There rs nothing on earth that
makes one more provoked than the
tendency Of some persons to lay the
blame for every misfortune that oc-
ours to a man on the shoulders OF his
poor wife, who has no possible e
Of retaliation, but must just simply
bear the odium that does not rightfully
rest upon her, says the Philadelphia
Times. There Is another phase Of this
question equally prone to rouse my in
dignation, and that is when persons
assert no man would dare to speak to
a woman on the street unless he re-
ceived some encouragement from her.
That is all nonsense. / know at least
a dozen pretty, modest young women,
who have never even so much as
looked at a man they did not know.
who have been addressed in the most
familiar fashion by some well-dressed
lOafer who thought his personal charm
so great that he could with ease break
down the barriers Of conventionality
and good breeding and be forgiven by
the feminine object Of his admiration.
That many such have received the
punishment they deserve goes without
saying, but many more are merely
Ignored. The girl is too refined to
create a scene, and thus when he has
received only the silent snub, hardly
noticeable to the passers-by, he goes
on his way to tackle another one who
has not encouraged him a whit more
than the first, despite all masculine
assertions to the contrary. Men can
tail-men do fail-ln business with
out having their failure caused by
their wives extragance. Men do drink
without being driven to It by the CO.
quetries OF their witas with other men
or an absence Of congeniality in their
homes, and men do speak to women
on the street without being In the least
bit encouraged to do SO. They take a
chance, and it is a pity that they are
let down so easily when that chance
is not in their favor. But even If they
were caught in the very commission
Of their act of effrontery they would
probably brazen It out and lay the
blame on the innocent woman. Ever
since the day when Adam, the coward,
wriggled out of the responsibility for
his misdoing by saying, The woman
tempted me and I did eat" men have
been inventing lame excuses for their
failings, and are glad enough to saddle
the blame on the opposite sex, though
they know in their hearts they are
taking refuge in the most palpable
subterfuges that deceive very few
women at least, whatever they may
make men believe on the subject.

Metals Made Pllable by raurlo Acie.
Another discovery is announced that
bids fair to give as important results
IN the world Of science as any that has
been made In many years. It is the
result Of experiments carried on by
theodore Olan, a Swedish chemist at
washington, and like many others It
was found by the merest accident. Mr..
Olan's discovery consists in finding a
new element which will soften steel,
gold, silver, inc many other metals.
making them soft, pliable, ana due
Tile as a piece Of putty, and quite as
easily and safely handled. He has
named the new chemical agent tauric
acid, because It Is obtained from taurio
moss, a peculiar lichen, or fungus.
which grows upon rocks and the roots
OF trees very generally In the country,
81 1t has never before been the sub
Ject Of chemical Investigation. The
new acid has been tested by many em-
inent chemists in the country, who
pronounced Mr.. CLANS discovery to be
one OF the wonders Of the world OF
chemistry, and II is believed that II
has e great and important future be-
fore 1t in the arts and sciences. It is
remarkable that the d~iscoverer has
given 1t gratuitously to the world
when be might have acquired a fortune
from Its sale. The process Of making
b acid is very simple and expensive.
MT. Olan describes it as follows: my
plan for bringing out the acid from
the tauric acid is to put in a deep yes
sci a layer Of chloride Of lime. then a
layer Of tauric moss, to the depth OF
two inches, and then a layer Of chloride
Of potash Of about the same thickness,
This is saturated with water until the
lime is slaked away. After the fire
las gone out Of the lime the liquid is
erawn off. After this, creosite OF tar
is added until a saturate solution re-
suits. The solution is precipitated with
a solution of sulphuric acid, one part
in ten. After precipitation the SUI
pernatent liquid is decanted. and the
residue is found to consist OF pure
tauric acid.-Chicago Record.

ReIlwar oar. rhat ColInpss.

An English railway engineer has in
vented a a for lessening the loss OF
life in railway accidents. The plan
adopted, which Is ~favorably regarded
by English experts. is extremely sim
pie. On the ground that the danger
from railway accidents is in the tend
ency of the modern car to telescope
and in the inability Of the present
style Of buffers to take up very severe
shocks, the inventor has designed a car
that will take up and break a very
heavy shock without injury to itself
except in extreme cases. His buffer
car is filled with powerful springs, cal
culated to resist ordinary pressure, but
to telescope under intense strain to
one-third its normal size, thus ex-
hausting the force OF the shock and
saving the passenger cars from injury.
The cars are to be used In pairs, one
to follow every train, and another ia
precede the baggage car, separating II
from the engine and tender. The force
Of a collision would thus be broken.

Fountain window Brush.

An ideal brush for washing windo rs
and such purposes is one which has a
now OF water through 1t. The fountain
window brush shown herewith is the
patent Of an inventor Of Still
water, Mimi, the feature of which is
that the handle, being in two parts, is
made to act as a pump to force the
water to the brush, where 1t is deliV-
cred in such quantities and at such
times as desired by the operator, its
action being entirely under control. In
this case the source OF supply is a
bucket, tub or any similar receptacle,
but where 1t is convenient to make a
connection under pressure, the piston
can be fastened in an open position to
permit the flow Of water. Another
feature Of this patent is the soap cup
on the handle. If soapy water is want
ed It is only necessary to press a spring
and the water is caused to pass through

Prof. Arrhenius, who his recently
Investigated the causes Of secular vari-
atoms in the temperature at the
earth's surface, thinks that they are
more probably due to changes in the
amount Of carbonic acid in the atmos-
phere than to variations in the heat OF
the sun. II the amount OF carbonic
acid that the air now contains we're
diminished a little nor than One-half,
the mean temperature all over the
earth would drop about eight degrees,
which would be SUFFICIENT to bring on
another glacial period. On the other
hand, an increase Of carbonic acid to
between two and three times its pres
ent amount would raise the mean tenn
p%erature Is degrees, and new the hot
times Of the Eocene epoch.

A surprising history is presented in
Bulletin No. 81 Of the department Of
agriculture, OF one Of Americas great
est contributions to the food supply Of
the world, Indian corn. Under the
effect Of cultivation, the recognized
varieties have increased from the few
known by the early explorers to more
than 500. The variations in size are
interesting, especially as regards the
height Of the stalk. This runs from a
foot and a half for some kinds Of pop
corn to % feet for a Tennessee variety,
and 30 feet or more for varieties grown
in the West Indies. DR.. S%turtevant,
the author Of the bulletin, describes
one group in which leach kernel IL
surrounded by a husk, and the ear
thus formed Is itself enveloped in
husks." Some classes Of popcorn
have ears only one inch long, while the
ears Of common corn sometimes attain
a length of 16 inches.

If Importance Is to be attached to a re-
cent letter from Paris, while the Ameri-
cans are in the mlds Of a discussion as
to whether or not death by eloatric shock
Is painless and instantaneous, the French
government Is considering the advisable
ity of disseminating the use Of the gull
lotine for the execution Of criminals and
the adoption in It's stead of a method in
which needles charged with high-tension
currents are shot into the brain, causing
instant death. According to the accounts
given, the head Of the criminal. as he sits
firmly strapped in the execution chair, IS
to be enclosed In a helmet similar to that
of a diver Opposite the temples of the
wearer are two holes through which the
needles, duly connected with the source
of electric current employed, pass. As
the eXecutioner touches the button and 90
turns on the current, the two needles leap
from their sockets and are forced through
the temples into the brain of the Grim
inal. With them they carry powerful al
%ternating currents, which rupture and
destroy the brain cells Will such rapidi-y
that one convulsiVe movement Of the vic
