Reading the Newspaper.

"What newspaper reading people we
are!" said Mr. Collin. cit seems as
though everybody reads newspapers In
an elevated car the other day l saw a
little child less than year old which
was reading a newspaper or which
seemed to be. The father had been read
ing the paper really, but the baby, sit
ting ON its fathers knee, had clutched
at it, and finally the father placed it in
the child's little hands, and it sat there,
holding the paper in front Of itself, and
looking at it soberly, and now and then
looking up at its father, and ali this so
pleased gentleman with gray mus
tache, who sat opposite, that when he
got up to go out he chuclicd the baby
gently under the chin and smiled at it
as he passed. New York Sun.

ATOMS OF ELECTRICITY.
Calculation Ghat Seems Incomprehensible
to the Average Intelligence.

to the Average Intelligence.
Have you any idea what IAN atom of
electricity" would look, feel, taste or
smell like? In short, have you a mind
that is capable of imagining what such
an infnitesimal division of tine incom-
prehensible fluid" would be? We think
not. The writer has spent his life "delv-
ing in the realms of the wonderful, y
vet he is free to confess that he has no
more of an idea what an atom of elcc-
tricity would be than he has of what Is
to be understood by the words Soul
and eternity" But there are those
who have been spending hours, days and
weeks exploring and investigating in the
bottomless ocean Of electrical mysteries,
and who have arrived at some startling
conclusions That such q thing as IAN
atom of electricity" exists has been be-
lieved III by number Of eminent cleo
tricians and philosophers, among them
the honored Helmholtz and our own
Thomas A. Edison.
Working on the theories advanced by
the former, Professor RicharZ, a well
known European investigator, has made
some experiments in that line that have
startled even the electricians-menw who
come in daily contact with things of the
most wonderful nature. According to
recent determination Of Professor Rich
arr, the smallest possible quantity of
electricity-that which may properly be
termed "an atom''-is such that 430
multiplied by 1000, 900 three times
that is to say, by the cube Of LOCO, 900
will give the number of atoms i'll a
coulomb of electricity. Louis Re

SCIENTIFIC HITTING PAYS.
spalding Tells Eow lie Was Able TO
Pince the Ball Anywhere.

Before I joined tie Boston Red
Stockings" said \. G.. Spalding re-
Gently, II used to go up TO the bat with
the sole object in view Of hitting the
ball from the shoulder as hard as l
could without any idea as to what part
Of tic field it would so or on the
ground CT in the air. All 1 thought Of
was to knock it cut Of the lot, as the
BOYS say. Dut 1 soon found that there
was something more i'll batting than
that. I think I got my first idea Of
what batting should be from defending
my wicket il cricket when we went to
England on that baseball tour III 1874.
At any rate, got into the habit Of try
ing to place the ball, instead of hitting
at random, ard from that time L real
lied that to try to tap the ball to right
field over the heads of the infielders
and short Of the catching reach of the
outfelders was about the right caper.
'Thc new method of handling the
bat, / remember, came to me all of a
sudden. | had been for some months
batting very poorly while hitting from
the shoulder, q base hit being the result
in about eight of ten times at the bat,
and even less One day l thought /
would try something different, and, get
ting some one to pitch swift balls to me,
went i'll for tapping them to right field
so that they would fall safe, and after
few trials up went my batting average
of base hits at jump, and especially
did my hitting prove useful when ruiz
ners were on the bases. The boys be-
gan to want me to follow them at the
bat, because I hit so as to bat them
round toward home. Then it was that
I first practically realized that swift
ly pitched ball to the bat which was
Just tapped by the bat-that is, hit
lightly, but not like 'bunt'-would go
to the field, sharp from the bat, with
surprising speed besides which, could
govern its direction better than it was
possible in hitting it from the shoulder,
as before.
Talking of swift pitching, contin-
ued Mr.. Spalding, FUSED to think that
we old time pitchers could send in a
pretty speedy ball under the rule OF the
underhand throw, but none of US ever
equaled the speed of the cyclone pitch
ing of the present time which comes
from the regular overland throw. Then,
too, with all our practice, we could not
command the ball in delivery, as is pos
siblo in overland throwing. New

TEETH MAKE MANY Ills.
The Evils Which Follow Imperfect Mas-
ticntion Nav BE Avoided,

''It would take too long to enumerate
the MY ills which may spring from
imperfeo5 teeth, said DR.. Derby. "Of
course cnc who has good teeth knows
their value, but not enough people know
what to do to keep them always i'll prop
or condition. Neither can you tell ore
just what is necessary at all times. The
removal Of all foreign substances from
any contact with the dentine is Of course
the primary necessity in considering the
preservation of the teeth.
Zone of the first reasons why one
should have perfect teeth is the indu-
encc they exert over the digestion. To
secure proper assimilation the process of
mastication should be thorough. Moth
ing less will accomplish the results in
tended. If this process is incomplete,
all the attendant evils Of indigestion are
likely to follow. Thus the question of
health is interposed as a primary one.
Freedom from aches and pains and ap-
pearance take secondary places.
"Of the many forms of neuralgia
which cause such excruciating suffering
great many owe their existence entire
ly to the prescnse of faulty teeth. They
can be rcmedied only by the proper
treatment of the diseased roots. When
this is done, u number of nervous disor-
ders respond readily to the ordinary
medical treatment. Toothache, pure and
simple, must be considered as an attend
ant of improperly cared for teeth. 1t is
an old saying that the man who finds
IN absolute remedy for and preventive
of toothache will make big fortune.
''Of course the primary instruction
to one who is suffering from bad teeth is
to see Il dentist The exposed surface Of
the teeth, the enamel, must be kept per-
feet and whole. Any breaks i'll it must
be Immediately repaired and any wear
ing away or decaying of the structure
must be built up if one expects to Sc
cure all the perfect results for which
the teeth were designed by nature. Con-
slant brushing and cleaning and any
good nonacid wash will do much to
keep the teeth in good repair.
"Of course you know the story of the
man who, when his teeth were admired,
gave the following reasons for their per-
feet condition: l always brush them,
night and morning and after eating,
and leave them in glass OF salt water

"PERlOD" ROOMS.
Being Dissertation on the Prevalent Form
of Torture by Furniture.

One of the compensations of the i'm
pccunious is to watch the keen discom-
fort the rich experience i'll their efforts
to spend their fortunes. Great is the joy,
therefore Of the poor woman as she
watches her sister, wife of one Cr9sus,
convert her house into museum of
"rooms of periods "
1t would be saddening if it were not
infinitely comic to hear of the trials of
one multimillionaire who is always
keenly uncomfortable i'll his Greek
drawing room because he can never find
book there The Greeks, You see, did
not have monthly magazines lying on
their parlor tables. Accordingly the
good gentleman's wife, architect and
furnisher have impressed upon him the
necessity of not spelling the perfect
Athenian atmosphere Of the apartment
by the introduction Of un-Athenlan fea-
lures such rs literature In its zeal for
complete harmony the powerful trium-
virate has not yet issued an order for
bidding the master of the house to enter
his drawing room except when clad i'll
the Greek chlamys, but that is because
even architects, furnishers and wives do
not dare to be wholly consistent. Mean
time the multimillionaire escapes from
his Gothic library and thinks how i'll
appropriate it is to read Dickens under
q medieval archcd ceiling and by the
light from a cathedral glass window.
Only multimillionaires, fortunately,
have the wealth necessary to make
themselves completely uncomfortable
by Greek and Gothic rooms. But the
ordinary, plain millionaire has enough
money to be made fairly miserable by
Louis Quinze or Louis Seize drawing
rooms, old Dutch reproductions i'll the
line of dining rooms and bare colonial
Railways. Comparatively small riches
will go long way toward making
family miserable once the room fever
has entered into the veins of the fam
ily's presiding genius. Good American
women of mixed ancestry and heavy
weight have felt exceeding discomfort
in apartments furnished i'll spindle leg
ged, gilt chairs belonging to the period
of French king Of unhallowed men,
ory. What does it profit Il woman TO
furnish her room with the most perfect
consistency if she herself must always
be IN inharnonious note i'll 1t: Why
should the lover of good roast beef and
large, inviting armchairs have to wan
der hopelcssly about Il room set with the
straight, harp backed chairs Of colonial
days, when repose was frowned upon
and roast beef was none too plenty?
After all one must live more on less
at home, even if one has money i'll
abundance. And why should home be a
succession Of rooms furnished after mod
els set by other lands and other times:

Some idea Of the saltness of the wa
tiers of the Dead sea may be gained
from the comparison made below. The
Dead sea is situated III Palestine, 20
miles east of Jerusalem. 1t is 30 miles
long and from 10 to Is miles wide, with
an average depth of 90 fathoms (12O

but 80 parts of salt to the l, 900. That
of the Dead sea contains $50 parts to the
