The dangers attendant on working under
high pressure of compressed air have long
been recognized by engineers and physi-
clans. The pressure itself is most trying
to the workman, who may suffer even
more seriously from the change from high
to normal pressure on leaving the air-lock
through which he passes in transition.
Only young men OF sound constitution
should be employed; the hours of labor
under pressure should be short; the pres
sure should be reduced very gradually in
the air-lock; the men should rest after
coming out, and hospital air-lock should
be provided, in which men may be placed
and treated with heated compressed air if
chilled, afflicted by the "bends" or .'cais-
son disease" or otherwise injured by too
sudden reduction of pressure These are
the latest and most approved maxims of
engineering authorities. A series of inter-
esting experiments as to human endur-
ance of higher pressures than are usually
employed in com pressed-air work has re-
Gently been made in the new harbor works
at Bordeaux, France, where the QUAY
foundations are being constructed by the
ompressed-air system. 1t is well known
that sponge-divers descend from $50 to 200
feet without injury, and the engineer in
charge of the harbor works therefore ar
gued that workmen should be able to en-
dure corresponding pressure under the
more favorable conditions of an air cham
per. He formed commission of doctors
to work with him in ascertaining if
men could safely sustain a pressure of

gown. The skirt is to be of the richest
black duchess satin, and the little coat is
of black velvet, over which are apparently
strewn beautiful pink roses.
A nouveaute for the table, both graceful
and fragrant, is the idea of rolling up each
dinner napkin in the fashion of days gone
by and encircling them with ring of
blossoms mounted on broad satin ribbon
of CAV color, which ties in an artistic wind
mill bow.
The art of writing graceful notes is fast
becoming a lost art and the telephone is
the reason of this, at least our literary
writers say SO.
About our theaters; how impatient we
all are to see Drew, and how critical we
will be over the gowns. The Lyceum
Company has quite spoiled us, so beautiful
were the garments worn. This week the
trusting little wife at the Baldwin has been
sweetlv pretty in lace and muslin, and at

of black velvet and jetted net, and the
little maid was fetching in her red frock
and white black-trimmed apron.

THE RESULT OF SHORT WORKING HOURS
An English manufacturer has commune
Gated to a daily paper an interesting re-
port of the result of five years experience
of the eight-hour rule in his works He
says that at first the wage-cost per ton
went up, then dropped, and is now as low
as it was in 1889, when the twelve-hour
law was in force. In other words the men
get as much work done in eight hours as
they used to get done in twelve. This is
not attributed to coincidental improve
ment in machinery or the methods of
manufacture. The managers of the work
who have considered the point are con-
WINGED that although the men work less
hours the aggregate efficiency of their
work is not diminished. This view is sup
ported by the showing of the factory
books, which record greater regularity of
attendance, increased application and i'm
proved health of the workmen. Many of
them used to be irregular and drunken.
but such cases are now rare. In the long
double shift at the end of each week the
men often used to be found asleep. Under
the new conditions this did not happen.
The men look fresher and healthier, and
the change in them is markedly shown in
the comparatively nimble and lively gait
with which they leave the works at the
end of the shift.

by diet, and DIR. Pegg, who was once an as

chief article of food, fine vocalists are
scarce, and the voice in ordinary speech
lacks delicacy of timbre and dignity. DR..
Pegg maintains that the most desirable food
for singers is of a graminivorous kind,
with occasional indulgence in moderate
quantity of meat. He disturbances the
idea that malt liquors give strength to the
voice, although they may stimulate it for
their tones fresh, rich and long should be
chary of alcohol in any form. Smoking is
not looked upon as injurious to the voice,
though if the habit is not kept well in SUBJ
lection it may affect the strength of the
vocal organs.

STATE CARE OF SCHOOL CHILDREN's
TEETH.-The degeneration of the teeth of
the children of to-day has become alarm
ing, and Canada is about to introduce
regular dental inspection of the teeth of
the children in her public schools with
view of remedying the results of neglect
on the part of parents. A movement is on
foot to make similar inspection compulsory
in the public schools of this country. DR..
Richard G. Newton has appealed to the
dental profession for suggestions as to how
the poor can be induced to preserve their
teeth. He has found that the teeth of the
very poor are almost universally bad, and
i'll most cases practically the only atten-
ton the teeth ever get is when they are
pulled out. Bad and insufficient diet
lowers the vital forces, dental carries sets
in, and with it a tendency to eschew proper
foods and seek for softer and more highly
seasoned nutriment This makes the mat
ter worse, for working people should eat
food that requires considerable mastica-
tion-so- called strong food, like the black
bread and beans upon which German peas
ants thrive SO well. DR.. Newton has found
that poor people will not go TO dentist,
even when urged to do so by their medical
adviser, because of the expense. He be-
lieves that in a few years such facilities
will be provided that the poor will be able
to have their teeth looked to gratuitously,
and he proposes that the New Jersey State
Dental Society, of which he is memb Der,
should inaugurate the movement by set
ting about the establishment of free dental
clinics for the poor.

seventy pounds per square inch. The test
chamber was fitted with windows, tele-
phone, electric light and steam coil, by
which any desired temperature could be
maintained. Three men volunteered for
the tests, one being a regular compressed
air workman, the second an occasional
workman and the third man who had
entered the working-chambe only few
times. These men were subjected to pres
sures for specified length of time, usually
about one hour. The tests were COM
menced with a pressure of about 2S.4
pounds per square inch, and increased
gradually by about 4.27 pounds per day to
1858 pounds per square inch, while the
time for the pressure reduction was in
creased about ten minutes for each LAP

men was slightly Inconvenience, and at
65.4 pounds his companion, who was not
accustomed to compressed air work, had
to be withdrawn, as he suffered from pains
in the side. The man who alone under
went the pressure of 1913 pounds suffered
no Inconvenience excepting a tingling sem
sation, which soon passed away. 1t is now
considered that if proper precautions are
taken men in good health can stand a
pressure of 1858 pounds per square inch i;
