Art in Railway Building.

In the general pian. equipment and
application of electric power to the
working of the new electric under
ground and elevated railways in Ber-
lin, little is presented which can be
regarded as novel or especially sug-
gestive. The one respect in which Ger
man constructors leave others far be-
hind and offer an object lesson worth
careful study, is in the artistic beauty,
the architectural charm and sense of
fitness, which they have impaired to
the stations, the bridges, and even the
ordinary overhead viaduct sections of
the new road. In Germany the require
ments of public taste are never per-
mitted to be neglected or forgotten.

and artistically designed masonry.
The above ground stations are of
stone, steel and glass, no two alike, but
each especially designed to fit, not
only the requirements Of traffic. at that
point, but the adjacent buildings as
well-the architectural framework in
which it is set. The whole arrange
ment of the enterprise, from start to
finish, illustrates the wise, firm con-
troll which the municipality of Berlin
maintains over corporations which
ask for franchises at its hands.

Au,utuu Ienyps.

A leaf is composed of a.great num-
Der of cells, the walls of which are
brown. In the spring and summer
these cells are all filled with fluid,
colored with minute grains of red,
yellow and other pigments which,
MIXED together appear green. In
the autumn, through the cold, ovida-
tion and other changes take place in
the cells, destroying more or less rap
idly certain of the color elements. AS
soon as one of these elements is gone
the leaf no longer appears a normal
green. but assumes the shade of the
remainder of the color-elements
mixed together. When only the red
element is left the leaf is red; when
the yellow alone remains the leaf is
yellow, and when all the coloring mat
ter has gone the leaf is brown. Frost
Is not the sole cause of the changes
of color, but it is an important cause.
The more gradual the changes of
temperature from summer heat to
winter cold, the greater will be the
variety and brilliancy in the coloring
of the autumn leaves.-Woman' s

Within a few weeks the original
town of Delta, Idaho. one of the old
est mining camps in the Occur
dAlens-. will be no more. Every
building in the town has to be torn
down, burned or moved away. The
townsite has been purchased by the
Beaver Creek Gold Mining company,
which will soon start to dredge that
portion of the creek. and it has issued
an order that every lot must be vaca-
ted. The work of removing the town
already has begun. Some of the build
ings have been burned. Nearly all the
buildings were of high value at the
time of the boom back in the eighties.
but now most OF them are worth but
little. Some houses have been erected
recently, and these will likewise have
to be moved.

Near New York, in some of the old

PatrolIina the Ocean.

A plan is projected by which a regu-
lar line of steam lifeboats shall do on
the ocean what the Red Cross Society
does on the battlefield. 1t is to be
known as the International Blue Cross
Line, and will have a certain number
of specially designed boats, which will
patrol the seas over fixed and known
routes, following the main ocean high
ways. 1t is believed that If captains
these boats would be within sight of a
certain latitude and longitude, many
crippled ships and their crews would
be saved 1t is proposed to make the
plan a business venture, with fixed
salvage charges. and this promises
better for its success than If 1t were
purely, a philanthropic scheme.

ABUSE OF FUEL.

The high price of coal, caused by
the strike now ending, have carried
with them a salutary lesson. 1t has re-
minded our people that they have been
using fuel wastefully. The natural
resources of the United States are so
great that something out of the usual
is necessary to convey the lesson that
there is a limit to them. But it is not
merely in the matter of wastefulness
that fuel has been abused. The sani-
tary argument is even stronger than
that based on economy In America
we indulge in hot rooms to a degree
unknown in other parts of the world.
Some of those who lecture us on the
subject probably err on the other
side. The cold rooms of Germany and
France have their drawbacks, and
there is reason to believe that they
are often insufIlciently heated. But
that does not, in any degree, excuse
the hot rooms to which Americans are
very commonly subjected. 1t is not
the degree OF cold which is so fatal to
health as the sudden transition from
heat to cold. To quit room at the
temperature of day In July and go
into a zero temperature Is necessarily
perilous, yet this is a common Incl
dent of American experience. 1t has
cost many man his life, and caused
others troublesome attacks of illness.
With coal at abnormal prices the
temptation to use too much fuel Is not
so strong. When normal rates are re-
stored, 1t is altogether likely that most
of the people will forget the prudence
which necessity has taught them.

The blood is life. We derive from the

sible. Natr"e in its infinite wisdom, has
given us a .nometer indicating the state
OF the blood. which appeals to our reason
by giving notice of its mpurity. Small
eruptions of the skin, to which we scarcely
pay any attention, headache, ringing noises
in the ears, lassitude, sleeplessness, are
generally a sign that the blood is not in its
normal state, but is filled with noxious sub.
stances. These symptoms deserve our full
attention. Ii more attention were paid to
those symptoms. and steps taken to re-
move them then many illnesses from which
we suffer would become unknown, and the
human body would become stronger and
healthier. Attention therefore should be
paid to those warning signs, and the blood

A DeIuSion and It's OHqin.

Most people have at some time or
other come across the Industrious but
credulOus individual who is collecting
cancelled postage stamps and explains
that somebody, somewhere-usually
in New York-will give SO for a mil
lion of them. More often than not the
collector is working for the benefit of
some blind or crippled person who is
trying to get together the million, and
the argument is that il a dozen per-
sons are thus benevolently engaged
and besiege their friends with due dill
igence, the million will accumulate in
two or three months, as it certainly
should if it is to be worth the trouble.
It seems not tC occur to these limo
cent and trusting souls that the mere
labor of counting a million stamps, if
applied to some useful occupation.
such As knitting dish cloths, would
probably bring in a good deal more
than $40; and this does not take into
account the trouble of the sub-collec-
tors or the nuisance that they are to
their friends. A million is a very
large number, and few persons find il
at all profitable to count as Tar as that
unless the million is composed of dol
lars.
When run to earth. the S10-a-mil-
lion stamp story is found 10 have
some such basis as that the stamps
are sent to China, to be used in tie
manufacture of Chinese articles of
vertu, and in one case the Little Sis
tiers Of the Poor were told that the
Chinese were willing to exchange for
them children TO be brought up in the
Christian faith. The postal officials,
however, say that the ingenious Celes-
tial has a way of rejuvenating the
stamps. and that they come back to
San Francisco with gum on the backs,
all ready to be used again. The moral
Of this seems TO be that the unsus-
pecting people who make the collec-
tons are lending themselves with
lamb-like simplicity 10 a clever postal
| fraud.
