Hot Air Makes Them Cool

According to a writer in Harper's
Weekly, there is a great demand
throughout India, as well as in other
tropical countries, for some sort of
fan that will distribute a great deal
Of cool air at a low cost of production.
A German firm has recently intro
duced in Bombay aportable fan which
is operated at about one-fffth the cost
of electric fans. The fan is propelled
by a hot-air engine, the heat being
generated by a kerosene lamp which
holds about one quart of oil, sufficient
to keep it running for twenty-four
hours. To the lamp is attached a
small glass chimney which fits into a
larger metal chimney connected with
the engine. Upon the top of the en-

and size to the ordinary electric fan.

The Rise OF a Fainter.

Only painters looked long at the
picture which Eugene Carriere exhib-
tied at the Salon of 1877, and for a
dozen years afterward, while his por-
traits and his studies of children and
women steadily gained in distinctive
character, they puzzled and repealed
the unwary. Their merging varied
colors in a single tone, their dissolv-
ing of sharp contours in smoke-hued
mist, suggested either insincerity or
myopic vision. Yet little by little Car
riere impressed, first a few artists and
critics, then a part of the public, then
even the ministry of fine arts. In
1883 he was decorated. and in the
next year, when his paintings were
seen at the then new Salon du Champ
Mars, isolated in a single group, Car
riere began to be more widely under
stood. His fervid sincerity, reverber-
ating, as it were, from picture to pic
ture, destroyed all suspicion of pose,
and as his technique grew familiar,
the sculpturesque solidityof his heads
and figures appeared through that
mist, in proof of his genius of eye and
hand.-From Henry Copley Greene's
Eugene Carriere," in the Century.

Funny Things in Print.

Errors which sometimes creep into
the daily papers cause considerable
merriment. Nearly every one has
read of the reporter who described
a shooting affair as follows: 1.-THE
man was shot once in the left breast
and twice in the barber shop" Also
the brief story that "the Chinaman
fell and broke his leg just below the
opium joint"
One of the most famous mistakes
that v e got into a metropolitan
paper was in Chicago in connection
with a fire, when a number Of persons
were rescued.
The fire occurred late at night.
The night city editor who handled"
the story marked the copy when it
went to the printer with directions
to send him proofs SO that he could
make certain there we're no errors.
Here is the way the story appeared
in the paper:

the window, flames bursting about
her head, her hair d%isheveled and
with wild ayes shrieked:

The Value of New Blood.

All that the New Englanders could
bring over from Great Britain was a
British standard, and if the American
standard now differs from the British
standard, this must be due, more or
less, to the pressure exerted in Amer
lea by a contribution other than Eng
lish. If we to-day prefer, as we do
undoubtedly, the existing American
standards and ideals and tendencies
to the British standards and ideals
and tendencies, we must recognize the
various foreign elements in the Uni
ted States as having exerted an infu-
ence satisfactory to us now, however
much our forefathers may once have
dreaded it. We must recognize that
the commingling of stocks which has
been going on here in the past has
been beneficial-or at least that its
results are acceptable to us at present.
And in all probability our children
will admit also that the commingling
that is going on in the present, and
which will go on in the future, is like
ly also to be beneficial or at least ac-
ceptable.-From Brander Matthews
"The American of the Future" in the
Century.

PROSPERITY NOT HALTED
Chicago Bank Reports Remark.
able Assurances of Good Times.
Overwhelming Preponderance of Evil
dence is That the Business Situa-
ton is Sound and Satisfactory.

Chicago.-The conclusion of the
seventh annual business statement
compiled by the Commercial National
Bank of Chicago from the reports of
10000 correspondents in all parts of
the country, just made public, is that
legitimate business interests through
out the country are prosperous and
sound; only the purely speculative
markets are feeling the effects of
money tension and stagnation. In
part the report says:
THE overwhelming preponderance
of evidence is that the business stu
alton is sound and satisfactory. Not
one of the thousands of replies mega
tives this conclusion in definite terms.
That there has been a marked easing
down from the tension of the spring
and winter months of the year is
generally admitted, but it is admit
ted without a trace of regret or mis-
giving"
In regard to money, it goes on to
say:
THE bankers of the country, with
few exceptions in the Far West, re-
port an extraordinary demand for
funds in all lines of business activ-
ity. Interest rates are firm every
where, and in the central reserve
and larger reserve cities the inquiry
for funds so much exceeds the supply
that money is described as tight
The range of our investigation justi-
fies the conclusion that bank deposits
show a straight average increase of
14.2 per cent, against a similar aver
age increase of 1913 per cent. in the
loans. The averages, weighed ac-
cording to the relative magnitude of
the totals, would probably show a
closer correspondence between the
growth of deposits and loans"
The report continues:
Business is generally reported to
be good in volume, making an excep-
ton for the great hesitancy in the
metal market, especially in copper
and the alloy metals. Voluntary
concessions in the prices of these
materials have made buyers wary
and they are generally waiting in the
hope of further forced declines.
THE iron and steel industry is 60
ing ahead under the pressure of or
ucIo previously UOOhOQ lOF Idll uS-
livery, but it is conceded that the
current inquiry is lighter, leading to
the shading of prices in pig and bill
lets-the basic articles of the in
dustry. The feeling prevails, how
ever, that with a continuance of
activity, even on a somewhat lower
scale, the railways will be compelled
to buy steadily. In fact, the strength
of the market for plates indicates
confidence in the tariff situation and
a steady increase in freight equi-
ment."
Referring to the crop situation, it
says: Our replies on schedules
touching the crop financing opera
tions of the banks show that though
yields may be deficient in quantity
and quality those defects, in conjunc-
ton with an unabating consumption,
will require practically as large a
volume of funds as last year"

LABOR TO FIGHT.
Gonpers Says Manufacturers Sought
to Delay Criminal Action.

Washington, D. C.-The Injunction
proceeding brought in the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia
against the officers of the American
Federation of Labor by the National
Manufacturers Association will be
answered by a conspiracy suit from
the labor organizations against the
Manufacturers Association. The au-
thority for this statement is Presi-
dent Samuel Gompers, of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor, who said
that he was authorized to instruct the
attorneys of his organization to pre-
pare the papers in the action.
Another development in the con-
test between organized labor and the
Manufacturers Association is likely
to be an application to the Postofice
Department for a fraud order against
the American Federationist. This is
the organ of the American Federation
of Labor that prints the unfair list
against which an injunction is sought
by the Manufacturers Association.
Daniel Davenport, of Bridgeport,
Conn, one of the attorneys of the
Manufacturers Association, took
steps to bring the complaint to the
attention of the Postofice Depart.
ment.
President Gompers declares that
the officers of the Manufacturers AS.
ISOLATION began their suit hurriedly
to forestall the criminal prosecution
of themselves by the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. He insisted that
the American Federation has had
under consideration plans for the
prosecution of the Manufacturers
Association for some time, and that
by some means President Van Cleave,
of the Manufacturers Association,
learned of the Federation's purpose
and brought the injunction proceed
ing to counterfeit the effect of the
contemplated suit.

Our conclusions with regard to tea
are that its original popular use as a
stimulating beverage with breakfast
Is justified and harmless, but that its
indiscriminate consumption with meat
foods or during proteid digestion Is
likely to be harmful. China tea, on
account of its less fannie acid content,
is less harmful than India tea. Our
results with ginger beer showed that
this beverage was practically without
influence upon digestion. - London
