Skating ON THE
AUTUMN GROUND.
THE SILT SKATE Is A PRETTY TOY
WHICH CAN GIVE THE SKATER
A GREAT DEAL OF AMUSE-
MENT.

To offer to teach the average boy to
skate is somewhat akin to offering TO
teach your grandmother the time-hon-
ored art of embroidering linen, for it
seems to come to most of them as in
stinctively as a duck takes to water,
and America has shown beyond ali
cavil or criticism, that so far as clever
skaters are concerned she can beat the
whole world and give them points al
that. No wonder that every American
boy should feel that it is a national
sport, try all he can to excel in it. and
keep himself posted on all the new de-
velopments. The fathers are looking
out for the same reasons so as TO take
the boy out and give him good time
learning new stunts" to set the other
boys
There are quite a number of new
items this season along the line of
skates. One of the most remarkable
innovations To be tried is an exagger-

Gases of HYdrophobia Rare.

1t has been asserted by many
friends Of animals, who rightly object
to the annual torture and slaughter OF
that there is no such disease as n.y.
drophobia, or rabies, as it is more
correctly called. Those who have
studied the subject carefully, however,
are certain that there is a disease of
dogs which is communicable by one
suffering from it to other animals and
to man. But this disease is very rare,
and probably not n person in a thou
sand bitten by dogs is in any danger
of it, and not one dog killed among
500 supposed mad dogs is really mad.
The word ~hydrophobia is a misnomer,
for a mad dog has no fear of water,
II will run through a shallow pool
without any hesitation; the fear
is that of drinking water or of swal-
lowing anything, either fluid or solid,
as the attempt is almost certain to
throw the sufferer, man or beast, into
spasms. The only way of transmit
ting ~hydrophobia is by inoculating;
that is, by the introduction of the
virus into the body through a wound
of the skin Or the mucous membrane.
The most usual way for this rare event
to occur is, of course, through the bite
Of a rabid dog, cat, or other animal.
But not every bite, even of a genuinely
mad dog. is followed by hydrophobia.
If the animals teeth, for instance,
have passed through a mans trouser
leg Or boot, the saliva, which contains
the virus, may be wiped way from
the teeth.-Youth's Companion.

Hair Planted on Bald Heads.

A Turkish physician has been ex-
p~erimenting successfully on the trans
planting of hairs one by one to bald
parts of the scalp. His results seem
to show that there is no impossibility
in the complete renewal of a lost head
of hair by this means. The physician,
DR.. Menahem Hodara, according to a
foreign paper, tried his experiments in
the case of a disease that had removed
part of his patients hair. His plan
was to scarify the bare surface and
to 1mplant thereon hairs removed from
other parts of the patients head. The
hairs used for the purpose were trim
med with scissors at each end. Some
four weeks after implantation a GER
tain number of the hairs were found
to nave taken root, and in no long time
a goodly new crop was produced. En-
couraged by these results, DR.. Hodara
has since applied the method in other
cases of badness following favus, and
he thinks himself justified in stating
that "clinically there can be no doubt
as to this very curious fact-that
small bundles of hair stems cut with
scissors n implanted in the incisions
made with scarifer can take root and
grow, forming in time long and visible
hairs" BY microscopic examination
he has satisfied himself that after some
weeks a real new bulb forms at the
lower end of the implanted hair. DR..
Hodara's results are interesting in
themselves, and still more in the pro-
mise which they appear to offer of fur
Their results, undreamed Of, or a. any
rate unmentioned, by the ingenious
experimenter. Why should not the
same treatment be applied in cases OF
ordinary badness? Many bald men
would gladly submit to have their
scalps plowed and afterward sown with
new hairs if there was a reasonable
hope of even a moderate harvest.-New

Electricity on Torpedo Graft.

The Japanese government has re-
Gently ordered four first class torpedo
boats from the Yarrows, and in one
of them all the auxiliary machinery is
to be driven by electricity. This will
not only result in economy of fuel, but
it will add greatly to the safety of such
a vessel, because, as is well known
by navy men, a wire fractured by a
shot is not only easily mended, but it
only stops the machinery to which it
is connected; whereas in the case of
fracture of a steam pipe it cannot be
mended with facility; and, worse than
all, the escaping steam drives every
one out of the compartment.

Recent Inventions.

An improved piano stool can be
raised or lowered as desired without
the necessity of revolving it to turn
the screw, the spindle being hollow
and containing one end of an L-shaped
lever, which has a head to fit in holes
inside the vertical base, in which the
spindle slides.
A resident of Italy has patented a
device for the prevention of seasick-
ness, comprising a belt to be strapped
around the waist, with a triangular
pad attached to the inner face, to pre-
vent undue motion of the internal Or
gans when the ship rolls.
Small change is easily carried in a
new coin holder, which is formed of
a piece of metal bent into U shape,
with slots cut along the sides to fit the
different sizes of coin, a spring wire
being placed across the opening to pre-
vent the coins from falling out.
By the use of a new key old rail-
road spikes car be used in old spike
holes, the key being formed of a strip
of spring steel crimped along a por-
ton of its length, to press alternately
on the spike and the side of the hole,
nus binding the spike in place.
A machine has been designed for
rapidly moistening and sealing envel-
opes, having a feeding device which
forces the envelopes singly across a
roller dampened by a water reservoir
above, with a hinged plate to fold the

between rollers to seal it

flour, spices and similar articles, and
one which also offers a bin for the
-four, which is proof against invasion
of insects or any foreign matter. This
is accomplished Notwithstanding the
fact that a sitter is provided at the
bottom for the four. The sitter is
actuated by means of a handle pro-
truding through the bottom, but the
opening through which the handle
passes in it's backward and forward
motions is maintained in a closed con-
dition, to keep out insects and dust,
by means of a shield which covers the
hole but at the same time moves with

there has been recently patented an
adjustable frame to hold the shade,
which permits of the shade being
placed at any desired point. This ar
rangement has also the advantage that
it is Interchangeable and n Of these
supporters made for a window of
standard size can be placed in any
window of the same dimensions. The
frame is made of wire, if desired, al
though a heavier metal is preferable,
and the brackets for holding the shade
are eoldered to it. The frame rests at
desired points on outwardly project
ing arms, which engage with pins or
grooves extending across the grooves
in which the frame is held. The OPP

On the principle of the sounding
board, which repeats a sound at so
short an interval that the original and
the repeated waves impress the ear
in unison, a device called the poly
phone has recently been applied to
the phonograph for the purpose OF

from that instrument. A monograph
with the polyphone attachment has two
horns, each provided with a diaphragm
and stylus. Not only is the sound
made louder, but it's quality is i'm
