IT MAY CHEAPEN ELECTRICITY.

Likely to Work Wonders.

f rench improvement on Faraday's Disk
Likely to Work Wonders.
Two French scientists have recently dis
covered an entirely new property of Fara-
days disk, and the result may be an import
ant improvement IN the dynamo. 1t will be
remembered that Faraday discovered the
principle of the dynamo when he attached
one end of the wire to the center of copper
disk revolving between the poles OF mag
net and the other end at the circumference.
A current of electricity was thus produced
on the wire, and this simple experiment re-
suited in the commercial dynamo, says the
Philadelphia Record
Instead of the Faraday disk, the French
scientists employ thin plates of a certain
constitution not yet made public. Ihese
plates are composed, in the direction OF their
thickness. of very magnetic and hignly
conducting metal, and are so placed
that the lines of force OF the he!d OF tne
magnet are perpendicular to this direction
of thickness. Thus, it is said, the how OF
induction which proceeds from the nortn
pole of the magnet is divided into several
sheets of parallel lines, which are very close
together and which only traverse the mag
nectic portions of the bimetallic conduc-
tors.
The discoverers of This property con-
structed a small machine employing this
principle, and Il was found that the avail
able energy of the machine increases at .
rate which is practically proportional to
the height of the conductors The results
achieved are remarkable, and are believed
to indicate q valuable discovery Of great
commercial importance.

To Breathe Through the Nose.

1t has long been known that if people
would only keep their mouths shut and
breathe through the nose, natures respira-
tor, they would avoid variety of serious
ailments. DR.. F. A. A. Smith now insists
that large proportion of diseases of the
throat are attributable to the neglect of this
habit. He says that mothers should see to
it that their little ones do not acquire the
habit of mouth breathing, and.it they have
acquired it, steps should Immediately be
taken to rid them of it. One of the SIM
this can be done is the placing of four-tail
bandage under the chin, causing the mouth
to be closed. both by day and night, for
several weeks. It must first, however, be
ascertained whether there are any impedi-
ments in the nostrils, and if so these should
be removed

Every One of Them Heroes.
For the coterie of old tars that meets al
most daily at the Metropolitan is composed
of the stuff of which heroes are made; in
deed, heroes thev are-every one of them.
The better part of their lives has been de-
voted to maintaining the honor of the Stars
and Stripes in home and foreign waters,
and in their time they have made history.
Once their names were on everybody's lips,
and the gallant deeds they performed were
rewarded with the honors Uncle Sam loves
TO heap upon his brayest sons. Now, out
worn with the tolls and exposures of a life
time of service, they rest on their laurels at

table together In the quiet snuggery of
their private dining room they can discuss
maritime and naval affairs to their hearts
content, and as the dinner progresses and
each veteran begins to feel the genial in
fiuence that comes from good wine, good
company and an excellent cuisine, many
stories of personal experiences that never
found their way into print are exchanged.

Diet of Business Men.

A food journal advises business men to
diet themselves so as to be able to do the
maximum of work between the lunch hour
and evening, and not to work for few
minutes after eating. Such foods as plain

crosses, lettuce, rice, rice pudding, sand.

The town season for hats lasts about six
months of the year, and during that time
the style of hats, especially of the high silk
hats, changes about four times. 1t is a Gus
tom which we have imported from England,
whence most of our fashions with regard to
masculine attire are derived. A London
clubman usually requires half dozen high
silk hats to get through the season; and 50

clerks whom have referred to do not ven-

in this respect. They fear that it might

their principals the idea that they were un-
duly extravagant or else that they were en-

Electricity From a Windmill.

Prof James Blyth, of Glasgow, is still
working at his new windmill for developing
electricity. 1t is based on the principle Of
the anemometer or wind measure, familiar
to many at the Greenwich and other obser-
vatories, and consists of vertical axle, free
to rotate, and carrying two cross-arms pro-
vided with open boxes in place OF the ane-
mometer cups. These boxes catch the wind
and cause the axle to revolve. This in turn
drives the dynamo, and the curHnt pro-
duced is stored in accumulators.

The Meaning of the Tilt.

Ifit is worn tilted on the right side of the
head it generally implies that the man is
rake and wishes to be considered as su ch;
if worn in tilt over the right eve that he
is sport; if a tilt over the nose that he
wishes to be taken for an innocent fool, but
it is very much the reverse. If the hat
is worn with tilt over the left side of the
head he may be taken for man who has
seen military or naval service, while when
the hat is worn in tilt over the left eve
he may be at once set down as fool with
depraved and unnatural tastes. q
THERE'S nationality, too, as mentioned
above in the make of hat and in the man
ner in which it is worn. There is some
thing sui generis and unmistakable in the
genuine Irishman's "Golgotha, we'll nigh

Harper's Weekly.l
Eighteen hundred and ninty-two-the
presept year of grace-is notable one in
many ways, and not the least interesting
and curious thing in connection with 1t is
tho predominance of the initial "C'' in the
principal events of the year.
According to the Roman fashion of num-
bering, this is the year CCCC. of the discov-
cry of America, and Christopher Columbus
is most prominent. There have been many
Columbian Celebrations, but the greatest
at Chicago, where the Worlds Fair was
formally opened on October 21st. In the
political world, Mr. Cleveland is leading
figure as the Democratic choice for Presi-
dent; and the great labor troubles of the
year have occurred at the Carnegie mills
The long revolution IN Venezuela has been
put down and the victor is General Crespo;
and last, but not least, the scourge that has
terrified the world-the cholera-has also
borne the faithful initial. This is great

herb. The Russian, the Swede, the Italian,
the Spaniard, the Portuguese, the Austrian
and the Hungarian likewise have each their
own particular distinctive headgear
Then, too, the hat generally denotes the
profession of the wearer. Even from afar
it is possible to recognize not only the call
ing but likewise the rank and principles
of dignitary of the church. No mere cur
ate, for instance, would ever dream of dom
ming the broad brimmed and tasseled high
hat affected by some of our Episcopal
bishops; and no one has ever beheld pre-
late "tiled" with an ordinary derby or Dot
hat. Indeed, every profession, even down
to the baker, the cook and the mechanic,
has its own particular and easily distin-
guishable etiquette in headgear.

At the hour of II on Tuesday
morning was witnessed most in
teresting scene at the house of
Chief Justice Judd. Two airy and
spacious rooms thrown into one
large hall contained no small share
OF the brain and nerve power be-
longing to the women of Honolulu.
The efficient executive of the
Womans' Board, assisted by the
officers and surrounded by her con-
stituents-a great company, called
for the numerous reports rendered
on such occasions, each good of it's
kind, and throwing light upon
the many judicious plans which
these good ladies devise for the up
building of all that is true and
good in humanity. Verify, their
works shall live and blossom with
out end.
When the Queen had taken her
seat among the guests the business
OF the morning was finished and
there was an adjournment to the
extensive lanai, where not a want
was left unsatisfed to those who
enjoy good things to eat.
Later, refreshed and genial, the
Convention gathered for the lighter
part of the programme. Mission
aries going-coming, and ''those
abiding by the staff" told the
story of their first headings towards
the life which looks out and not in
or, of experiences abroad while
recruiting strengthen, gave in
words of cheer, account of many
who, under our own eyes are ceas-

good.

ting to thank warmly both host
and helper, the meeting disbanded,
with the feeling that life was better
worth living for the income of
thought and inspiration which
this gathering had brought.
