A FLYING STREET CAR.
An Aerial Whaicbact to Run by Trolley
at the Antwerp Exposition.

An Aerial Whai"back to Run by Trolley
at the Antwerp Exposition.
a flying street car is the latest novelty
which an ingenious Belgian has devised
for the convenience and amusement of
visitors to the Antwerp exposition. He
does not call it a flying street car, but
grand balloon dirigiblc' is the Belgian
way of putting it.
In appearance the flying street car re-
sembles the famous Pennington airship
or a miniature whaleback upside down.
The floating apparatus is a huge cigar
shaped bag, to which is attached the
street car itself. In the front or prov OF
the car is an immense fan or propeller,
and at the other end an apparatus like u
barn door in three sections, which pro-
vides rudder.
The car is divided into three sections.
one for the motorman, another for the
passengers and third, which CORE
spends about in size to the baggage
apartment Oh suburban car, is for the
use of the conductor.
The much abused trolley system has
been turned to good account in connec-
ton with this flying street car, as from
the overhead wire the electricity is OBJ
tanned with which to work the motor.

The combined efforts OF Anthony Com
stock and the whole police department
are seemingly not Very effective against
those little gambling machines which
have been fixtures III nearly every cigar
store and liquor shop in the city for the
last two or three years.
The original scheme was that man
by puttinga nickel i'll a slot would start
an Indicator spinning around a dial. The
point at which it stopped would enable
him to receive one, two, three or more
cigars, but most often the Indicator
would stop at a blank, which was set at
frequent points on the dial.
The existence of the blank, it seems,
made it a gambling device within the
meaning of the law, and the machine
was ordered out of existence by the po-
lice. Now, however, it appears again,
and there are no blanks on the machine.

MSS Kate Widschied, the First WO-
man Graduate From a German UNI
versity.
That men and women are on an in
tellectual level has been admitted by
but very few Germans Not only have
professional schools and universities
been closed to women; the same course
has been observed ut minor colleges,
and female aspirants for educational
honors have, consequently. been con-
fined to seminaries whose curriculum
has generally been SO narrow as to be
out of comparison with institutions
reserved for their brothers. Lately
women began to grow FESTIVE under
these restrictions, and finally the enter
ing wedge of freedom appeared in the
establishment at Berlin of the Victoria
Lyceum, under the p~rotectorate of the
present emperor's mother, the ex-Em-
press Frederick. This was soon follow
ed by others, and to-day the studious
German girl has nearly as many OPP
portunities for gratifying her tastes as
her hitherto more fortunate brother.

almost be said to have disappeared q

A Music-LOvlnx Dog.

dogs have most acute ears in detect
ing differences in the quality of sound"
said a musician yesterday. II have
at home a large Newfoundland which
is a great lover of music. No matter
in what portion of the house he may
be, he always ome to me when I
begin to play, lying close to the piano.
I have an old organ. It is n Of
those instruments with many stops and
but few qualities. I think I have been
able, after much endeavor, to distin-
guish two different qualities of tone
in I'LL of the long row of stops, but my
dog made it apparent to me that my
ears were not as acute Is his. I play
for variety upon the organ, nOtWith-
standing it's being Anticipated, and my
dog seems to enjoy this as much as
the piano, all except one stop. When
ever I pull that stop out he rises to
his feet suddenly and commences to
bark and growl at me in the most
vicious manner, sometimes biting at the
organ. Now, to my ea", that sound
makes no difference in the sound Of the
organ. I have tried hard to detect the
distinctive quality which aggravates the
dogs nature, but without success. I
have tried to fool the old fellow by
commencing a tune upon one stop and
suddenly pulling out the obnoxious one.
He never fails to detect this, though
the sound to me is just the same

C.-And not too complicated, either.
Fl. MI understand. You want an

and small cost.
C.-Exactly. But not one of those in
fernal things that slam the doors to
with a bang.
H. M.-That would be a nuisance, Of
course. What you want is an automat-
ic dOor-closcr, of simple design, small
cost and with an easy spring.
C.-That's right. But 1 don't want
it to close the door too slowly either.
Fl. MIN other words you require
something faster than cold molasses.
Briefly, what you are looking for is
an automatic door-closer of simple de-
sign and small cost, that is neither too
slow nor too fast.
C.-That's all right. And, besides, it
mustn't be like some I have seen,
where a man needs the strength Of an
OK to open the door.
H. M.--Very we'll. Very well. Now

Glass Better Than Silver.

Silver is more difficult to keep in Or
der than glassware, especially in cold
weather, when it is subjected to the
blackening influence Of the gas from
stove and furnace. The wise house
keeper permits no article Of silver upon
her sideboard and needlessly add to her
labor Of cleaning. The best receptacle
for unused articles of silver is a bag
Of canton flannel. This is made wide
enough to accommodate the various
articles, and is stitched to form narrow
pockets with suitable openings at the
top, a tape being attached to each side
at the center. In these pockets the
pieces of silver are placed, each kind by
itself; and the bag is then rolled, tied
securely and put away in a drawer
that is entirely free from dampness.
When a certain article Is wanted, a
quick wiping with a piece of channels
will usually render it perfectly present
able.
Silver that is in daily use, comments
the Delineator, should be washed with
very hot suds made with soap that con-
tains nothing that will scratch the pol
ished surfaces, and should then be well
rinsed with hot, clear water, dried
quickly and thoroughly with a soft,
cloth, and Immediately rubbed vigor-
eusly with a soft, dry chamois. If the
silver is treated thus whenever it is
washed, it will remain bright for q long
time 4

Though diamonds will neve be an
important product in the United States
only an occasional gem of the kind
| being picked up here and there-such
vast quantities of them are consumed
mere that the geological survey has
thought 1t worth while to prepare a
monograph on the subject, which will
soo be issued. The fact has been es.
tablished that the supposed diamonds
round In meteOrites near the Canon
Diablo, in Arizona, are actually sucls
This Is a matter Of profound interest,
indicating as it does that such stones
exist on other planets. Some authori-
ties assert that diamonds like coal,
which Is SO nearly of the same chemi-
cal constitution, could not possibly
come into existence without previous
vegetable growths to generate their
material. For this reason they infer
that the finding of the gems in the me-
teorites prove that there must have
been vegetable life in the place whence
the metecrltes came. If there was We
getable life there it is a fair presump-
ton that there was animal life also.
All this may be untrue, but, according
to the Providence Journal, it affords
the first gucss-g]impse ever obtained
into the greatest problem that a
kind has attempted to handle, namely,
the question whether life exists in 9TH
er worlds than ours.
1t seems strange to take a couple of
ounces of charcoal in ones hand and
to consider that one is handling the
pure material of the diamond. If you
could transform it into crystalline form
you could sell those few pinches of
stuff for $1,OOO,O0O perhaps. No won
der that chemists are eager to discover
the secret Of effecting this change. To
assert that they will never learn how
to make crystals of carbon would be
absurd. BY means of the voltaic bat
terry real diamonds Of almost micro
scopic size have been deposited upon
threads of platinum. iiut even if a
successful process should be discovered
it might be that the cost Of making
n diamond by it would be bigger than
the price of a stone OF equal size and
purity from the mines. One recalls
the experience of Professor Sage, who

from gold extracted from the ashes Of
certain burned vegetable substances.
The result was beautiful, scientifically
speaking, but the expense of making
in this way one $5-piece was about $25.
The value of rough gems of all sorts
produced in this country in 1893 was,
$4,000 less than the output for the
year before, amounting to only $780,
600. The decrease was mainly owing
to the industrial depression. The prec-
lous stones of the United States are
sold in large parts to tourists, who pur-
chase them as souvenirs Of localities
visited.

A New Way to Play the Organ.
the colonel said if some one would
work the organ pedals for him he
would show them a trick he used to
do in England.
The pedals were worked and the
colonel leaped into the center Of the
room as agile as a squirrel. Rising
nimbly on his hands, his feet in the
air, he walked quickly to the organ,
and to tile astOnishment Of every one
played "Home, Sweet Home" with his
heels. AS an encore he played "Will
Never Get Drunk Any More" Still
standing on his hands he walked to
the center of the room and turned a
half-dozen hand springs. Considering
his advanced age and the fact that
his body is filed with leaden bullets,
it was a most wonderful feat.
