THE KITCHEN FIRE

Is the subject of discussion in house
hold economy which the introduction
of gasoline stoves has done much to
solve. The advantage OF nsiug them
are testified to by a rapidly increasing
nnmber of housewives. who find them
selves relieved of the drudgery attend
ing the coal or wood fires. They have
more time to spare. since there is no
fuel to carry and they are not com
PEELED to give the. fire the watchfuI at
tentiOn to keep tin order; then there
is time saved by not haying to wait
for a mass OF metal to become heated
before the stove can be used, as the
fire IS ready for service the moment
the burner is lighted. The fuel bills
are less, as the expense stops as soon
as the need OF the FIRE IS over, and the
waste of neat Is reduced to a mini.
mum. There is no bending over a hot
stove to impair the health, and no over
heating the kitchen. There is saving
of food; q roast cooked by aIcoal fire
loses one-third, while but One-sev-
enBh is lost with gasoline stove.
We have in operation at our store a
full line of New Process" Stoves and
shall be pleased to show them at any

Those New York Elevators
New York Times.

The elevators In some Of New York's
tall buildings are run at speed calcu-
lated to disquiet the nerves of people
who are not accustomed to them. One
of the cars in the Equitable building the
other day was sent down, as the con-
ductor expressed it, ''for all she was
worth" There were several ladies among
the passengers, and one of them, gentle
faced, silvery haired grandma, was
particularly disturbed. She had given a
half smothered cry as the car dropped
story after story, and when she stepped
with the others out upon the stone floor
of the rotunda her face was covered
with tears and pitiful sobs shook her
slender form.
The young man who accompanied the
old lady endeavored to calm her with
reassuring words, but for some minutes
they were quite unavailing. At length
the tears ceased, and she was able to an
swer, though in a voice that was still
faint and trembling, the anxious ques-
tionings of her companion.
"Now, John, L amt SICK" the SYM
pathetic group that had gathered around
heard her say, "and l wasn't very much
scarf"
Then what makes you cry so?" asked
the man.
II know it's foolish" she answered"
"but when that thing went down SO
awful fast it gave me feeling right
here" and she placed thin hand just
below her heart, exactly like had the
day your father died. Oh, Johnl joint

Color Of Pure Water.
LSt. Louis Republic.]

ture water, especially sea water, is
impid, clear and transparent. 1t absorbs
all the prismatic colors. except that of Ill
tramarine, which being reflected in every
direction imparts to some bodies of water
a greenish tint and to others an azure
blue. The true tint of water when not
exposed to atmospheric influences is al
ways uniform, but it changes its color
in certain localities from the presence Of
infusoria, vegetable substances and mi
mute particles of other matter. Water in
natural state is said never to be wholly
pure. Drawn from a well, it may look
bright and sparkling and yet be full of
deadly poison to animal and human sys-
TENS.
Speaking generally, pure water always
has blush hue, yet some has a strong
yellowish or brownish tint, from the
presence Of iron or peat, and yet is free
from hurtful impurities. The blue tint
of water may be discerned in the follow
ing simple manner: Let down into the
water which is being experimental on
q metal tube Opened at the top and
closed with clean plato of glass at the
other end) near to some white object, a
big white bowlder, for an instance, where
the water is is or 90 feet deep. The
bowlder or other object, when viewed
through the tube, will be found to be of
a most beautiful blue color. 1t would
appear to be yellow if its color was due
to the light reflected by extremely small
particles of matter suspended in the
water

Undergraduate Perversity.


1t owed its existence to a passage In
"Charles O'Malley," in which Mr.. Frank
Webb disguised himself as an Inherent
organist and went about the streets of
Dublin playing on hurdy-gurdy and
collecting coppers. The government
ought to have dealt very generously
with our novelists, for few men have
sent SO many into the army as Charles
Lever or so many into the navy as Capt.
Marryat. have known more cases than
one of university men who have initiated
Levers whimsical notion of a practical
joke; several university men have gone
about the streets with blackened faces
as Christy minstrels.
A little gamin of the streets was, how
ever, too sharp for the undergraduate,
although he was got up in the most ap-
proved hurdy-gurdy style and worked
away Justify at the organ handle. The
short street boy followed him for some
time with greatadmiration, but with Sc
rious doubt in his mind. Then he walked
up to the itinerant musician and said:
you're not hurdy-gurdy man. Look
at your boots. Look at your hands. I'll
go and tell the proctor" The discom-
fitted undergraduate skedaddled to his
rooms, and sent his very moderate earn
ings to hospital

NEW YoRK'S WATER TOWER.
Department Chief Explains how the
Apparatus Is Worked.
Scribner's Monthly.


In principle the towers are very sim
pie. There is an iron tube so pivoted
over one end of truck that its top may
be raised to height of sixty feet above
the street pavement The upper end
terminates in a nozzle. Connected with
the bottom of the pipe is very large
hose. From two to four engines may be
coupled to this hose, and their united
streams forced up through the pipe and
out of the nozzle. The nozzle is con-
trolled by man on the truck, SO that
solid 2t inch stream may be directed
through the top windows of six story
building with ease and certainty. The
newest tower in the department differs
from the older ones in several important
details.
The old tower had to be raised by hand
power, and it was a slow and tresome
job. Moreover, the old tower was made
in sections and had to be screwed to-
gether by the men. The new tower has
twenty-eight foot pipe suspended in
side of slender steel derrick that is
twenty-five feet high. The derrick is
pivoted over the forward wheels of the
truck and when not in use it, with the
pile inside, lies prone upon the truck.
At fire the derrick is erected by means
of what may be called engine power
the piston rods of two cylinders, which
are very like steam engine cylinders,
connect with the bottom of the derrick.
Instead of steam, however, carbonic acid
gas, which is generated in retort sus-
pended near the rear axle of the truck,
is used.
This retort is partly filled with soda
and water, and when the time comes for
raising the tower small quantity of
vitriol is spilled into this mixture. The
gas is generated in sufficient quantity
to create a pressure in the cylinders of
above 1oopounds to the square inch, and
it is this power, exerted through the
cylinders, that raises the derrick. The
pipe is elevated above the derrick by
means of stout metal rope working
over pulleys and hand winch. The
stream from the tower can be swung
around in any direction and thrown up
or down through q wide arc
