THE UNFETTERED FEMALE.

The ludicrous jangle that the female
branch of the Worlds Fair commission
has gotten into. is one of the most pot
ent illustrations that could be found. of
the inexpediency Of female suffrage.
Here are an aggregation of women. sun
posed to repress ut the highest and
broadest STANDARD of female development

ounGy who or some petty question of
social distinct on to some and copse-
quent obscuration to others, split wide
open and declare war to the knife one
day. and on the next. meet and minele
their historical tears in common food
OF repentance and PREPARATION. from
which is evolved the idea of a female
league. which shall embrace the whole
nation. and whose purpose shall be for
h betterment of the sex. Then when
ever a third class duchess comes over
to this country and is absorbed by some
one or more of the leaders of the lea
que. the rest will go off and resoIute the
whole pesky thing out of existence on
one day and perhaps re~corgnize on a
more emotional basis on the next. The
exhibition Of truly feminine traits that
the most prominent ladies' of the land
nave recently made at Chicago. should
settle the question of female suffrage in
every intelligent mind. whether the
same be of male or female. The dear
things have their places and uses. but
they are not among or of the material
affairs of the country.

Electricity In Photography,

One of the greatest difficulties that the
photographer has to contend with is the
preservation of the natural expression of
the sitter for the period of exposure.
Notwithstanding that this period has
been greatly shortened in various ways.
particularly by the adoption of the mag
nesium light in Photographic practice,
nervousness plays such q large part in
the temperament Of the great majority
OF those who are anxious to hand down
their presentments to posterity that the
operator has often found the interval
even too prolonged for the accomplish
ment Of his perfect work.
This difficulty has been overcome by
Herr Haag in Stuttgart by means of a
change i'll the management of the mag
nesium light. Herr Haag has made some
lightning cartridges. which cause a ire
mendous development of light and are
set alight in one-tenth of a second by
means of electricity.-New York Tele-

As a matter OF fact this earth of onrs
has long passed its youth. It is how
verging Oh old age. and with its poles
covered by everlasting ice it may be
likened to IL body whose e~xtren.ities are
bleached and paralyzed with years. Even
in the geological period which imme-
diately preceded our own. and which is
known as the postpliocene, or quater-
nary. great changes took place, and man
has been "a witness to them. The rivers
OF today are mere brooks compared TO
what they We're then, and in North
America We can trace the shore lines of
immense quaternary lakes which no
longer exist.
But while this fact may interest and
perhaps surprise us a little it does not
tax our credulity SO much as when we
are told that once instead of snow and
ice a %luxuriant vegetation hourished not
far from the poles. Indeed the French
naturalist Button believed that on our
planet, which was slowly cooled and
consolidated. life began at the poles, and
that from thence it spread in the direc-
ton OF the tropics, where at first the heat
too intense to admit of n kind of
life. But it is only within recent years
that we have been able to get a glimpse
OF the ancient arctic zone, which is much
more accessible than the antarctic, and
what has thus far been brought to light
makes Buttons daring conjecture an
pear not so very ilnprobable.-Catholi

New Process Of EiectroplAting.

A discovery which promises to be II
great Importance in the arts has receL,t-
ly been made in connection with the
electro-deposition OF copper and other
metals. Heretofore these processes
have been carried on by immersing the
metal intended to receive the deposits
in an aqueous solution OF a salt OF the
metal to be deposited. The new prcc-
ess makes use Of insoluble salts Of the
various metals, which are reduced TO
fine powder and mechanically mixed
with water. The mixture is applied 20
the surface of She metal by means OF a
brush. to tho handle OF which is at
tached the electric conducting wire, SO
that the process VI deposition resembles
/ that Of applying a coat OF paint. Not
only pure metals. but all sorts OF alloys
are applied as coatings to other metals
with the utmost facility by this process.
The hull of an iron ship, for example,
may be painted over with q tough, ad-
herent and impervious coating Of metal
lie opper OF any desired thickness. Ex-
periments have been made which indi-
cate that his process may be success
fully applied to the plating Of aluminium
with silver or gold. a desideratum which
has long been sought for, but hitherto
apparently in vain.-Engineering Maya

Sugar from Corn Cob..

We have all heard, said a Western
man the other day, Of how corn is u ed
under certain conditions for fuel, and |
believe that the time ia coming when
people will be able to live almost ex-
clusively on corn and orn products.
The latest triumph in this direction
hat has come to my notice is nothing
less than the manufacture OF imitation
maple sugar and syrup from corn cobs.
Where ON is raised in large ouanti-
ties. the cobs are looked upon as a
nuisance, and l imagine they could be
bought by the carload at a very small!
price. II, however, this latest develop
ment becomes a success, the figure is
likely to rise rapidly. 1t has been
found that after tho cobs have been
boiled long enough. a liquid is obtained
which. by adding a very small portion
OF sugar, becomes almost as palatable
as maple syrup, ana which can be evap-
GRATED into something which would pass
as average maple sugar. With corn
capable Of producing bread, starch, oil.
su9ar and a dozen other articles, the
idea OF its being sold under any condi-
tons as low as 20 cents a bushel seems
idiotic. 1t ought to be worth almost its
weight in gold.

The low price Of grain in the United
States Is the more marvellous when il
is taken into account that, while our
crop for 1893 does not promise to be
above the average, Great Britain. our
best customer, is threatened with .
shortage that borders on famine.
The Cork tIrelandl Constitution OF
June II says OF the English outlook
that the drought has been SO severe
that thousands of acres have not been
planted at all: in other places the seed
sown has not terminated: in others
the best that can BE- expected il q
half crop. Hay is in a worse
condition than grain. One Devon
shire farmer reports IA small rick
from seven large meadows, anGt ,r
half IL ton from five fields. Hay
is selling in London at $50 per ton One
farmer writes that he Is feeding his
cattle on turnip tops and nettles. AT
at 1 cents a pailful. This scarcity OF
grain and fodder is forcing farmers to
sell their cattle for what they will
fetch, 50 that, while all other articles
of food are unusually high, meat Is un-
usually cheap in England just now,
though, necessarily, it is not fat or
juicy. An equally had condition is re.
ported by the Cork Constitution as ex.
listing IN the continent of Europe.
With these facts in view, the ques.
ton recurs: How is it that American
wheat recently touched the lowest
point that 1t has reached in thirty
years2
