of series of radially arranged receiv-
ers mounted on suitably driven hori-
zontal shaft. While the material is
pouring into the uppermost receiver
the lowermost receiver is discharging.
Means are provided whereby differ
ences of weight per cubic inch are
compensated for. This is accomplished
by providing each compartment with
a false elastic bottom bent SO as to en-
able it to be introduced in the receiver,
which bottom, owing to its residence,
normally tends to rise and expand at
it's ends to reduce the size of the re-
ceiver. Each elastic bottom has flex-
ible strand or chain secured to its CEN
ter and extending to rotatably adj
justible sleeve on the shaft. A rotata-
BILE movement of the sleeve thus adj
justs the positions of all the bottoms
simultaneously.
A registering mechanism is provided
whereby the amount of material
weighed may be quickly ascertained.

1t is not known how old this little
speech-half prayer and wholly bless

makes to her bride-daughter, is. 1t
has long been handed down from gen
Grafton to generation, and probably
Is, for that very reason, the more full
of beauty and of meaning to the sim
pie, but by no manner of means weak
minded, people of Brittany.
There is no stint to the feasting or
the frolic at Breton wedding, and
there is absolutely no limit to the
guests hidden. The Bretons are as
lavish within their means, though less
extravagant, and as little exclusive in
their marriage Inequalities as the
Sikhs are. Between 800 and 400 peas
ants have been seen dancing at rather
humble bridal festival, and thousand
is by no means an unheard-of strength
of wedding guests.
The trousseau is commemorate
most at the brides birth = by the
brides mother. A Breton bride never
has to wait for her trousseau. Often
the quite completed trousseau has to
wait some years, If not exactly for the
bride, why, then, for the bridegroom.

WEDDINGS IN BRITTANY.
There Is No Limit to the Guests Bid
den and No stint to the Feast
ing or the FrOlic.

The Bretons are most sentimental
people. Their wooings and their we'd
dings are most picturesque. Some of
the prettiest things that have ever
been said about women have been said
in Brittany by Breton men. Some of
the very finest saws imaginable about
marriage and love are Breton prov
cribs.
A Breton bride must wear a silken
girdle or sash, so tied that it falls, not
in single ends, but in long double loops.
When the wedding party has formed
into procession, and is about to walk
to church, it is arrested by the brides
mother, who cuts the loops of her
child's sash, embraces her, blesses
her, and says: THE tie which has so

TO REMOVE STAINS
Not a Very Difficult Task IL You HAP
pen to Know How to Go
About 1t.

Coffee, tea or wine stains are rather
difficult to remove from table linen
if they are OF long standing and have
been washed with soap, which tends to
set their color, says the Philadelphia
Times. Javeile water-which can be
made at home or purchased from the
druggists generally most successful.
Put about half pint of javelle water
and quart Of clear water into an
earthen bowl. Let the stained article
soak in this for several hours, then
rinse thoroughly in three waters. 1t
is only white goods that can be treated
in this manner, as the javelle water
bleaches out the color.
Sewing machine oil stains can be re-
moved by rubbing the stain with sweet
oil or lard and letting it stand for sew
eral hours. Then wash it in soap and
cold water. For peach or tar stains
rub hard, let it stand few hours and
sponge with spirits of turpentine until
the stain is removed. If the color OF
the fabric be changed, sponge it with
chloroform and the color will be re-
stored. Use lemon juice and salt to
remove iron rust, ink and mildew on
white goods. Whiten yellow linen by
boiling half an hour IN one pound
of fine soap, melted in one gallon Of
milk. Then wash in suds, then in two
cold waters, with little blueing.
BY putting lace handkerchiefs il
warm water in which are few drops
of ammonia and using CASTLE soap they
are easily cleansed and made beauti

spread the handkerchief out smooth,
on marble or glass, gently pulling on
or shaping the lace. Just before i
is entirely dry, fold evenly and smooth

HOW CYCLONES FORM.
Subject with Which But
Few Are Familiar.

Lieut.. John NJ. Ellicott, U. S. N, con-
tributes to ST. Nicholas an article on
''The Cradle of Cyclones" Lieut.. Eli
| colt says:
ITO get an idea of a cyclones forma-
tion, imagine large circular pan or
tub with quite large hole in the mid
die of its bottom. With this hole
plugged, fill the vessel with water;
then draw out the plug and watch.
There is first rush of water from
all directions toward the hole and a
turbulent effort to get through. Then
the water surface above begins to sink
and swirl, the particles gradually
circling around and around and rush
| ing, ever faster, toward the center. At
last there is actually hollow space
through the center, around which all
! the water in the tub is whirling, slug
| gishly near the rim, but with more and
more violent rapidity towards the mid
die, until it rltshes downward through
the bottom. Now, if that water were
air, you would be watching little cy-
clone turned upside down, for the air
rushes upward instead of DOWN.
"In the cradle of cyclones during the
summer months, when the land and
the water grow hotter and hotter be-
cause of the longer days than nights.
layer of air, hot, light and full OF
vapor, is for time held down by a
denser air above it. Restless, expand
ing, tumultuous, il moves about like a
beast at bay until a thinner place in
the air above is found. Then up it mad
ly rushes, and into the vacuum left be-
hind the lower atmosphere hastens
from all directions, pushing and twist
ing and pouring until it has fallen into
a regular spinning around common
center. The cyclone, once formed
rushes away from the tropics toward
the pole and begins its career of de
! struction, bruising, wrecking and sink
ing the luckless ships which happen tt
be in it's path. More and more of thu
surrounding atmosphere is drawn intt
the whirl, until the storm often covers
, an area nearly thousand miles in di
I ameter. Sometimes it filings itself up
on our Atlantic coast and tears fierce
ly through forests, fields and cities
Then again 1t sweeps away across thu

holds the tubes extended on one side,
while they rise on the other side, the
same mechanism allowing them to UNI
lock automatically and hang pendant,
Mr.. Falls idea being that the tubes
present less resistance when hanging
pendant than when extended.
AS the tubes pass the apex of the
pulley the quicksilver flows quickly
down the inclining tubes, constantly
adding to their weight as they go. Mr..
Fall believes that if he can succeed in
governing the weight accurately he
will be able to overcome the dead-cen-
ter. The other idea that he describes
is what he terms double cross, the
arms imparting motion by means of
weights, the whole governed by the
central portion above the arms. This
he believes is certain to prove sue
cess as soon as he is able to overcome
| the dead-center.

An experiment concluded recently at
Marysville, CAL, by DR.. +. A. c. Perrine,
of Leland Stanford university, utiliz-
ing the electrical power line of the
Yuba Power company, from its power
house to Browns valley, distance OF
ten miles, demonstrated that $4,000
volts may be transmitted over a cop
perwire, using glass insulation, against
10000. which has been the maximum
in power transmission heretofore
The result of the experiment will be to
effect a saving of half in the cost Of
wire in the construction of electrical
transmission plants in the future. As
IL is now the cost of wire is about hall
the entire cost of the plant.

INFECTION BY BREATH.
A Simple Illustration Showing How
Easily Disease Germs May
BE Disseminated.

In order to impress on us how east
ly infection may often be disseminated
by the breath, writer in The Hospital
(London) bids us watch the course OF
the smoke expelled from the mouth OF
one who is enjoying cigar. He says:
"The fumes do but make visible what
is happening all the day whether we
smoke or not. Each of the tiny par
ticles of carbon or condensed vapor,
which in their millions make up
wreath of smoke, does but indicate the
track taken by corresponding par
ticle of expired air, which, if it can
carry the visible carbon, can still more
easily carry the invisible microbe.
Thus Whit of smoke entering our
nostrils and penetrating our lungs
does but show the course which might
be taken just as easily by swarm OF
microbes, and serves to demonstrate
one at least of the ways i'll which a
crowded life passed in close communi.
ty with our fellows leads to mischief.
The passage of Whit of smoke from
mouth to mouth does, in fact, but illus.
trate the mode in which the well-rec.
ognized evils of rebreathing expired
air are produced. 1t is not the air, but
what the air carries with it, that doei
the harm. What is illustrated by to.
bacco smoke is sometimes proved in
another way. In the bright sunbeams
notes are said to dance, and by careful
watching one may see not only how
| numerous these notes are, but of what
nasty stuff they are not infrequently
composed. The wheezy flower seller
coughing over his tray Of violets, the
loud-voiced hawker shouting over his
barrow of strawberries, the shifting
child sneezing at the street corner,
the painting person who will shake out
| his handkerchief in the bus before
using it, even polite people talking to
each other, are all doing things which
on dull day seems innocuous enough.
| Let the sun shine, however, and the
tell-tale sunbeams soon display the
showers of saliva and the crowds Of
dust which are thus scattered in the
air and can almost be traced from
mouth to mouth. This is csthetically
abominable. but in the vast majority
of cases probably does no harm. Here
and there, however, these particles
come from people who are diseased,
and carry disease to those who are
healthy. The rebreathing of expired
air is certainly one cause of disease,
especially to those who live in towns
and in close dwellings; and how real
is the risk, and how readily the passage
of solid particles from man to man and
from mouth to mouth is accomplished,
is made manifest every time Whit of
| tobacco makes us cough"
