What Is the Outlook for an I'm

Last winter was long and severe.
Will the summer in its turn be uncom-
mCaly hot and trying? Men ask each
other this question as they gather
around the thermometers, and wonder
if the sun is going to. break the rec
ord. Weather cranks, like jealous peo-
pie, are always looking for informa-
ton that will make them Wretcned.

keeps up the vital force, acts upon the
organs of eXcretion, so that waste

The men who fail to pay their hotel
Dill either because they are profession
al dead beats" or find hotel proprie-
tors the easiest to hang up, until
convenient season for payment now
have to reckon with new force which
compels them to settle or stay away
from hotels entirely
This new force is known as the Hotel
Mems Confidential agency 1t was
started several months ago. with a few
subscribers In nearly every city in the
Union. Its scope has broadened out
and taken in such a large number of
hotels since then that the hotel men
have now obtained control of the
agency, and own it almost entirely.
The mode of procedure Is the issuing
of bulletins once or twice week, con-
tanning the names. addresses, occupa-
ton and description of those persons
who owe hotel bills. These debtors are
reported to the agency by subscriber,
and the information is sent by means
of the bulletins to. all the other sub
scribers. The result has been so sat

men now reporting that hotel men be-
Heve that, If the several thousand ho-
tells in the United States join the
agency the saving to each hotel pro-
prietor will be hundreds of dollars an

and general manager of the institu-
ton, said in regard to its mode of pro-

was a gentleman coming from a West-

ernor of the state. When the bill was
presented he had no money, and asked
for time. The hotel proprietor did not
want to insist upon immediate nav

friends frequently stopped with him!I
The result was that the fellow rez

well-known and ofttimes wealthy poll

knowing full well that they will have
to hang up their bills. The manage
ment feel about these cases very much
as they did concerning the brother of a
governor. and allow them to remain
rather than offend many possible fu-
ture guests who will pay
"Our system provides a way of get
ting rid of these fellows without so
badly injuring their feelings as to put
them out. All the hotel man has to do
is to show them copy of one of our
bulletins, containing their names as
already owing bills in another hotel"

KITE FLYING.
Old Glory UnfurIed High Up in

Old Glory UnfurIed High Up in
the Clouds.
New York Correspondence Pittsburg
Dispatch.
The man who flung the stars and
stripes to the winds of heaven at the
altitude of $500 feet at the dedica-
ton of the Washington arch Saturday
was Gilbert F. Wogiom, jeweler.
He is, he says, student of aero
dynamics.
The line that held the flag was
suspended from six kites. The peo-
pie who cheered and got themselves
into a Fourth of July spirit saw only
four kites. That was because one OF
the kites was blue and was literally
out of sight in the sky.
A second kite struck a stratum of
wind that carried it away from the
others, so that it did not attract at
ention. Mr. Woglom, Prof. W. E.
Eddy and Capt. Isaac Cole, and old
sea dog, went up into the tower Of the
Judson apartment house at p. m.
Saturday. Mr.. Woglom owns about
sixty kites. Each one has its mama,
and judging by their names some are
male kites and some female. He took
six kites into the tower with him,
all stretched on light but strong
frames of spruce wood and braced
with copper wire The length and
breadth of each kite was exactly
equal.
The wind ait first was blowing at
about thirteen miles an hour. The
three experts on kites first sent up one
covered with red china silk and is
forty-two inches long and broad.
After numerous experiments Mr..
Woglom has concluded that china silk
is the best covering for kite. The
next best is tough rope MANILA paper.
To this one was fastened the main
kite line The only difficulty was in
raising it. AT last she was caught in
a steady current of air, and aloft she
scared At a certain distance away
another kite was attached to the main
line by a whip line. This one, of white
China silk, was 46 inches long. Then
the sky-blue one, which is so inches
long, was sent up in exactly the same
manner; then one 80 inches long and
covered with buff colored rope ma
nilla peper; then one Sc inches long,
and then one SO inches long.
When the six were straining at the
main line Mr.. Woglom tested their
pull with scales such as icemen use,
and found that they had pull of 16
pounds.
The flag was Of bunting, eight feet
long, and, with its staff, weighed one
and five-eigths pounds. The top Of the
staff was securely fastened to the main
kite line; the bottom of the staff swung
loose, save that piece of stout twine
long enough to keep the staff at
constant perpendicular was extended
between it and the main line. Up ran
the flag, unfurled itself and stood out
stiff as board, radiant and beautiful,
sun-kissed, glorious.
This kite-fying is an unexplored
field" said Mr.. Woglom today. ITS a
most Fascinating study. But I don't
believe in flying machines, at least as
the winds are now understood"

Curious Defenses for tue Island of
Malta. 4 RI.

Malta. r.
The most wonderful cannon on rec
ord are those which are described by
Brydone, whose travels in Sicily and
Malta won well deserved renown to-
ward the end of the last century.
Many facts and stories he recounts
that seem, strangely old-world to US.
though the date is little more than 100
years ago, SO grandly did the French
revolution transform Europe.
Malta was full of wonders more or
less droll while the knights held 1t,
but nothing equaled the stone guns.
Everybody knows that the fortiflca-
tions were cut out of solid rock, but
Brydone was right in saying that
kind of ordnance used to defend them
was unknown to all the world besides.
AS we understand his description, the
knights left a great block of stone
where they followed out an embraSure
in the cliff, which afterward they
shaped and bored in the form of a
gigantic mortar These engines con-
tanned whole barrel of gun powder.
That shoveled in, they plugged it with
a great piece of wood, fitted exactly
to the bore as a wadding, and loaded
up with cannon balls, shells and other
deadly materials.
About fifty of these remarkable guns
commanded the spots which hostile
ship was most likely to approach.
'"The mouths of some are six feet
wide and they are able to throw TO-
600 pounds weight of balls or stones. y
The range is not stated, but the fall

800 square yards.

mately divide the peninsula into a
series of small islands, similar to
Plum, Little Gull and Great Gull llislands,
all of which were doubtless once part
of the mainland and were cut off by
the rise of the sea. The village of
Orient is situated in a particularly
narrow and low portion of the penin-
sula, and the next serious inroad of
the ocean will probably occur there.
In that case 2,OO0 acres of land and a

SANDPAPER.
Powdered Glass Used in Its Manu-
facture Instead of Sand.

facture Instead OF SAND.
Philadelphia Inquirer.
Sandpaper as now made is false to
its name for it has no sand about 1t,
the place of that material being now
taken usually by powdered Sl~6j, Wnlch
does it's work with vastly greater ef-
| feet.
One of the most important operations
in the fabrication of sandpaper is the
pulverization of the glass into powder
of the different grades of fineness.
Commonly an iron mortar is used for
this purpose, a heavy iron pestle pS1ng
the crushing instrument. Stamping
machinery is better. 1t consists OF a
stout box whose iron side walls serve
as a base for the stamping macainery.
In the box. which can be closed by
wooden. door to prevent waste OF ma
teriaI and also injury to the workman,
are two iron cylinders in which play
the stamps. These crush the glass,
turning on their own axles as they
work.
For grading the powder several sift-
ing cylinders are necessary, covered
with gauze of different mesh. Begin
ming with the coarsest, the workman
proceeds gradually to the finest, re-
sitting each time that which passes
through the network.
The paper to be used in the manu-
facture must be good, sir ng, and rather
Iong-fbered, it must also be free from

be any such they must be planed off.
| If they should be overlooked they
would interfere with the proper use
of the sandpaper; the knots would
protrude through the glue, and little
ridges and channels would result,
making it impossible to smooth off a
surface evenly with the paper.
The paper is cut into large sheets,
spread on work tables, fastened down,
and then painted by means of large
brush, with a thin, even coat of hot
glue If the glue is too thin and the
paper of bad quality, the glue soaks
into the paper, so that which re-
mains is not sufficient consistency to
hold the glass. THUS results a sand
paper from which the glass easily
rubs off, or which, in places, has
no glass at all, or not enough. This
is notably the case with the coarser
varieties, in which the layer of glue
must be put on with exceeding care
that the relatively large fragments Of
glass, which can in no manner be
soaked with the binding material, may
be held fast in it. On the other
hand, if the layer of glue is too thick
or the consistence too viscous, the
outer art hardens too quickly, so
| that the glass powder cannot imbed
itself in it.
When the glue has been spread on
the paper the powdered glass must
be sifted on through an appropriate
sieve. This operation also requires
considerable skill, though not SO much
as the spreading of the glue. For the
glass must not be sifted merely in
such a manner as to use a given
quantity to Sheet, but so that each
sheet may be covered evenly. Even
| then all the powder will not stick,
and some of the particles lie upon
others without touching the glue;
these can be shaken off by slight
movement of the paper. When the
superfuous glass powder has been re-
moved a wooden roller is passed light
ly over the paper to press the particles
of glass as firmly as possible into the
glue and to form a perfectly even
| surface.

Handsome Billy" Currie cannot be
found. He disappeared from his rooms
On Saturday last and has not been seen
since. This is all on account of one
Frank McKee's jokes. In Mr.. Hoyt's
new play, Caroline Miskel," Hoyt
slays a New Woman, and Mr.. Currie,
who plays her opposite, is supposed
to be as effeminate as she is mannish.
One of the salient features of Mr..
Currie's beauty is his auburn mus
tache, and without that, so far as
looks are concerned, he would not be
"ace high" In the new play, so Man
ager Mckee says, Mr.. Currie will
have to shave off his muStache, and
this has broken the actors heart.
Every morning for a week Mr.. Cur
rie has been awakened by barber
with his tools, who said he had been
sent by Mr.. Mckee to shave off Cur
rie's mustache. Currie would shout
ter would depart. Last Wednesday
Mr.. Mckee sent Richard HarloWe's
dressmaker up to measure Mr.. Currie
for a costume for the new play. Cur
rie sent word that he would resign
before playing such a part, but this
did no good.
On Saturday morning a boy left a
red Mother Hubbard at Mr.. Currie's
apartments and told him to try it on
and to send word to Mr.. Mckee if
it was satisfactory. Currie threw the
boy and the dress downstairs, ran out
of the house and has not been seen
since.
