Queer taeatlresaes.

Reports from London state that I. the opera one night recently Lady Henry Bentlnel wore great punches of peach blossoms on either side of her head, after the manner Of the Geisha. . while an American woman had her head covered with masses of mauye orchids. Lady Algernon Gordon-Len- nox wore an immense headdress of feathers and chiffon. with a big jeweled snake going around the back of her hait and Mrs. Carl Meyer wore striking head structure composed of jeweled rings while Mrs. Heofa Wn- Hams wore around her head two or three rows of roses of various shades. and another woman wore yiolets from the back of her neck to her forehead These remarkable headdresses may be the natural sequence to the earlier re- port that nearly all the fashionable women of London were wearing enor- nous wigs. These wigs were made necessary. il was said. by the fact that the womens halr was failing out SO thickly that a general epidemic of bald ness was feared.

High Price for straixhtaess.

One of the difficult problems in prsc- tieal mechanics is to make straight edge. How difficult it is may be judged from an incident which oc- cured in the shops of J. A. Brashear, the astronomical instrument maker. A customer asked Mr. Brashear what would be the price of "a perfect straight-edge of glass tAirty-six inches long. Tt cant be made absolutely perfect, said NIT. Brashear. but it could probably be made with limit of error amounting 10 only fraction of ways-length of light" How much would that cost?" About forty thousand doliars.7 It turned out that tue customer wanted tue straight-edge for a seraper. and that an error of one sixty fourth of sn inch would hays been insensibls for his 9uCoose.

The greed of base gain goes far to
counteract the good results of civilized
contact with the less developed races.
Said John Williams, the missionary
martyr of the Pacific islands: Il dread
to see an American ship come into our
port, for although she may bring mis-
sionaries In her cabin, in her hold are
the death waters of damnation." A
pathetic petition. signed by Hika Ibia,
Bokaku. Mwambongani Mwujomoto
and fifteen other oddly named native
Christian women, has recently been re-
ceiyed from Benito. in West Africa, be-
seeching their American sisters to use
all their influence to prevent the send
ing of rum, gin, brandy and other IL
quors" to tempt and destroy the people
OF Gaboon and Corisco.

Wherever there is close margin or
a deadlock In senatorial election the
use OF money on very few men is
sufficient to decide the case Now, II
these members Of the legislatures we're
acting in full view OF their constitu-
ents. they would not be likely to sur
render to brides or to create scandal
In any way. But they are gathered
together at points which, though CEN
tral, are remote from the voters who
elect him. and they feel freer to en-
gage in underhand transactions. The
remedy for all this Is to make the sys-
TEN OF choosing United States sena-
tors democratic. They should be chn..-
en- by the people.
The Meeker herald., 1899-01-21

How quickly our soldiers and sailors
resume the employments of peace!
Forty men recently discharged from
the United States service. each with a
shovel over his shoulder, marched in
New York city against the works the
snow storm had built. The soiled uni
forms told of campaigning elsewhere,
and of duty about which there is to
some minds a suggestion of romance.
The unromantic shovel was handled
with vigor which promised well tor
the victories of peace.

One CT the preachers says he Ia half
afraid to give out the hymn. Awake,
my soul, stretch every nerve" because
there are many who have already car
ried the nerve stretching business too
far. On the other hand. he must not
say too much about spiritual rest and
peace. because lazy hearers will accept
It as an excuse for looping down on the
cushions and going to sleep. His con-
gregation may be taken as a represen-
ta.ive Of our modern world. Millions
of men and women are feeling some
what blindly for the golden mean be-
tween overdoicg and underdoing.

Experiments with spider webs. to
test their utility and adaptability as
substitutes for silk in certain processes
in which the latter has hitherto been
used, have demonstrated the SUPERIOR
ity of the former. They have been
proven of great value In the focal
plane of telescopes, but factory has
been established near Paris in which
ropes of spider web are woven to be
used in the construction OF balloons
for the aeronautic section Of the
French army. In this the poor spid-
ers have no sinecure. Each spider is
constrained to produce and spin from
thirty to forty yards of thread before
1t is released-a condition of things
which would seem to make a strike"
on their part morally justifiable! After
being spun, eight of these threads are
then woven into yarn of greater con-
sistency, strength and lightness than
silken cords of the same thickness.
