Dust and Telephone Switches.
rorrn CaoSiar,a MapaEinA

It has been demonstrated that much the
larger share Of trouble caused by imperfect
contacts in switchboard connections 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 made in the way of dry cleaning by
filtering through screens Of wire and cheese
cloth or cotton batting. but all such de-
vices require frequent renewal. sometimes
at considerable troubla and expense. BY
continued use any filter OF this character
must deteriorate and eventually become
eiogged and In 9rder to avoid the results
matte. This point Is essential in an air
cleaning system.
In the case Of one large telephone COM
obtained by passing the air supply through
a fine spray OF water and afterward pre-
cipitating the moisture with the collected
impurities and discharg1ng 1t into the sewer.
The water which is taken up at high We
locity and held in mechanical suspension is
extracted by centrifugal force by passing 1t
through a series OF tubes in which spirals
are SO placed as to give the air whirling
which are heavier than the air, to be
thrown outward and brought in contact
with the tubes, from which they flow
through perforations to drip pan below.
The washing process imparts about 70 per
cent humidity at q temperature of 70 de-
grees Fahrenheit in the operating ROOM
This Is considered the most desirable for
health and comfort and avoids the excess
sive dryness sometimes resulting from other
systems Of heating and ventilating. More
over, in summer time. with the tempera-
ture outside at eighty degrees Fahrenheit.
and with the normal temperature of the
city water, the air delivered to the rooms
can be readily reduced to seventy degrees.
This is supplementary advantage which
must appeal at once to sufferers from ex-
IRENE summer temperatures everywhere.
and with the growing knowledge that such
an advantage is available the insistence
will undoubtedly come that buildings should
be kept cool in one season as well as warm
in another.

BEING IN SOCIETY.
IF a Man Likes to Be Exclusive, Just
Let Him Alone.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
A woman is so irritated because she can
not enter that corporation known as the
smart set that she has cut up rusty ana
got her family name into the papers, Ike
the disappointed heir in 1.-THE Black Sheep
This might be a preliminary to getting
job on the stage. in some quarters or
classes, but to her 1t Is very serious. What
Is there about the little company OF -FOUR
hundred people. more or less, that surs
the jealousy of so many womenf one
can understand why people like money
but it doesn't needfully make the people
interesting who own it. On the contrary,
when people arc celebrated only for having
money it is found that they do not know
how to be celebrated for anything else.
One can understand why the fine houses
of the four hundred should be. admired,
but you will see decorations and br1c-a-
brac every bit as fine In the hotels ana
shops you will see better pictures in the
Metropolitan Museum. you will hear bet
ter music at the opera and the symphony
concerts you can inspect clothes quite as
interesting in the stores. and Jeweiry as
served over the rich mems tables are less
varied and no better than you can buy
for yourself in the restaurants; the parks,
boulevards, libraries and galleries are as
free for you as for the Astors. What Is
it, then, that envelops the leisure class
in this glamor of mystery and charm and
so piques the envy and interest Of wo-
mankind? Nothing but this: The four
hundred want to be exclusive.
The right Of any individual and of any
club or coterie of individuals to be ex-
elusive ought to be respected. 1t Is
free country, and If man wants to sit
on hill top and be a club or an aristoc-
racy, let him alone. He isn't harming
anybody If you push yourself into the
society of the avenue. when you live on
the Bowery, the avenue may act SO I'M
pleasantly that you will be sorry you
crowded in. If you pay no attention to
the avenue you will discover your reward
| in many things that are better worth while.
You can see the same plays, read the
same books, eat the same food as are seen,
read and eaten by the idols and have just
as good a time. For, between ourselves.
nobody has good time in this world I'M
less he does something. People who do
nothing are duh company for folks who
do. and for themselves

NEWSPAPERS BY AMATEURS.
One Of the Best Magazines is Printed
In Brooklyn.
From the Boston Post.

From the Boston Post. Il;
Boston is said to be=fhe=home Of old clubs.
and 1t is likewise the place Of organization
for various associations started on unique
lines. Last June in this city there was or
ganized an association, known es the Inter-
state, which is designed to represent the ac-
tive, working element OF amateur Journal
ism in America. People Of all ages and vari-
Gus walks Of life have already Joined. the
only requirement for membership being the
use of spare time in getting out magazines
or contributing to them without pay. School
papers are barred frein representation, be-
cause most of them have a subscription
price. On looking over a collection of anna
teur papers today they-are found to be
mostly little magazines, built on lines Of
the Philisttne, physically. and invariably
representing the editot,s IDEAS, with no con-
sideratton for commercial value.
One Of the prettiest Of these magazines as
we'll as one Of the most clever is the Smok-
err. issued by Charles N. Andrews of Brook
lyn, who Is to be in this city Monday, when
at Hotel Nottingham he will preside over
a meeting OF amateur journalists-the first
convention of the Interstate Amateur Press
Association. Among the best known Of the
amateur papers of Boston are the Chatting
Dish, issued Jointly by a lawyer and a
newspaper woman; Hesperides, showing the
literary side of an importer Of wooden
goods; Literary Gem, edited by a clerk and
a newspaper man; and Fleur- de- Lis, gotten
out by a school girl Boston has seventeen,
amateur papers altogether.

THE CITY CHURCH.
Its First Function is Toward Proper
Family Living.
From the Chnutauquan.


The city church has first of all a function
TO fulfill to the family life of the city. In
so doing It not only gives what homes have
a right to expect from it. but gets from the
family that upon which Its own perpetuity
and progress must depend For the family
is the type of relationship to realize which
the church exists. 1t is the primary social
cell which divides and develops the other
structures Of society. In religion 1t is the
central sphere which unites to itself and to
one another all the spheres Of human life
within which the relationships Of religion
are to be realized. The family is. therefore,
to be utilized by the church in two ways
to set the earthly type, standard and ex-
ample of religious relationships Godward
and MAYNARD. and to realize these relation
ships throughout the world by the use of
home life, household equipment and the CO.
operation OF family groups.
The church has no higher social function

To Light Tunnels.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser.
Phosphorescent tunnels and stations are
now suggested for insuring public safety in
the Paris tube. A company has offered to
paint luminous bands on the walls. on exit
doors. etc. which would obvfate all danger
from the sudden extinguishing Of the cleo
trio, petroleum or other lamps in case of
fire or any other accident. The phosphores-
cence Is produced by a coating Of calcium
monosulphide. obtained by mixing sulphur
and oyster shells. or calcined cuttleflsh
bones, and therefore costing very little. Be-
sides lighting tunnels and stations suffi-
GENTLY for emergencies. the phosphorescent
paint could be used for inscriptions by en-
craving the latter on glass. and filing the
lines Of the letters with the calcium mono
sulphide. Thus Indications, as This way
out" would become luminous in the event
of failure of the ordinary lights. The paint
remains phOsphorescent for a considerable
time as oxidation, Transforming the sub
stance into non-luminous sulphate Of lime,
only sets In very gradually.

The Vigorous Grasshopper.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
Grasshoppers are so thick in parts of
Montana that they have eaten the herb
age from the ranges and gather In such
numbers on the railroad tracks that the
engine wheels cannot turn for slipperi-
ness. so they stall the trains. This
sounds like large statement. but there
is no doubt that the hoppers are thick
and that they are doing mischief. So long
as the innocent farmer kills the birds he
must suffer the consequences. for the time
has been when armies of insects were
followed by focks Of pigeons, wild tur-
keys and other fowl that destroyed them
by millions. 1t has been given out, some-
what officially. that parasites had been
discovered and diseases invented whereby
the locusts. grubs, potato bugs and other
pests could be kept down: but there seems
to be a general agreement among the de-
vouring hosts not to acquire any OF the
parasites or the diseases. and their appe-
ttes are as sound as ever.

BAD SPELLING.
Reflections on Ones Inability to Put
the Right Letters in the Right Place.

the Right Letters in the Right Place
From the Philadelphia Record
Besides being the seat OF the Northwest
ern University and various other educa-
tional institutions. Evanston. Ill. Is the
home of Prof j. Scott Clark, who makes
fetch Of correct photography. Recently
many applicants for admission to the
Northwestern University were rejected be-
cause Of bad spelling. and special school
was established for instruction in this
branch. How necessary such school Is
has been further shown by the discovery Of
1890 gross. and in some cases mischievOus
errors In spelling In the revised ordinances
of the town. The cost of the misspelling to
the community Is several hundred dollars.
the entire edition of ordinances having been
destroyed and new and corrected one
ordered. The blame primarily rests on the
committee of the common council to which
the revision was intrusted.
In defense Of themselves the members of
the committee have published a communica-
ton to the public, in which they protest
against the Importance which is generally
given to good spelling. They affirm that the
ability to spell we'll is direct gift of heav-
en-, and cannot be acquired by those in
whom the gift Is lacking. They deny that
there is any warrant for making the ability
to spell test of responsibility, or even of
learning. and recite that many men who
have been eminent in different departments
Oh enterprise nave been constantly guilty OF
erroneous photography They include In the.
list George Washington and many states
men whose intelligence has never been
doubted.
Probably it Is a mistake to say that any
person with an average memory cannot
learn to spell. AS there is a lack Of analogy
In the spelling of words, learning to spell is
chiefly a matter Of memory. Repetition is
the only secret about it. There are some
aids. but it Is the words to which there IL
no guide which are the common source of
trouble. Persons who do not spell well
have simply neglected the study of or
biography, and are not entitled to the SYM
pathy they ask Operators of typewriting
machines who have considered themselves
the victims of defective photographed
memory have often become good spoilers
through practice In a vast proportion of
cases bad spelling may be traced to wrong
pronunciation, which Is even more frequent
than Is wrong spelling Probably the mod
ern methods of instruction have something
to do with the number of bad spoilers
among fairly educated people. The old
spelling-bee system insured repetition. In
recent years the writing of the spelling les
sons has in many schools taken the place
OF the oral system. The men and women
who had gone through the district school Of
half century or more ago were almost in
variable good spoilers. If, as the Evans
ton councilmen maintain. spelling be gift,
1t is apparent that it Is not bestowed on
man as literally as formerly.

SHARKS O SOUP.
TerrOrs of the Sea to BE Turned to
Account in Il CONNER
ciaI Way.

Commerce proposes now to convert
the sharks of the Bay of San Juan del
Norte, in Nicaragua, into factory
products, ays a late report.
Americans have been led by the
vast number and size of the sharks
down there and the case of catching
them into studying possible uses fo1
the monsters, and they find that there
is a lot of money in sharks. Indeed,
there is hardly a part Of the brute
that cannot be utilized for something
Shark fms furnish a jelly that
makes a delicious soup. There is an
excellent market for It wherever there
are Chinese, and if it were once Of
fered as an American product 1t might
not be long before Americans and 9th.
ers would relish it as much as the
Chinese do now.
The livers of the sharks produce a
clear oil that is very valuable, being
in great demand for watches. clocks
and fine guns. 1t is held In almost ae
much estimation a the Oil obtained
from porpoise and dogflsh liver, which
is the finest animal oil there is.
The skin Of sharks is of a beautiful
Furnished gray or blush color. 1t
looks like finely grained leather, be.
cause 1t is full of tiny prickles, all set
n way. Under the name of sha'
green it has a variety of uses.
Even the bones of sharks are useful
The backbone is in constant demand
by w~alking-cane manufacturers. The
teeth and jawbones are salable to col
lectors and tourists.
When the American business man
gets after the sharks In the Bay OF
San Juan del Norte there will be dis
may In the tropical fish world, fol-
the natives have left the monsters
practically undisturbed for centuries
and the result is that from Greytowr
north and south the sea is thronged
with sharks of all species, ranging liz
sizes from two feet to Is feet and ever
more.
Among them are the swift blue
sharks, the savage striped tiger
sharks, spotted leopard sharks, hid
eous hammerheads, threshers OF
swingle tails, the immense, but lazy
basking sharks, which often grow sc
large that they have been mistaken
for whales.
