TRANSPARENT MIRRORS.

Mirrors that one can see through
are a new invention already coming
into use. They are of so called
"platinized glass;" being backed
with a compound made of 50 per
cent silver and 5 per cent platinum,
and, OFFICIALLY speaking, they are ex-
ceedingly curious and interesting.
Looking into a glass of this kind,
one finds a first rate reflection. 1t
is a mirror and nothing more. At
the same time a person on the 9TH
er side can see directly through it.
For example, a glass of this sort
placed in front of the prescription
desk in an apothecary shop perfect
ly conceals the prescription clerk
and his apparatus. Thus the pri-
vacy of that department is secured,
while on his part the clerk is able to
survey the shop and see everybody
who comes in, just as if the mirror
were ordinary glass. 1t is transpar-
ent to him, but is like any common
mirror from the viewpoint of people
in front. 1t is easily seen that glass
of this kind is likely to be useful for
good many purposes. 1t can be
put in the doors of dark bathrooms
or of any other rooms where privacy
is desirable and light is wanted.
Anybody who has observed his own
reflection in the plate glass win
dows of shops will understand the
principle well enough. The effect
is merely enhanced by an extremely
thin coat of platinum silver, which
allows light to pass through and yet
furnishes an excellent looking glass.
The process consists in pouring over
plate glass nitrate of silver and plat
mum and then applying rochelle
salts.-Saturday Evening Post.

Commercial Fertilizer Analyses.

The Vermont Experiment Station
has completed it's annual inspection
of fertilizers and is about to issue it's
final bulletin on this subject. 1t is
ra ther late to be of service this year
to the farmer who has by this time
bought his ferti ger. But it will
stand him in good stead next year.
And if he has been wise, he has made
use of the bulletin issued two months
ago which told the main part of the
story.
Some people complain that fertilizer
analyses do not amount to anything
because the goods are all right any.
how and because the publication is
80 late. They fail to understand that
the pressure of the State law is an
important factor in keeping the
goods all right; and they do not
know how costly and laborious a
thing it is to make a fertilizer analy-
sis. Others alleged that they cannot
interpret the results. 1t is not very
difficult to gather the meaning of the
data if one will study and ask ques,
tions; but it is not kindergarten
work.
The Experiment Station has an
alyzed 134 brands this year and has
found six-seventh of them to be as
good as they were promised to be.
Most of the remainder at least gave
as much money value as they were
guaranteed to contain. The charac-
ter of the materials used was usually
good, the quality of the fertilizer
averaged lutte higher than last year
and plant food bought in this way
proved as cheap as it ever has been
in Vermont.
The farmer buying a ton of the
average fertilizer on credit paid nine.

Old Geronimo.

Geronimo, the noted Apache
chief, lives, at the age of "a, in
frame house near Fort Sill, 0. T.,
with an income Of over $1,000 a
year. While little in sympathy with
modern civilization, the old chief
appreciates one of its inventions, the
camera. He charges S. for his pic
ture. IIe always looks his toughest
in his pictures. He likes to strike
an attitude Of devilish ferocity when
being photographed. The older he
grows the greater is his desire to
make fendish appearance. Five
years ago, when he first went to Fort
Sill, he was content to wear white
mems clothes and consented to have
himself photographed wearing
them. Now when he poses he looks
like the old time redskin of the Apa-
che tribe. This is because he sees
that his war clothes attract mere at
tention from white visitors. He
does his best to give them their mon
ey's worth and to live up to their
expectations.

The WaI!ack Ghost.

No traces of the ghost that used
to haunt the old Star theater have
been discovered by the workmen
who have destroyed the building, yet
it once attained the dignity of inves-
tigation by one of the psychical So
cieties. 1t was said to be the ghost
of James Wallack, the member of
the family that built the theater
and moved there from his playhouse
farther down Broadway. The old
actor was supposed for years to
haunt the building and was seen in
various parts of the theater by so
many persons that an encounter
with the specter came to be regard
ed as a matter of course in the es-
Enlistment.
The stories of these encounters
were so frequent and narrated with
such conviction that the matter was
formally taken up by scientific So
ciety, which never rendered any re-
port of its conclusions on the sub
ject. 1t was thought that something
to explain the ghost might be found
when the building was torn down,
but so far there has been nothing
that might suggest the origin Of the
belief held by all the theater en-
ployees that the specter of old
James Wallack was accustomed to
walk in the building for many years
after his death.-New York Sun.
