Nearly GOO Chinese immigrants are en-

ed States under the joint resolution of
congress relating to foreign exhibits at
the Nashville exposition. A party of 179
has already been admitted under that res-
olution, another of ia is held at Tacoma
pending an inquiry into their case, and the
treasury department has received infor-
nation that 300 more are on their way to
San Francisco. where they will claim the
right of entrance as artisans. performers
and laborers engaged for the Chinese ex-
hibit After a conference it has been de-
cided that the number admitted shall not
exceed 20, which leaves room for only
seVenty-one more. The Chinese no doubt
concluded they could take advantage of
the exposition to get into the United
States, and perhaps remain by escaping
detection when it is over. But even those
who are admitted, and who come within
the provisions of the exclusion act, will
be closely watched and sent back when
their mission here is concluded.

10 a GOOD oLp AGE.


Many of the Dvvellers I'm the CaucasuR
Live to BE Centenarians.
Last year an old peasant named Ivan
Kouzmin was reported to have Travelled
from Moscow to Kief at the age Of 140.
He was said to be in good health, says
London Lancet. He had formerly been
coachman tc Count Sheremetief, but In
1910 was sent to Siberia, where he spent
81 years, returning in 1894. His is not
the only instance In which a Siberian
exile has survived to extreme old age.
Two years ago there was said to have
died in Samara one Lavarenhl Efmoff,
who had attained the age Of $50. Ac-
eording to the newspaper reports of
him he took part as a boy in the famous
Pugatchef rebellion In the reign of
Catherine the Great, and for his share
in that brief but sanguinary outbreak
spent 80 years of his life in Siberia. Re-
Gently there was said to be living in
the village of Vank (Saratof govern
ment) an Armenian aged ITO, the proud
ancestor of 81 descendants, of whom
II were still living. His name was
David Kazarian. Another Armenian,
a priest named TERN ikaeliantz, was re-
ported not long ago to be living at
Gori, In the Caucasus, at the age Of 108.
He was still able to walk to church and
once year performed the liturgy. II
recent history in the Turkish empire
continues to repeat itself such instances
Of longevity among Armenians seem
likely to become rare.

dairy breed, being affected with the
tuberculosis scare. This scare has led to
the importation of Simmenthaler and
Norman cattle into the country, which
is well enough, variety being a good
thing But we are particularly we'll
pleased to record that the tuberculosis
fad is dying ont. Nine-tenths of it was
only scare to begin. The other tenth,
which may have been real, was brought
about by stuffing, inbreeding and con-
filming the poor little Jersey to force her
to make record for fairs and shows.
That is the truth and nothing else.
Breeders are returning to good sense
with the little Jersey. The Guernsey
COW has kept on her steady way, with
her larger body, more robust build, rich,
yellow, natural colored butter and COM
parative freedom from tuberculosis.
Those who invest in Guernsey dairy
cattle seldom change them for any other
breed. Guernseys are good enough for
them.
The first illustration shows one of the
best known old Guernsey bulls in this
country. 1t is picture of Lord Stan
ford, the champion Guernsey at the
Worlds fair. The dairy type is here no
less powerfully marked than in case of
the Jersey bull, but the Guernsey is
rounder and larger. 1t may be observed,
however, that the Guernsey bull is not
whit better tempered than the Jersey.
In size the Guernsey COW is half way

ed on top of vertical rod. Attached to
each side of this vane is bell-shaped
sound-receiver, from which tube leads
downward into a cabin below deck.
The man who is using the apparatus
wears simple headgear that applies
the end of one tube to one of his ears,
and the end of the other tube to his
other ear, yet leaving his hands free
Now, If a foghorn in the vicinity be To-
Gated off on the starboard bow, the ear
trumpet on the right side of the vane
will catch the sound. and the other one
will not; whereas, If the source of the
signal be on the port bow, the left ear
will get it exclusively, or else more
easily than the right. OF course, if
the sound comes from point dead
ahead both ears will detectit. The rod
which carries the vane may be rotated
by the observer, who can thus ascertain
the exact position which gives the right
ear the loudest noise, and then do the
same with the left ear. Having noted
these directions with precision, he
knows that the signal really comes from
direction halfway between them.
The position of an iceberg could be de-
tected in the'same manner, inasmuch as
it would give an echo. When the co.
phone was first tested the whistling of
the wind around the edges of the re-
ceivers would make noise enough to in
terfere with the use of the instrument.
subsequently, it was found that by COW
ing the openings with thin silk that
difficulty could be overcome without
shutting out the class of sounds which
it is desirable to hear.-N. Y. Tribune.

HOW TO FREEZE BOTTLES.

test tube, the other two are for the adj
mission of two glass tubes. The inlet
tube passes to the bottom of the flask,
AID the exit one passes only short dis
tnce through the cork. The flask is par
TALLY filed with ether. and the sample
to be examined Is placed in the test
tube together with thermometer. Air
is now forced into the flask by the in
let tube and made to bubble through
the ether, whereby it exposes a large
surface for evaporation, and, as this
takes place very rapidly, the latent heat
of the sample. Instead of forcing the
air through the inlet tube, the exit may
be attached to Sprengel pump and the
air sucked through. To prevent the
waste of ether as far as possible, it is
preferable to attach the exit tube to a
condenser through which water is rum
ming, and to wash the air sucked
through by means of cold water in wash
bottle; this water will, on subsequent
warming, yield a small quantity OF
ether, but the larger proportion is kept
back by the condenser.

bottles in use during the past summer,
and found no difficulty in maintaining
a temperature of -4 degrees to Is de-
grees G. for longer period, even dur
ing the hottest weather. and If the test
tubes were filed with water it. was

4 GREAT DISCOVERY.
the Substitution of Light Rays for an
Electric Current.

The Substitution of Light Rays for an
Electric Current.
Prof. Alexander Graham Bell is said
to be working out newly discovered
principle, the substituting light rays
for On electric current and a telephone
wire. It has been found that when
selenium is subjected for some time to
q heat of 10 degrees and cooled slowly
fits electrical qualities vary with the
intensity Of light to which it Is exposed.
A specimen when exposed to diffused
daylight showed resistance of 600
phms. In the dark the resistance was
1900 ohms.
When talking through an ordinary
telephone the voice causes thin dia-
phragm to vibrate, and by means of an
undulating current another diaphragm
In exact synchronism with that Of the
transmitter gives rise to air waves like
those of the speaker. Thus, though the
sound does not travel over the line,
there is an exact reproduction of the
original waves. Prof. Bell concluded
that he could apply the same principle
to talking along a ray of light. A
pencil of sunlight admitted through a
small aperture, or the rays of an arc
lamp, rendered parallel by passing
through a suitable lens, served as a
source of light. These rays were re-
Elected to a point where the message
was received on a thin diaphragm of
mica, which served as q mirror. To
intensity the effect a parabolic mirror
at the receiving station focused the rays
at single point. A bit of selenium in
cluded in local telephone circuit was
placed at this point. So long as the mica
remained quiet the electrical current
was steady. The moment sound was
uttered through the transmitter the
sensitive mica vibrated, becoming al
ternately concaye and convex. When
convex the rays were dispersed, and
when concave they were concentrated
at a point nearer than the parabolic
mirror. The result was the same in
both cases. The light focused on the
selenium was diminished in correspond
ence with the sound waves acting on
the mica. The strength of the electric
current was varied by the variations in
the conductivity of the selenium, which
it passed through, and the sounds were
reproduced in the usual way. 1t Is
questioned whether we shall not be able
to talk to inhabitants of other planets
by the time we are able to see them by
means of the improved telescopes which
are promised. Chicago Inter Ocean

ADVICE ABOUT PACKING.


More Gowns Are Made Impossible by
Careless Packing Than by Wear.
Now word of advice can be given to
the woman traveller who is not so for
tunate as to possess well-trained maid.
Pack your own trunks and pack with
care.
More rumpled and impossible gowns
are due to careless packing and loose
adjusting than any other one thing.
No amount of tight packing or of pres
sure applied downward will do more
than accentuate the natural folds. A
single toss of the trunk that is loosely
packed means hopeless tumble of
hats, wraps, bodices, laces and what
not.
Begin at the foundation with the
heaviest garments. Do not fold too
much; shake skirts from the waistband
and spread them for the entire length
without folding that the size of the
trunk will allow. If not, spread out
with great care in the folds which are
naturally taken when held in an up-
right position, and turn over smoothly
at the top.
Shake wraps from the shoulders. lay
them out in the folds they naturally
take, with great care smooth the
sleeves and turn the fronts over on the
back, smoothing and adjusting all
trimmings and frills SO as to avoid hori-
zontal crcases.
1t is impossible to SO fold a garment
MS to avoid all lines, but those taken
lengthwise of the cloth readily disap-
pear and are also little noticed, as
they take the direction of the folds
formed by the garment itself.
Jackets, however, must be so man
aged as to show not crease. Loose
bodices require tissue paper for the
support of puffs and the like, but they
can be saved from much rumpling IL
spread out in the trunk and folded as
little as possible. Then pack close and
tight.
Hats should be packed firmly, SO as
not to move, and for this purpose any
light article, such as handkerchiefs,
mouchoir cases, or soft and pliable OBJ
lccts that will not crush or iniure the
fashionable headgear may be used
