The Dominating schnol-Glrl.

In our Anglo-Saxon social system
the young girl is everywhere. and if
the shade of Sterne will allow me to
say SO. we temper the wind of our
realism to the sensitive innocence of
the ubiquitous lamb We like to be-
licvo that our women are better than
those of foreign nations. We owe it
to them to put more faith in them be-
cause thcv arc our own, our dear moth
ers and wives and sisters and daugh.
tiers. for whom, if we be men, we mean
to do all that men can do. But we are
all men and women nevertheless, and
human, and we have the thoughts
and understanding of men and women
and not of schoolgirls. Yet the
school girl practically decides what we
are to hear at the theater, and, so far
as our own language is concerned, de-
termines to a great extent what we
arc to read.

Each wing is provided with joint

wolves the elbow strikes q stationary
plane, twisting or tipping the wing.
This plane is adjustable and is con-

the wings on their backward move

with the direction desired, the plane is
SO adjusted that the wing tips and
catches the air horizontally, like ar
oar in the water. 10 turn right or left

Importance Of the bath.

The relation of cleanliness to godli-
ness has ceased to be of Importance.
The bath has grown to be considered,
on the contrary, a close adjunct to
woman's beauty. The fair sex has
learned TO study The bath and the eff
fccts upon their feelings, and inciden-
tally the action of tepid or hot water
on their fair skins and its efficacy in
softenipg and identifying their COM
plexions.
No longer can it be said that with
the majority of American women n
bath means simply wiping the face
with a corner of q wet towel, even If
the statement was ever true.
The women of foreign countries in
the past undoubtedly had a greater
appreciation of the near relation of the
bath to personal beauty than the
women of the United States That
great change in this direction has been
wrought is shown by the greater intel
igence shown by American women to-
day in the matter of bathing, and their
|growipg prediction for what is known

an inverted arch, concentric with the
boiler, and forming segmental space
constituting combustion and radi-
alton chamber just beneath the boiler
and extending back to the rear wall.
In the rear of tho bridge wall,
ut its base, is an air chamber extending
to the rear brickwork and from one
side wall to the other, the top of the
chamber being archcd, and this cham
Der is connected by numerous OPEN
ings or ports with the combustion
chamber above, formed by the in
verified arch Immediately under the
boiler. Longitudinal ports from the
front end of the air chamber lead to a
transverse channel in the bridge wall,
the latter channel connecting with
channels in the side walls of the brick
work which open at their front ends
to the air. Suitable doors in the rear
of the brickwork give ready access to
the air chamber and the combustion
chamber to facilitate cleaning when
desired. The large body of brickworlS
forming the arched top of the air cham
Der and the inverted arch radiating
surface beneath the boiler has consid-
cradle storage capacity for heat, and
in it's construction allowance is made
for contraction and expansion. The
additional supply Of air through the
ports leading upward from the air
chamber is designed to effect perfect
combustion of all smoke and gases.

The Little Things.

After all it Is not the gowns, the
wraps and the bonnets that are the
largest items of expense Us well as
beauty in the fashionable woman's
wardrobe, but the hosts of little
necessary for the completion of her
toilet. A girl buys a ball gown, and
after its second wearing she feels 1t in
cnmbent upon her 20 change it in some
way. So she HES herself to some shop
where fancy filings in chiffon and lace
are to be found, and invests $40 or Sl2
in decidedly picturesque drapery
with decollette neck.
By the way chiffon seems to be com
ing more prominently to the fore since
the modistes have taken to doubling
it, which prevents the fimsiness which
was so much against it when it first
came out
The hair serves as an excuse for the
buying of all sorts of pretty things for
its adornment among which coronets,
either in plain silver or gold or set
with precious stones, are the most
regal and expensive, Small gold pins
daggers and tortoise-shell bandeauN
are much in favor.
The 5-cent package of hair pins
which served our mothers in the
arranging of their hair coiffnres is now
discarded in favor of tortoise-shell sets
that are fragile as they are expensive.
The fashion that says slippers and
stockings must match the evening
gowns means an expenditure undreamt
of by the woman who considered
black satin slippers and silk stockings
the height of elegance to be worn with
any costume. The slippers of to-day
are daintier than they have been in
years. Suede, which was for a time
80 popular, has now given place to
SATIN in delicate tints, ornamented
either with ribbon rosettes or fine en-
rroidery of tiny beads.

A New Grain.

Four years ago Joseph Mativin, who
has farm near Stanwood, WASH, dis
covered peculiar head of grain in n
field of barley. Since then he has been
propagating it, until now he has con-
siderable land sown to this strange
grain, which yields about 100 bushels
to the acre. The grain is of deep
brown color, resembling scorched
wheat grain, and is similar to wheat
in form. The bran or shell is thin and
tough. The grain is not fit for milling
purposes, and brewer who examined
1t said that it was useless for brewing
purposes 1t makes, however. excel.
lent feed for chickens and hogs.

an arrangement would cffectually pre-

bottom of vessels. In order to keep
the mercury on and to prevent oxida-

OverestImated Temperature.

Recent Investigations made by means
of the pyrometer show that the tenn
peratures which occur in melting steel,
and in other industrial operations,
have been overestimated. II is now
demonstrated that both the amount Of

quantity of fuel required to heat it, in

quently adopted for determining high
temperatures, the assumption being
made in this case that the specific heat
of the iron rods or balls used is con-
slant, which assumption, however, is
inaccurate. In the case of the flame
of the Bessemer converter, the tenn
perature of the issuing flame has been
recorded as 1000 degrees, Cent, be-
cause platinum appears to melt rapidly
in 1t. This, again, fails to coincide
with the outcome of recent expert
ments, the fact being, as now repre-
scented, that platinum does not really
fuse In the flame, but only appears to
do SO, on count of its alloying itself
with drops of molten steel carried over
by the blast.

Som. RELOCATED Theories.

A notable instance of the modern
RELOCATION to the past Of soma long
esta blished scientific theories Is fur
nished in a paper read by the artist
Prang, before one of the Boston insti-
tutions of art, on the science of colors.
Thus, in regard to the commonly ac-
copied rule that blue and yellow lights
produce not green but white, it is
shown by the Maxwell rotary disk
that this assumption, though true of
experiments with certain particular
blue and yellow, does not apply to a
combination of the ideal blue and the
ideal yellow. Employing for an
ideal blue blue free from
both red and yellow, and for
his ideal yellow one that was
free from both blue and red, Mr..
Prang claims to demonstrate that the
usual mistake has arisen from too
loose a use Oh the terms blue and yell
low; these, as is well known, being
names that are indiscriminately borne
by great variety of impure hues. BY
the use of the same wheel it is also
demonstrated that the typical red,
yellow and blue do, in combination,
produce white of low luminosity--the
supposed impossibility of this result
heretofore being due, it is asserted, to
the use of impure colors. This claim
that yellow and blue are not primar-
les, because yellow can be obtained by
the mixture of red and green, and blue
by the mixture of green and violet, is
likewise established, though the
scientifically accepted inference from
these facts is declared to be wrong.

Metallic Alloy.

Some valuable specimens of metallic

COMPRISING a mixture OF seven parts
of copper and three parts of zinc, was

metal was little softer in texture
than common brass, the other was
harder and brittle. Both specimens
had been fled up twice, and again
consolidated by pressure, though the
union was not complete. and both the
alloys contained great quantities of
yellow mixture, with PARTICLES of cop
