A frarilc Boat of Metal.

One of the most curious boats evef
planned is being constructed at the
Bath tAe) iron works. 1t is a metal
canoe. to be made in sections so tina.
1t may be taken apart and carried
overland easily. The boat will be
fourteen feet long, and viii! be con-
structed of aluminium. When COM
pleted the boat will weigh only two
hundred pounds, and 1t is claimed that
1t will float on the water as lightly and
safely as the most approved wooden
canoe. II is to be supplied with air
chambers that will prevent its sinking
II the canoe is overturned. Every
plate which will be used in the con-
struction OF the novel boat has TO be
hammered into shape by hand. The
canoe will belong to Mr.. A. A. Root
of Buffalo, N. Y.

1nstructing Deaf Mutes by Tslepbo,,.

The medical officer OF one of the
leading deaf and dumb institutions In
Great Britain states that he has on
tanned material aid from the seeming
ly improbable source OF loud-speak-
ing telephone in the treatment OF his
patients, In the education of such
deaf mutes as possess a fragment of
hearing power. the telephone being
found to possess many important ad-
yantages over the speaking tube usual
ly employed. In the first place. In
arranging for this purpose. the wires
from several receivers can be coupled
up to one transmitter. and thus a
teacher can instruct a group OF chill
dren at the same time; then again, II
is not necessary for a teacher to ap-
ply his mouth close to the transmit
ter. so that pupils have a full view of
the facial expressions and lip move
ment. which is not possible when hav-
ing to direct his voice into the mouth
piece OF speaking tube or trumpet.
While seeing the movements OF the
lips, the patient has the sound con-
veyed close to his ear-drum-a most
advantageous combination.

Patriotism.

BY Rev. d. sutherland.
Patriotism. the love of the land In
which we were born, the pride In At.

sent. is among the noblest OF human
affections. 1t has often been observed
that man who is incapable OF II IS
incapable of all high emotion. Inc
feeling lies deeper than any logical ex-
preston, among those pulses OF the
heart which vIbrate TO the sanctities OF
home and to the thoughts which leap
nm from the graves of our fathers. II
has the power to transfgure the least
attractive country with halo OF glory
peculiarly Its own. Even the desert Is
remembered with pleasure If 1t be the
place where life began. The Cretans
called 1t by a name which indicated
mothers love for her children. The
Ethiopian Is possessed by the convic-
ton that God made his sands and des-
erts. while only angels were employed
in the making of other portions OF the
globe. Some Arabian tribes fancy that
the sun. moon and stars rise only for
them. The Maltese. isolated on a rock,
distinguish their island by the appella-
ton OF THE Flower of the World"
and in the Carribees patriotism be-
comes so conceited that the people es-

themselves alone entitled to the name

which they call cosmopolitanism: but
closer acquaintance with such people
reveals the fact that either in their

cosmopolitanism they have lost great

An Elephant Tried by Court Martial.

An elephant was once court-mar-
tailed at Mhow. Central India. The
animal had been put under arrest,
and charged with killing his keeper,
native soldier. 1t was found that
the native had given the elephant Of
fence by stealing some of his food
after II had been served out to him
The elephant had caugh, him in the
act. and before the man could get
away the great brute put his foot on
him, then winding his trunk around
him lifted him into the air, and be-
fore anyone could stop him he dashed
the man TO the ground. and killed him
The trial was most curious First
came the whole of the elephants be-
longing to the station in a long,
solemn procession. They formed up
in two lines on either side of the
place of punishment. The prisoner
was then marched up. Around his
neck was tremendous chain, the
ends of which were attached to the
collars of two other elephants. who
walked on either side OF him. When
he reached the punishment stone his
feet were inserted into four holes and
chained When the prisoner was thor
oughly secured, the brigade-maior and
stan rode along the lines. They halted
on getting within a few yards OF the
elephant. The brigade major then
produced several sheets of foolscap,
and calling the prisoner by name, bade
him give attention to what was 60
ing to be read The major first read
out the charge. then the evidence for
and against him. At the conclusion OF
the evidence the prisoner was found
guilty, and was sentenced to receive
forty-eight lashes with a chain. and
after that punishment he should for
three months draw a log chained to his
leg The corporal elephant then ap-
preached to within few feet OF the
prisoner, and large iron chain was
placed in his trunk. At signal from
the major he commenced to fiog the
prisoner Not sound was uttered by
the other elephants. but the groans
OF the prisoner as the chain descended
across his ribs were indescribable.

The Invisible World.

There is present everywhere about
us numerous population OF micro
sropic organlsms-creatures that the
eye cannot see without the aid OF
powerful magnifying glass. With al
most every breath of air, every drink
of water and every mouthfnl of food,
we take into the system vast numbers
of minute plants. Some are so small
that thousands might be picked up on
the point of needle. Fifty thousand
OF them can live and hourish on one
square inch OF surface. They swarm
ovver the inside and outside of our
bodies. Not long ago an eminent
doctor found seventeen different kinds
of plants growing on the tongue OF
n healthy person.
One variety of these plants Is called
ferments Yeast Is one OF the fermentS.
When yeast is added to warm. moist
ened flour. the little yeast plants be-
gin to turn the free sugar into alcohol
and carbonic acid gas. This gas in
trying to oscape forms bubbles In the

put into the hot oven. The germs are
killed. the alcohol and carbonic acid
gas are driven OF and we have nice
loaf OF fresh, light bread.
In making beer and other rermentai
liquors the grain Is put into a warm.
damp place until It begins to spront.
This is necessary In order to change
the starch Of the grain into sugar, as
the ferments do not act directly on the
starch After the grain has sprousei
the iorment is added and the sugar
turns into alcohol and carbonic acid
gas It is this gas trying to escape
that causes the foam to rise to the top
of the beer.
IL canning fruit special care must be
taken to keep out the ferments. The
fruit and cans are boiled. and while
both are steaming hot the fruit is put
in and the cans are sealed air tight.
In case all the germs are not killed. or
II the can Is not air tlght fermentation
takes place. large amount of car
homie acid gas accumulates and finally
the pressure becomes so great that the
can bursts.
Yeast Tants. as seen under the mi
croscope. resemble minute bubbles.
These plants do not multiply by pro-
ducIng seeds. but by process called
budding. When the plant is full grown
1t sends out a small bud on one side.
This bud grows and in time sends out
another bud. and so on.
Fsrments are OF various kinds and
cause different kinds OF fermentation
with different products. Among the
kinds OF fermentation the following
may be specially mentioned:
I. Alcoholic Fermentation. This is
caused by ferment which is contained
in yeast The product of its action is
alcohol and carbonic aid gas.
2. Lactic fermentation. This is due
to a vegetable ferment which is con
tanned in sour milk. 1t transforms SUI
gar into Tactic acid.
3. Acetic fermentation. This Is due
to vegetable fermentation. which acts
upon alcohol and changes 1t to acetic
acid tvinegar).
4. Saccharine fermentation. Tais
changes starch into sugar
4. Putrefaction fermentation. This
attends the decomposition Of animal
and vegetable substances.

When Queen Wilheliaina, who was
recently crowned the girl ruler o.
Holland. was small child she used
to do many things that accorded with
her idea OF queenly powers, but were
not always approved by her mother
or her infant subjects. The story is
told that two of the court children
were missed one day soon after they
had been seen playing with the infant
queen. Grave fears were entertained
that they had been kidnapped, and or
ders were about to be given the police
to search for the kidnapers, when
little wilhelmina reluctantly confessed
that she had locked her child COM
panions up in an old cellar near the
courtyard. When asked why she did
so she said they had refused to obey
her, and SO she imprisoned them for
rebellion against their queen.
