FUNNY FIRE BRIGADE.
ConstnntinOple Has Department
Whose Operations Would Make
Our Firemen Laugh.

Of all the queer things to be found
in Constantinople, none seem so stupid
as the fire engines, if they can be called
by so big name. The houses in that
city are almost all built of wood, and if
a fire does start, it burns fast and fierce
ly, and yet the precautions taken for
discovering fires and the methods of
eXtinguishing them are most feeble.
There is a constant watch kept on
the summit of the old Genoese tower in
Galeta; a similar watch is kept on the
tall tower of the Seraskierat in Stam-
boul, and another on a hill behind Can
dill, one of the suburbs. From this last
place a cannon is fired to give warning
of q fire, and when this takes place
the watchmen of the city knock on the
shutters of all the houses, crying:
There is fire in such and such quar-
ter" And then the fire department
comes running down the street. 1t con-
sists of long barrel carried on the
shoulders of half dozen men, who are
relieved as fast as they get tired by
other men who run along with them.
Arrived at the scene of the fire, there
is tremendous confusion. All the fire.
men get in one another's way, and per-
haps in the course of an hour few
feeble hand-pumps are playing gentle
streams of water somewhere in the
neighborhood of the burning buildings,
if the fire has not burned itself out by
that time. How would such system
work in any American city? Yet this
is the Constantinople method of not
putting out fires. So far there is no case
on record of one having been quenched
by this funny brigade.

AN EXCELLENT CAKE.
II Is Called the Gold Loaf and Has
Few Equals as n Dainty
Suirmer DelIcncy.

This is n moist, DELICATE cake, and is
made with sour milk, which renders it
very tender. At this season of the year,
when milk is beginning to sour easily,
1t is well to have n variety of ways in
which to use it. If it is left long, as
everyone knows, it will become unfit
for use, except fo1 swill. To make this
cake mix two cups of sugar and one cup
of butter. Stir in the yoll1s of four
eggs, and beat well Add n cupful of
sour milli-milk that Is turned to a solid
curd, with good proportion of whey.
Milk that is just turned, or very sour
but not firm, should not be used. Stir
the mixture thoroughly. In another
cake bowl sift four cupfuls of pastry
flour (bread flour will do, however) and
an even teaspoonful of soda. 1t is bet
ter for cake to sift the flour and soda
together several times. Stir the other
ingredients gradually into the flour
and soda, being careful to avoid having
Jumps in the batter. When well beaten,
add the whites of the four eggs of which
the yolks have already been used. The
whites should be beaten to a very stiff
froth before they are put into the bat
ter. This cake is delicious, even with
out raisins or citron. 1t makes hand
some, rich cake, however, for birth
day party if thin slices of citron-
enough to suit the taste-and about
cupful of raisins are added. The raisins
should be washed, stoned and dipped in
flour before stirring them into the bat
ter. Flouring them lightly prevents
sinking to the bottom of the cake. Turn
the dough into very large, round loaf
tin, or two smaller ones, well creased
Bake this cake in moderate oven for
about 40 minutes, being careful not to
let it fall by carelessly opening the
oven door too wide, or jamming it in
any way. 1t is very nice when made
into small cup cakes, leaving out the
raisins and citron, of course. Ice the
little cake all over with chocolate icing
or with a heavy white icing.-N. Y.

A STRANGE NURSERY.
The Surinnm Toad Carries Her Fam
lily Around in Little Pouches
ON Her Back.

The Surinam toad is the possessor of
one of the strangest nurseries known
to science. 1t lives in the dense trop-
ical forests of Guiana and Brazil, and
is a true water-haunter. But at the
breeding season the female undergoes
a curious change of integument. The
skin on her back grows pulpy, soft and
jelly-like. She lays her eggs in the wa
ter; but as soon as she has laid them,
her lord and master plasters them on
to her impressionable back with his
feet, so as to secure them from all as
saults of enemies. Every egg is pressed
separately into bed of the soft skin,
which soon closes over it automatical-
ly, thus burying each in little cell
or niche, where it undergoes its further
development. The tadpoles pass
through their larval stage within the
cell, and then hop out, as the illustra-
ton shows, in the four-legged condi-
ton. AS soon as they have gone off
to shift for themselves, the mother toad
finds herself with ragged and honey
combed skin, which must be very un-
comfortable. So she rubs the remnant

plete rainbow, but its position is diff
ferent for each grating. In one case
a red color falls upon the aperture, in
another blue or green comes opposite.
One of Prof. Woods finished pictures
must be viewed through an apparatus
constructed on the above plan.
A great number of very fine lines are
printed on a single plate, where 1000
parallel black lines to the inch project
to the eye through the aperture the
red part of their spectrum, 2,4OO the
green and 1850 the blue. The plate
bears no trace of color 1t requires
three separate printing operations to
produce this plate. Upon a sensitive
film a 2,00O-lfne grating is laid and
the positive obtained from the red rays
placed on top. Through the two light
is allowed to shine. Whenever trans
parent spots appear in the positive,
linesof this rate of frequency are regis.
tered on the film. These transparent
places only appear where red occurred
in the subject to be reproduced. When
this grating and positive are removed
the 24-line grating and green ray posi-
tive are substituted, and 2,40O lines to
the inch are now printed where green
appeared in the original. The same
process followed with the other graf
ing and positive causes 2,75O lines to
to show blue.
The success of the printing depends
upon adjusting the positives so that
they occupy precisely the same posi-
ton. 1t can readily be seen that they
cannot deviate the smallest fraction of
an inch. A picture may, however,, be
copied any number of times after be-
ing made on one plate. For examina-
tion it is placed between the light and
frame in which is a square lens in an
upright position. The observer looks
! through hole in black screen about
| IS inches distant. None of the pictures
| yet made in this manner will bear
much enlargement, although they may
be somewhat ma%nitied by magic Ian
tern. This method of color photog-
raphy is the mC-St successful yet found.
The first really successful photo
graph of the interior of a mans stom-
ach was made in Chicago recently.
After dieting for two days, &Ir. j. e.
Foster, of Cleveland, was placed upon
an operating table, where he swallowed
rubber bulb at the end of tube.
The interior of the bulb was coated
withphotographic emulsion and served
as sensitive plate. When inflated it
conformed to the walls of the stom-
ach. A Crooks tube placed over that
organ was allowed to remain eight
minutes. The bulb being now with
drawn, picture was developed ON its
interior, as in an ordinary X-ray pho
tograph. Mr.. Foster has taken this,
which shows large tumor in the SOM
ach, to Cleveland, where it will serve
as a guide to physicians who are to op-
crate upon him in hospital of that
city. EDWARD JULIAN.

struggle with a Cougar.

In company with an Indian Port Ar
thur (Wash.) man went fishing for
salmon in rocky river. Suddenly big
cougar appeared at the entrance to a
cave, and with roar crouched to
spring at the Indian. The white man
threw his fish spear at the cougar, while
the Indian ran for his life. The spear
entered the animals neck and ear, and
thus the man held him at a distance and
tried to drown him. But the cougar
was too strong and agile for that, and
finally the spear came out of'its hold.
For four long hours the man and the
cougar fought, the cougar walking
around and around, and every once in
awhile making a spring, which the
man every time repulsed with the
spear. The combat only ended when
the Indian returned, after 12-Inile
trip, with gun. His first shot wound
ed the beast in the side; the second
lodged in its head and killed it.

creasing quantities.
The aluminium engine which oper-
ates the aerodrome weighs little more
than AZ pounds and develops 90 horse
power, when necessary; it also operates
n dynamo which furnishes electricity
for light, signals and for cooking pur-
poses. The storage room is back of the
engine room, and the pilot house is in
the forward end adjoining the main
room. Outside the aerodrome and to-
wards the rear, on either side, are the
paddlewheels, whose 1000 revolutions
per minute are expected to produce a
speed of more than 100 miles an hour.
These wheels are 51a feet in diameter,
and are made of aluminium, with steel
braces. The sails are above the wheels
and extend from end to end of the
machine, with slight curve to the rear.
They have been patterned after the
wings of the albatross, as experiment
has proved that this form provides a
lifting power three times as great as
is given by a plain surface. Each ex-

A few days since, to the annoyance of
everybody, it was found that the town
clock had ceased to toll out the hours
of the day. A jeweler was called, and
an examination made. Nothing wrong
could be found with the mechanism OF
the clock; everything seemed to be
right, and no reason was apparent why
the clock did not run, but the old thing
would not tick. A further investiga'
ton revealed the fact that the sparrows
had built a nest on the face of the
clock behind the hands, ,and had car
ried sticks and straws there enough to
clog the wheels. A longfishing pole was
procured, the birdsIhest knocked out

AMERICA FOR BOYS.
New York Woman Gives Some Ex-
celIent Reasons for Not Educnt-
Ing Her Son In Europe.

moderate means, who to the astonish-
ment of her friends suddenly reap
peared in America after a prolonged
residence in Europe.
"As far as / am concerned, an nuch
more comfortable abroad, where my
little income goes twice as far and life
is much easier. The girls, too, can ed
ucate cheaper and better on the other
side, but there is no doubt about it,
American boys should be educated at
home in order TO be successful men in
their own country. l have watched the
results quite closely, and in nine cases
out of ten it is like fitting n square
patch to round hole when they come
home and go to work. For young men
of property who intend living n life of
leisure it is all well enough, but for
those who have their own way to make
it is, in my opinion, fatal mistake to
educate them there. They lose the
power of assimiliating themselves, so to
speak, and, what is more, they form no
early friendships with their own coun-
trymen. So, after thinking it over,
made up my mind that my boys future
was worth n sacrifice, and here j am,

Great Things Are Expected of Prof.
Langley's Aerodrome.

Arranged and Operated - Prof.
Woods New system of Pho-
tography in Colors.
LspecIal correspondence.l ]

Until May, 1S9S, when the discovery
of coronium was announced, hydrogen
had been considered the lightest known
gas. The knowledge that coronium has
nearly five times the lifting power of
hydrogen has enabled Prof. S. p. Lang
ley to bring his airship to high state
of perfection and render America fore
most among nations in solving the
problem of aerial navigation.
The first machine to actually fly
was launched in 1896. 1t was called an
aerodrome, and it's successors have re-
tanned the name in the family. 1t en-
nbled Prof. Langley to prove that a
body weighing many times the air
which it displaces may be sustained in
midair by a power generated within
itself. The task still remained of Sc
curing power which would furnish a
considerably larger carrying capacity
than that necessary for maintaining
the machine in the air. Another bad
point was that it depended upon its mo-
mentum for support. The perfected
aerodrome is built largely of alumni
ium, and the car, which tapers at both
ends, is about 25 feet long, six feet wide
and eight feet high. 1t has a number

to swell the quantity of literature which
has been devoured by this caprine gour-
mand.
One day last week a small boy en-
ployed by stationery firm entered the
lumber yard to deliver a bottle of ink.
The youth was not aware of the peculiar
characteristics of the goat, and suspect
ed nothing when the animal shifted and
approached. Just before he reached
the office the boy felt himself perform
ing sundry aerial convolutions and
when he sat up he saw the goat placidly
licking the ink from the plank pave
ment near the brick wall of the office
against which the quart bottle had
burst. The goat greedily chewed the
sawdust and shavings which had be-
come saturated with the black fluid,
and smacked his lips between bites.-

trees, and redeyelops similar back
afresh at the next breeding season.
Almost never do we find device in
nature which occurs only once. The
unique hardly exists; nature is a
great copyist. AT least two animals of
wholly unlike kinds are all but sure to
hit independently upon the self-same
mechanism. So it is not surprising to
learn that a catfish has invented an
exactly similar mode of carrying its
young to that adopted by the Surinam
toad; only, here it is on the under sur
face, not the upper one, that the spawn
is plastered. The eggs of this catfish,
whose scientific name is Aspredo, are
pressed into the skin below the body,
and so borne about by the mother till
they hatch. This is one of two in
stances where the female fish herself
assumes the care of her offspring, in
stead of leaving it entirely to her ezs-
cellent partner-Strand Magazine.

so swiftly that observations of an enc
emy's country could be made, bombs
dropped where the greatest damage
would result and the ship be speedily
back at headquarters for further or
ders. Travel will probably be rendered
plcasanter and more swift than by land
and, as the cost of building and operat-
ing will be comparatively small, aero
dromes may be of great use in convey
ing the fast mails and for numberless
other purposes.
The discoveries of Prof. r. W. Wood,
of the University of Wisconsin, indicate
that although still in crude state of
development, practicable method has
been found for obtaining photographs
in the colors of nature. He begins, as
have many others whe have been con
Quoting experiments along these lines,
in taking three separate negatives of
subject, each through screens of diff
ferent colored glass, the shades of
which are carefully selected.
The first negative, obtained by in
serting red glass before the plate
in the camera, registers only the parts
of the original which are red, with an
integrity corresponding to the vivid
ness of tint displayed in the subject.
A similar process is followed with a
blue and with green glass, each neg
ative showing only the parts represent
ed by it's own color. Hence, the black
shadows on the three plates are all
different in place and density. The pos
itives taken from these negatives re-
verse the position of the clouds, being
opaque black where the negatives were
transparent and showing clear where
they were clouded.
From this point Prof. Woods process
differs radically from any heretofore
employed. He uses "ditfraction
grating" which is transparent glass
plate where parallel lines are engraved
so closely together that they act as
does a prism placed before a white
light and viewed through a small hole
when blaze of colored light may be
seen. When one grating is substituted
for another. with it's lines differently
spaced, a different color appears at the
peephole. Each grating makes COM

Ties are extensively trimmed with
ribbons this year. a novel black satin
design was stitched in white gros grain

charming. The tongue was slipped

Another pretty tie has a vamp OF
