WILLIAM WON'T AoOEPT.

Berlin, August a. The correspondent
here of the Associated Press learns au-
thoritatively that Emperor william ha :
refused to accept sthe cabinets resigna-
ton. Later, however, partial reorgani-
zation of the ministry will be made.
The position of DR.. Won viquel the
vice President Of the council of ministers
and Prussian minister Of finance. is as
strong as ever and this shows the improb-
ability of dissolution.
The emperor. despite recent events, is
unwilling to have complete rupture
with the conservatives. The political
alliance which the Freisinnige leaders
and press offer him seems to be unaccept-
able.

glass pickle bottle is required, and the
outside of it must be covered with pa
per or painted black. You also require
a walnut and few feet Of very thin
glass tubing.
First partly fill the jar with water
and then cork the bottle tightly with
a large cork, through which two holes,
large enough to admit the glass tub
ing, have been bored. Divide your tub
Ing into three parts and place one
through the cork into the bottle, but
not touching the water. Another part
is to be pushed through the cork and
into the center of the liquid. Now take
one-half walnut she'll, and bore in the
bottom of it small hole and af11x it
to the top Of the piece of tubing which
is not touching the water. The other
half shell is to have similar hole in
the center, and the tubing which goes
into the water is to be pushed through
1t, leaving about one-quarter of an inch
protruding from the bottom Of the
she'll, as shown in the diagram. A
second hole is now to be cut in this
she'll and the third piece of tubing in
serted, just as shown in the illustra-
ton. All joints should then be sealed
up with wax.
Now, if some claret be gently poured
into the shell marked A, the air in the
bottle will force the water up the other
tube into the shell, B, where it will
find Its level and RIM ont 0f the third
tube. Thus wine is poured into the
bottle and water comes out. The bot
tie must be coated with black or paper
in order that the water inside is not
seen. In the illustration an ordinary
glass bottle is shown in order to clear
ly define the arrangements Of the
tubes.

Hair Green as Grass,

In the districts surrounding the cop
per mines of Cornwall, Cuba, Chile and
other places where the ore is album
dainty found a curious sight is to be
seen in the shape Of men with hair
that is quite green. This is not, as
might be imagined. a fashionable fad.
but the grave result produced by the
mems surroundings. The crude ore, in
order to secure more marketable ar
ticle, is roasted in enormous furnaces,
and it is some strange omanation from
the .smelted copper that effects this
chemical change in the hair of the
miners and turns it as green as grass
Investigations have proved that the
fumes from the furnaces contain Ger
tain quantity of arsenical matter, and
this causes the startling change, al
though the texture and growth of the
hair suffers no Observation-Disclosures

Walking on Water.

There is man in Berlin who sur
prises onlookers by exhibiting himself
walking on the River Spree. He uses
water shoes, not unlike snowshoes, they
being about twelve feet long and no
broader than his foot. The shoes are,
however, not broad pieces of wood, but
hollow zinc cylinders, tapering to a
point at each end, the feet being strap
ped to the centers. Along the bottoms
of each shoe five square flaps are hing
ed at right angles to the length of the
shoe. The hinges Of the flaps allow
them to bend backward but not for
ward, SO that when he moves one foot
forward through the water the flaps
beneath that shoe swing back and lie
fiat, offering no resistance to the move
ment, while the flaps on the other shoe
remain vertical and resist to some ex-
tent the tendency Of that foot to slide
back. By this means, though every
forward step involves a slight slide
backward, he shuffles along with sur
prising speed and safety.-Pbiladelphis

Bali bearing. on tho Farm

1t is probably safe prediction tha3
all manufacturers of harvesting ma
ehinery will eventually adopt ball bear
lngs wherever 1t is possible to use
them. In 1891 the Deering Harvester
Company Of Chicago equipped all their
machines with ball and roller bear
1ngs, and the great popularity of the
IDEA led other manufacturers to e1-
pertinent with several styles OF roller
bearings, hoping to apply them to theiS
machines without appearing to initiate
the originators too closely. The appli-
cation OF ball bearings is more costly.
but popular demand will yet force all
competitors to follow the lead of the
Deering Company.

poultry house. January 20 a large
stove was put into the house and a fire
started with Ignite coal. On Janu-

Dollar watches popul.r.

About $4,000 dollar watches were
sold by single firm Of manufacturers
last year. Tie same firm estimates
that the sale for this year will reach
million. This is pretty good ad-
vance from the figures Of 1894, the first
year that the dollar watch really dawn
ed upon the country. The firm sold 30,-
600 that year. The price Of the watch
is surprising enough, but the really
astonishing thing about it is the fact
that guarantee goes with the time
piece. A dollar watch is one thing. A
guaranteed dollar watch is another.
The dollar watch Is really an evolution
OF the small clock.
