But it is pitiful to subscribe to
the fact that a great party and all

Many of the old painters have given us
the terror stricken group in the cave,
including the girl and the three boys,
but minus the monsters who caused
them such a fright.
The most beautiful of all the legends
is The Light of the World" which
Bouguereau has so exquisitely pictured
for us in his ''Repose in Egypt" Some
travellers crossing the desert saw a
brilliant light proceeding apparently
from the Sphinx. Knowing that the
altar of the sun stood there, they asked
OF one another in amaze. Can the peo-
pie be sacrificing again to the SUM"
And when they drew nearer they saw
that little group of wanderers was
resting beneath the shadow of the
mystery of the desert. A man of mid
die age, dusky and travel-stained, was
feeding small gray ass, while on the
arms of the Sphinx rested young
woman holding an infant to her breast
The radiant light which had dazzled
them shone from the face of the young
child with great and exceeding brill
fancy. Now the travellers going on
their way. were filled with awe and as
tonishment. Yet they did not know
that they had beheld the Light of the
World. "-Demorest.

Pay All Bill. Before Christmas.

A reader of the Philadelphia Ledger Of
fers the following valuable suggestion:
Twill you please beg the fair readers of
your columns to pay all their little bills
right away. before Christmas. I can
think of nothing which would bring real
Christmas cheer into SO many hearts and
homes. One dressmaker. of whom
know, has been working hard for the
past three months, but mas not been able
to collect enough Of the money due her to
pay her girls. There are many SUCH
THE women whose dressmakers bills
drag on for month after month, unpaid,
are clothed in soft raiment' and live in
fine houses.
when Bridget and Dinah have their
best dresses made they pay for them
at once. This suggests many questions.
Are only wage earners possessed of
money? In too many wealthy homes the
wives and daughters are so utterly de-
pendent that they must. forsooth, coax
and wheedle and wait lucky moment of
good humor ere they can obtain from
lords and masters the money to pay their
honest debts. / do not like to admit that
we are less honest than our maids. If a
woman has money, of course. she will
deal fairly by all who serve her, in what
ever capacity. With the true Christmas
spirit in our hearts we will scatter no
gifts until we have done our part to rem
der a blessed, happy Christmas possible
in the homes of our trades-people."

THERMOMETERS FOR WAR SHIPS
Important Work Done by These Bits O.
Delicate Workmanship.
New York SUM-


The thermometer used in the boiler
rooms and magazines of warships in al
most every navy in the world come
from the United States. They are
made in an obscure little workshop in
Brooklyn. BY their aid the magazines
and coal bunkers are guarded against
accidents by spontaneous combustion.
The temperature in all the vital parts
of ship is watched constantly and re-
ported, and, it is hardly necessary to
say, is kept at the lowest point pos
sible
The factory consists of two rooms in
an apartment house. Two skilled
workmen are all that have to be paid
off when payday comes around A
thermometer lately adopted by some of
the big battleships. orders for which
are now being filled for several of the
smaller vessels in the navy, is that
which is known among experts as the
Hicks pattern. 1t takes it's name after
the English manufacturer who invent
ed it. 1t is so complicated in pattern
that there is only one man in the Uni
ted States who knows how to make 1t.
He is employed in the Brooklyn fac
tory. where he has his hands full.
: The attractive feature about this in
strument is that it automatically re-
cords the lowest and the highest tenn
peratures to which it has been sub
iected since last observed. This is ac-
complished without the use of an ink
marked diagram, but by little floats
which stick in the tubes where the
| mercury has been highest and where it
has been lowest. Such thermometers
however, are very expensive, as, In
fact, are all of those which are made
n the queer Brooklyn factory.
Nothing is there made but high
priced instruments for special scienti-
| fic tests, in which it is necessary to
| ascertain temperature with fractional
| accuracy. Cheap thermometers, such
| as are commonly seen in ordinary use,
| are made in various places all over the
| world. &4 ' s- 49,

Brooklyn workshop, is a.close student
and is little known to the soutside
world. Among officials lin. the navy

wider circle Of friends than any other
man in America. however, Person ally
he has made many Inventions, and has
added much to thermometer science,

thermometers is not due to himself.

DESIGNS SELECTED
 FOR THE FLOATS To Be Used in the Carnival Parades Next February. ALL COSTUMES HAVE COME Some of the Biggest Float Makers in the Country Are Bidding on the Work
 Each Will Have Representa-
 tives to Submit Plans.
ALL COSTUMES HAVE COME

The committee on designs of the Carni- val society held meeting in the Commer- cial club rooms yesterday afternoon to se- feet the subject of the carnival paradcs to be held next mardi gras.
 The committee made the selection of the subject to be illustrated by the floats, but will not announce 1t at all; at least not for the present.
 The following float manufacturers are bidding on the work of constructing the parades: The Haley Decorating company of San Francisco the Pinkson company of St. Louis, John M. Evans of New Orleans, and J. Anthony German of this city, who constructed the floats of the last parade. All of them are experts in the business. They were each asked to send representa- tiyes before the committee on design to ex- plain the designs which they would sub init.
 It was the sense of the committee meet ing yesterday that the big manufacturing concerns of the district be urged to partici- pate in the merchants parade, as well as the wholesale and retail merchants. A sub committee will be appointed to see that this is done.
 The Carnival society received yesterday and formally accepted a complete set of the people on the floats. They are gorgeous affairs, and will be one of the most att tractive adjuncts of the carnival a
