is slightly curved and can be tilted at
any angle, with a screw for holding
it in position. The pencil holder is
attached to the under member and has
a block at the end to limit. The inser-
tion of the pencil By adjusting the
blade at the proper angle it can be
made to cut a short or long shaving
thus giving the pencil a sharp or
blunt point, as desired. There is no
soiling of the fingers, and as the pres
sure is on the side of the holder in
stead of on the point of the pencil
there is little danger of breaking the
lead. Amos T. Fox of Tacoma, Wash,
is the inventor.

of the service pipe above the key is
a metal cup containing a heavy liquid,
preferably mercury or glycerine. In
verified in this cup is a bell having YER
teal sides and a Hanged rim at the
bottom. The bell rests on a
ring floating on the liquid, while an
outer vacuum ring prevents undue
lateral play to the float The cap
which covers the cup simply protects
the liquic from the accumulation Of
dirt and does not prevent the free YER

Education in Holland.

The mass Of the children Of Holland
may always be found in the public
schools, and in these institutions there
are no distinctions of rank, so that the
high and lowly commlugle on terms of
perfect equality. Education begins at
six years of age in the public schools,
and at twelve a girl is examined and
passes on for a five years course in
the higher burger schools, of which
Holland possesses seventy-two. The
%coeducation of the sexes is an admitted
principle. In the primary schools boys
and girls are brought up together. They
learn side by side and are on familiar
terms from early childhood without the
smallest i'll resulting. A great point
is made of languages. and no Dutch
girl of the upper or middle classes Is
considered educated who cannot speak
English. French and German more or
less fuently.
Probably owing to the system of ed
ucation in force the women folk are
inclined to grow up somewhat indie
pendent. We are told that the preju-
dice against women working for a
livelihood has almost disappeared. and
even rich women sometimes choose a
profession. They include doctors, den
lists, many of them first rate; photo
graphers and gardeners. About 1000
girls hold posts as assistant chemists,
some 5000 are nurses. trained in the
White Cross homes ana on a par with
the very best of their profession. A
woman is curator of the national his
tory museum in HARLEM and another
holds the same post at Utrecht, while
ii third is head dispenser at a hospital
in Amsterdam.

Every |schoolboy who respects him
self knows that all the story books OF
Pathhnders and Indian scouts agree IL
saying that the moss grows on the
north side of trees and that Indians
thread their way through the track
less forest by remembering this rule.
Every observant man of mature age
knows by experience that the rule is
chiefly exceptions. 1t has remained
for Mr.. Henry Kraemer of Philadel-
phia to give statistics on the point.
OF the trees he examined, the moss
was on the west side in 10 per cent,
on the northwest side in 10 per cent.
on the north side in 10 per cent, on
the northeast side in 20 per cent, on

the body relative to the pen. and the
writer was not compelled to sit so as
to produce the best results.
Fred Rench of Cotton, Cal, believes
that the attachment that he has just
designed for this work is an improve
ment e the former invention, as it
is secured to the body and projects
outward at the proper angle to main
tain the pen in a right relation to
the paper. The curved spring form
ing the device has a clamp for the
penholder at one end and a breast
button at the opposite end, with a
curvature in the arm to afford play
during the movement of the pen in
forming the letters.

A new galyanic cell. which may

cell, has been designed at Ludwig
shafen for electric lighting and for
driving small machinery. The de-
polarizing agent is calomel, which is
mixed with finely divided carbon. and
also with chalk to n~eutralize the
hydrochloric acid formed, An cleo
trode Of carbon or platinum is placed
in a bag of the mixture, the positive

The principal objection to the in
condescent gas nantes now in use
is that the slightest jar or disturbance
tends to crumble them, as they are
very fragile. and when subjected to
motion of any sort their life is mater

erto been made to provide a support
which would prevent the mantle from
being subjected to Earring action, but
most, if not all, of these devices have

MONEY N LUXURY.


WOfltns
"Tle enemy OF the modern woman In
France Is the love of luxury and of
money"
Thus spoke NJ. Hughes lie ROux. the
celebrated French journalist and critic,
I'm n Of the series of lectures in
French which he is delivering at the
University of Pennsylvania. He be-
lieyes that this unnatural love destroys
her domestic happiness. The system of
marrying for money. he says, has
created what is sometimes known as
the third sex" i. e., the woman who
does not want to rear any children.
The result of this system has pro-
duced a class of young women who
at thirty are unmarried and likely to
remain so. Several years ago NJ. lie
ItOuX established q bureau in Paris for
giving advice to unmarried ome
and nearly all of the hundreds of wo-
men who came to him had the same
story to tell, /. e., that they were well
bred, left school at twenty, attended
the theater, opera, balls, etc. pOstpon-
ing marriage until twenty-five years
old, always expecting to marry, but
not quite deciding to do so. At this
period they invariably began to pity
the innocent young girls who married
and began to assume the cares of their
sex. The men they saw pleased them
less and less. They were unable to
awaken the sentiment of love for them,
and at last they found themselves at
the age of thirty still unmarried-too
late they saw that marriage is only n
means, not an end.
