Where Men Must Be worshiped.

Woman's present position in India
is realistically set forth in the follow
ing extract from a Government prize
book for the girls schools in the Bonn
bay Presidency:
If tie husband of O virtuous wom-
an be ugly, of good or bad disposi-
ton, diseased, iendish, irascibla, a
drunkard, old, stupid, dumb, blind,
deaf, hot-tempered, poor, extremely
covetous, slanderer, cowardly, per-
tidious and immoral, nevertheless she
ought to worship him as god, with
mind, speech and person. The wife
who gives an angry answer to her
husband will become village pariah
dog; she will also become a female
jackal and live in nm un;uhabited
desert. The woman who eats sweet
meats without sharing them with her
husband will become filth eating vii
lage SOW. The woman who speaks
disrespectfully to her husband will be
dumb in the next incarnation. The
woMan who hates her husbands rela'
tives will become, from birth to birth,
muskrat, living in filth.

A Great ENGINEERING Work.

One of the grandest engineering
works ever conceived has just been
lnaugurated by the laying of the
foundation. stone, at Assuan on the
Nile, of a vast granite dam, which is
destined to hold the waters of the his
toric river in check. This huge wall
will be more than a mile in length,
seventy-six feet high in places. and
thirty or forty feet in width, 30 that it
will form bridge across the river as
we'll as dam to conserve its waters.
The effect of this obstruction will be
the formation of a reservoir with an
area OF about $40 square miles, hold
ing ], 900, 900, 900 tons of water; and
it is estimated that this mighty volume
will be the means Of bringing 25OO
square miles of desert land under
cultivation. The so.called cataracts,
which are in reality rapids, will dis
appear, and lock at each end of the
granite wall will form gates for the
passage of vessels up and down stream.
The work has been planned by Sir
BENJAMIN Baker, will be undertaken
by Mr.. Aird, and will probably be
completed in about four years time.
1t is regarded as the greatest engineer
ing enterprise undertaken in the land
of the Pharaohs since the building OF
the Pyramids. .-Chambers's Journal.

WIRELESS TELEcRAPHY,
A Simple Apparatus by Which Demon
strations May Be Made.

For some time we have noted the
progress made in experiments with
wireless telegraphy. Two weeks ago
the London Times received message
from Frarce across the channel, using
the Marc, mi system. Some of our
readers mly be able to experiment for
themselves by following Elliot Woods
suggestions in the Electrical World
and Electrical Engineer:
The accompanying three sketches
show a simple arrangement adopted
by me for demonstrations in wireless
telegraphy. Heretofore the general
purpose has been to provide suitable
Taper for the coherer in order that
the metallic particles may be dis
turbed and the circuit broken. In
the arrangement shown the sounder
is made to do the twofold work Of
answering the signals and decohering
the metallic filings. I am unaware Of
any similar arrangement; hence pre-
sent this one.
Referring to the sketches, Fig. l
represents thereceiving station, which
in this case is made up of two "wings"
B B, whose length is six inches each.
The knobs used are of inch diameter.
The "wings" are supported by glass
pillars on q suitable base, on which
the sounder A is placed. The coherer
G is q glass tube 24 inches in length
and sic inch diameter, containing
suitable terminals connected to the
two wings, as shown. The coherer is
in series with the wings B B, the relay
ordinarily used, and the battery.
In practice the wave falls on @, the
relay closes the circuit of the sounder
A, and the coherer, being carried on
the movable arm Of the sounder, is
brought down with the arm when the
circuit through the sounder is made.
In consequence Of this, every move
ment of the sounder arm de,oheres
the metallic filings, and there is
prompt and certain action in response
to every signal Of the sender.
The construction of the coherer is
shown in detail in Fig. 2, and approx
imately full size. The terminals G G
are turned down to lit the interior of
the tube G. The space between (about
! inch) is half-flled with iron filings

Shoes For the Porto Ricans.

The average Porto Rican is of short
stature, with feet correspondingly
short. The foot is not only short, but
thick and wide, with a high instep;
consequently the market absolutely
demands a broad last, high instep,
and shoe roomy and full over the
ball of the foot Immediately forward
of the instep and extending thus over
all the front half of Upper to the toe
or tip. This is applicable to both
sexes.
Shoes made long and tapering, to
give shapely effect, can rarely be
sold. The shoe vein and required is
short, wide and very :uii in the upper,
having a last cut oval, being stubby
in appearance, without having the
broad or wide toe. In connection
with the foregoing it may be of in
terest to know that the imports of
shoes into Porto Rico in 1896 were
valued at s712.323.-- .--Bradstreet's.

About Private Mailing Cards.

Many printer who wants to use,
either for himself or for q customer
the private mailing card authorized
by the Government, will be glad to
have explicit information as to the
printing allowed on the face of the
card. There has been some misun-
derstanding en- this point, even though
the law was supposed to be perfectly
understandable.
In answer to an inquiry addressed
to one of the assistant postmasters-
general, the following was elected:
1.-THE words required by law to be
placed on the address side should be
plainly and neatly printed, without
scroll or other ornamentation OF
Oily kind" And, fortunately, that ia

labor and good Typography.

Thsre has been considerable gossip
in diplomatic circles in regard to q
general combination on the part OF
European diplomats in Washington
against members of the Diplomatic
Corps who represent Governments in
Central and South America. This is
not a new feeling and has been mani
tested before, especially by the Span
ish and Portuguese ministers. Other
diplomats from the European conti-
nent have manifested naughty feel
ing in regard to the representatives
from the Pan-American countries, and
the alleged boycott against the Mexi-
can Ambassador has revived this old
feeling. The leaders in Washington
society resent this rumored combina-
tion, and it has been announced that
number of leading women in official
circles have agreed to invite to their
entertainments given number OF
European diplomats and the same
number from the Pau-American re-
publics. If the Europeans decline
the invitation on account of the pres
ence of the South Amercian ENJOYS,
the ladies have decided not to give
them a second opportunity to do 80.
If society boycotts the foreign diplo-
mats the latter will soon come to their
