What Saved Him.

in love with the daughter OF o. wealthy
ship o wner. It was long tefote
the dawn of aesthetic taste. The pro
fession of artist was looked, upon as
merely an excuse: for. .idlenessa !nayi
When it became known that the rich
ship owners daughter had .eneo ouFaged
the. suit Of a painter. society was
shocked. The yonng man had talents,
no doubt, but they were talents Qfs s 9
sort that did not count in thoso days.
One day friend entered FRe ship
owners house, and the won EN- OF the

sisters-begged him atoj renonstuate
with the obstinate Emily and saNeathe

Doing" answered the full feminine 9
chorus. "She's going to disgrace Us
all by marrying the artist. ."fi * ~ %
"Pooh! Poohr' was the quiet reply,
"The fellow isn't enough of an artist
to make it anything of disgrace"
The women were indignant, we, are
told, but it is pleasant TO, know that
when the wealthy ship owner. heard
the story he was so amused that. he
withdrew all opposition to tile mar

Useful CaterpiiIars.

It is now said that the cocoon OF the
tent caterpillar can be carded, II not
reeled. If this prove true, then an ap-
sparently unmitigated curse Will be
.turned.into blessing. The tent cater
pillar IS the great pest of the apple
tree. and it may. he that the apple tree
will take the place Of the mulberry
tree as food for the silk'worms. 1t
is estimated. that an average tree Will
s, support rT ten or twelve tents Of cater
pillars, yielding 1900 makers of silk,
and representing q yield of three
pounds Of silky worth 81 per pound. It
is further said that with proper appll-
ances attached, to the trunks OF the
trees for the worms to spin their CO.
coons in, hot much time would be ex-
pended in gathering the product, which
would equal the apple proceeds OF a
tree at rs cents barrel. However
the worm might be improved SO us to
produce finer grade Of silk, and IN the
end the result would be that the SILK

USES FOR LIQUID AIR;
Many Different Ways In Which This Power
,,,9S. E,'' NAV Be Utilized.


;ru,s n,' May Be Utilized.
1t would seem that certain uses may
be found for liquid air in which consid.
erat!ons Of cost are not SO important as
is the ability to- obtain the effects In
view.rr In warfare. for example, the
possession of highly concentrated en-
ergy stores under control is very I'M
portant. Liquid air can be rapidly con-
verted into compressed air at six tons
per square inch. This would probably
be useful in the protection Of high ex:
plosives Compressed air is now used
for propelling mobile torpedees, or fish
torpedoes, as they are called. Dirigible
torpedoes either depend for power up
on compressed air.or the electric ener;
gies of d storage battery. Compressed
air requires high pressures and very
strong and heavy containing vessels.
LIQUID air can be stored without pres!
sure or at low pressure, while its bulk
represents that of air under, 800 atmos-
pheres. A storage battery would prob
ably be from FIVE to ten times as heavy
as liuuehed. air in a receptacle for
equal available energy. But no storage
battery could be discharged at an
equivalent rate: .. '..S1 ~
Submarine boats and flying machines
may yet fnd,use for liquid air. In the
submarine boat it could be eyaporated
blythe heat Of the surrounding water,
and, after furnishing power, 1T would
rentilate the boat Before the final
discharge 1t could be burned with oil
In a fuel engine and yield power as. q
result. Moreover, control Of the, sub.
mergence" of a boat could be effected
by the use of liquid air, so easily gasi.
fed, to add to the displacement. The
great feature Of the application of such
power as liquid air would be Its
emergency value. By this is meant
the. ability to- obtain; at will assudden
output far beyond the normal Animal
power notably possesses this ener.
gency value, and the success of electric
trolley systems largely depends upon
the fact that when needed the station
can be. called upon for temporary de-

Judge Hilton,s Mistake.

When Judge Henry Hilton, who died
few days ago in New York, let the
great, business of A. T. Stewart go to
the wall In 1895, with liabilities OF
50, $685. ,907, the failure was attributed
to the fact that Judge Hilton ceased
to patronizs the advertising columns
Of the newspapers through which the
mammoth business was built up.
The Chicago Tim Herald; noticing
this fact, shows thnt Stewart never
ceased to be an advertiser: The notices
and announcements of what he had
on, sale constantly appeared in the
newspapers. He. never thought he was
too rich, or. that his business was too
we'll established to get along without
advertising. Up to his last days his
business was constantly kept before
the public. After his death the ad-
yertising stopped or was conducted in
feeble and spasmodic way: The
Tjmes-Herald says:
It ceased to lead because under
Judge Hilton's management it,ceased
to advertise. Judge Hilton was
shrewd legal and commercial adviser
and d~hurd- worker but no advertiser.
He thought the reputation OF the
house of A. T. Stewart would continue
to be its own advertisement. But
that was where he was mistaken.
There we're rivals in the field who
were quick to see the opening left
when Judge Hilton changed the firm
name to T.. j. Denning & Co., and
then to Hilton, Hughes, & Co. Hilton
did nothing to counteract the advertis-
ing of his rivals until they crowded
him from the markets, and in 1895
the firm went to the wall, with liabili.
ties amounting to s2,539, 9O7, and no
available assets.
To this pass had the attempt to do
business without constant and shrewd
advertising sreduced the greatest dry
goods concern known in the United
States twenty years ago.
A. T. Stewart knew his business,
and Henry Hilton knew his business.
But the business of Stewart was dry
goods and that Of Hilton was law.
The one demands publicity, the other
can be transacted best in back Office.
In keeping the A. T. Stewart bargains
in, silks and cotton goods out of print,
Hilton secured privacy in that line,
but killed the goose that laid the
Stewart golden egg.
