MICA FOR SAFETY LAMP.
An Interesting Experiment That IL

An arrangement made bJ Herr Max
Raphael. Of Bresiau, Siles.a. is now be-
ing tried eNperimeu'a'll ia several Ger
man coilieries as u substitute for the
glass cylinder Of safety lamps The
cylinder is constituted by two TN plates
Of mica united. and also kept in place az
the top and bottom by being inserted
in two brass rings, the section of which
resembles that of cAauuel iron. the
edges Of the two channe, rings being
turned toward one another. As the
mica plates are perfectly fitted TO the
rings, air tightness is insured, and an
additional safeguard may be afforded
BY bedding the edges of the plates in
red lead cement. This double mica cyl
inder is inserted in the lamp cage just
like an ordinary glass cylinder The
principal advantage claimed for this

ROMAN AQURDUCTs.
They Were built Because There We're
No Suitable Pipes to
BE Had.

People forgetful of the real status Of
mechanical economy in TIE time of the
Romans have often expressed wonder
that they built expensive aqueducts
when, it is proved. they knew the by
drostatic principle that water rises al
ways to its own level
The principal reason undoubtedly
was that they had no suitable material
to make pipes which would stand tho
enormous pressure insepal able from an
'sss3eaEgsals.s sfstem. Lead was out of
nr7uc5tun luI nePurpose because the
pipes would have to be made so dispor-
portionately thick. and, besides, water
flowing for miles through lead would
be poisonous. Short lead and clay
pipes were used by them IN their cities
and houses for the supply of baths, but
without cast iron, which they did not
possess, they could not have made
pipes TO carry water long distances.
Lastly, the water brought to Rome was
strongly impregnated with lime, and
this would have caused great incrusta-
tion in pipes and necessitated frequent
openings and cleaning whereas an
aqueduct, once built, would, as events
have proved, last for very long time
with very moderate amount of re-
pairs.

A PATRIOTIC BABY.
He Was Born with "U s. and Sfnr" on
His Breast After the Fight
Mt COamO.

Near the quiet little town of Coamo,
in the province of Ponce. Porto Rico.
was born on Thanksgiving day re-
markable boy baby. His mother. says
the New York Sun, was half-breed
West Indian negress and his father a
full-blooded negro. The baby is almost
white. More remarkable still are the
markings on the child's breast On the
right side there is a blood-red letter
~" while on the other side appears
the letter IS" in bluish-p,rpe lint.
About these letters are many white
spots like stars, two on either side Of
the neck being ive-pointed.
A visitor who saw the BABY learned
that during the fight of Ccdmo las:
July, when the Pennsylvania troops
were sent to the rear of the Spanish
position, the mother was alarmed while
at work in the field near The road BY
The approach of the American troops.
She was frightened at their sudden APP
pearance, and, crouching behind a
hedge, watched them pass.
The reglmental colors were sudden
~ planted against the hedge near her
a the color bearer rested for few
minutes. She had never seen a full
blooded white man before except the
sunburned and dark-hued Spaniards,
and the Pennsylvania men appeared a.
different race to her The excitement
of the battle that followed added to
her first surprise, prostrating her for
several days. Nothing was thought o
the experience after she had fully re
covered until tn, birth of her baby.
