Letter to H. /. Bentley.
Morris vile, Vt.

Dear Sir: You are an artist, what
do you know about paint?
White lead is 1000 years old, and
zinc about so. The Greeks knew white
lead.
Lead and oil is an old-fashioned
paint, and zinc is baby comparative
iy. But zinc. if properly ground with
lead, -proIongs the life of the paint
from about three years at the most,
to six.
Do you know that ? 1t isn't your
business to know it; but you are an
artist. The sun that paints for you,
DESTROYS lead and oil, but scarcely al
fects Devoe.
Devoe is the paint that lasts six
years, yes two or three times six years
in favorable conditions.
Yours truly,
F. W. Devoe & Co.

New Cure for Consumption.

Word comes from London by way of
the newspapers OF new cure for con-
sumption, the use of high tension cleo
trio currents, $4,000 volts or so. The
matter is exploited in the usual
fashion. To encourage the readers
imagination he is treated to graphic
comparisons of the "awe-inspiring
force" of $4,000 volts. 1t takes but
500 to run an electric locomotive or
a trolly car. Only 1900 volts are
used in the electrocutions. The in
ference is that the force of $4,000
must be dreadful. 1t is not. One of
Tesley's really solid contributions to
scientific progress in this field was to
produce currents of enormous ten.
sion and great frequency of altera-
ton, and to show that these are
harmless as they pass through the
body. A man may allow Tesla cur
rents, as they are called all the world
over, amounting to hundreds OF
thousands and even millions of volts,
to flow through him and hardly be
aware of the fact. Indeed, where a
shock from thousand volts may be
fatal if the quantity be sufficient, OF
a million one may be unconscious.
Above a moderate "tension" the cur.
rent becomes lesser and less painful
and dangerous, the higher the volt
age. until with the electromagnetic
currents of incredible frequency,
which we call light, they may act
upon even so sensitive a surface as
the eve without harm.-Harper's

The late General George B. McCles.
Ian, u. S. A., is credited with having
made the statement many years ago
that the sinking Of CLAIMS into the sand
along the ocean shore by closing their
shells and ejecting the water from
them in a thin stream first suggested
TO him the use Of the water jet as an
aid in sinking piles in sand. At any
rate as long ago as 1852 a water jet
was so used by General McClellan's ad-
vice in putting down piles for a wharf
and warehouse. Water was forced
through an ordinary rubber hose, with
n piece Of gas pipe on the end for a
nozzle. This was placed close to the
point of the pile on the bottom, the jet

THE coMMUTER.
How Ue Spends His Hoprs of Daily
Railroad Travelling.

The much abused suburbanites,
whom the cartoonists picture as COM
ing to the city every morning from
'Lonesomehurst" Lost Mans Lane"
"Prunehurst-by-the-T Trolley" and other
places with equally suggestive names,
are an interesting class of individ-
uals. The transient element of the
city's population spends several hours
every day whirling over the railroads.
When the novelty Of these daily bits
Of railroading has passed into the
monotony Of years Of travel through
the same country the commuter has
learned to make the best Of the time
he spends on the train.
The "card fiend" is a prominent fig
ure IN this class. Both morning and
evening four or five games Of cards
are going on in every smoking car, and
1t IS safe to say that thousands of dol
lars change hands in this innocent
amusement while the players are hur-
rying to or from business.
Next to the card sharp" is the man
who only enjoys his cigar and paper.
He is oblivious to all his surround.
ings and only shows animation when
he is at his journeys end.
Many Of the policies and plans Of
some OF this city's most successful
business men have been born or de-
veloped on these trains. The short
respite between the hustle of the city
and the cares of home life is to this
type of man a season for meditation.
Another interesting commuter is the
individual who is on good terms with
oil his fellows. He travels up and
down through the car exercising his
repertory Of latest jokes or sympa-
thizing with some gloomy looking
friend who thinks that all the world
IS against him. He seems to never
grow weary in his well doing
The train life Of the commuter is now
and then enlivened by wrecks. Though
tossed about and sometimes cut and
bruised, he generally escapes serious
injury. Such experiences as these he
considers the spice and coloring of his
existence.-New York Mail and Ex-
press.

COLOR OF GOLD COINS.
Reasons For Differences In Tint of
Coins of French MlntnEe.


Coins of French MIntnge.
Some time ago a Frenchman placed
together a number Of gold coins Of
French mintage of the beginning, mid
die and end of the last century. He
was much surprised to see that they
differed In color. He set about finding
out the reasons for this difference, and
the results Of his Investigations have
been published in Ia Nature.
There is a paleneSs about the yellow
OF the 10 and 90 franc pieces which
bear the effigies of Napoleon l and
Louis XVIII that is not observed in
the goldpieces of later mintage. One
admirer Of these coins speaks of their
color as a beautiful paleness' and ex-
presses regret that it is lacking in later
coins. The explanation of 1t is very
simple. The alloy that entered into the
French gold coins of those days con-
tanned as much silver as copper. and it
was the silver that gave the coins their
interesting paleness.
The coins of the era Of Napoleon III
were more golden in hue. The silver
udu USNh AlANAA OuN VI AA1 amy
The gold coins of today have a still
warmer and deeper tinge of yellow.
This is because the Paris mint. as we'll
as that in London. melts the gold and
the copper alloy in Theoretically sealed
boxes, which prevents the copper from
being somewhat bleached. as it always
is when it is attacked by hot air. So
the present coins have the full warm
ness of tint that a copper alloy can
give.
If the coins Of today are not SO land
some in the opinion of amateur collect
ors as those issued by the first Napo-
leon, they are superior to those of Ell
ther of the Napoleons In the fact that
It costs less to make them. The double
operation of the oxidation Of the copper
and cleaning it off the surface Of the
coin with acids is no longer employed,
and a." large elimination Of copper
from e., surface Of the coins formerly
practiced, made them less resistant un-
der wear and tear than are the coins
now in circulation

IN TIE MATTER OF CRYING.
While Weeping Is Quite Natural, II
May BE "CureGv In Children


May BE "Curedv In Children.
It comes natural to every woman to
pity a child when it hurts itself. Be
the misadventure big or little, the
mother Immediately takes the little one
in her arms and in her most sympa-
thetic, plying tones tries to soIace it.
And Of course the child concludes
something terrible has happened to it
and cries vigorously. A little baby if
pitied can soon be brought to a weep
ing state when nothing whatever is the
matter with 1t. Just call up your most
tender, sympathetic tone; ask him that
time honored question, did they boos
the baby?' and the little lips win begin
to culver, the mouth to droop, and soon
q wall breaks forth that is meant to in
dicate that "they" did.
OF course children win cry some
times. Crying is an institution that
cannot be done away with. Crying,
more or less, is expected with the advent
Of the little stranger, but the more or
less depends largely on the parents. A
child can be laughed into q good hui
NOR. Instead of plying him at the nu-
merous little hurts he gets, those that
are really of no Importance. treat
them as a good joke. Laugh at them,
and the baby win quickly laugh with
you. 1t doesn't take long to chase the
tears away. Besides doing away with
q lot Of unnecessary crying it teaches
him not to mind little hurts and devel-
ops n brave, manly little fellow. This
does not apply to serious mishaps, but
to those numerous little bumps which
Youngsters are continually getting and
which a little pity quickly magnifies
into something of Importance in child
ish eyes.
Never giving a child anything he
cries for is another excellent way to
nip in the bud the crying habit. If it is
proper for him to have, promise it to
him when he stops crying. Reward his
good behavior not his bad. OF course
if bad habits in this direction are form
ed, it is hard to correct them. But such
discipline observed from the beginning
win make crying an infrequent per-
formance in the home where the youth
full monarch reigns.-Philadelphia Tele-
