DANCE. in Mineral Wool.

Mineral wool is made by blowing
powerful jets Of steam or hot air
through iron. Stag or certain sorts of
rock. That this substance has possible
dangers has for some time been evil
dent to scientists. 1t is said that these
extremely fine fibers get into the skin.
under the nails, into the eyes and are
breathed into the lungs, producing seri-
Gus hemorrhages. They are in reality
closely akin to glass, especially those
of Stag, and this material should be
handled with great caution. 1t is large
" used in building for filing partitions
and floors as a deadener Of sound. 1t
is also useful for packing pipes and
many other purposes. Men who work
in it use sticks and various implements
for handling it, taking care not to touch
it. In using this mineral wool it is,
we'll to observe whether there are cur
rents of air strong enough to lift it up
to breathing level. If SO the worker may
to advantage tie fine but thin hand
kerchief over his mouth and nose.

Among the improvements in bicycles
may be mentioned rims of aluminium,
These rims are said to be extremely
rigid and durable, and, of course, are
very light. A new cyclometer is shown
which weighs but one and three quar-
ter ounces, and is warranted accurate
and reliable. A combined clock and
cyclometer is another novelty. With
this attachment the rider can set time
and stop it again, thus taking his own
speed with the utmost accuracy. It
seems that all Of the talk about increase
of weight in the 1896 wheels has ended
in nothing. Tires in some cases are
thicker and stronger, consequently are
very slightly Increased in weight; but
this is made up for in many instances
by lighter construction elsewhere.

Tho Gulf Stream.

The curious point is made by writ
er that if a channel Of sufhclent size
and depth we're cut from the Caribbean
sea to the Pacific ocean the gulf stream
would no longer flow across the Atian-
tic and warm the shores OF Europe,
but would pour into the Pacific ocean.
The islands forming the Caribbean sea
act on the principle Of breakwater or
dam, holding the water that has been
forced into the sea by the tides and
trade winds ard cause the water to be
higher in that sea and turn 1t into the
Gulf of Mexico, which becomes the res
ervoir or fountain head. whence the
gulf stream flows like river from
lake, being the equalizer OF water as
we'll as heat and making its way in
the direction of the greatest deficiency
Of that element. Further, the warmth
of this wonderful stream is accounted
for by the fact that its waters are
supplied from the tropics, the tide
waves acting on the principle OF an
eddy, SO it has counter-currents, also.
this theory resting upon the assump-
ton that the water is higher on the
east than on the west side of the 18TH
mus of Panama, and the continent OF
America being the great dam in the
ocean that forms the gulf stream, by
placing the continent of America SO
that it would lie east and west, there
would be no gulf stream.-Scientifis

The Influence Of Winds ON Vegetation.
At meeting of the International
Meteorological congress-a report of
which has recently been published
considerable attention was given to the
effect of winds. It states that the de-
struction of the forests is responsible
for many of the cold waves which we
experience. Special mention is made
Of the disappearance Of peach trees
from Michigan, which is said to be
traceable directly to the deforestation
of the state and the uninterrupted rush
OF cold winds. The hot, sweeping
winds of the plains, known as dessicat-
ing winds, are held accountable for a
loss of something like 21,OOO,OGO BUSH
els of corn in the state Of Kansas alone.
The absence of timber belts and wind
breaking forests allows these dessicat-
ing winds to sweep over many miles of
cultivated land. These winds may
reach temperature of los or 100 de-
grees. with humidity not over 20 or %
per cent at the outside. This report
recommends extensive planting of tim
Der as the best protection against cold
waves and hot winds.

The Nom ReAllable Bottle Again.
An item In the New York Ledger has
aroused a good deal of discussion on
the subject of a non-refillable bottle.
A number of Inventors claim to have
patents that cover this idea. but, as Tar
as they have been examined, they are
all faulty. and do not stand the test OF
practical use. AS a sample of the work
that has been done in this line. the
following criticism from the Wine and
Spirit Circular may be interesting:
There have been SO many devices
submitted for approval, and invariably
objected to for one reason or another.
that the trade seems weary of being i'm
portuned, and it is gradually beginning
to consider the idea impracticable. and
to regard the inventors as 'cranks,'
while the glass manufacturers. having
been surfeited In the matter Of making
trial samples, are free to admit they
prefer not to be troubled by such work.
and II they can be prevailed upon to
do the work at all, they do it at their
own convenience, which may mean a
delay of weeks or months" From all
of which it appears that the trade does
not consider this want by any means
met.-New York Ledger.

One Of the most novel and useful
inventions that has recently come to
our notice is the combined spring bed

ity Of bed-spring sections formed by
U-shaped metal springs. which are
rigidly secured at their ends by lo1gi-
tudinal strips, said sections being
Joined together at alternate ends. SO

enlist describes what he calls freak
pottery. In explorations and investi-
cations Of the mounds of Florida very
large quantities of pottery are found.
1t u evident that they were broken be-
fore being buried with their owners.
and that there must be some reason fo-
breaking them. The freak, or cere-
monial pottery, the latter name being
supposed to describe the articles more
accurately. appears to have been made
for the purpose of burying with the
dead. They are pierced with holes be-
fore they are baked. and were evidently
useless for the purpose Of ordinary
dishes. According to traditions exist
ing among some Of the tribes. 1t IL be-
Heyed that the vessel had sort Of

WashingtOn's Birthday.

Arriving at a season of the year when
the elements are apt to place a chill
upon enthusiasm generally. Washing
tons birthday is seldom greeted with
outward tokens of appreciation that
| usually herald the coming of the red
letter day with which it should always
be associated. viz: July Fourth. The
signers OF the declaration of indepen-
dence promulgated the plans for a gov
ernment by the people and it remained
for George Washington and his immor-
tai band of heroes to carry out the
| scheme of the patriots who first listened
to the clang of liberty bell. In leading
the little army of patriots to victory in
the stormy days of the revolution
George Washington made for himself
name that shines out brilliantly from
among those of the famous leaders in
the worlds history like brilliant plan
ct in the milky way. His triumphs
We're no. in the interest of conquest
The victories of the hero of &c marked
the birth of liberty and the establish
ment of a government which has been
the guiding star of patriots the world
over who labor in the interests OF the
oppressed and downtrodden. The eX
ample Of the brave men who fought
and bled for freedom has stimula ted
patriotism everywhere and the form of
government by the people which was
then an experiment is recognized by the
nations of the earth is the only form
which binds the people together as one
great family. Other nations may boast
of standing armies, of battle arma-
ments and resources that are unfound
ed. but in the United States there is
sentiment that makes this nation the
most powerful upon the globe in spite
of all 1t is the sense of independence
and the knowledge that all have an in
terest I'm the welfare of the land. 1t
Is the knowledge that in resisting en-
croachments from foreign power it
| would be q battle for home and fireside.
With each recurring birthday of the
patriot who first saw the light of day
| one hundred and siXty-four years ago
our altars should be re-lighted with the
flames of patriotism and though our
exuberance may not be marked by the
booming of cannon and the whiZ of the
rocket, let patriotism be ever in evil
dence and the memory of the heroes of
'76 ever green. that the nation may be
| worthy of the heritage that was
bought with blood.
