The Waist Line.

One reason why the modistes worry
so much about the disposition Of the
waist line'' Is that 'they hain't Nc
such thing" Dame Nature never made
a waist, and if the Almighty had meant
a woman to be corset-shaped He would
doubtless have made her so. The wide
corslet belt, pointed above and below
the waist line, has been very popular,
but it is only for slender women or
those who insist on considering them
selves so. The new Venus waist, ="
about which we hear so much, seems
to be fact. 1t is easily defined, an
n0unces Ellen Osborn.
A Venus waist is one which Is about
three or four inches larger than 1t was
last season. And 1t really makes the
entire figure more slender because there
is no such bullying Of displaced tissue
above and below it, as the disdguring
corset compels. They say it is very sell
dom, except in England, that one now
adays sees woman In really high So
ciety with pinched waist. As for
Paris, it was there that the idea of the
table de Milo was born.

Prize for an Essay ON Electric Heat
Ing

American electricians have beer
making great strides in the various de-
partments OF electric heating, and it is
by no means unlikely that among them
will be found competitors for the
prize of $1,000. offered by the German
HYGIENE associa ton. for an essay Oh
the efficiency of electric heaters. The
following are the terms: The heat
given out by the heaters in various
heating installations is to be ascer-
tanned. The Investigations are to be
described in detail in respect to the ar
rangement OF the heaters, the nature
of the heating agents and the observa-
tons made, and they are to he illus!
trated by drawings. The heating val
ues obtained are to be stated in units
Of heat, given of per hour per unit Of
surface. In the case Of heat given out
to air, the Investigation must be CON-
Quoted with currents of air at speeds
as different as possible. The heaters
are to be described in detail as re-
CARDS form and measurement, and the
relation Of their heating efficiency to-
their weight Is also to be ascertained.

ncostene, a New nesistance Metal.
= Some experiments have been made
with new alloy for commercial cleo
trical reslstances, which has been
called 'reostene" This alloy is the
outcome of a number Of experiments,
made with view to find ma terial of
higher specific resistance than iron,
capable Of carrying heavy currents,
and having only a moderate temporal
ure coefficient. Tests made In Man.
chester, England, are said to have been
successful. Only in the case of fine
wires which had been heated to full
red heat, could any serious change
due to current be detected. Oxidation
did not occur to any sensible extent be-
low about 250 degrees Cent. The ma
terial seems soft, and will stand con-
siderable amount OF twisting force
without injury or appreciable perma-
nent alteration in resistance. Its me-
chanical properties seem only very
slightly influenced by the passage of
current, specimens Of new wire and
wire subjected to high currents show
ing almost exactly the same strength
for loads of one-half to three fourths
the maximum carried by the wire. A
few tests made on the alteration in re-
sistance Of the material, when imbed-
ded in ire-proof cement and carry
ing large currents, also gave satisfact-
ory results, showing that when pro-
tected from oxidation the resistance is
scarcely altered by exposure to red
heat. This material should take an
important place in the electric heating
systems which are now being 50. gen.

The Lost Mine.

The story of the white cement mine
Is curious one. One day gold seeker
named White came into Horse Head Gulch,
Cal, from northern New Mexico, and took
out of his pack number of pieces OF what
looked like hard white clay glittering with
specks of metal. Before night 1t was
known in the camp that Whites specimens
showed 1000 ounces to the ton. Tho ex-
citement was intense. In the morning a
party called on the owner of the specimens
and told him that he must pilot tho men
to his find. He should have the pick of
the claims and help to work 1t, but go he
must and on his refusal was warned that
his life would not be worth shucks IL he
"stood off, the camp. Then he consented.
The trail went down and across the
Rockies. 1t led along rocky trails, up and
down canyons and across mountain orests.
On the evening of the third day White said
the miners were near to their journeys
end. Every one lay down that night ex-
pecting to arise q millionaire. In the
morning White was gone and had left no
trace. One-half OF the party, after incred-
ible suffering, got back to life and ciyiliza-
tion, and yot, despite their story, 100 men
started back over their trail two days later.
Three years after White reappeared IN
Salt Lake City with his cement specimens
as before, incredibly rich, and again disap-
peared, and from that: time to this has
never been heard of. But men still wear
out their lives in seeking this lost white
cement" mine.-Chambers' journal.

The Battle of Five Days.

To the end of his life Napoleon regarded
the strategic operations eliminating at
Eckmuhl as his masterpiece in that par

remained always of the same opinion.
French history knows this conflict as tho
battle of five days, Thanh, Abensberg,
Landshut, Eckmuhl and Ratisbon being
the places'in or near which on each day a
skirmish or combat occurred to mark the
successive stages of French victory. Pro
