Metal Cloth
rom the Scientific American.


 An entirely now product which takes up position about midway between arti- fical silks and the fibers hitherto known which have been made from metal, has just been placed upon the German mar i7et by we'll known Eberfeld firm. In contraGistnction to the metal f1bers so far known Renar yarn does not consist of a metal core or main thread spun around with tinsel; 1t is a core made of any suit able medium which, by means of a specia, chemical process, is entirely covered with a metallic coating which becomes thor oughly incorporated with the core. At the same time all the metallic lustrous particles are so imbedded in the external coat that they are protected against att mospheric or other eXtraneous influences and thus maintain their sheen of luster for an indefinite period. The yarn is not cnly produced in the original coors of gold. silver copper old gold, etc, but it is supplied fin any modern shades re- quired: all these colors are characterized by a fine, striking metallic luster, which will not fail to please and which are i'emi- niscent of silk and metallic lustrous com binations. The yarn can also be worked up with artificial silk. From experiments made 1t is fully proved that this new yarn Is perfectly fast" that is to say, it re- tains It's color and never gets black or OXjdized.

 the mountain cliff. His curiosity was enlisted to such an extent that he scaled the height and inspecting the site of the eagles labors, discovered that the bird had buried there one of it's young. Then came to him the query, 'if this eagle can so. dispose of it's young why cannot I get rid of my burthen in the same manner?'
 There he deposited the body of his brother and erected a tumulus on the spot which to this day Is pointed out as the grave of Abel. Fes.
 I gazed at the solitary mass of stones and then proceeded to Damascus, the oldest city in the world and whilom the abode of the caiphs.
 It is said that Mohammed would not enter Damascus, saying that as he ex- pected to enter the paradise of a future world he would not visit this earthly paradise, but was contented to view it from a hill outside of the walls which 10 this day bears his name. The Arabic historians, however. got their facts a trifle mixed, for in the centre of the city is shown a large tree which it is de- clared MohamnNed planted and so large Is It's trunk that an enterprising merchant has converted it's hollow interior into a shop or bazar.

THE CITY OF THE CALIPHS
By c. F. MARKELL

As passed through a beautiful valley at the foot of snow crowned Mt Hermon ono bright day in May my attention was invited to lonely tumulus high up on the crest of the sourrounding mountains and; I was informed that it was the grave of Abel
 The Mohammedans have beautiful and strange tradition anent the first murder mentioned in holy writ and declare that after the staying of Abel, Cain, being unacquainted with the rites of burial, carried the body of his brother around on his back for five hundred years, the corpse being miraculously preserved from corruption that it might serve as a burthen of long duration and punish nent for Gains crime.
 But as the man upon whom God had set mark was passing through this very same valley in his wanderings, he noted an eagle scratching in the earth on

Oriental influence, manners and charae- tersistics unalIoyed and unadulterated. Here were all manners of tropical fruits and vegetables, gloriously bedizened sad dles and brides, pearl covered furniture and nacre adorned shoes, ice cream made from the snows of Hermon and favored with pistach, brass vessels and ware inlaid with copper, costly scimeters and elaborately decorated daggers, oils, raisins, oranges and gorgeous carpets of fabulous worth and bewildering pattern, antique jewels in settings of most strange fashioning. precious stones,- perfumeries, wines, silks and laces.
 All of the artzans were barefooted and I was struck with the universal and dex- terous employment of the great toe in their work. I saw men holding a board with one toe and saying it with the other; I saw men ironing with the great toe and using the awl i'll leather work in the same manner, I saw tailors cutting cloth with a knife which they held by their toe and l even saw glaziers cutting glass with the toe.
 It was strange sight and one never to be forgotten While here I visited native theatre one evening and for weird ness, commngled with monotomy, 1t was unparalleled.

Damascus is shaped like long handled spoon or hand mirror, the Midan being the principal thoroughfare and running for several miles from the railway sta tion to the heart of the city, and at right angles with the covered street called Straight
 Straight street is the same thoroughfare down which Paul passed and is thronged with bazars as it probably was in tho days that the great apostle knew 1t.
 l have frequently been asked which of the bazars excel-those of. Cairo, Jerusa- lem, Constantinople or Damascus and 1 unqualifiedly accord pre-eminence to those of the last mentioned city.
 The street called Straight is higher than the thoroughfares of the other cities and consequently better ventilated 1t is cov- cred with a canopy its entire length and in it's bazars one loses trace entirely of western civilization sleeping himself with

From Cassier Magazlne.
 It seems that the body will ordinarily give out per day no more external work than about one-fiftieth Of the energy con- stunned in the shape of food. Tho adult human mechanism, while more efficient than large steam plant, is less efficient than u small producer gas plant, assum- ing all plants of the same capacity. This does not mean, however that the body Is Incapable of working at great efficien-

The Hand Shakers

From the Chicago Post.
 The hand shakers are abroad in the land again.
 One cannot walk more than four blocks without having his hand grasped and rapidly pumped up and down while the hand shaker tells him how well he is looking, asks about his family and says he is glad to see him.
 The hand shaker is a candidate for a candidacy.
 He wants to be nominated for some thing.
 He believes in the office seeking the man and not the man the office, but he doesn't hold to the opinion that an office should be considered a Sherlock Holmes. He is willing that the office shall trail him down with a bit more Of a clew than q suspender button and a cigar stub.
 The hand shakers are all right. The only danger is that when ones hand has been shaken too often he will begin to think that the game is so easy he might as well go into the candidacy business himself.

form. external work without taking food at all, the work so done being at the ex- pense of tho bodily tissue. This is the case especially in test of endurance, where the extra energy is drawn from the animal cells.
