as he was born in 1859, but has accom-
plished much in this science. He was edu-
Gated at the United States Naval academy

A sub.t,tu.. For Ice.

Chicago has been interested this week
some experiments with new chem
,dal compound designed to take the place
If ice The chemical costs 20 cents a
pound. II is placed in the icebox Of
refrigerator A small amount of water is
added to cause it to dissolve The re-
frigetator is then closed and cold results
Immediately.
The inventor says that the compound
contains III ingredients and the formula
Is secret. The mixture is light pink in
color, and is in the form Of cryst - like
coarse salt It is said to be Ls:..ectly
harmless and has an alkaline taste
When moistened, it instantly becomes
intensely cold. This effect lasts "a hours
or until the crystals are entirely dis
solved Then it is placed on fire and
boiled down" until the water evapo
rates and the crystals are left in their
original form. 1t is then ready for use
again by simply adding fresh water 1t
is asserted that the chemicals lose none
Of their properties by the process, and
that the crystals can be used for years
During the Chicago tests ice was fro.
zen to the thickness of window glass in a
few minutes, and to the thickness of
two or three inches in less than six
hours. The experiments were successful
in every way, and ice dealers ought to
be particularly interested in them
There is little doubt that before many
years a refrigerating apparatus will be
devised by which houses may be cooled
in summer as easily as they are now
warmed in winter. The new refrigerat.
ing compound may be an important fac.
tor in the solution of this problem. =

Furs.

The fur of the weasel family is in great
demand by the dealers because of its beau
ty and adaptability in many classes OF
wearing apparel. What is known as or.
mine is produced by little animal called
the stoat in England. In winter he changes
his reddish brown skin to white one.
Savage and bloodthirsty is this little crea-
ture, preying upon everything that he can
overpower. His chief food consists of par
tridges and rabbits, but many other small
animals are disposed Of in the same way.
The pine marten, member Of the weasel
tribe, has brown skin and yellow
throat Stone martens have blush
brown coat with white throat. They are
larger than the stoat and more destructive.
The otter is the king of weasels. He can
whip anything of his weight in the world.
He Is hunted with hounds in England
and can give six or seven dogs all they can
do to kill him. Like the mink, he Is very
fond Of fish and waterfowl.
All of the weasel family are very fierce
and strong for their size. The skunk,
with his black and white coat; the badger,
with his beautiful silver gray fur and
black dashes, and the sable are all of the
same species and valuable fur bearing ami
mals.-Boston Traveller.

English and American Statesmen

One of the advantages which England
as nation has over the United States Is
the comparative ease with which public
opinion is concentrated upon the great. is
sues of the day. This often makes parli"-
ment a much more efficient body and more
truly democratic than congress. The rea-
son lies, in part at least, In the very small
ness Of Great Britain geographically. 1t has
only one center, London, and is more ho-
mogeneous in population than this country
can ever hope to be. 1t is easier to get a
better class Of representatives in England.
There are many able men in congress. But
how rarely do we hear of congressman as
ever having made name outside the walls
Of the capitol In England many Of the
leading scholars and literary men are al
ways to be found in parliament, and, what
Is more, they do not cease their literary la
bors because they are for the time being
politicians.
Gladstone has kept up his literary activ-
ity throughout his political life. Morley
and Bryce and Rosebery and many Others
are authors of distinction as well as lead
ers In politics. We hope the time will
come when our own lawmakers will many
Of them be known as something more than
politicians-men of broad culture and ma
tional influence outside the limits of their
own party and beyond the walls Of COZ

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS.
Preparing For the Approaching Annual
Convention at Niagara.

Since Benjamin Franklin few his ia
nous kite and harnessed the lightning,
something more than century ago, there
has been marvellous development in the
science of electricity and in the application
of this unseen, subtle force TO the uses of
mankind. That mysterious element In
nature OF which so little was known prior
to Franklin's crude expert { mt has be
come tremendous motor In the practical
enterprises Of the world. 1t carries mes
sages across land and under seas and fur
nishes the propulsive energy which moves
the wheels OF transportation and manu-
facture, and yet the electric science is lit
tie more than in its infancy.
An assembly Of the students Of applied
electricity will soon gather at Niagara
Falls, where will be held the annual meet
ing of the American Institute of Electrical
Engineers. The place of meeting is appro-
pirate, in view of the recent developments
at Niagara Falls in the utilization of ma
ture's great water power as an electric
generator. Therein the assembled engi-
neers will find much to interest thom and
doubtless much in the way of practical in
struction and benefit.
The society now has membership of
nearly 1,00O electrical engineers, located

Aunt Roxana Sheldon laid down the

II don't know, I'm sure, Aunt Roxy"
replied the niece, with slight blush.
"Vandeely, said Miss Sheldon after an
other keen glance over her spectacles, "hev

lated churches, the new institution starts
off with debt, the treasurer's report
showing receipts to the amount of $40, 500
and $50, 500 expenditures, leaving deficit
Of 81, 800.
The new building is combination of
church and mission, the church being on
the upper story, while below are the chapel,
schoolroom and offices, with the dormi.
tories of the mission in the rear. The sane
tuary is very plainly furnished, with Jap
anese mating on the floor and gay red
carpet in the pulpit. The room is tastefully
adorned with japanese vases filled with
flowers. The windows have diamond
panes, and, with the exception of the Glib
son memorial window, are unstained. The
exterior Of the structure is an artistic com
bination of birch, plaster and wood carving.
Rev. NJ. O. Harris is pastor Of the church,
and he expects to make 1t a recruiting
ground for missionary work in Japan. He
speaks japanese fluently and conducts
services in both English and Japanese.
There are Japanese churches in Oakland,
Sacramento, Fresno and Portland, but the
one In San Francisco Is the first to wor-
ship in an ediflce of its own.

Church Built of Oranges.

The Legrindo Valley Tropical Fruit
company of Palermo, Jamaica, recently
made one Of the oldest exhibits imagi
nable. 1t was nothing more nor less
than perfect miniature church of or
anges, an exact model in every particu
lar of the Church of St Francis, the
Oldest Catholic edifice in the valley In
carrying out the details of this unique
design model of old St Francis was
made Of boards, the size being one-sev
enth that Of the original Workmen
from the inside worked several days in
driving rows of spikes through the
boards. When this was finished, the
pygmy church looked like some mon.
strous freak of the porcupine tribe,
closely covered with bristling iron points
from foundation to the apex of the well
proportioned spire.
Every orange grower in the valley
contributed from peck to five bushels
OF oranges These were carefully sized
and slipped over the nail points, and in
very short time the unsightly structure
became small but beautiful church of
golden yellow oranges, not q nail OF
section Of framework being visible. Ev
cry morning during the ten days of fes.
tivities which followed, the oranges of
the day before were replaced by fresh
ones. 1t is estimated that upward of
1000 bushels of fruit were used for this
purpose. This appears to be a great
waste Of oranges, but the exhibitors are
of the opinion the advertising will re.

81 won't. I'll let him think your hus-

him."
II know. Well, my new gown came
home q ruin, an absolute wreck, and to
tell the truth, took most of my rage out
on Antonius, because l wasn't afraid Of
him and was of her. A day or two later
his new suit came home from the tailor's.
1t was perfect fit except the coat sleeves
were half an inch too long. told him
that 1t didn't really matter much, for they
could easily be shortened. He replied that
he wasn't afraid of his tailor if 1 was of

down and give him piece of his mind
that he'd tell him he wasn't fit to make q

such awful language that l was really

yet, and trcmbled for the consequences

him by reminding him that the poor man

too long,"
Nothing of the kind. He came back
