To obtain the best results from briar
pipe and increase the pleasure of
smoking, the following hints will be
found of value: Fill the pipe we'll,
light the tobacco evenly and smoke
slowly. This will avoid excessive heating
of the wood and will prevent it from
burning. See that the tobacco is entire
ly consumed, so that the cake may form
all over the inside of the bowl.
Do not fill new pipe until it has
cooled off. Remove the cake which forms
inside the bowl frequently, as if cake is
allowed to become too thick it will split
the bowl, because when heated the cake
expands more rapidly than the wood.
When the cake has been scraped away
the same care should be taken as with
a new pipe. Always keep your pipe
clean; this will prevent it from getting
strong. Best of all, keep several pipes
in use and change frequently.
1t is no easy task to give direction
every meerschaum pipe. Much depends
on the quality of the material. as also on
the care exercised by the smoker. We
would advise-Always to smoke slowly.
To use a meerschaum button. To allow
the pipe to cool before refilling To
keep the hands away from the bowl
while it is hot. To use top bowl if the
smoker desires to color the pipe to the
top. To avoid smoking the pipe out of
doors in rainy or extremely cold wealth
er. To unscrew the mouthpiece only
when necessary: that is, when the pipe
is clogged and needs cleaning. To use
a knife with a rounded edge when it
becomes necessary to remove the cak-
ing in the bowl. If cake is allowed to
become too thick, it may expand and
crack the bowl.

Photography Without Light.

A process for producing photographs
without the aid of light, named Photo
tegy'' was recently discovered in France
by DR.. Anderson and Mr.. Houzel and
bids fair to revolutionize photography.
Negatives after being developed, are
washed and immersed in a strong solu-
ton of peroxide of hydrogen which both
dissolves the gelatine on the plate in
proportion to the light action thereon,
and strips the same from the glass, at
the same time the image gradually grow
ing paler When the process is complet-
ed the film is washed and immersed IN
a solution of a suitable dye which is
taken up by the gelatine in direct proper
ton to the light action, forming at once
a colored relief in gelatine which results
in positive picture by transmitted light.
From this positive film duplicate copies
may be made by simply pressing paper
against the same which absorbs the dye
in the film in turn resulting in print
ANY number of copies may be easily
made in any desired color by simple con-
tact without light.
The process is especially valuable in
three color photography true color re-
productions being obtained in one tenth
of the time usually required for this
work

Books as Holiday Gifts

One of the best gifts possible to con-
fer on any child, boy or girl, is taste
for good reading. But it is worth while
to remember that such a taste is not to
be given or received readymade, like
toy on a Christmas tree. 1t can only
be given, so to speak, in embryo, and
then all fostering influences must be in
voked to keep it growing.
One of the best of these is the per-
sonal ownership of books. No public
library ever takes the place of ones own
well-thumbed volumes Books that open
soon grow dear. 1t is on this account
that the first books owned by the tiny
boy or girl are easily chief among
formative influences. That mother is
wise who sees her opportunity in this
line and uses it.
In some bookish children this early
love for ones own books becomes al

Air in Tablet Form.

A firm of London manufacturers of
diving apparatus profess to have dis
covered a method of supplying pure
oxygen as easily as making a cup of
tea with equal safety. They are
manufacturing a new substance which
they call oxylith. which may be de-
scribed as oxygen in its LATENT state. 1t
can be turned into gas containing fully
9S per cent. of oxygen by the action OF
water. just as acetylene gas is produced
from calcium carbide. =,
1t is supplied in tablets at small
nrice and is said to be accomplish sub
stitute for compressed oxygen in heavy
steel cylinders. 1t is particularly useful
in supplying fresh air to submarine
boats. the needs of which have led to its
production.

on the charge of conspiracy to- raise

mercy OF the court A plea of this
character is virtually an admission
of guilt, but carries with it the ex.
cuse that the offender had no inten-
ton to break the law and had no
knowledge that an offense was being
committed. Before entering the plea
counsel for the ice men announced to
the court that the Philadelphia Ice
Exchange, through which it was al
legged, the price of ice was fixed, had
been dissolved.

his death at Vailima, in 1894, his re.
mains were carried to the top of this
precipitous and picturesque peak by
sixty sturdy Samoans, who had loved
and now mourned their dead chief,
Tusitula. A party Of forty had pre-
viously cut a pathway through the
thick, tangled wood with knives and
axes, while another party had pre-
pared the grave. With infinite care
and trouble they bore him shoulder
high over the rough ground to his last
long home, and there, under the starry
sky, they left him to sleep forever, with
the Pacific at his feet. On either side
Of his tombstone Is a bronze plate.
One bears the words, ''The Tomb Of
