THE PRONUNCIATION OF COLOGNE

The municipal authorities recently
concluded that it was high time to set

the language" They determined, how
ever, to refer the matter to the general
government, and this agreed with them
So far all was harmony and peace.
But when it cameto confirming the
unanimous decision iby an imperial

Two periodic comets are expected TO
return during the present year. The
FIRST was originally discovered by Te-
pie at Marseiies in 1869 and revolves
about the sun every FIVE and a half
years. Il was Independently dlscov-
cred by swift in California in 1880
and was again found by Barnard at
the Lick Observatory in 1891. It was
not seen in 1885 and in 1897, nor be-
tween 1869 and 1880. It is expetc-t
to return early in December, 1902.
The second comet was discovered BY
Swift in California in 1895, and It's
period Is about seven years. Il Is not
%improbably identical with the comet
discovered by Messier at Marseilles in
1770. Il was expected to return In
1775, but in passing close to Jupiter
its orbit was greatly altered. It will
return toward the end Of November,
1902.

Ia correcting an error. In spite Of the
utmost care a portion of the dirt from
each erasure falls into the machine,
not only causing it to have an untidy
appearance, but, worse still, tending
to greatly increase the natural wear
Of the mechanism. To get rid Of this
dirt, 1t is customary to have the ma
chine cleaned at intervals at consid-
cradle expense, and it is a question
then II the machine is in proper shape,
as it would have to be taken almost
entirely to pieces to get out all the
fine PARTICLES. There is no doubt the
better plan would be to utilize the
neat little device shown in our illus
t%ration, consisting Of a pocket formed
at the lower edge Of a slotted metal
plate to catch the crossings as they are
brushed from the paper. The upper
portion of the plate is curved to fit
against the roller, and the slot is so
shaped that the eraser can be moved
vertically or horizontally. The slot
ted plate pressed against the paper
holds it perfectly rigid under the fric-
ton Of the roller, and, as the plate is
of thin sheet metal, it is an easy task
to brush the dirt into the pocket. The
device will fit any machine, and is
easily adjusted against the platen over
the error. This is the invention of N.

Proposed New Names FOR the Months.
Not long ago M. Camille Flammarion
proposed a new calendar with a new
division of the year and new names
for the months. His proposal has evil
IDENTITY borne fruit, for a little almanac
has Just been issued at Madrid in
which the year is divided into four pc
RODS Of three months each, all equal
and all of ninety-one days. The new
style of year begins March 81 and has
an extra holiday to make up the 865
days which nature invented. The
months are named in order: Truth,
Science, Wisdom. Justice, Honor,
Goodness, Love, Beauty, Humanity.
Happiness, Progress, Immortality. It
gives a vivid idea Of the leisure at the
command Of certain Of our fellow be-
ings to read solemn pseudo-scientihc
fooling of the sort. The western CON
tinent is too busy to be much affected

In many Of the towns of Belgium a
novel method Of making use Of smoke
has lately been employed. The scheme
is worthy of particular notice, because
it not only does away with The
Smoke nuisance" but turns it into
profit. The smoke is driven by a ven

terial, yer which pOurs a continuous
stream Of petroleum, benzine, alcohol
or some liquid hy%drO-carbon flows.
Thus the smoke is entirely suppressed
and the filter yields a gas of great

also becomes a good fuel.

DrIoa Clothos Indoors.

When clothes are hung up to dry in
a kitchen or laundry they not only
occupy a good deal Of room, but they
are an impediment to the free circu-

novel device. which is intended to do
away with these undesirable features
is meeting favor among housewives Of
Europe.
1t consists of a small wooden box.
to which are attached several cords.
When clothes are to be dried this box
can be rcised to any desired height,
and the cords can be stretched and
