some time that air of supreme exclu-
siveness that challenges the observer
to keep at respectful distance, as
plainly as if, instead of embroidered
and sequined, each voluminous sleeve
were lettered with "Touch me not !"
"Stand OFF, "Beware!'
In view of this there is something
almost pathetic in the meek little
shoulder cape shown in the sketch,
which the oracles of fashion say is ga
forerunner of the coming mode" 1t
looks like very trumpet, forsooth,
to herald the news all over the world
that the inflated balloon sleeves are
gradually and genteely disappearing.
They are not going in undue haste,
but this quaint sleeve is indicative
that the tremendous sleeves that have
made wider breach between men and
women and impeded mans daily pro-
gress more than the insistent sister
hood who are demanding enfranchise-
ment will gracefully disappear. BY
the way. this is an admirable pattern
for a lean, unshapely arm. If the
shoulder is not defective in lines and
the upper arm is, the fulness above the
elbow is Just the one thing needed to
disguise the lack of harmonious pro-
portions from an unsympathetic world.

Metal as a Building Material.

1t is we'll within the memory o.
many persons when metal as build
ing material was practically unknown,
says the Philadelphia Record. But
within few years building has been
almost revolutionized by the use of
metal in various forms and for various
purposes. Iron beams, columns, gir-
ders, rafters and window sashes have
come into use, and now We are to
have as regular addition to our list
a great variety of stamped-out Sec
tions. These have heretofore been
made mostly out of galvanized iron
or some composition of the spelter
sort, or, in fine and high-priced work
bronze has been employed. Steel lie,
however, found to answer all demands
far better than any other metal used
for this purpose. Door and window
castings will be made of metal, and,
indeed, almost all partsof house
may be constructed of something be-
sides wood. With paper-pulp doors
and floors, metal frames and finish,
slate or tin roofs, and Portland ce-
ment or concrets walls, our houses
may in time come to be actually fire.

A patent is writing granted by q
sovereign power, which secures to an
inventor for a term of years the ex-
elusive right to his invention. A
United States patent grants to the in
ventor a monopoly of his invention
for term of seventeen years, and If
this term does not grant to him O
sufficient opportunity for remunera-
ton the term may be extended by
special act.
The prime object of a patent system
is to foster and promote the inventive
faculties OF Nation. Beyond and
above this is a utilitarian purpose. 1t
is that after the inventor has been
granted a monopoly of his invention
for limited period, during which he
is supposed to take advantage of the
opportunity to reward himself for his
labors, the invention becomes public
property and the people at large are
thereby benefited.
Any attempt to thwart these funda-
mental principles, if successful, works
harm not only in the special case in
which it is made, but initiates against
the whole system by setting up an ex-
ample which encourages other such
attempts.--Electrical Review.

Production of Sounds BY Insects.

While the notes of insects are
among the loudest, and popularly
supposed to proceed from the mouth,
they are, in fact, instrumental-iD
other words, are produced by yarious
musical instruments with which ma.
ture has endowed them, and yet
which, to some extent, correspond to
the voice of other animals, the sounds
and calls being answered by others of
their kind. When the grasshopper
wishes to. hail some companion or talk
to its fellow over the fence, it simply
rubs its thigh against the forewings,
or plays upon veritable fiddle. If
the leg of the musician be examined
under q microscope, ridge of very
fine teeth 1.-THE sound producers) will
be seen.
The loudest players are the locusts,
which often make the woods resound
with their calls. Sometimes all are
playing or chattering at once; again,
there will be a lull il the conversation
then one will begin, the note will be
taken up by another, and finally
volume of sound will blend and fill
the air.
In the former case we had fiddler,
but here the musician is drummer,
as We may ascertain by examining the
locust. The base of the anterior wing
is transparent, forming regular
drum, with which the males produce
their calls; and as there are many
different species, 30 there are many
different calls, and some, it is said,
have certain calls for night and others
for the daytime.
The cicada, by using a drum at the
base Of the abdomen, produces a re-
markable sound, sufficient even to
frighten off an enemy, yet big wasp
will sometimes carry off big cicada
despite the "zeeing" and drumming
of the victim.
The notes of the katydid are per.
haps as familiar as any, and have a
certain fascination, the sounds taking
on various infections and meanings.
They are produced through the rub.
bing of the inner surface of the hind
legs against the outer surface of the
front wings-through fiddling, in fact.
When the male cricket sings on the
hearth, it raises it's forewlngs and
scrapes them against its hind ones.
Even the butterfly makes a sound
audible at some distance, certain
species having been heard to produce
clicking sound.-ScientiGc Amer.

Our Lighthouses,

The lighthouses of the world num-
her more than 1000. The United
States has over 1900 houses and as
many posts. The latter are simpler
in construction and not very expen-
sive, since they are maintained on
shore. Our Government has been
proceeding with the theory that the
coast should be so sprinkled with
lights that the rays meet and pass
that vessel will meet the one in ad-
vance before the one in the rear is out
of sight. The annual appropriation
for their keeping is now nearly $4,-
100000.
Kerosene oil is that which has been
adopted by the Lighthouse Board as
the luminant, though gas, and, to a
limited extent, electricity, have been
given trial. Gas is being used only
at Alexandria, Va, and Newburyport,
Mass. Kerosene is considered the
best and the cheapest. It is ever re-
liable. Electricity will no doubt be
adopted when Congress can be pre-
vailed upon to appropriate money

Electricity Generated in His Mouth.

A curious case has just been re-
corded in which an electric current
was found to be generated by a pair
of artificial teeth. A patient con-
suited his doctor on account of se.
we're pain in his tongue. But the suf-
ferer was assured that there was moth
ing the matter. He then paid visit
to his dentist, VINO informed him that
his teeth were perfectly sound. Be-
ing, however, dissatisfied he called
upon an electrician he knew and asked
him if it were possible he could have
any electricity in his mouth. On e1-
amining the teeth his friend found
that two metals were used to fix them
to a composition plate. To these
metal wires were then attached and
connected to galvanometer. Then
the teeth were replaced in the pa
TENTS mouth and the metals moist
ened with seliva. No sooner was this
done than the galvanometer showed
quite large current from so small q
source-enough, it is stated to cause
liberation and severe pain when long

ACUTE DYSPEPSIA.
YNIPATHETIC HEART DISEASE OFTEN
ATTENDS 1T.

The Modern Treatment Consists in Re-
moving the Cause.
(Fron, the Republican,, Cedar Rapids. Io,ca).
Mrs. Y. Curley, who has resided in Clarence,
Iowa, for the past twenty-five years, tells an
interesting story of what she considers rescue
from premature death. Her narrative is as
follows:
'For ten years prior to 1894, was con-
stant sufferer from acute stomach trouble. l
had all the manifold symptoms OF acute dys-
pepsia, and at times other troubles were pres
ent in complication-I did not know what it
was to enjoy meal. No matter how careful
I might be as to the quality, quantity and
preparation of my food, distress always fol-
lowed eating. I was despondent and blue.
Almost to the point OF insanity ut times, and
would have been glad to die. Often and
often l could not sleep. Sympathetic heart
trouble set in and time and again was OBJ
liged to call doctor in the night to relieve
sudden attacks of suffocation which would
come on without moments warning.
my troubles increased as time wore on and
I spent large sums in doctor bills, being COM
PEELED to have medical attendants almost con-
stantly. During 1892 and 1898, it was i'm
possible for me to retain food, and water
brashes plagued me. I was reduced to q
skeleton. A consultation of physicians was
unable to determine just what did all me.
The doctors gave US as their opinion that the
probable trouble was liberation of the coats
of the stomach and held out no hope OF re-
covery. One doctor said, All can do to
relieve your suffering is by the use of opium.
about this time friend of mine. Mrs.
Symantha Smith. of Glidden, Iowa. told me
about the case Of Mrs. Thurston, of Oxford
Junction. Iowa. This lady said she had been
afflicted much the same as I had. She had
consulted local physicians without relief, and
had gone to Davenport for treatment. Giving
up all hope of recovery. she was persuaded
by friend to take DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
The result was almost magical.

STYLISH GOWN FOR SPRING WEAR.

The stylish gown in the double COL
umn illustration is appropriate for
spring wear, says the Mail and Ex-
press. 1t has some novel effects in its
arrangement. The color used is q
narcissus green, and the cloth is OF a
firm texture. The bodice is braided
all over in a ribbon design formed of
a mohair braid of walnut tint, this
again having dentated outline of
fine cord entwined with threads of
iridescent metal. The full pouch
front. folded collar, and under basque
are arranged in soft shade of yellow
satin, the centre plaid, rosettes and
buttons being of walnut velvet. The
plain skirt, of the latest shape, has a
handsome spiral design of the braid
ing on either side of the front depend
ing from the waist downward. The
capote is of narcissus cloth; the
square front has bows of walnut vel
vet, which are fastened in the CEN
tre by an old Strass buckle. The up
standing wings are of white, and
second pair used at the sides give o
peculiarly novel effect thereto.

Fortunes in Gid Bottles.

! Cut CT tie bottles that you and
your neighbors throw away there are
four or five dealers in Pittsburg that
divide up matter of S53, 900 in pro-
fits every year. The old-bottle busi-
ness IS nos thoroughly worked in this
city, but in other large cities of the
country the profits are many times
greater. In this city the collectors
gather up something like 5000, 600
bottles year. The profits range from
half cent to three cents on each bot
tie. According to the figures given
by a dealer yesterday, the average
profit on each bottle is three-fourths
ola cent. There is considerable money
invested in the business here, and it
gives employment to large number
of men. Dealers here collect over
800 classes of bottles and have a fixed
price for each grade. Half of them
are sold here, and the remainder are
sent to New York and Brooklyn,
Hugh Quinn, in the latter city, being
the largest dealer. He has fifty ware
houses there, where he receives and
stores bottles. .-Pittsburg Post.
