cording to their shape, those made by tho
dies which stamp tho bottoms and COW

made by the shears in cutting the tin
for the sides are bundled and boxed.
The clippings are smelted down in u
furnace, the tin with which they are
coated being melted and drawn off sep
arately, while the molten mass of metal
which composed the plate is run into
molds and formed into window weights
and other useful articles. The bright
tin strips Of various sizes are utilized in
sundry ways, forming tin tags for the
ornamentation Of plug tobacco, button
molds, ornamental baskets and dozens

Some time ago the electrical papers
described a device which was success
fully used In park mt Munich, Bava-
ria, for the destruction OF insects. The
insects were attracted by powerful
electric protector, and then drawn down
by an exhaust fan to n kind Of grinding
mill, and after being crushed in which
they were mixed with -four and water,
baked and used for feeding poultry. Pos
sibly melted by the success of this mr.
rangcment, u Washington farmer pro
poses to wage electric war ON the insects
that nightly play havoc with tho fruit
trees in his orchard.
His plan is TO have powerful lamps
put in Mt an elevation of few feet above
tho tops of his apple trees. Each lamp
or burner is to be surmountcd by'a steel
wire screen, umbrella shaped, each al
ternato wire being charged and the other
grounded. When the light is turned on
in the evening it will attract the oswarins
of winged insects, which will dash
against the electrically charged screen
and be instantly destroyed. The farmer
says no can dispense with the elaborate
process adopted in Munich for the prep
aration of food for tho fowls, as ever
member Of his poultry yard will be
promptly on hand next morning and
will help himself.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

.Inpnnese In America.

There is strong desire on the part of
young Japanese to come to the United
States to acquire or perfect themselves
IN the English language and complete
their education. The welcome given to
earlier students has led many who have
entirely insufficient means to undertake
the journey--to come, indeed, with
scarcely more than enough to pay their
passage to this country. Others, better
provided for, have no idea of the in
creased cost Of living here, while many
hope to receive aid from persons who
may become interested in them here or
to find some employment while they are
carrying on their studies.
The practical results are not always
fortunate, and many Of the students re-
ferred to would be better off at home.
The reputation Of having been educated
in Europe or America has a certain
value at present in Japan, however, and
the Japanese students are, almost with.
out single exception, q credit to theii
native country.-Philadelphia Ledger.

Sentimental SuIcitles

The crop Of suicides is larger this

their mortal shackles amid wealth and
luxury. II IL remarkable that these un-

one Of the keepers of the morgue today
how he accounted for this.
His reply confirmed my own opinion.
Said he: "You notice that most Of the
'stiffs' are women, don't you? Well,
them's all sentimental snicides.' The

One Of the delicate delights Of tho

The Greek story OF tho First Woman.
The first woman created, according TO
heather Greek mythology, was Pandora.
She was made Of clay by Vulcan, at tho
request of Jupiter, who wished TO punish
tho impiety Of Prometheus by giving
him wife. When this woman Of clay
had received life all the gods We'd max
ing her present.. Venus gave her
beauty; the Graces gave her the power
of captivating; Apollo taught her music.
Mercury instructed her in cloquence,
and Minerva gave her the most splendid
ornaments. From these presents. re-
ceived from the gods, tho woman was
called Pandora, which intimates that
she had received every necessary gift.
Prometheus was too artful to marry
this woman and could not be captivated
by her charms, but his brother, Epi-
metheus, who was not so prudent, mar
ried her instead, and upon opening n
box which she presented to him there is
sued from it multitude of evils, which
dispersed themselves over tho world and
still continue to afflict the human race.
Hope only remained at the bottom TO
assuage the troubles and sorrows of life.
