Force of a Jet of Water.

A factory in Grenoble. France, uti-
lilies the water Of reservoir situated
in the mountains at a height of 200
yards. The water reaches the factory
through a vertical tube of the same
length. with a diameter of considerably
less than an inch. the jet being used
to move 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 detecting a drop Of the water and
with as much violence as pane of
glass may be shattered by blow from
an iron bar. 1t has been calculated
that jet Of water small fraction of
an inch in thickness moving with suffi-
cient velocity could not be cut by a
rifle 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 ath-
lete may be conquered by malaria or
typhoid fever when frail little wom-
an throws off the attacks of the germs
that cause these diseases and never
feels them.
A great prizefighter walks out in the
evening and is stung by mosquito.
A day or two later he is shivering with
cold and burning with fever by turns.
The mosquito has injected the germs
of malaria into his blood. and his blood
has not the strength to exterminate
them He receives small wound.
The surgeon has to sew 1t up, and the
big. husky chap faints from the pain.
while slender fragile woman endures
pains hundred times as severe with
scarcely a murnur.
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 it makes man
breathe deeply, sets heart pumping
more vigorously, aids his stomach and
intestines to digest better. distracts 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

GROTESQUE HEADDREsSES.
Monaghan Women Drench Their Hair
With Fish Glue and Grease.

The headdress of the Monaghan wo-
men is very complicated affair.
When the hair is made up in the shape
of elephants ears it indicates matri
mony. and when worn in tail it
means that the woman Is spinster
In order to give this shape to the hair
the woman makes parting in the
middle of her head. then drenches the
hair. each side by turn. with pleas
ing mixture of fish glue and grease.
When it is thoroughly soaked she
spreads the upper part out thinly in
such way that at its broadcast it
measures about six inches wide. TO
keep the hair in this shape she EN-
poys wooden clips. which. when the
hair is dry. are replaced. if she can af
ford it. by silver or golden ones. The
lower part of the hair is made into d
plat. with a silver or golden orna-
ment at the end TO prevent it's coming
undone
These silver or golden clips and hair
ornaments are often set with precious
stones. and princesses even have the
whole of the plat hidden by means OF
silver or golden rings. AS the making
up Of the hair takes a whole day and
the MongOI women are very lazy and
not particularly Clearly in their hab-
its. 1t is not surprising to learn that
this operation is performed by some
once a week, by others once a month
and yet others pretty low down in the
social scafe-once year. Wide World
