ELECTRIC FLY KILLER.
II Causes i Current to Pass Through the Insects Bodies and In
 stantIy Kill Them.

Nothing less than the electrocution of flies is the end the inventor of the device here shown seeks to attain. The invention is designed especially for use in stores, kitchens, dining rooms, etc, and is arranged to lure the insects to light on the apparatus by providing suitable bait and then to pass an electric current through bodies to instantly electrocute them
 This fy-killer consists of a frame made of insulating material, either wood or hard rubber, and having bait-holder midway between the top and bottom of the row of vertical strips of metal which form the cleo

Internal Parts In Action.

Internal parts of the living body in action have been photographed by Dr. P. II. Eykman. In investigate ing the motion of the tongue, pharynx and larynx in swallowing, he fixes an electric contact on the Adams ap- pie, the movement of which closes the current feeding the X-ray tube at perfectly definite moment dur ing the motion. To get a distinct photograph it is necessary to repeat the motion 120 or 130 times. The po- sition of the contact is altered for obtaining pictures of other phases of the swallowing. Despite the diff culties of this curious experiment, fairly good photographs have been made, and they throw new light on Che working of the organs of the throat.

Ginger AppIeS.

Ginger apples are almost as good as ginger pears. A recipe that is well rec commended requires two pounds of quartered apples (skins and cores re- moved, of course), which have lain in the sun for about ten hours to harden a little. Boil two pounds of sugar with one and half pints of water and one ounce of ginger root, until it makes a rich sirup. Skim out the ginger, put in the apples and cook gently until trans parent. Skim the fruit into cans, boil down the sirup until it will about fill them, fill up and seal as if canned fruit. Detroit Free Press.

trocuting apparatus. These metal strips are connected alternately to the positive and negative wires of an electric circuit and it is obvious that an insect alighting on the strips must come in contact with both the positive and negative strips at the same instant, when the passage ot the current through its body accom- plishes the desired end.
 Arrangement is made to suspend the flying killer from the ceiling or to place it on a table or counter ana as it carries no poison there is no danger of the flies infecting groceries or eatables if the apparatus fails to work in every case. The inventor is Edwin R. Greene, of Providence, R' Daily News.

WHAT ELECTRICITY IS.
The Result of Splitting the Atoms or Elementary Substances Into
 Yet Smaller Units.

What is electricity? This question Is now answered by many scientific men in a way that would have aston ished the most advanced thinkers Of score of years ago; and yet their conclusions seem to be supported by the latest experiments, explains the Peoples Magazine. According to them, electricity is purlely material, and is the result of splitting the atoms of elementary substances into yet smaller units. An atomic chip, or electron, is the unit of socalled negative electricity" and what IS left of the atom is positively charged" as we used to describe it.. The socalled cathode rays" are jets of electrons, and where these strike solid they produce the explosive ether waves that we know as Roent- gen rays. In certain atoms, as those of iron, the free electrons circle about the remainder of the atom, and this constitutes the phenomenon of mag netism. Those who hold these views assert that they have thus discov- cred, isolated and even weighed the electric substance, which may in deed, prove to be the primordial sub stance-the 'protyle''-of the phil oSOnherS

HENRY'S EXPERIENCE.
He Was Very BashfuI nd Needed En- cOurREement In Ills Love
 Making.

Henry was bashful lover. He He loved her we'll, and she was worthy of his affection, for she was modest, intelligent, sweet, and hon. orable; but, like all good women, she yearned for the respectful caresses that are the evidences of pure af- lection, relates the Chicago Journal,
 She, however, yearned in vain.
 Henry worshiped her. He might kiss the hem of her garment, but to kiss her lips or cheek-the very au- dacity of the thought made him trem ble.
 They sat together by the southern sea, looking out on the track of the moons light, which white-winged yachts were crossing now and then.
 It was witching hour-a scene for love and calm delight.
 Suddenly she moved slightly away from him.
 Please, Henry, don't do that" she said
 "What?" he asked, in genuine sur prise.
 "Oh, you needn't ask mel she re. piled. You were just going to put your arm round my waist-and you were going to try to kiss me"
 s'Dear Lillie-"
 "Oh, you needn't tell me different; you were going to do it. We'll after all, I suppose you are not to blame. It is just what lover would do to his sweetheart, and I suppose l must not be offended if you do it."
 And Henry grasped the situation and did exactly what Lillie supposed he would do; and the moon grinned, and the stars winked, and the wave lets laughed, and a wasp that was about to alight on the maiden's cheek flew away and settled on the nose of an old maid who was sitting near the band-stand.

 Authorities.

To make French salad chop fine half 2 dozen sprigs of parsley, half small onion and half dozen anchovies. Have some cold slices of boiled tongue; Lay these in a salad dish, put the chopped mixture over it, and pour French dressing having in it some mustard, over all, and serve.
 Baked potatoes with cheese are rel ished as change. Select large pota- toes. scrub we'll and bake until done. Cut them in half and scoop out without breaking the skins. Mash and beat up lightly with salt, pepper, little cream or milk and grated cheese. Fill the skins and brown in the oven. These are said to be very easily digested. Cover a soiled white felt hat with -four, let it remain in that condition over night. Unless the case is an ex- treme one, the grime will go with the flour when it is brushed off the next morning.
 A good way to purify the air of sick room in rainy weather is to pour lit | tie oil of lavender into cup of steam | ing hot water. This will also purify dining-room and halls of disagreeable cooking odorS.
 For a meat souffie, grind fine any cold meat that the house affords. To cup | ful and half of meat add slice each
 of cold boiled ham and tongue and of
 Bologna sausage. Mix with cupful of l breadcrumbs and two cupfuls of white sauce For the sauce use pint of milk, two tablespoonfuls of flour and | two tablespoonfuls of butter and salt and pepper to taste. Stir into the meat, crumbs and white sauce mixture, the yolks of four eggs, and when 1t IS

ETIQUETTE OF RIDING.
Some Points Which Should Be Care fully Observed by Gentlemen
 on Horseback.

When a gentleman rides in the park or other public place, etiquette re- quires that he should approach a lady on the off side or right side; and that in either meeting or passing, if she be alone. he should slacken his pace to a walk, says the London Live Stock. During a visit which Lord Chief Justice Dennlan paid to Wal mer castle three years before the Duke of Wellington's death, in con- versatiosr about riding, the duke said: "WbAn I meet a lady on horseback I aaways stop, and if her horse seems troublesome, offer to ride alongside her in the Row until it is quiet. The other day l met a lady on fresh, violent horse. so 1 took off my hat, and said: Shall I ride with you? My horse is perfectly quiet She knew me, for she replied: No, your grace; l think can get on very we'll After she was gone 1 felt sure that it was Jenny Lind" "We all agreed" adds Lord Denman, "that the great singer should have accepted the services of the great duke, whether she wanted them or not When gentleman ac- companies a lady on horseback, he should ride on the right side, holding his own bridle and whip in his right hand that he may be prepared to as- sist her with his left hand, if need full. Nothing is so rude as for a gem tleman to gallop past lady on horse back A gentleman should never ride between two ladies, unless at their request.
