DREAM PHENOMENA.
Chey Are of Great Help to Doctors In
Diagnosing Diseases.

Chey Are of Great Help to Doctors In
Diagnosing Diseases.
The physician of to-day is much less
conservative than was his predecessor
of so years ago in the matter OF leaving
the. beaten track in order to secure
certain result. Especially is this the
case in diagnostio branches of the pro-
fession, and many means of enabling
the practitioner to form true estimate
of the case before pathological,
psychic and eiectrical-have during the
last few years been added to his re-
sources. The state of the patient dur
ing sleep gives most valuable testimony
to the physician. Much of the purely
physical testimony is not difficult to
secure. but mental indications, which
often are even more important, are not
as easily arrived at. Much attention
has of late been given to this branch Of
medical diagnosis. Prof. Pheltshu, who
has devoted himself to the study of
dream phenomena, says that they are,
when ascertained, one of the greatest
helps the doctor can have. Lively
dreams are usually a sign of nervous
irritation of the brain, often in nervous
fevers announcing the approach of
favorable crisis. Frightful dreams are
caused by determination of blood to
the head. Dreams about blood and
red objects are indications of infamma-
tory conditions. Dreams about rain
and water are often signs of dis
eased mucous membranes and dropsy.
Dreams of distorted forms fire.
quently mean abdominal Instructions
and disorder of the liver. Dreams
in which the patient sees any part of
the body especially suffering indicate
diseases in that part. The nightmare,
with great sensitiveness, is associated
with determination of blood to the
chest. The range of dream indications
is being extended, but at the same time
it is recognized that it is not always
safe to take them absolutely, but that
their value to the physician must de-
pend very much on his own experience
and intelligence.

ENGAGEMENT RINGS.

Rubies Are Taking the Place of Diamonds
as 'the Correct Thing"
The most correct engagement ring to
give the dearest girl in the world is no
longer diamond solitaire but a ruby.
This will be unwelcome news for the
impecunious bridegroom, but the Jew
elers declare it is fact.
Thcruby ssupposed to be or all stones
the most lucky-a pretty legend con-
nected with the gem is that Noah was
supposed to have had ruby of marvel
Gus hrilliancy in the ark, and that the
roseate light which it emitted was suffi-
cient to illuminate the wonderful boat
until ELL danger was past.
Many of the oldest betrothal rings
were set with rubies, these stones be-
ing the acknowledged love token of
long ago.
And, speaking of ancient love tokens,
the British museum contains love let
ter which was written $500 years ago.
This is no doubt the oldest love letter in
existence, and it is also the most sub
stantial, as it was written on brick.
The letter was a proposal of marriage
for the hand of an Egyptian princess

THE JAMES LIFEBoAT.

boat is effected by means of pump
located in the engine compartment, by
which water is drawn in centrally at
the bottom of the hull, and expelled
through pipes at it's rear or front END,
according as the boat is to be propelled
forward or backward This suction OF
a powerful pump i'll the center or the
vessel is designed to materially assist
in keeping the boat steady in the wa
ter. Similar pipes also extend from
the pump to the front and rear ends
OF the floats, the vessel being steereG
either to the right or left by forcing
water through one of the pipes in one
of the sets, and the auxiliary pipes III
the floats being also used when desired
in the propulsion of the vessel for
ward or backward. Other pipes lead
to openings in the sides OF the floats,
where their discharge is directed down
ward and outward, to assist to turn the
vessel, to keep it from drifting ON to
a wreck or rocks, and to keep 1t from
capsizing when in the trough of the
sea. The pump is also connected by
suitable pipes with the various com
nartments and the interior of the
floats, to pump out water, should they
become accidentally flooded. AS the
boat has no rudder or screw propeller,
it is designed to stand the toughest
weather without being damaged or
disabled, and when the boat approaches
a wreck the platform and matches may
be readily reached by those who are
rescued the interior of the central hull
being then conveniently accessible

sneed of sound and Light.

There are several queer ways of show
ing the wonderful difference in the
speed of sound and light, but the most
remarkable is that made in the calcu-
lation which supposes both to traverse
the distance that lies between our world
and the sun. According to the calcula-
ton, which is by a well-known phil
osopher, if the sun gave forth sounds
loud enough to reach the earth they
would be IA years in travelling through
the great sea of space which separates
us from the solar systems center of
energy. On the other hand, beam of
light would flash across the same great
void and dash into our sea of atmos-
phere and finally reach the earth's sur
face only eight minutes after leaving

employed in such construction, but
they are somewhat costly. A recent
novelty in this branch of industry is
the manufacture of wrought iron in
small pieces of such shape that they
can be quickly fitted and fastened to-
gether into a truss, for use in place
of long metal Orders. The diagram.
copied from the Engineering News,
explains the idea very fully. Vertical
rods, with nuts at each end, tie the
frame together rigidly, so that stair
case thus built needs only a top and
bottom support. The "risers," or front
pieces, of each step may be of sheet
metal, and are mere covers. They do
not lend strength to the frame. The
''treads,' or horizontal pieces, are part
" of iron, but it is intended that boards
or stone slabs shall be laid thereon.
Metal stairs of the new design have
been tested, both for strength and fire
proof qualities, in Wittenberg, Saxony,
where they are being manufactured,
and have already become an article OF
merchandise.

HOW to clean Goatskin Rugs.

There are two methods of cleansing
white goatsl1in rugs. If not very much
soiled, wet a soft cloth with naphthn
and rub the hair vigorously, doing
small portion at time; then hang the
rug upon the line in the open air that
the odor may disappear. Do this work
in the daylight and have no fire in the
room while using the naphtha. II it is
necessary to wash the rug choose a
cool, windy day for the purpose Throw
hat pint of household ammonia into
a tub containing about four gallons of
water. Place the rug in the tub and
allow it to remain there about 30 min
utes; shake thoroughly in the water,
rinse carefully in lukewarm water, and
hang it in the shade in the open air.
When dry it will be found very stiff,
but may be softened by hard rubbing
and combing with the fingers Gus

TREES AND SHRUBS.
Much Damage Is Done to Them by Ele'
trio Wires.

Much Damage Is Done to Them by Elec-
trio Wires.
In France great care is taken in locat-
ing the wires that carry high-tension
electric currents, whether used for
light or for power, but in America the
thing is done more simply. No one
bothers himself about what is to
be found at the side Of the wire,
and it passes among the branches OF
trees and across thickets unconscious
Of the damage that it may do.
Now, in many towns it has been re-
marked that the trees crossed by the
current dwindle and die. 1t has also
been observed that the death of these
trees invariably follows the rainy sea-
son. The leaves being soaked with mois-
ture, become good conductors, and lead
the current down into the trees from
the wire The wires, to be sure, have
been insulated, but the protective layer
has been quickly destroyed by the
friction of the branches, and the line
becomes bare, producing thus results
that it would have been well to avoid.
And the electricity is the only thing
that can be accused of this. It suffices
10 convince ones self to compare the
conditions of the trees traversed by
the wires with that of the neighboring
trees. It has often been noticed that
in storm all the trees though which
wires pass die in few hours, while the
surrounding ones are not touched.
This is a very serious source of COM
plaint and causes some lawsuits

SPIDERS III THE AIR.
A Single Line Serves Them In the Place
of Wings.

Oh WINGS
In a communication to knowledge
en- Spiders" Rev. Samuel Barber dis
cusses at some length the phenomenon
of the flotation line, and its method OF
attachment, which is the foundation OF
the spiders web. Is it not evident, asks
the reverend gentleman, that aIr-and
probably at high temperature-must
be inclosed within the meshes of the
substance forming the line when it
passes from the spinnerets into the at
mosphere? The creature with this
substance lifts it into the air. 1t has
been usual to explain the ascent by the
kite principle, namely, the mechanical
force of the contiguous atmosphere.
but air movements, especially on
small scale, are so capricious and un-
comfortable that without a directive
force the phenomena seem quite mex
plicable.
In support of this theory of direct
propelling force, Mr.. Barber gives some
of his own observations. Writing one
day with two sheets of quarto before
him, he saw a small spider on the paper,
and in order to test its power of pass
ing through the air he held one of the
sheets of paper about foot from thai
on which the creature was running. 1t
assembled to the edge and vanished, but
in a moment it landed upon the other
sheet through midatr in a horizontal
direction, and picked up the thread as
it advanced. In this case there was TO
air movement to facilitate, nor any time
to throw a line upward, which, indeed,
would not have solved the difficulty. On
another occasion, at dinner party in
Kent, four candles were lighted on the
table, when a thread was seen to be
strung from the tip of one of the light
ed candles and attached TO another
about yard off, and all the four lights
were connected in this way and that by
a web drawn quite tight.
The only explanation which Mr.. Bar
her can suggest for this remarkable
occurrence is that the spinner was sus-
pended first by vertical line from
above, and thus swaye6 itself to and
fro, from tip to tip of the candles. It
was certain the spider could not have
assembled from the table, and it was
equally certain that aerial fotation of
the line from fixed point was impos-
sible, as it involved floating in four OPP
posite directions. The rapidity with
which the initial movements in form
ing a web are made cannot be recon
eiled with any theory of a simple at
mospheric convection, and propulsion
appears the only explanation.

If Ships Were a Mile Long.

The Austrian naval architect, c. A.
Gagstatter, las defined the limitation
of the rule that the longer a vessel the
better she is for speed and carrying Gu
pacity. If steamer could be built one
mile long and about go feet wide with
ample motive power, she could I'M
doubtedly attain fabulous speed. Only
one-thirteenth part of her length would
have to overcome the waters inertia,
while the rest of the vessel would only
experience surface friction. But such
q vessel, he knows, involves a danger

posed to enormous strains, and is Ii

genuine economy to use the very mar
row strips of Georgia pine, but if
this must be put aside for the cheaper
woods, the strip should never exceed
three inches in width. With prices for
material and labor as reasonable as
they are at present, there are few who
cannot afford the luxury of finer floor

of rugs and art squares for the din

planks have warped out of shape, and
others are so loose that every football
is accompanied by dismal creaking.
Excellent artisans and honest work
men as were our forefathers, they
could have learned much from this
careless and commercial generation of
the science Of floor laying. No other
part of the house received such con-
slant and severe use of the floors, and
so it is the veriest truism to say that
to none should more care and atten-
ton be given. We have ceased alto
gether to use the matched boards Of
extra width for flooring, except in the
very cheapest of houses, and the in
crease in expense that comes from the
use of narrow boards is SO inconsider-
able that it should cut no figure with
