The Young Woman Brought Over the
Jewels on Her Garter.
On the promise of seeing some
thing new, if not star tling, I accom-
panied an acquaintance to meet the
incoming steamer from Europe. My
acquaintanc had informed me that
his cousin was bringing over goods
of very great value, and I expected
that considerable trouble would be-
consumed in examining and apprais-
ing the articles. The "cousin" was
an attractive young lady and looked
rosy and healthy as she tripped down
the long plank. She had a delight
full voyage, ETC., and had been good
enough to bring only two trunks.
These were four3l, an inspector made
a hasty examination OF the contents,
saw that they were only ordinary
wearing apparel, chalked the backs,
and we started off. We went uptown
and made for a good restaurant. The
interesting small talk of travellers
filed the time until we three were
seated at a table and the order given
for luncheon. The lady sat next to
the wall. -
Il suppose everything is all right,
Julie?" asked my friend.
Eyes, indeed" she replied, smiling
triumphantly. - :,
j. IL RI promised to show this gentie-'
man something,; he said. There's
no danger that anybody will catch
on, so if you've no objectlon-''
He paused. She blushed furiously
and replied: "Well, I don't know
that care, but it's unusual"
Then she reached down toward the
floor on the side next the wall, and
of course didn't know exactly what
she did, but when her hand appeared
again it was closed over something.
She held it toward me, saying: "Open
both hands and be careful" I did
as she told me, and she laid upon my
palms a garter that fairly" biazed
with diamonds. I took one look and
whispered, ''Smuggled?" She nod
ded vigorously, while her companion
smiled approval and remarked: IL
shall keep that interesting piece of
ribbon. 1t saves me several thous-
and dollars in duties"
'There's another like it," said the
fair cousin ''But I guess I won't
take that off," The other of course,
was on the side not next to the wall.
"You have to get cab now for your
curiosity" she added. "for that
article was worn for use as well as
profit, and If I walk-well it might
come down, and that wouldn't be
pleasant.

WASHING SMOKE.
A New Method of Dealing With the
Nuisance in Cities.

A New Method of Dealing With the
Nuisance in Cities.
Washing air of it's impurities by
passing it through water screens or
through chamb bers into which water
is profusely sprayed, is we'll known
and much used process in heating
and ventilating practice. It's merits
were conclusively demonstrated
years ago, and ever since advantage
has been taken of them in large ven
tilating installations in which their
expense was warranted, and where
smoky and unclean outside atmos-
phere suggested the desirability of
submitting the air to some cleansing
process before allowing it to pass
into buildings.
1t is not surprising, therefore. says
Cassler's Magazine, that a somewhat
analogous method should have sug-
gested itself as of likely service in
dealing with the now so much dis
cussed smoke problem, and that it
should have been tried with encour-
aging results. At any rate, news
paper paragraph now going the,
rounds, tells of it's application by an
English factory owner, whose re-
peated conflicts with the local smoke
ordinance prompted experiments in
this direction, and apparently with
perfect satisfaction. According to
published description, somewhat in
definite, perhaps in few respects,
the apparatus used by him consists
OF large cast-iron tank, in which is
slotted barrel, which is filled with
perforated heaters, and the tank is
partly filed with water.
The smoke is drawn into the bar
rel from the machinery by a power
ful fan, and undergoes a scrubbing
process. The barrel rotates very
rapidly, churning up the smoke with
the water. On the top of the barrel
are several semicircular trays or
sleves, which are perforated, and
effect the purpose of further washing
the smoke. The smoke which es-
capes from the heaters is caught
again by these sieves and dashed
down again by fine spray Of water
from the beaters. The black sludge
athes chamber and thrown over into a
chute, which conveys it 10 a wooden
tank. The smoke which finally es-
capes from the machine is said to be
mparatively inoffensive, and there
is certainly good reason to believe
that this should be So :
1t is interesting to note, moreover,
that the use Of the apparatus does
not end with the cleansing of the
smoke. The black deposit gathered
by it is taken off in barrels to be
used in the manufacture of paint and
printing ink, yielding an acceptable
revenue instead of polluting the at
mosphere, and the remaining liquid
is said to have proved itself most
valuable disinfectant. Thus two
fold purpose is accomplished, either

cient to commend the process to man

Adjustable Holder for IncandesceI
Lights.

A useful incandescent 1amp-holder
has appeared, which can be adjusted
to any position. It's use will be appre-
ciated in factories, mills, draughting
rooms, banks, Offices, etc., where a
movable light is as much a necessity
as a convenience. The foundation is a
sectional ball and socket joint on q
base suited to any required position, on
ceiling, wall, floor column or corner.
Working on this joint is a tube of firm
metal, on the far end of which is a
swivel joint, which carries another
metal tube, somewhat shorter than the
first. The joint allows Of the exten-
sion and rotation of the arms in any
direction. A third joint at the base
Of the second tube enables the lamp
to be inclined at any angle. All that
is needed is to put the lamp where it
is wanted, and it stays there without
any further attention whatever. Only
a moderate force is necessary to fix the
lamp in any position.

The PhOtOSene.

A device called the photogenc, which
has been in actual use for about two
years, has just been brought prominent
ly forward by the largely increasing use
Of the accumulation, or storage battery.
The photogene is a sulphate of copper
battery, which is automatically main
tanned. By it's aid, supplemented by
clockwork mechanism, the cells form
ing a battery Of accumulators devoted
to the energising Of incandescent lamps
and even one or two arc lamps, can be
continually charged. The electromohve
force of the photogene, which gives
constantly, according to its size, from
g to II ampere, is equal to one volt
per cell. It has hitherto been employed
in supplying lamps of from 5 candle
power to Is candle power Of "a, Sc or
even up to 48 volts. Under some con
ditiens there can be no doubt that the
photogene will be a great convenience,
although it has the drawback Of cost
ing more than the dynamo for charging
purposes.

These absurdities need no refutation.
Tight lacing no doubt exists to some
extent in this country, and produces
bad results. It existed just as much
or more, thirty, sixty or a hundred
years ago. Nevertheless our eyes may
convince us that the race has not de-
generated. Indeed, English women
seem to be growing finer and taller
than ever, though their mothers were
widely addicted to tight lacing. In the
richer classes golf tennis and the aban-
donment of 'fne-ladyism'' of the bad
old type account for the superior de-
velopment of contemporaneous woman

Analyzing Beer by Electricity.

Analyzing Beer by Electricity
At certain stages in the manufacture
Of beer it is necessary to ascertain the
amount of sugar present in a given
liquid. This has hitherto been effected
by means Of chemical process. A So
luton containing copper was used, and
the proportion of copper absorbed by
the sugar gave an indication Of the
total quantity of sugar in the liquid
tested. AS the results attained were
often only approximate, and as accu-
racy is Of great commercial moment
when the quality of huge quantities Of
beer is being determined, an attempt
has been made to estimate the copper
(hence the sugar. electrolitically. Cop
per in the form of cuprous oxide is
precipitated in a beaker, the liquid is
poured in, and platinum electrodes are
introduced. The current from a bat
terry is then turned on, and a vertically
suspended platinum cylinder receives
the deposit of copper. The increase Of
weight of this cylinder gives the
amount of copper, and from this the
brewing chemist calculates the quantity
Of sugar. This method has been shown
by test analyses to be remarkably ar
