Red, White, Green Seas.

The colors of pure ocean water and
the varying shades observed where
impurities are met with are still
further diversified by the coloring
effects of the enormous multitudes OF
various forms of organized life which
sometimes mask the natural color OF
the surface of the sea and tinge ex-
tensive areas with remarkable colors.
Red appears to be the most frequently
met with. In tho southern parts OF
the Red Sea and in the Arabian Gulf
large areas are colored blooi-red by
microscopic animalcula, and in the
Indian Ocean similar forms of life
cause, in addition to red, milk white
or yellow spots of great extent, the
appearance of which is frequently
alarming to the ignorant sailor.
Off the Guinea coast ships some
times appear to float in milk. Exten-
sive red streaks are also known to
occur in the South Atlantic and South
Pacific, which are caused by hosts of
small red crustacea. The "Vermilion
Sea" of California owes its brilliant
color to infusoria. Areas colorel
green have been noted, especially in
the Arctic regions, which are due to
myriads of diatoms, and in some por-
tions of the Antarctic Seas diatoms OF
rusty color make the water u dirty

THE KITCHEN TOWELS,

Housewives are sometimes debarred
from the use of crash for kitchen
towels by It's cost, as well rs by the
fact that it needs to be partly worn
before it makes really good towels
Now that fashion sanctions the use Of
this very serviceable material for toilet
articles as we'll as aprons, it may be
economically used in that way first,
and then descend to the more utili-
tartan household uses. For instance,
your delicately checked linen crash
apron, when worn soft, will make the
best possible glass or dish towel, and
your toilet cover and pin-cushion
cover even, after having served their
apprenticeship in your room, may be
turned into roller towels and dish
cloths. Crash is very easily hem.
stitched, and with this ornumentation
and the state of immaculate clcanli.
ness in which it is so easily kept, it
makes the most desirable of bureau
and table covers.

A Remarkable Electric Light

1t is said that German electrician
has invented wonderful electric
light, which operates in the line of
Nikola Tesla's high potential and high
frequency experiments, but far sur.
passes ANYTHING yet produced by the
wizard" The practical utility of
Tesla's work has often been doubted,
on account of ;he cost of the produc-
tion of the current necessary, but the
German inventor, Professor Ebert,
has made luminescent lamp, using u
sort of luminous paint, which gives IL
serviceable light with -millionth
part of one 'watt'' of electricity
Professor Ebert says that his light
costs but 10000 as much as an ordin-
ary lamp. These high frequency cur
rents are not dangerous, md give but
the smallest quantity of heat, So tho
new light will probably become popu-
lar.-New Orleans Picayune.

HOW TO ROLL A PUDDING.

The most difficult way of cooking
plum pudding is boiling it in a cloth ;
a novice will be likely to spoil it un-
less the following directions are OBJ
served in every particular To boil a
plum pudding successfully have a
large pot half full of actually boiling
water, with plate in the bottom to
keep the cloth from burning or stick
ing to the pot, and a teakettleful OF
boiling water to fill up the pot as the
water boils away; there must always
be enough water to float the pudding,
and it must boil without ceasing,
dumping" in the pot.
The cloth must be of linen towel
ing, about yard square, scalded by
dipping in boiling water and then
thickly busted with sifted flour; and
after the pudding has boiled steadily
for at least six hours it should be un-
rolled, laid upon suitable dish and
set in the oven to dry off while the
sauce is being made. Allowance must
be made for the swelling of an ordin-
arily rich pudding, the cloth being
made about three-quarters full.

For baking most kinds of cake the
oven should be rather slow. If it be
too hot when sponge cake is baking
the cake will sometimes rise very high
and fall again. In any case, it will be
coarse grained and tough. A good
test for sponge cake is to put n piece
of white paper into the oven, close the
door and open it in five minutes. If
the paper be rich yellow the oven is
right, but if it be light yellow the
oven is too cool, or if dark brown it
is too hot.

Paris Ever Famous.

Paris was famous and cultivated
city ages before Venice. If we search
for them, we may find in it historical
associations that may vie with those of
any city in the world, except Rome and
Constantinople; and even its antigua

equaled or surpassed. At Rome, Flor
ence, or Venice, the tourist talks of old
churches, palaces, and remains; at
Paris he gives himself up to the boule-
wards, the theaters, shops, and races.

profuse antiquarian remains of the

Woman and Finance.

The Code Napoleon was the forerunner of'the financial emancipation of woman, recognizing her financial status as part neR in marriage. Consequently French women are f1nanciers and are moro large ly engaged in commerce than the women of any other nation, not as employees, but as employers and partners. Because the code conferred on women early in tho development of the woman question a financial standing France stands on the surest foundation on which the family can be established. The baneful influence of the English common law in regard to marriage Is being gradually overcome by statute law. In many states whero it re- mained unchanged it created between husband and wife the feeling that tho finances are exclusively in tho hands of the husband. Money becomes an unfor- tunate subject to discuss after marriage and one to be scrupulously avoided before marriage. Many a girl marries a man ig norant of his financial resources, and most men in this country marry a woman without Rny discussion as to her financial prospects from her family.-Philadelph Ledger
