PLAN FOR REACHING THE POLE

An entirely new scheme looking to
aerial navigation and flight has beeI
suggested by A. w. Nitsch of Boston
1t is such ad ecided departure from the
propositions heretofore advanced for
utilizing the atmosphere for purposes of
transit as to command serious atten-
tion from scientists and others to whom
ii has been presented
1t Is the idea Of Mr. Nitsch that the
subtle magnetic attraction that holds
the needle of the mariners compass
with unswerving fidelity to the north
can be Utilized in magnified form for
mans convenience, profit and pleasure.
Accepting the theory advanced that
vast deposits of magnetic ore exist in
the immediate vicinity of the North Pole
and from there come the magnetic cur
rents distributed over the globe, and that
1t is the attraction of this thus far un-
bounded field that draws with magic
power the needle of the compass, there
is nothing, as Mr.. Nitsch looks at it, to
prevent its being made of real service.
Il believe" said he, that magnets
could be suspended in the air of suf-
fcient force to counteract the resistance
of the air, overcome the adverse cir
rents and move more or less RAPIDLY
toward the north" Mr.. Nitsch saws
that 1t might not prove possible but it
was open to argument and experiment,
ana there was no telling what might
come of it. AS to the methods of return.
should such flight as pictured ever be
taken, that was spoken of as problem
that would be solved quickly.-Chicago

SWEEPING WITH AIR.

One of the greatest aids to the modern
housekeeper is the pneumatic. sweeper,
This surprising new invention, which
nobody seems to claim the honor of hav-
ing discovered, and which is, therefore
open to all manufacturers, relegates the
broom to the garret and takes the place
of the mechanical carpet sweeper which
few years ago was thought to be per
fection.
All that is necessary to fit the pneu-
matte sweeper to any hotel or private
house is pipe connection for COM
pressed air When pneumatic sweepers
have completely won their way pneuma
tic tubes may be carried into every house
from a main in the street, as is now
done with gas and water.
With such a connection the whole
house could be cleaned from cellar to
garret in few hours and the labor of
several servants could be dispensed with.
The pneumatic sweeper can even be ap-
piled to busting the furniture.
The new sweeper consists simply of a
long nozzle attached to the end of rub
ber hose. The nozzle is about the same
size as a broom handle.
One end Of this pipe is inserted into

READ FOR OTHER PEOPLE.
Men Who Ransack Libraries for the
Benefit of Other People.


Visitors to the Astor library have
observed that certain persons appear
there with great regularity, and two
or three faces appear to be as perman ent
feature Of the place as the busts and
white columns. These regulars are there
at all times of the day and at all seasons
of the year. One man in particular
seems to spend all his tirne within the
walls of the library
A man whose work on certain sub
ject took him regularly to the library
made an effort to see what subject was
absorbing the attention of one visitor
whom he had noticed at work whenever
he had been in the library during the two
years preceding. For a month he OBJ
served the man and found that during
that time he had been reading indus
triously volumes relating to four differ
ent subjects and making copious notes
from them. He did not look like a man
who was reading for the purpose of gen.
eral cultivation, and the books he had
been reading varied as widely in sub
ject as the history OF the Spanish drama
and the Chinese metaphysics.
The hopelessness of learning ANYTHING
about the mans occupation from his
own observation led the interested in
quirer to ask one of the library officials
who the regular visitor was Then he
learned that the fellow, like many of
the others he had often noticed at work
IN the library. was a regular reader en-
ployed to do for others the reading and
investigating necessary for particular
worry. Usually this man and Others
like him are called upon to dig out only
the points relating to certain phases
of subject, but often their work ex
tends over much wider range. They
are known to the officials of the libra
ry. and in this way they are brought
into contact with persons who are look
ing about for somebody to undertake
the required labor of reference and read
ing.-New York Sun.

ARCHBISHOP TEMPLE

Now that DR.. Temple has been ap-
pointed to the see of Canterbury, the an
ecdotists will soon be busy with his
name. AS there are good many stories
current about the bishop of London,
most of them not too complimentary to
his reputation for urbanty. A charac-
teristic story, which also happens to be
true. may be told of the way in which
the rather terrible bishop, as his clergy
in London regarded him, was bearded by
one ofthe hest known of metropolitan
prebendaries. The latter went to see DR..
Temple shortly after his elevation to the
see, and was shown into the bishop 5
study. where the bishop was sitting at
a table writing. The visitor stood and
waited while the bishop made no sign
that he was aware of his presence. At
last the lesser light emitted sparks in
the shape of few huns and haws. The
bishop looked up What do you want 2"
he asked, with some asperity. 'I want
chair. replied the other, rather loudly
and ferociously. After that the interview
proceeded amicably enough-St. James

THE NEW PARIS coIFFURE

1t is difficult to make up ones mind as
to the becoming, or otherwise, qualities
of this seasons millinery, but it is very
certain that the newest paris models
will not show to good advantage unless
welded to strictly Partisan modes of
hairdressing, for many of the prettiest
winter hats, especially those of velvet,
assume a markedly top-heavy appear
ance when poised over the loosely waved
locks we have grown accustomed to ad-
mire and almost universally adopt.
In Paris the coiffure of the moment is
an apparently simple arrangement of
the hair high up at the back of the head
with no loose curls showing under the
hat. but instead quaint, wide. tortoise
smell clasp, which extends from side to
side, and thus forms sort of sup
port for millinery masterpieces Only
to very few English faces is this mode
becoming, and it will probably strike
doubt into the hearts of English women
possessed of small, well-shaped heads.

GENTLEWOMEN AS SERVANTS

The question of gentlewomen acting
as servants Is once again cropping up,
but there is a great deal to be said on
both sides of the argument. Girls in
their own homes might without loss of
dignity and with a great deal of benefit
to their health make beds, dust rooms,
polish furniture, make cakes and sweets
and enter personally into other domestic
details, but a gentlewoman would not
find it congenial to her surroundings
and her education to black boots and
stoves, wash stone steps, clean waG-
dows and do all the hard brushing Gud
scrubbing without which no house is
really pure and sweet. Meanwhile it
is really satisfactory to learn thai as
nurses gentlewomen, when trained, are
in greater demand than ever. The care
and training of little children are evil
IDENTIFY, even in these advanced days,
still regarded as useful, noble work for
women; the work itself is wholesome
and easy, and the pay, compared to that
of nursery governess, very good in
deed.-London Figaro,
