board as a
whole, should chance to favor a design
not selected by the committee.
Such an outcome is hardly probable,
however, as the committee is a most
excellent one and is doing its work
thoroughly and Systematically. 1t is
most likely that some important rec
concentrations will be made at the
December meeting, and that the ses-
sion OF the Board promise to be the
most important Of any yet held.

Ballot Boxes Examined.
POINTED UNDER THE BAKER
BALLOT ELL.

HARRISBURG, Nov. Is. The Su-
preme Court room to day was crowded
with people who were Interested in the
meeting of the State Board appointed
to select ballot boxes and booths to
carry on the election under the Baker
ballot bill. There were present, Sec
retary Harrity, Secretary Stewart, Au.
dltor General McCamant, and Treas
urer Boyer, beside County Commission
ers from all over the State. Represen-
tatlve Baker, of Chester, the champion
of the ballot bill, and Charles f. Bin
ney, of Philadelphia, secretary of the
Ballot Reform Association, were there.
Eight different ballot boxes were on
exhibition. All sorts of guard rails,
and number of patterns for booths to
be made of various kinds of material.
Each had its peculiar characteristic,
and the board gave every agent an op-
porturity to explain the merits of his
box, booth and rail, permitting the as
sembled County Commissioners to ask
such questions as they desired.
Secretary Harrity announced that
the Commissioners were invited to be
present to offer such suggestions as
would assist the board in arriving at
proper conclusion. The board will
give its decision at a meeting to be
held hereafter. There is questiop,n
the minds of the officials composing
the board whether they have anything
to do with ballot boxes, it being the
impression that the style of booth and
guard rail only are to be determined.
The board made no decision whatever,
but will examine into the merits of all
and make known its choice at another
meeting.
