Rnnnh rraininu At Eton.

Early in the last century many boys
at Elton. England. had tOsundergO a
rough training. An old EtOnian who
left the school in 1884 describes his
experiences there as worse than that
Of many inmates of a workhouse or
jail. To get up at on freezing win
ter mornings; to sweep their own
floors and make their own beds; to go
two by two to the pump for scanty
wash; to eat no mouthfu1 of food until
8 a. M; to live ON an endless round of
mutton, potatoes and beer, none Of
them too plentiful or too good; to sleep
in a dismal cell without chair or table
such was the lot of boys whose par
ents could not afford to pay for a pri-
vate room. Some of these underwent
prtvations that might have broken
down a cabin boy and would be thought
inhuman if inflicted on a galley slave"

The Chemical Detsetivs.

Great is the chemist A glue fac
tory. which was proud Of theesticking
qualities OF it's glue. received many
complaints that its glue was not stick
Ing. and the manager believed it was
not his product that was at fault. but
glue made by some other concern and
falsely represented to be his.
The chemist was asked to find rem
edy. He made a slight change in the
process OF manufacture. so that when
4 certain chemical was applied to the
glue any time after it had left the
factory the glue would Immediately
change to a certain color. Statesmen
were then given bottles Of this chem
ical. whenever they were told that
their glue had failed they asked to see
the faulty work and then dropped some
Of the chemical on the dry glue. If
the proper color appeared it was their
glue. otherwise it was competitors.
If the customer doubted the test the
salesman could prove the fairness Of
it by trying 1t on any Of his firms

Tanbark az q Fuel.

Perhaps the most Important Of waste
fuels in the United States has been
spent tanbark. A rough estimate would
indicate that this material generated
a few years ago an amount Of steam
that would have otherwise required
the yearly consumption of about 2.OOO.-
600 tons OF high grade coal. Yet this
valuable fuel was at one time consid-
cred a mere detriment and an expense
to the leather industry. It was dis
posed Of by dumping 1t int rivers, fill
Ing in waste ground and by making
roads with it, often necessitating the
paying out of large sums for its dispo'
sition. This strilzingly illustrates
case of how the improvement OF fur
mace converted a hitherto supposed
combustible into a valuable waste fuel
of the autocombustible class and
shows how an enormous waste was
converted into an equally great econ

IntersteIIar Space.

That interstellar space is not absO-
lutte void. but is partly filed with par
ticles of matter, however small or in
visible. is the theory that an Ameri-
can astronomer has evolved through
the study of comets.
His theory is based upon the fact
that all bodies fall at the same rate
I'm a vacuum. but in the open air light
er bodies are retarded by friction and
fall at a slower rate. If intersteliar
space were a vacuum all stars, COM
cts and planets would keep the same
relative position and speed. But if it
were not a vacuum the lighter celestial
bodies, such as comets, would tend to
be retarded by friction and fall be-
hind the larger and denser bodies.
This retarding would be most no
ticeable at the part OF the comets
orbit which is farthest from the sun.
and the comet would tend to change
it's movement at this point and as
sumo an individual direction. This
hypothesis seems to be borne out by
his ObservatiOns.-POpu Mechanics.

Ancient Egyptians.

That the ancient Egyptians were not
negroes IS certain. and it is equally
certain that they did not belong to the
Semitic or Jewish race. Said the late
Professor Huxley: 81 am not aware
that there are any living people who
resemble them, except the Dravidian
tribes of central India and the Austria
hans, and i have long been inclined
to think that the latter are the lowest
