Piercing the Ears.

Dear Madame Alta:
I am very anxious to wear earrings,
but am 20 and have never had my ears
pierced. Please tell me If this can be
done, and If so, how to go about doing
it. I would like to wear the large pearl
earrings. Thanking you in advance,
am, A DAILY READER.
You will be extremely foolish to al
low an amateur to pierce your ears.
The proper healing of the ear after the
piercing is most important. Be sure
to have one experienced in the art.

the ear lobe, making piercing unneces-

SQUEAkiNG SHOES.
Rnrc Now because OF "a Difference

hnrc Now because OF a Difference In
the Welt
DO you remember" asked the shoe
salesman, "the days when new shoes
creaked?
And how you used TO have the shoe.
maker put wooden pegs in the middle
or the sole about every week to stop
the noise?
sometimes you soaked the soles of
your shoes In water and then had to
rub them with lard or some other kind
II grease to get them flexible.
You don't have to do that now.
The new welt has taken the souesk
away.
"In the old days the soles of shoes
consisted of two even pieces Of leather.
and the friction OF these two pieces
caused the squeak when person
walked.
Shoes are made differently now.
You see that little piece of ridged
leather that runs from the heel around
the outside OF the sole?
That's what we call the welt If "a
a piece OF leather about an inch vida
sewed to flap cut and turned under
the inside.
The space between the outer side
and the insole is filled with ordinary
tar paper, which holds the soles in
shape and also prevents squeaklng by
taking away the friction.
This system of n welt was Invented
thirty years ago. but at first it wasn't
a success because the soles were sewed
with straight needle.
Couldn't explain it to Won in n HIM.
dred years, but to prevent squeaking
the soles of shoe have to be sewed
with crooked needle.
You see, when n sole Is sewed with
q straight needle II leaves no fexibili-
ty to the sole.
"But the welt added so much to the
appearance and strength of the shoe
that improvements We're made ON the
nrst system, and soon afterward tho
slant or side sewing by a crooked nee
die was patented.
"A shoe that is made with that i'm
provement costs % cents more TO the
manufacturer than the old style.
The patent on it still holds good.
and liz cents royalty has to be paid
on every pair of shoes that is made
that way.
"But it's worth 1t.

Dad as an out OF date dress or a straw

Mirrors In Churches.

preliminary details, and give you my
word that in the list OF improvements

lot or small mirrors to be put into the
backs OF all the seats SO the ladies
could see how their hats looked when
they knelt down to pray. or-tv,.2 ~,
"Before the work was really COM
msnced the rest OF the congregation
got wind OF the contemplated innova-
ton and raised no end Of a row. The
question Looking glasses or no look
ing glasses was voted on by the whole
church. The conservative noes won
out by small majority.
But IL is question that will bob
up again with the building OF other
churches. Most of the women of the
congregations are demanding looking
glasses in the churches, either In the
pews or set as panels I'm the walls, and
the time will soon come when they
will be considered a necessary feature

The Number ofAnimaIs.

Every now and then. says Wissen
fur ALE, some naturalist endeayors Ia
make an approximate numerical count
or known animal species. This kind
OF attempt is surely not without inter-
est bat 1t must be acknowledged that
Its results are very uncertain. We are
far from knowing all species, and there
Is yet a delightful prospect ahead for
those who love systematic zoology and
Tor biologists who bestow mutual hon.
ors by giving each others name TO
some animal hitherto unknown.
AS Nurmann remarked to a recent
meeting Of naturalists at the museum.
to which he presented his Catalogues
Mammalium," the species of rodents
known in 1880 were only 07O in num-
Der. Now they are 1000. The number
mas thus at least doubled in twenty
seven years. The number of living
species OF this creature now known is
about 1900, divided among 100 genera
Ihis family is the most numerous OF
the class of mammalia.

Merely Overlooked.

The ways OF the crank with an In.
vention are unaccountable. Here is q
recent actual example. A brisk, eager
individual called on a capitalist for
the purpose of interesting him in de-
vice for discouraging burglars.
Il want TO get the idea patented" he
said, land l haven't any money. Pm
willing to so halves with any man
that will give me the financial backing.
My scheme is this. You first make
your doors and windows secure. SO
that they can't be opened at all from
the outside. There are plenty of devices
Tor doing that nowadays. Make all Of
them tight and fast, except one. Leave
that one so that it will open easily.
Ihen run wire from that window to
the head Of your bed, where you have
an alarm bell. The burglar comes
along, tries the doors and windows
and when he comes to that one he.
raises it. The alarm goes off. and the
burglar hears it and fees, or IL wakes
you up, and you are ready for him. In
either case 1t accOmplishes your pur-
pose"
But" said the capitalist, If YOU
can make all the doors and windows
fast except one, why not make that
one secure. too. and thus keep the bur-
glar out entirelyY
II never thought OF that?" replied
the inventor. rubbing his jaw.
He didn't get the moyty.

s"e PROCESS u Simple, but the nv

Sir William Crookes i'm the course OF
n lecture ON Diamonds" before tho
British association at Kimberley tho
other day explained to the assembled
company how the precious gems might
be manufactured.
The first necessity he said. sis to
select pure iron free from sulphur. sill.
con, phosphorus, etc, and to pack IL In
a carbon crucible with pure charcoal
from sugar" The crucible must then
be put into the body OF the electric fur
mace. After few minutes heating

the current is stopped, and the daz.
Eling, fiery crucible is plunged beneath
the surface of cold water, where ii Is
held till IL sinks below red heat.
The sudden cooling solidifies the
outer layer of iron and holds the inner
molten mass in tight grip The ex.
pansion of the inner liquid on solidify-
ing produces an enormous pressure

action on light the same as the natural
gem"
Atteoticn was called TO the sugges.
ton that the diamond is gift from
heaven conveyed to earth in meteoric
showers. According 10 this hypothesis.
said the lecturer, holes were bored in
the earth by the impact OF monstrous
meteorS, the larger masses boring the
holes, while the smaller masses. dis
integrating IN their fall, distributed
diamonds broadcast.
Bizarre as such a theory is" observ.
ed the great scientist, 'I am bound to
say there are many circumstances
which show that the notion OF the
heavens raining diamonds is not i'm
possible" In proof OF this he showed
the audience photographs of diamonds
he had extracted from Il meteorite.
The lecture abounded in interesting
passages. Here is one:
ut is not uncommon for n diamond
to explode soon after 1t reaches the
surface. Some have been known to
burst in the pockets of the miners or
when held in the warm hand, and the
loss is the greater because large stones
are more liable to explode or fly in
pieces than small ones
valuable stones have been DESTROYED
In THIS way, and 1t Is whispered that
cunning dealers are not averse to al
lowing responsible clients to handle or
carry in their warm pockets large crys-
tails fresh from the mine. BY way of
safeguard against explosion some deal
ers im5ed large diamonds in raw pota.
