many jars of preserved figs. One was opened and they were found to be fresh and good. Investigation showed that the figs had been put Into jars in heated state, an aperture left for the steam to es- cape, and then sealed with wax. The hint was taken and the next year fruit canning was introduced into the United States, the process being identical with that in vogue at Pompeii twenty centuries ago.
 There has been much dispute about the matter was recently investigated at the Watertown arsenal, and the cut nails were shown to have holding power about 7S per cent. greater than the other class. As the production of steel wire nails now ex- ceeds the output of cut nails, and ss the manufacturers of the latter claimed for them greater holding power, a challenge was issued and accepted, and the arsenal test was to decide the dispute. In 56 series of tests the cut nails came out ahead In each, and In most cases very much ahead. In all l, ,160 nails, ranging from It to inches In length, were driven into spruce and pine timber, and the force required to pull them out vas measured on an Emery testing machine. With floor nails from two to four inches long, driven in spruce, the resistance of the cut nails was 60 per cent. higher than that of the wire nails; with finish nails, in spruce, the cut nail ohaal and uhnn drfyen into pine, with the taper perpendicular to the grain of the wood, the excess resistance in favor of the cut nail was 135 per cent. Even with taper parallel to the grain of the wood the cut nail afforded resistance twice that of the wire nail.
 The arrangements for San Francisco's midwinter fair are proceeding quite satis- factorily. The city's Park commission has granted tract of more than sixty acres in Golden Gate park es 0 site for the expo sition, besides a strip extending from the northern to the southern boundary of the city's great pleasure ground, which would be used as the midway plaissnce of the fair. The architects submit their plans to day for the various buildings, and prompt action Is to be taken towards be- ginning work on the main structures. The manufacturers and liberal arts build ing Is to cover ground space of 450 by 200 feet; agricultural hall, 300 by 125, with an annex almost as large, and the mechanic arts building, 275 by 175. A score of other smaller buildings are also planned for. Near the entrance to the cx- position grounds, 1t is proposed that there be established s subterrsnean place into which will open pretty grottoes to show the process of gold and silver mining. At the end of the cavern provision is made for an aquarium to be we'll stocked with fish. Commissioners from almost every one of the ffty-seven counties in the State have been chosen to look sitter the interests of the fair in their localities. Most of them have already taken action, ss the plan of organization definitely states that their duties are to raise funds and to provide an exhibit for the county each represents.

 The latest use for aluminium Is for street car tickets, and the beautiful metal is well adapted for that purpose. A Michigan street railroad has just made It's first issue of these light and ornamental tokens, which are about the size of @ silver quar- ter-dollar.
 Professor J. E. Denton thinks express trains will never go very much faster than they do now. He bases this opinion on the fact that the resistance increases more rapidly than the speed, so that at last a limit must be reached. This seems to him to have been very nearly reached. But the professor may be mistaken. The mod ern wonder-workers do not hesitate to go against scientific reasoning when they want to.
 It is said that we are indebted to Pompeii for the great industry of canned fruits. Years ago, when the excavations were just beginning, party of Cincinnatians found, ! in what had been the pantry of the house,

Then she devoted her attention 10 mnsic, and s'n 3isd with snch excellent rssults under D-. Mackenzie and Sir George Mso- fsrTen that .he can lsy claim to being a thoroughly good musician. This entirely rebR;s the idea that accomplishments and deep reading never go together.

rant rates, though the cut is not so radI cal. The prices at restaurants just out side the grounds are lower than st those in the business district, and are shou. one half of what they are in the downtown district of New York. For instance, Q table d'hote dinner, comprising coup, fish, roast, potatoes snd one other vegetable, dessert and coffee or substitute beverage, costs twenty five ~ur thirty cents. The cooking, food and service are fairly good. Everything Is clean. There is little or no crowding.
 Just over the fence, inside the grounds, robbery Is still rampant, though not near ly so bad as it was in May and June. But person need taks only one meal inside the grounds, and be csn avoid that by car rying luncheon. It hss become really good form to do so. There Is 6 conspicu- ous prepondsrance of luncheon boxes un- der the arms of the better dressed people, while those whose appearance indicates that they ought to carry luncheon more often than otherwise pAtrcnlze the restAu- rants. It Is strictly possible for people to see the fair in comfort for two dollars per day. The fixed charges for lodging and entrance amounting to one dollar, leaves seventy cents for food and thirty cents for inctdentsls, Midway PlGisAnce, etc. These figures were furnished by a young New York clerk, who sAid be saw all he wanted to and was not conspicuous of prsct!ctng more than his usual economy. Many, on the other hand, still pay fifteen dollars . day a. the downtown hotels Aod leave ten dollsrs behind them every time they visit Jackson park. With & very sligh. increase of mental and physical effort this sum could be raised from twenty-five to two hundred and fifty dollArs per day The farr iE INkfrngFn at the rn-Fgeut Fsr-aH a<za-Is rare facilities for the tesbie minded to be wTenched apart from their furds.

 It is dangerous to prophecy that the movement now being made in favo. of large bonnets will bs completely success ful, and still more risky to predict thst, If large bonnets are to be more general, the small bonnet or cspote Is to be totally eclipsed. Most millIners are themselves uncertain and refuse to hazard an opinicn. Some there are who are internationally in favor of radical change in the size of this sort of headgear, but more who con- servatively prefer to wait until the change turns up.
