a very animate description of barber
shop in which most of the familiar opera
tions are conducted by electricity is given
by ''L'Electricien." For example, hot va
ter is obtained by passing the stream of
hydrant through German silver tube in
soapstone case, the tube being electri cally
heated, so that the water is nearly boiling
when il passes out of the spigot For
the crimping of the frizZes OF our Young
women there is no longer necessity for re-
course to the hot iron. For a long time
the defects of this method OF heating have
been noticed, for the capillary artist some
times forgets and leaves the iron in the
heating apparatus too long, so that when it
is used with blond or brown hair if it does
not make a burn, it makes the hair red,
which is even more disastrous" The new
curling-iron heat themselves. In the in
terror of the rods is a ferro-nick wire,
which can be brought up To the proper
temperature and viii then remain at this
same temperature Indefinitely. But
il is in the cutting of the hair that e'ec-
tricity has produced the most complete
revolution. The scissors have slowly given
way TO clipping machines, and these. in
their turn. must disappear before an cleo
trically heated platinum wire, with which
the hair may be burned OFF The appara-
tus. as described, consists of a metal c
comb. along one side of which is sire ched
the hot wire, and as this is passed through
the hair the red-hot wire burns it off neat
ly and smoothly, and at the same time
seals up the ends of the hair: it being
supposed in this way to produce very
desirable effect The method is. OF course,
entirely antiseptic, but it hardly seems
likely that the air OF a BARRIERS shop will
be very pleasant when these new methods
obtain wide popularity.

which are exactly equal with Robison's.
The statement that Robson holds slight
excess of stock, just enough to give him
control, seems to have been incorrect.
Becker and Robson hold share and share
alike in the new corporation, but, in order
to prevent deadlock, each has awarded
few shares of stock to third party, who
holds them in escrow, and is to vote them
only in case of tie. Further. both gen.
