A syndicate has just been formed in

to the public, G375,OOO Of which will
be in common stock paying 8 per cent,
at a shilling premium, and e319, 900 OF
4 per cent bonds. 1t is believed that
the shares will be taken up by the
market as readily as those issued by
the Newnes, Harmsworth and Pearson

mad on the subject Of trusts it is not

such a project in this country would

To Rival Ancient rrrnt.

Memphis, Tenn, would rival ancient
Egypt. AT least citizens of the mod
ern city propose putting up an ONCE
building modelled after the celebrated
pyramid. The present plan is for a
pyramid $50 feet high, 100 by $50 feet
at the base, and running to a tip. A
seating capacity of $4,000 is expected.
and the cost is estimated at $4,000.
The main floor will be devoted to such
uses as Madison Square Garden, New
York, is now put to, and the remain
ing six stories will be equipped for
offices. The pyramid will probably
be built at some point along the river
front, thus carrying out the Egyptian
idea OF the Nile pyramids at Memphis.

Printed muslins and silks will not
do this year. They must be hand
painted and very lovely and unusual
designs are the result. Let not the un-
skilled amateur imagine that she is
equal to the task of decorating a gown
or parasol, for nothing could be more
unlovely than awkward arrangement
or crude coloring. All sorts Of flow
ers are used-lilies, pansies, peoples,
roses, tulips and daffodils-in wreaths
and borders and scattered over the
goods. One can choose ones favorite
flower, and have the design made to
order, and it Is not liable to be dupli-
Gated. The gown should be cut first
and the pattern made afterward, and
so adapted to the style in which the
dress is to be made. Parasol and fan
are designed to accompany the gown.
Hand painting Is especially adapted to
the decoration of parasols. and in this
form will perhaps be more generally
used, for unless n is able to do the
painting oneself it is a somewhat ex-
pensiVe luxury.

MUSICAL BOXES IN MANY
FORMS.

The chief industry Of Geneva is the
manufacture Of musical boxes. Thou
sands Of men, women and children are
employed in the factories, one Of
which was visited by a traveller, who
gives some interesting particulars
about his visit.
An attendant invited him to take a
seat. He did so, and strains Of delight
fus music came from the chair, He
hung his hat on a rack and put his
stick in the stand. Music came from
both rack and stand. He wrote his
name in the visitors register, and on
dipping his pen into the ink music
burst forth from the inkstand.
The manager of the factory ex-
planned the process Of making musical
boxes, a business which requires pa
thence and nicely. The different parts
are made by men who are experts in
those parts, and who do nothing else,
year in and year out.
The music is marked on the cylin-
as5 hvoA naon who has sSrvqd several
years of apprenticeship. Another man
inserts in the marked places pegs
which have been filed to a uniform
length. The comb, or set of teeth,
which strikes the pegs and makes the
sound, is arranged by a man who does
nothing else. The cylinder is then re-
volved, to see that every peg produces
a proper tone.
The most delicate work of all is the
revising of each peg. 1t is done by a
workman who has a good ear for
music. He sees that every peg is in
its proper place and is bent at the
correct angle. When the instrument is
in its case an expert examines it to
see that the time is perfect.

Secrets of the Living Laboratories In
Animal aud Vegetable Cells.
The news that Wohler had obtained
in 1928 out of inorganic stuffs a GER
tain substance, urea, which occurs in
nature as a distinct pro~uct of vital ac-
tlvity In animals, upset current ideas,
says Prince Kropotkin in the Nine
teenth Century. Then, later on, Liebig
in Germany and Franklin in this IA
try made several important syntheses,
and in 1860 Berthelot published his
epoch-making work. Organic Chemis-
try, Based Upon Synthesis." in which
he proved that the synthesis Of organic
bodies must be pursued and may be
achieved In a quite systematic way, go
ing step by step over the whole series
of organic compounds. At the pres
ent time about $50 different acids, aro-
matte oils, fats, coloring matters and
so on, which are only found In nature
as products Of vital activity, have al
ready been prepared in our laboratories
out OF inorganic matter. Some Of
them are already fabricated in this way
for trade. Every year brings some new
achievement in the same direction; so
that the main interest now lies not so
much in adding a new product to the
already long list Of chemically pre-
pared organic substances as in catch
ing the secrets Of the tiny living
laboratories in the vegetable and ami
NAL cells.

Among recent inventions is a loco
motive headlight which, when the
train is rounding a curve, turns in
such a manner as to keep It's projected
shaft Of light continually upon the
rails, instead OF pointing on to one
side, as occurs with a stationary head
light. The motion OF the headlight is
controlled by means Of an air cylin-
der, connected with the air brake sys-
TEN Of the train and regulated by a
valve in the cab. When the locomo-
tive strikes a straight section of track
the headlight automatically returns to
its proper position.

Of other divers whom / have question

Americans can hardly realize how
densely some OF the Philippine posses
sions are peOpled. Malolos is less than
thirty miles from Manila, yet day after
day the American columns advanced
through towns and cities from 1000 to
10000 population. The fact is, as
shown by the latest census. that the
population Of the whole island OF Luz
zon averages more to the square mile
than many parts OF the United States.
BY the census OF 1880, Illinois had
sixty-eight persons to the square mile
OF territory, and Indiana had sixty
one. Luzon, by the census OF 1889. had
seventy-nine. There are parts Of Luz
zon which are mountainous and al
most uninhabited. The population is
concentrated largely In the richer por-
tions. IN many provinces the popula-
ton exseeds 200 TO the square mile,
which is greater In density than is
found In any state OF this country ex-
cept Massachusetts, and Rhode Island.
Luzon is not nearly the most densely
populated island OF the Philippines.

evidently thought she was a lady, was
trying the patience of an old German
florist while making her selection Of
