Some of the Latest improvements In
the Science of Construction.
Since the advent of tall buildings IL
has been found necessary 10 make new
combinations of iron and concrete, Civ
ing the greatest mount of space with
least weight, smallest amount of wall
pace greatest amount of window
space. A two-inch inner wall of con.
crete and steel is now as strong as
the old nine-inch wall of brick. The
Expanded metal" system is the latest
improvement in the science of construc-
ton. A sheet of steel is put into the
expanding machines device which
constitutes the patent. It is then
punched through with rows of Sits
with a width of untouched steel be-
tween each line of Sits of a quarter
or half an inch, each slit being sep
arated from the next slit on the line
by perhaps an inch of steel. The ma
chine then stretches the slitted sheet
widthwise to about six times it's orig
inaI width, and when it leaves the ma
chine it represents a square piece of
steel lace work with Acknowledgment
meshes. This is embedded in concrete
in a way similar to the old systemic Of
iron rods, but is much stronger. Thus
less concrete may be used. For tau
buildings, Eiffel towers, and dock ware
houses, whose floors must zeal enor-
nous weights, the advantage Of this
steel lacework cannot be exaggerated.
The whole flooring may be one solid
slab binding the outer and inner walls,
and if the outer walls are also built on
the new system the entire building
would be knit together to form a conn
plete block, impenetrable to fire, wind
or whter.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

intrust only to their Wallets. Among
other things Frank carries wood into

mixing deep purple and deep blue. The
dots and scrolls are raised gold. The
paste for these must be mixed and APP
Piled, and the pieces are then ready for

When this is done the flowers should
be r~ctouehed, the sharp contrasts Of
shade being added which have already
been mentioned as a feature of the
Dresden ware. The roses should be
shaded with deep purple in the centers,
and the leaves with brown green laid
in sharp touches. The centers of the
purple flowers should also be strength

The dots and scrolls may now be
severed with the gold; dry thoroughly

Iho CAarmfng Dresden style of Dec0-
rAtion for China.
The Dresden style of decoration for
china IS always in flavor, and no one who
nttelnpts to paint upon china at the
present time can afford to be ignorant
OF its characteristic features. The
painting is always done upon the white
s9are. as the tinted grounds are never
Uscd for Dresden. The flowers, figures
and other devices employed are not OUT
lined ID any way, as is done in all other
styles OF china painting. Pure, bright
soloKs are employed, quite in contrast
90 the soft, mellow tones soughti in Roy
81 Worcester. The shading of the flow
ors IS intense and sharp, and vivid con-
drasts of color are often seen.
Gold scrollwork is largely employed.
0ften ia relief. and sometimes a plain
panel Of q dark color is outlined between
che bits Of decoration.
There is for sale in the art stores a

Of this line Of work. the La Croix eoiors

suits Care must be taken. however
n setting the colorsto be used, choos-
an those only which are intense and
pure IA tone, and avoiding all the soft
and -new'' shades.
The gold work, both plain and raised,
s. done as in other styles Of decoration
already described. The paints are pre-
pared for use in the same manner, but
there is no soft blending in tones i n
shading, and, as already stated, no out
zine OF color is employed.
The design shown herewith is a good
example Of the Dresden style of decora-
zion. 1t is desirable for dinner or tea
cups and saucers.
To paint this in La Croix colors, first
tint the plain panels a bright yellow,
using silver yellow for the purpose.
Next draw the flower sprays upon the
plain white china, and paint them with
the local colors, using carmine No. 2
rather thin for the roses, and leaving the
white china itself for the highest lights.

Orators Can Now Carry Notes inside

The public speaker can now see in his
spectacles what he is to tell his audience
at least. an invention to accomplish
this has been made, and the inventor is
Prof. Emory C. Chenoweth, a principal
of a public school at Whitehall, Balti~

1t consists of a double pair of specta~
cles. Between the two sets is a pair of
tiny rollers, upon which winds a scroll
of paper, containing, in minute manu-
script form, the speakers notes on the
subject which he is to discuss. The first
pair Of glasses sufficiently magnifes
the handwriting to make it distinct to
the speakers eyes.
BY the aid of a thumbscrew the rolf
ers may be thrown to the right, so that
they will not be ~perceptible to the eye
at all. This same screw enables the
speaker to turn the rollers at will, as his
remarks progress, and the motion will
be no more indicative of it's real purpose
than the habit which so many persons
who wear spectacles have of putting
their hand to the bow every moment Of

nearly equal height in ordinary changes
of the weather, but in case of sudden
atmospheric changes the small opening

of the mercury in the two tubes, when

They Showed Their Anger When
Their Owner Fond1ed Others.
NJ. J. Delboeuf, a French scientist.
declares that lizards are actuated BY
feelings Of love and may even become
victims Of jealousy. In an article
which he sRrote for a French scientific
review, he tells about two lizards
which he kept in his house for several
years, both Of which evinced unmistak-
able evidences of being troubled by the
same green-eyed monster which occa-
sionally plays havoc with the affairs Of
human beings.
MY first two lizards had been cap
tured-one in the Spanish Pyrenees and
the other at Tarn in France, wherefore
/ called them the Spanish and the
French lizards, but afterwards gave
them the names Pedro and Pierre" says
NJ. Delboeuf.
''The two lizards lived on the best Of
terms for several months. Pedro was
fond of following Pierre around, and
when Pierre one day was missing the
other was sad and d~isconsolate.
1t was three weekes before the lost
lizard was found, and then he was dis
covered upder the stair carpet, where
he had probably been all the time. In
the meantime another lizard was Sc
cured. The first two were males, while
the last conner was a female. Her adj
vent brought on war between the two
former friends, which became so fierce
that they had to be placed in separate
cages and released one at a time.
PEDRO was jealous of my preference
and caresses," continued the scientist.
"When he was on my sleeve I could
keep him for hours motionless by pass
ing my hand lightly along his body;
but if l took Pierre or another lizard up
his rage broke out at once, and he
would jump upon him with his mouth
~menacingly wide open.
eff, however, l chose the large lizard,
he gradually drew back, as if regretful-
ly, without leaving me. Now, what
good do caresses do a lizard? Dogs and
cats, they tell us, are delighted ith
them. But these animals, when they
were young, were caressed by their
mothers, who licked, bit and amused
them, and it is not strange that they
should find in our cajolery a kind of rec
ollection of motherly tenderness. They
play together, embrace one another
and press against one another. The
man who plays with them is like q COM
panion of a little more respectable
species, and that is all.
"In menageries, monkeys, bears,
lions, tigers and hyenas indulge in ca
resses to the point that some animals
seek them and provoke them. But liz
ards, with their scaly skin, unaccus-
toned to embracing feeling and licking,
Matched in the sun! My Pedro, there
fore, presented a deviation of the feel
ing of jealousy"

~seismology is now so far developed
that seismologists are able not only to
study earthquakes which no one feels,
but have begun to investigate their re-
l~stions, of which there are many, with
most promising results as far as sociology
is concerned. There are thousands of
earthquakes or earth tremors every
year, and half of them come from deep
water. The ocean is really the home of
earthquakes. Twenty years ago their
study was commenced in Japan, with
the result that the seismology of that
country has revolutionized the seismol-
ogy of the whole world. AS a conse-
quence the methods of building in
Japan have entirely altered, so that
houses erected on new principles stand,
while their neighbors' are shattered.

by troops to bury it, getting under the
body, following out the ground with
their legs and projecting the rubbish

into the grave so as to fill it and hide
the body from sight. The females will
then lay their eggs in the tomb, where
the larvae will afterward find an
