A SCIENTIFIC HOAX.
The Steel Eating Worm and the Origin
Of the Mythical Insect.

The Steel Eating Worm and the Origin
Of the Mythical Insect.
A letter published In the New York
Engineering News from Mr.. E. Gyb-
bon Salisbury gives the origin Of the
myth regarding the steel eating
worm" About 1886. he says, en-
pbyees Of various iron. steel and
chemical works Of the district sur
rounding Haspe, In Germany, used to
meet at a hotel in order to discuss
subjects Of general interest, with the
result that q society known as the
"Ulk," which in English signifies
fun" was formed.
The steel eating worm was created
at one Of the meetings and an editor
from one of the neighbor1ng towns was
made the subject Of the joke. The
insect" was manufactured from a
piece Of gutta percha tube and was ex-
hibited in a bottle half full of scale.
The worm was filed with dilute n.y.
1rochloric acid and when properly dis
turbed with a glass rod 1t would emit
Il drop of the acid, which. on attacking
the scale. served to prove that the cor
rosion IA due to q secretion Of the
worm and that the oxides formed Its
food.
The editor accepted the exhibit In
good faith and published an account
Of the alleged discovery. with the con
sequence that 1t reappeared in many
other journals and has since been re
produced elsewhere at varying inter
vals.

to save the old one
-" Sorry the teller said, but it's a
rule Of the company that when a new
book Is issued we must take up the

Of this color coming to the trout as the

SUGGESTIONS AND HINTS.

When making pastry, a few remind
ers will be helpful. Have every uten-
sill and all the materials cold: cut in
the lard with a knife or rub in quick
ly with the tips Of the fingers. When
adding the water. have it cold, and add
too little rather than too much, for
too wet pastry needs more flour and
always results In a tough crust.
Handle it as little as possible. roll 1t
quickly and lightly and If the pro.
portions are good, n tender, faky
crust will reward your labor. A good
hot oven is necessary for pastry.
A teaspoonful Of hot honey Is a fine
cough remedy. Also red pepper tea,
which may be mixed with milk instead
OF water. and does not seem quite 70
frey.
Putting on children's overshoes, un-
less large and loose, is a troublesome
matter. Keep a shoe horn handy and
see how easily they slip On.
Charcoal Is q splendid odor absorb
er. Keep in the ice chest, In
cupboards where there is any damp
ness, and renew 1t occasionally. The
old need not be thrown away, for 1t
will start the fire Just as we'll as II 1t
hadn't been used for q purifier.
Ants will not return where tartar
emetic has been sprinkled. 1t is poi
sonous, and must be kept away from
pots and food.
When starting a hot air furnace, and
the heat refuses to go up certain pipes,
open q window In the room to make q
draft and the heat quickly follows.
To clean real lace, sprinkle 1t with
French chalk or calcined magnesia
and let 1t lie under a weight for sew
era, days, then shake 1t out and 1t will
be found quite clean.
Slip the shoes when packing into
stocking legs. the white ones in white
stockings and other colors to CORE
spond, then they are kept free from
other things and are easily found
when needed.
Dry bran Is an excellent cleanser.
Delicate suits, furs and Jugs, II
secured with It and then are well
brushed, are wonderfully freshened by
tho bran bath.

WOMEN OF FRANCE.
They Are the Bosses Even Though the

They Are the Bosses Ever Though tho
Men Won't Admit It.
The women Of France have been de-
scribed as the backbone Of the French
nation. The remark applies more to
the middle class than to the aristoc-
racy. The ~bourgeoise, truly a helpmeet
to her husband, is in fact more often a
manager and as a rule efficient In that
capacity. 1t is she who carries on the
little shop, while her husband. perhaps
nominally the head. runs errands at
her bidding. Not that the F%rsnchman
would admit that: nevertheless 1t Is the
truth. 1t may be. too, that he has bust
ness interests elsewhere as well. Thus
he may work for the railway or for
some other enterprise.

AN EYE ON THE HOUSE.
A kslehbsrty Act That Rssultsd In .
Comedy Of Errors.

A ksiehherIy Act That Rssultsd In q
Comedy Of ERROR.
A gentleman and his wife occupying
4 villa in a London suburb asked a
nsighbor to keep an eye Oh the place.
while they were away on their an
nuai holiday. The neighbor consented
and on the first night Of his caretak-
ing noticed a light Ia the bedroom Of
the presumably unoccupicd house and
saw the high. extinguished.
Accompanied by a policeman, the
nsighbor made a foreIble entrance
through the scullery window, and quiet
ly the two men made their way to the
bedroom. The light Of the constable's
bullseye disclosed the head of a man
In bed, and the policeman promptly
drew his truncheon.
AS promptly the occupant Of the bed
began. simultaneously a lady dashed
across the room shrieldng, threw open
the window and at considerable peril
clambered out. A second constable,
passing ut the moment, concluded that
the lady was benz on suicide and. en-
tering the front garden, held himself
In readiness to catch the woman, who
appeared to be about to fling herself to
the ground.
The neighbor, however, dragged the
lady back into the room, and then the
truth began to assert itself. The cap
tured invader of the empty house and
the escaping lady were the occupant
and his wife. who had suddenly chang
ed their holiday arrangements without
informing their too vigilant neighbour

supposed to consist of Frenchmen. |
was, however, quite international
since many daring young foreigner
had Joined 1t, and it was known to il
clude In it's ranks men from Oxford
Gottingen and other universities. 1t i
probable that a majority of It's members
were in 1t more for love Of fightins
than for any love Of country.
1t Is not strange, therefore. that IT.
fame as a fighting body should have
spread throughout the world. Whel
war between the states broke on
several corps of zouaves, wearing the
glittering oriental uniforms Of tbs
French corps or a modification of them
were formed on both sides. On tht
Union side the best known was thai
corps commanded by Elmer Ellsworth
q young officer from New York aDt
the first killed on the Union side. II
the Confederacy the most famous corps
of zouaves was that called the Lou
