Preparing Search Lights.

The Importance of the mirror in
search lights is shown by the fact that
there is not at the present time a suff1-
cient number of these articles to supply
the demand Of the United States. These
mirrors must be made with the utmost
nicely, and the work is such that it is
not easy to hurry 1t. 1t requires at
least a week with present facilities to
complete mirror in the best style of
the art. The glass, which must be Of
extreme fineness and purity, is nodded
into the proper form. 1t Is In reality a
concave lens with a backing OF silver
and protection Of the finest hardened
vulcanite. The operations Of grinding
and polishing must be conducted on the
most scientific principles to produce
perfect results. There is neither guess
work nor question about it. The pre-
pairing of the arc lights is relatively
easy when once the mirror is ready
The first search light mirrors were
made in 1881 in England. France and
Germany took up the business later
and a majority of the work is done in
these two countries. 1t Is possible
however, to turn out perfectly satisfac-
tory mirrors from our own shops Oul
Notifications are at present most i'm
perfectly equipped, very few of then
having any facilities for producing
search lights. In almost all of them {
dynamo must be set up. This, how
ever, is not difficult. the business hav
ing been reduced to such fine art tina
within three or four months every for
nished with these very necessary ad
juncts.

is more than century since the first
attempts were made to build submarine
boats. Since that time many expert
ments have been made in this same di-
rection, most Of them without any re-
suits that would lead to the further
pursuance of this idea. Within the past
few years, however, there have been
several boats constructed that seem to
approximate success. The Holland
boat. just finished, has points of excel
lence worthy of the consideration of ex-
perts. The main requirements of a
torpedo boat are the capacity to remain
lOI given TIME unuef water, COulpIele
eableness and the fundamental
elements Of safety. The risk Of being
locked up in an iron shell and submerg-
ed for any length of time. with danger
of suffocation or explosion, is too great
to be taken without a reasonable assur-
ance of coming out alive. A successful
torpedo boat would unquestionably be
a most formidable element in a naval
engagement. The world Is looking on
with interest whenever such boats as
the Holland are put on trial. Not alone
would these boats be a terror to fleet
but they could approach the very
wharves and warehouses of even oul
smallest cities. and do their deadly
work unseen and unannOunced.

Adulterated Food,

We might do very much worse in
deed in the matter of protection against
adulteration than take leaf out cf
the book Of the French, for France cer-
tainly knows how to protect the lesser
rights of her people. Anybody who
doubts the genuineness of an article OF
food that he has purchased from a
Parisian tradesman may take it to the
municipal laboratory for analysis. 1t
will cost him nothing to have it anal
yzed and the fact determined whether
1t is unadulterated or adulterated, and

Port Royal His vessel was very fact,

draught. This was startling, for should

The proper diffusion Of artificial light
has been the subject Of profound study
for many years. In buildings where il
is necessary to work after sunset, or
where artificial light must be employed,
it has been much discussed problem
lust what to substitute for the suns
rays. AS an experiment, very bright
light has been thrown against the cell
ing, which is of the most perfect finish
oblainable and daZzlingly white. The
light thus thrown is reflected on the
work below and answers the purpose
much better than anything heretofore
used. A further experiment in this
line is being tried in Columbia Uni
versity. The light supply in the new
library was quite inadequate. and the
reflector idea has accordingly been util-
lied with a view to obtaining light
which would be satisfactory. In the
dome of the new library building there
is a sphere seven feet in diameter. 1t
has dead white surface. and at some
distance back in recesses which are SET
at a much lower level than the sphere
are four powerful arc lights These
are so arranged that by means of mir
rors their light is thrown full upon the
sphere. The effect is most agreeable
to the eye, the light reflected by tht
sphere being soft and mellow, but suffi
ciently brilliant to be fully equal to the
requirements of the place. The arr

breakfast in China-

The ordinary Chinese, whether in
city or village, takes his breakfast at
the tea house or restaurant. 1t con-
sists almost entirely of meat rolls or
patties; the latter are dipped in vine
gar, soy or solution of red pepper
when eaten. Sometimes the steamed
rolls, after they have grown old, are
made palatable by being toasted on a.
grill over a charcoal fire. Another
popular dish is doughnut fried in oil.
Baking is almost entirely unknown.
but there is cake of the shape and
size of an OK rib, which is baked by
being stuck on the inside of jar
shaped furnace, in which there is a
hot charcoal fire. These cakes are
sometimes circular, but in every case
they are covered with seeds of the Sc
same, which add very much to the fla
vor Another variety is large, round
cake, cooked Oh a griddle, and which
is divided into quarters when offered
for sale. The Mohammedan Chinese
make similar cake, Of which they are
also very fond. without using any pork
fat. For the better quality of native
pastry and confectionery rice -four is
used. but at the treaty ports and at the
cities to which foreign influence has
extended. many forms of sweet cake
and biscuit are made of American
-four Even for purely native varieties
Of rolls and cakes the American -four
is now preferred on account Of It's
whiteness and wholesomeness.

they return in procession to their
home, the ant-hill. Il have seen this
ceremony performed again and again"
