The ,Jewish TOrah

OF the objects used in the Jewish
synagogue one of the most interest
ing is the Torah scroll. This is parch-
ment scroll in Hebrew, mounted on
wooden rollers. wrapped in a cloth of
green velvet, embroidered in silk,
which is held by silver-worked belt
and covered with mantel of black
velvet embroidered in gold. The up
per handles of the rollers are of
carved wood, and the lower of ivory,
with silver bells on the rollers. The
Jewish torah, or the law, is consid-
cred by the people of this race the
most important and sacred portion of
the Scriptures. In order that it may
be kept alive in the minds of the peo-
pie it is divided into as many ''peri-
copes" as there are Sabbaths in the
year, so that within a 12-month the
entire book will have been read

A CUNNING FOX.

When I was a boy 1 owned a fox, a
handsome red fellow, with his nose
and tip of his tail black My uncle
had caught him in trap after losing
good many hens and chickens.
However, he did not prove to be much
of pet. We could not tame him. He
would snap at US and spring the length
of his chain and learned, after get
ting one bite from his sharp teeth,
to let him alone. He had a house in
the yard and was confined within GER
tain boundaries by long chain.
One day father missed one of the
chickens. He told me to look around
and see if 1 could find any trace of it.
But l could not. A few days after
another was gone.
I'VE can't lay it to the fox" said
father.
Isn't there any way for the chickens
to get to the fox?" asked mother.
They can't get over or through that
fence. You know they haven't trou-
bled your flower garden since it was
built" father answered.
But another chicken disappeared.
Father set trap and one night he
watched with a gun, but the puzzle re-
manned.
What are all these dead spots in
the grass?" I asked one morning. I
had been feeding the fox and / could
not recollect having seen them before.
Father examined them attentively.
Here and there near the fox's house
were yellow places where the grass had
died.
II believe it is that fox" he said at
last. He looked at the fox, who SEEM
ed to be watching us narrowly.
Don't touch them,'' said father but
stay at home from school to-day and
watch the fox. Remain quietly where
he cannot see you and 1 think / can
promise you a surprise"
The chickens had been shut up for
several days. Unknown to me, father
let them out after I began watching.
Then he went to his work.
l stretched myself under a tree to
watch the fox, but nothing occurred
till near noon. The fox had been lying
on the ground under his house, his nose
at the entrance. Now he got up and
coming out as far as his chain would
allow, again lay down, half closing
his eyes. I looked around. A chicken
was walking along by the fence, stick
ing it's bill through the various OPEN
ings. At last it came to q place where
the pickets were further apart and by
dint of squeezing, it got into the yard
1t picked here and there and at last
approached the fox. The moment it
was within reach he snatched it. ]
rushed forward. but was too late tc
save the chicken. Just then father
came up from the field and after hear
ing my story he dug up the yellow
places in the grass.
Under every spot were feathers where
the fox had hidden them after eating
the chickens.
The fox was shot and have a rug
made from his skin. E. r. H.

safety Dress for Electricians.
From Engineering.


Experiments have been made with
Prof. Artemieff's safety dress, In the
high tension laboratory of Siemens g.
Halska. This dress is constructed en-
tirely of fine but thickly woven wire
gauze. 1t completely incloses the
wearer, inclusive of hands, feet and
head. It's total weight is 3.3 pounds,
its resistance from hand to hand, 0.017
ohms, and it's capacity varies from .0002
up to .00025 micofarads, according as
the wearer Is far away from or near
TO a wall. The cooling surface is so
great that a current of 200 amperes
can pass through the dress for some
seconds from hand to hand without
perceptible heating effect. Standing
uninsulated on the ground and clad
with this dress Prof. Artemieff drew
sparks from the secondary terminals
of a transformer which was given a
tension Of $4,000 volts, the period be-
ing fifty cycles per second. He next
seized the main, and later on, the po-
tential being raised to 100000 volts, he
drew sparks from both terminals and
handled the latter. The machine sup
plying this transformer was of 10 kilo-
watts capacity. In concluding the ex-
periments the inventor short circuited
this generator by clutching hold Of the
