Confusion Of Names.
n the London Chronicle.

From the london Chronicle.
An evening contemporary has been writ
ing of the distinguished actor Charles
''Keene." whose art was other than that of
Kean. The slip is natural enough, and con-
sonance and coincidence Of famous names
will create confusion in the future, as 1t has
done in the past. We pity the prospective
grandsons who will have to disentangle the
two Winston Churchills. They are sure to
repeat the mistake Of the writer who named
Spencer as the author of the s.Faery
Queen" and the many others who confuse
the Johnson who made a butt of Boswell
with the Jonson who was made Ben by
his parents. Moreover. Lord Chatham and
his greater son William make Pitt into
which many tumble. One of the first duties
of the mother who gives birth to possible
genius-which Is to say. all mothers-is to
give the son name that none can mistake

HEAT IN THE OVEN.
How the Bakers Determine It by the
Mere Touch Of the Hand.

How the Bakers Determine It by the
Mere Touch Of the Hand.
From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
Bakers have a curious way of telling
just what the temperature of the oven is"
said a downtown baker, who has been in
the business for more than a quarter of a
century. 'and they can tell, too. with al
most marvellous accuracy You take man
who is an expert in the business, and he
can tell what the temperature Of the oven
is by simply touching the handle Of the
oven door, In nine cases out of ten he will
not miss 1t to the fraction of degree.
Bakers have other ways, Of course, of test
ing the heat of the oven. For instance,
when baking bread they sometimes throw
piece of white paper into the oven, and If
1t turns brown the oven Is at the proper
temperature; Or when baking other things
they will throw little cornmeal flour into
the oven in order to test the heat. But the
bakers fingers are the best gauge, and
when you come to think of the different
temperatures required In baking different
things. 1t Is no small achievement to even
approximate the heat Of the oven by touch
ing the handle of the oven door.
Bakers figure that during the rising time
Of a loaf of bread, after 1t has been placed
in the oven, it ought to be in temperature
of IS degrees Fahrenheit. During the bak-
Ing process in order to cook the starch, ex-
pand the carbonic acid gas, air and steam,
and drive off the alcohol, the inside of the
loaf must register at least 22O degrees In
baking rolls, buns. scenes, tea biscuits
drop cakes, fancy cakes, New York cakes.
mullins puff cakes and things of that sort.
the oven must show a heat of 45O degrees
or higher. When the oven is at 400 degrees
it is fit for cream puffs, sugar cakes, queen
cakes, rock cakes, jumbles, lady fingers,
rough and ready and jelly rolls At $50 de-
grees wine cakes cup cakes. ginger nuts

such as raisin, currant, citron, pound, bride

class. But whatever temperature the old
baker wants, he can tell when he has it

The government geological survey is now

to find the velocity of the subterranean cur

channel at regular intervals. An electro
