Best Oil to still the Waters.

A German physicist, DIR. koeppen
OF the Hamburg Marine Observatory,
has recently been making a series of
experiments to test the comparative
value OF different kinds of oil for the
purpose OF stilling the waters. In a
report that he published recently he
declares that petroleum or paratin is
of no use whatever, and olive oil OF
little value. On The other hand, he
says that rapeseed ON and oil OF tur-
pentine have considerable effect; but
the most effective OF all oils is train
oil. Not satisfied with these expert
ments, he then set to work with other
fatty materials, and reports that he
found a solution of soap to be far SUI
perior as a wave-sLiller to any kind OF
oil. He says that only a very thin
solution of soap is required, about one
part Of soap to a thousand parts OF
water. The hint about soap and wa
ter sounds as IL 1t might be valuable,
hut tine doctors remarks about Pc
troieum are scarcely in accordance
with reports which have been pub.
lished from time to time during the
last few years.

Leaning Towers.

The Spanish city Of Saragossa had
until recently a leaning tower, known
as the Tore Nueva or new tower
a sufficiently appropriate title in 1904,
when it was erected. but scarcely ap-
plicable after the lapse Of nearly four
hundred years 1t was 23O feet high
and ~ feet wide at the base, dimin-
ishing to 30 feet at the top The
walls Of the lower portion were origl-
nally II feet thick, but when the set
Ting OF the south side OF tower,
which had been long in progress, had
thrown it dangerously out Of the per-
pendicular, the wall or that side was
strengthened to Is feet in thickness.
This was done some thirty years ago,
but the remedy proved Intellectual, and
at length the apparent peril became
SO great that the tearing down Of the
venerable structure was ordered, and
the work of demolition was lately
begun. The more celebrated Lean
ing Tower of Pisa is less lofty. being
$50 feet high. but its inclination is
owe thirteen feet Its proper name
is the Campanile OF the Cathedral,
and its age 700 years, or nearly double
that OF its rival at Saragossa. More
over, though it leans SO much as to
severely try the nerves OF tourists
who look down from the lower verge
Of its summit, it stands solidly on its
base. and has done so for many cent
uries-so long, in fact, that it cannot
now be determined whether its lean
ing is accidental, or whether its
builders Intentionally constructed it
in that position, penetrating a huge
architectural joke for the entertain
ment of p~osterity.

Twenty-foar Thousand Tons Annually Used
by the People Of This Country.

IWenty.fOuF ThO01and Tons Cee0
BY tho People Of This Country.
Hidden away In a dark and cob
webby corner beneath the roof OF the
Treasury at Washington is q room
filed with . mysterious assemblage
Ut queer looking apparatus which has
the aspect of an alchemist's labor
atory. Yet the work done there has
to do not with gold or a vital
elixir, but with the analysis OF food
aud drink. It Is the chemical d.
vision OF the internal revenue bureau,
and n Of the matters IL has in
chargs Is the detection Of fraud In
the sale OF oleomargarinc for butter.
The Kansas City journal expresses
surprise on learning that the con-
sumption OF oleomargarie in this
country has doubled 10 the last five
years. The people OF the United
States eat 4, 600, 900 pounds Of itevery
month, or "a, 900 tons annually.
Nearly all Of 1t it IL put up by the
great meat packers Of Chicago, Gin
cinnati, New York, Providence, and
Kansas City. The manufacture Of it
is lawful, but 1t is not permitted to
masquerade as butter in the market
Suspected samples are bounced upon
by revenue agents and submitted to
chemical tests
Three-fourth of the hotels and
nearly all Of the restaurants aud
boa.ding-houses in the United States
use oIeomargarine. For their pur-
poses this artificial product is excel
lently adapted. Whereas butter
quickly spoils, oleomargarine always
looks nice and remains fresh indet-
nitely. Some OF it which has been
kept at the Treasury for three years
Is as good as eve today. 1t is bet
ter In flavor than any except first
rate butter. People who buy rancid
butter for cooking would do much
better to purchase o.eomargarine.
The best Of the latter is not cheap,
costing as much as % cents a pound,
thus approaching ordinary grades OF
butter in price. The peculiar flavor
Ut butter is due to the presence OF
As per cent. OF fatty acid. These
acids are volatile and rapidly decom-
pose, hence the rapidity with which
the substance spoils Oleomargarine
contains very little OF such destructi-
bic material. 1t is made from beef
fat, which is removed from the ami
NAL in the process Of slauphtering,
washed and placed in a cold water
bath. Next the fat is cut into small
pieces by machine and cooked until
the liquid portion has separated from
the tissues The liquid fat is settled
until perfectly clear. Then it is
pressed to extract the stearine. leav-
ing Il pure ''pleo OIL" which, churned
together with milk and butter, be-
comes oleomargarine. The fat being
almost tasteless, butter is put in to
give the requisite flavor, the best
oleomargarine having 20 per cent of
the finest butter.

Away up among the %sagcbrush Of
White Pine, Cal. far removed from the
Shrek of the locomotive and only dis
turhed by the occasional prospector, is
a strange, silent city. Once more than
$4,000 people carried IN all kinds OF
business and traffic there. 1t was dur
ing the phenomenal rush to White Pine
in 1857. Many hundreds OF buildings
were erected. 1t was a wild, new city
which never slept, and where were en-
acted all the scenes which in the telling
made Mark Twain and Bret Harte fa-
nous. This was the story which an old
White Pine man recounted:
Now, If you go there he said, you
see only a few OF those buildings, for
most of them have fallen in and de-
cayed. Scattered log cabins yet remain
where mountain squirrels scurry to and
fro at the sound Of mans footsteps.
But it is not OF this l started out 10 tell
you, but OF a second silent city where
hundreds Of men lie buried, aud where
scarcely O headstone marks their last
resting place. The formation all about
there is largely OF limestone. Water
percolating through 1t partakes OF the
nature OF lime, and this in many cases
has petrified the todies. So ii one were

Natural History.

Love-making among spiders is q
most curious performance. A mae
spider will approach u female and
amuse her for some time with antics.
1t is said that he twists round and
round, Gro ses his legs, erects his
body and executes a sort Of May
dance to excite her admiration. She
is a very vicious lady, and not always
pleased with his love making; some.
times he finds himself obliged to ward
her of, for she has a painful mode Of
showing her displeasure. and il she
entirely disapproves OF his attentions,
will fall upon him and rend him in
pieces A decidedly unpleasant way
of reciprocating attention.
One species of spider Is said to have
a novel way OF making love, the sexes
communicating by means of strands
OF web stretching from one retreat
to the other-a sort of telephone, SO

How a Bank Run Was stopped.

Horace McPhee, who il here as
Riverside County Commiss 'oner, says
there was no furry whatever about
the bank Of Elsimore. The people
knew the bank was safe and were
willing to let 1t remain SO.
And then McPhee told a story
which is particularly pat at these
times He said there was a run on a
bank In an iron mill town and the
deposltOrs were being paid in silver
dollars. The excitement increased
and the run became a fast one.
The cashier was a young Irishman
and the work put upon him was more
than he liked. He resolved to stop
1t. He sent the janitor with a bushel
OF silver dollars into a rear room
where there was a stove, with in
structions to s'heaL them silver dol
lars redhot" They were heated, and
in that condition handed out with a
q ladle. The depositors first grabbed
the coin, then kicked. "But you'll
nave to take them that way" said the
cashier. 1--WE are turning them out
as fast as we can melt and mold
them. and if you won't walt till they
cool you'll have to take them hot"
That settled it. The run was
stopped. McPhee says the story is
true, but denies that he was the
Irish cashier. San Diego Sun.

The soldiers Pace in Marching.

@ 80 >~e
Apropos OF marching, Col. Hutton
reminds us that the marching value
OF an army IL that OF its worst regi-
mcnts rather than Of its best, for we
cannot afford to outmarch our worst
regiments aid then deplete them OF
their men. The rate of marching
laid down In the infantry drill, 1892
that Is, 120 PAGES OF thirty inches
per minute-gives a rate OF three
miles 100 yards per hour, or,
including five minutes halt. three
miles 22O yards per fifty-hve minutes.
This pace is, In the opinion OF this
officer, obviously too great for the
movement OF larger units OF com.
mand than a battalion, or perhaps OF
a weak brigade without baggage
train. 1t is universally accepted by
continental authorities that the rate
for marching under campaigning con-
ditions is two ana one-half miles per
hour, including five to ten minutes
halt. The French, who have the
tradition OF being the best marchers
in Europe, lay down in precise form
the rate OF march for their infantry
at two and forty-eight one hundreth
miles per hour. including ten min
utes' halt, giving, therefore, two and
foIty-elght one hundreth miles in
fifty minutes, or eighty-seyen and
five one -hundreth yards per minute.
The Alpine Chasseurs-the pick Of
the French infantry who take
special pride in their marching
powers-mareh at the rate OF five
kilometers or three miles and one
tenth, per hour, including ten min.
utes' halt, or three and one one-hun-
dreth miles in fifty minutes. Lon

There really seems to be NO end to

Chinese to do something which we In

barous and cruel indeed, and 1t Is this:
The Chinese do not admire small eyes,
and to reach their standard of beauty O
girls eyes must be not only very large.
but very long and brilliant. The eyes
are easily made brilliant by putting cer-
tain drugs in them, but to make them
long when nature has not intended
to be so is quite another matter. To
accomplish it the 0me have often re-
course to a kind Of home surgery which
must be very painful. A (hinefe
mother who has a child affected with
email eyes takes the child at the age Of
