Water with Fixed Air.

A magazines published in 1923 gives
the following method to improve water
for drinking: Let the water, wnen
boiled, be put into a common barrel
churn, where it may be agitated to any
degree that may be wished for. In
the course Of it's being thus agitatei
it will absorb atmospheric air, and
other elastic fluids with which it may
come in contact. It will thus become
a liquor, safe, palatable and whole
some, to be obtained with little trou-
BILE and expense, and accessible in it's
utmost perfection to the poorest in
dividual. Those who wish to drink
this wholesome beverage in it's utmost
perfection should, after having 1t
boiled and filtered, cause it to be
churned as above directed, then bot
tied, with couple Of dried raisins in
each bottle; this will give it suti-
cient quantity Of fixed air. If then
used it becomes truly delicious.

Epigram On Clubs.

The immense growth of London
clubs and of the opportunities afforded
for games Of chance may serve to re-.
call an epigram which "Bentley's Mis-.
cellany" attributed sixty years ago to
Sydney Smith.
He was at Sunday dinner at Hol-
land House, when the hostess said that
woman's passion for diamonds was
surely less rulnous than mans pas
sion for play at his club. Thereupon
Sydney Smith took card and wrote
the following impromptu:
Thoughtless that all that's brightest
fades,
Unmindful of that knave Of spades,
The sexton and his subs;
How foolishly we play our parts! ".
Our wives on diamonds set their
hearts,
We set our hearts on clubs

Odd LABELLING of tho stsins ut the.
White House Dinner.
The impressive military reception OF
the royal visitor to the capital city,
the display Of gorgeous scarlet, mauve,
cream and buff uniforms, with their
yards of gold braid and silver lace, was
not without its humor. One little fea-
ture of the famous dinner at the White
House in the evening served to cause
considerable merriment among the
notable guests, which little incident
having leaked out has. served as a
face.

Grating all of the utensils of his place

likeness of himself.
Mine host received an order from
the White House on Monday. It was
for certain butts Of brown and lusty
Wuerzburger, brought from far across
oNe1o,
or the old country. The beverage was
to be accompanied by large number
OF stems from which the guests might

selves back once more in their own

were sent and sundry boxes Of stems.
Each guest, Prince Henry included,
glanced down at the tall white mug as

He looked past her at Elinor. Their

looked out of them, calm in it's agony.

His impulse was to go to her. The

felt her hands upon his breast. He
felt her silky hair against his throat.
He heard her laugh softly.

Elinor had turned, and passing her
arm through that of her mother, left
the room with her.
Out of the Past, rose the voices on
the campus, submerging that of the
little girl who chung to him and
laughed because of love. And in that
still, far-off night, he heard Elinor
speaking, ITO me, it is beatific.''

The American Museum of Natural
History in New York has recently
been enriched by the addition of u
valuable collection of Chinese curios
and works of art. This collection is
the first instalment of the purchases
made in China by DR.. Berthold Laufer
who went to the far east in the inter-
est Of the museum last June. He will
remain in China several years, and
the works of art, the antiques and
curios which he will send will be OF
great value to the student. The recent
shipment includes a huge carved state

articles, which show that the Chinese

Near my old home, down South, in
Alabama, is a lake which, until last
winter, had never been frozen, when
for the first time solid sheet of ice
covered the surface of the water. On
the shore of this lake was a cabin, the
aome Of happy family Of negroes.
"One evening large flock of wild
geese alighted On the ice and settled
,iOwn for the night. When darkness
came the whole family armed them
selves with clubs, went out on the ice,
and started in to kill the geese, which
they thought were asleep. But here
they Eistook the situation
The poor geese were wide awake,
but could not get away because they
were all frozen tight to the ice Still.
they made one mighty combined effort
to escape and in doing so carried with
them the layer of ice which had GOV.
cred the lake, and with it the uegrAes,
and flew straight up until finally they
disappeared from view and were never
seen again.

left behind except the aged blind

cabin, and it is for his benefit I am

DAREDEVIL RIDER Hoops
THE LOOP ON a BICYCLE


A group of circus men, newspaper
men and photographers last week saw
a daredevil bicycle rider loop the loop
at Coney island. With no other aid
than the velocity accumulated by a
rush down steep incline the man
rode up the concave surface until he
hung head downward and continued
on down out of the loop to dismount,
cool and collected, 100 feet away.
The bicyclist was Robert B. Van
dervoort, an electrician, who has gone
over the loop-the-loop railroad known
to almost every visitor to Coney Is
land until he has come to look upon
centrifugal force as a real, tangible
thing.
Vandervoort's wheel is one especi-
The Cook County herald., 1902-05-17

ally constructed for the daring ride.
1t weighs about sixty-fve pounds, has
pneumatic tires on broad rims of steel,
no pedals, no chain or gearing and no
brake. There is no way for the rider
to stop himself once mounted and in
motion, except to fall off, and there
is 10 mechanism to allow of the
riders attaining motion. 1t has two
footholds for the riders feet, where
the crank shaft os bicycle usually is.
The thought of such a mass flashing
along surface at speed sufficient to
counteract for the moment the force
of gravitation made those who were
about to witness Vandervoorts exhibi-
tion feel creepy.
Vandervoort was quite cool. Crying

out that he was ready, he shot down
the incline. Engineer Prescott ex-
planned that the speed was thirty five
miles an hour. Vandervoort began his
ascent OF the concave surface as
straight and true as a bird might fly.

was intent to see Vandervoort hang
downward for the moment he was
passing the zenith of the loop. But

Iceland to Have Wireless System.

Up to the present Iceland has been
without telegraphic communication
with the outer world, partly owing tc
the poverty of the island itself and
partly owing to the disinclination of
the Danish government to provide the
necessary funds. The Icelandic Al
thing has voted a sum of $4,000 for
the purpose, but as the Northern Tele-
graph company refuses to lay cable
with subsidies from foreign powers,
the project has not resulted in any
thing tangible. The Marconi syndi-
cate has approached the government
with a view to the establishment OF
wireless telegraphy between the Shet-
lands and the Faro Islands.-Pitts.
