A Real Hero.

Sometimes 1t requires more bravery
to do a little thing all alone than to do
some great thing In company with
others. Thus soldier may be a hero
III the field Of battle, but lack the
and make II speech.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, In his essay
On "Heroism." says that genuine hero
ism IL persistence. AS an Illustration
he tells how his little son Waldo on his
way to school had to pass house
where lived a French family. The child
heard the family talking their native
language, which he could not under.
stand, and that made him have a sort
Of supcrstitious fear Of them. So Mr..
Emerson used to walk to and from
school with the little fellow.
Hut one day he decided that the child
was old enough to overcome his fear
and pass the house of the French fam.
lily. He went to school with the lad
aud told him that he must return alone.
After school was dismissed Waldo
walked manfully toward home until he
had, nearly reached the French house.
Then he stopped, and. leaning against
the fence. began to whimper. Miss
Elizabeth Hoar. nelghbor. saw him
and went to his rescue. "Come, Waldo
I'm going your way and you can walk
with me-" said she.
The child looked mp tearfuliy into her
ayes moment and then said in the
most doleful voice: g! don't think that
ras what my father meant for me to
TO-" Then he trudged on by himself.
In such ways boys and girls may
Prove their heroism In tie little duties

CLARK INVESTIGATION.
Representative Campbell Tells of the
Plans of the Prosecution.

Washington, March when the
senate committee on elections resum-
ed its sessions today Representative
Campbell was cross-examined by Mr..
Faulkner. He told of the organiza--
tion of movement for the investiga-
tion of Clark's election. "Daly said he
would furnish any necessary means
for the investigation" said the wit
ness, "but would expect others also
to make contributions" Faulkner
presented letters which Campbell had
written to detectives whom he had
employed on the case. In Montana
they were engaged to work up evil
dence, in Washington and New York

to be unfaithful Were your wit

ply.

ingratiate themselves into the good
graces of Clarks friends?" was asked.

ion here inclines TO the belief that no
aggressive movement can be imme-
diately undertaken by Buffers and
Whites forces, hence Roberts is like
ly to soon have to face the enemy,
strengthened by large reinforcements.
While it is generally realized that
Roberts strategy is mainly RESPONSE
BILE for the relief of Ladysmith, there
is anxiety lest his plans suffer from
the hordes Butler might let slip into
the Free State. Evidently Roberts
is awake to the situation It Is re-
ported. but the news is not confirmed,
that General French has already reach
ed Bloemfontein, which is not improb-
able, as the Beers are scarcely ex-
pected to make a stand there. The

ed, but developments may shortly

 The Tugrin Fog-Dispeller.

A piece of apparatus known as the Tugrin fog-dispeller has recently been devised to assist in the navigation of vessels when there is an intense fog. It consists of pipe eight feet in length and three inches inside diameter, far ing at the mouth, located near the nav igating officer. By means of blower a strong stream of warm air is sent through the pipe and acts to blow a hole through the fog. It is claimed that the moisture Is condensed and falls in rain drops, so that the nayi- gator is able to see through several hundred feet of the densest fog.

tt Is in the Tower of the Philadelphia
 City Hall.
 A novel diversion Is about to be in- stituted at the Philadelphia city hall Within few weeks this noble pile, already distinguished as being the highest municipal building in the world. will contain. according to the Press, the highest continuous stair way in the world, and tourists who have hitherto boasted of their mus eular ability in climbing the stone steps of the Bunker Hill monument at Charlestown, the Washington monu- ment or the monument to Gen. Brock. near Queenstown. Ont, will tell their friends of their feat in ascending the o9S steps which lead from tho seventh floor of the city hall of Philadelphia to the landing about the feet of Will liam Penn. Tower-elimbing is one of the fadS of tourists. Hitherto the Bunker Hill monument, with it's 400- odd stone steps, and the Washington monument, which has & few more. have represented the acme of oppor- unity for tests of physical endurance Ascent or descent of these steps has been boasted Of, and though both so cramp the muscles of the leg that the climber for an hour afterward Is hard ly able to walk upright, the distinction has the requited pain. The building commission, adds the Philadelphia Press, is pushing forward the work on the tower stairway, and within two months it is expected that 1t will be in readiness for climbers. It will extend from the seventh to the sixteenth floor and will contain just 59S steps of iron arranged about square, central shaft, in which will run an electric elevator. To reach the tower stairway the climber may mount the 245 granite stairs in the hanging stairways at the northern end of the building, thus making a total climb of 743 steps.

- - ---------~----- HAIR PLANTING.
Successful Experiments of Turkish
 Physician.

7oNSSsSl oA experiments oI IurR1en
 Physician.
 4 Turkish physician has been ex- perimenting 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 lost head of hair by this means. The physician, Dr. Menahem Hodara, according to foreign paper, tried his experiments in the case of disease that had re- moved part of his patients hair. His plan was to scarify the bare surface and to implant thereon hairs removed from other parts of the patients head The hairs used for the purpose were trimmed with scissors at each end. Some four weeks after implantation s certain number of the hairs were found to have taken root, and in no long time goodly new crop was pro. duced. Encouraged by these results. pr. Hodara has since applied the method ill other cases of badness fol- lowing 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 lair stems cut with scissors and im- planted in the incisions made with the scarifier can take root and grow, form- ing in time long and visible hairs" By microscopic examination he has satisfied himself that after some weeks real new bulb forms at the lower end O. the implanted hair. Dr. Hoda- ra's results are interesting in them- selves, and still more in the promise which they appear to offer of further results, undreamed of, or at any rate unmentioned, by the ingenious experi- menter. Why, asks the New York Herald, should not the same treatment be applied in cases of ordinary bald ness? 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

HARDENING PLASTER OF PARIS
Process by Which the Usefulness Of the Composition May be Enhanced.

Composition May be Enhanced.
 These plaster casts are very success ful as rule," said a lover of fine art in the statuary gallery at the Art insti- tkte the other day, but unfortunately. they cannot be long preserved. Ths humid weather, of which We have 2 superabundance in this locality, will destroy them ere many years have passed" This is the general complaint. Recently, however, a patent has been taken out in Germany for the treat ment of articles of plaster of paris with an aqueous solution of ammonium borate, for the purpose of hardening them and rendering them insolube in water. The process referred to is said to give results decidedly superior to anything that has heretofore been pro- posed. The hardening liquid may either be mingled with the plaster in the act of molding or may be applied on the surface of the finished casts with brush The solution is prepared oy dissolving boracic acid ia warm water and adding thereto sufficient am- monia to form the borate. which re- mas in the solution. The manner Of using the solution is thus described: The saturation of the gypsum or 7aint- ing If the plaster of paris is carried out in the cold. The objects are sub- sequently rinsed off and dried. The surface becomes very hard after two days and insoluble in water, while the induration in the interior advances more slowly. By means of the fluid described gypsum floors can be hard- ened and rendered more durable and lmpervious to the influence of the weather. Saturating with ammonium borate is said to be especially useful on the exterior walls of buildings, bar racks, etc.; on the latter, because ex- periments have proved an antiseptic action of the liquid

MICROBES EXIST IN BRooMs,
Household Implement a Breeding Place for Bacteria.

''1 he broom ordinarily is a fertile breeding place for bacteria, and should merit the interest and earnest eonsid- eration, not only of all good house. wives, but of everyone who is interest ed in the health of the family, and the maintenance Of the strictest hygienic and sanitary conditions. It Is not generally known that the ordinary broom is the habitation or breeding place of great colonies of bacteria and unsanitary germs. La grippe, small pox and scarlet fever have been traced directly to this household artiele-the ordinary broom" It is an interesting coincidence that almost simultaneous ly with this article a Georgia inventor announces that he has invented san- itary broom. This broom is furnished with what it's inventor calls a retain CT. which contains antiseptics. The retainer is incorporated in the part of the broom nearest the handle and is shaped somewhat like an incandescent light bulb; it is concealed by the broom straws and is held in place by transverse rows of stitching. The penetration of the retainer opens up numerous small outlets, which, acting together with the meshes, allow gradual exudation of the antiseptio influence in their descent along and dissemination through the straws, in- surfing by the acts of sweeping ths thorough disinfection of carpets, and a perfect deodoriZer of apartments-- Scientific American.
