A Field For Inventors.

Marvellous discoveries and inventions have been made during the last one hundred years, not the least of which are steam navigation and the locomo- tive, the telegraph, the ocean cable, the sewing machine. anthracite coal and Illuminating gas, petroleum, electric cars and electric light. the photographic art, the telephone, the X-ray, wireless telegraphy, etc. Fortune and fame await the person who will invent a process for harvesting and putting to practical use one of the forces of nature which now runs to waste, and which we will mention later.
 fa yankee should visit Zanguebar (under the equator) and tell one of the uneducated natives that in NewEngland the people walk on the water at a cer. tain season of the year, the native would probably think the yankee was telling lie or else that the yankees could per form miracles.
 We'll, tho yankees do almost perform miracles in the line of inventions, but it is no miracle for yankee. or anyone else, to walk on frozen water ice) in New England at Q certain season of tho year. Furthermore, the yankees make . practical use of ice by harvesting it in the winter and storing it for cooling purposes in the summer. Thus they utilize one of the forces or elements of nature. During the summer they pre- serve or can fruit and vegetables for use in winter.
 Now fortune and fame await the per son who will utilize the surplus heat of summer, by canning it or storing it to heat our dwellings in winter. Here is field for inventors. Today this seems idle talk, nevertheless should such thing ever be accomplished it would not be more wonderful than were the discoveries and inventions enumerated at the beginning of this article. Man does harness and utilize certain forces of nature-water power, steam power, electricity, etc., and per haps he may yet harness land in the winter set to york; the surplus heat of summer.

Once upon time case of small pox in Galveston or Key West would have made Connecticut people nervous. Ger taiuly a case in Jacksonville would have been learned of with alarm. Later the appearance of the pest in New York would have sent everybody to the vaoinator. but today there are cases of the small pox in Tarinfville, Bristol and Manchester this state but no amount of nervousness is noticeable about the state Thus have times changed and medical science progressed to the poin t where small pox is scarcely more terri than the measles where properly quar- nntined.

Caste In India

The barbers of India rank with the washerwomen. The son of a barber must be a barber all his life. and his wife must be barber's daughter. The Hindoo shaver travels about Ill search of customers, and the barbering Is done In the street. There are no stools, both barber and customer squatting on their heels while the operation is performed. The Hindoo barber is a manicure and a chiropodist as well, and his pay is wretchedly small. They often act as surgeons, and they make a speciality of piercing the ears of young girls for ear rings, while barbers' wives are almost always hairdressers

Like Shooting Ghontn.

The impression when hunting paddy melons, a species of kangaroo found in Australia, Is of shooting at ghosts, what with the dim, mysterious light of the "bush" and the strange appearance and swift movement of the game. Pad dymelons, like all the kangaroo tribe, are useless for food, except so far as their tails are concerned, which, being largely of glutinous texture, furnish material for capital soup, very like OK tail, but with peculiar and agreeable gamy flavor.
