Due to Vanity.

What women win do and endure In
the quest of beautiful looks was ex.
empli1ed by some instances given by
a lady doctor.
A very wealthy woman recently took
on a trip abroad with her a staff of
beauty experts besides her maids.
They travelled with her everywhere,
staying at the best hotels and receiv.
ing large salaries for about an hours
work each per day. The lady, who
is considerably past middle age thus
managed to keep up an appearance of
youth, the artificiality of which, how
ever, deceived no one but herself.
Other beauty maniacs, as they are
called, are SO made up with dyes and
facial coloring matter that they have
to avoid the open air. The treatment
begins at noon, the face being steamed
and massaged, the hands, arms, and
neck whitened with artificial prepare
tons, the hair manipulated and the
figure scientifically laced. Drugs are
used to make the eyes bright. And all

Origin of Menaueries.

An attempt to trace the origin of
geological gardens and natural his.
tory museums has been made by J..
Won Pleyel, a German. He concludes
that menageries originated partly in
the worship of sacred animals and
partly in the ambition of rulers to col
lect specimens of rare, valuable and
savage creatures. The simplest form
of geological gardens was known to
the Chinese, Indians, Greeks, Romans
and pre-Spanish Mexicans In very an
cient times, a Chinese menagerie dat
ing from 1150 b. G. being the oldest
on record. The den of lions kept by
Dariu, Of which we are told in the
Book Of Daniel, is an illustration Of
the primitive menageries, and the
sacred white horses of Greece and
Rome and the so-called white ele-
plants of Burma and Siam represent
another type. The menagerie founded
in 1897 in Regents park, London,
seems to have suggested the establish.
ment in Paris that is regarded as the
earliest modern geological garden.

How the Famous Porterhouse Came

seen the words "porterbouse steak"
Now, most people know what a por-
terhouse steak is, having on some o C
casion eaten one, or at least q piece
Of beef that went by that name. but
few people know how the anne itself
originated. Years ago there was a
hostlery lei Harvard university kept
by a man named Porter. Soon this
tavern became famous for its yiandB.
especially for It's cuts OF meats. The
stranger stopping there for a meal
and not knowing exactly what to or
der would be advised by his genial
host. Mr.. Porter, to order a steak. So
good we're his steaks that travellers
often spoke Of them, and gradually
began referring to them as the
steak you get at Porter's houses,
From that 1t was but a short time
before they were referred to as the
porter house steak" Since then

WAS MERELY MAKING WORK.
When Target Practice Was Not Sc
important a. II 10 Now.

In recent years." said an ordnance
officer. Everything on a war vessel
gives way to target practice. The one
thing q commander is more interested
In than anything else Is the record
that his men can make at the ranges,
But there was a time when the man
behind the gun was not recognized
as the most important element in the
efficiency OF a fighting ship.
TO illustrate: l was junior officer
on the old Essex many years ago. In
those days we had target practice
once a quarter. We were forced by
regulations to expend so many rounds
of ammunition every three months,
a~nd-well, that was about all there
was to it. il was a perfunctory kind of
practice. and every one was glad
when 1t was over.
"One day we went out for the quar-.
terly practice, anchored the target and
went at 1t. The targets we used in
those days were three planks fasten-
ed In a triangle, a spar stepped in the
center to hold the canvas which form
ed the target proper.
Now the gun captain Of the for.
ward pivot rifle was an excellent
marksman, and on his first trial he
sent a shell through the spar, which
smashed it into flinders. That, OF
course, stopped the practice, and out
went a boat to tow the wrecked tar.
get alongside for repairs.
When 1t had been patched up, 1t
was towed back to its place, and firing
was resumed.
Again the same gunner had the
first shot, and again his shell brought
down both the spar and the canva
The boat was again sent out, but
when the repaired target was being
towed back to the range, the captain,
who was much out of humor by the
delay, spoke his mind.
""Tell Gunner Blank he command.
ed, that If he hits that target again ]
will put him in the brig!'"

Sodium for Electric Uses.

Sodium is an excellent conductor Of
electricity, and In view Of the increas-
Ing price OF copper and the growing
demand for that metal not only for
electric installations, but for many
other purposes. the idea has been
preached that sodium should be tried
as a material for electric cables. Elk
periments looking to this end have
lately been made by Mr.. A. G. Bett.
He filled an iron tube 1870 feet in
length with melted sodium. The core
thus formed had a c~ross-section Of an
inch and a half. A current of 500 am
peres was readily transmitted through
1t. Mr.. Bett thinks that sodium con
ductors constructed upon this plan
may be made cheaper than conductors
of copper.

Then all will grab each other by the

Is shown connected In shunt across
the binding-posts of the lamp holder
with one or two cells of dry battery
in circuit, Fig. Z.
The aerial line, No. 8 stranded, Is
u from binding-post B through the
choking or tuning coil, and for best
results should extend up SO IT. in the
air. To work a 20-mile distance the
line should be 100 or $50 II. above
the ground. A good way is to erect
a wooden pole on a house or barn
and carry the aerial wire to the top
and out to the end Of a gan or arm.
To the end Of the aerial wire fasten
a bunch Of endless loops made Of
about No. IA magnet wire (bare or

The electric railway had many 'in-

provenents brought DE system to its
present usefulness. Thomas Daven,

the electric railway, although an Ital-
ian priest, Able Salvatore Del Negro,
professor Of natural history at the
University Of Padua, is reputed to
have designed IN electric toy traction
machine Of the re%ciprocating type in
1880. Davenport ran a toy motor
mounted on wheels on a small circu.
lar railway in 1894, exhibiting this q
year later at Springfield and Boston,
