Woman as an Inventor.

It has long been%a stock argument
against the originality of the feminine
mind that, while women are excellent
in the imi tative arts, they cannot in
vent. Now the chairman of the commit
tee on women's inventions of the At
lanta exposition says that the number of
women's patents she has collected is too
large to be accommodated in the space
set apart for them. = AS. it is reasonably
to be assumed that these selected inven
tions were good ones the woman Of the
century has scored another point against
her traditional critics. - Baltimore

Philadelphia is the only city in the
world where the reedbird can be found
In state Of overrunning obesity, and
the only place where it can be cooked to
perfection. In New York the French
cooks conceal its delicate toothsomeness
in rich dressing. There they know as
little about reedbirds as they do about
terrapin. scrapple and pepper pot. There
was given in this city one dinner in
which reedbirds were served in 3 diff
ferent forms. Among the courses were
soup made from reedbirds reedbirds
stuffed with Blue Point oysters, reed
birds placed inside followed potato
and roasted reedbirds stuffed with herb
filling and baked, reedbirds steWed
with fresh mushrooms, reedbirds split
and broiled AN abominable practice, by
the way reedbirds saute, and a seem
ing pie, from which, when the crust
was lifted, two dozen reedbirds few
forth and around the room.
But, after all, there is only one way
TO cook and eat the succulent reedies-
saute Select birds which have little
clumps Of yellow fat on both sides Of
the part last over the fence. Place them
in saucepan-or, better still, chatting
dish-with plenty Of the best butter,
salt, black pepper, and a plentiful sprin-
king of paprika-the sweet Hungarian
pepper which nowadays can be found in
any first class grocery. They must not
be split and their heads must not be re-
moved. Cook them for five or six min
utes, according to the size Of the bird
and the heat Of the fire, but do not al
low the yellow fat to become Drowned.
Nothing could be simpler, and yet few,
very few, cooks can prepare the reedbird
without destroying its toothsomeness.
There is an art also in the eating Of
his daintiness, but it can only be ap-
piled to birds Of the character and pre-
pared in the manner described above.
Wiring off the head and sink your teeth
into and absorb the brains. Then hold
the little darling aloft by the protrud-
ing bones Of both legs, and slipping him
into watering mouth crunch your way
through his carcass until not a bit of him
remains but the leg bones. Then cast
your eyes above and say grace. That's
eating reedbirds, that is.-Philadelphia

Some Royal Crowns.

The CROWNS of Spain, Portugal and
Poland are all three Of the same form,
and are described by Colonel Parsons in
his genealogical Tables of Europe as
"ducal coronets heightened up with
eight arched diadems supporting a
mound, unsigned with plain gold
cross" The crowns Of Denmark and
Sweden are of almost similar shape,
consisting of the eight arched diadems,
rising from marquis coronet "a circle
Of gold bordered with ermine, set round
with four strawberry leaves and as
many pearls on pyramidical points of
equal height, alternately, which conjoin
at the top under a mound unsigned with
cross botonnee. The kings of most
other continental countries are crowned
with circles Of gold, adorned with pre-
cious stones and heightened up with
large '.-trefoils, - and closed by four, Sir
or eight diadems supporting a mound
sarnaQunted by cross. The trefoil upon
the crown is thought to be of Gothic in
PRODUCTION.
We find it upon the coins Of Clovis
and his sons, which has induced anti
quaries to call it the flower de luce''
(the lily of France represented in gold
on blue ground), but, the fact is, these
trefoils were used on Constantinopolitan
crowns before the time of the Franks,
and afterward on those of German
princes in no way allied to Charlie
magne. Aubrey, a celebrated authority
upon heraldry, was Of opinion that the
flower de luce is really nothing more
than a spearhead adorned, no flower of
the lily kind having the middle part
solid. The sultan OF Turkey bears over
his arms turban, enriched with pearls
and diamonds, under two coronets, the
first of which is made Of pyramidica]
points, heightened up with large pearls,
and the uppermost is surmounted with
crescents. Chambers Journal.

The Tree of Blood.

The most wonderful optical expert
ment known to the eye experts is that
which produces the ''blood tree," Or
1.-THE arborescent figure of Purkinje. :"
Tt is very simple and entertaining eX-
pertinent and one from which no posi-
bic harm to the eye can result. The ex-
pertinent is ali optical delusion in which
the retina of the eye and all the blood
vessels connected Herewith appear to
stand out in the air in such manner
that the experimenter has a splendid
view of them.
Pnrkinje, the great optician, acct
dentally made this discovery of the
"blood tree,' or "arborescent figure"
which bears his name several years ago,
and since his time it has been used in
thousands Of curious test experiments.
The projected image is called the
"arborescent figure" because Of its re-
Semblance to a many branohed tree and
is produced in the following manner !:
Shut yourself up in q dark room at
night and move candle or lighted
lamp back and forth very rapidly before
the eyes: After a few seconds the air
surrounding the Qppdle Yil!!l assume a
deep pink Or reddish color, which rap
idly tai es upon Itself. the appearance of
sea of blood. Over this red background
ramifying in all directions may be seen
the veins and blood vessels standing out
in bold relief. While toward the center
of the figure there appears dark trunk
like line which serves as "body'' for
your tree Of blood,'' the trunk being
most plainly visible where the optic
nerve enters the eye.
This experiment is chiefly interesting
because it proves that the parts Of the
retina which actually receive impress
sions and produce sensations must lie
behind the blood vessels, since these
cast their shadow upon it and enable
the experimenter to see them as plainly
as he does any other external object

Sand as a Filter.

It is well known that the thickness of
the layer of fine sand in iltering beds
cannot be reduced hey ond certain point
without endaugering the quality Of the
water that filters through. DR.. Kurth OF
Bremen has found in examining water
filtered through layer not sufficiently
thick that the number of bacteria was
greatly increased, owing to the presence
OF special microbe that could not be
found III the water before it entered the
litter. These microbes must therefore
have existed in the filtering material
and have been developed by the passage
OF water through it.-Exchange.

RAIRD'S TAPIR.

q Common Enough Animal That Cannot
BE Seen In Any Collection.
Still less known in this country, and
never seen, either in menageries or mu-
seums, are the two species Of tapir found
in Central America. The sleek, plump
bodied, chocolate brown tapir Of South
America we do see occasionally,
both alive and dead, but Of Baird S
tapir there is not even one adult
stuffed specimen in existence, either
in this country or in Europe. A few
skulls and skeletons and two or three
mutilated and unmountable skins are
positively all the world possesses in
representation of this species, and, what
is still worse, no naturalist has yet had
al opportunity to even write descrip-
tion Of the full grown animal! The
young animal is known to be Of red
dish brown color, marked with irregu-
lar white spots and stripes.
Our universal poverty in specimens
Of the tapir named in honor Of Professor
Baird is not due to the extreme rarity
Of the animal, but rather to a lack of
enterprise on the part Of the intelligent
white men who from time to time have
had it in their power to procure and to
preserve specimens. The animal is we'll
known in Panama, Costa RIGA, Mica
ragua, Honduras and southern Mexico.
Although tapirs are usually found
along small and we'll shaded rivers in
the hot lowlands Of the tropics, they
are frequently found on forest covered
mountains as we'll DIR. Frantzius in
forms US that in Costa RIGA Baird's
tapir is found both in the lowlands and
on the highest mountain ranges. He
says also that lit is much hunted, for
it's flesh is very delicate. The back
woodsmen salt it, Or dry it in the air,
and thus provide themselves with large
stores. Its thick hide is very useful,
= y = Tapirs are very fond Of the
salt ticks which are formed in the neigh
borhood of the numerous mineral springs

Here they are either shot with bullets

POWER or THE JAWS.


zion Of Meat Food.
According to the investi Of Dr..
Ct. y. Black. the muscular strength of
the jaws compares favorably with that
Of any part Of the body.
TO crush piece Of steak, according
to DR.. Black, a bite Of 40 to As pounds
is necessary that. is, If the proper Il, a-2
chine were SO rugged that, by seizing q
double lever between the jaws, an OBJ
ject could be lifted from the floor, 10
pound weight could be raised b. the
steak. Repeat this effort every time you
chew, and you get an idea of how much
exercise is required to eat ones dinner.
And what makes it harder still is that
most people habitually nse much more
force than is necessary in chewing their.
food. For instance, in chewing steak
whose crushing point is at 40 to rs
pounds. the persons tested by DR.. Black.
used force of 60 to 80 pound s-ffrom
10 to 40 pounds more than was neces-.
sary. All this extra force Of course is
worse than wasted, but probably the
generality of manhood will keep on
wasting strength just SO till a more sys-
tematic method Of eating is adopted.
But DIR. Black did not confine him
self to steak in his experiments. He
tested all kinds Of meat and found that
mutton chops may be crushed with an
expenditure Of IS to 40 pounds Of
strength. Broiled ham and roast beef
require the greatest amounts to so
pounds - while pork chops may be
ohewed with force of 20 to 25 pounds,
and the choicest parts Of cold boiled
tongue with 8 to 5 pounds These of
course are averages. Tough meat Of any
kind is still harder to crush-for in
stance, tough beef and mutton tested by
DR.. Black required in some cases
crushing force of 80 pounds.
The smallest pressure recorded on DR..
Blacks gauge, that Of little girl
years old, was 80 pounds This was with
her front teeth, which are not used for
the crushing processes Of mastication.
With the molars, which do the chewing,
properly SO called, she could exert force
Of IS pounds -quite enough to crush all
but the toughest parts Of toughest meats.
Several persons exceeded 100 pounds
with the front teeth, or incisors, and
900 with the molars One mana ply
stefan Of IS years-has such strength of
jaw that it must for the present remain
a mystery, for it exceeded the testing
power of the instrument. The gauge re-
gistered only 270 pounds, and when this
remarkable chewer shut his teeth on It
he closed it with no apparent effort.
HOW far above 270. pounds he could
have gone is therefore a subject for
Speculation. i:
It will be observed that the doctor
measured only the force exerted by the
jaws and not the work done by them.
This latter is really more important,
and it remains for some one, perhaps
the doctor himself in second series Of
experiments, to ascertain it.-Buffa]o
