A Handy STORAGE Battery.

The Importance of the storage bat
terry in future electrical work is becom-
ing daily more apparent<. While in Eng
land and on the European continent
it is extensively and successfully used,
in America it has met with Indifferent
success. The trouble here seems to be
that storage batteries are worked with
too small a margin of safety; we want
to get too much out of them. AS w. w.
Griscom recently put it: "A storage
battery continually worked to it's COM
mercial rating is a commercial failure.
A storage battery worked sufficiently
within it's capacity is invariably q COM
mercial success" A battery is now
made that, while 30 per cent lighter
than other batteries of corresponding
capacity, can be worked we'll within
its capacity, and still give most salts
factory service. 1t is of unusual
strength and solidity, and will stand
any amount Of hard usage. The lead
plates are SO assembled. as to expose
u very large amount of active service
to the action of the electrolyte. The
battery can be rapidly, economically,
and efficiently charged. 1t may be both
overcharged and discharged rapidly
without detriment to tie plates. In
proof Of his it is mentioned that a
plant of these cells has been discharged
repeatedly, for the LAST sixteen months,
at rates of from one and one-half to
four amperes per pound Of plate and
not n single plate Of the batteries
submitted to these severe tests was
"buckled' or warped, The "buckling'
or bending Of the plates after a period
Of wear, has always bNen a fatal de-
feet Of the storage battery, and this
new record is of value In showing a
distinct stride in its construction. The
new battery is well suited to the run
ming Of electric launches, lighting, or
any service where Il high discharge
rate may be occasionally demanded,
and it is claimed to be especially adapt
ed for traction work.

from the warm room into the cold
dairy. where the temperature is sew
eral degrees lower, to cool off for q
few moments, as she says. While rest
ing there she drinks Il glass Of cold
water and then goes back again to her
work. She goes from the stove to the
cellar without Il thought of the risk she
Is running. This criminal careleSsness
on her part causes many of the rheu-
matte fevcrs sc prevalent upon our
farms, and if it does nothing else it
ruins the finest skin. No surface can
be exposed to such extremes without
injury, and a face that is first almost
blistered with heat and then chilled
with a current of cold air Is apt to grow
Wrlnkled and coarse, if it is not dis
figured by cruptions. Instead of doing
so much work in the hot kitchen, the
: wide, cool piazzas, which, as Il general
thing, run around II side of the farm
house, should be utilized for domestic
purposes. The ironing and part of the
baking can bn done here very easily
by using a small Oil stove; and the
vegetables will be quite as thoroughly
prepared for cooking if the housewife
sits comfortably in the coolest corner,
instead Of YEARLY bending over a ia
bic in i close room, made almost un-
endur:Ele by the heat from a large
stove.

Applications Of Cailulose.

Prof. G. A. Silberad has described
some of the recent applications of eel
lulose. OF these the best known Is
celluloid. whirh IL made Of a combina-
ton of camphor and pyroxyline. 1t
may be obtained either by direct ad-
dition Of pyroxyline to melted cam
phor, or by strongly COMPRISING the
two together, or, lastly, by dissolving
tie two in some common solvent, rs
ether-alcohol. The product is a trans
lucent mass. which is worked between
rollers, first in the cold, and then at
q higher temperature. 1t Is next SUBJ
jected to hydraulic pressure at a tenn
p~erature Of about 60 degrees contigrade
for twenty-four hours, and dried Tor
several days at a moderate heat, after
being cut into sheets OF desired thick
ness. The substance is then quite
homogeneous. and may be Gu anu
turned in the cold r nodded under
pressure at a higher temperature. 1t
is readily colored by pigments or dyes,
which can be either mechanically
mixed in a state of powder or dissolv-
ed with the camphor in the alcohol.
Artificial tortoise shell is made by weld
Ing together alternate plates Of differ
entity tinted c%elluloids. Another appli-
cation of cellulose is to the ~:nanufact-
ure of vegetable parchment or parch-
ment paper.
If the celluiose 30 rapidly passed
through moderately strong sulphurtc
acid and then well washed in water,
it acquires properties very similar 70
those Of parchment, instead OF which
it is extensively used. Another form
Of ~cellulose, the thiOcarbonate, pos
sesses q similar power of coagulation
either on standing for a considerable
period or on heating above 60 degrees
or by the action Of an acid. This coagu-
lation forms Il gelatinous mass which
gradually shrinks but In such q manner
as to form an exact miniature OF the
interior shape Of the containing vessel.
ALI the sulphur and alkali are found IN
the LIQUID which separates from tho
shrunken mass. In view of the newt
ably failing supplies Of ivory and the
established success Of the ebonite N
celluloid manufacturers, this material
Is destined to attain great commercial
Importance. None Of the materials re-
uuired in its production are expensive:
It ia free both from the brittleness OF
ebontite and the infiammability OF eel
Inloid. while the readiness with which
It q be obtained IN any desired shape
gives 1t q marked superiority e eth

Spectrum analysis in the hands Of
,Or. Higgins and Mr.. Lockyer and 9TH
ers has taught us things of which the
world little expected to be told. We
have been enabled to measure the
speed with which clouds of blazing n.y.
1rogen course across the surface of the
sun; we have learned the pace-the fab
1lous pace-at which the most familiar
stars have been for ages approaching
to or receding from our planet, which
as far as historical records go back,
hey have always delineated on the
evening sky. We have received some
information about the elementary
atoms themselves. We have learned
that each sort of atom, when heated,
strikes upon the ether a vibration, or
set of vibrations, whose rate is all it's
own; and that no II atom or cOmbina-
tion of atoms, in producing its wi
spectrum, encroaches even to the ex-
tent Of a sing..e line rSon the spectrum
that is peculiar to Its neighbOr. We
have learned that the elements which
exist in the stars, and especially in the
sun, are mainly those with which we
are familiar upon earth. These are a
few lines in exces to which we can
give no terrestrial name; and there are
still more puzzling gaps in our list.
1t is a great aggravation Of the mys-
terry which besets the question of the
elements that, among the lines which
are absent from the spectrum Of the
sun, those of nitrogen and oxygen stand
first. Oxygen constitutes the largest
portion Of the solid and liquid sub
stance of our planet, so far as we know
1t; and nitrogen is very far the pre-
dominant constituent of our atmOs-
phere. If the earth is a detached bit
whirled off the mass of the sun, as cos
mogonists love to tell us, how
it that In leaving the sun we cleaned
him out SO completely of his nitrogen
and oxygen that not n trace Of these
gases remains behind to be discovered
even by the sensitive vision of the spec
troscope?
All these things the discovery of the
spectrum analysis has added to u
knowledge; but it has left us as ignor-
ant rs yer as to the nature of the Ca
PRECIOUS differences which separate the
atoms from each other, or the to
which those differences are due.-From
Unsolved Problems of Science, by the
Marquis of Salisbury, in The Popular
Science Monthly.

One little curl out of place may en-

That may be the reason why curls are
receiving so much attention. 1t matters
little this season whether the hair is
piled high on the head in a fluffy l. ass
or !coiled low upon the neck: but the
correct number of curls must rest upon
the forehead.
Hair should be dressed according to
the shape of the face If it is to be be-
coming. A round young face is made
more attractive by piling the hair high
up on the forehead, while the face
which is inclined 70 be long and mar
row requires the hair dressed extremely
low. Brushing the hair straight back
from the forehead tempts every wrinkle
