Improved Electric Heating.

The ordinary parlor stove is used
by Herr Gutzah OF BERN as re-
ceptacle for an electric radiator, con-
sisting of wire or carbon of suitable
resistance. and in this way is con-
verified into an electric heater more
satisfactory than those hitherto tried.
Too great local drying of the air is a
usual fault of electric heating. With
the new arrangement the air circula-
ton produced by the stove rapidly
distributes the heat and at the same
time gives ventilation and prevents
excessive drying. The ordinary cur
rent consumption warns an average
room In about an hour. With the large
tile stoves so common in Germany the
heat is retained long time. and the
cost of keeping the room comfortable
is moderate.

OXYGEN USED TO CUT STEEL.
Little or No Finishing Required After
the Operation.

A stream OF oxygen is the knife that
cuts metals. The operation is per
formed by means of blowpipe with
two nozzles, of which the first delivers
an ignited Jet Of mixed oxygen and
hydrogen, and the second is stream
of pure oxygen. The pressure rs reg.
ulated by a gauge attached to the oxy-
gen tank The oxygen hydrogen flame
and the stream Of oxygen strike the
same part of the metal, which, after
being heated by the fame, is rapidly
cut, or rather burned through by the
oxygen, the temperature being raised
to LOO or 1,400 degrees Fahrenheit
by the combustion of the metal The
cut is as smooth as a sheared cut and
requires little or no finishing. Armor
plates can be cut in one-twentieth the
time required for mechanical cutting;

ably causes less strain than punching

The average storm wave is 80 feet

there was something peculiar in her
actions. She seemed to be afraid of
breaking the bricks and afraid Of
breaking the ladder. The policeman
questioned her and the secret came
out. The he arrested her and locked
her up.
The officer did not know that the
woman was hungry, that she had been
driven to the last wall He only knew
that the law told him to arrest the
woman for wearing male attire. The
Judge, too. did not consider the con-
ditions that led the woman to break
the law. He knew the penalty for the
offense. The woman admitted it. So
he fined her.
If parties outside the court had not
had their sympathies awakened by
the case and secured the woman's re.
lease she would have remained in Jail
Fortunately the parties who made up
purse to pay the fine were more
humane than the conscientious officer

Of the New England states present no

which have been abandoned are to the
future of New England what the land
which has never been brought under

they will be occupied and titled, for
the demand for land will force them
into use. Neglected now, they are new
