Force of a Jet of Water.

A factory in Grenoble, France. uti- ilizes the water of a reservoir situated in the mountains at a height of POO yards The water reaches the factory through a vertical tube of the same length. with diameter of considerably less than an inch. the jet being used to move a turbine. Experiments have shown that the strongest men cannot cut the jet with the best tempered sword. and in some instances the blade has been broken into fragments with out defecting a drop of the water and
 with as much violence as a pane of glass may be shattered by blow from an iron bar. It has been calculated that jet of water a small fraction of an inch in thickness moving with suffi- cient velocity could not be cut by Il rife bullet-Harper's

MUSCLES OF STEEL.
They May Go Hand In Hand With
 Poor Physical Health.


 Great muscular strength Is no criteri on of health. The most powerful atb- lete may be conquered by malaria or typhoid fever when a frail little wom- an throws off the attacks of the germs that cause these diseases and never feels them.
 A great prize6ghter walks out In the evening and is stung by mosquito. A day or two later be is shivering with cold and burning with fever by turns The mosquito has injected the germs of malaria into his blood. and hss blood has not the strength to exterminate them. He receives a small wound. The surgeon has to sew 1t up. and the big, husky chap faints from the pain. while slender. fragile woman endures pains a hundred times as severe with scarcely a murmur.
 For muscular strength and physical health have nothing to do with each other. The physical exercise that causes the former Is. however, con ducive to the latter. for 1t makes a man breathe deeply. sets heart pumping hoAU NASOAou5tJs nAA1 us ntohhSh dhN intestines to digest better. abstracts the mind from care and promotes sound sleep. But great muscular strength often exists with poor power of resist ance to disease.
 The most obvious proof of this is in the resisting power of women. Wom- ans vitality Is greater than mans. She resists starvation better; she is not so susceptible to cold or heat; she can stand a greater loss of blood; when poisoned she is more likely to recover. and how often do we see physical gi- ants the most miserable of victims to seasickness while delicate women are eating their five meals day in stormy weather on shipboard. = New York World.

GR0TESoUE HEADDRESSES.
MonsoiIan Women Drenoh Their Hair
 With Fish Glue and Grease.

With Fish Glue and Grease.
 The headdress of the Mongolian wo- men Is a very complicated affair. When the hair is made up in the shape of elephants ears 1t indicates matri- mony. and when worn in a tail it means that the woman is a spinster. Tn order to give this shape to the hair the woman makes parting in the middle of her head, then trenches the hair. each side by turn. with a pleas ing mixture of fish glue and grease.
 When 1t is thoroughly soaked she spreads the upper part out thinly in such a way that at its broadest it measures about six inches wide. To keep the hair in this shape she em. ploys wooden clips, which. when the hair is dry. are replaced, If she can af- ford 1t, by silver or golden ones The lower part of the hair is made into a plait, with a silver or golden orna- ment at the end to prevent its coming undone.
 These silver or golden clips and hair ornaments are often set with precious stones. and princesses even have the whole of the plait hidden by means Of silver or golden rings. As the making up of the hair takes a whole day and the Mongol women are very lazy and not particularly cleanly in their hab. its. 1t is not surprising to learn that this operation is performed by some once week. by others once a month and yet others-pretty low down in the social scaIe-once year.-Wide World Magazine.

A Breezy American Who Made the

A Breezy American Who Made the
 Most of His Opportunity.
 When E. Alexander Powell was the consular representative of the United States at Alexandria he received al call one morning from the president of an American concern engaged in the man. ufacture of agricultural and well drill ing machinery. This man explained that be was passing through Egypt and asked if 1t would be possible to obtain m audience with the khedive. In "rhe Last Frontier" Mir. Powell gives an amusing account of the inter- view:
 Agriculture and It's attendant prob lems of irrigation and fertilization constitute the sole bobby and amuse- ment of the khedive. He is conse- quently ready and hheral purchaser of all improved types Of agricultural machinery. which he puts to practical use on his great estates. The request of my compatriot was duly transmit ted to the grand master Of ceremonies. and shortly thereafter a reply reached me that named the day and hour when his highness would receive us at the ralIace of Ras-el-Tin.
 Frock coated and top halted we drove to the palace on the day appointed, were received by the officials of the household and shown into the audi ence room, where his highness stood awaiting us. After cordial greeting the khedive drew me down beside him on small sofa and motioned to my companion to take cAair opposite us.
 Ut gives me particular pleasure" I began. ito present Mir. K. to your highness. as be is an authority on agri- cultural machinery. a subject in which your highness is. l know, much inter ested."
 Say. khedive." exclaimed my fellow countryman. suddenly leaning forward and emphasizing every sentence by waggling his finger under the khe- dives august nose. live got the nift- lest little proposition in well drilling machinery that ever struck this burg. and if you don't jump at the chance to get in on the ground floor then all I've got to say Is that you're throwing away the chance Of your nfetimer
 The khedive. being naturally quite unaccustomed to this form of verbal assault and still more unaccustomed to having any one waggle finger un- der his nose. at first drew back haugh- hly. Then the humor of the situation dawned upon him. and as the river of talk which ts one of the chief reli- ances of the trained American sales man, flowed steadily on he became in- terested in spite of himself. Now and then he interjected pertinent ques- tion and ended the audience by giving the American an order for several thousand dollars worth of American machinery. which. when ! last heard of it. was giving excellent satisfaction on the royal farms.

ERIE STATION At
4TR AVE. MENACE
City Officials Testify, Before
Utility Board, That Life Is
lmperiIed There.

As Morris r. Sherrerd, city engineer,
was testifying before the Public Util-
ity Commission at the Court House
today, relative to the dangerous con-
ditl1ns that exist at the Fourth ave-
station of the Erie railroad, in
$3.50 city, he received a telephone mes
sage that Alexander H. Sherrerd, his
brother, was dying at his home in
Parker street
Mr.. Sherrerd was at once excused
from giving further testimony and
hurried to the bedside of his brother.
HIS testimony given before the inter
ruption, was to the effect that the
station and the Fourth avenue cross
ing were menace to life and limb in
their present condition.
He said that patrons frequently got
off passenger trains on the side away
from the station platform, as that was
nearer TO the street, and that on
many occasions they We're forced to
walk between trains standing on par
allel tracks
He also stated that passengers had
TO cross several tracks of the company
to reach the street and that there was
a continual movement of freight and
passenger trains there, making the
crossing a very dangerous one.
Duane L, Minard, representing the
Erie. stated that he understood the
meeting had been called for an in
vestigation into the alleged unsani-
tary condition of the station, but it
was pointed out by Assistant City
Attorney Charles NJ. Myer that the
petition to the utility commission
also embraced the menace to passen-
gers at the station,
Patrick II. Ryan, president of the
Board of Works, and members
Charles p. Gillen, Charles F. Kraem-
err and Arthur r. Denman, were pres
ent at the meeting and all testified
along the same lines as Mr. Sherrerd.
Henry NJ Woodward, jr., a stone
dealer, whose place of business is
near the station, said he had OBJ
served conditions there for nine
years, and that in his opinion the
station was unfit for public use.
Before Mr. Sherrerd was called
away he had told that for more than
six years the city had been seeking
to get the Erie to improve the sta ton
arrangements at Fourth avenue, but
that the company had delayed max
ing any owing to the fact that it had
in contemplation changes that would
do away with the grade crossing at
Fourth avenue and a changing of all
the tracks at that point.
Mr.. Sherrerd pointed out that so far
nothing but plans on paper had been
offered by the Erie in the WaV of
making Improvements at the station.
