WONDERFUL NATURE FORCES.

New forces in nature are being con-
stantly discovered, and nobody but an
expert attempts to describe them with
accuracy. Some of the experiments
border on the miraculous. There is
that one, for instance, with liquified
air in which quicksilver is frozen.
The mercury is poured into a mould
having hammer shape, and is sub
jected to the temperature of liquid air
two hundred and forty degrees below
zero. from which it comes out in so
solid form that it can be used to
drive nails. For an hour it's solidity
of form is preserved. Then there is
another experiment, seemingly still
more marvellous. Liquified air is
brought into contact with a lump of
ice, and the latent heat in the ice boils
the liquified air. Yet water freezes
at thirty-two. Compressed air has
been developed as a great power, and
is soon to be put into practical opera
ton on certain railroads. Two cross
town car lines are to be run by it
within a few weeks, and between 125th
Street and Yonkers locomotive run
by compressed air is to be started.
Think of all the dirt and dust that
would be saved the summer traveller
were cars to be operated altogether by
this force! Private street carriages
may also ultimately be run by it. The
cost is said to be slight, and the pow
er enormous. Even without Keely's
secrets. therefore, we can do very well
for decaie or two, and by that time
some one else will be on the track of
his special and well-guarded discovery.
For nature is nothing If not prodigal
with her favors, and his secrets are
never intended for the special few. So
soon as the majority can understand
the latest of them she yields it over.
and she is not half as reluctant about
revealing herself as we are slow in
perceiving what she extends to us. 1t
is interesting to remember that the
hitherto invisible and immaterial
forces are those which within the
century have been mourning the de-
cadence OF those crafts which made
the glory of other times, they have
been steadily progressing into the
realm of higher revelations and to
excellence on different plane.-Har-
per's Bazaar.

the air allowed to press upon the ear.
The submarine cable. which is water
proof, passes through the front OF the
helmet by means of a stufting tox,
and sound is so easily transmitted that
the tender can readily hear anything
sbove whisper said by the diver.
Fhe tender is not Obliged to use his
lands about the telephone and there
fore has them free for handling the
ropes connected with the diver under
his care. BY the use of these tele-
phones the diver can give immediate
notice to his tender of any accident,
fall, or any other peril that mag befall
him, he can order anything he may
need to be sent down to him, or he
may have Connection made with another
diver, working at some distance from
him, and can thus communicate read
lily with him on the work in hand.
The advantage to the diver and to the
world of this submarine telephone can
not be overestimated. One has only
40 read accounts Of the frightful acct
dents happening to divers while pur-
suing their dangerous occupation
accidents which might have been
averted, or at least, remedied could the
diver have had the use of one of these
instruments-to realize the inestim-
able value of this invention.

ROMANCES OF THREE MISERS.

An Englishwoman who died at Caen
many years in strict seclusion, left
$4,000 to the London City Mission
She lived the live of miser and was
at last, in her eighty-sixth year, found
by her neighbors in the solitude OF her
house, starved to death.
Schultheis Won Meiss, who recently
died in Zurich at the age of eighty
six, was for years reputed to be miser
who secluded himself to gloat over
his gold. But 1t appears that while he
spent little on himself ne acquired a
rare collection of paintings, which he
bequeathed to the state. The collec-
ton comprises $1,000 pieces, all OF the
highest merit. Rembrandt is repre-
sented by POI pieces, Lucas de Leyde
by 158, Albert Durer by Ill and
Schoengauer by 49,.
The late Countess Balsch, of the
Roumanian nobility, was an extTaordi-
nary character. Although extremely
rich, she was miser and hardly spent
a penny, except in defending law
suit which her only daughter, who had
incurred the countess's displeasure by
marrying without her consent, had
started against her. When the author
tiles entered the dead countess's dwell
ing to take possession of her property
they discovered, secreted in number
less impossible places, no less than
100000 francs. While making a
final inventory they found hid in a
bundle of old moth-eaten curtains a
box containing another 10000 francs.
Numberless little cheap notebooks
were also found in which this eccen-
trio being had noted down every half
penny spent. Some books devoted to
her law expenses were headed costs
