ity jump from one piece of tin-foil to
the other. In other words, the friction
made by the rubbing has turned the
lamp-chimney into an electrical ma
chine.
Another pretty experiment may be
made with this little device. Wrap a
piece Of iron or brass wire around the
middle band Of tin-foil, letting one end
hang down five or six inches. To this
end attach several strips of cigarette
paper in bunch. Now put the brush
into the chimney at the opposite end
to that used at first and rub it briskly.
The electricity thus generated will 60
into the strips Of paper, and make them
stand out from each other as If they
were alive and were struggling to get
as far apart as possible.
If the paper be cut to form two cats
The result will be very amusing.
These experiments are best made in
perfectly dry weather. and 1t is we'll,
also, to warm both chimney and hand
kerchief at the fire.

The electrified Lamp Chimney.

The Electrified Lamp Chimney.
A very simple but beautiful expert
ment may be made by any bright boy
with straight lamp-chimney, the kind
used with the Argand or the Welsbach
gas-light. First, cut narrow strip OF
tin-foil and paste it around the Chin
ney, in the middle. Then paste strip
Of the same from one end of the chin
ney to within about half an inch Of the
band In the middle.
Now take bristle brush, the kind
made to clean lamp-chimneys with, and
over its bristles wrap a perfectly dry
silk handkerchief. Hold the chimney
In your left hand so that your fingers
do not touch the tin-foil anywhere, and
putting the silk covered brush into the
chimney, rub it briskly back and forth.
This part of the experiment should
be made in the dark, and IL, while rub
bling the chimney, you take the brush
out now and then, you will see, every
time you do SO, big spark of electric

MARRIED THE WRONG MEN.

Two Queer Instances Where Women
Wed Their Lovers Doubles.
A strange case Of matrimonial fraud
has lately occurred in Vienna. A wo-
man Of the lower middle class married.
a man whom she took to be a Herr
Weiss, her fance, returning after
years absence in America to make her
his wife. In less than a month he
robbed her Of her savings and then sud.

A month later she received a letter
from America regretting that the writer
had been too Ill to return at the time

to sail and that Immediately on his
arrival would fulfill the promise by
leading her to the altar. The Letter was
signed Hermann Weiss"

Hermann Weiss had while In America
foregathered with his double, who had
ascertained sufficient of the formers
history and prospects to enable him to
carry out with success his base scheme
OF deception and heartless robbery.
When Claude Bonnat, baker of
Marseilles, was in hiding from the
police, who held warrant for his ar.

Ne Doages Church and Devices
MsR Ttme to 0dd Jobs.
The church Of the future h b be

Ing from the womeh's colleges" said
the dean Of woman's college, accord.
Ing to the New York Press, 'fsr 1t 10
only by the strictest discipline that
we can induce the girls to attend
church. They have all sorts Of ex-
cuses why they should not attend d.
vine worship and it's wonderful how
many headaches develop Sunday morn
ng. Almost every woman's college
demands church record from every
student and it is only by keeping them
under our thumbs in this way that We
can be sure Of their ever hearing a ser
mon during their college course. The
college maiden's disinclination to
church worship is not due to an ire
ligious spirit, but it's because she
wants the day absolutely to herself to
rest, to dream, to write. letters home,
to do the thousand and one things for
which there is little time on recita-
ten days.
"Many girls look forward to Sunday
as the day when they may indulge In
the luxury of late rising. They won't
get up until 8 or $50, and then they
get a chatting dish breakfast in their
rooms. They say it rests them per-
fectly and puts them in the proper con-
dition for the rush and grind which be-
gins the next day. There are rumors
that some of the students take Sunday
as mending day and, of course, such
q practice would be stopped at once IL
We only had nctaal proofs of it; but
such proofs are difficult to get. Some
times it looks suspicious If a skirt
binding which has been ripped all the
week appears nicely sewed on Monday
morning, but there is no reason why
the sewing might not have been dons
Saturday afternoon or evening.
Sunday the girls like to forget that
they are in college and become merely
the eternal feminine. They lay in
stock Of good things on Saturday and
invite two or three friends in to take
supper with them Sunday evening.
They wash out their handkerchiefs
and stocks and clean their gloves.
They get spots out of their skirts and
straighten out their bureau drawers.
They rearrange the furniture in their
rooms SO that 1t will look less monoto-
nous. They go to call on some Of the
town people, They revei in kimono
in the morning, because, they say, they
are obliged to get into togs' every 9TH
er day in the week. They read popu-
lar fiction Of the day and discuss the
marriage question.
Sometimes they take long walks,
but these walks are always attended
by Sunday decorum and there is never
any junketing Sunday. They seem to
appreciate more the beauties of ma
ture on that day and think less abont
autumn leaves making a gorgeous
decoration for the sophomore dance
or about the perfectly grand fried
chicken and cream potatoes that are
served at some of the weather-beaten
old farm houses.
Sunday the college girl gives hee
domestic instincts free rein, but shs
won't go to church If she can possibly
help II"
