Half Reflector Shades.

One of the most popular shades de-
gned for concentrating the main body
of the light from an incandescent lamp
in any particular direction, is a newly
patented green and white porcelain
half globe. The two sheets Of porce-
lain are flashed together, forming ap-
parently, a solid piece of material, the
outside Of which is green and the in
side white. The white surface has
great rejecting power, while the green
breaks the intensity Of the light and
tempers it agreeably for the eye. The
advantage of this shade is that it per-
mits of the instant adjustment of the
lamp, so as to give a light of soft and
subdued tone. or of the utmost brillian-
One useful modification of this i'm
proved appliance is a desk light, which,
when not in use, slides into the center
pigeon-hole of an ordinary desk. When
it is wanted the mere act of drawing
it out of it's resting place, turns on
the current. The desk cannot be shut
until the lamp has been pushed back
into the pigeon-hole, and the act of re-
turning it breaks the circuit, and SO
puts out the light. The half shade
throws the light downward, and distrib'
utes it OH the desk just where it is
needed.

An Obsolete Emery Industry.

Naxos, one Of the largest and most
famous Of the Cyclades islands OF
Greece, has from time immemorial pro-
duced emery on a large scale, but times
are changing, and unless resort is had
to scientific engineering, the glory of
the place will have fled. Two villages
have had the monopoly of emery min
ing, and have sent out daily about 600
workmen, who, in the most archaic
fashion, have set to work. The rock
has been exclusively broken up by fire,
the method being to clear a space,
pile brushwood on 1t, light a fire, and,
when the fire is dying out, throw wa
tel on the glowing rock to split it.
Under such conditions, only the :ur-
face strata could be utilized, but these
are played out, and the supply of brush
wood is played out ALSO. Experts who
have been consulted by the Grecian
government have recommended the re-
sort to systematic quarry borings, the
use of powerful explosives, wire rope
ways and other familiar appliances.
In the meantime the Naxos industry
is practically at a standstill, and other
deposits elsewhere have things all their
own way, because they are properly
handled. 1t is said that in the United
States the development of large cor
undum beds in North Carolina is doing
much to modify the state Of the indus
try.

ial fractures and cure or alleviate GER
tain diseases of the brain.


According to a lecture delivered be-
fore the Franklin institute Of Phila-
delphia by DR.. Francis Wyatt, 1,OOO,-
100000 acres are under cultivation in
this country and Europe. yielding an
average of one ton of crop per acre.
The depth Of the soil is nine inches,
and the contents in phosphates is 1000
pounds per acre, making 2,OO0,O0O,00O
tons to the whole cultivated area.
Every ton of crop takes 40 pounds of
phosphate out of the soil, so that the
LOCO, 100000 Of crop carry away TO-
900. 900 tons of phosphate every year.
Half this is possibly recovered by nat
ural processes from the farm itself and
adjacent country. But there is a yearly
deficit of 100000 900 tons and this would
entail absolute sterility of the new soil
in 200 years. Many districts are now
in such a worn-out condition, in others
the farmers have resorted to phosphate
fertilizers and hence the upgrowth of a
great modern industry. DIR. Wyatt
estimates that all sources now drawn
on only furnish about 100000 tons of
phosphate food for the soil, so that a
careful survey would indicate as steady
an improvement of the timber lands
and the coal mines, even should sup
plies of phosphate continue to be devel-
oped. The lesson is that every COM
munity has a duty to perform in re-
turning to the soil as much as possible
of the elements absorbed from it for
nutriment, and that in this respect as
well as in their drain upon the younger
rural population, the cities are in real
ity acting seriously against their best
interests. 1t is predicted that much of
future invention will lie along the lines
of creating artificial fertilizers based on
the better economy Of waste products.
New ideas are being advanced all the
time. Thus, DR.. Wyatt does not men
ton basic Stag in his list, but the pro-
portion of f%ertilizing elements in it
make it, bulk for bulk, equal to the
best superphosphates; and England is
now using from 10000 to 10000 tons
a year of it, with every prospect of
rapid increase. In the preparation of
this Stag for farm use, it is ground so
fine that S5 per cent will pass through
a sieve having 10000 holes to the
square inch.

British and Belgian iron manufacture
ers have hitherto had a monopoly
of foreign markets outside the United
States, but the recent assignment to
an American house of an order for the
cast-iron pipe for the Toxic, Japan,
water works is cause for congratulation
to protectionist and free trader alike.
The order is for 10000 tons, $4,000,
and the average is, therefore, $37 per
ton. The pipe is of Southern make,
and will be shipped from Southern
ports. There was active competition
from those who had been in control Of
such markets, and who saw what lay
behind a defeat. In pig iron alone,
Great Britain and Belgium export
about 900, 900 tons per annum, but this
trade and that in manufactured prod
ucts is what our manufacturers are
after. At the present moment there Is
great activity in the street railway field
in Cuba, Mexico and other countries
within our sphere of influence. and 1t
is said that while the capital may come
from Europe, the cars, rails, engines,
ETC., will be supplied from the United
States. The American use of struc'
tural steel in building is also having
its effects abroad, and the use of steel
in fireproof flooring is carried much
further here than anywhere else, lead
ing to an eXDort trade.

Scarcity of Pencil Wood.

1.-THE day is not far distant" remark
ed a Florida gentleman not long since,
when talking with a reporter, "whe
the term cedar pencil will become
quite a misnomer. At the present
time the average annual consumption
of lead pencils is at the rate of about
four for every man, woman and child
in the country. During the last ten
years the quantity of cedar which has
been cut in our state to supply the de-
mand of the American and German
pencil makers has been enormous, the
product of more than 1000 acres OF
ground being consumed every year.
The cedar of the state will not hold out
many years longer. against demands
of this kind, and already experiments
are being tried with other wood. Very
cheap pencils are generally made or
poplar. which answers fairly well, but
which will never be so valuable for the
purpose as the ~old-fashioned and long
tried cedar. OF course, Florida mas not
a monopoly on the supply of cedar
wood, but in adjoining states, where
some is to be found, the work of des-
truction has been going on quite as
fast as in our little commonwealth, and
I doubt very much whether any of our
children will use pencils made out OF
the most durable and most easily pol
ished and trimmed wood we know OF
at the present me."-Exchange.

Epping Forest, II of the few re-
naming stretches Of primeval wood
land in the vicinity of London, is not
alone sustaining destruction by the in
vasion of rows of jaunty modern villas,
but even the trees that remain are
becoming sophisticated and cockney.
The lichens and cryptograms once SO
common in the beautiful forest have al
most entirely disappeared, and the van
ishing is attributed to the encroach-
ment of London fog and smoke This
is not a far-fetched idea, as it is stated
that the famous hop gardens of the
County Kent, in the vicinity of Maid
stone, thirty miles away from the me-
tropolis, sometimes show the effects
of the London fog. One can readily
understand why the recent story by a
sensational novelist Of the sudden as
phyXiation of the whole 100000 of
people Of the great city, by means of a
sudden and dense fog, should have bred
a deep alarm, and have started a dis
cussion that will not down, as to pos

In a recent article on Coffee and

In a recent article on Coffee and
Cocoa, the eminent German Chemist,
Professor Stutzer, speaking of the
Dutch process of preparing Cocoa
common in Germany in which am
monia is added, says: 1.-THE only re-
suit of these processes is to make the
liquid appear turbid to the eye of the
consumer, without effecting a real so
luton of the Cocoa substances. This
artificial manipulation for the purpose
of so-called solubility is, therefore,
more or less inspired by deception,
and always takes place at the cost Of
purity, pleasant taste, useful action,
and aromatic flavor. The treatment
of Cocoa by such chemical means is
entirely Objectionable. . Cocoa
treated with potash or ammonia would
be entirely unstable but for the sup
Elementary addition of artificial fla
vors by which a poor substitute for
the aroma driven out into the air is
offered to the consumer" The delic.
ious Breakfast Cocoa made by WAL

vars are used in 1t.

A Dogs Professional Begging.

do dogs reason? Well, if that dog
does not, his instructive love Of SYM
pathy is abnormally developed" said
a gentleman on Fifth venue yesterday,
as he pointed to q woe-begOne, NANCY
looking dog that was seated in the mid
die of the pavement looking up at pass
ers-by in a pitiful manner with tears
glistening in his eyes. NOW look at
appeal for sympathy will meet with
response"
1 waited for a while, and two ladies
were about to pass the canine mendi-
cam when, with an intensified look OF
misery and an adroit shift of his posi-
ton, he brought himself where the
women must surely see him. Then,
when he was observed, the tears welled
to his Eyes as the ladies murmured,
while petting him, THE poor, dear
thing. Isn't he sad looking? Nice lit
tie dog" etc.
"Now," said my friend, that dog is
a professional beggar, although he asks
only for sympathy. I have taken some
trouble to find out something about
him, seeing him always on some one
OF the principal streets of h city
going through the same act which we
have just seer him do. He is an expert
at the business, and his n desire
seems to be to get himself noticed
He is a good enough judge of human
nature to pick out those who will give
him sympathy rather than a kick, for
although I have watched him many
times, he has never failed, where he
has tried, to bring to himself a gentle
pat, if not a kind word. He is particu
larly fond of the sympathy of charita
b%le-looking old ladies, and I have FIRE
quently seen him follow them aftel
they had passed by without noticing
him until they would give him gentl'
words. How the dog lives I don
know, nor can I find out, for nobod,
who knows him ever saw him eat
If he lives on sympathy there is som

EARN Allegiance to h ReOr-
~anfzed French Government.

Swearing Allegiance to the Reor-
xanized French Government.
The "Friends of the Constitution"
grew daily mort numerous, more pow
erful, and more radical, in Valence;
and when the great solemnlty or
swearing allegiance to the new order
was to be celebrated, that place was
chosen as a convenient and suitable
one for the convention Of twenty-five
similar associations from the neighbor-
ing districts. The meeting took place
on July 8, 1871; the official administra-
ton of the oath to the civil, military,
judicial and ecclesiastical authorities
occurred on the fourteenth. Before a
vast altar erected on the drill ground,
in the presence of all dignitaries with
cannon booming and the air resound-
ing with shouts and patriotic songs,
the officials in groups the people in
mass, swore with uplifted hands to
sustain the constitution, to obey the
National Assembly, and to die, If need
be, in defending French territory
against invasion.
Scenes as impressive and dramatic
as this occurred all over France. They
appealed powerfully to the magma
ton of the nation, and profoundly in
| fluenced public opinion. "Until then"
said Bonaparte, referring to the sol
emnity, 81 doubt not that if had re,
ceived orders to turn my guns against
the people, habit, prejudice, education
and the kings name would have in
duced me to obey. With the taking OF
the national oath it became otherwise
my instincts and my duty were hence
forth in harmony.-W. M. Sloane's

1t Is Gradually Passing to Hands
Outside the Household.
That there is money and profit in the
laundry business is apparent from the
large number of people engaged in
washing other peoples linen. There
must be many thousands Of dollars in
vested in wash-tubs, mangles, smooth
ing irons, and the like appliances. And
every few days some strange individual
undertakes or establishes a new laundry
and, as a rule, very few of these laun-
dries discontinue business. Hard times
may come and hard times may go, but
people have to wash if they expect to
be respectable. Cleanliness and crime
are not synonymous terms. Where the
one fiourishes the other dies, as a gen.
eral thing, and this may be the reason
why there are fresh demands daily for
laundries. Javelle water, bleaching
powders, and the various devices for
whitening the clothes may threaten to
destroy the income Of the citizen who
undertakes to send his clothing for
the wash outside his WI home, but,
nevertheless, the laundryman does not
appear to grow unhappy, nor does he
try to relieve matters by hanging him
self from a rafter near his own wash
tub. He uses plenty Of indigo, but he
hardly ever gets the blues, and he lives
on all unconscious of the irony of fate,
viz, that his tribe increases, and that
he will wake up on Monday morning
to the fact that there are more laun-
drymen managing clothes than there
were at last Mondays wash. The latest
rivals to the almond-eyed Celestials on
the heights are an elderly man and
woman, who look as though they had
come from the country, and way back
at that. They drive a horse that has
the appearance Of being a back number,
and when he stands still it seems to re-
mind him of his long waits in front of
the village store. He has a melancholy,
reminiscent air about his eyes as if he
had put off wearing spectacles too long
and felt sorry about it. The variety of
clothes bags in the wagon Of this an
cient, but ~neat-looking couple reminds
one of Joseph and his coat Of many
colors. There are evidently many di.
verse views to be taken Of their bust
ness. Another laundry copartnership
is that formed by a bright young Swed.
ish couple, who have a horse and wag.
on, and call for the clothes of their
customers and return their wash with
promptness and dispatch.-Brooklyr

Hix SmOkestacks for Factories.

Aside from the fact that tall chimneys
are better for the public health, by
lifting the deleterious product of com
bustion far into the upper air, it would
seem that technical considerations alone
might recommend them. But there has
been a fad lately for low chimneys in
factories, and Mr.. w. B. LIE Van eX-
presses the weighty opinion that they
are a mistake. AS to first cost, there is
no saving over a high, well proportional
chimney, and the entire drift Of manu-
featuring requirements deman Ids the
building of high chimneys so as to
enable moro fuel to be burned in a
given time and space, thus increasing
the power and output of the boilers.
A rapid draft is equivalent to a large
fre-grate area, and has the advantage
that the heat is transmitted much more
rapidly to the boiler by reason of the
higher temperature obtained. More
over, in many industries, the goods pro,
duced are liable to be spoiled by smoke
and smut permeating the lower strata
of the atmosphere.

WHAT DOES IT MEANT
Fact or Fiction About Two Greas
Fair Awards.


A newspaper paragraph denounces
Is "false" the claim of a baking pow
der company to an award at the
Worlds Fair. Whom can it mean!
Certainly not DR.. Prices. Why! Be-
cause, as the records show, DR.. Prices
exhibited, competed and received the
highest award, both at Chicago, and
the California Midwinter Fair. The
award in California included Gold
Medal. The official examiners pro
nounced it the strongest, he purest,
the most wholesome and efficient OK
all the baking powders. Its title to
confidence is unquestioned.
Can it be the manufacturers OF a
New York powder, fictitiorsly Labelled
absolutely pure" who are making
"false" claims? That would be strange
indeed, inasmuch as they were not
even considered in the awards.
Was it Ammonia in the New York
powder that prevented its makers
from competing? If not what?

The defaulting clerk Of the National
Bank Of Commerce, New York, was
caught by accident, and it would be
quite refreshing to hear of one detected
in any other way. He had gone home
early, and one Of the officers OF the bank
referred to the coupon account in order
to answer a letter Of inquiry. The de-
~falcation thus became apparent, and it
has been found to extend back twenty
years. The clerks method was to over
draw money to cash coupons and to fix
up the books to cover the fraud from
casual examination. But for the acct
dent it would probably have been con-
tirned for years.

for 1894 is the lowest in twenty years,
ony 1919 mics Of new track having
been laid, and the only exceptions in
three decades were in 1875, 1866 and
1865. When this showing is compared
with that Of 1887, in which year 10000
miles were constructed, it will be seen
that the business of railroad building
has declined more than any other form
of enterprise in the country.
