If there is one position in which the av-
erage woman does not shine with dazzling
brilliancy, it is at n hotel or restaurant
dining table. At her home she may be
the most self possessed and charming of
hostesses, but let her undertake to act in
that capacity in restaurant and she be-
comes awkward i'll at ease and uncom-
Portable.
In the first place she generally steers
straight for the least desirable spot in the
room. After she has sunk breathlessly
into the chair nearest the steam radiator
or directly in the draft, she nervously
scans the bill of fare. If she were giving
a luncheon at her own home, she would,
of course have ordered the daintiest repast
her Judgment dictated, without consult
ing her guests. But when she gets some
unfortunate woman opposite her at a hotel
table the burden of choice is promptly
shifted to her.
When, after long and patient study and
many changes of mind, the luncheon has
been decided upon, the order is given in a
way which would excuse murder on the
walters part. (Which did you say you d
have, Emma?" asks one, baked or French
fried sweets-oh, yes, we decided on white
potatoes au gratin after all, didn't we?
Bring us some potatoes au gratin, please, :"
and so on, until the waiter is distracted.
OF course he gets somewhat mixed, and
then he is scolded. Finally, when the re-
past is safely over and he has helped both
women into their wraps, picked up their
gloves and handkerchiefs and found their
umbrellas, the hostess gives him nickel 4,
telling her friend at the same time that
he doesn't deserve it, for the service was
outrageous.-S Louis Post-Dispatch.

The ermiLs is a queer animal. 1t is one
thing in winter and another thing in sum
mer. That is a strange statement, but 1t
is true, for in winter the animals fur is
as white as snow and is called the ermine
In summer its fur turns reddish brown on
the upper part of the body and light yell
low on the lower part The animal is then
known as the stoat.
This change is quite familiar to natu-
ralists, but not to unscientific people, and
the ermine and the stoat are, therefore,
generally regarded as distinct animals.
The fur Of the ermine is much valued
and is in great request. At one time it
was mark Of great royalty, and the state
robes Of judges and magistrates were lined
with it as an emblem of purity.
The ermine is so cunning in its ways
that it is almost as difficult to catch rs it
is to "catch weasel asleep" In fact,
about the only way to capture it is to
mark its course from its home and then
strew mud in its pathway. When the
dainty, fastidious little animal reaches
the point in its path where the mud is
strewn, it will lie down and subject itself
to capture aud death rather than nirCh
one of its snow white hairs.-Philadel.

The day of aerial navigation Is at hand.
Persons now living will see travel in the
air as common as it is now on land and
water. The writer of this prepared the
first comprehensive article on electric light
inr published in any Pittsburg newspa-
per and well remembers the confident as
sertions at the time that electricity could
not be used for light except in very crude
way, that it would never do for dwellings
That was only few years ago, but it is
already ancient history.
He published the first article on the ca
BILE railways which appeared in this city
a summary of description and cost as Civ
en- by an agent trying to introduce the s-s-
TEN at Cincinnati. These things, which
would have been wonders in his boyhood,
are commonplace now. Aerial navigation
will be commonplace before many years
have passed. To the numerous short arti-
cles on this subject which have appeared
this one is added to show the progress
made toward the new means of passenger
and freight traffic.
TO begin with, a reference to Professor
Langley's recent paper on the internal
work of the wind. He found that in a
wind of 90 miles an hour there were fluc-
tuations ranging from 10 TO 35 miles at in
teryals Of only 20 seconds. From this he
argued a condition of the wind involving
upward and backward currents, and these,
he believed, explained why birds can rise
and circle about without moving wing.
From this he proceeds to show how an
inclined plane, heavier than the air, may
rise and be sustained in motion in the
teeth of the wind by utilization of this
internal work. Such a plane, capable OF
changing its inclination, will gain energy
/ by falling and expend it by rising. All
that it would need of power would be
such as is necessary to carry it over the
region of calm. For the rest it could de
pend on the internal work of the wind anl
on rising and falling. Pittsburg Times.

The question is often asked, "Will an
object thrown into the air-either from
the hand, volcano, or even when shot
from rifle or cannon-return TO the earth
with the same initial velocity with which
it lefts" The answer is, A projectile
thrown vertically upward into the air will
return with velocity less than the mi
tial. The word less is emphasized because
this view of the matter Is contrary to the
one generally accepted. In the air the &c
celebrating force which acts during the de-
scent is not equal to the retarding force
during ascent. The retarding force is the
same for the weight of the projectile and
the atmospheric resistance-both acting
in the same direction. In the descent the
accelerating force is the di Inference of these
two since they act in opposite directions
In IA vacuum it would be different In that
case, the weight of the projeotile being
the only force acting, this force would gem
crate in each foot of the ball exactly the
same amount of velocity that il had lost
in its passage upward. Thus the final
would find it with speed equal TO its in
itial velocity.-St. Louis Republic.

The SENSE OF HEARING.


In Delicate Perception the Ear Is Moro
Wonderful Than the Eye.
The ear IL wonderfully comprehensive
instrument. As compared with the eye,
IL IA vastly superior In extent Of the sensa-
tions it is capable Of experiencing. The eye
possesses barely an octave and half OF
sensations, whereas the average ear, as we
know, has range of six or seven, while
more acute ears have compass of fully
II octaves. And then the ear Is won
derfully accurate instrument and capable
Of approaching minute differences that
would be wholly impossible in the case of
the eve. According to DR.. w. II. stone,
"an architect or craftsman who between
two lines neither parallel nor in one plane,
made an error of estimation by eye not
exceeding one-thirticth would gain credit
for unusual precision. But in the ear one
thirtieth amounts to quarter of tone,
and by ear oue-forty -fifth IL easily deter.
mined" A skillful pianoforte tuner can
do much more. He is called upon, for in
stance, to distinguish between a true and
an equally tempered fifth, where the diff
ference il only the hundredth of tone. He
should accordingly be able to recognize ut
least 600 different sounds in an octave.
More than this, according to the investi-
cations of Professor Mayer, it is possible,
under specially favorable conditions and
for sounds whose pitch is near that of C3,
to distinguish from each other notes which
do not differ by more than a one hundred
and twentieth of a seminole.
In the rapdity of its appreciation the
ear is remarkable In fraction of II sec
ond it can accurately refer any note to its
place in the scale and can just as easily
and quickly separate from each other sew
eral widely different notes. According to
recent investigations, the ear is capable of
/ hearing sound when only two vibrations
are made IL should therefore hear the
middle notes of the pianoforte in the two
or three hundredth part of n second. 1t
requires more time, however, for the ear
to distinguish the full characteristic of a
note. To do this, according to the expert
meIts of EXner, Auerbach and Kohl
rausch, from to 90 vibrations are neces-
sary.
With proper training and practice the
organ of hearing can be rendered remarka-
bly, sensitive and accurate There is rare
ly any physical defect in the ear itself. The
defects ordinarily noticed and spoken of
are such as can be easily remedied by cul-
tivation. The organ truly may never be
able to retain the remarkable range of
addition we have spoken of above; it may
never become so "apprehensive and dis
criminant" as the ear of Mozart, but its
delicacy can be increased and its general
appreciation of musical sounds wonder
fully improved. This is especially true II
