A Floor That Turns Over.

The floor in the Apollo theater in
Paris is reversible, one side being made
for dancing, the other being the usual
inclined floor equipped with the fold
ing seats of theater auditorium. The
floor is mounted on a horizontal axis
on which it revolves. II is built on
a framework of steel Orders, has an
area of $500 square feet and weighs
100 tons. The axis, which is parallel
to the front of the stage. is not in the
middle of the thickness Of the floor,
but nearer to the seating surface than
to the dancing surface. The floor
swings through an excavation over
thirty feet In depth.-Cement Age.

fierrngbone Brickwork.
In the ordinary accep;at,on of the
tern, The eel is a scaleless fish. kut
1t is due to the fact that its scales are
very minute and Embedded in the skin
They form, as pointed out by cor
respondent. very interesting and beau
tiful objects for tile microscope. In
size the scales OF the eel vary from one,
twentieth of an inch upward, accord
ing to the age of the fish They are
formed of two layers of clear, horny
substance, the upper of which Is
studded with crystals Of calcium car
Donate. These are so transparent as
to look like empty cells. The scales
vary In shape from blunt to an
elongated oval and are sometimes al
most kidney shaped.
This is how the scales of the eel tell
Its age. On each may be observed at
intervals several more or less clearly
marked lines parallel to the margin.
These mark lines of growth, one for
each year of the life of the fish. Three
years, however, must be allowed fol
the innermost ring, as the eel has no
scales until the third year. The scales
DO not overlap to any extent and are
arranged in series of small groups at
right angles to each other, SO as to
resemble what is known as herring
bone brickwork. Conger cells, how.
ever, are said to have no scales.-Lon.

OLD NOTIONS ABOUT HOSIERY
How Stockings and Their Use Figure
In superstitions About Customs
and Dreams.

Stockings figure in some curious SUI
perstitions touching old customs, espe-
cially those connected with marriage.
Every one knows that there are ac-
tons both lucky and unlucky. Among
the former 1t is commonly held that
to put on any article of clothing wrong
side out Is decidedly a sign OF good
luck; but 1t must be done accidental
ly, and when the mistake Is found out
no change must be made, else the luck
will Immediately vanish. The idea Is
very firmly held about stockings, prob.
ably because II is more easy to make
such a mistake in putting on stock
Ing than in donning other garments
II would be hard, indeed, for a woman
to put on her dress or a man his coat
or vest inside out without noticing
what he was doing.
Sometimes folk are to be found who
have improved upon the common no
tion or who have even reversed it.
Another superstition touching the
use of hose is connected with dream.
ing This is n Scotch notion. If a

he or she has never slept In before,
the certainty of dreaming can be as
surod by placing the stocking taken
off the right foot under the head. Not
only will the sleeper be sure to dream,
but the dream will certainly come to
pass,
OF the super Stitions attached TO
marriage ceremonies, most people
have heard Of throwing the stock,
ing" This rite would hardly be re
garded now as consistent with modern
notions of decorum, but 1t was highly
popular In former days. The ceremony
was performed at the conclusion Of
the wedding days festivities by young
men and girls seated at the bed foot
the former having the brides and the
latter the groom's stockings-whoss
object in throwing the hose backward
over their heads was to hit, IL DOS
