in two months. The trouble began on
the night OF October 80, when 300 build
ings were destroyed and $4,OUOOOO

To Take off Old Paint.

1t is very seldom now that you see a
painter burn off old paint with spirit
lamp or torch, though there are still a
few who stick to the old method. The
easiest way to clean paint off wood, or
even metal, is to mix lime and salsoda
pretty thickly in water and then apply
freely with brush. After short time
the paint can be scraped off without
difficulty Any amateur can use this
recipe; only little care is advisable,
as the mixture will remove the skin
from the hands or face even more rap
idly than it will remove paint from
wood or metal.-St. Louis Globe Demo

SMOKELEss COAL COMBUSTION.
No Trace OF SmudGe Left by an Invention
Patented in Berlin.

No Trace OF SmudGe Left by an Invention
Patented in Berlin.
The problem of the snokeless com
bustion of coal is said to have been
solved by an invention which has Just
been patented in Berlin and which is
thus described by German correspon-
dent ofa London newspaper: At the
furnace door there is a movable pear
shaped apparatus, consisting princi-
pally of a fire chamber lined with fire
brick. One aperture of this hollow
pear opens in the direction of the axis
of the boiler into the mouth of the
hitherto employed furnace, from which
the fire CRATES, fire bridges, etc, have
been removed.
The opposition aperture of the hol-
low pear is intended to admit a cur
rent of air. By means of an ingenious
automatic contrivance, coal dust, sup
piled through a funnel placed above
the current of air, is continually con-
vcyed into the current of air and thence
into the fire chamber, where it is i'm
mediately brought into combustion by
means of small fire which is placed
there. When this has once taken
place the coal dust conveyed by the
current of air continues to burn in one
regular, intense flame.
The current of air which brings the
coal dust into the apparatus is regu-
lated SO as merely to convey the dust
thither, whereas the further supply of
air necessary for combustion is sent
into the zone of combustion at right
angles and in radiating jets.
BY this arrangement the coal dust
and the air in the zone of combustion
are intimately and thoroughly mixed,
while the speed of the current which
introduces the coal dust is diminished.
1t will thus be seen that the combus-
tion of the coal which this method
produces is extremely thorough, for
each particle of fuel floats in the air
and is brought into contact with the
oxygen necessary for its combustion,
SO that it is totally consumed the mo-
ment it enters the sphere of combus-
tion. The proof of it's being totally
consumed is seen in the fact that not
even trace of smoke is perceptible.

Stag as a Fertilizer.

The Stag that accumulates about

cause it contains no weed seeds or dis

THE MAHARAJA'S WIFE.
Her Clever Ruse in Circumventing
the Hindoo Laws
BY Clothing Herself in Boys Attire the
Potentate's wife Was Enabled to
Accompany Him on His visit
to America

One little incident of the mahara-
jah's trip to this country which has
not yet been chronicled, says the Phil
adelphia Press, gives spice of adven-
ture to the potentate's visit not often
met with in these prosaic nineteenth
century days.
The Hindoo laws relating to women
not only enforce their seclusion from
what we term society, but forbid them
from leaving the boundaries of India
under any pretext They are allowed
to travel about in their own country
under the strictest surveillance and
with the proper escort, but the Brah-
Minis, the ancient, priests of the Budd-
hist religion, holding their iron rule
over rajah and low caste alike, have
from time immemorial forbidden the
women to travel in foreign lands.
When the maharajah decided upon
taking his favorite wife with him on
his visit to the United States he had to
devise some means of circumvcnting
the Brahmin tradition, and what did
he hit upon but the old disguise of
Rosalind He dressed his pretty little
anana up as boy and sailed out on
his long journey without fear of the
displeasure of the priests
The little lady lent herself to the
part she had to play. Several Amcri-
cans who met the rajah's party in
Rome and other continental cities
were attracted by the pretty youth
who was with them. When they tried
to make friendly advances. the ex-
treme modesty with which they were
met rather puzzled them until, on ar
irving at Paris, the pretty youth dis
appeared and the wife of the rajah
took his place.
One American lady who enjoyed the
society of the rajah and his suite much
from Rome to New York was not let
into the secret until on board the
steamship Paris she spoke to the
rajah's secretary about the absence of
that handsome boy she had met travel
ing with them
The secretary explained the little
ruse by which they had outwitted the
Brahmins. Soon afterward the lady
was introduced to the anana and the
latter, on being reminded of her
changed identity, laughing, replied in
French. which she speaks very well:
"Ah. yes; in Rome ] was messieur.
In Paris was madame. prefer to be
madame"
If the little trick should be discov-
cred by the Brahmins on his return, all
the maharajah would have to do to
condone his offense would be to hand
over good generous dulce to the of
Tended hierarchy.
This method of evading time hon
ored custom is evidently becoming
quite popular among the younger orr
entail potentates who are developing
the modern mania for travel. The
sultan of Turkey. in his recent travels
through Europe. had with him a very
beautiful and mysterious page-his
| favorite wife, who, however. preserved
her ,incog. until they returned to the
! palace.
