sold them last week to Teddie Stearns,

"Now, Teddje Stearns is my own boy,

with warts, and we did not live in a

called my boy to me and looked with
some anxiety at his hands. They were

branch groove leading to the groove of
the upper sash. Horizontal grooves
bisect the two vertical grooves, and by
these horizontal grooves pins project
ing from the lower sash are guided.
By reason of this arrangement of
grooves the lower sash can be moved
in the branch groove directly in align
ment with the upper sash, thereby clos
ing the window far more tightly than
is possible with the ordinary sashes.
But if the lower sash be moved down
to the end Of its vertical groove a hori-
zontal space is left between the upper
and lower sashes for ventilating pur-
poses. If this space be not large
enough, the sashes can be raised and
lowered in the usual manner.
In the lower end of each groove of
the upper sash pin is located, which
is received in the curved recess of a
plate carried on the lower end of the
lower sash. Thus the lower sash, when
depressed, is pivotally mounted so that
it can be swung inwardly in the man
ner shown in our engraving through

Don't Drink During Meals.

Be careful to limit the amount of wa
ter and fluids which you take during
meals, since large quantities of these,
especially ice water, thinder digestion.
Not more than one glass of water
should be taken during each meal. In
order to quench the thirst which is so
apt to clamor for water at meals an
eminent authority suggests taking a
glass of hot water fifteen or thirty min
utes before meals. This acts especially

and change of clothing. A theater and
other amusements are also provided,
as well as schools and hospital.

Gold can be beaten out so thin that it

which case, though it still appears

green as viewed by ransmission-that
is, by the light that passes through it.
This curious effect can easily be OBJ
served by laying a piece of gold leaf

tween the eye and the light when the

MEASURING HUMIDITY.
Row Scientists Determine Amount of
Moisture In the Air

Row Scientists Determine Amount of
Moisture In the Air.
To most minds scientific instruments
are so fearfully and wonderfully con-
structed that no attempt is ever made
to pry into the manner of their per-
forming their functions, the results OBJ
tanned being accepted as a matter of
course, says the st. Louis Republic.
Yet many such instruments, while ap-
parently most complicated, are really
based on very simple principles. OF
these the thermometer and the barome-
Ter are, of course, now generally under
stood, although this was not always
true.
Another meteorological instrument
however, which is much used, but
which is more or less mysterious to the
public, is that by which the amount Of
moisture in the air is determined. While
delicately constructed and balanced by
means of fine springs, the chief reli-
ance is placed in a few horsehairs,
which are exceedingly responsive to
the influence of dampness.
When the air becomes moist, they re-
lax, and a pivoted bar, one end Of
which forms an indicator, is drawn
along scale, which shows just to
what extent the air is saturated with
water. When the air is dry, the horse
hairs become tense, and the indicator
is returned to its appropriate place on
the scale.
1t is in this way that track is kept of
General Humidity, whose damp forces
so effectually conspire to keep human
ity in misery during warm weather.

Latest Scheme For Fire Fighting

The head of the fire department of
Rouen has suggested to the mayor a
novel project in the fire extinguishing
service. Inasmuch as this city is tray
ersed everywhere by electric street car
wires, it is suggested there should be
provided pumps, driven by dynamos,
to take currents by means of a trolley
hooked to the street car wires at the
nearest point to the fire. If this is IA
vorably acted upon, as seems likely,
Rouen will be equal, if not superior, to
any European city in the efficiency of
its fire service.
