Electricity In Dentistry.

By the use of an electric light in connec-
ton with the little mirror INTRODUCED into
the mouth the teeth and alveolar processes
are brilliantly illuminated and rendered
translucent. Thus anything wrong about
the teeth may be quickly discovered. Per
haps the dead tooth may be hidden in the
jaw, never having been erupted, and may
have been the obscure cause of trouble for
years. The light reveals it at once. Facial
neuralgia, by the way, is nearly always
due to a dead tooth.
Electricity is most valuable as motive
power for tooth boring tools, which,
strange to say, cause less pain the faster
they go. Most people now grown up can
recall the excruciating pain caused by the
excavating instrument which the dentist
of generation ago slowly revolved be-
tween his fingers. The "burs" now made
for such work are much finer than they
were half dozen years ago, being capable
of cutting through steel bars Further
more, the laborious method of turning
them out by hand has been superseded re-
Gently by machine which produces them
at q cost of 10 cents apiece
Electricity is employed also for pulling
teeth. To the battery are attached three
wires. Two of them have handles at the
end, while the third is attached to the for
ceps. The patient grasps the handles, the
electricity is turned on suddenly, and the
dentist simultaneously applies his forceps
to the tooth. The instant the tooth is
touched, 1t, as well as the surrounding
parts, becomes insensible to pain. A jerk,
and it is out.-Proyidence Journal.

THE BELLS IN MEMoRps TOWER.

They tell us at times in calm of the sea,
Afar from the whispering breath Of the land,
Brave sailor can hear the bells pealing free,
Which greet him with joy when he touches
the strand.
Enraptured he lists to the musical notes,
All melted to tears with pleasure they bring,
AS deep in the sky the melody floats
The bells in LIES tower, coincident ring
Fond notes Of gladness, of hope and of love,
Fror,1 childhood - -rasent thev b-inr
And beauty and bliss in the skies above,
And the hopes of youth they ringl
Likewise in desert all dreary and lone,
Bold pilgrim awakes from dreamings most
dear,
To hear the sweet chimes from infancy known
Repeat their pure promises, cadent and clear.
The sunshine ablaZe in stiffness profound
Seems waiting voice Of angels that sing,
When, startled, he heard the fairylike sound
Tho bells of the past in blessedness ring
Affair on the air, like fragrance of love,
Still follows the song angels sing,
For bells of the past, sweet Ginning above,
The pleasures of our childhood ringl
All. thus in the days that ever may come,
In calm of the sea or wilderness wild,
When exiled from JOY and comfort of home,
May music be ours that greeted the child.
May bells of the town or village peal out
Remembrance of faith to which we can cling,
So conquering dread and desolate doubt,
While ever of hope and beauty they ring
For thoughts Of the past are flowers divine,
That await us, we trust, in spring.
So, when calm Of sea or desert shall shine,
May the bells of memory ringl

Rope Betting.

The transmission of power by ropes has
been largely resorted to in England, the
preference being given to what is known
as the Lambeth cotton rope, which is made
Of four strands, the center or core of each
strand being punched and slightly twist
ed, the outside Of the strand having GOV.
ering of yarns that are firmly twisted. The
four strands are further laid with core
in the center to form a rope and twisted
in the same as any four stranded rope. In
this way rope is formed possessing ex
treme hexibility, and the fibers will moi
break by bending on each other when run
on pulleys, the rope also standing elonga-
ton or stretching some IL inches in q
length of 80 inches before breaking. The
cost of this kind of rope is but one-ffth
that of the best oak tanned leather betting
that is, the rope to develop given
amount Of power costs only one-1fth as
much as the best quality of betting to dc
the same work. The life of such rope is
said to be from 10 to IA years, or if run
on pulleys properly grooved and of suitable
size it will last much longer, larger pulleyf
giving much better results than smaller
ones. 1t is urged that the reason why the
English system of rope transmission has
not been developed to greater extent in
other countries is the Inadequate under.

A lively Time In the Water.

Frenchman. He was walking in the coun-

questioned the truth of the animals sa-

on his favorite, gave his friend push and

Immediately sprang in, and Selling one OF

Unfortunately another Newfoundland,
trotting along the opposite side Of the riv'
er, saw the affair and also came to the
rescue. Dog No 2 seized the other tail Of
the coat and wished to swim back to his
master Turk held fast and struggled fol
his side, and the owner of the coat cried
In vain for help.

The Caricature Plant,

The Brazilian flower known as the 'run-
ming antelope" is so called because its
white petals have a series Of well defined,
dark colored lines and dots in which the
imagination can readily trace the form of
an antelope, with its limbs outstretched
and head thrown back, seemingly fleeing
for it's life. In the 'caricature plant one
species has the initiative form on the pet
ais; another has it outlined in the ribs
and shading of the ribs. This last men
toned curiosity bears a remarkably well
executed likeness of the Duke of Yelling
ton and has on that account been named
Arthur and His Nose. Among the orchids
the initiative form is entirely different in
character, being exhibited in the shape Of
the flower itself. Some are exact counter
feits of bees, butterflies, moths ETC., while
others take upon themselves the form Of
worms and beetles. Naturalists believe
that in the first instance it is natures trap
to lure other bees, moths and butterflies,
but in the case of the worm and beetle or
chids or those that are exact counterparts
of toads, lizards and huge spiders they do
not attempt to experimentation and

Have you ever noticed said a st.
Louisan yesterday, those massive iron
pillars now standing erect iu the base
ment of the new Planters HousoT Well,
did you ever stop to think of the i'm
mense weight they viii he compelled to
support steadily for many, many years?
Oh, You have. But | suppose YOU have
thought the manufacturer just made
those pillars and sold them without
knowing anything about now much
weight they would bear or how long
they would bear it. Let me tell you
about that.
"Those pillars are cast in the same
manner as cast iron stoves--by running
the liquid metal into sand m3lds, but
alonside Of each pillar is cast an iron bar
from the same metal. The bar is pre-
cisely an inch square and 81 feet in
length. When cold. it is subjected to a
very simple test. Each end of the bar
is placed upon table and weights are
suspended from the center by a rope. II
must bear tensile strength of SOC
pounds to the square inch. The test may
begin with 400 pounds and be gradually
increased until the bar is found to be
perfectly supporting the required weight.
If it breaks, for instance. at 4SO or 49C
pounds, then the pillar cast from the pot
of metal which cast the bar is discarded,
broken up and put into the pot again
with more pig iron added. The pillars
you know, are largely made from SCRAP
iron, and the manufacturers cannot know
| the strength of the cast until it is tested

failure brings the cast up to the stand
