would require capital of $3.50, 900, 900.

The Wind Passes Along the Oily Surface

The Wind Passes Along the Oily Surface
with Reduced Power. =
A great deal has been written about
the influence of oil ON waves At sea,
and CT the practically useful action of
oil In many cases there is abundant
testimony. but little has been heard of
the reason for the results obtained,
says the Chicago Tribune. Expert
ments made In shallow, broken water
on the coast, where the wind and tide
conficted. have shown that little or no
advantage can be traced from the use
Of oil under such conditions; that Is to
say. the wave motion being disturbed
and under forces not wholly those of
wind action. the oily film becomes
broken up. In deep water. however,
where the waves may be considered as
wholly formed by the wind, their forms
are more regular, and IL Il in such cir
cumstances that the recorded exam
piles show to the best effect. These eff
fects suggest the real action Of the oil.
According TO some theories the oil acts
as IL does when applied TO bearings In
machinery. and thos the wind glides
more easily over the oiled surface than
IL does over the water surface II II
difficult 20 see. however, that the fric-
tional resistance between air and oil
should DO less than between air and
water, - the oil In less mobile fluid
that the water. Again, when we con-
slider the surface tension of fluids, and
can often observe their restraining ac-
ton on ascending air bubbles or small
floating objects In glasses Of winter. we
might suppose that by the addition OF
tho film of oil sufficient resistance was
offered TO the uprise of the upper part
of the wave, and thus the tendency TO
break would be restrained. The nc

ton When We consider the tendency
Of air 20 become saturated with watery

To Lady Emily Dixie, and has moved
her 20 make an investigation Of their
condition
The picture she draws In the Fort
nightly Review Is q gloomy one. She
concludes that the secret Of highlands
manufacturing supremacy is the cheap
labor Of women and girls. aud she Is
also OF the opinion that the results OF
setting the women and girls to work to
elre out the earnings of the head Of the
family ARE simply suicidal
IL Is no doubt true that the success ef
English manufactures depends largely
on the cheap labor Of women and girls,
and we venture to say that 10 Is TO
some extent true of every successful
manufacturing country. II Is certainly
true OF the New England states. which
are notorious for their overproduction
Of girlA
It l. not necessary 20 dwell on the
evils incident TO any industrial system
which relies mainly on such labor.
They arc apparent But the sssump-
ton that they outweigh the benefits Is
rash indeed -
The Increasing employment of
women ana girls IN production means
that through tho advance of civilixa-
ton. resulting In the invention of
highly improved machinery. work can
now be done by women that was for
merry far beyond their strength
When ono girl can operate . machine
that will do the work Of Ave fully de-
velopcd men IL isuseless to expect that
the ave men win BE- employed In place
Of tho one girl and the machine.
IL Is also illogical and short-sighted
10 look ON the improvement In machin-
cry which increases the demand for fe-
male labor a. an evil in itself.
The English or the German peasant
girl who works on the farm does much
harder and more brutalixing labor than
the girl OF the factory. Many evils A.
tcnd the employment Of girls In oper-
s.ing machines No father who can
support his daughters shouid allow
them 70 20 into . factory. The girl Is
most fortunate who can afford TO grow
rp with no other business than that OF
housewife" But as all are not SUI
premeiy fortunate IL 10 we'll 70 recog-
nize that what may seem an unmixed
evil may be really minor benefit
