THE ACTS.

The French people adore the play,
says Mrs. John Van Worst. A night
at the theatre for them Is not the
mere passing of In evening. 1t is an
Intellectual, an artistic event, a feast
of criticism. Hence the entire acte,
the weary, in~terminable, bugbear Pa.
risian entire acte which lasts longer
than the act itself. Between the 60
ing down and the coming up of the
curtain, which latter cannot be toe
rapid for Americans, the French want
to talk, to discuss and anticipate
to analyze the rendering of roles
to hobnob in the foyer, to make con.
versation.' The actors and the au.
thors cherish the sacred moments be.
tween the acts. They consider then
as their share of the performance
their opportunity. To the wall, they
say, with health boards and tired at.
PENDANTS who do not care to talk, the
entire acte shall remain.

MIpRoYED FIRE EsCAPE.

The most practical and useful fire
escape in existence is the chain and
long rope, which can be instantly
thrown out of the window. Practi-
cally the only fault to be found in
this apparatus is the probability of
the rope becoming twisted and dis
arranged, as it is liable to do while
living on the floor when not in use.
When needed in an emergency, valu-
able time is always lost in straight
ening the rope out.
A wide awake inventor has solved
this difficulty by providing a case in
which the line can hes tored when
not in use. The case is in the form
of a circular box, having an opening
in the centre. The rope is wrapped
within this case. When needed the
case is thrown out Of the window,
the rope unwinding automatically.
The other end of the rope i~s-secured
to an iron chain, the latter being per-
manently attached to a stationary
hook in the interior of the building.

The Art of Introduction.

There are few people who have NO
suffered at one time or another by
the off-hand name in which they
| were introduced to others.
This kind of introduction il likely
to embarrass some people, just as the
careful and gracious introduction is
one of the essentials in putting stran-
gers at ease.
In introducing people the Creates
care should be taken 10 pronounce
both names distinctly.
If one name has escaped the intro
ducer's memory, it Is safest and best
to excuse oneself and ask for the for
gotten name.
The most delicate sensibillties
should not be wounded by such a slip
of memory, for who is there who has
not at some time or another quite
forgotten a well known name?
The d%ebatable question as to whe-
ther a woman should shake hands
with a man who is being pl scented TO
her has been solved by making it on
ly obligatory for the woman to offer
her hand TO the man when the occa-
sion is Informal aad the man is being
introduced 10 II pn.Uu at a time.
When he is meeting a group of
people it makes ii embarrassing aud
awkward TO shake hands with all.

FLOATING

Some time ago an oyster breeder
IN M~orbihan, named MARITIME, called
the attention of the Academy des Sci
ences to the appearance of unknown
lagae that threatened TO ruin the oy-
ster beds established at the mouth OF
the River Vannes. These algae
(Which he breeders called balloons
balloons) assume the form of little
brownish-green leather bottles, or
wine skins, which stick to the oy-
sters. and which, microscopic at the
start, very soon reach the size of a
very large hens egg. Formed of q
| very thin, elastic and rather frail
coat, these bottles, usually full OF
1 water, fall in upon themselves at the
moment of low tide. They become
empty then by the rents in their x
terror; but, in virtue of their elastic
ity, they fill up again with air. At
the return Of the tide they thus form
a float more than sufficient to raise
up the oyster that serves them as
support. Therefore, at each great
tide, when the beds are wholly I'M
covered, the oysters are seen to dis
appear in the offing upon this auto
mobile alga.
According to NJ. Bornet, says the
Scientific American, we here have to
do with the colpomenia sinuosa, vefy
frequent in all warm seas, Astounding
notably in the Mediterranean and in
the tracts adjacent to the Atlantic. =

Cadiz, at the beginning of the last
century, and has never been seen far
Their north. 1t no doubt came upon
the hull of a vessel, and having found
in the Gulf of Morbihan a suitable
water, it multiplied there. Hitherto
no other effective means has been
found of combating this alga than
to sweep the beds with prickly fagots.
1t is to be hoped that a rigorous win
ter will be sufficient to cause it to
disappear.

EXPERIMENTING LoCUsTs.

The interesting manne in which
the island of Cyprus got rid of the
hordes of locusts that, until a com
paratively recent period, devastated
it, is described by an official of the
department of agriculture.
Locusts march across country.
leaping and flying in swarms of hun
dreds of millions, destroying every
green thing in their path. Noticing
that the insects could not retain u
foothold on a smooth surface, a
French scientist, to whom the task
of doing away with the pests was
entrusted, tried the effect of placing
screens of canvas stretched upon
stakes and bordered at the top with
a band of vanished leather in the
path of the advancing host. In front
of the line of screen pits were dug,
into which the locusts fell when they
attempted to surmount the screens
The upper part of the pits was lined
with smooth zinc.
The imprisoned insects, unable to
climb upon the zinc, and pressed
back by the thousands of fresh vic
Tins continually falling into the pit,
we're easily destroyed. This system
was adopted throughout the island
and the locusts were practically ex-
terminated.

SYSTE M
Investigation to Be Made by Com
mittee of the Washington.

WASHINGTON, N. j., Nov. e.
The common council held the regu-
lar monthly meeting on the eve of
election, but not much important bus
mess was transacted. Mayor Smith
announced that the board of health
had appointed DR.. G. M. Williams
and DR.. f. P. McKinsley to act on
the committee to investigate sewer
age systems, now that the state wv
erage commission has ordered all
towns to stop polluting the Delaware
river or any streams hat are tribu-
tary to the river. The council ad-
vised the mayor to also act on the
committee, and to appoint two of the
members of the council and two resi-
dents, making a committee of seven.
Owing to the absence of Council
men Croft and Snyder no action was
taken on the proposition to install a
fire alarm system, but final action was
adjourned to November 10. The or
dinance committee was instructed to
have an ordinance drawn that would
stand the test and by which residents
could be prevented from throwing
ashes and rubbish in the streets and
also remove ash barrels from the
business centre. There was consid-
cradle discussion over the abuse of
the charity of the borough. 1t is a
custom of several men to stop work
in the fall and depend upon the bor-
ough to keep their families during the
winter.

KILL BY CARLOAD.
Swift & Co., Want to Guild a Hog
Abattoir in Jersey City.

JERSEY CITY, Nov. 6:-Jersey
City may deprive Newark of the
pleasure of having the noise and
smells of a large hog abattoir that
Swift & Company, the pig packers,
want to erect in either city. A Mr..
Pratt, representing the company, APP
peared before the Jersey City Board
of Health and asked if the board
would favor the granting of a permit
for the erection of a siX-story build
ing, 100x100, at Tenth and Hender-
SOL streets to replace a row OF tene-
ments there. He said that the COM
pany had not decided whether Jersey
City or Newark should be honored
with the industry, but that President
Swift liked Jersey City.
DR.. Frederick E. Lambert, of the
board, stated that no official action
could be taken until plans were laid
before the board, which would insist
on a sanitary plant. The board oblig-
ingly tried to keep the abbatoir out
of Newark by agreeing that it would
give a permit if the residents of that
| section of the city where it is pro.
posed to erect the plant did not OBJ
ject, and the building would meet all
sanitary requirements. Mr.. Pratt said
the building would be of iron and
brick, and employ $50 hands, and
slaughter 1900 to 500 hogs daily.
The porkers will be transported
from cars on the Erie railroad that
will enter the plant to the top floor of
the building by means of elevators
that will carry up a carload of hogs
at a time. Mr.. Pratt alleged that this
will do away with the noises as the
hogs are noisy only when forced to
walk or run up inclines. The killing
will be done on the sixth floor. A
tower with a large town clock on ii
was an inducement held out by Mr..
Pratt, What the Horseshoe section
will think of the proposition to locate
a hog abattoir in it remains to BE-
heard.

RICH SIBERIA CROPS.

Though the name of Siberia is still
popularity accepted as a synonym for
al that is Attic and sterile, says The
London Globe, it is becoming clearer
every year that few regions of the
earth are. more capable of producing
immense stores of human food. This
year, in particular, when the crops
over much of European Russia have
failed, the richness of the Siberian
lands has ben extremely conspicuous
and there is surplus product in vast
abundance. the only difficulty being
the inadequate means of transport.
With a virgin soil and a far more
active and Independent Russian popu-
lation than is to be found in most
parts of Russia itself, there is nc
doubt that a great agricultural fu-
ture should await this enormous re-
gion.

FOILS WHITE ANTS.

Natural historians have so much
to say about ants of all colors, their
habitations, their t~ireless activity and
their battles with one another, that
the constant war waged by one
branch of the dace against mankind
seems likely to be overlooked. Yet
white ants, or termites, will attack
within their reach, ranging from do
nestle timber to railroad sleepers. To
counteract the destructive work of
these restless little enemies of human
progress a new process has been ex-
plotted by the Powell Wood Process
Syndicate, of London, England,
which is now triumphantly exhibit
ing a piece of confirmatory Evidence
of a very conclusive character.
Two pieces of ordinary yellow deal

some morsel which no healthy mind
ed white ant with an eye for physical
culture would refuse-were the sub
iect of a very interesting experiment
One piece was treated in London by
this new process, and was afterward
bolted to the other, which was lief.
in it's natural condition. Thus Joined
the two pieces of deal were forward
ed to the curator of the government
botanical gardens, at Singapore, and
were laid by him-still bolted to-
gether-in a place where white ants
were known to congregate in count
less numbers.
In a short time the untreated por-
zion of the compound block was al
most demolished, while the deal that
had been subjected to the e pro
cess remained untouched. They were
both returned to London before tho
former had quite disappeared, and
they form a splendid testimonial TO
the efficiency of the protective pro-
cess, and an object lesson for the
study of combative termites. The
solution with which the wood is treat
ed is said to be absolutely odorless
and quite understandable from every
point of view-exeept, of course, that
of the white ant.
