With the third part of "Omega,' the
work of the French astronomer Fam-
marion, which appears in The CoSmo-
politian for July, the reader is able to
grasp something of the great purpose of
the author. "Omega" is declared by
those who have read the entire work to
be one of the most remarkable writings
of the century. While pretending to
be novel, it is work having deeply
philosophical purpose, as is more fully
developed in later chapters. 1t is
something that no fairly intelligent
person can afford not to read, and is
surely destined to become classic.
In recent number of The Cosmo.
politan a story was published, entitled
"The House of the Dragons" which
received wide criticism because of the
Importance of the life problems involv-
ed. A daughter of Bishop Potter, who
was for some time connected with
important mission work among the
working girls of New York, has under
taken to reply, and discuss another side
of the question in the July number.

Origin of the NIustache.

The mustache is becoming very fash.
ionable in France, Parisians have been
hunting for the origin of the custom of
wearing this adornment and the legend
of most popular acceptance Just noM
ascribes it to Spain. At q period after
the Moorish invasion, when the Chris
tian and Moslem population became SO
mixed that it was hard to say which
We're Moors and which Spaniards, the
pious Spaniards hit upon the n9stache
as means of Identification. They per-
mitte6 the hair ON the upper lip to grow
and also Il tuft on the under lip, an out
line of the cross being thus formed.
Thus, say the Parisians, the mpstache
became symbol OF liberty, equality
and fraternity.

WILD CATTLE AND DOGS.
Domestic Animals That Have Gone wild
on the Sandwich Islands.

Domestic Animals That Have Gone Wild
on the Sandwich Islands.
Humphrey B. Kendrick, the Cali
fornia collector Of archaeological and
other curiosities, who has for many
tant island of Hawaii, in the Sandwich
group, and is now in this city, says that
one thing in the Sandwich islands at
tracted his attention and made a lasting
impression upon him. That was the
great number of animals gone wild,
says the San Francisco Examiner.
These were taken there soon after
Navigator Cooks discovery. Some
wandered away, and now there are Inn
mense bands, They comprise wild
cattle, wild dogs, and wild hogs. He Is
not certain but the latter have always
been there, but if so, these and curl
Gus little wild goose are the only indi-
'genous creatures.
''The wild dogs hunt in packs" he
said, ::and are exceedingly ferocious.
When domestic dogs go wild, they be-
come in time a great deal like wolves.
These inhabit the higher mountains,
and are so vicious that they will some4
times attack men if they are on foot, If
they are on horseback they don't usual
ly do it, The dogs are of various colors,
and they are pretty good sized.
Large numbers of wild cattle are
also found in the Pine mountains, that is
up as high in the mountains as the
pines grow. They Craze up as high as
the snow line. l have some friends
near Kona engaged in the stock busi-
ness, and they shoot down O good
many of the wild cattle and use the
meat for their men, There are vast
hands Of them. They are very fleet,
but they are in good condition most of
the time.
"The hogs that SO long ago went
wild have grown small and run to
snoEt and tusks. They are very saw
age. In many respects they resemble
the peccaries. Away oyer south one Of
the small islands are large bands Of
wild horsesn

Spain's Mercury Mines.

In the mercury mines of Almaden,
Spain, the quality of the mercury i'm,
proves and the quantity increases the
farther the distance traversed. In the
deepest gallery the mercury seems to
run from the rocks as resin from the
trees, On being taken from the pits
the ore is smelted in vast furnaces.
Distillation is effected through long
and complete series of tubes, formed of
thick jars, with a long narrow neck,
fitting into, each other. In the lower
portion of these jars there exists kind,
of small reservoir, where the drops Of
mercury produced by the evaporation
of the metal in 2 state of fusion are
condensed, These drops are then coll
lected, and, with the aid of small pipes,
stored in large iron barrels. A strong
and penetrating odor, which irritatea
the eyes and postrtls, escapes from the
jars and barrels.

COLD STORAGE FOR SILKS.



peratures.
Raw silk is sold by weight, and when
stored in ordinary warehouses it dries
and naturally decreases in value. BY
storing it in cold vault the moisture is
preserved and the silk keeps it's weight
There is another curious fact about the
cold storage of silk, 1t was discovered
some years ago that silk in winter usu-
ally had finer luSter than in summer.
The cold air was supposed to be ac
countable for the change, and an ex-
pertinent was tried in keeping bales of
silk in cold rooms for comparison with
others on the store counters, The cold
silk then appeared to be of a much
finer quality, when in reality it was
from the same loom. As soon as this
fact became generally recognized the
large silk dealers went to the cold
storage warehouses and had their silks
placed in freezing vaults. In some
cases the thermometer is kept as low as
ten degrees, and when the bales are
taken out they feel like blocks of ice.
storage, and only take silk ont in guam
titles equal to the anticipated sales of
the day, for the luster acquired by
freezing soon disappears after exposure
on the bargain counter. It is asserted
that an inferior grade of silk while ex-
tremely cold has the feeling and ap=
pearance of much higher grade which
has not been frozen, while, on the other
hand, it has been found that the best
grades are not improved by the arctic
treatment

THE COAL SUPPLY.


There Is No Immediate Danger of its
Running Out.
The enormous consumption of coal
and its ultimate result, the exhaustion
of the supply, have frequently been re-
ferred to by way of warning and admo-
milton. There is, of course, limit to
the amount of coal that man can obtain
from the crust of the earth. The con-
ditions under which the carboniferous
deposits were made, and the localities
where they can be found and worked,
are known, and it is not unlikely that
within a few centuries mankind will
have to look elsewhere for the mechan-
ical energy which is now derived from
the burning of coal.
But the situation is not quite so des-
perate, says Youths Companion, as it
has sometimes been represented. Petro-
leum, for instance, is beginning to be
used in the place of coal Many per-
sons connect petroleum with coal in
their minds, supposing that the two are
always found in the same localities, and
are necessarily related to one another
in their origin. But this is not SO. Pc
troleum is far more widely distributed
than coal,
Coal is found principally In one kind
of strata, namely, the so-called carbon
ferrous formation, but petroleum or
rock oil exists in many different strata,
and the famous Russian chemist, DIR.
Mendelieff, believes that it is constant
ly being formed in the interior of the
earth by the action of the water which
slowly leaks downward upon metals
contained in the heated core of the
globe,
In this respect, then, petroleum diff
fers greatly from coal, because the lat
ter is not now being formed-at least
not in any considerable quantity-while
petroleum, if the theory just stated is
correct, is constant product of the in
ner activity of the planet.
But it is not likely that we shall be
compelled to resort solely to petroleum
when our coal supplies have been ex-
hausted, for science is continually open
ing up for us new sources of energy in
nature. Electricity holds forth some as
yet indefinite promises, which scientific
men think may revolutionize the me-
| chanical world.
1t is not likely, then, that future gen.
erations will either freeze to death or
abandon the machinery of civilized life
| when the last ton of coal has been lifted
out of the rocks.

DOCUMENTARY FLOWERS.


interesting FacCS Concerning the Cyca-
daceous Plants.
These plants possess special inter-
est, inasmuch as they present us with
what is one of the earliest and most
rudimentary kind of flower Like all
the lower kinds of Towering plants
they bear two sorts, the so-called male
and female flowers. Now when one OF
these flowers are examined, says Long
mans Magazine, one might well feel
surprised, if unprepared for what pre-
sents itself Both kinds are, as might
be expected, of the simplest form, the
male flower consisting merely of sta
mems bearing pollen sacs.
When one of these stamens is in
spected it is SO en- to be but an ordinary
leaf modified; nay, more, the pollen
sacs (born on the back surface like the
''fern seed" on the fern leaf are obvi-
ously but the little spore cases of the
cryptogams; yet, further, we open one of
them, and the pollen grains themselves
proves to be but the little spores
of the lower plants. The whole flower
is, in fact, nothing but the modified
spore-bearing leaf of the higher cryptic
grams. The female flowers on close
examination prove similarly to be but
spore.hearing leaves also modified,
though In different direction. What,
then, has happened2 Very little, in
point of fact, though much in point Of
significance. The spore which pro.
duced the little plant requiring fer
tilization (Which latter we observed
growing smaller and smaller) simply
now no longer falls off, but remains at,
tached to the parent leaf and awaits
the pollen that is carried to it by the
winds all that previously took place in
the marsh below now takes place in
stu in the production of the seed. That
is the whole plan in brief.
The great end which nature accom-.
plished when she evolved the first
flowers was simply to enable cross-fer
tilization to take place without the aid
of water. This was the feat which
revolutionized the vegetable world.
The Towering plants were at last and
heneeforth independent of aquatic con-
ditions; they took full possession of the
land, and the other forms, dependent
on water for fertilization, began slowly
but surely to give way before them.

Customs.
The ladies attire themselves in the
holollu. The warm tropical climate
makes loose, flowing gowns necessity.
The young girls wear wreaths of wild
flowers around their brows and decos
rate their bodies with chaplets of green
leaves. They do not use gold jewelry,
but ornament their toilet with the
floral beauty of the tropics. They are
the time in the groves. They sleep in
hammocks under the trees, and have
their dances and feasts in the grottoes
of the forests. They have little huts in
which they dwell during storms, but
are rarely found in their cottages ex-
cept in rainy weather. They build
grass thatched houses and cover their
roofs with rushes, and have wide
porches in front of them doors to keep
off the heat Of the sun. They like to be
near the sea, so they can bathe in the
waters of the ocean. They become ex-
pert surf riders, and can scale the
breakers in the widest storms. Like
seagu1ls they ride the tossing rellers
and smile at the oceans maddest winds.
In their little boats they sail over the
blue bosom of the Pacific and cruise
many miles away from their island
shores. Their little crafts cross the
channels from island ia island and visit
all the ports in the archipelago. They
are not afraid of the ocean solitudes,
but are at home on it's watery wastes
and find delight in it's expanse of blue,

Theirs is a lake in the state of Mary
land, near Chestertown, that is known
as Still pond, because it has never been

weather there was not a skim of ice on
its surface, and it is not known ever to
have been frozen. ..-L---

HOW TO IRON DRESS SKIRTS.

HOW TO IRON DRESS SKIRTS.
To iron skirt properly is in the
nature of high art-all the more if 1t
has tucks or ruffles. Whatever the
trimming attend to it first, unless it is
ruffies that are to go through the flutting
machine.
For ruf1e spread as much of it
singly on your table as its depth allows
and press very smooth with an iron
just below scorching heat. Go over the
whole length of it, then fling it back
and iron in the same piecemeal fashion
the strip of skirt it covers. Now slip
the skirt over your ironing board,
spread it smooth, take an iron of the
same heat and go over and over it until
it is dry.
When you come to the gathers hold
the belt from you with the left hand,
while the right guides the iron straight
up among them. Slip fresh space on
top the board, iron it and keep on until
allis smooth.
Where skirt is untrmmed iron it
on the wrong side.
Never iron anything out of shape
that is. with the threads pulled out of
their proper angle. In the ironing of
waists, collars and so on, this is an es-
pecially golden rule; always hold the
warp threads straight with your free
hand while the iron passes over them.
In ironing tucks let the iron come
always first upon the line of sewing, as
it is the tendency of stitches to draw.
Press firmly downward to the free edge,
holding the stuff taut before the iron.
Perfection in this branch comes only of
knack and practice, and is among the
very few things that are easier done
| than said.

DRYING PRINTS.

The quicker oolored cotton of any
sort dries without sunshine touching it
the fresher and newer looking it will
come from the wash. So it is very
we'll worth while to give it all the
spread possible upon the line. In the
case of very delicate fabrics stretch a
skirt over backs of the two wooden
chairs or distend it with a convenient
frame of lath.
The starching is nearly as important
as washing. Let the prints dry before
doing it. Use starch properly colored
for soored grounds, unless there is
white in the design to be muddied by
it. See that the starch is we'll cooked,
free Of Jumps, not scorched and not too
thick.
Turn your garments wrong side out,
dip them in, kneading them we'll into
the starch, but not letting it flow in the
right side. Turn and hang out, we'll
spread, in the airiest shade you can
find until bone dry.
That is for thick stuffs, ginghams,
cambries, calicoes and so on.
Muslins, lawns and airy batistes re-
quire different usage. The best starch
for them is clean gum water-either
gum arabic or gum tragacanth. Take
care that every fiber is we'll wet with
it, but squeeze, not wiring, out all the
surplus and hang to dry.
AS soon as the garments feel little
rough on the surface-when they are
neither damp nor dry-take down, fold
and roll, Untold breadth at time
and pat and pull it between your hands
until it is almost dry. When you have
gone over the whole garment. sprinkle
it lightly aud roll tight. Leave it for
at least ar hour, covering so tightly
taat the outside cannot dry. Sprinkle
and roll in the same way the thicker
garments-which, however, will need
great deal more water than the muslins'
But do not make them too wet; above
all, do not have wet splotches on a
semi.dry ground. ANY fabric that will
hiss under the iron is too wet for good
results.
