How Satin Was Disco cred.

The discovery of the principle of the manufacture of satin was a pure accident. The word "satin," which originally was applied to all silk stuffs, has since the last century been used to designate simply those tissues which present only lustrous surface. The discovery was made by a silk weaver named Octavio Mai. During a dull period of business one day he was pacing before his loom, not know ing how to give new impulse to his trade.
 As he passed the machine each time he pulled short threads from the warp and. following an old habit. put them into his mouth and rolled them about, soon after splitting them upon the floor. Later he discovered little ball of silk upon the floor of his shop and was astonished at the brilliancy of the threads. He repeated the experiment and eventually employed various mu- cilaginous preparations and succeeded in giving satin to the world.

 There Is infinite variety in the num- Der of eggs laid by different animals, the general rule being that those high est In the scale of life are least prolific.
 Among vertebrates fish are the most prolific Trout and salmon average 1000 eggs to every pound of weight. Buekland reckoned the roe of a half pound herring at 19,S4O, of an eight pound turbot at 3S5, 900 and Of thirty pound cod at 5,OOO,OOO. while the stur- geon has more than a third of its weight ready for the toothsome caviare.
 Mollusks vary in their powers of re- production from thirty to fifty at a time in snails, to the thousands of the whelk, while the spat of some reaches 100000. It is among insects that stu pendous numbers appear, reaching a climax in the termites, or white ants. The queens of these are egg laying machines of the most astonishing fe- cundity. They become huge cylindrical packages, 2,OO0 times their usual size, chained to one spot. The laying at the rate of sixty eggs a minute, or SO,- 900 a day. reaches probably in two years the enormous total of 5O,OOO,OOO!

 She held out both hands to Allyn Hardin, and as his own closed over hers a sudden picture flashed before
 her. She heard again those peals of childish laughter, saw again mans head bend swiftly down, like a great boys, beneath the tug of baby hands;
 saw a face, habitually cold, alight with something divinely warm as it had looked at her across the sunny head of little Alice from the narrow door way of fast receding train. Her heart gave a bound that frightened her, and, drawing her hands away.
 she turned and looked again upon the moonlit water.
 "I was called home unexpectedly on business" Allyn was explaining, when
 he noted that she was not listening. He stepped nearer to her side. Miss Ellison," he began. Then he saw how the moonlight was caught and
 shimmered in the tears that lay on her cheek and which she could not help any more than she could have told the reason why they fell. Whats the matter, Alice" ... There was a long pause, and when she answered her voice was like tired child's.
 Nothing; only I'm so tired" She had turned and involuntarily
 stretched forth her hands again, but Allyn's hands slipped past hers, and he folded her in his arms.
 "Oh, Alice," he murmured-"Alice, you don't know how love you" She raised her wet face to his, and as he bent low over her the weight slipped from her heart and the old life that had so tired her became a thing of the past.

zae Movement of Odor.

That Odors move with the air or diffuse through it like gases and do not pass through 1t in waves as sounds do or in swiftly moving particles like the radium emanations seems to be conclusively shown by experiments on the propagation of scents through small tubes. In such tubes there can be no general motion of the air, and the rate of travel of an odor is ex- tremely slow. That of ammonia took over two hours to get through tube a yard and half long. The presence of the ammonia could be detected chem ically at about the same time that it's smell was noticed: It seemed to make little difference in the speed whether the tube was held horizontally or yer tically or, whether the odor moved up or down.-Success. -....z....-.. ..-z.-.

LIVING DOLL GIVES ONE PER-

Of Amusements-Ce Censorship of DR..
Dickey Criticised by the
Director.

Winona Lake, Ind, July 25.-As
the result of the well-meant attempt
of some of the directors of Winona
to provide mild form Of amusement
for the cottagers here the resort is in
an uproar that may result in the abol-
ishment Of the present plan of amuse-
ment.
A little skirt dance lasting just six
minutes was the cause of the excite
| ment
AS result of the action of some of
the directors of Winona an innovation
is being tried in the form of vaude-
Vile acts.
Last week a dog and pony show
| was the attraction. The erformance
made a hit. This week Colby and
Way presented double barreled VEN
triloquist and Giving doll" sketch.
A feature Of the act Of the "living
doll,' whost raiment was rather brief,
was a skirt dance
A number of the rock-ribbed Pres
byterians who had not objected to the
ponies kicking up their heels took ex-
ception to a similar course of action
on the part Of the "living doll,' who,
when the curtain is down, is Mrs
Way.
DR.. Dickey, head of Winona, most
Of the directors, a number of minis
tiers visiting there, and practically
all the young men ON the grounds
were on hand for the first perform
ance. The word had been passed
around that there mi ht be a "prun-
ing' after the first performance, and
all the young men Git is not known
about the directors and ministers)
were anxious to see the original pro-
duction.
The expected pruning took place,
DR.. Dickey witnessing the first per-
Torrance and then ordering the dance
by Mrs. Way cut out.
The order has resulted in some Of
the hveliest discussion Of the season.
Many Of those who saw the first per-
Torrance declare that the actors
should not have been allowed to to
continue through the week. Most Of
those who did not get to see the first
show are bowling against the censor
ship.

laced individuals who had taken Of
