Japan's Queer Stores.

Japanese are very fond of strolling
through their baZaars. You enter at
one door and leave by another Goods
for sale are displayed on each side Of
aisles that wind through the length
of the shop. Passing up and down
these aisles, they lead you to the Sec
ond and often third story of the build
ing and then back again through diff
ferent aisles, causing you to travel the
length of the establishment many
times. Finally you see the doorway a
few feet distant, but even then you
must travel this maze several times it's
length to escape.
Usually shopping is very restful in
Japan. You sit around on the floor,
and in some shops they bring you cups
Of tea to sip and "hibachi" from
which to light your pipe.-Baltimore

WINGS OF THE HONEYBEE.
A Microscopic View of One of Ma
lures Wonderful Schemes.

At meeting of the New York Mi
croscopical society the president of the
organization exhibited, besides other
things, the honeybee's wing, showing
the booklets by means Of which the
lower of the two wings Of the bee is
joined to the upper wing in flying, thus
making them practically single wing.
The upper of the two wings is. about
half an inch in length, the lower little
shorter. The wings come together
where they are joined to the body;
they are otherwise separate. When the
bee goes into it's hive, it folds it's wings
together, one leaf over the other, so
that they will take up less room. When
it goes abroad, it spreads it's wings and
couples them together with the hooks.
When looked at under the microscope,
the upper edge Of the lower wing is
seen to be REINFORCED as though it had
an extra plate or rib stretched along
there, and to this rib, spaced apart at
regular intervals, though they are all
contained within total space of little
more than quarter of an inch, there
are attached 10 or 20 tiny, bony hooks.
There is little thickening at the base
of each hook, where nature has
strengthened it, and one is inclined to
regard the hooks as inset separately
and to look for the rivets wherewith
they were secured to the plate or rib
from which they spring.
The lower edge of the upper wing, as
looked at under the microscope, is seen
to be curled up into fange or trough.
When the bee comes out Of the hive, it
hooks the hooks on the upper edge of
the lower wing into that flange or trough
at the lower edge of the upper wing
and so makes the two wings practical
~ one.-New York Sun.

"a MECHANICAL MARVEL.
What Sixty Miles nm Hour Means to
the IOcOmOtfy<>

What Sixty Miles an Hour Means to
the Locomotive.
It all sounds simple in the recital.
The wonder If the thing comes into
view only when one reflects on the
speed and nicely with which cumbrous
parts are made to do their duty. The
piston and connecting bar of a modern
locomotive weigh some 600 pounds.
When the speed is 60 miles an hour,
these parts travel back and forth five
times a second. Ten times a second,
at the end Of every stroke, the piston
head is at rest. It must pass. from this
condition to velocity of !, 800 feet per
minute in One-tWentieth Of a second.
The drive wheels measure more than
IA rod at every revolution, but when
going 60 miles an hour they must turn
more than 300 times a minute.
Sixty miles an hour is the merest
commonplace to the mind Of the up
to date railroad man, but it means
other things besides those described
that are wonderful to the outsider. It
means steam pressure blow of 20
tons on each piston head every tenth
Of a second. 1t means that up in the
cab the fireman is throwing into the
furnace two-thirds Of ton Of coal
|every hour No. 900 burns coal faster
than ten men can mine it. 1t means
two quarts of oil every hour to keep
her journal boxes creased and every
thing running smoothly. It means that
the engine with it's half dozen cars and
load of human freight is moving
through space with twice the power of
shot from 100 ton gun: It means
that the engineer has worked her up
to the point where she. can use every
once Of steam, that he is coaxing her
as jockey urges his mount in a fierce
race, and yet it means that he is ready
at a seconds notice to move the re-
versing lever and apply the airbrakes
that will stop the mighty avalanche
within the distance that it covers as
it stands on the tracks.-Earl w.
Mayo in Ainslee's.
