An Effect of bot weather.

One Of the effects of the severe heat of
the first three days of the week was the
enforced suspension of work in the laun
driss. Patrons who have called for their
linen have been informed that it was
simply impossible for the help to work
and that delivery of the clothes would
have to be delayed.

A Correction,

The statement in Thursdays PRESS
in regard to the effect of the heat at the

men in the foundry only ceased work.
Their employers felt that their request to
cease was reasonable, and willingly ac-

A WhaIeback CURRENCY.

According to the Leicester Eng.) Mid
land Free Press, whalebone promises to
become one of the most valuable COM
modities of commerce, and before the
next century is very old it may become
as highly priced as gold. 1t may then be
the means of settling for ever the mo-
nometallist and bimetallist controversies
by abolishing both, and making the SUBJ
stitut.on of whalebone currency posi-
BILE, for there is no chance of an over
supply of that article, and it is quite evil
dent that it cannot be initiated. Numer-
Gus attempts have been made to simulate
it, but none have been successful. Not
very many years ago whalebone could be
purchased for f4OO ton. At the end of
last season the price was $4,000. Today
it is about $4,000, and before Christmas
it may be higher still. for the Greenland
fishing this summer has not proved an
immense success. At this price an old
gingham, of which the whalebone ribs
were generally about half an inch square,
would prove a very handsome legacy,
much more valuable than gold-mounted
but steel-ribbed umbrella of the present
day. A collection of the old articles
might form small fortune

DEAD SHOW BEASTS.

There is Likely to be More or LESS Sal
wage When a Menagerie Animal Dies.
When an animal dies in a menagerie
it is not likely to be a total loss. The
skin is usually of some value, and in the
case of some animals as, for instance, the
lion or the tiger, it may be of very con-
siderable value. The value of any skin
depends largely upon it's condition, and
it's condition may determine whether
the skin should be mounted as rug or as
a showpiece. The manner of mounting
skin might also be Influenced in some
measure by the state of the market at the
moment. There might be a greater de-
mand for rugs of the skin of some ami
mails, or a greater demand for such ami
mails mounted as showpieces. The me-
nagerie owner sends the skin to the taxi
dermist and has it mounted perhaps as
a rug for his own use, or as an animal to
be added to the menagarie museum, Or to
be sold as a rug or as a furrier's show
piece. In any event when an animal dies
there is likely to be more or less salvage.

DANGER IN ROENTGEN RAYS.
An Experimenter Loses Five of His Fir
ger Nails.

An LxperImenter Loses Five of His Fin
ger Nails.
A warning has been voiced by one of
the leading English medical journals in
regard to the too frequent use of the
Roentgen ray apparatus, says the Phila-
delphia Ledger.
1t is interesting no doubt, to obtain a
series of photographs of ones own
skeleton, but if. this is to be at the ex-
pense of such trif1es as ones hair and
ones finger nails, it seems hardly worth
the cost. One electrical engineer, who
has often demonstrated the beauty of his
nands within the radius of the searching
rays, has lost all the nails from the
fingers of that hand, while Mr.. Sidney
Rowland, who is one of the leading
eXperimenters in this direction, men
tlons several cases of similar charac-
ter IN the structural changes that occur
in the hair, and so forth. of those who
have been frequently shadowgraphed by
TINS method. Thus. in the case of pa
TENTS whose heads have been subjected
to the influence of the rays, the hair has
either turned white or has fallen out en-
tirely. 1t is suggested that these re-
suits are due to the electrical potency Of
what are called the ultra violet rays of
the spectrum, though their precise action
is at present by no means thoroughly I'M
derstood.
One curious suggestion has already
been made. 1t is a well-known supersti-
ton. and one which has existed for gen
erations, that people who sleep in the
direct rays of the moon have their rea-
son more or less seriously affected. Now
it is said that these ultra violet rays eX-
list in the moonlight, and hence a popu-
lar superstition may be founded upon
scientific fact.

'sAs LONG AS A FLOUR BARREL. -
A Test of the Old Saying Concerning the
Length of a Horses Head.


It is probable that at first thought
most persons would be inclined to doubt
the accuracy of the old saying that a
horses head is as long as a flour barrel.
Flour barrels vary somewhat in length.
Some are made stouter and shorter, some
slender and little higher. An average
flour barrel is about twenty-nine inches
in height.
A man to whom the old saying was IA
miliar made up his mind the other day
to see for himself just how near right
it was, and he measured the heads of
three horses. One of these horses was
said to have rather large head for its
size; it wasn't very big horse. This
horses head, exclusive of the ears meas
ured % inches in length. The heads of
the two other horses, which were horses
of fair average size, with average heads,
measured, one, q inches, the other 27115
inches. So that this investigator discov-
cred that the old saying was substanti-
ally true-New York Sun.
