HAIR DYElNG AN ANCIENT ART.

From Cleopatra Down Women Have Re-
sorted to tho Dangerous Practice.
The art of dyeing the hair is at
least as old as the time of Christ; it
was by reSorting to such aids to
beauty that Cleopatra tried to cap.
ture Caesar. All through history la
dies OF fashion have tried to improve
upon nature by artlticially coloring
that which St. Paul tells us is their
glory. In the heyday of Venice, the
facile beauties Of the city of the Ia
goons dyed their hair a red to which
Titan was not ashamed to at1ix 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, rage arose for bright blonde
hair, as to which there was a tradi-
tion that it had been popular with the
Greek hetair;e. Blonde heads block
ed the thoroughfares, and young la
dies 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 anburn. the blonde
cendre of the boulevards, and silly
girls 60 through martyrdom to impart
that tint to their locks. For tho
popularity Of blonde hair the argo-
naut finds this excuse, that it is
rarer than black or brown hair, and
finer. Everybody knows that the le-
gend of the golden fleece was suggest

and other Greek connoiSscurs pur-
sued the blonde haired madens of
Colchis.
Almost all hair dyes consist Of sui
phur and acetate Of lead, both of
which are injurious to so delicate Il
plant as human hair. A steady
course of either will impair the vital
ity Of the hair papilla and may deS-
troy the meduila altogether. Women
who bleach their hair use peroxide
of hydrogen, which, after a time,
imparts an unnatural and Wig-like
luster to the hair. A more danger
Gus dye still has for it's bases 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 adulterated 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
continued use of such medicaments
is to enfeeble and ultimately to rot
the root sheaths. Badness then en-
sues, and for that science has dis
covered no remedy.

How a Rubber Forest Looks.

According TO recent accounts OF the
reckless manner in which forests of
rubber trees are destroyed, india-rub-
Der will soon be much more scarce
and costly than it now is, and when
that happens it is probable that some
body will invent substitute. AT
present, however, it is interesting to
know what recent traveller says of
the india-rubber forests of Nicaragua.
"A forest of them may be detected
without the eyes of an expert, for
they are scored and dying from the
wounds of the machete, the big knife
used by the natives. The ordinary
specimen Of Nicaragua is from fifty
tosone hundred feet high, and about
two feet in diameter.
f"The bark is white and the leaves
oval, with slight inclination down
wards. The cuts are made about two
feet apart, and usually extend from the
ground to the first branch, channels
being scored in the sides to lead the
Juice into bag. The average yield
of atree is from five TO seven gallons
Of milky fluid.
.This is mixed with the juice Of
the .wisth. which hastens congela-
ton. After this operation the crude
rubber is baled up and shipped north
to be refined and further prepared
for commerce. Another tree, very
similar to the rubber tree, and often
mistaken for it, is the cow-tree.
This yields a liquid very much like
milk. in taste and appearance.

supplied with heat at a different tenn
perature. so that meat may be cook
ing in the lower and the plates kept
mildly warm in the upper. The oven
is air-jacketed and has bright in
terror surfaces, so that all the heat is
retained. A small incandescent lamp
suspended in the interior permits Of
the cook watching the cooking pro-
cess through small window OF thick,
transparent mica.
These ovens, when heated for a
quarter of an hour, carry on most
cooking operations without further
heating. They act like bakers ovens,
where the fire is applied for certain
time and then raked out, after which
the oven has to carry on the baking
for the rest of the day with the heat
contained in itself. These ovens will,
probably, be brought into more COM
mon use by the companies supplying
current, which will push their use as
the gas companies are pushing the
gas stoves.
