BIoxrnphx of a snownnke.

Under this title Mr.. Arthur II. Bell,
in knowledge. describes the life his.
tory of the aerial frost flowers of win
ter. In order to have a fair start in
life a snowflake should be built up on
a particle of dust. Then, if it has the
good fortune to begin its career at the
top of cloud many miles above the
earth, and to pass through many at
mospheric strata, differing in their
temperature and the amount of moist
ure they contain, our snowflake is very
likely to become notable individual
among its kind. In a stratum of warm
er air the little flake catches moisture
on its tiny spicules. and when it enters
a colder stratum below, the moisture
is frozen, and so the fake grows. In
thawing air many flakes sometimes
cohere, forming disks from an inch to
two or three inches across.

GENUINE EGG SHAMPOO.
Formula for Making a Preparation
That Il Absolutely Reliable and
Sare to Please.

Many of the compounds called egg
shampoos contain no eggs. They are
generally stiff soap paste, made up
in substantially this fashion: Take
four ounces of transparent soap. half
an ounce of carbonate of potash, six
ounces of water and two of glycerine.
The soap should be coarsely powdered
and mixed with water in which the
carbonate of potash has already been
dissolved. Heating over fire hastens
the melting of the soap. The glycer-
inc should be mixed in last of all. Ii
the composition is too firm on cooling,
little water may be added. A SAM
pie may be tested for this purpose
before the whole batch has cooled.
Perfume may be introduced, il il be
wanted.
For genuine egg shampoo the fol-
lowing formula is recommended by
the New York Tribune:
Three fresh eggs, half an ounce of
spirit of soap. 160 grains of carbonate
of potash, $50 minims of ammonia wa
ter, two drops of rose oil, the same
amount of bergamot oil, one drop of
geranium oil, one of oil of bitter
almonds, and % ounces of rosewater.
The eggs should be well whipped and
mixed with the rosewater. The am
monia water, carbonate of potash and
spirit of soap having first been COM
bined. they may be added to the other
fluid. The whole having been well
stirred, the perfumes may be added.
The volume of the latter will be so
small that another vigorous stirring
is essential to their thorough incor-
poration.

needed, the upper end being securely
fastened aloft, and the lower end
drawn through the clamp until in po-
sition for the operator to insert his
feet in the stirrups and begin the
ascent. BY supporting the weight
with the hands and spreading the feet
apart slightly the legs can be drawn
up to place the clamp in new posi-
ton. when the weight is transferred
to the clamp and the hands secure a
hold higher up on the rope. By thus
alternating the weight between he
clamp and the hands the climber
ascends quite rapidly and has the add
vantage of being able to rest at any
point without any more cxertion
than would be required to stand on
the ground. Charles f. Knop. of De-
troit, Mich. is the invertor.-Chicago

the spring won in the intercollegiate
contest. Miss Case graduated from

USE OF RIGHT HAND.
Not Due to Training, Say Scientific
Investigators, But to Purely
Natural Distinction.

Prof. Cunningham pointed out how
it is evident that as far back as we can
trace man he was preferentially right
handed. Thus DIR. r. Lehmann-Nitsche
had examined the bones of prehistoric
men from southern Bavaria and had
found that the clavicle and the long
bones of the right upper limb were dis
tinctly heavier and more massive than
the corresponding bones of the oppo-
site side. All the evidence at our dis
posal goes to show that ght-handed-
ness is due to a transmitted functional
prominence of the left brain, and this
functional preemine nee was not a hap
hazard acquisition which had been
picked up during the lifetime of the
individual, it rested upon some struc-
tural foundation which transmitted
from parent to offspring. Modern sci
ence, then, if we have correctly inter-
preted Prof. Cunningham's meaning,
would seem to show that there is a
distinction in nature of the right hand.
1t is Individually the one by which
most delicate manual actions are per-
formed, with one marked exception
namely, the lingering in the play of
stringed instruments which are played
with bow.-London Lancet.

found out later.
The great hall was crowded with
the best people of New England. NV
uncle was with others seated upon
the platform. Mr.. Cho9te's face was
all nerves and muscles, his large eyes
and mouth conspicuous. For half
an hour his voice was almost a mon
otone with every word carefully and
distinctly uttered, but this was but
the breathing of gentle wind be-
fore the storm. Soon he seemed to
lose control of his own emotions and
scared away among the stars, and
his features took on an unearthly
glow, his arms responded to every
sentence, his frail body swayed to
and fro and his audience unconscious
ly swayed with him and held thei.
breath for fear they would lose ,
word or motion.
No, / will never forget that speech.
He stopped because he had to stop,
for with the last eloquent sentence
he became exhausted and was bodily
lifted by m uncle and others to the
ante-room where he was stripped and
rubbed down like an exhausted race
horse. In an hour or so he was re-
newed and revived. This was Rufus
Choate-a bundle of quivering, pas
sionate nerves-whose eloquence no
audience could calmly listen to and
no jury withstand.-Bill Arp, in At

nected with each other that parallel
ism of the pointer is maintained with
the deviating line of the gun sight.
The bull's-eye mark is located in the
line which the pointer occupies when
the gun is truly sighted, and there is
also an adjustable mirror, which is
used for bringing the images of the
pointer and the bull's-eye within the
visual range of the instructor. When
the trigger is pulled the automatic
clamp serves to lock the parts in the
proper positions, and the clamp itself
is held in readiness for action by
means of setting devices.-Detroit
