as with gas, there is no danger of an
explosion.
In the matter of expense, the few
landlords who have introduced electric
kitchens in their houses lose nothing.
They employ the same apparatus used
for the electric lighting, and as apart
ment house owners of this kind invari-
ably supply the fuel used for cooking,
they find that electricity is cheaper
than coal. In the first place, a coal
fire is kept burning all day, whereas
the electricity is only used during the
time that the actual cooking is being
done. Then IS per cent. of the heat
from coal goes up the chimney, but in
using electricity the heat is generated
inside the apparatus, and none Of it
can escape except by radiation, which
is very slight.
The great consideration is, however,
that there is no smell or dirt about
the electric kitchen. There is no fire
to rake out or build up, no cinders, no
smoke, and no fame to be seen at all.
The heat is obtained by merely turn
ing on a switch, and it is not necessary
to heat up the oven for an hour, as the
necessary temperature is obtained in
few minutes. What is more, several
famous chefs have declared that the
quality and flavor Of food is better
preserved by electric cooking than by
the ordinary methods. The tempera-
ture is even and can easily be regu-
lated to suit the special requirements
of different dishes.
The principal feature Of the outfit of
the electric kitchen is the oven, which
looks like a miniature ice chest. 1t is
made of iron, with brass trimmings.
and is enameled inside. 1t roasts and
bakes in a perfect manner, and can be
heated up to 500 degrees if necessary
1t is fitted with a number of switches,
and one or all Of these can be turned
on, according to the amount of heat
desired When the heat required is
attained all but one of the switches
can be turned off, and the cooking
will go on with the stored-up heat.
| Then there is a smaller affair-a
warmer-called breakfast cooker A
kettle of water can be boiled and
chops grilled simultaneously, and
very quickly.
The electric broiler is an exception
/ ally clever affair, for the reason that
| the food is not brought into contact
with any smoke or gases, nor marked
by hot bars. This is nickel-plated
affair. BY placing sheet of thin iron
over the broiler it can be used for
warming plates, or for boiling pur-
! poses.
The stewpan is a separate utensil.
mounted on three legs and made of
copper. The frying pan is also sep

POPULAR SCIENCE NOTES.

A new theory of the circulation OF
the blood is put forth, says Electricity,
by DR.. NJ. J. Ro0ermund of Wisconsin,
DR.. Rodermund believes the blood is
driven through the arteries and veins
by the oxygen in the lungs and not
by the muscular contraction of the
heart Instead of the blood carrying
the oxygen through the system he
thinks it is the oxygen that carries the
blood, thus exactly reversing the the
DRY held by psychologists since Har-
vey's discovery Of the circulation of
the blood three centuries ago. DR.. Ro-
dermund boldly challenges the gener-
ally accepted doctrine that the heart
acts as a force pump. He says that
the heart is merely the automatic
governor" on the engine to keep the
pump from working too fast, and that
the real motive power Of the blood is
trical energy. It is well-known law
in physics that all positive electric
bodies repel each other, while negative
and positive bodies attract each other
DR.. Rodermund holds that the oxygen
in the air cells Of the lungs charges
the blood corpuscles with positive cleo
tricity, which causes them TO be driven
violently away through the arteries,
and furnishes them with force neces-
sary to make their way through the

tress Of the establishment, there is a
little contrivance which appeals at
once to the feminine understanding.
It is a cylinder-shaped affair, with a
handle, and is dedicated to the curling
iron. With the electric current turned
on, half dozen irons can be heated
in a couple Of seconds.
Masculinity is not ignored, either.
In the second-best bedroom there is a
shaving pot with an electric attach
ment By keeping the current turned
on the water is maintained at an even
heat, thus minimizing the bother of the
task
The housewife may wonder about
the ironing, and in this regard electric
ity has won the biggest kind Of a vic
tory, for the electric iron never be-
comes cold. 1t is similar to it's broth
ers, except that it is fitted with q
small attachment in which the wire is
inserted Then when the current is
turned on the iron is ready for a full
days work. The heat can be regu-
lated to make it very hot, or moder-
ately hot, and it never becomes soiled
by contact with the top of a hot stove.
Bothersome insects never invade the
electric kitchen, and it has been found
that servants are less inclined to take
cold, because of the equable tempera-
ture

The Hague, May 21.-The second
sitting of the peace conference took
place yesterday and lasted 80 min
utes. The president Of the conference,
Baron De Staal, read the replies of the
car and Queen Wilhelmina to the tele-
grams sent to them by the conference
on Thursday. The president then ad-
dressed the delegates on the subject Of
the labors before them, and 1t was de-
cided not to publish the speech. 1t was
learned that NJ. De Staal placed the
question of mediation and arbitration
in the foreground during his speech.
He next spoke of humane work and
relegated the question Of the reduction
Of ornaments to the third place. It is
now considered certain that mediation
and arbitration will have the chief
place in the work of the conference,
and that the American and British del
egates will take the mos important
part in the study of this question.
NJ. De Staal announced that the
government of the Netherlands would
give an artistic fete on June 16 in
The president proposed the adoption
of arrangements for the committees,
which were agreed to without discus
sion. Baron De Staal further proposed
That, although the principle of secrecy
should be maintained, communications
might be made through the press bu-
reau subject to the approval of the
president This was also adopted.
At the conclusion of the conference,
NJ. De Staal, Sir Julian Pauncefote,
the British ambassador at Washington
and the head of the British delegation,
and the United States am bassadOr at
Berlin Mr.. Andrew d. White, head Of
the American delegation, with several
of the other chief delegates, returned
to The Hague for lunch. But NJ. Bour-
geOis, former premier of France and
head Of the French delegation, and al
most all of the second technical dele
gates who form part of the commit
tees, remained at the House in the
Woods, to draw up certain lists. They
were occupied also with the organiza-
ton of the committees.
The proceedings today passed Off
without any incident. Only the presi-
dent spoke, the others manifesting
their appreciation by slight discreet
murmuS.
Several of the chief delegates are
leaving The Hague for a few days,
pending the preliminary work of the
committees.
The date of the next sitting has not
yet been fixed. 1t depends upon the
progress made by the committees.

queen of Hawaii holds her modest
court. A few days ago one Of her
neighbOrs, a well-known society wo-
man, dropped in after tea to talk things
over. The lady naturally discussed
the prevailing styles, and Miss Ma
guire, the queens lady-in-waiting, took
an active part in the discussion. Her
majesty, however, tired of fashions
and endeavored to turn her visitors
conversation into other channels. But
the visitor, unaware of the queens dis
pleasure, calmly told of the length Of
skirts and the size of sleeves. Liliuo-
kalani, with majestic wave, said to
Miss Mcguire, "Show the lady to the
sitting-room above stairs, where you
and she can talk dresses without dis
turbing me-" It is needless to add that
the visitor took her departure in a
most majestic manner and that she has
cut that savage queen off her calling
list.

when that building is completed next
summer"
Sir Robert Ball, lately astronomer
royal in Ireland, says Golfers Weekly,
provided recently suggestive address,
in the course Of which he stated that
within the relatively narrow sphere to
which human observation is at present
confined, there are not less than 3O0-
100000 worlds. Many of them are. he
noted, gigantic. Their suns are more
magnificent than ours. Their stars
are more neighborly. The conditions
in which they revolve are as a conse-
Quence presumably better than those
which the earth sometimes enjoys ant
sometimes does not. 1t is inconceive
bic, he added, that these worlds should
be devoid of sentient beings who, if
not mortal in the sense which we give
to the term, at any rate, are finite.
And Sir Robert wound up by putting
the following query: What is the rel
ative position Of man? There is rid
die, which, if patiently examined. will
be found perhaps to contain the great
est possible amount of relief for those
whom ideas of their own Importance
bother. Behind the uttermost of these
worlds there are other worlds, other
suns, other systems. Wherever in its
WEAKNESS imagination would set Inn
it there is space begun.
An important discovery has just
been announced in the French acade-
my of medicine by Georges Jaubert.
He has been experimenting on how to
supply air or renew oxygen in air for
man in Theoretically inclosed space
like diving bell. The discoveries
hypothesis was that 20 per cent of the
nitrogen contained in respirable air
remains intact after q per cent of the
oxygen has been consumed, and the
same nitrogen, mixed with a new sup
ply of oxygen, becomes respirable air
when the carbonic acid and the vapor
produced by breathing are removed.
Jaubert found that his hypothesis was
correct. The most important question
was the generation of oxygen 1t ap-
pears that he discovered a chemical
substance, which, by contact with the
atmosphere, clears Initiated air of all
impure gases produced by respiration
and re-furnishes automatically the
requisite quantity of oxygen. The au-
thor states that six or eight pounds OF
this substance will enable a man to
live for "a hours in diving bell.

The electric contrivances in this

THE POETS DILEMMA.

I've an ending for a poem
That | cannot seem to start;
It would please a Hoosier poet
To the bottom of his heart.
I have tried and tried to work it,
But it's clearly no avail;
It's the drumming of the partridge
And the whistle of the quail"
You can fancy how he'd take it,
And he'd marshal all the birds
For their yearly journey southwark
(How he'd find the fittest wordsD
And he'd say that they were flying
Over hill and over dale,
To the drumming of the partridge
And the whistle of the quail.
But for me the lines are useless,
So I'm going TO take my gun,
And III hasten to the woodland
It's duty to be done.
There I'll quickly make an ending
AS to start l seem to fail
To the drumming Of the partridge
And the whistle of the quail.

Fair Young Girl to Grace the White
Householder Notes.

Washington, d. c., May 21.-During
the latter days of June the family cir
Gle in the white house Will annex an
other member. Miss Grace Mckinley,
the only child Of the presidents dead
brother, will complete her studies at
Mount Holyoke college, Mass, and will
hereafter reside permanently with her
distinguished uncle. Miss Grace is a
winsome lassie, with brown eyes and
hair, a merry laugh and all the attrac-
tive qualities which belong by right to
maidens of eighteen. She lost her
father and mother when quite young
From that time her home was with
Mother" Mckinley in Canton. The
younger contingent of society is on the
tiptOe of anticipation since it has be
come known that the pretty young
niece of the MckiE 1851 Will be a mem
Der of their fanitS. Not since the days
of Nellie Arthur has such young and
attractive girl as Miss Grace added the
charm of her presence to the somewhat
gloomy quarters where our chief eX-
ecutiye makes his home. The butter
flies are expecting great things in the
way of entertainments which Mrs Nc
kinley, with her well-known love for
young girls, will surely provide for
Miss Grace.
Washington has seldom entertained
as interesting a woman as Nine Won
Rottenburg, wife of the president of
the university of Bonn, Germany, at
present the house guest of Mrs. Will
liam Boardman. Nine. Won Rotten
burg is the daughter of the late Will
liam Walter Phelps of New Jersey, for
some time our minister to Berlin. Her
cosmopolitan training has fitted her in
an eminent degree to fill successfully
the lofty position which she occupies.
For some years she has been active in
obtaining for the women of the faith
erland the higher educational advan-
tageS enjoyed by the women of the
United States and England. Germany,
Nine. Won Rottenburg says, stands in
much awe of the new woman" the
American brand in particular. The
conservative element, which composes
the greater portion Of the pedagogical
corps, looked aSkance when women as
pired to collegiate degrees. But the
citadel has been stormed. About three
years ago the first gymnasium for wo-
men was opened in Cologne. Nine
Won Rottenburg is one of the board of
directors. Now these institutions are
multiplying with astonishing rapidity
and the German savants are beginning
to acknowledge that higher education
does not detract from the feminine at
tractiveness of the weaker vessel.
Studio teas have been the very
SWEETEST thing which society has pat
ronized of late. But not all American
cities can boast of such sumptuous
studios as we have in Washington TO.
