A BIG LECTURE EVENT.
The Appearance of Captain Hobson.
Stands in a Glass by
Itself.

OF necessity. most of the men and
women who appear as lecturers lin such
a course as the New Century appeal to,
certain special sorts of public interest.
Some people have a fondness for travel
lecturers, just as some theat -goers pre-
fer comedy or melodrama; others Of the
lecture-going public find their chief salts
faction in lectures by men, of letters such
as Hamilton Wright Mabie or DR.. Van
Dyke. These sand others like them are
eminent and famomt men, but they do not
interest the whole public as do lecturers
who are men Of action and have. won
fame by some remarkable and striking ex-
ploit. ~
Such a lecturer was Stanley; another
was Nansen; such Admiral Dewey would
be if he were to take the lecture platform

is needless to say that lecturers Of this
type are very rare. Some times many

Nobody was ever paid cent for indors-

There has been some famous coasting
this year in Minneapolis and. even if the
children get tired Of skating. coasting
seems to be a never failing joy. There
are many parts Of the city in which the
hills are cut with the tracks of children's S
sleds and where the smaller fry are num-
erous, but the one section in which every
one has pitched in and enjoyed the sport
is Washburn Park. This picturesque and
charming suburb is all up and down hill
and affords a bewildering variety of slides
from the straight, steep incline at the
top of the long, high ridge parallel to Min

long bridge to the low round knobs for

THE HAPPY MAN IN SUMMER

By way of contrast it may be worth while to consider the position of a gentleman. in some respects a typi- cal New Yorker, who has not been out of town a day this summer except oc- casionally to join his family at their boarding place and remain from late train out on Saturday afternoon to the first one in on Monday morning. To give them what they thought they wanted was pleasure; but what they thought they wanted was exactly what he kenw he did not want. So he remained at home, with the sim plest form of domestic organization, a single servant to make his bed and keep the place. clean and in good order
 Not a fly or mosquito has invaded the cool and well ventilated chambers of his dwelling. He has slept nightly in his own bed in perfect comfort. His bath has been ready for him morning. evening and night, and has been the most prized of luxuries. He has gone to bed when he pleased, after reading in pajanaas as long as he found inter esting, slept peacefully, undisturbed by a sound, and risen when he was ready, usually an hour or so later than would have procured him break fast at either hotel or boarding house. He has taken his meals when and where he fancied, has had every sea sonable delieacy, has thoroughly enjoy ed his food, and ends the summer in perfect physical condition, well rested, well nourished and happy. This may not be the best way of passing the summer but it is certainly one way which has many advantages and those who try it under proper conditions and who are not of lonesome" habit generally find it extremely agreeable. The man who summers in town is not always an object of sympathy.-New York Times

CLEANING AND COOLING AIR.

With Waters Aid, Temperature Is Re
 duced Ten Degrees.
 It has been demonstrated that much the larger share of trouble caused by imperfect contacts in switchboard con nections in telephone exchanges can be prevented by proper ventilation of the operating rooms, and that implies thorough cleansing of the air entering them. Many experiments have been tried in the way of dry cleaning and Altering through screens of wire and cheesecloth or cotton batting, but all such. devices require frequent renewal sometimes at considerable trouble and expense. By continued use any filter of this character must deteriorate and eventually become clogged, and in order to avoid the results of neglect 1t ought to be practically automatic This point is essential in an air-clean- ing system.
 In. the case of one large telephone company very satisfactory results have been obtained by passing the air sup ply through a fine spray of water, and afterwards precipitaffng the moisture with the collected impurities and dis charging it into the sewer. The water. which is taken up at high velocity and held in mechanical suspension, is ex- tracted by centrifugal force by pass ing it through series of tubes in which spirals are so placed as to give the air whirling motion. causing the suspended particles. wh icl.are heavier than the air, to bethrown outward and brought in contact with the tubes, from which they flow through perforations to drip4pan below. The washing process imparts about TO per cent hu- midity at temperature of 70 degrees Fahr in the operating room.
 This, is considered the most desira- ble for health and comfort and avoids the excessive dryness sometimes re sulting from other systems of heating and ventilatmg. Moreover, in summer time. with the temperature outside at 80 degrees Fahr and with the normal temperature of the city wateT, the air delivered to the rooms can be readily reduced to 70 degrees. This is sup 1 elementary advantage which must ap' peal at once to sufferers from extreme summer temperatures everywhere, and with the growing knowledge that such an advantage is available will un- doubtedly come the insistence that buildings should be kept cool in one 1 season as we'll as warm in another l CasSier's Magazine
