Some people deplore the use OF foam
ing preparations in soda water. Ginning
that such additions are totally unuaiLcd
for and unw2lTanteG. bat it lnust never
theless be conceded that soda foam can
bring forward several valid arguments
In its own favor. In the first place. il
aids greatly in keeping the gas from es-
Gaping TOO rapidly from the tulnbler. In
the second place, it undoubtedly adds
greatly to the dispensers profits. for it is
claimed that by adding two ounces of
foaming preparation to a gallon of sirup
the confectioner can draw 80 more glasses
than without the>foam.
Thirdly, we must remember that the
appearance of any article of food or
drink plays fully as important part as
its taste in increasing the appetite and
stimulating the gastric secretions, and
when we bear all these facts in mind we
shall be inclined to look upon the snowy
foam with more leniency. And, indeed,
however we may look at it, there is no
denying the fact that it has come to stay.
and TO stay probably for considerable
period of time, so we must make the best
we can of the matter-Thomas War

Long distance telephoning has become

clearuess and sharpness with which they

it has also developed the fact that the
French language is better adapted to the
purposes OF the telephone than the Eng
hsh. The ordinary business of the long
distance telephone between Paris and
London is carried on in the French Ian
guage. 1t is stated that the considerable
proportion of sibilant or Kissing syllabIes
in English renders it a less easy and ac-
curate means of communication.
Certain English words are especially
difficult OF Transmission by telephone.
The word soldier IS cited as one of
these. Proper names frequently occur
in the midst of an otherwise perfectly
audible and intelligent conversa1io
which the ear cannot possibly catch.

Wedding Cakes. New Stvle.

Who was the inventor of the new we'd
ding cakes? Whoever he was he de-
serves immortalizing, for his was a bril-
liant idea, one l should have been real
proud of myself had thought of it. In
the wedding cake of more ancient type
there was always thick layer of white
sugar which nobody cared about, a
medium layer of almond paste which
everybod ywished for and did not ALWAYS
get, and an immense quantity of cake
OF which many only ate few crumbs.
The latest specimen has a thin layer
OF sugar, only just enough to look pretty.
and underneath are alternate layers of
cake and almond paste, one as thick as
the other.
The consequence is that no one is de-
frauded of their lawful share of almond
paste or ''love," as it is usually called,
and for purposes Of distribution it is far
better, as the contents of the box do net
crumble away nearly so much as they did
when the principal portion was cake
alone. If only some one would invent o
box which could not be rifed and was
bound to reach its lawful destination,
we should have nothing left to desire

Scientific Calculations.

An electrical writer has calculated
that the firing of small pistol sets
free about 600 foot pounds of energy,
while a watch consumes about 1-54 900, :
OO0th of horsepower, the energy of the
bullet being sufficient to keep the time
for two years. An Edison telephone
transmitter requires about ,0O0th of the
energy in watch. 1t would therefore
be worked for 1000 years on the energy
exerted in the pistol. A lightning flash
of 100000 volts and 600 lampheres.
lasting 1-21 ,000th of second, would run
a 160-horsepower engine for 10 seconds.
