pour lead or babbit metal.
The pieces were tested in their regular
wheel press. 1t was soon proved that
rope was amply strong, sustaining 20
tons with no other effect than reduc-
ton Of diameter owing to the compres-
sion of the soft center. Lead proved very
soft for fastening the wires-they pulled
through it. A composition of three parts

a curious thing happened-one side Of

HAIR DYEING AN ANCIENT ART.
From Cleopatra Down Women Have Re-
sorted to the Dangerous Practice.

From Cleopatra Down Women Have Re-
sorted to the Dangerous Practice.
The art of dyeing the hair is at least
as old as the time of Christ. 1t was by
resorting to such aids to beauty that Gle
opatra tried to capture Caesar. All
through history ladies of fashion have
tried to improve upon nature by artif-
cially colOring that which st. Paul tells
us is their glory.
In the heyday of Venice the facile
beauties of the city of the lagoons dyed
their hair red, to which Titan was not
ashamed to affix his name.
The belle of bellies in that day had red
hair-not bright red, but dull red
with glints of crimson. More recently
almost in our own time-a rage arose for
bright blond hair, as to which there was
tradition that it had been popular with
the Greek hetairae.
Blond heads blocked the thorough
fares, and young ladies of good repute
did not disdain to employ the dyer until
his services were monopolized by another
class. In our day the popular color is a
bright shade of auburn-the blond GEN.
DIRE of the boulevards-an silly girls go
through martyrdom to impart that tint
to their locks. For the popularity of
blond hair the argonaut finds this ex-
cuse, that it is rarer than black or brown
hair and finer. Everybody knows that
the legend of the golden fleece was sug-
gested by the ardor with which Jason
op1 otLar Craoly ooppoiScar,rS r,r,rcu ad
the blond haired maidens of Colchis.
Almost all hair dyes consist of sulphur
and acetate of lead, both of which are
injurious to so delicate plant as human
hair. A steady course of either will i'm
pair the vitality of the hair papilla and
may destroy the medulla altogether.
Women who bleach their hair use per-
oxide of hydrogen, which after time
imparts an unnatural and wiglike luster
to the hair. A more dangerous dye still
has for its basis nitrate of silver.
When this is used, the hair is first
washed with sulphuret of potassium.
The nitrate is applied while it is still
wet. In all these cases the drug is adul-
terated with a pigment of the desired
color. and the effect for the time is to
substitute that color for the natural hue
of the cortical substance or hair bark.
1t need hardly be said that the effect Of
a continued use of such medicaments Is
to enfeeble and ultimately to rot the root
sheaths. Badness then ensues, and for
that science has discovered no REMEDY

FREELAND PIONEERS.

They Have Gone to Find Their Valley Of
Eden In the African Wilderness.
Dr. Theodor Hertzka's plan to found
an ideal commonwealth in east Africa is
being carried into effect with great ra-
pidity. Late in February the English
members Of the pioneer expedition to
Mount Kenia left London for the conti-
nent, and a week ago the pioneer corps
sailed for Mombasa, on the east African
coast. Their ultimate object is to organ
ize a colony in which land and capital
will be free, and everybody will be well
clothed, well fed, we'll sheltered and well
educated. Their immediate object is to
explore the land round their so called
valley of Eden, on Tana river, and to Sc
lect and limit exactly the territory which
the colony or commonwealth of Free
land is to occupy.
DR.. HertZka has been exceptionally
successful in obtaining powerful patron
age for his ventursOme enterprise. Not
only has the British government granted
him land and moral support, but the
austrian authorities have also given the
little band of refOrmers much encOur-
ment and some money. The Royal Mu-
scum of Natural History in Vienna, for
instance, has presented the pioneer ex-
peditiOn with the apparatus and instru-
ments for procuring information and
collections of the fora and fauna of the
valley of Eden.
The Royal and Imperial Military and
Geographical institute of Vienna, the
South KensingAOn museum and other So
cieties have also given practical proof of
their interest in the explorations. All
fresh knowledge will be promptly COM
municated to the Royal Geographical
and other societies. Among other things
the Freelanders have set themselves to
do is to institute a regular service of
small steamboats, from the mouth of the
river Tana to the limit of navigation,
about $50 miles, and TO carry on expert
ments in the domesticatiOn of the ele-
phant and zebra.

GOOD LOOKS SAVED HER.

a young lady employed by gold and

good looks to thank for the fact that she

and nearly down to her waist. From
time to time it was noticed that the gold

did not go as far as it ought in making
jewelry and gem settings, and that even
allowing for the filings, which are most
carefully preserved, there was distinct
leakage. Steps were taken to subject
the employees to a more rigid search,
but no discovery was made until the
young lady with the long hair quar-
relied with her roommate over love af-

gave away the most interesting story.
The young lady had kept her hair
well creased, and then while at work

Vowels In the Hawaiian Tongue.

The Hawaiian language is composed
mainly of vowels and a few consonants
put in to vary the mOnotony. And the
beauty of the system is that there is no
waste. Every vowel is pronounced. For
instance, when the American eye winks
at the appearance of the simple word
''naauao," the glib native rolls out the
five syllables with neatness and dispatch.
This means "enlighten." Double VOW
els are very frequent, hut never a diph-
thong. Three vowels are not uncOm-
mon, and, as above, four and sometimes
more are found unseparated by cOnso-
nants. In the mouth of the uneducated
native the language is apt to be explo-
sive, but the higher classes speak it with
fluent grace that surpasses the French
or the Italian. In sound it somewhat
resembles the general flow of the con-
tinental European languages, for the
vowels all have the French quality, and
the accents are not dissimilar.
