Popular Science.

The sting of bee, when compared
with the point of fine needle, under a
powerful microscope, is hardly discern
ible. The point of the needle appears to
be about an inch in diameter.
In an artificial way so-called electric
waves have been produced, having a
length Of about an inch, which would
give per second as many as there are
inches in 10000 miles Q1,784, $50 ,OOO).
There is no lower limit to wave
lengths in the ether. An electro-mag-
netic wave produced once a second Is
10000 miles long; wave to affect the
eye is one-fifty-thousandth of an inch
long, and soap bubble phenomena show
waves much shorter. T.
The temperature of the bottom of the
Atlantic ocean. as determined by the
resistance Of the Atlantic cables, is said
to be 38 degrees F., which is a mean for
the whole year. That at the bottom of
the Mediterranean, measured in the
same way, is said to be 81 degrees F.
A sound vibration is the to-and-fro

The air particles act upon the tympanie
membrane and cause it to move to and

There seem to be two possible ways OF
totally eradicatlng disease. One is to
destroy all the bacilli; the other is to
so strengthen the system as to enable
it successfully to resist their attacks.
Neither Of these plans can probably be
carried out fully; our safety lies in a
judicious combination Of them.

Horse.hoelnr CnmpetItIons.

At the Royal England and High
land (ScotlanO shows were conducted
horseshoeing competitions, with cart
and roadster horses. The total points
given were 40, divided as follows:-S for
taking of the old shoes, and trimming
the foot; s for making the shoes, and
their adaptability to the size Of the
horse; for fitting the shoes; for set
ting on the fore shoes; 4 for setting on
the hind shoes; 8 for general finish and
adaptability Of the shoes to the work OF
the horse. The graduation Of points
made by the competitors were as fol-
lows: In the draught horse section, 40,
SO, SO, 80, "a, 80, 30; in the roadster sec
ton the points made were 40, 80, So, "a,
80, 81. Time was not taken into ac-
count so much as excellence Of work
manship and style. Great credit is due

Dlvlng From a height.

In diving from height, say of six
feet, throw the heels we'll up, keep the
legs straight and close together and
bring the hands forward and in front
Of and above the head. The position
required is one everybody takes nat
urally in first attempting to swim. The
hands act as the prov of ship, for
they cut the water. They should,
therefore, always be turned just as you
strike the surface. This will prevent
you going deep and will also give an
impetus to carry you through the water
A good diver can dive from height of
forty to fifty feet and not go yard
below the surface, whereas the frequent
accidents along our coasts show that
carelessness In springirg from pier
into shallow water frequently results
in broken neck.

low. Like most cripples, his mind is
precocious. The bicycling craze left
him in body more hopeless and help
less than ever. A neighboring bicycle
manufacturer agreed to make wheel
which the boy could ride, and he did so.
His one hand guides the handle bar
and bars Of steel lead up from the
pedals to the short stumps which he
has known as legs. Strange to say, he
experienced very little trouble in bal
ancing the machine. He began riding
about four weeks ago, and after three
or four hours instruction and practice
he made half mile on a track in less
than three minutes. lie can now do a
mile in less than five minutes, and ex-
poets to reduce this time to four
minutes. He has already made half
mile In I'm. los. He has learned to dis
mount, and can handle his wheel readi-
ly and without assistance. He has to
be assisted, though, when he mounts,
but expects soon to be able to do so
alone. De Kalb seems to have more
than her share of bicycle riding Grip
pies. A year ago one of the young
women Of the town had leg taken off
by the cars. She now rides a bicycle
very creditably, it is said. 3'..t

An electric lighter.

The accompanying Illustration shows
an electric cigar lighter that has just
been put on the market. The device con-
sists Of a dry battery, spark coil, a
torch and spring contact points be-
tween which the torch slides. The cir
cult is broken in four places, SO that
there is little or no danger of the bat
teries being short-circuited and run
down when the lighter is not in use.
The torch contains an asbestos-packed
wick which will last indefinitely. The
torch handle is hollow and about once a
week the top is unscrewed and tea
spoonful of gasoline or spirits Is
poured in to moisten the wick. This Is
the only attention the lighter requires,
as the batteries are expected to last at
least a year with ordinary use. The
light is obtained by simply pulling the
torch from its sheath, which breaks the
circuit and causes a spark that lights
the wick. The light is extinguished by
replacing the torch in its sheath. The
cut shows a lighter made in the form
of an upright piano. The case is of
highly polished wood and the metal
trimmings are nickel-plated. This
makes a very attractive lighter for
cigar store. The dimensions of the case
are nine and half inches high, ten
inches long and six inches wide. An
,ther form Of the lighter is made for
attachment to a wall in clubs, hotels

Harmless Cosmetic,

1t has been discovered that ladies
who wish to heighten their complex
ions need no longer use paints and I'M
guents that are injurious to the skin.
Blackberry or strawberry juice rubbed
slightly on the cheeks and then washed
off with milk gives a beautiful tint"
1.-THE garden beet is also an excellent
cosmetic. The beet is cut and the juice
is applied gently with camel's-hair
brush" Country ladies will thus have
an advantage over those of town. There
will be no necessity to apply to any
Nine. Rachel, but they will do their
painting on the premises. Such aids to
beauty can hardly be called artificial.
1t is possible, however, they may be-
come dangerous in the bee season. The
enamored swain will think it only ma
tural that that persistent insect should
be attracted by such flower-like beauty.
but the lady will know better.

IA wOmas Is ssiasd and Killed, but a
Lucky shot Receivers Her Body.
From the Blackburn Times.
A correspondent at Madras gives a
graphic accouRtSof an adventure with
crocodile. He gays: AS we were pro-
ceeding in our cutter up the Jumbo
Canal (Orissa) on the 18th ult. we re-
ceived the news Of a woman having
been taken by a!mugger and On coming
to the spot we tied up and waited, in
the hope that the reptile would come to
the surface with its prey in order to
make meal, as they are unable to
feed under water. Presently there was
D subdued cry of ''Mugger hoi, SahibG'
from one of the boatmen, and the man
added that 1t lad the woman's body in
its mouth. We saw part Of its head
and back above the water and also the
arm Of it's victim protruding as it swan
along, evidently looking for place to
land. Our excitement was intense as
we carefully followed its course and
hoped for chance of shot. The croc-
odile made for the opposite bank, but
instead of going ashore it lay ON the
long grasses and reeds in about four
feet Of water, with the body in front OF
it. After waiting for some time to see
If the reptile would land and as 1t
seemed to have no intention Of doing SO,
H determined to try and get shot
at 1t. He crossed the canal some dis
tance down in a small boat and crept
stealthily along under cover Of the ca,
nal bund as near as he. dare without
disturbing the Imugger, as their sense
Of hearing is very keen. Peering over
: the top Of the blnd he could see its
eyes and the frontal bone above water,
and at this he fred There was a tre-'
rhepdous commptiOn, and the crocodile
relihquished It's prey and sank, coming
to the surface again. almost immediate1
lY. 1t was dificult to say whether the
monster had been hit, although the
cPmmotion and the. fact of Iits having
come up again at once for air led one
to think that 1t had. Unfortunately It
rose between H and the cutter, so
that it was impossible to fire again.
The men then proceeded to search, for
the body Of the woman and succeeded
in landing it, The corpse was that Of
woman about thirty years OF age. She
had not been long dead, for the blood
was Oozhig from a wound In her tenn
pies and the limbs were still limp. The
mugger had evidently dragged her away
by the arm, for that limb was fearfully
shattered and all but torn off. Other
wise the body was untouched. The face
bore terribly agOnized expression, the
teeth clenched and the features set in a
look of absolute horror. Unluckily we
were pressed for time, and could not
wait to see the result Of the shot or gel
a chance of following it up with any
more.

A Triae Mixed.

One of the most reverend ministers
who is not away on a vacation went ia
call the other day on one Of his most
esteemed parishioners. The lady, who
is very devout person, has a little
daughter of the lisping age, to whom
che has patiently taught a number Of
pious little hymns. When the minis
ter called Dotty was in the nursery be-
ing beguiIed by the nurse maid from
a crying fit by the recital of Mother
Goose" melodies Her mother sent for
her, and when the child had been
brought into the drawing room she was
made to give her unwilling hand to
the minister, and finally was coaxed
to say some of her little hymns that
mamma had taught her. Dotty thought

and private dwellings, where one or
more lighters are needed in every room.
This lighter does away with burnt
matches being thrown on the carpet or
floor and also keeps the woodwork,
tables, chairs, etc., from being
scratched. 1t is located in a convenient
place in each room, and the batteries
are placed in the cellar or some out-of
the-way corner; all the lighters being
connected on the one circuit, use the
one set Of batteries and spark-coil. This
is made Of metal and is silver-plated.

ImaslnatIve Animals.

The other week spoke Of the power
Of imagination. A friend tells me that
dogs are as much under its influence
AS men, and he has, in consequence,
discovered method by which tender
hearted man can bring. up his pup in
the way it should go without unneces-
sary suffering to either party. My
friends method is to keep in his yard
a big butter-tub and a thick stick.
When his dog has misbehaved he
chains 1t up close to the tub, gives it a
couple Of cuts with the stick, scolds it
theoretically, and then sets to work to
larrup the barrel. With every blow
that falls upon the tub the dog bowls
and struggles. By the time my friend
has worn himself out upon the barrel
the dog has received all the moral good
that could have been afforded him by
a laundering good whipping, and ia
repentant and conscience-stricken for
the next three days. In fact, the imagin-
ative animal fancies that he really has
had :. beating, and is as sorry for him
self no IL he had been half-killed. Ny
friends motto is Spare the tub and
spoil the dog" Being a kind man, he
hated the severity that is necessary to
the training of animals, and his dis
covery has removed a great burden
from his mind, He can punish his dog
and Immediately after sit down and en-
Joy his dinner-a thing that, in the old
days, could not be thought of. He tells
me that he has never found the plan
to miscarry, and he has tried 1t on
dozens of dogs-Jerome X. Jerome.
