WATER DEPTHS.
Ingenious Methods by Which They May

Ingenious Methods by Which They May
BE Asccrtained From IL Distance.
Mr.. Frederick J. Smith, of Trinity
college, Oxford. explains a curious way
of finding the depth of Il piece of water
at distance.
About two years ago l wished to
know from time to time the rate at
which thu river was rising after fall
of rain. The river was considerable
distance from the spot whore its height
was to be known. BY means of the
combination of two organ pipes and
telephone circuit, described in the fol
lowing lines, l have been able to make
the required measurement within
rather close limits. At the river station
an organ pipe was fixed vertically in an
inverted position, SO that the water in
the river acted as Il stopper to the pipe
and the rise or fall of the water deter
mined the note it gave when blown by
small bellows driven by small
watcr-W heel
microphonc was attached to the
upper end of the organ pipe; this was
in circuit with u wire leading to town
station at some distance: at the town
station there was an exactly similar
organ pipe, which could be lowered
into vessel filed with water while it
was sounding. by means of the tele-
phone the note given by the pipe at the
river was clearly at the town station;
then the organ pipe at this station was
| lowered or raised by hand until it gave
the same note. The lengths of the
organ pipes under water at the two
stations were then equal, so that the
| height of the water in the distant river
/ was known.
The determination can be made in
less than u minute by any one who can
| recognize the agreement of two similar
notes. The arrangement when first
tested was so placed that the height of
the water at two places near together
might be easily compared. / found
that n lad with an average ear for
musical sounds was able to get the two
heights to agree within an eighth of an
inch of each other, while a person with
an educated ear adjusted the instru-
ment Immediately to almost exact
agreement. The total height to be
measured was seventeen inches. A
difference of temperature at the two
stations would make u small difference
in the observed heights. For instance
take note 1nused by $50 vibrations
per second, q difference of 10 degrees c.
between, the temperature of the two
stations Zone not likely to occur) would
make a difference of about O.O2 feet il
the height, quantity of no moment il
such a class of measurements The
organ pipes were of square section ant
made of metal to resist the action O

A DOCTORS ADVICE.
what the Furnace Does In the Way Of
Bringing Disease.

what the Furnace Does In the Way of
Bringing Disease.
This winter season of the year brings
into prominence furnaces and steam
heat and many other conditions in the
way of internal affairs which do not
operate at other times of the year.
With these come odors which cannot
be accurately defined in-draughts, and
variety of slight disturbances OF
peculiar quality. AS the autumn dies
and is supplanted by winter, the house
wife has, as it were, her nose in the
air, getting here and there a something
which attracts her sense of smell, and
yet a something which she cannot de-
fine, although she knows intuitively
that 1T Is not healthy. She may search
in many directions and not discover the
source, or she may locate one odor and
neglect the other, or fail to recognize
the most important of all.
When the fires are burning in
furnace there is an outside draught OF
air which has to be heated in the
furnace and then distributed through
out the household. This air comes dl-
rectly from the street and carries with
it all the impurities which wind can
take up, for the heat of the furnace is
sufficient to create draught from with
out, irrespective of the natural influx
to the heating chamber of the furnace
There goes with the air drawn in the
dust and dirt, the offal and garbage
that have lain on the pavement and
have been pulverized, and conglomera-
ton of germs which would stock
laboratory. This is all heated and then
tod I1l lixriy,
parlors and bedrooms.
The odors are amplified by the heat
to which their generators are subjected
and they disseminate in measure quite
out of proportion to their Importance.
To the busy housewife this all comes
under the heading of coal gas" but
coal gas proper has nothing to do with
the case. A furnace cannot emit coal
gas in sufficient quantity to make the
odor perceptible throughout the house,
and the heated air has really no direct
contact with the fire.
The furnace may be put at the tail
end of the line as a sanitary heat pro-
ducer, even though it may furnish
comparatively uniform temperature. 1t
is responsible for ailments of many
kinds, and cannot compare with steam
heat or the good, old-fashioned stove.
The latter produces good draught
from Within outwards, carrying away
impurities and regulating the change
in the air of rooms which is afforded by
ventilation.
TO correct the odors which come
through the register, piece of cheese
cloth over the pipe which carries the
air to the heating chamber of the fur
mace will act as a sieve, leaving behind
the impure matters which heat might
develop into destructive agents
OF tho other odoriferous agents con-
spicuous in winter, the most prominent
is dccomposing soap in stationary ba-
sins and the waste pipes. 1t is the gen
eral heat of the rooms which gives it a
prominence and facilitates decay. This
can be remedied by flushing the basins
and pipes with heated vinegar and hot
water. Sewer gas is odorless. Do not
attribute anything which smells to this
insidious and deadly poison.-N. Y.

PRECIOUS GOLDEN HAIR.
A French landlords Scheme for Drawing

A French Landlords Scheme for Drawing
Custom.
Some time ago the landlord of the
tavern at Les Baux, digging in his gar
den, came on a slab, which, being re-
moved, exposed a mediaval princess,
still young and living. A moment after
she had crumbled into dust, all save
her wonderful golden hair-yards of it,
crisp, silky, and shining which filed
the stone coffin with splendor. In this
poetic treasure trove the landlord saw
an excellent opportunity. He changed
the name of his inn, which forthwith
became 1.-THE Sign of the Golden Hair, "
and there, sure enough, on the parlor
able, in a coffin of glass and plush, lay
the thousand-year-old tresses of the
dead princess. The curiosity attracted
custom, and having made his pile, the
landlord sold the tavern and retired to
shave the inhabitants of Aigues Mortes
Sat the Sign of the Capello dor"
The villagers of Les Baux spend most
OF their time in delving for similar
treasure. No one else has found a
coffin full of golden hair, but skeletons,
coins of all periods and armor, are
everyday occurrences They dine on
Gaulish tibias, skulls of Roman sol
diers, dead cats of the stone period, and
miscellaneous assortment of rusty
iron. Not one Of them but will sell
you human bone from desecrated
