 Experiment has shown that an cleo tric arc can be employed under water for fusing metal. The intense heat turns the water surrounding the arc into steam, thus forming an insulating cushion of vapor. It has been suggest ed that with proper apparatus the cleo tric arc could be employed by divers

 Prof. Raphael Dubois of the Univer- sity of Lyons has produced some of the most curious lamps ever imagined, | by cultivating luminous marine ml- crobes in a liquid medium contained in | little glass vessels. If few of these | living lamps are arranged about a bust | in a dark room, the bust Is made plain | ly visible, and photographs can be talk en of 1t. The actinic power of the light Is, nevertheless, so feeble that several hours exposure is needed. With an- other form of lamp, filled with phospho- rescent bacteria, enough light is obtain ed to render a printed page easily legi- ble.
 Prof. Hugo de Vries, the well-known ] Dutch botanist and biologist, Is credit ed with "momentous discovery con- corning the origin of species among plants. Briefly stated, his observations indicate that new species appear sud- denly by mutation, never as the out come of a progressive variation. He ayers that he has been able, for the first time, to watch the formation and development of new species. A re | viewer of his work In the English scl entific journal, Nature, says: "The facts are so striking and convincing that an outsider, like the reviewer, can not but feel that a new period in the theories of the origin of species and oi evolution has been inaugurated'

HERITAGE OF THE SEXES.
An ApO1ogue SuEgested by Reading
 Drummond's "Ascent of Man."

An ApoIogue Suggested by Reading
 Drummond's "Ascent of Man,"
 When the first man and woman had left the seclusion of the Garden, crossed the river of Possibility and stood upon the shore of Time, ready for their on ward journey toward Posterity, the An gel of Opportunity appeared to them and said:
 "Man, make a prayer to Nature and Life. Petition wisely, for whatsoever you ask shall be the heritage of your sex for ever"
 And the man thought and thought; then, looking up at the glowing sun, ex- claimed, oh, Nature, do not thrust your greatest throes upon me, nor persist in making me remember pain"
 The angel said to the woman, "Pray thou also with wisdom"
 As the woman bent low her head she softly said: "Oh, Nature, do not allow me to grow callous nor empty. Hold me close to the joys, so few, the sorrows, so many, that I may gain strength from each"
 Again the angel bade the man pray, and once more he stood and looked to- ward the glowing sun, saying: "Oh, Life, give me joy and pleasure. Do not unload upon me the sorrows of others; do not open my eyes 10 bangs l cdnnol aSSudSe' Give me sweets and the power to cast aside regret"
 "Sister," said the angel, pray"
 The woman bent still lower, and in Q softer voice uttered her petition: "Oh, Life, do not take away from me the mem ory of sorrow, the shell holding the kernel of joy; do not allow me to become blind to the debt I owe others. Make me ten der; give me a woman's portion, pain, that may attain my full stature."
 And, that the angels promise might be redeemed, from that hour there was i'm planted in man the overmastering love of pleasure and ingrafted in the heart of woman the undying instincts of mother hood.-George Denton Garfield in New Lippincott.

Our Working
 Girls.

Life to the most favored is not always full of sunshine, but to the average American girl or woman who is obliged to work for her living, and, perhaps to help others at home, life is often heavy drag in consequence of illness.
 Women who work, especially those who are constantly on their feet, are peculiarly liable to the development of organic troubles, and should par ticularly heed the first manifestations, such as backache, pains in the lower limbs and lower part of the stomach, irregular and painful monthly periods.

 Pretty nearly all the hair prepara- tions for dandruff, have some merit in allaying itching of the scalp, and in being a fairly good dressing for the hair, but there is only one that recog- nizes what causes dandruff, falling hair and badness, and that destroys the cause a little germ-and that is New bros Herpicide This germ eats its way into the scalp down to the hair root, where it saps that vitality, caus- ing dandruff as it digs up the scalp into little white scales. Unless it is de- stroyed there's no permanent stopping of falling hair and cure of dandruff and badness. Newbro's Herpicide kills the germ. Destroy the cause, you re move the effect"
