The action of the mantle or wick
like appendage of these burners
has been lately investigated. The high
Illuminating power of the oxides COM
posing the mantle is now attributed
to catalytic or surface action Of one Of
the constituents called cerin. This
earth promotes combustion or burning
by it's mere presence, and its action is
supposed to increase the absolute tenn
perature of the flame, and consequently
the light-giving power of the mantle
heated by it, There is but a small
amount of cerin in the mantle, but
enough to have this effect The prin-
cipal constituent is thoria, which o.
crates to give very fine fiber, or state
Of division of the mantle This new
theory relegates to the background the
former doctrine OF luminescence as ap-
piled to the case in question.

FIVE CENTURIES.
rho Nun Has Been in Use-orizinated
In VPnice.


A highly important jubilee Is to be
celebrated this winter The fact that
Just 500 years ago this popular adjunct
20 miladis toilet made its appearance
for the first time should not be forgot
ten by furriers from all over the civ
ilized world. From its use in only
slight degree during that year in Ven
ice the muff has developed through
centuries until 1t forms today one of
the most important articles in the
wardrobe of the fashionable lady.
Originally made of brocades, silks and
velyets, and lined with fur, fashion has
twisted and turned it in such a man
ner that nowadays it is only as lin
ing that the most costly fabrics, which
formerly were used as outward show,
form its inside finish. While In some
parts Of Europe the muff remains a
robe, and even in other countries its
usefulness is appreciated by many
hunters and deyotees to out-of-door
sports, the muff does not generally
form part of mems wear. During
the sixteenth century. and we'll into
the seventeenth, the muff and the ma
terials composing 1t, and even its pro-
scribed size and form, were made the
subject of legislation by many Of the
European countries. Whereas the
size Of the muff in modern times de-
ponds on the whim and fancy of the
ri ~ a11 !, tn,
were regulated in the good old times
in much more exact manner. When
legislative influence could not be
brought to bear, other means were
adopted to create demands for new
fashions. In most OF the states tHc
fashions in muffs for the fashionable
world were guided by the article worn
by the han8man-a highly important
official in the good old times. When
ever that functionary would promenade
VITA the tools of his profession
wrapped in a large-sized muff, dan
adopt the small muffs. The furriers oil
the period, who, according to histor-
ical records, seem to have been with
out conscientious scruples, in many
! cases bribed the professor Of high
works" whenever their stock of I'M
fashionably large or small muffs re-
CURED livening up. The same shame
ful coercion was resorted to in the pop
ularizing of any old and forgotten fab.
ric OF fur. 1t is feared that the intro
duction of the muff for the use of mo
tormen OF trolley cars might hurt thc
popularity OF the modern muff.

The effort to persuade wcmen to
cease adjoining their hats with birds or
their plumage has not been very sue
cessful, for feminine vanity has de-
manded this slaughter of the limo
cents. Englishmen have on this occa-
sion proved themselves more humane
than the women Of the land. Sir John
Lubbock has secured the abolition of
the use of osprey plumes in tho British
army. He pointed out that these
plumes were stripped from the birds in
their breeding season, involving the
death and the destruction OF their
young by starvation. On learning this
the military authorities decreed that
officers should no longer aid in this
wanton destruction by wearing osprey
plumes in their helmets.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA Fro SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles OF plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
