umes are unwieldy. Besides. the senator
ought to have known that $50 for the
cheapest set Is too much TO ask during
Democratic times.

Dangers of the Compartment Car.

The beauties of the compartment car
plan are illustrated by the following &C.
currence to an excursion train in
France: After passing Amiens it was
noticed that the roof of compartment
containing nine passengers was on fire.
The passengers tried to, draw the atten-
ton of the driver and guard, but found
the communication cord broken, and as
the flames were every second obtaining
firmer hold of the woodwork one Of
the occupants, at the risk of his life,
went along the footboards to the guard S
van, only to learn that the latter had
no means of communication with the
engine driver. Meanwhile, as the train
rushed on. the flames increased in vol.
ume. and the passengers, in a panic,
fired revolver shots to attract the atten-
tion of those on the engine. Even this
failed, however, and the condition of af-
fairs was becoming most serious, when
the guard succeeded in scrambling across
the carriages to the engine. The train
was stopped and the fire eventually sub
dued"

Soap Bubbles.

III. Lam has communicated to the
Academy of Sciences new method for
obtaining soap bubbles Is ing n much
longer time than those obtaIned from
the soap water generally used. He has
recourse to resinons soap made by the
following formula: Pulycrize together
10 grams of -pnre .Spsin and 10 parts
OF carbonate OF potash; add 100 parts of
water ard boil until complete solution.
We obtain iii this way "a thick solution
which may be kept in stock to be diluted
for use with from four to five times its
volume Of water. 1t can be kept indefi-
hitely even when exposed to the air. The
bubbles produced are very persistent and
consequently can be made useful in the
study OF phenomena relating to thin
laminG and in making photographs in
which soap bubbles play a part.
