HOXY Glass L. SOldered.

Margot, in some interesting investi-
cations in soldering glass, has estab-
lished the fact that an alloy composed
of 95 parts of tin and five parts of zinc
will melt at about 392 degrees Fahren-
heit. Becoming firmly adhered to the
glass, it is unalterable and exhibits an
attractive luster. An alloy containing
80 parts of tin and ten parts of alumni
ium, will melt at 500 degrees Fahren-
heit and also forms strong and brill
liant soldier for glass. With these two
alloys always ready to hand, glass may
be soldered as easily as two pieces of
metal. When the glass is heated in a
furnace the soldering can be accom-
plished by rubbing the surface with a
rod of either of the compositions
named. The alloy as it flows can be
evenly distributed with a soldering
iron.

GERMS IN STORE DUST.
Chicago Microsccpist Points Out the
Danger of Throwing SwcepinSs
Into the Streets.

Recently an analysis of common
sample of street sweepings was made
| by DR.. B. l.. REESE, the microscopic,
with results of terrifying sort. Dr.
Riese says he was coming down TO his
| Office in the morning, and as he passed
q State street store where a man was
sweeping the dirt from the store into
the street the dust raised by the broom
and the wind flew in his face. A news
paper he was carrying in his hand
caught some of it. He carried the dust
to his Office and placed it under the
microscope to see if it contained dis
ease germs.
ITO my horror and disgust l discov-
cred the germs of tuberculosis in this
sample of the dust that was swept into
my face" said DR.. REESE. Not only
was the bacillus of tuberculosis, the
consumption microbe, present, but
found there also pus germs. These
latter microbes are the ones that pro-
duce blood poisoning.
"The tubercle bacilli will live for
weeks on the floor of store or other
place where the sun does not shine di-
rectly on it. When it is swept into the
| air of the street, to be breathed by per-
sons passing, it produces infection.
Even the strongest man, when infected
in this way, day after day, will become
inoculated with tuberculosis. The per-
son who walks the streets of Chicago to-
day is wantonly exposed to that most
terrible scourge of the human race, tu-
berculosis, and all through the care
lessness of the storekeepers.
"An eminent authority says that
every year 100000 persons in the Unit
ed States die of tuberculosis. The sta
tistics of 1890 showed that in that year
100000 died Of the dread disease. One
person in every so in the United
States is infected by it. In Berlin store
keepers are not allowed to sweep the
dust from their stores into the street,
and all other outdoor sweeping is done
at an early hour of the morning. In
Chicago the merchants not only sweep
| this poison into the street, but do it
at time when many persons are pass
| ing to be infected. Dust is the worst
and most dangerous of the easily avoid
| able sources of infection in Chicago to-
day."-Chicago Tribune.

WISE WISCONSIN DOG.
He Knows Many Things and Can Pat
His knowledge to Really
Practical Use.

Nearly everybody in Waupun, Wis.,,
knows Billy" He is very unpreten-
tious citizen, trotting around town
dressed in the same threadbare white
suit almost daily, but he has reputa-
ton for being a great fighter when
aroused, and those who know him best
say he is the cleverest as well as the
most rational dog in that part of the
country. He is an inmate of the state
prison, being an assistant in the med
ical department. Some persons init
mate that Billy spends most of his time
in and about the medical department
because, being dog, he finds much en-
tertainment in studying the great va
riety of druggy odors there. AS mat
ter of fact Billy belongs to DR.. G. +.
Messer, the head of the medical depart
ment and is devoted to his master, to
whom he owes most of his superior edu-
cation.
When Billy first made the acquaint-
ance of the doctor he (the dog) was
simply an uneducated sprawl-legged
bull terrier, with certain pride of an
cestry that gave superior tip to his
ears and an exceptional fineness to his
hair. Like other youngsters whom 1
might name, Billy, at this period of his
career, believed that life and happiness
did and of right ought to consist in
chewing most anything that looked
like food, in chasing chickens and other
birds till he was so tired that he sunk to
rest in the nearest sunny dust heap and
in appropriating the softest and contest
cushioned chair in the house.
Then came that troublesome going
to school" that youngsters usually
loathe in their secret hearts. First Bill
ly was taught to sit up on his launches.
This used to make his back ache, and
always, at first. it seemed as II wing.

RACE WITH ELEPHANT.
Hunter in the African Wilds Saved
His Life by Outwitting His
Pnchyderm Pursuer.

Only those familiar with the IMAM
ners and customs" of the elephant have
any idea what nimble creature it real
ly is. Massive and slow-footed as it
looks, it is capable, when reused, of
feats that would be difficult for much
feeter animals. Especially is this the
case with African elephants, which, al
though taller, are generally lighter
than their Asiatic brethren. Moreover,
accustomed for ages to lead wild life
and often depending on their alertness
and speed of foot for their very exist
ence, they have acquired skill in
gymnastics which has occasionally
taken even old elephant hunters by sur
prise.
In illustration of this fact we are re-
minded of a story told by one of the
noble army of British sportsmen in
Africa. He was tout after elephants"
and had just fired at and wounded a
magnificent specimen. Unfortunately
for him, he had only succeeded in
slightly wounding it, when, Infatuated
by the attack, it turned and charged
him. 1t was terrifying sight. With
its enormous ears spread out like sails
and emitting shrill notes of rage, it
came laundering over the ground like
runaway locomotive. The hunter
fired another shot, but missed; his
nerve was shaken, and, throwing down
his express rifle, he sought safety in
flight. Near at hand was steep hill
and to this he directed his steps, for,
being but slightly acquainted with the
climbing powers of the elephant, he
thought his pursuer might be baffled
by the steepness of the ascent. 1t was
a terrible disappointment to find that
the elephant could climb hill just
as quickly as the hunter, nimble run
ner that he was.
The fugitive, indeed, would have soon
been overtaken if he had not thought
OF really ingenious ruse. He knew
that elephants never run nor even walk
down steep incline, but always crouch
down, gathering their feet well to-
gether, lean well back and slide down.
Just as the ferocious animal had got
within few yards of him, therefore,
the willy hunter suddenly doubled and
ran down the hill again! Quick as
flash the elephant turned, gathered
himself together and, trumpeting with
baffled rage, slid down after his victim.
The hunter had just time to spring out
of the way as the great beast came
'tobogganing" after him, smashing
trees and shrubs and carrying every
thing before him like an avalanche.
Then once more the hunter dashed to
the top of the HILL while the elephant,
unable to stop itself, went careening
down to the very foot, where, apparent
ly feeling very sore and disappointed,
it rose and walked YEARLY back to it's
native woods.-Chums.

THE FLAVOR OF HONEY.
some Bees Not Allowed to Sip the
Nectar Of Flowers of Their
own Choice.

Honey is enjoying renewed favor.
Men of wealth and leisure are testing
and experimenting with different kinds
of honey and wrinkling their brows
over the problem of producing what
seems to them the most desirable flavor
during the coming summer.
For the bee is no longer allowed to
pursue his own sweet peregrinations
and sip of the nectar of flowers wher-
ever he chooses. Honey made in this
promiscuous way is much too ordinary.
His actions are restricted and guided.
AS a result, such honey as never was
tasted before is tickling the palates Of
many. If it is the white sweet clover
favor that has gained favor with the
epicure, he goes Systematically to work
to produce it, and plants large plot Of
ground, perhaps half an acre, with this
particular kind of clover. He has it
carefully kept from weeds or any other
variety of clover that might endeavor
to find a footing there. The whole bed
is inclosed and rooted with fine wire
netting and the beehives are then
placed within the Enclosure. From the
bees life, therefore, the spice of variety
is plucked, and, try as he will, he can
produce none other than white sweet
clover honey. In flavor it is very deli
cate and almost white in color.
Yellow sweet clover honey is pre-
ferred by others. The flavor is slight.
ly stronger than that made from the
white variety, and its color is a deep
yellow. Then there is the honey that
is made from thistles and milkweeds;
it is amusing to hear producers of such
flavors tell of their tribulations in maxi
ing these hayward plants grow within
their restriction. Some of the wild
flower honey is almost black in color,
and the flavor is certainly very different
from what it was in the days when
honey was honey, and that fact settled
the question. 1t is almost verging on
the indiscreet to mention buckwheat
honey nowadays, although it is still ac-
knowledged to have wonderful stay.

THE BOY AND TIE SPARROW.

Once sweet boy sat and swung on limb.
On the ground sat sparrow-bird looking
at him;
Now the boy he was good, but the sparrow
was bad
So 1t SHE'D big stone at the head Of the
lad,
And it killed the poor boy. and the sparrow
was glad.
Then the little boys mother few over the
trees
Tell me, where is my little boy, sparrow
bird, please?"
He is safe in my pocket" the sparrow
bird said
And another stone SHE'D at the fond moth
ers head,
And she fell at the feet of the wicked bird,
dead.
You imagine, no doubt, that the tale
have mixed,
But it wasn't by me that the sto1 was
fixed:
Twas a dream boy had after killing a
bird,
And he dreamed it so loud that heard
every word,
And jotted 1t down as it really occurred.
Good Words.

SOME OF BILLY'S POSES.

less and curious insect would begin to
move about at the farthest extremity OF
his tail at the critical moment when
| Billy was training every nerve to re.
| main balanced So the young dog
would blink and look almost fearful
and at last give yelp and start on n
wild race for the end of his TAIL which
| lodged him and darted from him in
manner most provoking. You see, his
| tail had been bitten off in his infancy
and was bit too stubby for con-
venience, Then came learning to jump
through and over arms to get piece of
meat or biscuit. Of course this was fun
and easily learned.
And so Billy's education went on. He
learned to "speak" when told to do so,
and finally became so proficient in
speaking that he adopted the habit OF
calling for his bed ian old coat which
was laid on the sofa) at night. He has
learned to act the part of judge, and
''listens to the evidence and "eXpounds
the law" very learnedly, as the accom-
panying illustrations show. Sometimes
when he is not given enough attention
to suit him he will perform his tricks
of his own accord or climb into chair
and play "peek-a-boo," as you see him
doing in the accompanying picture. He
has treadmill, which he enjoys rum
ming, and he takes keen delight in chas-
ing the sort of cats that like to steal up
on a dog and, with fur pronging out in
every direction, take flying leap and
land on his back. At this critical mo-
ment most dogs give fearful yelp and
run for dear life, but Billy simply re-
mains and settles matters with the cat
If the cat can be found. Billy is also
an expert hunter and obeys sign signals
as well as spoken or whistled ones. He
is a great ratter and mouser and has
learned to adopt che cats methods and
wait for his prey to come out of its hole.
Then he waits for his victim to get
some distance away from the hole be-
fore, undertaking to make capture.
He learned this method by sad expert
ence, for at first he would jump at the
rat or mouse as soon as it appeared and
usually with the result that the intend
ed victim escaped back into the hole.
DIR. Messer writes: "Billy showed his
ability to reason only day or two ago.
A cookie was laid down in front of the
cupboard to coax out the mice from I'M
derneath. One came to the cookie and
Billy saw that it was too close to the
cupboard, so he picked it up and moved
1t about four feet farther out. Then he
went little way back to watch for the
mouse to come out, certain that now he
could get his prey before it could get
out of his reach"
Billy is two and half years old,
weighs A pounds and seems TO under
stand nearly all that is said in his pres
ence. The accompanying illustrations
were made from photographs of Billy
so you may be sure that he looks az
amiable as he is intelligent.-Chicago

WIRELESS TELEPHONE.
Beam of Radiance from an Electric
Search-Light Is Substituted
for Wires.

The success of telegraphy without
wires has set experimenters busily at
work along the lines of wireless tele-
phony. In New York short time since
some successful results were obtained
by substituting beam of radiance
from an electric search-light for wires.
