Miss Helene Eliopoulov is a sixteen-year-
old Greek girl who lives with her sister in
New York and is preparing to join the
soldiers fighting in defense of her country.
She wanted to go with her brothers, who
sailed two weeks ago. but was not ready.
She had to get her fighting clothes finished,
for no true woman will go to war without
a suitable costume. They are completed
now and she is ready to depart, but, alas!
she will have no opportunity either to wear
the garments or to battle for her country,
since the war is ended. 1t may perhaps be
worth while to mention that the uniform
she has prepared consists of a white rufied
blouse, a short white skirt and a crimson,
gold braided Jacket, also a big red leather
belt with a sheath for a knife and pistol.
Miss Helene would certainly make q pic
turesqde soldier, but it is just as well that
she must remain a domestic ornament.

MAGNETS FOR HOSTING.

In a London scientific journal are
described electromagnetic which have
been used at Woolwich for hosting
shells and for other purposes. 1t ap-
pears that these can be advantageously
employed for handling plates in plate
mills. A recent installation of electro
magnets for this purpose has proved
remarkably successful. A primary diff
ficulty was encountered in the circum-
stance of the magnets picking up too
many plates at one time, as the mag
netiSm was carried for some distance
through the pile The difficulty, how
ever, was found to be readily over
come by little dexterity on the part
of the operator. After the magnet has
been lowered on to pile of plates, and
several plates have been taken up to-
gether, the operator simply pulls the
switch out, thereby breaking the cur
rent for an instant. BY this operation
one Or two plates can be dropped off
at each breaking of the current, suffi-
cient residual magnetism remaining
with the plates next to the magnet to
hold them until the current is switched
on again. The operation is continued
until only one plate is attached. With
double pole magnets up to- five tons
can be safely handled, taking four am
peres at 240 volts.

JAPAN'S SMALL MEN.

The Japan Mail comments on the
physical deterioration of the Japanese
as follows:
The information furnished by me-
diaeval armor in Europe is that the
men of the present day are physically
much finer than the men that wore the
armor And indeed if we look at the
athletic records of the past and the
present, there can be no doubt that,
so far as Englishmen, at any rate, are
concerned, the race shows steady i'm
provement. But the opposite is said
to be the case in Japan. Few men are
to be found nowadays capable of fill
ing the armor worn by the japanese
six or seven hundred years ago. We
read in a Japanese journal that, even
during the Meiji era, there has been
distinct deterioration of physique. In
1871, when the CONSUMPTION system
was introduced, so per cent Of the
youths liable to serve were found to
be physically qualified, whereas the
number does not now exceed 80 to IS
per cent In other words, two-thirds
of the men of 20 years of age are not
qualified for military service. The
Military Magazine (Heiji Zasshi) re-
ferring to this fact, says that the three
most valuable attributes are generally
set down as talent, virtue and strength,
but it is inclined to place the first last,
for the old adage wisely says, mems
sana in cOrpOre SanO.

ANOTHER CINEMATUuRAPH.

The Engineering Magazine says that
1t is we'll known, the operation of the
cinematograph depends upon the rapid
projection of successive images, and
in all the present forms the light is
obscured while the film is in motion.
Between the light and the film is a
device which is the counterpart of the
Photographic shutter with which the
original images were made, and thus
successive flashes of light are made
corresponding with the successive Sc
ries of pictures. 1t is this intermittent
flashing of the light which produces
the well-known Pickering. The AM
schultz device described in LA Revue
Technique" for June 25) seeks to OBJ
viate this by using two lights and two
sets of pictures. Every one is familiar
with the dissolving-view apparatus, by
which one picture is made to melt
away into the next. In the Amschutz
cinematograph there are two lights,
two films and two projecting lanterns.
The lanterns are inclined so that their
pictures are projected on the same
spot. The pictures are arranged alter
nately on the two films, all the odd
numbers being on the first and the
even ones on the second. The shutters
are so arranged that one light is ex-

The typewriter has found it's way
into Siam, and many machines fitted
with the Siamese keyboard are now

says the New York Herald. Students
of stenography will almost recognize
some of their word signs and phrases
in the curious characters which orna-
ment the 76 key tops of the Siamese
typewriter, with which it is possible
to make 1900 characters. The secre-
tary of the Prince of Siam was sent to
this country by his superior on a spe-
cial mission to have typewriters built
for Siam.
In Siamese writing and printing
there are no capitals. There is no ST.
amese script, so that in that language
all writing is printing" In numbers
the Siamese employ the decimal sys-
tenn. The accents are upon dead
keys, keys that when struck do not
cause a movement of the carriage, so
that the accent may first be printed,
and then the letter without having to
move the carriage back. In some words
it is necessary to use as many as three
accents.
