In . snakes Head.

There is belief current in all parts
OF India that certain variety OF snake
called shesh nag, when 1t attains the
age OF 1000 years, has a precious
jewel formed in its head. The jewel, 1t
is affirmed, possesses the quality OF
sucking up the poison OF tho deadliest
snake II applied to the wounded part
Strangely enough n Parsee gentleman
Is reputed to possess this invaluable
jewel, according to correspondent OF
a Gujarati weekly, published ut Wadh-
wan. in Gujarati.
The correspondent says that when
the present owner-who, by the way Is
now 63-was % years old he lighted
upon u snake OF the aforementioned
variety, which he killed, Then he
found the jewel in its head. 1t has
already saved several lives. When
Mr.. Vidal, the Collector OF the District.
was there it was shown to him, too.
The jewel is said to contain thin
crescent-like fiber. which increasingly
oscilates in the center. The galkwar
of Baroda, the maharajah OF Kolhapur
and several Of the native Princes are
said to have offered several hundred
thousand rupees for this unique jewel.
The name of the owner Is Framji

A GOOD Complexion.

How few people know what good
complexion IL! A very young man Is
apt to think that the girl whose COM
plexion IL wonderfully white. with just
q spot Of pink In her cheeks, is lovely.
Now, any doctor could tell him that q
course Of cod liver oil was what that
girl wanted. An elderly man Is apt to
think that . woman with a very high
color possesses Nm extremely good
complexion; nine times out of ten she
either laces too tight or eats too much
What is good complexion, thenp A
good complexion Is one that comes and
goes-not from the rouge pot or the
powder box-but one that has o
creamy background in harmony with
the eyes and hair, over which there Is
a good shading OF pink that deepens
when any emotion Is felt or which
pales when fright Is experienced. A
good complexion can always stand a
little sunburn and . few frcckles, and
that is one reason why cannot UNDER
stand the great desire d the average
girl to abolish these kisses OF the sun.

sembles an enlarged open-face watch
case, and has in it's rim o minute in
candescent lamp and reflector. On
placing the watch in the case and
pressing small stud the face of the
watch is brilliantly lighted. A dry bat
terry supplies the current, and may be
placed in a closet, with flexible con-
Quoting cord leading from it to the
head OF the bed or stand on which the
watch is placed. The pater-familias

in the serene consciousness that the
wakefulness OF his spouse is likely to
lead to no more disastrous conse-
quences than the touching OF the but.

Paper Belts.

The most unlimited use to which
paper pulp is put proves this to be
one OF the most valuable, and ut the
same time cheapest and easily work
ed, of American products.
In one form or another it has been
adapted to the manufacture OF q
variety OF utensils for household use,
and applied to mechanical and indus
trial products with equally good re-
suits.
AS a substitute for iron, m etal and
wood it has proved n success, and in
many cases, superior to either OF
these, being lighter, equally strong and
durable.
It has been found an excellent sub.
stitute for iron in the manufacture OF
car wheels, and for the driving wheels
of locomotives. Pulleys are made OF
1t that are pronounced superior to
those of either wood or iron. In the
manufacture of pals, tubs and other
household utensils it is extensively
used. But there is one use to which
it has been put that is more surpris-
ing than any of the Others. We refer
to it's use for betting.
For some time one of the largest
paper manufacturing establishments
in this country has been turning out
paper belts that are declared superior
in many respects to either leather or
gum.

Latest Phases Of Electricity.

1t would hardly be supposed that
the FREELY and the glowworm could
give points to the electrician in the
matter of illumination. The fitful
light of the one and the modest glow
of the other do not appear to excel
in any respect the briliancy OF the
arc-light or the brightness of the in
candescent lamp. Prof. Langley has
shown, however that our best sources
OF light are surpassed by nature in one
very important respect; the produc-
ton OF light unaccompanied by heat.
OF the energy supplied by gas and oil
for lighting purposes much more than
30 per cent is given out OF heat. Even
in the electric arc-light the waste is 90
per cent and in the incandescent lamp
o. per cent. The insect world is
much more economical.
The most careful measures made
with the most delicate bolometer fail
to show any sensible heat in the light
of the FREELY. There is no reason why
nature should not be successfully imi-
tated in this respect, and Prof. Hertz
hopes to make q practical application
of his discovery in method of OBJ
tanning better results than we now do
from our present ordinary means in
getting electrical vibrations sim1ur in
every respect to those OF greater wave
length. By modifying his original APP
paratus he has some prospect Of pro-
ducing waves 40 much shorter that oil
of them will be luminous; in other
words, of developing a new source
of light without heat. The result, IL
successful, will be an entirely new
method Of illumination differing as
widely from the electric lights as they
do from gas and lamp light, and sur
passing them all in economy and COM
ort.-Robert w. Prentiss, in the

Ancient Roman Roads.

Writing in the Manchester. N. H.,
Mirror and American, on ancient
Roman roads, John Gilmer Speed
says:
In laying out highway the old
Roman engineers seemed to practice a
plan which would seem very strange
to us. Whether or not they made a
preliminary survey for the purpose of
observing the Typographical features
OF the country the records do not
speak, but it is manifest to my mind
that they did not. They knew with
er they wished to go. Standing at the
starting point, some landmark in the
proper direction would be selected,
and the road located on an absolutely
straight line to that point. Then a
trench was dug the entire length until
some kind of solid foundation was
found. When @ foundation of sol.
id rock was found the low
est course of masonry was
omitted. This masonry consisted of
three courses, each about IL inches
thick. The lowest course was OF large
flat stones, put in with reference to
bearing, the interstices filled with
sprawls and the whole grouted with
cement. The second course was of
concrete-that is, small stones mixed
with cement mortar, and the surface
of this was smoothed very carefully.
On top of this the third course was
laid. and this consisted of polypOnal
blocks fitted with the utmost nicely.
These roadways were from 16 feet
wide from curb to curb, and beyond
the curbing on each side of the road
was foot pavement 2 feet wide. The
stone of which these roads were built
was usually ofvolcanic origin and very
hard and black in color. Notwith-
standing the substantial character OF
these roads, the utmost weight which
each class of vehicle was permitted to
carry was regulated by law, and these
laws were strictly enforced.
