The citizen who from necessity OF
otherwise clings to his city haunts in
tho height Of summer is coming to
realize that great consolation has
dropped into his life in the shape Of the
electric fan. The most enterprising
BARRIERS are Fastening to increase the
comfort Of their customers by installing
these fans in their saloons, and they
find their business stimulated to an un-
prece5cnted extent. The proprietors OF
restaurants are also falling into line,
and the man about town is not slow to
show his preference for resort where
he can fulfill the wants of the inner man
In perfect comfort, though the ther-
mometer may be climbing to record
breaking heights.
Anew restaurant that not many weeks
ago was opened in part of Broadway
thickly studded with such establish
ments is already doing a phenomenal
business, while its neighbors are desert
ed. Its success is simply owing to the
fact that throughout its length gentle,
even motion Of the air is maintained by
electric fans. One has to look more than
once to discover the source of the CRATE
full breeze. The fans give an almost i'm
perceptible sound and are fitted to an
entirely new attachment. Instead of
the usual permanent fixture globe of
metal Is suspended by three chains from
the roof near one Of the walls, and in
side this globe is the motor that works
the fan. Three fans suffice to keep
the whole restaurant delightfully."- cool
When the sylall cost Of such an arrange
lnent is considered, it is surprising that
the electric fan should not be universally
adopted by those who cater to the hun
ger and thirst of the public.
One of the best down town restau-
rants In New York, which in ordinary
weather Is crowded throughout the year,
is comparatively deserted ON hot days
because Of its imperfect ventilation. A
party Of its steady frequenters who re-
Gently diverted their custom for the
nonce to cooler quarters were discussing
over the midday lunch the question of |
electric fans as an investment. They
calculated that II their favorite resort |
were fitted with these handy breeze COM
pellers, the expense of the installation |
would be covered by custom thus re-
tanned within one week. The latest APP
plication Of this godsend TO the city man
Is to bedrooms. BY its use the most
stuffy room is made endurable without
'ubjecting the sleeper to dangerous

1t is said that from the observatory on
Mt. Hamilton, Mt. Shasta, 220 miles
away, appears to the naked eye to be
about as far distant rs the mountains of
the moon when seen through tho big tele
scope.
But the French are already discussing
the construction of a telescope that shall
throw the Dick completely in the shade.

the Paris Exposition, in 1900, a rejecting
telescope of such power that it will be
capable of disclosing stars one fourth a.
large as the smallest now known. It's
magnifyinr power, it is expected, will be
ID, 900 tin.es, so that it will be possible
to perceive on tho moon objects no bigger
than 81 square feet.
The chief difficulty in tho construction
of this huge instrument will be tho man
ufacturc of the great concave mirror.
Tho largest one now in existence
weighs l, 200 pounds. while the proposed
mirror will weigh much more It is
probable that if any one can make such a
mirror it is the French, since the large
lenses ground by Alvan Clark's Sons of
Cambridge, Mass, the makers of the
Lick and many other great telescopes, are
cast in France.

E. D. E. N. Southworth, and was first

adverse to the display of private life in

ton. 1t was his wish that not even his
correspondence should get into print.
ONLY four homes OF British writers
have been preserved on account of the
associations connected with them.
They are the homes Of shakespeare,
Milton. Burns and Wordsworth, and It
is suggested that Somersby Rectory,
Tennyson's birthplace, should be added
to the number.
LORD TENNYsoN was morbd1y sensi-
tive to all criticism of his work. An
unkind word in the obscurest news
paper would literally cut him to the
heart, 1t is said. At the same time he
was curious to hear everything said or
written about him, and he had great
relish for fattery.
How vARIousLY Tennyson was re-
garded is shown in the applications
given to him. These included: THE

1.-The Poet of Idealism," Tho Poet Of
Languor," "The Poet Of Love" The
