How a King Keeps Cool.

Although one may not keep cool, it is
some satisfaction to read how Others
manage it. There is the King of Siam,
for instance. He is said to have in one
OF his country palaces a wonderful pavil-
ion. 1t was built by Chinese engineer
as a refuge for the King during the ex-
treme heat of summer. The walls, cell
ing and floors are formed of pieces Of
plate glass an inch thick. They are so
perfectly fitted together with trans.
parent cement that the joints are inyis-
ible and no fluid can penetrate. The
pavilion is twenty-eight feet long and
seventeen wide, aud stands in the middle
of huge basin made of beautiful
colored marbles.
When the King enters the pavilion the
single door is closed and cemented. Then
the sluice gates are opened and the b9s.u
is filed with water. Higher and higher
it rises, until the pavilion is covered and
only tho Ventilators at the top connect it
with the open air. When the heat of the
sun is so great that the water almost boils
on the surface of the freshest fountains
this pavilion is deliciously cool. And
this is the way the KING of Siam cools
himself off in hot weather. 1t sounds
very delightful.

Preserving Iron From Rust.

The beautiful ironwork so much in
vogue nowadays, is generally finished,
on account of its susceptibility to rust,
with coating OF black lacquer, or some
other preparation, which is not Only in
appropriate but gives to the metal an
unnatural appearance. A clever French
man, who was an expert in metal work,
showed US such SIMPLE and effective
way of preserving it from rust, that it is
worth remembering. The only material
required is a cows horn (the toy trum-
pets sold in the shops will answer the
purpose). Heat the iron and rub the
edge of the horn over it-that is all. II
the horn smokes little as you rub it on
ycu will know that the iron is hot
enough. This will cause the horn to
melt, and an imperceptible coating will
be left upon the iron that will afford
complete protection from the damp for
year or more on outdoor work. On in
door ironwork it will lass indefinitely

The question why a piece of solid irol
floats on molten iron has been satisfacto
rily answered by DR.. Anderson and Mr.
Wrightson. The cold metal is reall,
heavier than the molten, and when frs
placed in the latter it sinks by virtue o
Its weight; but growing warmer it ex
pands, and thereby becoming speciicall
lighter it rises to the surface. After
time, however, it again shrinks an
melts into the fluid mass around it.
Some of the most prominent iro
founders are introducing new and sim

castings, the method in question consist
ing in placing thin sheets of wrough
iron in the center of the mold previous t
the operation of casting. This metho
was first resorted to, it appears, in tn
casting of thin plates for the ovens G
cooking stoves, it being found that
sheet of thin iron in the center of
quarter-inch oven plate rendered it praC
tically unbreakable by fire.

History Of Lighthouses.

The history of the lighthouse goes
back to the time when your neighbors
didn't fling things into your back yard.
1t is claimed that Virgil had knowledge
of lighthouse, and that he stated that
one was placed on tower of the temple
of Apollo, on Mount Leucas, the light of
which, visible far out at sea, warned aud
guided mariners. 1t Is even said that
the colossus of Rhodes, erected 300 years
before the birth of Christ, showed from
his uplifted hand a signal light. But the
famous Pharos of Alexandria, built 2S5
B. c., is the first light of undoubtcd rec.
cord. Other lights were shown from
towers at Ostia, Ravcnua, Apamea, but
the lighthouse at Corunna, Spain, is be-
lieved to be the oldest sea town. This
was built in the reign of Trojan, aud in
1884 vas reconstructed. England and
France have towers built by their Roman
conquerors, which were used as light,
houses, and they are to-day marvels il

There is no doubt, states the Detroit
Free Press, that the worlds fair will be
somewhat influenced by European poll
tics. With Germany aud England in
close friendship aud Russia allied with
France to Offset the power of the drei-
bund, there is very sensitive and jealous
feeling in all quarters, and our commis-
sioners will need to use infinite tact in
order to bring all these countries to the
point of making generous exhibitions at
Chicago. OF England we are certain,
and probably of Germany; but France
seems coy, and it is not unlikely that
Russia will need degree of persuasion
to induce her to 30 justice either to her
self or to the ran.
