A Share in a Jewel.

There is a story told of French savant
who was shown a priceless jewel by a
great duke.
Thank you, my lord duke" said the
man of science, ''for allowing me to
share with you the possession of SO great
treasure"
''In what way% said the duke.
"Why, your grace can do no more
than look at it, and you have allowed
me to do the same. All the Year

THAT which man sees or hears NAV
drop away from him as easily as it
dropped upon him; but that which he
has learned to know, the ideas he has
cherished, the truths he has assimilated,
the principles he has espoused, the the
ories he has worked out and tested
these may be truthfully called his very
own. No enemy can take them from
him, no stroke of adversity can rob him
of them. Just as our food, when proper
ly digested, passes into our flesh and
blood, to nourish and sustain them, so
knowledge thoroughly learned passes in
to the structure of the mind and becomes
an indestructible part of our very selves.

Clothing of the Esquimaux.

Clothing for men consists of knee
breeches, belted at the loins, loose
fitting cloak trimmed around the bot
tom, and the hood with wolf or wolverine,
or blending of both, pair of stockings
and short legged pair of boots with
sealsBin sOles. In winter two suits are
worn, the inner suit with the hair next
the body and the outer with the hair
turned out.
The difference between the dress of
men and women is that the latter have
their boots, stockings and pantaloons all
in one garment. The cloaks of all fe-
males have at the back of the neck a
fullness for carrying infants.
These cloaks come down below the
knees and are gored out at the sides up
to the hips, making the front look like
an apron.-Exchange

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, 30
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 a telephone wire R
and it's total capacity in microferads K,
successful speaking, with our present
instrument, is really an impossibility
when the product KR Of the resistance
of the line in ohms by it's 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 ac-
count of the enormous cost of conduct
or Of low resistance and capacity, if for
no other reason.-Electrical Engineer.

STRENGTHENING Cast Iron.

Some of the most prominent iron
founders are introducing new and SIM
pie practice in order to secure stronger
castings, the method in question consist
ing in placing thin sheets of wrought
iron in the center Of the mold previous
to the operation Of casting. This method
was first resorted to. it appears, in the
casting Of thin plates for the ovens Of
cooking stoves, it being found that q
sheet Of thin iron in the center Of quar-
ter inch oven plate rendered it practi-
cally unbreakable by fire.
This result has led to the process be-
ing now applied to the casting Of large
iron pipes. core Of sheet iron imparting
additional strength and lessening the
liability to any fracture. As an evil
dence Of the additional strength capable
Of being impaired by this means, it IL
stated that plate Of iron one-fourth Of
an inch thick, cast with perforated
sheet Of 27-wire gauge wrought iron in
the center. possessed six times the
strength of a similar cast plate with no
core. The quarter inch plate had the
strength Of plate one inch thick.-New
York Sun.
