the latest machinery, including pneumatic

The Size OF RaindrOps.
From the London Express.


The Paris Meteorologist Society has un-
dertaken the 1aborious task Of measuring
the dimensions of raindrops.
1t is found that the largest are about one
sixth of an inch, and the smallest one-fye-
hundredth of an inch in diameter.
They are larger In summer than in win
ter and larger in hot than in cold climates.
At the moment of condensation of the
water vapor to the liquid state great num-
bers of extremely small drops are formed
in close proximity.
AS they fall they come together, and
coalesce in consequence of mutual attrac-
ton, and so what we call raindrops are
formed.
In the summer the lower strata of air are
warmer than in winter, and therefore clouds
are formed at a greater height where con-
ditions are favorable for rapid condensa-
tion.
The drops falling from these high sum-
mer clouds have more, time to grow, and
therefore become Larger than the winter
In winter. as is we'll known, clouds often
exist very near the ground. The velocity
with which raindrops fall depends both on
their size and on the wind, which makes
them fall obliqueiy.
Other things being equal, drop of
medium size, say, one-1ftieth of an inch In
diameter, may strike the ground with a
velocity of some 13 feet second while a
very large drop. measuring ene-sixth of an
inch, may attain speed of 80 feet a Sec

JeweIed Lace.
rom the Pail Mall Gazette.

Long years ago 1t was the custom. both
in Italy and France, for lace collars ana
ruffs hair nets, scarfs and sashes to be
jeweled elaborately with precious stones
as many old portraits conclusively prove.
In the time of the directoire, however,
when absolute simplicity led the vogue, the
fashion fer wearing lace that was set with
jewels died out altogether. II has lately
occurred, however, to Mrs. Nevill Jackson,
the authoress of "A History of Hand made
Lace" and herself a great lover Of lace,
that 1t might be possible. In view of the
present admiration for real lace and appre-
citation of its beauties, to revive this pic
turesque fashion. That Mrs. Nevill jack
son has every prospect Of seeing the prompt
fulfllment of her project seems more than
likely, to judge from the beautiful specl-
mems of gem-incrusted lace which We're
shown under her auspices and direction at
the Quest Gallery. Here may be seen, for
instance, a yoke or square collar of Vene-
tian point lace, set with turquotses, and q
bodice trimming of Brussels point, set with
sapphires while as a hair ornament there
Is a butterfly of black Chantilly lace set
with rose diamonds and finished with
forms, after all. an ideal background for
precious stones of every color and kind. and
when We admire at the Quest Gallery. as
we fain must do. a dainty fan of white
lace, set with turquoises, or a long scarf
of black Chantilly, the ends of which are
jeweled with diamonds and pearls. we can
only wonder that so beautiful a form of or
namentation should ever have been neglect
ed or allowed to fall out of favor.

Fish Hooks.
the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

rom the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
A conservative estimate places the num-
Der of common fish hooks sold every wear
in the vicinity of Cleveland at 300 900
Probably over twice that number are sold
through Cleveland jobbers but the local
disciples of Izaak Walton use enough to
raise a stare from the casual investigator.
The discovery that sucfpa number of hooks
is annually used lends color to the stories
of the biggest fish I ever saw got away
with my hook" One dealer stated that his
firm alone sold over 100000 fish books an
nually. Many of them are shipped long
distances.
"Curiously enough" said the dealer.
America imports most of her fish hooks
from England. They all come from the VIII
lage of Ridditch, and a manufacturer of
the name of Allcox turns out the best of
them. They are all hand made, and the
little children of Ridditch file and polish our
fish hooks. There Is now one American
company located at Akron. They turned
out millions of hooks last year"
Fish hooks are made in a bewiidefing
variety of styles and sizes. The quality Is
determined by the twist and shape of the
hook. The wire of which they are made
varies with the size. The dealer exhibit ed
tical use any fish. This Is the hook that
has supplanted the bent pin in the favor of
the small boy who pursues the elusive min
now. Two hooks were exhibited that figure
in ocean fishing. One was six incnes in
length and seemed enormous until the last
size appeared on the counter. This hook
was eighteen inches in length, with a shaft
as large a finger and a swivel eye in
which chain is run. The dealer named
several fish that this instrument was de-
signed for. To the uninitiated it seemed in
tended for sperm whales. The 800, 600 hooks
used by the local fishermen are of much
smaller size and common quality
