There is an endless variety Of use
to which nickel in-the-slOt ma
chimes will successfully lend them
selves, and it is scarcely surprising,
therefore, that their number is grow
ing apace. Probably one of the lat
estappliances OF the principle govern
ing their operation is found in the
hOt-water fountains which have been
brought out in France, and which
would seem to be eminently we'll
adapted to supply one of the wants
of principally the poorer classes of a
city's population. These fountains
are put up in the public street. and
afford the convenience of supplying
at any hour OF the day or night a GER
tain quantity or hot water in return
for a coin Of certain value, which Is
dropped into the slot in the now so
familiar way.
The dropping Of the coin auto
matically governs the flow OF water
from the street mains through the
small boiler, heated by a series of gas
jets, and similarly regulates the
quantity OF gas which is admitted,
and which is lighted by mean of a
small. constantly maintained ignit-
ing jet. A number of these machines
have been placed at different points
in the streets of Paris, and appar-
emily have proved to be profitable in-
vestments, being we'll patronized.
For each coin inserted something
like eight litres of water, at a tenn
perature of about 30 degrees Fahren-
heit, are delivered. Casters Maya.

XeXatiOuS Regulations.

Since the new police regulation
against strangers in France has come
into operation. all residents OF foreign
nationality now in the republic must
forthwith register their names and
pay a poll tax OF from 80 to 80 cents
per head of family. Some few mil
lions of francs will thus be scraped
together in the next three months
for the benefit of the national eX-
chequer. This will affect every Ole
who has the intention of residing in
a hired house or apartment-nOt of
course in hotelS-whetner in the
towns or in the country. Another
variety Of the new law is directed
against misdemeanOrs. Suppose you
disagree with your cabman over the
time you have occupied his Jehuistic
attentions and refuse to pay him
more than his legal fare, or what you
think to be this, he can bring you be-
fore the commisSaire de police and,
should you lose the case, you will be
compelled. unless eXtenuating cir
cumstances are found in your favor,
to leave the country forthwith with.
out option of return.

Che vreul's w%ell-known experiments
with lhe exploratory pendulum and
the divining rod show that, il we
direction, the hand will unconSciously
realize it and communicate it to the
pendulum. The tipping table re-
allies a movement we are anticipate
ing. through the intervention Of a
real movement Of the hands, of which
we are not cons iOus. Mindreading,
by those who divine by taking your
hand where you have hidden any
thing, is a reading of imperceptible
motions by which your thought is
translated without your being con-
scious of them, explains Alfred FOu-
illee in the Popular Science Monthly.
In cases Of fascination and vertigo,
which are more visible among chill
dren than adults, a movement is be-
gun the suspension of which is pre-
vented by a paralysis Of the will, and
it carries us on to suffering and death.
The mere thought of vertigo pro-
,okeS it. The board lying on the
ground suggests no thought of a fall
when you walk over it,; but when it
is owe a precipice, and the eye takes
the measure of the distance to the
bottom, the representation of a fall
ing motion becomes intense, and the
impulse to fall cOrrespondinglY {.
Even if you are safe there may still
be what is called the attraction of
the abyss. The vision of the gulf as
a fixed idea, having produced an
exhibition" on all your ideas and
forces, nothing is left but the figure
OF the great hole, with the intoxica-
tion of the rapid movement that be-
gins in your brain and tends to turn
the scales of the mental balance.
Temptation is nothing else than the
force of an idea and the motive i'm
pulse that accompanies it.

Sacred Serpent, Egypt.

A general belief in the divine char
acter and healing powers Of the sacred
serpent is to be met with all yer
Egypt, Even the myths which the
old Egyptians associated with the
snake are still prevalent. Egyptians
of all classes still believe that when
"a serpent grows old, wings grow out
of its body" and that there are SER
penis which kill by darling flames in
the victims face. How all such be-
liefs are in this country need not lie
repeated to those who have seen the
pictures in the Tombs of the Kings
at Thebes. The seref, or 'flying SER
pent,' and the snake from whose
mouth flames issue are among the
commoneSt of the figures painted on
their walls.
1t is not, however, as Kakodrmon,
but as AgathOdHmOn, that the divine
serpent of ancient Egypt still main
tains his chief hold on the belief of
the Egg, ptian people. Each house
still has its harraS or guardian
snake" commonly known as the har-
ras el-bet, 1.-THE protector of the
house" The snake is fed with milk
and eggs and care is taken not to do
it harm. A servant of mine, who was
born at Helwan, near Cairo, has
often told me about the guardian
snake of his fathers house, 1t was
a large one, and used to come out at
night for the sake of the food that
was offered it and to glide over the
bodies of the sleeping family. 1t
never did any Of them any mischief,
''ds it was always treated we'll" One
day a stranger snake made its appear
ance at the door Of the house; the
harraS at once went against it, and
after a short struggle killed the in

A Story of the King OF Spain.

The characteristic passion of the
King of Spain is for soldiers. Every
thing about the army interests him,
and he will listen to stories about
battles for any length Of time. He
was once taken by the Queen to the
Convent of the Assumption. About
sixty or seventy of the white robed
pupils were sent into thei gardens to
