German Pipes.

The town of Ruhla In Thuringia Is
noted as being the locality where the
largest proportion OF German pipes are
manufactured, and these are exported,
it may be said to all parts of the world.
The German papers give some remark
able data as to this industry, as car
ried on at the Ruhla works, showing
that for some years past the annual
production of bowls, independently of
stems or handles, amounts to $4,000
meerschaums and nearly 5,5oO,OOO OF
imitation meerschaums: the total of
wooden bowls produced is not Ear short
OF 5,0OO,00 while the average number
of that popular variety. the china pipe
attains the prodigious number of be-
tween IL ,000.0 900 and $4,000 600 of these
about $500 900 being of common porce-
lain and the remainder of five ware
But in addition to these there are also
produced some 15,000,O 900 of pipes made
of other materials than those enumer-
ated above The same manufacturers
are engaged in turning out annually
100000 of pipe stems of different
kinds, also millions of accessories" Z"
such as flexible stems, chains. shoppers

Practical Use of Water,

In certain portions of the west where
water is used for purposes of irriga-
uon. experiments have been tried in
nrst utilizing the water for power.
Suitable pumps carry 1t to high reser-
voirs. where it is used to generate cleo
tricity. 1t acquires an enormous power
by Its weight and is in no wise in
1ured Tor irrigating purposes. An or
'dlnary spring constantly drawn from
furnishes very valuable power in this
way, and after the water has done it's
work either in the electrical plant or
IN the turning of wheels, it goes on its
way to refresh vegetation and make the
ground productive. In this way it per-
forms more than double Office with
out detriment to itself or its original
mission.

Klondike Auroras.

William Bailey, who left Cincinnati
for the Klondike in the spring of 1895,
writes home: The weather some days

when the wind is not blowing.

Ago of the Earth.

Science and religion have indulged
in numerous arguments upon the age
Of the earth. One OF the best authori-
ties and one whose testimony is ad-
mitted by almost all disputants, tells
us that the earth became solid some
where between twenty and thirty mil
lions of years ago. This statement Is
based on the length of time that would
be required to solidify all of the strata
OF which We have any knowledge. As
this has been one of the ever-pressnt
subjects for questioning and quibbling,
1t is great satisfaction to feel that
excellent authorities have finally set
tied the point

Coles Magnetic Motor.

Professor Coles, the famous Kingston
tfa) scientist, writes that he has dis
covered how to run machinery by mag
netism, and has incidentally hit upon
perpetual motion. The gist of his
communication follows: The magnetic
motor IS so simple in construction that
almost any schoolboy will be able to
build motor of his own. II you take
a common horse shoe magnet and
steel pin, as shown in cut, marked j
and X, the magnet will attract the pin
at distance of quarter of an inch,
so that it will jump to the magnet and,
II you were quick enough to slide some
non-magnetic substance over the face
of the magnet, just before the pin
reached it, the pin would jump to the
other end of the magnet, and vice
versa SO long as you were able to cut
off the attraction. Professor Coles,
working upon this theory for years, mas
at last. discovered, in aluminium glass,
a substance that will cut of the mag
netic attraction as completely as snow
cuts off the attraction of the earth
from steel sled shoes. The motor may
be described as follows: A A is a
woven magnet, weighing less than 10
pounds, AMI having a drawing power of
more than 100 pounds. The magnet is
composed of seven different kinds of
magnet metals, and so woven that each
metal forms complete and independ-
ent junction of its own, and is said
to arrest the magnetic currents as they
pass from pole to pole. B B shows the
ending of the magnets, through glass
rim or case, as the whole machine Is
encased in glass and works in glass
grooves. d shows the spokes in the
wheel, which are made of copper. fas-
tened to a glass rim; E shows a net
work of German silver wire. forming
functions on each spoke, and ending In
steel fiocks H; F shows a rubber-like
substance which cuts off the attraction
of the magnet after it has drawn the
steel block down to it, and then draws
the next, and next, as SO on, forever,
just as If one could take common
horse shoe magnet and attract the pin,
and at the same time keep the magnet
moving swift enough so that the pin
could never catch up to it. The speed
is over 100000 revolutions in a sec
ond, proving that magnetism is swifter
than either light or electricity. 1t is,
practically, the long-sought-afte per-
petual motion. and Prof. Coles gives its
construction to the world as though it
were but mere toy In it lie millions

Better Left UnsaId,

The two giggling girls pushed their
way into the crowded cable car. The
one was pretty, and knew it, while the
other wasn't and didn't seem to know
1t. After a great deal of squeezing
that almost took their breath away.
they at last reached the front part of
the car. They kept up their giggling
until man who was trying to read
in the corner seat got up in disgust
and went out on the front platform.
Although they both wanted to sit down
neither wished to deprive the other of
the seat.
You take it, dear" said the pretty
one.
81 wouldn't enjoy 1t at all If knew

Then they began giggling again.
At last, when another woman rushed
up to take 1t, the pretty girl showed
her friend into the seat. saying: THE
first thing We know we'll lose it. Be-
sides, my dear, it's better for you
to take it. because I'm more likely to
have a seat offered me-"

Purifying Water by Electricity.

An electrical company ngsged In
the rectifying of alcohol and syrups by

In the purification of water and has dis
covered that even the foulest water

the free use of ozone, which, entering
into the water, cleanses 1t of all i'm

actually disintegrated under the
wheels of passing train. So
complete was the breaking up that sci
sntists thought it worthy of investiga-
tion, during which it was determined
that the metal had become exhausted
and had broken down. just as an over
strained animal might be expected to
do. This has led to further inquiry.
and scientists are satisfied that metals
do become tired out. Fine cracks often
appear in steel rails and it has been
supposed that they are caused by the
continuous concussion of railway
wheels. This, however, seems to be
contradicted by the examination Of
newly-made rails, in which similar
hne lines occur. The idea that metals
become weary, while not altogether a
new one, is to an extent plausible
one. and under the careful scrutiny Of
scientific societies will probably be sat
isfactorily explained and settled.

IN UPPERTENDOM.

Russian ladies who want to ride the
bicycle find themselves between Scyl-
la and Charybdls in the matter of cos
tune. They must choose between the
hated Schariwary and the reform cos
tune. 1t came about one very windy
week when the fashionables were
wheeling through the st. Petersburg
parks that the skirts of the wheelwom-
en- became inflated and caused much
amusement to the little grand dukes
and future grand duchesses who were
strolling about in care of their nurses.
In consequence the great government
deliberated and announced that all
women who rode wheels should wear
either the Schariwary-a jacket anu
medieval white pantaloons-or the re-
form, garment in which trousers and
jacket are one. Just what the unfor-
tunate ladies have to say has not been

A marriage occurred at Rheims u
couple of weeks ago which is of In
terest. If not literally to all the world,
Mt least to every one of its politer sec
tions. The participants were the
Comte de Nun and Mdlle. de Werle,
young people of whom in this part of
the planet few have ever heard, and vet
who are none the less significant. But
the names of some of the guests are
the Comtesse Roederer, the Comtesse
de Montebello. the Duchesse d'Uzes and
the Marquis de Champagne. 1t was
a gathering of the brands. The bride
is descendant of the house of Cliquot.
The founder of that house, the celebrat-
ed Veuve, was the daughter of cloth
manufacturer. Her husband, Cliquot,
was banker. 1t was as a pastime,
for the fun Of the thing, that he became
an amateur wine grower and sold to
friends and acquaintances the products
of vineyards situated in the then little
known district of Champagne. When
he died his widow was but 2S. Her
resources were meager. What had
been but recreation to her husband be-
came business to her. She invented
process for clarifying wine. improved
its quality and made her label known
That was the latter part of the last
century. She had one child, a girl.

dowager duchess of Uzes. Werle, the
grandfather OF the bride of last week.

ploye. In 1921 he became a partner
and in 1856 sole proprietor Of the
brand. Monarchial in principle and
conservative in ideas, he was the last

into line and produce dry wine instead
