Noses and Character.

In spite of the important place given
to the nose as an index of character,
there is but little to be learned from
it in estimating the causes of an in
nate bond between the mind and the
features. Most of the correspondence
which have been remarked appear to
be of radical order, but why Roman
nose first became associated with war
like and domineering disposition, or
how long and thin nose became linked
with business prudence, is more than
can say. If we emit the changes which
take place in nose during the lifetime
of its possessor there is scarcely nasal
popularity of value to the physiog-
nomist. which at the same time is CO.'S
mopolitan. No Tartar or Hottentot,
however warlil<e. could give proof of
it in this way. Japan has shown that
she possesses plenty of men with mill
tary aptitude. but no Washingtonian
nose can be found within her borders.

even Luray caverns, situated where

POWER OF MACHINERY.
A Big Ship Has the Equivalent of Ill.,
900 Men ut Work.

A Big Ship Has the Equivalent Of Ill.,
900 Men at Work.
Speaking of prime movers before the
Association for the Advancement of
Science, at London, several years ago.
Sir Frederick Bramwell drew up an in
teresting picture of the puny thing that
muscular power, whether animal or
human. really was when compared with
the vast efforts exerted nowadays by
machinery. Contrasting a galley. for
example-a vessel propelled by oars
with a modern Atlantic liner, and as
suming that prime movers were nom
existent and that the vessel was to be
propelled after galley fashion, he pro-
ceeded thus: Take the length of the
vessel as GOO feet, and assume that place
could bt found for as many as 400 oars
men OH each side, e3c Oh oar worked ny
three men. or 2, 400 men, and allow that
six men under these conditions could
develop work equal 20 one horse power.
We should have then 400 horse power.
Double the number of men and we
should have 500 horse power, with 1880
men at work, and at least the same num-
Der in reserve if the journey is to be car
ried on continuously. Contrast the
puny result thus obtained with 1880
horse power given forth by a large
prime mover of the present day, such
power requiring. on the above mode Of
calculation, 117.00O men at work and
1000 in reserve. and these to be car
ried in a vessel less than 600 feet in
length. Even if it were possible to carry
this number of men in such a vessel,
by no conceivable means could their
power be utilized so as to impart to it q
speed of 20 knots an hour.
This illustrates how prime mover
may not be mere substitute for mus
cular work. but may afford the means
of attaining an end that could not Ivy
any possibility be attained by muscular
exertion, no matter what money was ex-
pended or what galley slave suffering
was inflicted. Take again the case of
railway locomotive. in which we have
from 400 to GOO horse power developed
in an implement which, even including
it's tender. does not occupy an area of
more than 50 square yards and that can
draw US GO miles an hour. Here again
the prime mover succeeds in doing that
which no expenditure of money or of
life could enable us to obtain from mus
cular effort.-Cassier's Magazine.

SOMETHING ABOUT cHIMNEYs.

SmoAo Escaped Through Holes In Roofs
seven Centuries Ago.
"Speaking about chimneys, they are
net very old, when you think of other
thin gs," building contractor re-
marked, breaking into descrip-
ton Of a new building. "They
were not in use in England before
the 18th century. In early times, you
know, people allowed the smoke to
escape through ventilators, as we would
call them, in the roofs, just as the In
dams allow smoke to escape through
holes at the tops of tents.
According to the custom then, the
braziers were placed in the center OF
the hall, so that the smoke and fumes
could rise. In some of the chambers OF
castles that were built in the early part
of the 18th century may be seen fire.
places but no chmneys. The freplaces
have semi-circular backs and seni-cir-
cular arches over the openings. Where
they project little distance from the
wall the fues run up the wall few feet
and then outward. The outer open
ings are small oblong holes. It must
have been a queer sight to see smoke
coming out of the side of castle all the
time. How they managed to create
draught is more than know. wonder
whether the jewellers in fats would
growl more if we made ireplaces that
way.
"The rooms then must have been
smoky, because in the next century the
people tried to get rid of the smoke by
extending the tlues up to the tops of
the walls. In the 14th century the
chimneys were usually very short.
Later they were circular and of great
height. Perhaps when some of the
tops were blown off the people discov-
cred that the draught was sufficient
with them lower. In the course of time
the builders changed the forms of Chin
neys and gave them some ornamental
ton. The short chimneys were termi-
mated frequently by low pinnacles with
outlets for the escape of smoke. Tall
chimneys were square, octagonal or
circular and were surmounted by
cornices, forming capitals, the smoke Is
suing from the tops. Toward the close
of the 18th century clustered chimney
shafts appeared, it is said. Later, they
were more common and were frequently
highly ornamented.
by using terra-cotta in connection
with brick nowadays it is possible for
an architect to get rid of some Of the
ugliness of a chimney and make it a
part of the ornamentation of the roof.
The time may come when houses can be
heated cheaply by the use of electricity.
Then we can 60 back to the style OF
not having chimneys, except at the sta
ticrs where the current is generated.
