once be interested in the novelty eX-
hibited, and naturally will then turn
their attention to the goods on dis
play. American shopkeepers are far
in advance of the merchants Of other
countries in introducing these EYE
catchers." Still, one of the most in
teresting seer recently comes from
Germany. 1t is shown in the illus
tration. This apparatus is a glass
vessel, and is nearly filled with water
or other suitable transparent liquid.
A flame, produced by liquid COM
bustibles (such as oil and compressed
air) burns below the surface Of the
water. The air Is led In through
the larger and the combustible by
the smaller pipe. At the left is an
opening for admitting the liquid, and
on the opposite side an overflow pipe.
When the apparatus is placed in a
shop front or the like the fame burn
ing within the liquid will cause at
tention at once. The apparatus can
also be used for producing hot water
for heating purposes.-Philadelphia

showing determination and the chin

height, with a dignifed carriage, Miss
Tarbell is a figure to attract attention
in any assemblage.
Few people possess greater powers
of discrimination and a clearer grasp,
it is said, than does Miss TarDell.
She believes in specializing, and has
concentrated her efforts in literary
work along historical lines. In this
sort of thing she has proved herself
an expert.
Miss Tarbell is a native of Penn
sylvania. She was porn in the oil

ject of the history of oil production
manipulation, she had a lifelong ex-

Price of a Wife in the New Hebr:Ces.
After thirty-three years Of service
in the New Hebrides, the Rev. DR..
Armand has returned to Canada for
a vacation.
Comparing Canadian conditions
with those in the Hebrides DR.. An

for which the women of Canada
should be thankful. In the Hebrides
women are bought and sold like cat
tie. A ~ive-year-old girl is worth two
hogs, and the price increases with
ge-up to certain limits. There is
no excuse for a man being a bachelor,
provided he can raise the price of a
hog.

Youngest telegraph operator in the
world. This world wonder is located

Courts Can't Restrain Libel,

That a newspaper publisher cannot
be restrained by Courts Of Equity
from publishing matter alleged to be
libelous was the gist Of a decision
handed down by Judge John 1. Null
lins,' of the Denver (Col.) District
Court, when he dissolved the tenn
porary restraining order issued by
him two weeks ago against the Daily
Mining Record, of this city, at the
instance Of G. G.. Rice, a Goldfeld
(Nev.) mining promoter. If libelous
matter is published in a newspaper
the only recourse OF the person or
institution claiming to be damaged
lies in an action for damages at law,
ruled Judge Mullins.

SEAWEED IN JAPAN.
100000 Yearly Derived From It
Plans to Increase the Crop.


Japan, which wastes nothing in it's
domestic economy, realizes $4,000
900 annually from it's seaWeed prod
ucts. According to the report Of G..
J.. Davidson, an attache of the Brit
ish Embassy at Toxic, more than fifty
varieties of the seaweed found along
the Japanese coast are utilized either
for food or as manufactured products.
The traveller sees bundles Of dried
seaweed, white with the ~crystalliZed
salt of the sea water, hung from the
front Of every food stall. The coarser
varieties are stewed and served with
fish. Some of the delicate sprigs of
sea grass are boiled with fish soups
and remain a vivid green, floating
against the red lacquer Of the soup
bowls.
Other species of seaweed are used
in the manufacture of glue, Of plas-
ter and of starch. Whole villages are
given over to seaweed fishing and the
drying and packing of the product
for shipment to the manufacturing
plants in the large cities. In the
country along the seashore the farm
ers use the coarse and ropy kelD for
fertilizing their vegetable fields.
During the past few years the Jap
anese Government has taken up the
subject Of the seaweed industry for
the purpose of giving it encourage
ment. Experiments have been carried
on in many places along the coast
with a view to increasing the yield
of the deep water algae. The Gov
eminent offers a reward for the best
method of producing iodine from sea

TRIUMPH OF CHEMISTRY.
Many Drugs and Perfumes Now Ore.
ated in Laboratory.

Professor r. K. Duncan gives an
account of the natural and the arti-
fetal production of perfumes for COM
merce in Harper's Magazine for No
vember. It includes, also, a descrip-
ton of the chemical production OF
natural perfumes. An extract Of coal
tar produces at one-tenth the cost
a substance which is Identical, phys
ically and chemically, with the essen
tial constituent Of oil Of bitter al
monds. The essence Of wintergreen
is methyl s~alicylate. The essence of
courmarin, which is the basis of the
delicate and tenacious odor of new
mown hay" is derived from the
"deer-tongue," an herb iourishing in
Virginia, Florida and Carolina; but
it is also produced chemically in Ger
many. Vanilla is got out of benzoin,
asafoetida, beet sugar, asparagus,
pine resin and a score of other sub
stances, including potato peel, and It
is extracted from oil of cloves. Veri-
table camphor and natural nicotine
are chemically produced.
Many perfumes r simulated.
There is artificial musk, bearing no
chemical relation 70 the secretion OF
the muskdeer. white heliotrope"
Is an extraction from pepper, sassa-
fras, or camphor, combined with
vanillin. From the oil Of turpentine
white lilac" is derived, and is used
especially by soap manufacturers be-
cause it resists the action Of alkalt.
The characteristic odor of "fresh"
violets is produced by an extreme d.
luton Of a constituent part Of the
oil Of lemon and lemon grass. An
artificial carnations" perfume Is
taken from benzyl alcohol, while
from other alcohols and others come
synthetically hawthorn, hyacinth,
rose, jasmine, ylang-ylang and neroli
scents.
Yet there has been an enormous
extension of violet cultivation, Pro-
fessor Duncan says, since the advent
Of the chemical equivalent of that
perfume, and in NO single case has a
synthetic" perfume injured the mar
ket of the natural product.
The reason is, first, that most OF
the synthetic" oils are themselves
derived from plant sources; more
over, they require blending in greater
or less degree with the distilled nat
ural perfumes, which contain minute
substances that are of value. Then,
with cheapened cost Of production,
there is a widened and more protta-
ole market. The annual Hover ar
vest in the village of Grasse, near
Cannes, illustrates the vast proper
tons of the business of raising nat
1ral perfumes. About 100000 pounds
Of violets, $4,000 pounds Of %jonquils,
10000 O pounds of roses, 4,50O,ooo
pounds of orange flowers, 1,S20,O00
hounds of jasmine, 10000 pounds
Of lavender, and prodigious quantities
Of thyme, myrtle, rosemary, asplc,
red geranium and cassia-foWers, aid
in swelling the total of 12,0Oe,OOo'-
600 pounds of flowers annually gath,
cred for d%istillation in the neighbour
hood of this town. Something like
5000, OO0, 900 jasmine flowers are
each year picked by hand near
Grasse; of distilled rose water, jas
mine water and orange-fower water
are produced 100000 quarts, which
would completely float a frigate.-

A License

That a shop should possess a beer
license on condition that no beer is
sold sounds extraordinary, but sew
eral places of this kind exist. A firm
of cider manufacturers have a little
shop in Lincoln which possesses such
a license, though if one went in and
asked for beer he could not obtain
it. The explanation of the paradox
is that there is no license for cider
alone, while a beer license covers
cider.

Doctor Guthnlck, of the Royal Oh

that several, and perhaps all, of
these satellites behave like our own
moon in keeping always the same
side toward the planet round which

The Kusel electric lamp, invented
by DR.. Hans Kusel, Of Baden, and
manufactured in Austria, is remark
able nots only for it's excellence in
practicaEuse but also for the novel
manner In which the ilaments are
made. Alloys of chromium, manga
nese, molybdenum, uranium, tho
rum, chromium, platinum, osmium
and iridium are first ASSOCIATED in
water by the electric spark, and
being precipitated in ininitesimal
particles, they form a colloidal mass,
which, because of its placticity, can
be nodded like wet clay. After dry
ing, the flaments thus nodded be-
come sufficiently hard and resistant
to bear all the manipulations needed
for their Introduction into electric
lamps. AS soon as they have been
heated to redness by the passage Of
a current. they return to the metallic
state, and thus form flaments Of
pure metal, perfectly homogeneous
throughout, and Of uniform calibre.
