ODDITIES ABOUT DEW.

BY the allwisc provision every plant and
inch of ground which needs dampness is
adapted for collecting dew.
Dew never falls, in the general acccpta-
ton OF that term, it being always formed
upon the surface of the material or sub
stance upon which it is found
Dew does not form on the surface of vast
bodies of water. On the contrary, the sur
faces of ships which traverse the ocean
have never been known to be dampcned by
it.
Dewdrops are always round or spheroidal
III form, because every portion of each drop
is equally balanced, no one part of the sur
face being farther from the center than an
other.
The reason that dew is rarely or never OBJ
served in the close, sheltered streets of
cities is because the buildings are exposed
To the radiation of each other, thus main
tanning Il temperature uniform with the air
Mist never becomes dew, because the chill
of the air is so rapid that vapor is CON
denscd faster than it can be deposited, and,
wrappin:, ;hc earth in sheet, as il were
prevents further radiation of heat from the
carth.-Chicago Herald.

A few Jumps of beeswaX wrapped each in

a little kerosene oil rubbed brskly over
the spots on dark clothing will brighten
the garments and remove the stains almost
likIe magic. The kerosene will evaporate
quick and leave no stain.
Coffee stains should come out if treated
before the cloth has been Numbered. Rub
the stain with n mixture made by dissolv-
ing the yolk of an egg in n little lukewarm
water. Wash with clean warm water and
the stain will vanish with it.

The Maxim Airsl,iu.

In II conversation with II. j. w. Dam
reported i'll McClure's Magazine, Hiram
S. Maxim, inventor of the Maxim air
ship. said:
''Thc principle have worked on, gen
orally speaking, is that of the kite. That
large cloth frame at the top of the mod
ell is the acroplanc, or main kite surface
The lesser aeroplanc above the platform
or car, the side aeroplanes or wings and
the fiat pointed rudders fore and aft are
designed TO furnish additional kite sur
face. 1t is necessary to make it, howev-
er, so that we can run it in calm
against the air, thus making our own
wind, as it wcre and for this purpose |
have Il railway track, and instead of
cords to hold the kite against the wind
employ pair Of powerful screw propel-
lers driven by IL steam engine.
''In this manner | can drive the ma
chine exactly as | please, can ascertain
exactly how much the push of the screws
is, and at tie same time find out exactly
how much the machine lifts ut different
speeds. The machine is, i'll fact, big
kite. Should | fly it in the air with a
cord during a strong gale and then run
my engines, should be able to find out
how fast they would have to run in order
to take all the pull off the cord. AS soon
as the cord became slack. the machine
would be flying with its own engine
power"

Steamship Shaft Indicators.

One of the most notable marine de-
vices in the engine room of first class
steamships is an arrangement by which
the engineers are enabled to know wheth-
er that part of the shaft which extends
outside the ships hold is working smooth
ly or not In all twin screw ships this
runs through sort of tunnel fastened
to the ship with big brackets. OF course
it is impossible to get at this shaft dur
ing voyage. On the Paris, for in
stance, this is said to be 40 feet long. To
meet the objection i'll question II little,
fine tube is made to pass along the top
of the shaft which runs inside the ship,
just over the shaft, and water is con-
stantly running through this tube in Il
fine stream. The engineer on watch fire.
quently tries the temperature of this
water with his hand, so that if the water
were warm he would know at once that
something was wrong with the working
of the shaft and it would be slowed down,
or this not remedying the trouble the
engines on that side would be stopped

wAsHINaroN,s STATE DINNERS.
:Ehey Wore Very Solemn Affairs. Accord.
ing to an Ancient AnnaIfst.


ing to an Anoiont AnnaIist.
Washingtons state dinners must have
been exceedingly solemn affairs if they
we're all like the description of the fol-
towing, which is found in the ancient
diary of Senator Maclay, one of the first
two representatives of the state of Penn
Vlvania in the United States senate:
Thursday, Aug. 81, 1854 little
after a o'clock called upon Mr.. Bassett
Of Delaware state, and we went to the
presidents for dinner.
"The company were President and
Mrs. Washington, Vice President and
Mrs. Adams, Governor Miffiin and his
wife, MIR. JAY and wife, Mr.. Langdon
and wife, Mr.. Dalton and lady (per-
haps his wife), Bassett. myself, Lee Lew
Is and the presidents two secretaries.
'The president and his wife sat oppo-
site each other in the middle of tho table;
the two secretaries, one ut each end. 1t
was great dinner and tho best of the
kind l ever was at. The room, however,
was disagreeably warm.
"First were soup, fish, roasted and
baked meats, CANNON, fowl, etc. This
was the dinner. The middle Of the table
was garnished in the usual tasty way,
with small images, artificial flowers, etc.
The dessert was fruit, apple pies, pud-
ding, ETC., then ice cream, jelly, ETC.,
then watermelons, muskmelons, apples,
peaches and nuts.
ut was the most solemn dinner l was
ever at Not health drank, scarce a
word said until the cloth was taken
away. Then the president, filling n glass
of wine, with great formality drank the
health of every individual around the
table. Everybody initiated him, changed
glasses, and such buzz Of Health, sir,
Health, madame Thank you, SIR and
Thank you, madame had never heard
before.
'"The ladies sat good while, and the
bottle passed about, but there was n dead
silence almost Mrs. Washington ut last
withdrew with the ladies. I expected
the men would now begin, but the same
silence remained. The president told of
New England clergyman who had lost
his hat and wig in passing n river called
the Bronx, and he smiled, and everybody
else laughed.
"He now and then said IL sentence or
two on some common subject, and what
he said was not amiss. Mr.. Jay tried to
make laugh by mentioning the carica-
ture of the Duchess of Devonshire as
sisting i'll carrying OH Fox's election.
"The president kept IA fork in his hand
when the cloth was taken away,
thought for the purpose of picking nuts
He ate none, but played with the fork,
striking OH the edge of the table. We
did not sit long after the ladies retired.
The president rose and went up stairs
to drink coffee. The company followed.
