A Word Of Caution About Liquid Air.
Engineering and Mining Journal.

Engineering and Mining Journal.
The advertisements which are now
appearing in papers all over the coun-
try of companies who are to furnish
liquid air on large scale must be ac-
cepted with a great deal of caution.
The public mind has been very adroit-
ly worked up for the reception OF these
by lectures, paragraphs in the press
and other we'll understood methods.
Undoubtedly liquid air possesses some
valuable properties and many striking
experiments can be performed with it.
1t is not by any means certain yet
that it can be prepared, transported
and used economically on a CONNER
cial scale; or that the difficulties in
the way have been overcome. We do
not say that they may not be over
come in the future; but to talk, as the
advertisements do, of the certainty

Modern Guns.

The work of preparation for defend
ing the coasts of the United States
is progressing very we'll. There are
now IS 12.inch, lis lO-inch, 81 S-inch
3OS rapid-firing guns, and 344 12-inch
mortars in place. The manner ol
mounting modern coast-defense gunt
is altogether different from the old
methods of mounting such guns. A
12-inch gun is now mounted simply in
a hole in the ground prepared for it
upon a disappearing carriage, as we
call it. The carriage revolves upon a
circle upon which the degrees are
marked out--north, east, south and
west. The gun is sigh,el while down
in the hole. The range.6nder reports

east of north, q vessel. Then the gun
is swung around on the carriage to the
point desired. so many degrees east ol
north as given by the range-finder.
Then they 60 to the breech of the gun
and give it the proper elevation to
shoot 4 miles. They then operate the
ratchet and the gun tips up out of the
hole and fires. If the range finder
does his duty, the shot hits every time

present manner of mounting guns and
the old way, when they had to fire out

Two 12-inch guns may be mounted
now on disappearing carriages at a
cost OF about $25OOOO. By means OF
the disappearing carriage, the firing
can be more accurate and rapid, and
the range Of the gun is much greater
as by means of the disappearing car.

SILK CHEAPER THAN A BRIDGE,
Train Load Of Fabrics Risked to Keep a Rail
way Bridge Intact.
Birmingham Age-Heral |,

birmingham ge-Herald.
"At Harper's Ferry on one occasion
the flood in the Potomac was so grea,
that it threatened the destruction ol
the costly railroad bridge, which was
seen to shake in its unsteadiness,' u
said former Governor Thomas G..
Jones. "When everybody present
was looking each moment to see the
bridge 60 down President John W.
Garrett of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad arrived upon the scene. Ap.
preciating the necessity of instant ac-
ton, he gave an abrupt order for a
loaded train of freight cars standing
on side track to be run with the 10.
comotive on the bridge and kept
there.
"But, Mr.. Garrett, that is train.

commanded the great master of rail
roads. 1T would be easier to pay for
the silk than to build a new bridge
"The silk train was run on to the
bridge and the structure was saved.
The silk was being sent by rail across
the continent from San Francisco. al
which port it had been received from
China and Japan. Garrett was q

First FOLDING Bed Patent.

The inventor of the folding bed was
one James A. Johnston, Western
man, to whom patent No. 1921 was
granted on May II. 1857. No provi-
sion was made in the bed for the stor-
ing OF the mattress, pillows and bed
clothes, as is common in the folding
bed of to-day. Also unlike the mod
ern contrivance, which when folded
resembled bureau, chiffonier or other
similar piece of furniture, the folding
bed patented by Johnston made no
pretense of looking like anything
other than just what it was. A com
pany manufactured the Johnston
patent and it had quite vogue in its
day. Little by little improvements
we're made on the bed, and within the
past score of years the piece OF furni'
ture known to-day was evolved, and
there are several hundreds OF varieties
patented.

FIGURING UP THEIR PROFITS,
Thrifty Citizens Of Philadelphia Deciding what
Convention was Worth.
Philadelphia North American.

Convention was Worth.
Philadelphia North American.
The convention managers estimate
that 10000 visitors were in the city
last week.
With this number as a basis the
statisticians have been at work.
The suite of rooms to be occupied
by the national committee cost 5000 a
day.
Many other suites were engaged at
800 day, and from that down to $40
day.
Thousands Of people, however, linn
tied their room rent to 81 day. A
conservative estimate places the aver
age per person at 50 day.
Consequently the landlords and
landladies of Philadelphia enjoyed an
income of $5OO,OOO Il day for four
days. Total, 100000.
Expert caterers agree that the aver
age cost of food per person may be
conservatively placed at So. Thous-
ands of the big politicians paid $40
apiece for dinr.er, but more will pay 81.
This gives a total of $50O,OOO per
day for food. Grand total, 81, 600, 900.
The estimate of 81 a person for
liquid refreshment is low, according to
old campaigners. Total for liquids
81, 100000.
Cigar dealers reaped a harvest of at
least $5OO,OOO.
Street car companies gathered in
nickels to the amount of $250,O00.
In feeding the multitude the butch
ers' share was about $50O,OOO.
The bakers got $3.50 900.
The farmers and commission mer.
chants received $500, 900 for eggs, but
ter and vegetables.
The grocers received $3.50, 900, and
the remaining $4,000 was divided
between the tea and coffee merchants,
the fruiterers and ice cream makers.

WHERE WOMEN HAVE RIGHTS.
Rank in the South Sea Islands Descends

Through the Feminine Line.
There are many social incongruities
among the natives OF the South Sea
islands that are little known to peo.
pie hereabouts. Miss Theodore Cros-

people, writes Interestingly of their
customs. The women, she says, are
not particular about clothing their

nifty string upon string of beads, but
tons and shells as such; to show the
ankles, however, is most immodest.
The children, both girls and boys, run
about absolutely nude or at most with
fringe about their waists, but when
once girl is put on the marriageable
list her mat skirt must reach 80 low
that her ankles will not be exposed.
Marital engagements are made by
parents or friends, generally on the
side of the woman, but quite often by
both parties. As among the Eskimos
and some other people, there is nc
wedding ceremony, though the groom
sometimes throws a piece of kappa
about the bride and a nuptial feast is
spread. Marriage tenure is very nm
certain, depending on the will Of the
husband. But while such relation
lasts there is no such thing as infidel
ity on either side.

A MATTER OF LOCATION.
Bank President Did Not Want All His Employee
Together.

Many and varied reasons have been
advanced from time to time to explain
why people could not have the jobs
they sought, but the reason advanced
by a bank president for not hiring q
young man who came well recon-
mended to him lately was a nov
city. 1t happens that not only the
president, but the cashier, his assist
ant, half dozen tellers and other Of
ficials and employees of the bank live
in the suburbs along the Northwestern
railroad. Many of them live in one
town-enough to form little club.
and the rest are scattered along the
right of way from Clybourn Junction
to Winnetka.
When the young man came in with
his application and his letters OF rec
ommendation the president looked
them over and seemed favorably im-
pressed. Then he asked the applicant
where his home was.
"Glencoe," said the young man
proudly. There is world OF respect
ability suggested by the very word.
"What?" asked the president, can
other one? I'm afraid that settles it.
We can't have all the employees OF
this bank living on one railroad. Sup
pose the Northwestern were showed
mp some morning and we were all
blocked. There would be no one to
open up the bank and begin business.
You'll have to move to some other
part of town or can't pass on this fa-
vorably."
And the young man pulled up
stakes and located in Woodlawn.

Thinner Than Tissue.

Goldbeaters, by hammering, can
reduce gold leaves so thin that 282,.
GOO must be laid upon each other to
produce the thickness of an inch, yet
each leaf is so perfect and free from
holes that one OF them laid upon any
surface, as in gliding, gives the ap-
pearance of solid gold. They are SC
thin that if formed into book 1,5OC
would only occupy the space of q
single leaf of common paper, and an

SERVED IN A POOLROOM.
Mamie AzbelI Obtained Work by Adopting
Masculine Attire.

Mamie Azbell OF Los Angeles, Cal,
is one of the few young women who
have made success in life while
wearing the habiliments of the oppo-
site sex. A year ago she was in sore
straits. She was in need of work by
means of which to earn her daily
bread, but nothing offered. In her ex-
tremity she donned male attire and
took position in poolroom. She
took the role of boy admirably. She
never smoked or drank or swore or
gambled, but yet she never aroused
any suspicion that she was other than
what she appeared to be. She was as
keen as a needle at business, always
wore neat white coat and polished
the billiard balls with tileless assidu-
ity. She seemed to he the right boy
in the right place. The probability is
that she would never have been found
out il she had not voluntarily changed
her clothing. She only did this when
she had good opportunity to take a
situation as q woman. Before she
made the change, however, she was
heartily sick of appearing as man,
however successful she was.
1t was about a year ago that the
proprietor of poolroom in Los Ange-
les was approached by difiident,
bashful youth, who asked for employ
ment. Apparently he was about 1S
years old, rather undersized for his
years, and with beardless face and
frail physique that indicated lack of
experience with the hard manual la
bor of the shops or fields. The resort
was in the midst of the district given
over largely to the gamblers and the
lower classes of the city's population,
and where it is not regarded as partic-
ularly good form to ask for references.
A boy was needed to assist the proprie-
tor about the place and the applicant
was engaged.
George" was the name the lad
gave. Where George lived, how he
spent his spare hours or his last name
were unknown even to his employer.
Condolences were neither offered nor
invited. The work was done satisfac-
torily and that sufficed.
The transition from boy to woman
came about through the poolroom
where she was employed changing
hands. The new owner put young
man of his own choosing in charge
and George" was discharged. The
situation had been profitable, if not
the most agreeable, and with a com.
Portable sum saved the cessation of
employment was not disaster.
1t was probably six weeks later that
a young man who had frequented the
pool room went into Spring street
restaurant. He there recognized the
waitress who attended to his wants as
the "George" he used to see in the
other resort. He learned her story
and is using his influence to advance
her interests, with every prospect of
success.

Freaks In the Plant World.

There is a plant in Jamaica called
the life plant, because it seems almost
impossible to kill it. When leaf is
cut off and hung up by string it
sends out white, threadlike roots,
gathers moisture from the air and be-
gins to grow new leaves. In South
America is a flower which can only he
seen when the wind is blowing. The
plant belongs to the cactus family
and when the wind blows a number of
beautiful flowers protrude from little
Jumps on the stalk.

NEW SCIENTIFIC PROCESS,

\ Preparation Discovered That viii De-
stroy the Dand utf Germ.
For some time it has been known that
dandruf is caused by germ that digs
up the scalp into little white fakes, and
by sapping the vitality of the hair at the
root, causes falling hair, and, of course,
finally badness. For years there have
been all kinds of hair stimulants and
scalp tonics on the market, but there has
been no permanent cure for dandruff
until the discovery of a preparation
called Newbro's Herplcide, which de-
stroys the dandruff germ. Destroy the
cause, the effect will cease to exist. Kill
the dandruff germ and you'll have no
dandruff, no itching scalp. no falling
hair
