JOinting Soil Pipes.

Sanitary engineers have long had a
difficulty in making an effective joint
between the leaden soil pipes and the
stoneware of interior domestic pipes.
Red lead has been generally used to
render the joint gas-tight, but the
junction could never really be depend
ed upon as a soldered joint could be.
A London firm has at last succeeded
in soldering lead piping to stOneware
by what they call ''metallOkeramic'
joint. After the stoneware is baked it
is metallized by painting on it belt
with a composition containing plati-
mum. The metallic band is incOrpOr-
ated with the body Of the pottery by
retiring, and thus forms a basis to
which solder will firmly adhere. To
show the strength of adhesiveness
made possible by this device if the
band of lead Soldered to the pottery be
stripped off by main force the surface
of the stOneware comes off with it. A
convincing test of the staunchnesS of
the joint has been given by soldering
metal disks t. the end of the Stoneware
pipe and applying hydraulic pressure.
The pipe burst before the ends could be
forced off

KNOWLEDGE

tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet

the value to health of the pure liquid

remedy, Syrup of Fl gs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting

French cookery, seek out restaurants

Myriads of Crows Mt Niagara.

An interesting sight was witnessed by
the visitors at Niagara Falls recently.
1t was the annual migration of crows
toward the South. This usually occurs
in early winter, but this year, for some
unknown reason, it did not occur until
March /. The crows passed southwark
by the million, and for two days the
air was black with them and the noise
of their cawing almost deafening. When
they got to the falls they lit in large
numbers on the ice bridge and set up a
wild cawing. The sound echoed against
the walls of the gorge and made a
tremendous noise. When they were
rested they arose, with loud whirring
of wings, and continued their flight
Many flew into the falls and were
drowned.-Detroit Free Press.

DOOM OF THE BATH TUB.
Addition OF the Future VIII he by
Rain md Shower Bnfhn

Addition OF the Future VIII he by
Rain and Shower Baths.
The dwelling house Of the future,
constructed on scientific and hygienic
principles, will be bathtubIess. The
porcelain-lined and zinc-lined and tin
lined tubs of to-day will be unknown.
Their places will be taken by q tiled
room in which will be arranged shower
or rain baths at various angles. These
douches will supply hot, cold or tepid
water at the pleasure of the bather,
and the liquid will be carried off as
fast as 1t Is used by a spacious drain
pipe. Inc idea is not new one, but
1t Is good one, and wherever it has
been adopted the result has been graf
Tying. There are three houses in Lon
don, recently completed, supplied with
this method of bathing, and there is
said to be one in Philadelphia. 1t Is
not known whether the innovation has
been made in New York-that is,
whether there Is any private dwellings
fitted up with shower baths. There
are several fashionable houses ON Mad
1sOn and Fifth avenues that have both,
but 1t Is doubtful If there is any where
the tub has been abandoned altogether.
1t is claimed for the rain bath that it
Is In every way superior to the method
we nave known since civilization be-
gan, and this has been proven in many
public institutions. The first one ever
built in America was put in the New
York Juvenile asylum. The Demilt
dispensary has them, and so has the
bathing establishment erected by the
trustees of the Baron Hirsch fund at
Henry and Market streets. One Of the
largest rain baths in the country is
now in course of construction in the
state hospital for the insane at Utica,
and it is predicted that within a very
few years all prisons and hospitals will
have adopted the system.
The most enthusiastic advocate of
the rain bath is William Paul Gerhard,
who has made a study of it's advan-
tageS. In the first place, he says that
1t requires less space in the planning
Of bath house, it consumes less time
in application, the body Of the bath
does not come in contact with solid
water, the mechanical and tonic effects
OF the descending stream is unuuestiOn-
able, and cleansing and stimulating eff
fects are greater than a bath tub, less
water is required and no time is lost
in waiting for the filling of a tub in
houses where the supply is slow. These
are a few of the reasons advanced,
and Mr.. Gerhard bases an elaborate
argument upon them, maintaining his
position throughout with a logic that
is convincing and interesting. New

WomanIiness Defined.

For a Frenchman, an Italian, q Span
lard, womanliness in a woman means
personittcation, in every Individual
case, Of those abstract conceptions
which the feminine principle eternally
typities. On the other hand, womanli-
ness will consist, therefore. in a COLI
slant, passive charm, the human ex-
preston, as it were, Of the silent allure
n:ent which nature has made, through
out all her orders. the typical attitude
of the feminine. This, SO to put it, is
the physical characteristic. On the
other hand. wOmanlineSS will mean
divination Of mysteries not seen by
sight, nor apprehended by reason, but
conveyed to woman, inStinctively, by
her closer contact with the most sacred
and occult operations of nature, and
reacting from her upon man in the
form of an ethereal stimulant to finer
endeavOr, a vague, high promise Of
divine rewards. This is the spiritual
characteristic. The Latin is, to both
this physical and this spiritual char
aoteristic Of womanliness, more sensi-
tive than the AnglO-SaXOu. Wherefore
it happens that he respects women
both less and more than the Anglo
Saxon. The notion. of womanliness of
the Englishman, the American, is more
neutral, has less of either extreme.
The element of allurement, of charm,
does not count so much for him
whereby it chances that, from certain
aspects, his civilization is the cleaner.
The spiritual characteristic predOmin-
ates over the physical in his ideal. The
womanly woman is the good mother,
the devoted wife, the gentle sister, the
quiet guardian of the hearth-fire. Yet
she is not so much the holder Of those
mysteries of which we spoke, and thus
her position, while never so low, per-
haps, as it is possible for it to become
with the Latin peoples, is never, either,
in some sense, so high.-Aline Gorren
in Scribner.
