'It would be strange indeed, says
the Philadelphia Inquirer, eff the
Worlds Fair would work II revolu-
tion in the making of flour, and set to
going once more the small flour mills
of the east, whose business was taken
away by the great mills of the north
west. A miller in Western Pennsyl-
yania saw at the Worlds Fair II com
plete set of improved machinery for
making -four, which cost 81, 900 The
miller examined il and thought it the
best invention ever made. He WAS
told that the machinery was in ope-
ration in mill in Mercer county,
where on examination he found il was
making fifty barrels of flour a day. If
this be true, it will not be long before
the old mills in the East are rctittcd

the first stages o! its existence il is
simply caterpiller, about three or
four inches in length, and always
found in connection with the rata
tree, kind OF towering myrtle. II
appears that when il reaches full
growth il buries itself two or three
inches under ground. where. instead
OF undergoing the ordinary chrysalis
process, il becomes gradually trans
formed into plant, which exactly
fills the body and shoots up at the
neck TO a height OF eight or ten
inches. This plant resembles in ap-
pearance d diminutiye bulrush, and
the two, animal ard plant are al
ways found inseperable. One is apt
TO relegate il TO the domain OF imag-
ination, among Dragons and mer-
maids; but then its existence and na.
ture have been accepted by the late
Frank Buckland How it propagates
its species is a mystery. One trav-

as present observation goes the grub
never becomes butterfly, but is
changed in every case into a plant.

Color photography.

The art OF photographing COlorS
seems to be progressing i'm Il very en-
couraging manner. The color photo
graphs OF VI. Lippmann. which cX-
cited SO much interest Il year or so
ago, have recently been surpassed by
the achievements OF VI. Louis Lu-
mierc. VI. Lumiere, whose name in
English means light, has succeeded
in preparing gelatinobromide plates
which give, with an exposure OF half
IN hour, Photographic reproduc-
tion OF the natural colors OF objects.
An exhibition of his work was
made before the committe OF the
Photo CLUB OF Paris at their June
meeting, VI. Lippmann being present
as the presiding officer. Photographs
were shown exhibiting in their nat
ural hueS boxes colored cloths, fans,
Japanese screens. flowers and land

The landscape photographs aroused
the greatest interest The delicacv

quite astonishing. All the shades

Speed on Land and Water.

The fast time made by the Paris
Campania and Lucania on the east
ward and westward courses across the
Atlantic seems to snow that within
certain limits the larger the ship the
greater the speed. The improvement
i'm late years in the model OF ocean
ships, and especially in the perfection
OF the triple exhaustion engine, have,
however, more TO do with speed and
safety than the mere increase in size.
The Great Eastern was wonder in
size in her day, hut she could make
no such record as the two new Cum
arderS. So many advances have been
made in recent years in every part OF
our big ocean liners that it is hard
TO f0resee at what point the limit Of
speed will stop
If ships run can be increased
from $50 miles day 10 nearly 800
day. no one is prepared 10 say that it
must stop at the latter point. This
speed, it must be remembered, has
not been attained at the expense OF
safety. Considering the narrow lane
the Atlantic liners use, and the great
increase in recent years in the num-
bcr OF ships, accidents are rare.
a similar change has taken place
in railway transportation. Expert
mcnt has showr that nowadays the
big engines are the best, and that
there is less danger at Il high rate OF
speed Of heavy cars like the Pullmans
leaving the track. Inventive skill is
very active, aud, considering the
startling advances made in the ap-
plicatiUn of electricity for purposes
Of transportation, we may not be sur
prised TO find in few years that
trains can be run at speed approx
mating numbered miles an hour. IT
will not do TO say that such speed is
too great to be consistent with safety.
We are practical people. If any in
yention or application cannot prove
10 be safe as we'll as useful, the aver.
age American will not waste time
and money on il. We have the fast
est and best trains in the world, and
when the road-be are further i'm
proved there will be no railway tray-
cling that can compare in any way
with the American.

INTER OCEAN:-A dozen women

cowardice in the very inception OF

girls broke the bonds that bound
them, and succeeded, after hard
tusSle, in getting away. They
reached town in a most dilapidated
condition, their clothes nearly torn
from them, but they had effected
