From the Argosy.
If inventions continue to multiply at the
present rate, the day may speedily come
when man will have to sit with folded arms
while his work, and even his pleasures, are
turned out for him by nickle-in- the-slot
devices Science has lately given us a
marvel in the shape of card-counting
machine.
Two of the most interesting automata
now working within the limits of the United
States are those used by the Government
for counting and tying postal cards into
small bundles. These machines were made
in Connecticut, and the two are capable of
counting 800, 900 cards in ten hours and
wrapping and tying the same in packages
of twenty five each In this operation the
paper is pulled off drum by two long
fingers which come up from below, and
another finger dips in vat Of mucilage,
and applies itself to the wrapping paper in
exactly the right spot. Other parts of the
machine Irvine the paper around the pack
of cards, and then thumb presses over
the spot where the mucilage is, and the
package is thrown upon carry belt ready
for delivery.

The Poisonous Effects of Borax.

Borax has become such familiar house
hold article and enters into the composition
of so many things in ordinary use that it
is interesting to note some experiments of
a French physician who has made exhaust
i've investigation into the qualities of this
much used substance. The British Medi-
cal Journal says that there are consid-
cradle number of persons peculiarly suscep-
tible to borax In them loss of appetite
was succeeded by burning pain in the pit
Of the stomach, dryness of the mouth and
eventually by nausea and vomiting. Borax
also produces remarkable dryness of the
skin, which is found to favor if not to
cause various skin diseases, especially
eczema. The hair also becomes dry and
may fall out, causing complete badness.
The most dangerous result of the use of
borax, however, is its power of producing
kidney disease OF of converting slight
disorder Of the kidneys into fatal NAL
ady = 81
In view of the fact that borax as an
ingredient in hair washes is extensively
used, this warning does not come amiss.
1t is not impossible that, as many of the
shampoo mixtures contain borax, this may
account for badness in men who habitualy
indulge in shampooing at the barber $.
IF eczema is the result of regular use of
borax, the question arises whether borax
soap is not menace to health and an
article that should be restricted in its EN-
ployment.

The Right Way to Warm Buildings.
From Casters Magazine.

From Casters Magazine
There is ample evidence to prove that
the rational heating of buildings was we'll
understood art several Thousand years ago.
In the palmy days of Pompeii early ex
istence. before It's burial under volcanic
ashes, the old Roman baths in that town
were heated by steam, and in better and
far more scientific manner than is followed
at the present time The walls of the
buildings were double, and the steam, at
atmospheric pressure, no doubt, was car
ried up through these walls, all around the
rooms to be warmed, bringing them to a
temperature approximating that Of the
steam, and the occupants of the rooms were
thus exposed to a radiation of warmth from
all directions. In this we have the true
theory of heating. Following in a measure
this early system, some one in Germany,
according to recent account, proposes to
build house of which the framework is to
be made up of water tubing, through which
warm water is to be circulated in winter
and cold water in summer, warming or
cooling the enclosed spaces as may be
prompted by requirements All the floors
and ceilings and walls are to be crossed and
recrossed by water pipes, afFording heating
and cooling surface exactly where theory
tells us it should be to give the most desir-
able results The building of that house
would certainly afford an excellent modern
practical demonstration of the value of these
ideal principles

Kept A Profound Score
From Book Review.

The marvellous Oxford India paper was
first introduced in 1875. Since then it
has revolutionized the Bible and prayer
book trade, and it is now used for all the
more popular devotional books throughout
the world in the year 1841 an Oxford
graduate is said to have brought home
from the far east small fold of extremely
thin paper, which was manifestly more
Opaque and tough for Its substance than
any paper then manufactured in Europe.
He presented it to the Clarendon press.
The late Thomas Combe, who had only
recently been appointed printer to the uni
versity, found it to be Just sufficient for
"a copies of siie smallest Bible then in ex
istence-diamond 24mo-and printed an
edition Of that number, which bore the
date of 1912 The books were barely a
third Of the usual thickness, and, although
as much as 500 apiece was offered for
them, no copies were sold, and they were
presented to the queen and other distin-
guished persons.
All efforts to trace the paper to its source
were futile, and as years rolled on the cir
cumstance was forgotten. But early in
1874 a copy fell into the hands of Arthur
f. Miles who showed it to Mr.. Provide,
and experiments were at once set on foot
at the Oxford university paper mills with
the object of producing similar paper.
The first attempts were failures, but sue
cess was achieved, and August "a, 1875,
an edition of diamond 24mo Bible, similar
in all respects TO the "a copies printed in
1912, were placed on sale This was the
first Oxford Bible published by MIR.
Provide. The feat of compression was
looked upon as astounding, the demand
was enormous, and before long $50, 900
copies had been sold The paper when
subjected to severe rubbing, instead of
breaking into holes, assumed texture re-
sembling channels leather, and strip only
3 inches wide was found able to support a
quarter of a hundredweight without yield
ing. The secret of its manufacture, it
may be said, is known TO only three living
nei.Sons

Paralyzed the Old Man.
From the Cleveland Leader.

Old Brambles-So you wish to marry
my daughter, eh? suppose you like
to have me take you into business, also,
and furnish a home for you
Young Courtleigh-Well. | m not par
ticular as to the business and the home
Old Brambles-Oh, then you have other
plans in view?
Young Courtleigh-Yes, Mable and
thought it would be best to let you keep
on running the business and we could
travel abroad with the share of the pro-
ceeds that would get if you took me in
as a partner. OF course, under those cir
cumstances, it wouldn't be necessary for
us to have home.

shock the nuptials had taken place and

How to Be a Man.

Truth, my boy, says Bishop Dudley, is
the only foundation on which manhood can
be entered; for otherwise, no matter how
beautiful the upper stories may be, and no
matter of how good material they may be
built, the edifce-the character, the man
hood-will be but a sham which offers no
sure refuge and protection to those who
seek it, for it will tumble down when the
trial comes. Alas ! my boy, the world is
full of such shams of manhood in every
profession and occupation. If you want to
be man, and that you may be that, [
want you first to be thoroughly true. |
hope you would scorn to tell a lie, but that
is only the beginning of truthfulness. l
want you to despise all sham, all pretense,
all effort to seem to be otherwise than you
are.
