my company. you see. bother me. and make fun
OF me because I haven't any beard. and since I
can't shave out OF doors. like Drouot, I have TO do
this to show those old fellows that I'm no moro

Latest Deuble-Bottom Cake Pan.

The latest cake or pie pan is made
with a double bottom. The pan itself
is all in one piece Of pressed tin, while
the extra bottom is removable. The
use of the double bottom forms a va.
3cuum which keeps the bottom and
sides Of the cake or pie free so there
is no use Of using grease or paper, mol
is a knife necessary to remove it from
the pan after baking. It is therefore

<scorch or break the cake to remove il
from the pan. There Is a simple ar.
rangement for removal which is moi
found in any other pan ever made, and
that is by an upright wire handle fas.
tened into the center Of the upper disk
BY gently lifting by this handle the
cake easily detaches from the side Of
the pan and is lifted out whole. 1t car
then be cut right on the disk as desired
without disturbing the cake. The

pan, which makes it an Improvements

The Forest Reserves.

There has been a. long contest be-
tween the two houses Of congress over
an amendment which the senate add
ed to the sundry civil appropriation
bill to abrogate President Cleyeland's
orders of Feb. 20, blishing thirteen
new forest reserves. The two reserva-
lions in California were excluded
from the operation Of the senate
amendment, but as to the other eleven
the amendment would have restored
them all to the public domain for sale
and settlement. The house would
not agree to this, and compromise
was reached, under which the orders
were suspended until March 1898.
After that date such lands as are not
disposed of are to come under the or
.ders, or such notifications of them as
the President may make.

6 Manufactured Fuel.

The question of cheap fuel is a most
important and vital one to all per-
sons Of moderate means, as well as to
large consumers. To be able to use
what has heretofore been waste ma
terial is the object Of great deal OF
scientific study and research. Already
a number Of sorts of fuel have been
prepared, and in countries where coal
is high and scarce this prepared ma
terial is quite extensively used and
gives very good satisfaction. The pro-
cesses have become so scientific that
it is guaranteed to contain a certain
percentage Of heat-prod ucing elements
and waste. The coal is washed and
cleaned from all slate and other i'm
purities and the available combust-
ible material is increased as much as
possible. The Importance Of the con-
centration Of valuable qualities is tot
great moment where the fuel must be
transported and handled. The ex-
tent which the fuel is manu-
featured and used may be seen from
the following statistics for the year
1898: France, 100000 tons; Belgium
1,200,0 900 tons; England, So, 1000 tons;
Austria, 25O,00O tons; Germany, $780,
900 tons; Italy, $50 900 tons; Spain, 10O,-
O00; Russia and Sweden, 100, 900 tons;
United States, 100, 900 tons; Chinac, In.
dia and Canada, $50 900. z

a Curious Boat.

A curious boat, which goes equally
well on land, water, ice and snow, has
been designed by Mr.. Rasmus Ander-
son. The machine was originally in
vented for Arctic exploration, as
substitute for boats and sledges, but
can also be built as a life boat and
yacht, and ocean steamer. This boat,
it is said, cannot sink or capsize UNI
der any condition, and it can be pro-
PEELED by the hands or feet AS a life
boat it would be very practical, as it
could be launched from dry land, and
also run up on any beach without in

can be run off the deck with the small
