HOW CHEAP BAKING POWDER 70
8

The Health Department OF New
York has seized quantity of so-called
cheap baking powder, which it found
in that city. Attention was attracted
to it by the low pr,ce at which it was
being sold in the department stores
Samples were taken and the chemist
OF the Health Department reported
the stuff to be "an. alum powder,
which analysis showed to be compos--
ed chiefly of alum and pulverizeG
rock.
The powder was declared to be dan
gerous to health. and several thou
sand pounds were carted to the offai
dock and destroyed. 1t is unsafe to-
experiment with these so-called
Cheap articles of food. They are
sure to be made from alum, rock, or
other injurious matter. In baking
powders. the high class, cream OF tar
tar brands are the most economical,
because they go farther in use and are
healthful beyond question.

order of interplaited basket work, some
show open lined checks, while others
are almost invisibly striped. A smart
mourning gown of this fabric is in
princess style, with an odd arrange
ment of paneling on the skirt. These
panels are of crepe, bordered with
braid. The bodice has scalloped revers
and q folded ceinture of crepe above
the waist. The bell sleeves reach to
the elbow The undersleeves of crepe
are arranged in soft folds, giving a
graceful and supple look to the arm.
The stock collar is of crepe, with
turnover of white lisse.

A new galvanic cell. which may
take the form of very durable dry

polarizing agent is caIomel. which is
mixed with finely divided carbon. and
also with chalk to neutraiize the
hydrochloTic acid formed. An cleo
trode of carbon or platinum is placed
in a bag of the mixture, the positive
pole being the usual zinc, and the ex-
citing liquid is a solution of zine

be fairly accepted as evidence that It

Ears of1naeeta

Ears of 1nsect6.
A favorite question with geological
examiners used to be that which de-
manded of the student. a'-demonstra-
ton OF the ears of "a lobster The
hearing: organs of that interesting
crustacean are situated in the base
joints of the lesser pair of feelers
which it bears on it's head. It is, very.
different with certain insects, a class
by no means distantly related TO the
crustacean group. In the grasshop-
per and locust tribe, for example, the
ears exist on the body segments, or
may be found on the legs, while the
functions of hearing has been attrib-
uted in the ants to certain little pro-
jections on their feelers. In the bees
it has been believed that a membrane
which exists between the fifth and
sixth joints of the back represented
the ear. Now IN English scientist
suggests that this structure is really
a scent-producing organ. This writer
further asserts the belief that bees
are incapable OF distinguishing sounds
and only respond to the familiar
hum" or buzz"

According to the Yacht the follow
ing conclusions respecting sound sig
nails at sea have been reached b. Brit
ish experts:
% In calm weather low notes are
heard further than high; but the re-
verse is true when the sea is rough
and when the wind is opposite in d.
rection to the direction from which
the sound arrives. 1t sometimes hap
pens that the sound of the signal is
much weakened, or even extinguished
in a certain region, while other areas,
more distant even, hear the signal.
This phenomenon has been especially
noted during calm weather.
(2D To hear a signal during fogs
it is advisable to stop all noises on
the listening vessel. 1t is better to
stop the ships engines.

signal always certain. 1t is, there

Moss on North Side OF Treesa

Every schoolboy who respects him

Every observant man of mature age

MANY SPIES EMPLOYED BY SULTAN

rurkey Growing Dem oralized Under the
Present Vicious System.
In no country and at no time Of the
worlds history has the spy System
been developed to the point 1t has at
tanned in Turkey to-day. It is most
elaborate organization and costs an
immense amount OF money. There
are spies and counter-spies, and
counter-spies to the fourth or NTH
degree. Their number is legion, and
they are to be found in all classes Of
society, from the highest to the low
est. Besides the minister of police,
almost every high dignitary has his
own service of spies, says the London
Chronicle.
These are all rival organizations
and spend most Of their time in spy
ing and denouncing each other. All
prominent persons are closely watch
ed. and followed even while shopping,
and should they meet another person
OF note and exchange few words,
the fact is carefully noted. Turks no
longer dare assemble in parties OF
five or six for the purpose Of spend
ing their evenings together. 1t is i'm
possible for three or four OF them to-
sit down at a table in a coffee house
without having spy at the next. On
such occasions they always speak
very loud, SO that everybody may
hear them. Should a European con-
verse with Turk in the street. q spy
will follow them and try to ind out
what they are saying.
The result of all this is that the,
Turks avoid one another's company
as much as possible. and whenever
they do come together the converse
ton Is on the most futile subjects and
quite childish. The Turkish nation Ia.
growing more and more demoralized
under the present spy system.
