About six years ago he was honored
with an offer from the Prussian gov

organic chemistry at the University of
Gottingen, an offer made on the as
surance that he should have as his du
ties the prosecution of original re-

in such research. The offer was de-
clined despite its fiattering character,
as DIR. Richards preferred to continue
his work in the systematic redeter-
mination of the atomic weights in the
Harvard laboratories. He has written
much on chemical subjects, recent pa
pers dealing with the significance of
changing atomic volume and with a
new atomic theory.

telegraph operator for Carnegie. He
gave that up and put on the leather
apron of an apprentice in order to
learn to be a machinist 1t was harder
work than telegraphing, and for year
or so it was less pay. But this young
man had his eye on the outcome.
He made special study Of electric

applied in rolling mills. He patented
labor saving devices and was made as

By no means. 1t was upward
through toll and sweat and CRIME and
the constant pumping of blood into

money for glad clothes nor for high

Taught BY an Insect.

Brunei, the famous engineer, was
indebted to an insect for a great and
useful invention He was in a ship
yard one day watching the move
ments of an insect known in English
as the naval WOODWORK, when a bril-
liant thought suddenly occurred to
him. He saw that this creature bred
its way into a large piece of wood
upon which it was operating by
means of very extraordinary me-
chanical apparatus.
Looking at the animal attentively
through a microscope he found that
1t was covered in front with q pair of
valvular shells; that with it's foot as
a purchase 1t communicated rotary
motion and a forward impulse to the
valves, which, acting upon the wood
like gimlet, penetrated its sub
stance, and that as the particles OF
wood loosened they passed through a
assure in the feet and thence through
the body of the borer to it's mouth
where they were soon expelled
Here said Brunei to himself, lis
the sort of thing l want. Can 1 re-
produce it in an artificial form?" He
forthwith set to work, and the finaI
result of his labors, after many fail.

with which the Thames tunnel was

LcsScning Fire Losses.

1t is both Interesting and instruc-
tive to compare fire losses in Ameri-
can cities with cities of England and
Europe where fire resistance has been
plainly recognized as public necess-
ity for centuries past.
In New York, Boston and Phila-
delphia the annual number OF hres
has been steadily increasing, and IN
far greater proportion than the
growth of population. The same con-
ditions hold true in London, Berlin
and Paris, but whereas the total
American losses have increased out
of all proportion to city growth or
expansion, fire losses in continental
cities have not materially increased.
The annual fire loss in Boston is
now about $4,000, 200, while in
an average European city Of equal
population the fire loss will be found
seldom to range over $500 And
this is in spite of the fact that the
daily number of fires will be about
the same, and in spite Of the usually
marked superiority of American fire
fighting facilities. The real reason
for the difference is to be found in
the methods of building construction.
In such cities as Havre, Rouen,
Milan, Rome, Brussels, Antwerp, and
Leeds, Sheffield and Bristol, in Eng
land, every fire III the year 1890 was
confined to the building in which it
originated; while in Dresden, Flor
ence, Vienna and other cities every
! fire was confined to the floor on
! which it originated.
In Hamburg, out of a total of 6S2
/ fires in 1890, $50 were confined to
the floor where they started, Gao to
the building, while only ten fires OK.
tended to the adjoining property.
A conf1agration, or the extension
of fire beyond the immediate adjoin-
ing property, had not been known
since 1912. And we must bear in
mind that many of these results are
obtained in spite of what Americans
would consider the most ridiculous
fire fighting facilities.

Where's Mother?

Bursting in from school or play,
This is what the children say:
Trooping, crowding, big and small
On the threshold in the hall
Joining in the constant cry,
Where's mother"
From the weary bed of pain
This same question comes again;
From the boy with sparkling eyes
Bearing home, his earlist prize;
From the bronzed and bearded sor
Perils past and honors won,
where's nothcr?"
Burdened with lonely task,
One day we may vainly ask
Fer the comfort of her face,
For the rest of her embrace,
Let us love her while we may,
Well for us that we can say,
"Where's mother"
Mother with untiring hands,
At the post of of duty stands,
Patient, seeking not her own,
Anxious for the good alone
Of the children as they cry,
Even as the days go by,
"Where's mother?"
