Mrs. Hall found II extremely con-

stated. his wife was not quick at her
work. but was a wonderfully skillful

vising new ways to amuse her guests
and succeeds far beyond most other
hostesses in England. For q month
back she and her husband have been
amusing themselves and their friends
with what they call recuperation par
ties. Blenheim, one OF the finest old
country seats in England, is at its love-
liest in the early fall. and just now is
crowded with guests. mostly young
people resting after their dissipations
OF summer and building up against the
ravages OF a winter society campaign

many devotees among Consuelos
guests. and every morning they may
be seen walking barefooted on denny

where near 100 people are staying at
Blenheim. and over half that number
are taking the Kneipp cure, believing
that dew upon the feet in the morning
acts as a nerve tonic. freshening up
the entire system for all day. Tho
time for the dew cure Is between S
and in the morning. for after that
the sun has absorbed the dew. The
walk is taken before breakfast, with

The bath follows. then comes break

days of this treatment to bring back

imposes upon her guests may well be
regarded as an open question.

Attention has been called to the very
remarkable effect of the wind on vari-
GUS inland bodies of water. It is not
unusual for the residents in towns on
the shores of lakes to be greatly incon-
venienced, provided a heavy wind blow
ing ON shore continues for any length Of
time. In the Baltic sea the level has
been altered for upward of eight feet
Sometimes the water is blown out of a
channel, leaving it almost dry. In one
instance a depression of six feet 90
ourred on one side Of body Of water,
with a corresponding rise Of six feet on
the other. Lake Erie has been known to
alter its level a distance Of Is feet on
account of heavy winds and Lake
Michigan was at one time the subject
of considerable interest from the same
cause. The wind was heavy and oontin-
uous and piled the water up On one
side, while the other was so low that
people walked out upon rocks where in
the memory OF man no feet had ever
trodden. New York Ledger

the wood is first immersed for three or

thence passed Immediately into a bath
of hydrosulphite of calcium, TO which
is added, after "a or 80 hours, concen.
trated solution of sulphur in caustic
potash. The duration of this bath is
about As hours and its temperature is
from 30 TO 90 degrees. Finally the wood
is immersed for 30 or 40 hours in hot

How Mines Ars FYpIoded.

There are several methods by which
mines and torpedoes anchored in har-
bors may be detected, but it is very dan
gerous and difficult work, and its sue
cess depends largely upon the circum-
stances and the condition of the water
and the bottom of the bay in which they
are placed. Sometimes they are discov-
cred by dragging with kedge Some
times they can be seen when the water
is clear, and in order to assist the natu-
ral vision canvas telescope is rigged
which drops upon the water and shuts
but the light from the eyes of the OBJ
server 30 that he can have better view
of the bottom. There are other methods
also known to sailors and frequently
practiced. The most effective is called
"coGntermining is, the explo-
sion of torpedoes in the water, which
