A New Method Of Making Casts Of
Fish,

One Of the latest outgrowths Of the
wonderful art OF electroplaung is the
use Of the "galvano-electrical method"
In taxldermy in making casts of fishes,
reptiles, birds and animals. The
Smithsonian taxidermists were among
the first to adopt this new method.
1t has been the experience in send
ing about plaster and papier-mache
casts OF animals to various expositions
that they are subject to much damage
in packiis; and shipping. Instead Of
fragile objects of this kind, therefore,
persons will see animals Of hollow
copper and brass. 80 lifelike, however,
that many will think that the reol
thing Is before them.

MiiIiner's Hat Holder.

Men have for some years past had
the temerity to hang out their signs as
makers Of ladies' suits and costumes.
but the man milliner is as yet a scarce
article, and liable to be SO for some
time to come. Possibly the invention
we show here might have been de-
signed by a man miiliner. If there had
been more of them in the business. but
as 1t is. the idea originated with a
woman. and is likely to be used almost
exclusively by women. The invention
comprises a number of clamps and a
pair of telescoping rods, with trian-
guiar support for the hat at one end
and a screw clamp at the opposite end
which can be attached to table. shelf
or chair. The hat support consists of
three proje citing wires. and by sliding

and down on it's central rod the ends
of the wires are expanded and con-

init of the hat being held at any height
and in any convenient position. while
the base which carries the triangular
holder is mounted on a spindle to ro-
tate freely and present any side Of the
hat that the milliner desires to work
on. Sarah S. Terrence of Chicago Is
the inventor.

Gas Burner and Self Ianlter. ,

If citizen of ancient Rome could

knowledge of the origin and action of
the gas itself or of the electricity, it is
safe to say he would be more surprised
than at some of the so called miracles
which the alchemist and charlatan of
his day produced. The gas burner and
