The Deadly Candy Bar.

There Is an immense amount of nom
sense uttered in the guise of scientific
advice, and nothing more thoroughly
foolish than the perpetual attacks up
on candy and confectionery, says
Margherita Azlina Hamm. The argu-
ments are the same rs those employed
fifty years ago, when two-thirds of the
bonbons of the market were made with
terra alba and other denominations. At
the present there is scarcely a pound
of candy in the market that is not pure
and wholesome. Good candy in mod.

A House OF Tube,

A German inventor has built a
house of hollow tubes, whose advan-
tages are, he says, a constant temper
ature and incidentally strength, dura-
bility, comfort and beauty. He first
put up a frame of water tubing, al
lowing continuous circulation to a
stream of water. Around this frame
he put up his house in the ordinary
way. The popularity is that all floors
and ceilings are crossed and recrossed
by the water pipes. The water, after
passing through horizontal tubes un-
der the floors and ceilings passes
through the vertical tubes until all
have been gone through. In summer
fresh, cool water circulates under
pressure through the network of
tubes, oools off the walls, and, after
having run its course, flows off con-
siderably warmer than when it en-
tered. In its course it has absorbed
much heat, which it carries away.
During the long and severe winter the
water entering through the basement
is first heated to nearly 100 degrees
and then forced through the tubing.
OF course, much of the heat is left all
over the house, and ut the outlet the
temperature of the water is about forty
degrees. The speed of the circulation

ton. The parhelion in question was
exceedingly brilliant and was observed
by thousands of people. The sky was
hazed and presented a dull, milky ap-
pearance. The outer circles had a
radius of about thirty degrees, the sun
occupying the center of the circle.
The inner edge of the circle was red
and well defined, but the outer edge
was not so web defined. The sky
within the halo was much darker than
it was for a distance of several de.
grees without the halo. The light, as
is always the case in parhelia, was
polariZed in the direction of tangent
to the circumference, proving that
the light had suffered refraction. This

the highest prize to which metallur.

introduced the Bessemer process into
this country, and John Fritz, who de-

Amusing Admiralty Blunders.

Newfoundland, IA stock of empty bar
rels which had contained lard, wine,
and salt meat. The Colonial Cover

these "emptIes, which were rotting

5000 being paid by the Admiralty to
the owners. The barrels we're sold by

modified by the process.

The higher up the animal scale we
travel the larger amount of nitrogen
that enters into the structure of the
organism in proportion to weight or

higher the function of any tissue that

the amount of nitrogen. The bones
have the least, and the nerve structure
the most, while the brain has far more
than any other part.

Pelted by Cold Fire.

Lieutenant John p. Finley, one of
the best-informed meteorologists in
the service of the United States, tells
a wonderful story of most remark
able snowstorm which he once encoun-
tered in making the ascent of Pixies
Peak, and which, he says, could be
best described as IA "shower of cold
fire" In reality, the 'shower," as
he explained to Republic reporter,
was fall of snow, in which every
flake was so charged with electricity
as to present scene that can be bet
ter imagined than described. At first
the flakes only discharged their tiny
lights upon coming in contact with the
hair of the mule upon which the Lieu
tenant was mounted. Presently they
began coming "thicker and faster,
each flake emitting its spark as it
noiselessly sank into the drifts of the
same substance or settled upon the
clothing of the observer, or the fur OF
the beast upon which he had essayed
to make the ascent of the peak As
the storm increased in fury and the
flakes of snow became smaller each of
the icy particles appeared as a long
blaze of ghostly white light, and the
roaring produced by the electric ex.
plosions conveyed an impression Of
natures grandeur, which Mr.. Finley
declares he will never forget, When
the electric storm was at its height,
and each fake was as a streak of fire.

Says the New York Observer: The
death of John Stuart Blackie removes
one of Scotland's most interesting
characters. While loyal subject of
Her Majesty of Great Britain and Ire
land, he was pre-eminently Scotch
man, and opposed with decided earn
estness all influences calculated to ig-
more or lessen the distinction between
things English and things Scotch. His
services to his own country have been
very great; his influence for good
upon the young men who have come
in contact with him during his long
professorship is beyond computation.

The things DER which we grieved with

As stars shine most in deeper tints Of blue;
And we shall see how all Gods plans are
right,
And how what seemed reproof was love
most true.

The ashes mingling with the blood
form protecting scurf under which
the lesion heals very rapidly. This
simple and convenient method has
been practiced by the Cossaclx
peasantrY from time immemorial, and
the doctor mentions that in his own
experience of twenty-eight cases of

healed without any suppuration. He
also recommends that dirty-looking
