many dolls, until she had a family of
1872 of them. The name of each she en-
tered in a book and wrote out its entire
history, where it came from, how it
lost its nose, how its dress was torn.
and finally, how its sawdust blood ran
ont and left it only a bunch of rags.
With these dolls the little princess
performed many ceremonies of state.
Their feet We're sc fixed in the long
board that they could stand upstraight.
and she marched them around in many
wonderful ways.
One of her other sports was riding
out on her white donkey, whose head
was adorned with blue ribbons. An
old soldier led it by the bride. Some
times she took a drive in a small pony
chaise, led by a page. One day a dog
ran between the pony's legs; itswerved

princess would surely have been in.

His name was Maloney, and he was
warmly thanked and generously re-

mother. z
Victoria had to study much harder
than many little girls, for she was to
be fitted for a most important work.
She began to learn from books when
she was five years old. Later she was
trained to speak French and German,
as well as English, and, by the time she
had reached her eleventh year, Ital-
ian, Latin. Greek, mathematics, music
and drawing were added to her studies.
The princess was very fond of draw
ings, and early began to sketch from
She was much interested in
natural history, and was delighted with
her first visit to the British museum,
and asked that she might often be
taken there. She also took much Y
pleasure in learning simple botany"
which she studied with her uncle Leo
pold in the woods. a-
Another pastime she found in visit
ing her Uncle King" as she called
", then king of Englnd.
At is years Of age, before she was
really grown to womanhood, she was
crowned queen of England. When it
was time for her to marry she didn't
have to wait until some nice young

BADNESS CONTAGIOUs.
New Theory Advanced by n Noted
French DcrmMtOl0Hist

DR.. Sabouraud, in the AGnales de
Dermatologie. believes badness to be
contagious and that the most common
carriers of c%ontagiou are BARRIERS in
s,ruments. Starting with the microbic
origin Of the disease, he tells us that the
typical lair of alopecia areata is found
at the edge of an advancing patch. and
is a stump OF long hair that has re-
manned in the scalp. 1t is shaped like
an interrogation point. Its diameter
becomes less toward the root and its
color lost, rtrlcules that are full and
closed are found among the soundhairs,
They are filed with joined strata of
epidermic cells, and contain In their
centers. like a lar,a in a cocoon, COM
pact clusters Of microbes, a pure cul-
ture of the smallest bacillus known.
As it grows old it may be o%ne-quarter
millimetcr (0.0l inch) wide and one
half to II millimeter long, and COM
m%a-shapcd or bent. The young bacilli
are a little swollen in the center, and
their ends are blunt. Each utricule con-
tains millions of them. This bacillus is
regarded as the probable cause OF the
disease.

adoption by the government, t which
the doctor intends to present drawings
of his invention. He will leave It en-
tirely with congress to decide whether
his services will be recognized by any
compensation. He will not sell it to
any foreign government, but will give

hundreds OF dollars are wasted. With
the tombstone torpedo, the shell en-
pIodes as soon as water touches the
chemical of the peculiar cartridge, and
the dynamite which it contains Will
cause Il destructive explosion. which
will reach q vessel within several hun
bred yards. 1t can as well be dropped

The cartridge can be so timed as to
explode at any desired depth from one
inch TO fifteen feet below the water
line. While the cost OF t%orpedoes now
in use is great, the tombstone can be
manufactured at small expense from
glass, iron or east steel, in any shape
desired. 1t may be fired a pneu-
matte gun, and a tiny tug carrying a
cargo of these shells could, If they are
all that is claimed, eXterminate the
fleets of the world. The ingredients
are nil secret, which will only be made
known to the government upon Its &C.

RIDING AIR.


English inventor
Richard Din, of London, has invented
a plan, which, if carried out successful
~, will enable people to travel in ears
suspended high aOoye the earth, I'M
PEELED by compressed air. The coaches
will be pendent from all overhead iron
tube, through which compressed air
win be forced from a central power
station. There are openings at the
ends OF each section OF the tube, closed
by valves. The tube is open at its I'M
der side from end to end, providing for
the passage of a pair of pendent plates,
nCm which the car Is suspended, and
IS supported, at intervals, by posts.
The plates depend from trolleys, within
the cube, each carrying IA piston. At
their periphery the plates are proyld-
ed with an elastic packing, which
makes an alright joint with the tube.
he longitudinal opening in the tube
Is covered by an elastic valve, in the
face of which is a strip of steel. The
pendent plates have"tfateral Ranges,
" ~ " \ 'he ioiNdIu emu Ol the lFOl-
ley lift the elastic valve from its seat
to open a passage for the trolley plates.
The compressed air is pumped into re-
~celvers and connected to the perma-
way tube by pipes and caps. A
small high-pressure pipe supplies ar
I" the back of the piston and forces
forward the carriage. At the juno
ton of sections the tube will be open
to the atmosphere, and the impetus
given TO the trolley will suffice. when
desired, to pass the carriage from one
