namely. the expansion OF the sap in
turning into ice. But this is not the
case. The splitting is due to the con-
traction of the wood by frost in a SIM
liar way, but in less degree to what
happens when the wood is dried. When
the thaw comes the trees expand to
their original dimensions.
The powder used in the big guns is
queer-looking stuff. Each grain Is a

as a piece Of wood. II you touch a
match to 1t it will take seven or eight
seconds to go off. Slow-burning powder
like this is employed in cannon because
It does not strain the gun SO much. The
quicker the explosion, the great the
shock and the shorter the life OF the
weapon.

amount of fuel it Is possible to carry,
should certainly count very much in its
favor. One can hardly judge from the
results as published. however, for there
are no details given as to whether the
vibration was serious or whether there
was an objectionable smell from the
fuel. The results obtained must be con-
sidered remarkable from purely me-
chanical standpoint, as the fact that
an engine, as compact as the require
ments demand, should be capable Of
continuous operation of from forty
eight hours to sixty hours, is remark
able performance. The fact that an oil
engine Is an economical motor cannot
be disputed. Some tests made by Pro-
fessor Irwin show that a motor indi-
eating six to eight horse power can de-
liver break horse power with an
equivalent consumption of about one
and twotenths pounds Of coal per horse
power hour. This being equal or slight
ly superior to the performances OF the
best steam engines of large size.

The Cost OF Cleaning Berlin.

1t is true that municipal affairs are.
generally speaking, conducted here
more economically and much more
thoroughly than is the case in Ameri-
can cities. Thus in 1875 the streets of
Berlin, covering . total area of $780,
600 square meters, were cleaned at an
annual expenditure of 1000, 900 marks
(s500, O0O). Now, the area OF Berlin
streets having increased by 1895 to over
5000, 900 square meters. the streets are
cleaned for but $500, oOo--and cleaned,
let me say, better than in any other
large city in the world This is due to
system, to the excellent pavements,
constantly renewed and mended, and
to machine sweeping, which costa GO
per cent less than the sweeping done
by hand. 1t is the same with the
street sprinkling. This is done during
the season whenever needed, on hot,
dusty days twice, and 1900, 900 cubic
meters of water are used up in the
thorough system of sprinkling between

But to go back to the death knell Of
Wormleys. Hundreds of curious people
wandered through the halls and open
rooms gazing upon the furniture that has
been used in the past by the royalty of
Europe and some of the most distinguish
ed men in the history OF this country.
The buyers consisted of secondhand fur
niture dealers and clearinghouse keep
ers They seemed to care little for the
fact that Charles Sumner had reposed
on one of the diVans' and refused to pay
more than So for it, There were two Of
Summers divans sold for this price, ana
tho furniture in rooms 30 and As, which
have been occupied by the most distin-
guished guests that have ever visited
this city, brought no more than any other
secondhand stuff. Two chairs were offer
ed for sale for which Mr.. Wormley had
refused &5 apiece. One of them was sold
for $50, apd it is said to have been used
in the Senate chamber during the stormy
days Immediately before the war. The
remains of the fine furniture which
furnished the house at its opening were
scattered, but could be easily picked out
from among the iatter-olay furniture.
When the founder of the hotel opened
the house, just after the war. it was fur
nished throughout with the finest wal
nut. Charles Sumner lived in the Worm
ley house for years. When Mr. Sumner
died Mr.. Wormley bought his furniture.

1t is largely a matter of education, I
believe. Mothers teach their little girls to
be afraid of mice. In Germany women

DR.. Lamson Scribner, who knows more
about grasses than anybody else insthls
country, says;
THE matter has a relation to skirts.
| There is no telling what the mouse will
do. 1t would be interesting to know il
women We're afraid of mice before they
wore skirts"
Dr. Palmer ornithologist, says:
Women are not so much afraid of mice
as they used to be. They know more about
natural history than formerly; they are
more athletic and less afraid Of being
hurt. The woman of to-day has fewer
nerves; it is not so fashionable TO have
them. She faints and goes into mysteries
less often than her grandmother did"
Prof. Galloway, the authority on fungus
diseases of plants. says:
"A woman has an inherent antipathy to
an animal against which she cannot de-
fend herself and from which she cannot
get away. crow is more afraid of
sparrow than of a hawk. because the little
dicky-bird is so quick in its movements"
DR.. A. X. Fisher, the bird authority
says:
a woman has the same antipathy to a
mouse as she has to a snake, because con-
tact would be unpleasant In the year

of view the mouse may be regarded as
an argument for dress reform
United States Entomologist L. O. How
ard says:
"The notion that quick-darting, active
animal that bites hard may get under
{ mes clothes is disagreeable idea to any
n ody."
Mr.. Schwarz, expert in beetles says
~ omen are as much afraid of bats as
they are of mice. Many people suppose
than bats are nothing more nor less than
wins ed mice, though, of course, the mouse
and Athe bat are not related nearly at all
There is an old notion to the effect that
a bat is likely to fly into woman's hair,
though. presumably, such thing never
occurred. Why are human beings afraid
of snakes? l have no doubt that the idea
that thes Sc innocent but useful animals are
dangerouk' was derived originally from the
Scripture story of a serpent in Paradise.
1t is only a very rare snake that is poi
sonous.'
Prof. Theodore Gill, the ichthyologist
says;
"A woman does not like to feel that she
herself is a suitable hiding place for
mouse to run TO-"
MIR. Charles Richmond, ornithologist
says:
"a woman will squeal at frog about as
quickly as at a mouse. Men are easily
startled by small animals that are quick
of movement, but they are not so highly
organized nervously and it never occurs
to them to scream. The last thing man
thinks of when he is frightened is to
scream; he has other business on hand
better worth attending to-"
