BY the use of weights the bag can
be made to raise just half pound less
than the weight of the occupant. Then

oars Anyone who understands how
to row can operate the aerial rowboat
So far no experienced aeronaut has

eral hundred people have tried their
hand at rowing up and down the park
where the machine Is being tested.
The bag is 81 feet long and Is feet

$500 cubic feet of gas is SUFFICIENT.
One of the features of the new air.

from four to six miles an hour has been

rather against the wind in this case.

Automatically

Recently-compiled statistics show
that the loss of life, and also the num-
Der OF persons injured, through COL
lisions on railroads, Is greater in CON-
parison than from any other cause.
The desire of the officials Of the larger
railroad lines to establish records for
high speed, whether for long or short
distances, 10 primarily the cause Of
these accidents and the consequent loss
of life. Safety is sacrificed for speed,
as the breaking of 4 record means q
good advertisement for that particular
road. OF course, oil railroads have

japan leads the world in the econom-

fisheries. 1t has more persons engaged
in this industry, says Dr. H. M. Smith,
than any other nation. Sharks are
among the commonest food fishes of
Japan. They are sent to the markets to
be "butchered" like beeves in other
countries. The extent of the Japanese
fisheries may be judged from the size
Of some of the nets employed by the
fishermen. DR.. Smith tells, In the Ma
tional Geographic Magazine, of net
employed for catching yellowtails,
which was more than a mile long. It
had bag 900 feet long, $50 feet wide at
its mouth, and 125 feet deep On one &C.

the girl whose latest fad xas eooktng.
ii caused much merriment, as each
girl found herself. -

Another up-to-date hostess evolved
an unusual way Of having her guests
find their partners at an informal ers-
ming affair. 80.
The company was q large one and
she desired to mingle the guests "a
much as possible, So she gave each
man & paper and pencil. introduced
him to lady, telling him to talk with
her for five minutes and then write
minute description of her gown, gen.
eral appearance. hair, etc., etc.
After ten minutes the papers wers
collected. At refreshment time these
slips were scattered promiscuous)y
among the men and they we're asked
TO find tho lady who answered to the
description on their paper and take
her t. supper.
Here is q description of table ar.
ranged for birthday party of ten
year-old girl. It was so beautifully
simple in design and detail that any
mother could carry out the scheme
with very little trouble or expense.
The guests were "a in number.
To save table linen, as it was In the
country, and laundry work at a pre-
MUM, the table was set with pink
crepe tissue paper mats. The cake,
which was the center of attraction,
was a large angels food. iced With
white and decorated with candied
cherries and spikes of citron. Around
the cake was a barrel hoop, wound
with pink paper and ferns. In this
hoop pink candles were stuck. The
holders can be pasteboard with sharp
lacks in the end, such Is are used on
Christmas trees. There were just as
many candles as the hoop would hold:
they represented "the years to come"
On q small hoop right close up to the
cake we're ten pink candles. while
right in the middle Of the cake was
one tall candle, "the year to grow on. y
Bowls of flowers were at the four cor
ners Of the table, with plates Of chick
en- sandwiches, sailed almonds, lemon
ade with cherries in it, and tall glasses
filled with plain vanilla ice cream. The
cream had Q tablespoonful OF whipped
ream on top, capped by Marasch1no
cherry. Paper napkins were used and
Swapping" caps, so dear to childish
hearts, were the favors.

Ten minutes Of perfect relaxation

resting with tense muscles. Many q
woman has been heard to say after
arising from her siesta that she feels
more tired than before. 1t is not to
be wondered at, TO- her muscles were
unrelaxed and her brain much dis.

Of mind and body. Let the bed, couch
or chair bear the whole weight of the
body. Imagine that you have not thu
power to lift limb. Loosen all ten.

specific rules to cover any possible
chance of accident, but to break rec
ords and arrive at the destination on
schedule time it often devolves upon
the engineer to overlook a danger
signal purposely and take the chance Of
coming out safely. A New York man,
says the Louisville Courier-Journal,
has invented an appliance for railroads
which was designed especially to pre-
vent accidents from negligence Of this
kind. It consists of q signal apparatus
having a lever, much smaller, but sim
liar to an ordinary railroad signal.
When this signal is set as in the usual
manner the lever comes in contact and
operates an extension on the top Of the
cab of the locomotive, this extension
when SO released throwing on the air
brakes and stopping the train automat-
ically. In this way there would be no
danger of a train going past or the en-
gineer disregarding the danger signal
when it is set against him.

Some Humorous Lines on tho Remark

Abiding to . recent article by Sir
Oliver Lodge, in which the writer
gives it ~ his opinion that 1.-The more
brains one has,. the less teeth one has
unless they are artifcially pro"
vided," . writer in the Westminster
Gazette is stimulated to break out into
verse as follows:
belinda dear, once on a time.
Ny best beloved Of pretty girls,
It was my wont to turn rhyme
And say your mouth was full Of pearls
"In blissful ignorance OF yore
1 thought my compliment but truthful;
But knowledge grows from more to more
Only the brainless now are toothfLl.

Have out the pearls which now fear,
Are merely teeth to nrove YOU hrajnlAas."

6ence, no matter how we'll otherwise
the forgery may have been executed.
The most painstaking forgeries are
the most apparent when viewed
through the microscope. In tracing
the additions the pen has been lifted
many times, perhaps; or the words
or signature have been first traced III
with a pencil, and these things pro
claim themselves by imperfections
that may not be doubted.
For work of that nature a 1-6 in.
is a sufficiently high power. A good
sub-stage illumination by means OF a
condenser is required. however, and
opaque objects must be illuminated by
means Of Z bull's-eye or in some other
way.
