A New M otor.

A queer craft has just made its appear
ance in the bay at San Francisco. 1t is a
wave motor designed to propel itself as a
boat and to furnish power for other
machines when drawn up to wharves. The
inventor is Paul Brietenstein, stage car
penter in the Macdonough Theatre at Oak
land. Brietcnstein spent 5000 and many
months in constructing the machine in
Oakland Creek, and brought it out to try
it on the bay. 1t certainly propelled itself
What else II will do remains to be seen
when the harbor commissioners give him
permission to fasten his engine at a wharf
and try it on machinery. The wave motor
has side wheels and consists OF two fiat
bottomed, double-end scows fastened to-
gether bow and bow by hinge. When
the scows rock In the waves the motion is
communicated to lever, which in turn
moves fly wheel, completing the ''mo.
~" The peculiar craft is forty-two feet
aver all, nine feet in beam, drawing but
sixteen inches.

Japan's x-Tycoon.

1t may interest some people to
know that the ex-Tycoon, of Japan,
the last OF the Tokugama dynasty
the last Of the fierce Shoguns who
ruled the country for so many years
with mailed hand-is still living.
His home is at Shiznoka. He is now
in the sixties, and he leads sort of
hermit life. l am informed that he
receives very little company and is
practically inaccessible to strangers.
Formerly he visited Tokyo occasion
ally. No political disability rests
upon him. as he voluntarily abdica-
ted all power during the revolution
Of 1865. He takes no part in public
affairs whatever. His chief pastime
is hunting, though he is growing
rather old for that.
This man is the son OF that Tycoon
who received and treated with Com
modore Perry in 1854. He came to
the throne q few years after that i'm
portant event. What changes he has
scent What mighty results he has
noted as q sequence Of that simple
introduction OF japan to the new
world Of the far West! Not long ago
the ex-Tycoon, while hunting, acci-
dentally shot andt severely injured
one OF the poor farmers OF his neigh
borhood. The affair worried him
greatly, and he has Of late shown a
disposition to give up the chase al
together.

Egyptian CoIors.

In antiquity, says Cosmos, besides
indigo and purple, few colors were en-
ployed, and these were obtained for
the most part from the vegetable
kingdom, but their purity was SO
great that they have kept we'll to our
own times, after having undergone
for centuries the action Of the air
and the sun. The fact is particu-
larry remarkable in the Egyptian
tombs; the stone has been disinte-
grated by weathering, while the col
ors have been preserved. The color
that we meet most frequently is a
mixture Of reddish brown oxide Of
iron (red hematite) and clay, known
under the name Of Pompeiian red.
This color, which has resisted for
4, 900 years the sun Of Egypt and the
action OF the air, is equally proof
against acids. The Egyptians re-
duced it by rubbing between stones
under water to degree Of fineness
that we cannot obtain nowadays by
chemical precipitation. An equally
precious yellow pigment, also much
used, was formed of natural oxide
Of iron mixed with much clay. chalk
and water, and Drowned by the action
Of heat; the mixture OF the two col
ors gives orange. For this yellow
color, gold bronze or gold leaf was
also employed. For blue they used
glass covered with copper minerals
this pigment was not less permanent
than the preceding, even acids hav-
ing very little effect upon it. Gyp-
sum or plaster OF paris furnished
white and also formed the basis Of
pale colors when organic pigments
were added to it, probably madden
for red. The colors were always
thinned ana rendered adhesive by
means Of gums. 1t is interesting to
know, as is proved by inscriptions,
that the artists regarded their colors
as imperishable.

Marriage cere ony in Swede en-.

Although Cupid runs riot in all
chimes, his ways and means differ.
And to those foreign to the country
some of the marriage ceremonies
would hardly seem in keeping with
so sacred and solemn a service.
In Sweden and Norway the bride is
dressed in her wedding garments and
placed in the middle Of the room, sur
rounded by a circle OF bright lights.
Then the villagers enter and, walking
around the bride, audibly comment
upon her appearance, character, and
prospects. Occasionally some young
fellow will say:
''Well, she's to be married at last.
About time, / think. It's the first
offer she's had since Tilted her,
Yes" another one will interject,
81 pity the man who will marry
her."
but doesn she look old though ?"
third will add and this running
lire is kept up for an hour or SO. But
all is patiently borne by the bride.
Finally everyone is ordered out Of the
room, and then the wedding cere-
mony is performed When it is fin
ished a tin dish is placed before the
bride, and what is known as the
cradle tax" is collected. Her father
places banknote and two silver
spoons in the dish, and the guests
all contribute money or silver gifts.
Then procession forms, which es-
corts the bride and groom to their
home, each person carrying lighted
candle. Then it's all over, and, like
the good old fairy tales, they live
happily ever afterwards, at least let
us hope so.

The manufacturers of clocks have
not been so busy at any time during
several years past as they are at
present; the factories devoted to the
production of silver-plated ware are

their hands shorter vacations than

FRUIT AS FOOD.
Good Ripe Fruits are DIssstibIs and
NourIshIno.

NourishIno.
Eve is said to have seen that fruit
was good for food. Every generation
since has Endorsed her opinion. and
now perhaps more than ever before
the world is waking up to see how
good a food it really is. Good ripe
fruits contain a large amount Of
sugar in very digestible form. This
sugar forms q light nourishment,
which, in conjunction with bread,
rice, ETC., form food especially suit
able for these warm colonies, and
when eaten with milk or milk and
eggs, the whole forms the most per-
feet and easily digestible food i'm
aginable.
For stomachs capable Of digesting
it fruit eaten with pastry forms q very
perfect nourishment, but / prefer
my cooked fruit covered with rice
and milk or custard. l received q
book lately written by medical man
advising people to live entirely on
fruits and nuts. am not prepared
to 60 so far-by the way. he allowed
some meat to be taken with it-for,
although look upon fruit as an ex-
cellent food, yet look upon it more
as necessary adjunct than as per-
feet food OF itself. Why for ages
have people eaten apple sauce with
their roast goose and sucking pig?
Simply because the acids and pee
tones in the fruit assist in digesting
the fats so abundant in this kind OF
food. For the same reason at the
end of q heavy dinner we eat our
cooked fruits, and when we want
their digestive action even more de-
veloped we take them after dinner
In their natural, uncooked state as
dessert.
In the past ages instinct has
taught men to do this; to-day SCI
ence tells them why they did it, and
this same science tells us that fruit
should be eaten as an aid to diges-
tion OF other foods much more than
it is now. Cultivated fruits such as
apples, pears, cherries. strawberries,
grapes, ETC., contain on analysis very
similar proportions of the same in
gradients, which are about eight per
cent. of grape sugar. three per cent.
OF pectones, one per cent. OF malic
and other acids. ana one per cent.
of flesh-forming albuminoids, with
over eighty per cent. of water. Di-
gestion depends upon the action of
pepsin in the stomach upon the food.
which is greatly aided by the acids
OF the stomach. Fats are 1igested by
these acids and the bile from the
liver. Now, the acids and pectones
in fruit peculiarly assist the acids of
the stomach. Only lately even roy
atty has been taking lemon juice in
tea instead Of sugar, and lemon juice
has been prescribed largely by physi-
clans to help weak digestion, simply
because these acids exist very abund-
antly in the lemon.

rHE E0ds THAT NBVzR'
HATCH.

There's young man on the corner.
Filled with life and strength and hope
Looking far beyond the present.
With the whole world in his scope.
He Is grasping ut tomorrow.
That phantom none can catch;
To-day Is lost. He's waiting
For the eggs that never hatch.
There's an old man over yonder,
With worn and weary face,
With searching. anxious features,
And weak, uncertain pace.
He Is living In the future.
With no desire TO catch
The golden now. He's waiting
For the eggs that never hatch.
There's world of men and women,
With their LIES work yet undone,
Who are sitting, standing, moving,
Beneath the same great sun;
Ever eager for the future.
But not content to snatch
The present. They are waiting
For the eggs that never hatch.
