Risked HIS Life for Science.

Once again legend of romance has been
torn to shreds at the hands Of science and
demolished by the wink of the cameras shut

coast, one of the narrowing subjects of the
school ofromanticists and taletelers exists
no longer as regards the horrors that have
been painted of it by imaginative pens. A
daring Frenchman skinned across its sur
face the other day in basket that swung 100
feet below the car of balloon, and suspend
ed 'twixt heaven and the torrent, uncon.
cernedly took instantaneous photographs of
the whrlpool's reething waves. He found
that after all, the maelstrom was not the
ir ghtfal watery sbyss that tradition and
folklore had been d-picting il for centuries.
Down in his little basket, oscillatipg to and
fro, almost within reach of the slapping
waves, he felt no fear There in a spot
where no mortal man had ever been before

The Corn Stalk as a Defense.

The New York World says: THE Amer
icsn corn stalk has served its native land
nobly and WELL 1t furnished the food on
which our forefathers fought and toiled to
conquer the continent and build the nation
Il furnishes still the basis OF every favorable
balauce Of trade. Now it promises to fur
nish also an effective armor for the defense
of the land of its nativity in war. Every
battle-ship and cruiser is provided with two
skins. Between them is packed mass Of
cocoa cellulose. This is substance which,
when penetrated by shot or shell, closes up
the bole made and refuses 10 let water
through. Unfortunately it is not trust
worthy. 1t readily deteriorates, so that it
cannot be relied upon TO perform its func-
tions with certainty. It is readily combus-
tiOle, also, and is, therefore, almost as much
a source of danger as source of safety.
Now comes an American inventor with
much better substance made from the pith
of the cornstalk. Experiments already made
show that it is effective where the cocoa eel
lulose fails; that even when FIVE shots are
driven through it in circle of only four
iuches radius, water under heavy pressure
refuses to follow them. Its found also that
the new material is very light where the old
was heavy, that it is incom bustible and that
II does not deteriOrate i'm use
The Navy Department has ordered fur
ther and final experiments with it, and il

gone before, cornstalk padding will be used
to make all of our Warships unsuitable"

one Mans Opinion O. The DacOIIity Girl

a dacollity dress is one worn chiefly on
the carpet. For the rest, it consists of a
good complexion. In my researches for
a respectable reason for its use, | found
that all the excuses not imported from
Dahomey were cut as low in the neck as
the dresses. The civilized theory of dress
is, that it is for the benefit of the person
of the wearer. The savage idea seems TO
be that it is something worn for other
persons to gaze at hence tatooing the
face, or boring an awl.hole through the
nose and hanging brass ring thereon.-
The low necked dress seems to be built
on the savage rather than the civilized
theory. II it were simply matter Of
economy, good looks and health, ladies
might go bare-footed, instead of bare
lunged, and hang their shoes around their
necks.
The low-necked dress always reminds
me of peacock with its tail spead out for
admiration. The presumption is against
the head. do not know what better to
call it than modesty at half-mast. Eve
clothed herself with fig leaves as soon as
her attention was called to the fact
that a naked complexion was little
bit ganzy. Fortunately there were no
female dressmakers in her day, and 80 a
whole leaf was used, and possibly more.
Modern dressmakers could have cut sever
al fuLdress bodces out of one leaf, aud
had crazy-quilt patches to spare.
1t is urged that Difference to the tastes
of the opposite sex is responsible for low
necked dresses. wish somebody would
be kind enough to refer me to the chapter
and page Who is the Christopher Col
umbus entitled to the honor of the dis.
covery of all this Difference? Who will
quote an interview between fashionable
dressmaker and any of the husbands or
fathers or brothers, in Difference to whose
