tageS is shown in the accompanying
cuts. The shell is made in two parts
in order to permit of every portion OF
the interior being accessible for the
purpose of cleansing. In this manner
the bottle may not only be thoroughly
cleaned in the most sanitary manner,
but it can be dried perfectly after the
washing process.
This improvement has been evolved
from the brain of a Frenchman. The
bottom of the bottle constitutes one of
the parts, the remainder of the bottle
comprises the other. and when in use
the two are held firmly together by a
metal cap which screws on the bot
tom part Of the shell. A washer inter
posed between the bottom and the
shell makes the union at this point per-
fectly light.
Another notable feature of this in
novation is the means provided by the
inventor for keeping the contents of
the bottle warm for a great length of
time. By making the bottom hollow.
as shown, he offers a place for the re-
ception of piece of heated stone.
which will keep the milk warm for sew
eral hours, whereas without this it
would be cold in a few minutes.

This is the only free bridge between
st. Paul and Dubuque, Iowa. The
bridge and approaches are constructed
of steel and extend Seventy-fye feet
above lOwwater mark. It's length IS
1870 feet, including approaches, and
it has an eighteen-fOOt driveway and
four and one-half foot walk, which
terminates at the spiral approach end
in stairway.
The idea of a spiral approach was
conceived by the late Mr.. John q. Me-
10y, resident of the city, who also
donated the ground upon which it is
built The object in view was to
build an approach that would not ne
cessitate the crossing or occupying of
some of the principal business streets
of the city, and at the same time
would be long enough to make an easy
grade.
The spiral is complete success in
every detail, and hea lily laden teams
find it just as easy to ascend as the
straight approach on the opposite end
of the bridge. The ground enclosed
within the spiral has been converted
into a park-Scientfic american.

A Bit of Roman London.

The demolition of Newgate Prison
has led to the discovery beneath the
prison yard of section of the wall
which the Romans built around Lon
don. Fifteen feet high and eight feet
broad, the wall is formed chiefly of
Kentish rubble and Sussex gritstone
and is in good state of preservation,
but it was stated yesterday at meet
ing of the Court of Common Council
that it will have to be pulled down, as
it runs across the site of the new SEES
sions House. Deep down in the exca.
walton there has also been disclosed
curious brick archway which. it is
believed, formed a portion of the sub
terranean passage connecting the gate,
built in the year 100, with the jail

Charming KimonO.

Kimonos, or negligees which owe
their inspiration to the garment of
Japan, have taken a permanent hold
in Western favor and are constantly
appearing in some new form. The
graceful, yet perfectly simple May
Manton model shown is among the
latest and has much to commend 1t.
The original, from which the draw
ing was made, is of fine soft flannel.
with bands of plain India silk, but all
the materials used for gowns Of the
sort are suitable. Charming ones show
plain cotton crepe for the foundation.
lowered silk for the bands and count
less other suggestions might be made.
The kimono is made with fronts and
backs and is shaped by means of shoul-
der. underarm and centre back seams.
The sleeves are cut in deep points that
are eminently graceful. and both their
edges and those of the neck and front
are faced to form the bands.

which he assumes to be the sea SER
pent.
That there is literal sea serpent
is not believed by scientists, but that
there may be some large and unknown,
or uncaught fish, long, slender, and
serpent-like. inhabiting the ocean, at
tanning large size, is not beyond pos
sibility. An animal that doubtless has
figured as a sea serpent is shown i'll
the accompanying photograph. Specl-
mems sixty feet in length nave been
observed, and if this fish should at
tain a length of seventy or eighty feet
and be seen rushing along at the sur
face. one could hardly picture a more
remarkable ''sea serpent" The sub
ject of the illustration is an oar or
ribbon fish Regalicus), and was. pos
sibly, the largest ever taken in Amerl-
can waters. 1t came inshOre at New
port on the Santa Catalina Channel,
opposite the island of that name. An
Indian was riding up the beach when
he observed a large fish in the surf,
and after considerable difficulty hauled
out what he supposed to be sea ser
pent high on the sands. Not being
aware of the value of the specimen, he
stripped off some of its beautiful
"plumes," or dorsal fins. and carried
them to the town. Crowds went down
t. the shore to see the monster, which
was duly reported in the daily papers
as thirty feet in length and weighing
1000 pounds. When tlr2 excitement
had subsidized. Mr.. HoratiO J. FOrgy. an
attorney of Santa Ana, measured the
strange fish. The length was found
to be twenty-one feet; its weight was
estimated at between 500 and 600
pounds, but judging by the photograph,
and an anglers guess" three hun
dred pounds would seem ample,
though the writer has no desire to
trim the wonders of this remarkable
fish. The creature was, fortunately.
photographed by Mr.. G. L. Peabody,
and probably this is the only photo
graph extant of a large specimen of
Regalicus. From tbs photograph the
accompanying illustration was made

The Pencil.

The lead pencil SO generally used to-
day is not made from lead. but from
graphite. 1t derives its name from the
fact that prior to the time when pen
ellis were made from graphite metallic
lead was employed for the purpose.
Graphite was first used in pencils af-
ter the discovery in 1865 of the famous
Cumberland mines in England. This
graphite was of remarkable purity
and could be used without further
treatment by cutting it into thin slabs
and incasing them in wood.
For two centuries England enjoyed
practically a monopoly of the lead
pencil industry. In the eighteenth
century. however, the lead pencil in
dustrr had found its way into Ger
many. In 1761 Caspar FABLE, in the
village of Stein, near the ancient city
of Nufemburg. Bavaria, started in a
modest way the manufacture of lead
pencils and Nuremburg became and
remained the centre of the lead pencil
industry. For Are generations Faber's
descendants mace lead pencils. - Chi

new records claim that it makes a
horse two or three seconds faster.
There are endless opinions pro and
con, but just how much the new de-
vice accelerates the speed of a horse
is an unsolved problem.
The shield originated with bicycle
riders, and several experts in that line
have expressed the opinion, when
questioned on the subject, that when
there is no wind the shield is good for
two seconds additional speed. For the
first time in the history of the light
harness horse the wind shield was
adopted in races against time this sea-
son. 1t is a'V-shaped device of can
vas or metal that comes down close
to the ground and extends trifie wild
or than the wheels of the cart that IS
hooked to the runner and driven i'm
mediately in front of the speed trial
norse. That it is a speed accelerator
chere is no doubt, but it can only be
used in contests against time, and
then only by an experienced and dex-
ferrous race driver. who can both drive
and properly rate a runner.
From the demonstrations of the past
season there is every reason to be-
lieye that the wind shield was an as
distance of at least two seconds to any
trotter or PAGER going close to the two
minute speed, and it is the opinion of
come that shield can be constructed
so that it is possible for a PAGER to
follow it a mile in 1.55 or better. and a
trotter in 1.5S or better, and not have
Il horse distressed as much as he
would be in going mile under natural
conditions.

Advance in Microscopy.

Increased limit of visibility Ill MI
croscopy seems to be assured by new
principle of dark field illumination dlS.
covered by Professors Siedentopf ana
Zsigmondy, of Jena. Helmholtz had
estimated that the limit of microscopic
visibility was O.00O1 millimetre, OF
O. OOOOO3937 inch. By the new method
of illumination the limit is extended 10
from O.OOOOO4 to OO00O07 millimetre.
The report and description is published
in Volume 10, 1903, of the Annalen der
Physik. The principle of the improve
ment consists in eliminating the light
reflected from the surfaces OF the con-
densing lens and the microscopic oo-
iective whereby the Illuminating hght
enters the line Of vision, so that the
object becomes visible by its rehecteu
light above.

A Plague of Elephants.

Concerning the large increase in the
number of man eating tigers in India.
which is said to be due to the whole
sale slaughter of deer and the conse-
quent difficulty on the part of Stripes
in finding his usual food, it may be
pointed out that there is plague or
elephants in Madras, owing to over
production. The damage done to crops
and to young forests is becoming quite
serious, and it is even limited that
many human lives are sacriflced IN
the endeavor to combat the nuisance.
1t is estimated that in the last twenty
to twenty-five years the number or
wild elephants in Madras has. owing to
protective legislation. been quadru-
pied, and some drastic measures seem
to have now become absolutely neces'
sary.-King.

4 Travelling Backward.

One of the saddest things in the his
tory of college graduates is that SO
many cease to grow when they have
received their diplomas. On gradual
ton day they reach their mental high
water mark, but after that the Ude
gradually GIBBS, and it never rises
quite as high again.
When just from college many OF
these graduates impress one as men
of great promise; but some how OF
other, they remain prospectuseS III
their lives; they never become pun
lished volumes. They study law, teach
a while, or else, perhaps, engage Ill
business, but they do not hold on very
long anywhere or at anything. 1hey
seem to lose their grip, and, instead OIL
forging ahead, they drift down stream
AS a rule, a graduate who thus taIis
to realize his promise thinks that, wheh
he receives his sheepskin there is 10
need for further mental eXerti0n Oh
his part. He feels that he has won
his laurels, and that he can anord 10
rest upon them. After four years
study at college, he believes that he
has covered the whole field. HAVING
won q diploma, he has no other eoai
in view. Purposeless, without ne
plan or definite plan of work, he ne
