What the Zairgeth Is.

The Zairgeth puzzle published in the
Open Window club columns last Satur-
day has awakened unusual interest
among our boys and girls. The history
of the curious chart relates to gypsy
superstitions that have obtained for so
many years that no n knows how
they originated.
The zairgeth used for the puzzle is a
facsimile of a zairgeth in which Mex
lean gypsies have great faith as a
charm. There are several different
kinds devoted to different purposes.
This one is composed of proverbs, or
notices which the gypsies use on every
possible and many absurd occasions.
When an omar, or ruler of a clan, dis
covers that his patron saints day is
about to fall OF a Sunday during a full
moon, and when his natal planet is ris-
ing, he consults other omars and is or
dered to make a zairgeth, a very great
honor.
Taking a piece of parchment which
has been properly blessed he waits, in
the moonlight, until the zodiac signs
are right Cat some hour between mid
night and daybreak), then draws the
zairgeth squares, measuring exactly an
inch every way, and places a mark
where the first letter of each proverb
is to 20. The proverbs are drawn from
a large number contributed by other
omars. Any one able to make letters
may afterward put them in.

A Balloon Railway.

Hochstauffen, ear Bud Reichenha1l,
in Germany. will soon have one of the
most peculiar railways in the world.
1t will run up a steep mountain side
and will be operated by a balloon. The
mountain is so steep that no ordinary
way of locomotion would do, so it has
been planned to hitch a balloon to the
car that makes the up trip and have 1t
practically lift the car to the top Of
the hill. But the car will be held to
the earth by clamps that will hold the
wheels close to the rails. and the up
ward tendency of the balloon will fur
nish the power. The big bag of gas
will be sixty-seven feet in diameter.
and will have a lifting capacity of about
10000 pounds.

WHITE HOUSE BLACK LIST.
Hhe unlimited Persons Who Crowd Inta
Receptions.

The white house has a black list. II
i an interesting souvenir Of this years
receptions. 1t goes to prove that there
are persons who own fine clothes and
who are no SO t~hin-skinned as to re-
main away from places to which they
are not invited, says the Philadelphia
Ledger. The invitations given this year
to the white house receptions were pre-
pared with unusual care. Lists of the
invited were kept and cards were Issued
to individuals by name. The hereto
fore indefinite and indiscriminate "and
ladies" was not employed. That there
might be no MISUNDERSTANDING the
secretary to the president and the gen.
tlemen associated with him in the man.
ngement Of details let 1t be known
through the newspapers that steps
would be taken to detect any who came
without invitations. But the method
to be employed was not explained. The
trap was set and 1t did it's duty. At
one reception 213 persons who had not
Deen invited came to the white house
and participated. At another affair the
number Of unlimited present was $50.
The manner in which the intruders
were detected is interesting. AS usual,
each guest on advancing to the en-
trance OF the receiving room was told
by an of1cial to give your name to the
officers, who will present you" The
name of each guest was called out
twice, first by the officer introducing to
the nroSihnnt nnI o~o{, l. A. m
who made the presentation to Mrs. NC
kinley. The announcing was done
with distinctness. But this year an at
tache OF the white house stood in a Sc
cluded nook and took down every name
that was called out. Comparison with
the roster of the invited was made sub
sequently and in this way the names of
the unlimited were singled out and the
black list was created. This was not
all. Doorkeepers from the senate and
house were present to add their knowl-
edge OF faces to that Of the white house
ushers. Alphabetical lists of the in
Vited were in the possession of the Of
fcials. When there was a doubt about
any n the lists were consulted. Some
or the unlimited were asked for their
addresses. Subsequently letters were
addressed to several of those who had
come without invitations, asking ex-
plantations OF the breach. Most of the
letters were ignored. Several replied,
laying the blame On congressman, from
whom they claimed to have received
verbal invitations. Half a dozen de-
partment people were caught and their
cases were referred to superior officials.

MAKING OF
Great Care Is Employed In Applying the
Delicate Coatings.

Great Care Is Employed In Applying the
Delicate Coatings.
In a new process for silvering glass
it is practicable to give a f1e polish
to the silver after it Is spread on the
glass. This Is accomplished by
of two solutions which must be pre-
pared with great care, inasmuch as
delicacy of treatment is required, says
the New York Times. To a silver nj
trate solution is added, drop by drop,
sufficient ammonia to redissolve the
original precipitate, caution being OBJ
served to avoid an excess. Afterward
enough distilled water is added to make
the liquid measure one liter. A second
solution is prepared containing 10 per
cent of formaldehyde. The mirror
maker selects his plate of glass, and
after polishing it deftly with rouge and
chamois skin wipes it perfectly dry and
clean. Then a rapid mixture is made
of two parts of the silver nitrate So
luton and one part of the formalde-
hyde solution, this mixture being pour
ed evenly on the glass. From ten to
fifteen minutes will be required for
this application to be completed, and
then the plate may be washed with wa
ter and allowed to dry. In the pro-
duction of an ordinary mirror the dull
upper side is treated to a coating of
varnish, but if the silver side Is the
one to be used, as in optical instru-
ments, the layer Of silver is to be pol
ished with fine rouge. The attempts to
make mirrors Of tin amalgam, experts
say, have not yielded satisfactory re-
suits.
