Fat for frying should not be hot enough

Dumas Last Jest.

Dumas the elder was the son Of q

would take his soldiers by the breeches
and fling them over the palisades to an
assault.
Dumas inherited much of that same
spirit. 1t is said that Dumas left
Paris for the last time taking with him
q single gold piece, which he solemnly
laid on the mantelpiece of his room at
Puys. Toward the end his eye wan
dered across the sickroom to this coin,

Sunset and Twilight.

Twilight is phenomenon caused by
atmospheric refraction- When the sun
gets below the horizon we are not i'm
mediately plunged into the darkness of
night. Although the sun is below our
horizon, rays of solar light are bent or
refracted by the terrestrial atmosphere
and continue to furnish some slight
illumination. The process continues
with diminishing intensity until the
sun is so far below the horizon that
the refracting power Of the atmosphere
Is no longer able to bend the rays
enough to produce visible effect. The
time after sunset that the sun reaches
such a position varies with the lati-
tude of the place. There is less twt-
light at the tropic zone than at the
temperature or frigid zone. This Is due
to less tine taken by the suns rays to
pass through the atmosphere, at the
tropic zone the suns rays being per
pendicular and at the temperate and
frigid zones oblique.

Feared Premature Burial.

The doctor who left instructions that
a bell watch should be fixed to his
wrist after death as a precaution
against premature burial may have
heard of the similar safeguards pre-
scribed by Meyerbeer. Two men were
to watch over him night and day for
five days, he directed, and bells were
to be hung from his hands and feet to
give warning of the slightest move
ment Finally, incisions were to be
made in his throat.
Harriet Martineau also had a fear OF
burial alive and left directions for her
body to be decapitated, while Lady
Burton stipulated for a post mortem
examination of her remains. Which,
we may ask, is greater, the fear of
death or the fear of lifeeLondon

Iiqht and Sound and Glass.

Why doesn't the closed window shut
out light just as much as it shuts out
sound? Both light and sound travel
through the air, and their waves come
in contact with the glass. The light.
after 1t has gone through the window,
seems just as strong or stronger, while
the sound seems ever so much weaker.
Why Is it? Many Of US have wonder
ed The reason is that light Is not a
wave of air, while sound Is. Light Is
a wave in the ether which Is In the
glass as well as In the air, so that light
in passing through glass still has its
natural path of ether. But when sound
waves strike the window glass they
must put the glass into vibration, and
the glass In turn must make the air
inside vibrate. All this lessons the
strength of the sound waves, and they
reach our ears capable Of producing q
less startling effect than are the light
waves which reach our eyes.

Pottery and Secrecy.

In the royal mandatory Of pottery
at Meissen, Saxony, the work was for
merly carried on with the utmost Sc
crecy TO prevent the processes from
becoming known elsewhere. The es-
tablishment was a complete fortress,
the portcullis of which was not raised
day or night, no stranger being per-
mitted to enter for any purpose what
ever. Every workman, even the chief
inspector, was sworn to silence. This
injunction was formally repeated every
month to the superior officers employ
ed, while the workmen had constantly
before their eyes in large letters the
warning motto, BE Secret Unto
Death" 1t was well known that any
person divulging the process would be
imprisoned for life in the castle of
Koenigstein. Even the king himself
when he took strangers Of distinction
to visit the works was enjOined to Sc
crecy. One Of the foremen, however,
escaped and assisted in establishing a
mandatory in Vienna, from which
the secrets spread all over Germany.

AeropIane Winqs,

Various kinds of material including
linen, silk. cotton. re!luloid films and
aluminium foil. have been tried for
covering the wings OF aeroplanes, but
none has proved so satisfactory so far
as linen covered with several coats Of
a rubber solution. This coating in
creases the strength of the linen about
8 per cent, makes ii more enduring un-

causes it TO stretch to an absolutely
smooth surface, a feature that Is Of

Silk, which would seem to make an
ideal covering on account of its light
ness and strength. has been found un-
satisfactory. as it does not withstand
exposure to sun and rain and does not
lend itself readily to the application Of

In the history of all time, often dis
missed the cured patient with the warn
ing "Go in peace and sin no morel"
Only one instance does the writer re-
call that the patient was afflicted that
the word of God might be made mani
fest. The contemporaries knew that
sin played a great part in sickness and
hence asked the Master "Who did sin?''
We instinctively look for the cause
or causes of our indispositions, disabil-
tiles and our diseases. We know that
we are either guilty of sins of commits
sion or sins of omission. We instinct
lively know that laws of nature can not
be broken with impunity. When we
feel pain or other evidence of bodily
discomfort, we try to recall the partic-
ular infraction of the great law of
nature and natures God, called sin.
If for any reason we cannot recall the
exact breaking of the law, we keep
trying to fix responsibility in order to
be on the safe side in the future.
The truth is we all have a good
general idea of what is right and what
is wrong as regards the natural law.
The able contemporary is right, we
do not act in accord with our knowl-
edge. Europe knows the beatitudes
but it does not harmonic knowl-
edge with action. Hence the disease
of Europe and it must be due to sin.
Nations are like individuals in many
respects. We are not proud of our
diseases; "sin is a reproach to any
people"

One of our able contemporaries ex-

that will move mankind to action so
as to get them to put into practice
the knowledge they possess. He in
forms us that. the need is not knowl-
edge but the execution of what they
know. He said, all doctors are agreed
that tobacco is potential cause of
nervousness, blindness and heart dis
turbance and although they say tobac-
co is a poison they do not practice
what they preach. That is quite an
Indictment against the medical profes-
sion. If we confess that we play with
q poison, we also confess that we will
fully sin. How can we expect the lay
man to heed our warnings under such
circumstances How can we expect
to advance the cause of health with
such conduct7 Small wonder the So
called "Christian Science" deceives
the people into believing that matter
is misconception. Small wonder is
it that the conscious mind is argued
out of existence and the subconscious
mind alone is taken as the only one.

1t may be argued that the mate

This is true. but ROdier has TAX
en- care that his velvets meet all
these requirements. They have
not only had the approval Of the
leading couturiers Of Paris. but
large orders have been given for
these very materials, and many
gowns to be shown at the very
earliest openings are fashioned
of velvet. Not only are the vel
vets to be striped and checked,
but they are made up in charm
ing color combinations. Other
materials are a combination Of
velvet and faille or taffeta. and
many are further enriched with
metal threads. II Is said that
never have novelties shown by
Rodier been as marvellous as
they are for the coming season.
