Impractical Projects.

Wave motors and tide power schemes
have been almost endless in number
The former have, in few instances.
been used for light pumping work at
seaside places, but such pumping out
fits have been very far from demon
strating that the wave motor could
ever be seriously considered as o
prime mover where large powers were
demanded; in fact, the wave motor Is
little better than n toy. AS to power
from the tides, there is little to be said
except that much money has been vast
ed in vain endeavors to turn it to prac
teal account.
The tide power scheme probably al
ways will be alluring and also dls
appointing. The disappointment comes
from the fact that very few people
seem to take the trouble to figure out
how much water and how considerable
n fall are required to give any useful
amount of power. A horse power for
day of ten hours, for example. woulo
require something like 12O tons OF
water falling from height of 100 feet
so that 500 horse power factory, say
would need 10000 tons of water at D
100 foot head. On the basis of 80 cubic
feet of water to the ton, there would
thus be over 100000 cubic feet OF
water. and this would make fairsizec
pond, say about 1000 feet long, 2ot
feet wide and 10 feet deep. There is IL
these few figures something that may
help to open the eyes of the tide power
plan inventor and of those who are
in the habit of putting money into such
things.-Cassln's Magazine.

At the Bauble Shop.

Huge turquoises of clear pale blue
Or of greenish- blue, streaked with cop
perry veins, are set in dull gold, and
make handsome and striking orna-
ments. The conventional turquoise,
surrounded with diamonds, has been
done to death, and is no longer be-
loved of the smartly dressed women.
Among pretty novelties in brooches are
rosettes of diamonds, with a pearl IN
the centre. Two of these rosettes are
united by chains of pearls and gold
wire. and make a most adaptable sort
of brooch. Pearls and diamonds VIII
lead this season. Even the craze for
emeralds and the revived furore for
coral seems to have given way to the
colorless stones in vogue. Etruscan ue-
signs for pendants and charms are
the greatest favorites, but diamond
serpents, lizards. birds, lucky beans,
shamrocks, cats playing with pearl
balls, flying foxes, terriers and wish
bones are fanciful favorites. Enamel
brooches, circular shamrock and heart
shapes, are bordered with pearls and
bear diamond device on the surface.
Bows with pendant ends in diamonds
and pearls are pretty and novel. -

The Care of Your Piano.

The piano is the one piece of furnl-
ture that should be especially cared
for Many piano owners have never
learned how to protect their instru-
ments properly. Keep a space of ten
or twelve inches between the piano and
the wall That will improve the tone,
and the instrument will be safer from
dampness and changes of temperature.
Never put books, music or bric-a-brac
on piano. That deadens the tone and
often causes unpleasant rafting.
When the keys grow yellow they
may be cleaned by being carefully
rubbed with a very fine sandpaper
Another way is to dilute nitric acid in
soft water, half an ounce of acid to
five ounces of water. Apply to the
keys by rubbing well with a brush.
Then wipe every key carefully with a
flannel dipped in clean water. Accord
ing to a wholesale furniture dealer, the
best furniture polish is made of one
third alcohol and two-thirds sweet Oil.
Apply the polish with soft cloth and
then rub dry with another one.
