Creeping Salt.

Here Is something in the course of
natural phenomena that will interest
and instruct the little folk IL they look
into it curiously: Into a tumbler half
full of water dissolve just as much
common table salt as can be held in So
luton Let it stand for a few days
and see how the salt creeps out of the
water, up the inside of the glass and
down the outside-just like thing of
life trying to escape from its environ
ment. And when all the salt Is ap-
parently out of prison the water re-
mains as saltysas before, 1t is pretty

The duration of the morning bath
should be as short as possible
hardly longer than the mere applica-

by a brisk rubbing.
However, many prefer a cool
sponge bath in the morning, and if
this is followed by a warm glow and
a feeling of we'll being, it certainly is
beneficent.
Many people are not strong
enough to react we'll.
A hot bath at night is most cleans

A SIDERABLE BALLOON.
ia Vile de Paris Has Many Novel
Features.

NJ. Ed. Sure0uf, the well known
aeronaut, Is the constructor of the
new French Siderable balloon which
bears the title of La Vile de Paris,
says the Automobile. It's distinguish
ing feature Is a series of eight COM
p~ensating balloons at the stern, plac-
ed In pairs above, below and on each
side. Pure hydrogen is used for in
iating. Avery long platform is used
being only a little shorter than the
main beam. At the forward end is
a propeller droven by a 20 horse
power Argus motor-of German con-
Notwithstanding at 500 %revolu-
lions a minute; the propeller re-
wolves at $50 revolutions. A Mors
automatic starter Is attached to the
motor and Is placed on a platform
Immediately behind the engine. In
addition there Is a small De Dion mo-
tor for use in case of emergency. The
double rudder carried at the rear
consists of a light framework cover
ed with canvas, and controls the up
ward and downward movement as
well as right and left turns. Enough
gasoline Is carried In two tanks to
suffice for a fourteen hours journey.
The balloon portion of the machine
Is admirably constructed, and in the
opinion of experts Is n of the finest
pieces of balloon work ever see in
France. The mechanical portion, on
the other hand, is very much open
to criticism. Far too much dead
weight Is carried; no attempt appears
to have been made to secur a saw
ing in engine weight. With Its two
motors, its starting apparatus, its
the necessary tools and fittings car
ried on the platform, there is a ire
mendous load for the balloon to carry
through the air.

Napoleon the Great on one Of his
campaigns while walking about the
camp one night. as he was accustomed
to do to discover how the soldiers were
occupied, chanced to come upon a
group listening to an excited speaker.
Napoleon stole near to listen and found
that the man was regaling his com
rades with an account Of battles that
Napoleon had lost
II had the fellow hanged as a trail
tor" Napoleon said. "Men do not win
battles by the memory Of battles lostg'
It was perfectly true. A distinguish
ed military officer affirmed that after
troops had been beaten in battle It
took weeks to get them to fire as well
as they had done before. Bad success
demoralizes them. If one is continually
looking back at the things one has
missed in life one loses the power to
grip what is yet within reach of ones
hands.-London Spectator.

''lfany gallons, probably many bar
rels, 0f water are drawn through the
gills of each oyster each day." writes
university professor "and the micro
scopic beings that Il may hold are
strained out and pushed along into the
oysters mouth. Each microscopic or
ganism is long time In travelling from
the point where it first touches the gill
to the oysters stomach; all this while it
is alive and capable of becoming the
parent Of new generations when re-
moved from the gill and placed under
suitable conditions. Most of these or
ganisms are wholesome to man, and all
that enter the oysters stomach are
quickly killed and converted into its
palatable and nutritious substance, but
so long as they are travelling along the
gills all are alive and, some are ex-
tremely dangerous to man. The oyster
exercises choice in the selection of its
food, rejecting some Of the microscopic
organisms and swallowing others, but
those that are discharged into the wa
ter with the sewage of cities are not
unfortunately among the ones that are
rejected, and before these have entered
the oysters stomach they are most ia
vorabIy placed for gaining entrance
into human stomachs and multiplying
there"

Fight on In Washington for Location
of Court Town.

Washington, Feb. ga dele
gation from the Indian Territory
is here to watch action on the
statehood bill in regard to the
designation of court towns. In
the House the town of Vinita was
named as one of the places for
holding court. This was stricken
out by the Senate committee. 1t
is explained that this action was
by no prejudice against Vinita,
but in order to throw the dispute
between Vinita and Tulsa into
conference between the two
houses when the bill is passed, in
order to decide the dispute on its
merits.

"Ths is an antimacassar," said an
antiquary. 1T is a hundred years old
and very valuable on account Of the
quaint designs of its embroidery. Some
day shall sell it to a millionaire. Yes,
some day this antimacassar will adorn
a millionalres parlor, figuring there as
an antique object of art, and that will
be as though spittoon of today should
figure as an object of art in some aes-
thetic lady's drawing room III 5000"
He laid the antimacassar, kind Of
tidy, in a sandalwood box. Then he
went on:
"The words derivation shows the
things use - anti, against; macassar,
hair OIL The antimacassar was spread
on chair backs to protect them from
the oil In peoples hair. Everybody
used Rowlands macassar oil on his
locks In those days. The name given
to the tidy, or chair shield, was free
advertisement for Rowland as excel
lent as it was unique"

FishskIn Lanterns.


The puffer or swell fish has the power
to distend itself with air into the shape
of a globe. Japanese living in the Ha-
waiian Islands make OF the skin of the
big puffer found in Hawaiian waters
an odd and grotesque lantern. When
the skin of the big puffer has been first
removed while it is still soft it Is stuff
ed out to its full size in globe shape
and so left to dry. The skin is not
much thicker than paper and translu-
cent brown on the upper part and gray
below. The fins are preserved and dried
sticking out from the fish, the tail be-
ing perlIed up at an angle. A circular
opening is made in the back, through
which the light can be placed and in
which is set horizontally hoop or rim
by which the lantern can be suspended.
Such a lantern made of big puffers
skin may be foot in diameter cross
wise and fifteen inches in length, and
what with the head of the fish appear
ing at one end and the perked up tail
at the other and the fins projecting at
the sides this fish skin lantern makes a
very curious object.-New York Her
