In his greeting when she entered the

"You are more than prompt, Mr..

81 have something to say to you, to
ask you, Jessie. Are we likely to be
disturbed here?"
81 think not. What weighty secret
have you to disclose, Mr.. Morris
Pray be seated"
The great house was silent, and the
yellow light of the setting sun flooded
the room. Jessie was superb as she
calmly awaited the declaration her in
tuition told her was forthcoming. She
could not find in her heart the slight
est feeling Of pity or sympathy for
Arthur Morris.
81 have waited years for this mo-

The governor-dear old governor

have me, Jessie!"
He had not forgotten the peroration
of his carefully prepared and oft-re-
hearsed proposal and concluded by
dropping clumsily to his knees. There
was more of demand than of plead
ing in his manner.
Jessie Gardens eyes flashed as she
looked down upon him.
Arise, Mr.. Morris, and make an
end to this scene!" she said, as she
instinctively drew away from him. 81

this answer as final"
Her voice was low, but firm, and
the dark eyes held no CLEAN of hope.

"You told me to wait two years for

claimed, harshly. This is strange

Miss Carden?"
Jessie yielded to this miserable en-
treaty, and a moment later General
Garden entered the room and relieved
an awkward situation. Jessie took
small part in the conversation as the
carriage rolled down the avenue, but
Morris chatted gaily with Edith Han
cock. He secretly nursed his anger,
but Jessie noticed that he studiously
ignored General Garden.

New Flying Machine Like Bird.

To fly if not to flee ike a bird
to the mountains" and elsewhere is
the ambition of two Englishmen who
have perfected flying machine built
upon the principles of birds wing
and body. The wings are at present
arranged to flap 100 times a minute,
which is of course considerably less
than proportionately corresponding
to the increased horsepower.
The machine has been suspended
from a tree bough and the wings
f1apper under power. The results are
most promising. At each down stroke
the whole machine, apart from the
carriage, weighing 232 pounds, is lift
ed bodily into the air ana forwards.
1t rises about two feet each stroke.
1t looks just like a gigantic bird try
ing to fly under similar conditions.
At the preliminary trial, already
made, it would appear that the wings
are capable of evoking a resistance
of about 100 pounds each, and the ma
chine is raised about two feet each
stroke There are grounds for belieV-
ing that a feathered wing made of a
number of units can exert a greater
resistance than a simple wing; such
as that of the insect or bat type, or
the various simple mechanical wings
which have been hitherto used in
wing Tapping machines.

Electricity from Water Power.

The utilization of water power for
the creation of electric energy has in
creased to an extraordinary degree in
recent years, although it is to be
noted that the power so far used is
only an infnitesimal fraction of the
aggregate water power of the world.
The amount of water power utiliz.
ed has been estimated to be 1900, 900
horse power in round numbers. The
United States uses the largest
amount, mainly on account of the
employment of the power of Niagara
Falls, which also secures second place
to Canada. In round numbers in the
United States about $4,000 horse
power; in Canada, 100000; in Italy,
about 100000; in France, 100 1000; in
Switzerland, $4,000; in Germany, ST.
000 in Sweden, 1900, and in other
countries lesser amounts. AS these
statistics are undoubtedly incomplete,
the aggregate water power utilized
for electric energy in the world Is
probably 100000 horse power, which
is about twice the steam power used
in England and Ireland combined.

interchangeable Razor Blade.

The number of devices which have
been recently introduced for the con-
venience of the man who wants to
shave himself is almost without end,
and it would seem many things of
this character must certainly put
some of the barber establishments out
of business but the latter seem to go
on increasing just the same. 1t often
happens that a man is perfectly able
to shave himself in very satisfactory
manner, but his difficulty may be in
keeping the razor in proper condition,
and if he is compelled to run to the
BARRIERS or cutters shop with the in
strument every few weeks there is no
advantage in the possession of the
skill necessary to amputate the whisk.

K c BAKING POWDER.
The Best Example of What a Pure
Baking Powder Should Be In Quail
ity and Price.

A popular and efficient baking powder re-
quires two things-frst, that the food made
with it shall be absolutely wholesome
second that It shall be sold at a reasonable
price.
In talking about the healthfulness Of
baking powder, it must be remembered
that baking powder is not an article Of diet
any more than compressed yeast. One
would be quite as Objectionable for food as
the other. except that Of the two, TIE bak-
ing powder might be preferable
We do not eat either baking powder or
yeast. What we do eat is the biscuit and
bread raised with them. When placed upon
the table no yeast remains in the bread and
no baking powder in the biscuit Both
leavening agents have been destroyed In
the aeration and the baking; otherwise, in
stead Of hght bread and bise5ait we should
have a mass of heavy, hard-baked dough
One well-known brand, X G Baking
Powder, is sold under a 5000 guarantee
OF its healthfulness and purity. There can

With regard TO price, a baking powder as
efficient and wholesome as Is possible TO
make can be sold, at affair profit, for one
cent an OGnce. If it costs more the price is
