Science and Esthetics.

In an article in the Archiv fuer Sys-
tematische Philosopher, entitled Bel
TRACE zur Aesthetic" Max Desoir says
there is complex and ramifying in
terconnection of science and art. The
historical sciences of life and mind
contain large admixture of art Much
that is properly scientific enters into
poetic construction, especially of the
romantic order Logical motives and
processes play prominent part in the
origin of the plastic arts. Even at the
present day thought of scientific
character plays larger part in works
of art than is desirable from the pure
ly artistic pcirt of view

An Aerial Steamship.

Major B. BadenPowell writes to the
London Times, describing a visit ne
recently paid to Germany to the dock
yard" where an aerial steamship of
vast size is in actual course of con-
struction. We have all read SO much
about such contrivances in the pages
of Jules Verne and his hundred of
plagiarists that we are not too ready
to believe in the realization of such a
dream. But here we have the evidence
of an eyewitness that the ship is ac-
tually on the stocks, and is to cost
when finished about $3.50, 900. 1t is made
of aluminium, and has the appearance
of an enormous birdcage. Upon this
framework an outer skin is to be
stretched, and in the inclosed space a
number of balloons are to furnish the
rising power. The total lifting capac-
ity will be ten tons, and in gallery
beneath will be the engines to propel
the monster through the air at an .,s-
timated speed of twenty-five miles per
hour.

HOW to ErY

A cook should always have two fry-
ing pans, and third not much bigger
than large plate, for omelets, fritters
and the like. The pans should be kept
very clean. and the butter dripping.
lard or oil must be boiling hot before
the meat or fish or vegetable is put in
the pan. Mutton chops, plain. do not
require any fat in the pan with them
they have enough in themselves-but
they must be turned and moved about
TO prevent them from burning. Always
season the chop with a little pepper
before putting it in the pan. Lamb
outlets and lamb chops must be egged
and Predetermined twice to look well.
Steak should be cut three-quarters OF
an inch thick and should be peppered
but not salted, as that makes 1t hard.
Salt is reserved until after the cook
ing. Fish must be well dried before
frying, in a cloth well sprinkled with
flour. Then an egg should be brushed
over it, with a sprinkling of finely
grated bread or cracker crumbs. The
fat should be boiling when the fish is
put in and there should be enough of
1t to cover. In kitchens where strict
economy is demanded, it is usual when
liver and bacon are to be served to fry
the bacon first, which will leave
enough fat in the pan for the liver to
be put in without other fat.

ArnOr Plates,

In an article in Nature on "Armor
Plates" Mr.. Hatfield says it was ow-
ing to the enterprise of the American,
Harvey that it was found possible to
take soft steel plates and carbonize
them by the cementation process. so
that steel plates were obtained with
faces. containing considerable per-
centages OF carbon, up to 20 or so per
cent, whilst the rear still retained it's
original soft and tough condition.
Such plate, after being treated and
quenched in water, either wholly or
on the hard side. then possessed a
hard surface, against which a shot
broke into fragments. Further i'm
provements were introduced at
Krupp's Essen works, carbonizing the
surfaces by means of gas cementation
instead of charcoal The latest type
of hard-faced plates possess about
twice the resistance of the older type
of plates. This enables a great saving
to be effected in the weight of armor
to be used for the protection of the
modern warship.

Corporation agents, railroad men,
boomers of towns land sharks and
cattle syndicates all learned in the
course of time that Jonas Wolf. though
a full-blood Indian, was equal 10 the
task of guarding and protecting the
rights and privileges of his people. He
could neither be deceived, cajoled, nor
bribed into doing anything inimical 20
the best interests of the Chickasaw ma
ton.
Other tribes were plundered OF their
lands and bankrupted by boomers.
but when those who sought to defraud
the Indians and make them paupers
and nomads presented their schemes
to the Chiekasaws they encountered
insurmountable opposition in the per-
son of a full-blood chief whose patriot
ISM integrity and diplomatic skill saw
ed his people and their lands. He
saw further ahead than others who
were better educated. and to his good
Judgment the Chickasaws are indebted
for their prosperity and intellectual
advancement. Some day monument
will be erected to perpetuate his mem
ory, for the Indians regard Jonas Wolf
as the greatest red man that ever lived
and they call him the father of his peo-
pie.

Cuban. Eager for Education.

The whole of Cuba, according to a
report made to the governor-general
by Alexis Frye, superintendent of Gu
ban schools, seems to be on fire with
enthusiasm for education. Six weeks
ago there existed in the Island fewer
than 200 schools, all based on the old
Spanish foundations, with the eMcep-
tion of few that had been established d
more than a year before in Santiago
by Gen. Wood. There are now 2.O5S
schools in the island. of which POI are
in Havana city, 152 in Matanzas city
and 40 in Puerto Principe city. The
schools that have already reported
show an aggregate attendance of more
than 100000 pupils, and Nrr. Frye be-
lieves this attendance will have in
creased to 100000 before June 1.

(Omaha Letter.l


Jonas Wolf, chief of the Chickasaws,
who died short time since, was re-
garded by President Lincoln, who
knew him well, as the ablest Indian of
his day. For many years he was a
delegate from his tribe to Washington,
and there frequently visited Lincoln.
He was not vain, but had amazing
confidence in himself. and on one occa-
sion, after visiting the union army and
witnessing a serious reverse. offered
his services as n general to the presi-
dent, saying: Jonas Wolf is better
general, Mr.. President, than any man
you have got over there with your
army" Notwithstanding his re-
gard for him, Lincoln could
not refrain from indulging in
frankness. The Chickasaws had great
faith in him. He was governor of the
tribe for years, and so great was his
popularity that he was called father
of his people," When he died the en-
tire nation went into mourning. HIS
career was full of interesting episodes,
which we'll illustrate his character.
While Wolf encouraged the inter-
marriage OF his people with industrt-
Gus white men, he entertained a pro-
nounced contempt for the lazy adven-
turers who sought to mix and mingie
their blood with his people merely for
the purpose of leading vagrant lives.
Upon one occasion a white man, who
thought he had discovered an easy way
to maintain existence and at the same
time step into an influential position
through a matrimonial alliance, asked
Jonas for permit to settle in the ter
ritory. avowing his intention to honor
a certain Indian maiden with an offer
of marriage. The shrewd old Chicka-
saw invited him to dinner, promising
to consider his request later on. The
chiefs large family assembled about
an old dry goods box under the shade
of u tree and their white guests atten-
ton was directed to the skeleton head
of an OK, which one of the girls kicked
toward him, giving him to understand
that he was expected to utilize it for
seat while engaged in appeasing his
appetite. Stranger" said the chief.

Sir EdMin ArnoId.. WIfe.

Lady Arnold, the wife of Sir Edwin
Arnold, is the only Japanese woman
who possesses an English title She
was born in Sendai, Japan. Novem her
81, 1866, and her maiden name, Kuro-
kawa Tama. has the poetic significance
of Jewel of the dark river" A jewel
Lady Arnold certainly is, and she has
already won her way into the hearts
of many of the veteran writer's old
friends and admirers. She is devoted
to her husband and not only ministers
in every possible way to his comfort,
but her tact and cleyerness enable her
to save him many of the little worries
and annoyances which are the fate of
celebrities, and also to help him con-
siderably with his correspondence.
Lady Arnold is extremely well edu-
Gated, and is far more familiar with
English literature than is the average
western girl. Perhaps she sometimes
thinks longingly of the bright sky and
the sunshine of Sendai, where she
spent her happy girlhood. but If she
does she certainly makes the best of
the English climate and its cold and
foggy winters, and appears to be per-
fectly happy in her western home. Her
husbands country is her country and
she has become, even in her dress,
quite an Englishwoman.

little hooks cut out of these support
ing arms are provided for the express
purpose of suspending the work, by
placing the last loops on them, in
crocheting work, thus preventing pos
sible unraveling of any stitches when
the work is laid aside. This ingenious
device is the invention of a Washing

use passes over the back of the hand
between the knIcl1les of the first and
second fingers, and extends around the
index finger once or twice to give the
proper tension toward the crocheting

Miss Gilday inscribed her name and
address on a large white egg with In

Forest and rrnlrIs in Nebraska.

IN paper in Science on recent
changes in the extent of forest land
on the Nebraska plains. Mr.. Bessey
brings forward evidence from eastern
Nebraska which shows that tree areas
are advancing there with some rapid
ity. His observations are supported
by the statements of old settlers. who
invariably tell of an advance of trees
up the valleys. sometimes a mile or
more, while the width of the timber
belts on the streams has also greatly
increased. The keeping out of fire
seems to be the general cause of the
spread of the trees. Two years ago
the same author showed reasons for
believing that the pines of western
Nebraska are advancing eastward,
where destruction by fire or cattle is
prevented and where cutting does not
proceed too rapidly.
