wrecked Vessels and Drowned People Al
ways Sink to the Ground.
Tbere Ia n rather common but erro-
neous notion TO the effect that q human
body or even a ship Will not sink to the
bottom Of the protounder abysses OF
the ocean, but Will, on account OF the
density Of the waters at @ great DEPTH
remain suspended at some distance
above the surface Of the earth. Ihis'
according to Scribner, is an error: NO
other fate awaits the drowned sailor or
his ship than that which comes to the
marine creatures who die on the bot
tom Of the sear-in time their dust all
passes into the great storehouse OF the
earth, even as those who receive burial
on the land. However deep the sea, 1t
Is but few hours before the body OF a
man who finds his grave In the ocean Is
at rest upon the bottom; 1t there re-
ceives the same swift service from the
agents which, in the order OF nature,
are appointed to care for the dead. as
comes to those who are reverently IN
humed In blessed ground. All save the
hardest parts of the skeleton are quick
ly taken again into the realm OF the
living, and even those more resisting
portions of the body are, in large part
appropriated by the creatures OF the sea
floor, SO that before the dust returns in
the accommodating water to the frm-set
earth it may pass through an extended
cycle of living forms
The fate Of animal bodies on the sec
floor Is we'll illustrated by the fact thai
beneath the waters Of the gulf stream
where 1t passes southern Florida, there
are in some places quantities Of bones
apparently those of the manitee, or sea
COW, a large herbivorous mammal
which, like the seal, has become
adapted to aquatic life; these creatures
plentifully inhabit the tropical rivers
which flow into the Caribbean sea, ant
are, though rarely, found in the stream
of southern Florida. At their deatl
they drift out into the open water an
are swept away to the northward b
the ocean current. For some weeks
perhaps, the carcasses are buoyed up b,
the gases Of decomposition which ar
retained by their thick, oily skins; q
these decay and break the bodies fall t
the bottom.

Washington Letter.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-The presiden'
is deeply interested in the preparations
that are being made for the ENTERTAINMENT
of the veterans who will come to the "
A. r. encampment, and it is no secre.
that it was a hint from him which caused
the sudden revoking Of the order issued
BY Col. Ernest, superintendent OF puohc
grounds and buildings, refusing to allow
the committee the use of the White lou ior
holding reunions during the encampmen''
No better indication of the warm ieeiing
towards the old soldiers held by the
people of Washington could have peen
civen than the wave of indignation that
swept over the community when the ord
ar refusing the use of the White lot was
made public. On all sides were heard
such remarks as "every foot Of ground in
Washington belongs TO these men, bought
by their blood on many hard-iought
battle fields, and this absurd order must
be revoked" The order was quickly re-
voked, and preparations are merrily 60
ing ahead to make the coming encamp-
ment the grandest affair in the history OF
the G. A. r.

CONGRESS adjourned on Friday night at
II 20, after long and tedious session. II
was supposed that the Democrats would
make move to repeal or modify the tariff
laws, but with their large majority in the
lower house not move was made. Dur
ing the entire session there was not an av-
erage Of two-thirds Of the members in the
lower house present. This is an indica-
ton that we have just one-half too many
representatives. Ohio has twenty-one
members, and ten would answer all prac.
tical purposes. The work done was all
that could be expected. The last appro

Steel Pavements.

A new pavement is being brought
out. It's foundation is steel plates
laid in sand. These plates are three
feet by quarter OF All inch thick, and
strong enough to stand q tensile
strain Of 5O,OOOlb. to the inch. They
are Hanged on the sides and laid from
curb to curb across the street. The
f1anges are pinned together, and the
plates perforated for drainage.
Repairs and openings can be replaced
without damage to the pavement,
and old and worn blocks can be ex-
changed for new. All swelling is
provided for, and it can be laid rapidly,
presenting, when complete, q smooth,
unbroken appearance. It will, it is
alleged, last sixteen years, when the
whole surface can then be recovered
without disturbing the foundation.
Sections OF this pavement will be laid
in Chicago and st. Lous, and it has
already been tested in other localities.

Every quarter OF an hour the station
begins to show signs of life. First Of
all the telegraph official begins to
work. He dispatches a telegram
stating that the line is clear. The
doors open, and on the platform
appear the station-master and his
assistant; the clerk is seen at the
window OF the ticket Office and the
pointsmen come out OF their boxes
and close the barriers. A long line of
people form at the ticket Office to buy
tickets; porters carry luggage; the bell
is rung, and then out OF the tunnel
comes a train, rushing into the station
and, after the engine has given a shrill
whistle, stops.
A workman goes from carriage to
carriage and tests the axles with q
hammer. Another pumps water in
to the boiler OF the engine. After
the third signal with the bell,
the engine whistles and the
train disappears into the oppo-
site tunnel; the station-master
and his assistants leave the platform
and the doors of the waiting-rooms
close behind them; the pointsmen re-
turn to their boxes and perfect still
ness prevails till, in a quarter OF an
hour, the whole is repeated.

An Electrical Oven,

Inventors are now turning their at
tention to devices for the utilization
of electric heating, especially for do
mestic purposes. OF these the latest
is an oven heated by electricity on a
new principle. 1t consists OF an outer
and an inner case, so as to give an air
space to prevent loss by radiation.
Electric heaters are placed at the top
and the bottom of the oven, and thus
an even temperature is, secured. The
heaters may be put in series or par
allel, so that the temperature can be
varied at will. The heating surface be-
ing entirely contained in the oven,
there is very little loss from surface
radiation.
The English public are very much
alive to the advantages of electric
heating for domestic purposes, and
it is said that at the recent Electrical
Exhibition at the Crystal Palace, the
best frequented and most popular ex-
hibit was that of the apparatus for
the house use Of electricity in cooking
and heating, and the people watched
the cooking of pancakes, the boiling
OF coffee and eggs, and the baking OF
bread with the greatest interest, and,
judging from the avidity with which
they consumed the viands gratuitous-
ly provided, seemed to fancy that
there was some special virtue in the
process OF electric cooking.

Iron-Rust VIII Cause Fire.

When oxide of iron is placed in con-
tact with timber excluded from the
atmosphere, and aided by a slightly
increased temperature, the oxide will
part with it's oxygen, and is con-
verified into very finely divided par
ticle OF metallic iron having such an
affinity for oxygen that, when after
wards exposed to the action of the at
mosphere from any cause, oxygen is
SO rapidly absorbed that these par
ticles become suddenly red-hot, and If
in sufficient quantity will produce a
temperature far beyond the ignition
point OF dry timber. Whenever, for
instance, iron pipes employed for I he
circulation OF any heated medium
whether hot water, hot air or steam
are allowed to become rusty in close
contact with timber, the mere expan-
sion or contraction OF the pipes may
be sufficient to raise the temperature
to sufficient height to bring about
fire.

sBebe Ribbon as a Trimming.

Bebe ribbon is much-used ribbon
variety Of the many widths OF ribbon
SO greatly and SO variously employed
for trimming dresses, bonnets, para
soils, ETC., to say nothing OF the deco
ration of fancy work, where ribbon of
this sort figures conspicuously. Bebe
ribbon trims admirably evening
gowns OF soft silk and combines we'll
with lace, enhancing the light effect
of that particular decoration. Sheer
woods are suitably trimmed with mar
row silk or velvet ribbon, whichis put
on in straight rows or made up in a
series OF loops more or less long, or in
tufts or pompons, and when these are
placed in iuxtaposition on gown, to
hold lace in place, they are frequently
connected by two or three strands Of
the same ribbon.

Manufac curing Ozone.

The use of ozone islikely to be large
ly resorted to in the disinfection and
sterilization OF water, and it's eco
nomical production is becoming a
matter of Importance. From recent
experiments in the Siemens & Halske
laboratory at Berlin, it appears that
good results have been obtained in
producing ozone on a commercial
scale by means of the silent electrical
discharge.
An apparatus now at work in the
laboratory yields "a mg of ozone per
second. Experiments are being made
in supplying compressed ozone for
technical use, and accomplished with
a pressure OF atmospheres. AS a re-
medal and curative measure in medi-
cal practice ozone is daily growing in
favor. ~

Queer Clock.

A curious clock, destined for. the
Worlds Fair at Chicago, has been
made by a clockmaker at Warsaw,
named Goldfaden who has worked at
it six years.
The clock represents railway sta
ton, with waiting-rooms for the trav-
ellcr, telegraph and ticket offices, a
very pretty, well-lighetd platform and
flower garden, in the centre of which
is a sparkling fountain o. clear water.
Past the railway station run the Ines.
There are also signal.boxes, lights
and reservoirs-in fact everything
that belongs to a railway station, to
the smallest detail.
In the eupola of the central tower
is a clock which shows the time OF the

film the tension is so great that the
entire bubble is destroyed, and the
film OF soap and water is converted
into fine spray. The experiments
about to be described can be best IN
derstood by considering jet OF water
as somewhat resembling an elongated
but solid soap bubble, with the in
terror compressed by the tension OF
the surface film, and with tendency
to break up into separate drops from
the unequal force of this surface ten
sion.
HOW THE JET WORKS.
In Fig. L. is represented jet OF
water thrown three feet into the
air from rubber tube with a glass
tip, the opening of which has a diam
eter Of about a sixteenth OF an inch. At
a little distance from the orifice of the
tube the jet will break up into drops
of various sizes, which scatter them
selves irregularly in the air. If we now
bring q stick ofelectrifed sealing wax
near to it, the jet gathers itself to-
gether and instead OF a scattered,
spray OF Irregular drops it is trans
formed into a procession of drops
nearly equal in size and distance from
one another, which fall with great
regularity. The electric excitement
appears to so affect the surf ace
tension OF the jet that it's action is
exerted more uniformly and regularly.
A practical useis made OF this action
OF electricity in the siphon recorders
which receive telegaphic messages sent
over ocean cables. The message is
recorded upon sheet OF paper by
means OF "a fine stream of ink dis
charged from a small tube, which is
moved in different directions by the
electric current. The ink in this tube
is electrified by separate ap-
paratus, so that it is thrown on the

woman's Athletic Progress.

They say the young woman who
gained the tennis championship OF the
United States put up game that
outclassed that of a good many male
players who rank high among the
amateurs. This is only another illus
stration OF the rapid advancement
OF the sex says Life. When we stop
to think that it is only about twenty
five years since woman begun to be
emancipated, industrially and other
wise, it will be seen that she has not
really had much Of a chance to show
what she can do. Evolution has not
even begun to get IN it's work yet, and
the sex has had nothing like fair
opportunity to throw off the enerva-
ting handicap of centuries of coddling
and belittlement. Life stands ready
to wager large, handsome doughnut
that another half century will enable
woman to escape the favoritereproach
OF nisogynists to the effect that no
woman has ever yet been really great
in art, literature, science or affairs.
This gentry never stops to think that
the woman of the past was what man
made her. The woman OF the future
proposes to take that contract into
her own hands, and she has already
made a fair start at it.
