SPURIOUS SEALSKINS.
Made Out of Tame French Rabbit Pelts
That Deceive the Very Elect.


There was no installing the old
who could not afford the real declined
the counterfeit; but it is stated that
among the coming winters fashions
will be- skins so cleveriy dressed to ini-
tate the covering of the seal that. Getec-
ton vii! be possible only to the expert.
1t is expected that this innovation will
be one of the most remarkable develop
ments the fur trade has ever known.
The new fur is called electric seal"
and consists of the skin of the ordinary
French tame rabbit electrically treated.
The process involves a careful first
dressing to obtain softness and pliabiI-
ity, the coat afterward passing under u
machine of extraordinary delicacy,
which catches and shears down the
stronger and coarser hairs, giving at
the same time softness and "flow" TO
what is left The dyeing is skillfully
managed to give artificial gradations Of
golden brown under the surface. The
final stage of manipulation before the
skins go TO the manufacturer is reached
through the operation of really mar
velous electrical mechanism which re-
moves any undesirable stiff hairs that
might have beenleft by the first machiue.
Unfortunately, experiments which
have been made with both the common
wild rabbit and the imported Austral-
ian skins have been attended with scant
success, and only the fur of the domes-
tic variety appears to be available for
the process. The idea is not new. 1t
has been considered for many years,
but it is only through recent modilca-
tons and improvements in mechanism
rendered possible by electricity that it
has become factor to be seriously
reckoped with in the wholesale fur
business.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

COULDN'T MAKE PAPRIkA.
A Clever Literary Man Tries the
Process.


Picturesque little spots of color are
always TO be seen about this time in
the year frightening up the tall houses
in the tenement house district of the
city. These are strings of red peppers
hung from the windows to dry for win
ter use. Pepper, both green and red,
is n condiment much used by South
Americans, Spaniards, Poles, Russians,
southern Germans, all Italians, all Jews
and the Hungarians. The people of
these different races in the city will he
found. most of them, laying in their
own stock of dried peppers. i.
The Hungarians use special p.cpa-
ration of their own, which has now
been introduced into this country and
is to be found in all large groceries.
This is paprika. 1t is red pepper of a
wonderful orange-red color, which
gives salmon tinge to any dish in
which it is used. 1t has an excellent
flavor, without extreme holiness.
Paprika is not made in this country
and apparently cannot be. A cleve- lit
erary man of the Greater New York,
who has ideas in regard to the cuisine,
as many bright people have, has made
the experiment. He sent to Hungary
for the pepper seed, planted and raised
fine crop of peppers, dried them care
fully and took them to the establish
ment of a leading manufacturer OF pep
per. The man did his best, but the re-
suit was not paprika. The literary
man next notified the department of
foreign affairs that this condimen, was
imported when it should be manufac-
tured Mt home. From the department
word was sent to the American consul
at Budapest, asking him to learn the
mysteries % making paprika. Am un.

THE FIRST TUBULAR BOILER.
It Was Patented by Stevens and IL Now
In the National Museum.


There is no place in this country
where one can get so good an idea Of
all kinds of boats as can be obtained
in the National museum. Here one
sees boats of bark, boats made out
of the skins of animals, with bone and
bamboo ribs; dugout, smooth bottom,
clinker built, fiat, sharp and perfectly
round boats that resemble a tub.
The highly decorated fat-bottomed
Mississippi steamboat can be seen full
of fancy gingerbread work, with sa-
looms and staterooms piled above each
other, looking like u floating house
and suggestive of Life on the Missis-
sippi" as Mark Twain and others saw
IL.
In strong contrast to the ark-like
Mississippian are the full-rigged and
polished ocean ships, the yachts and
beautiful models of war ships and
others. These claim the attention of
thousands of visitors; but there is
more real interest shown in a small
corner where bust of robert Fulton
looks down upon things which taxed
the inventive genius of men who in
augurated the reign of steam. Here,
with coat of black paint upon it to
check the tooth of time, which has
gnawed it almost through, is tubular
boiler. This boiler was patented by
John Stevens in the United States
in 1903 and in England In 1905.

In describing, he continues: Sup

These plates are to be inclosed at each

The first patents in America were
10 Reade, Fitch, Rumsey and Stevens,
in August, 1871. Reade's was for q
portable furnace tubular boiler;
Fitch's was for driving a vessel by talk
ing water in at the bow and forcing it
out at the stern. The principle of Rum
sey's and Stevens patents was much
the same as Fitch's. = Mechanical

are still in doubt. McKinley's plurality
of the popular vote appears to be over
100000. the largest ever given presi-
Dental candidate. In Illinois Tanner

ernor by over 100000 plurality. Michi-
gan, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Indiana
also elect republican governors. The
next house will probably stand as fol-
lows: Republicans, col; democrats,

about equally divided.
