I'm Place OF the Atom,

If we must discard the atom what
are we to accept in its place? Two new
conceptions have been found necessary
the zion" as the unit of matter the
"electron" as the unit of force. The
new chemistry holds that matter and
force are different manifestations of the
same thing. Inertia is the character
istic; indeed, the indispensable, property
of both mttter and electricity. What
would be simpler than to assume that
the ultimate particles of each are one and
the same? Prof. Fleming has declared
that I'VE can no more have anything
which can be called electricity apart
from corpuscles than we can have mo-
mentum apart from matter"

ALARM CLOCK LIFTS PILLOW.
Unique Mechanism Contrived for the
Convenience of People Deaf
and Dumb.

w. E. Shaw, of Brookline, Mass, CAV,
an electrical party" recently. the fea-
ture of which was the exhibition of an
electric clock for blind deaf mutes. Mr.
Shaw is deaf and dumb and he was as
sisted in demonstrating the workings of
his invention by Tommy Stringer, blind,
deaf and dumb, who is making great
progress in the sciences.
The clock not only tells the time, but
alarms the sleeper by agitating lever
which is connected by string to pill
low, causing the pillow to move up and
down, the vibrations being communicate
ed to the sleeper by a touch. A circuit
is closed, by which an electric current is
sent through small incandescent lamp
In front of parabolic mirror, the rays
OF which are thrown into the face Of the
sleeper. 1t releases spring connected
with hammer, which falls upon full
minating cap, the loud explosion OF
which at close quarters is perceptible tC
deaf person.
1t also gives notice OF the entrance OF
burglars by any of the above methods
by means Of connection by wire with
the doors and windows. 1t gives indi'
| cation Of fire by electric thermostats
placed anywhere on the premises.

HUCKABACK BORDER.

COON will be suitable. The open spaces
between the two horizontal bars are
covered in darning stitch. The bars
themselves are then worked solid in
satin stitch, and the interlaced portions
of the design outlined on both edges and
dlled between with French knots or
with herringbone stitch. This latter
is formed by placing stitches diagonal
ly across the space at regular intervals,
slanting first one way and then the
other with ends crossing. somewhat
after the manner of rail fence. The
design must be duplicated as often as
accessory to complete the embellish-
ment OF the desired article.-Mae T.

Five pairs of lacings are required for

three inches to the usual waist meas
