In order to maintain the efficiency
of a central telephone station it is es-
Sential that the switching apparatus
be kept absolutely free of dust. In
crowded industrial towns consid erable
difficulty is sometimes experienced in
accomplishing this, as the smoke
from neighboring factories and the
dust from the street can only be kept
out by closing all doors and windows.
which is attained by much discomfort
to the operators.
In Shefield the problem has been
solved by furnishing artificial yenti-
lation. The air is drawn into the
room through a coke screen. which
clear it of SCOT and dirt. This screen
is kept moist, which to a certain ex-
tent permits of the control of the
humidity of the air. After passing the
screen the air is passed through radi-
ators to enable the temperature to
be regulated as desired The air then
passes along a long airshaft, running
along one end of the room and then
into the apartments through a series
of apertures so disposed that prac-
tically no draft results
The SCENE is capable Of application
The scheme is capable of application
TO many industrial establishments
where the Office force and craftsmen
suffer keenly owing to the clouds of
dirt and smoke that flow into the
rooms from the adjacent shops.

The Indians cure the beetle by dry

or even porcelain, which, in turn, is
trimmed with gold. This is employed
as brooch, cuff button, or breast-pin.
Sometimes the beetle is mounted upon

used an as earring.
The second class of beetles are of
the same general outline as the tum-

rich, changeable purple, blue and
green. with metallic lustre The tint
varies with the angle at which light
strikes the surface. They are not as
strong as the scarab. and are employed
for making necklaces and bracelets.

of these beads are strung upon elastic

A NATIONAL TRAlT.
Amiability the Bane of the American
Public.

IuDliSs
Amiability is our national vice. We
are country contented. Satisfied with
our own superiority, fancied or real
We have the sleek good humor which
is not disturbed by jibes or sneers.
Coneeit has provoked contentment.
The result is an amiable public. That
aggregation of humanity which the
politician speaks of as the dear peo2
pie" reverentially-in ante-electit sH
times-is pleasant in speech and an
ton. Crowds are seldom cross. The
excursion company is a notable ex-
ample. However much the excursion
lists may be delayed or disappointed,
there is little of grumbling Even
when they return late at night, tired,
worn out from the day of recreation,
they growl good-humoredly and are
merry in their misery. Seldom does
any assemblage of Americans degener-
ate into an angry company, and then
only under the lashing of passion at a
crime or of heated advocacy of a par
ty candidate. We get madden because
of politics than from any other reason.
The election of some far-off individ-
ual whom we never saw and in whose
success nothing of Importance to our
selves is involved stirs the dregs of
discussion into a very ferment of furi
Gus strife. Political campaigns bring
always the dog days of infuriated de-
bate.
The vice of amiability is shown con-
spicuously in the behavior of the
American audience. The audience has
lost the right to hiss. So seldom does
any auditor exercise this right that
when some rude but honest fellow
manifests his disapproyal of actor or
of speaker his neighbors. losing for
the nonce their amiability, seek to put
him out We permit applause. but not
kissing; huzzas, but not crys of dis
approval Our audiences have con-
strued the right of criticism as mean
ing merely the right to compliment.
We are glad to read criticism in the
newspapers the next morning. but we
object to having it expressed audibly
at the time Yet who can give suffi-
cient reason why an audience may not
express its disapproval as well as its
commendation? Surely dislike may
as well be expressed as like. The av-
erage audience is too polite. toe amia-
BILE, to do otherwise than applaud. If
it cannot cheer it sits silent.-St. Louis.

The following from encyclopedia author.
ities with reference TO tho matter may
not DO without interest in view Of the
earful disaster in Martinique.
Volcanic action, according to the
authorities, Ia limited to particular
regions OF the earth. In these regions
the active vents are disturbed at
intervals and are generally in a linear
direction. The Pacific ocean il bound
ed by an almost unbrokcn line Of
active volcanoes. Beginning III the
New ~Shetlands, where there is an
active volcano in latitude g. degrees 81
minutes south, VIC pass the Terra del
FueZo, and then on to the Andes, which
are throughout their whole course
volcanic, although the great centers Of
volcanic action are confined to
Clile, Peru. the neighborhood OF Quito,
Guatemala and Mexico. The line is
continued northward by the burning
mountain in the northwestern America
and the Aleutian islands carry the chain
across TO Kamchatka on the Asiatic side.
Here, turning southwark, the main may
be traced through the Kurde islauds,
Japan, Formosa, the Philippines, Mo-
~luccas, New Guinea and the Solomau
and New Hcbrides groups TO New
Zealand. From Celebes n branch pro.

beyond this we find n region in north

may lead us, OH the ono hand to the
volcanic region of Tartary, or on the

archipelago, Sicily, Naples and on 10 the
