Lightning Conductors.

Some interesting experiments bear
ing on the conductivity of lightning
conductors have been made by Prof
Koch, as reported in Industries and
Iron. He formed chain several yards
long with links of iron oxide and plac-
ed it in circuit with two accumulation
cells and galvanometer, the chain
being in a room thirty yards from the
galvanometer. When spark was dis
charged in the vicinity Of the chain

showed that the resistance of the cir
cult was reduced to one-thousandth OF
it's normal value, and in a second ex-
pertinent the resistance fell to one ten
thousandth of the normal. From these
experiments Prof Koch finds an ex-
PLANTATION why lightning conductors
with poor corductivity are neverthe-
less effective in thunderstorms The
oscillations produced provoke an enor-
nous reduction OF resistance at the
proper instant to facilitate the flow OF
current through the conductor.

Featherstone bit her lip, but proceeded.

Mabel declared that she would never

fear Of having it taken, but Alice
laughed at the idea and declared that
she was competent to guard her pock-
ct if Mabel was not. They went shop
ping, and Alice insisted on putting her
purse in her pocket. It had not been
there for five minutes before Mabel,
from pure love of mischief, took it out
unperceived by Alice and put it in her
own pocket. The girls became separ-

must have fallen out of Mabels pocket

The cyclist and the Mlcrobe.

The Lancet" has been givin,, some
attention to the relation between the
cyclist who rides with open mouth and
the microbe that infests the dust-laden
atmosphere Of all public. highways.
Cyclists who ride rapidly and cover
long distances frequently complain Of
irritation Of the mouth and throat
Sometimes there is slight cough,
again there will be Inflammation of
the throat, and often headache. This
is due to the presence of the microbes
That are taken into the open mouth
during the ride. Among these often
slve guests have been found the germs
OF malignant oedema, tetanus septicae-
mia and tuberculosis, any one Of
which is quite sure to give trouble.
1t has been demonstrated beyond ques-
ton that these organisms very rarely
penetrate further than the extreme
front CT the nasal passages. therefore
the advantage of breathing only
through the nose becomes apparent.
When the mouth is open they find a
ready Judgment in the membranes Of
the mouth and throat, where they null
tiply with amazing rapidity. Although
these bacteria may find it difficult to
advance far in the nasal passages, it
is strongly recommended that after
long rides spray or douche Of some
antiseptic preparation be used. An
ounce of prevention in matters of this
sort is worth great many pounds of
cure, and the moment of time occupied
In freeing the mucous membranes of
the throat and nose Of any possible
chance of infection would be time we'll
spent. In riding it is not difficult to
cultivate the habit Of keeping the
mouth closed. 1t is also in order to
talk as little as possible while on the
wheel.

New Discoveries in Gutta Percha.

It has been the custom in order to
obtain gutta percha to make missions
into the trees and utilize the exudations
therefrom, which accumulated in large
Jumps or cakes. This continuous bleed
ing to which the tree was subjected
finally destroyed it. Latterly the
leaves of the tree have been used, and
it is found that they not only furnish
an article superior in quality to that
obtained by the old process, but that
this can be secured without injury to
the tree itself. Orchards of these trees
are set out and must be renewed at in
tervals in order to keep up the supply.
The product obtained from the leaves
is less expensive and of very much
higher grade than any previously Sc
cured. It is disable for much more
delicate work, than the ordinary gutta
percha,< is more elastic and resists
the action of the strongest acids. I'm
like the ordinary commercial product,
it has high value even in the last
stages of it's usefulness. Twenty five
per. cent of the original value of the
material has been paid for scraps, ref
use and WORKOUT articles. The ad-
vantages of this new discovery are @
finer article at less cost and material
that has high cash value as long as a
bit of it is left.

The problem of irrigation has, tt
some extent, been solved in some Of
the Oriental countries, but is far from
proving satisfactory in our own lands
One of the greatest feats in civil en-

canal is nearly 500 miles long, tbs
principal branches are about 1900

Origin Of Wood Engraving.

Mrs, Anna Botsford Comstock, Of
Cornell University, says that her in
terest in wood engraving was aroused
through making pictures of insects in
order to help her husband in his study
OF entomology. In lecture on 'The
History and Decline of the Only Amer
lean Art" she states that just when or
where the art of wood engraving orig
mated is not known: that the ancient
Egyptians and Chinese stamped pic
lures on wood in a certain crude fash
ion, and that there is in existence a
wood engraving of St. Christopher,
made in 1928. She also says that this
art has reached its highest perfection
In the United States, though now it is
almost entirely superseded by the half
tone process.

Paris Millinery.

The very latest information from
Paris concerning millinery is most re-
freshing. Hats, toques and bonnets are
to be less elaborate, and after this past
season Of grotesque and elaborate head
coverings the change will be most well
come. The chief feature Of the new
hats will be extremely long ostrich
plumes and equally long quilts. Jet
will also be used in profusion in the
form of large ball pins, which will dec
crate all of the latest creations. Large,
medium and small hats will be in Or
der. All hats, either large or small, for
dress occasions will be composed chief
ly of velvet. Most of the models, re-
CARELESS of size, will be worn set well
back on the head. There is, however,
a broad toque that is placed over the
forehead. A three-cornered hat will
be worn which is constructed of both
cloth and felt. One recently imported,
of brown felt, has a bow under the
brim on the left Side of orange velvet.
Several loops of the orange velvet dec
crate the crown, through which is
hats are little trimmed One or per-
haps two long ostrich plumes and
smart jet ornaments are their only en-
bellishment. Later in the season fur
will be extensively used to edge many
of the latest fancies in millinery. For
outing and stormy weather the soft
felt fedora hats in gray, black and
brown will be fashionable.

A Bright Woman.

A Virginia woman who owns little
land has gone into the business of rails
ing sheep. She spent SIS, paying SO a.
head for ewes, and then turned her
flock into her pasture land. She raised
what she could care for on her land,
selling the rest as soon as they were
of marketable age. She gave only
about one hour day to them and paid
a boy so cents week to keep the sheep
sheds clean and the fodder cut I'D. She
has been in the business about five
years. The first year she came out $40
ahead on her experiment. At the end
of the fourth year she had a f1cck Of
sixty ewes, all she could keep with her
pasturage, and in wool and mutton she
found she had clear yearly income Of

tending from the toe Of the shoe up to
tho band, where screw is attached by
means OF which it is firmly frightened.
The advantages Of this shoe are that
one may be practically independent Of
the horseshoer, as any inexperienced
person who has ordinary dexterity can
ADJUST the shoe without difficulty. An
additional advantage is that there is no
Danger OF tanning the horse by means
OF nails. Many valuable animal has
been rendered worthless by careless
shoelng, and a device that makes this
practically impossible should be looked
upon with favor by all owners OF
horses,
