Portraits made out Of single hairs,
each hair being some 80 inches long,
can be seen now in the establishment
of L. P. Federmeyer in Germany. His
work Is considered as really the most
remarkable of its kind in the world
and he is becoming known as q genius
in his profession.
On the walls of his establishment
may be seen hanging notices and de-

glance at them as you would glance
at any picture on entering home.
but when you are told that these pic
lures were made up entirely Of human
hairs, without single line Of paint,
crayon or pencil. you are half inclined
to doubt the veracity Of the proprietor.
When he produces a magnifying glass
and you see hair, some Of 1t chopped

There are pictures Of Victor Hugo,

penn,s JnexhaustibIe Elm Tree.

When the old tree fell ii was util-
ICED after the American fashion. A
few cords of It were sent to the Penn
family in England; an armchair was
made from it and placed in the COM
missioner's hall in Kensington. Hun
dreds OF thousands of work stands,
vases, paper weights, knife handles,
paper cutters, etc, were made from
the remainder OF it. During the
Centennial in Philadelphia In 1876 a
new impetus was given to the manu-
facture of the great elm relics, and
several planning mills had all they
could do to supply the demand Prob
ably there never was a tree so re-
markable for its versatility. Pretty
and useful articles of pine, maple, wal
nut, oak. ash and cherry were made
from the great elm and sold to the
reverential tourists from all parts Of
the great republic. II is estimated
by the careful statistician who CON-
piled the facts for this work that not
less than six cords OF hickory walking
sticks, with the bark on, were made
of this great elm and sold to centen-
NAL pilgrims from the city.-G. J.

BUILDING RULES MOST STRICT
Those Of Switzerland Designed to Give
Protection to Adjacent Prop.
erty Owners.

A peculiar building regulation is In
force In most parts of Switzerland. 1t
Ia required that before the erection of
new building, frames or screeds
must be erected to mark out the shape
OF the building In profile as we'll as
In plan. In practice this amounts to
erecting at each angle OF the building
a pole or mast with a projecting tri-
angular frame attached to 1t at the
cornice level to indicate the height
and projection Of the cornice. The
building law of the canon Zurich re-
quires that the framework shall be
erected when the plans are submitted
for approval by the public authorities.
The purpose of the rule apparently is
to bring out, in advance of construc-
ton, the architectural relations of the
building to adjoining structures and
to the districts in which 1t lies, both
for aiding the municipal authorities in
passing upon the plans from the archi.
tectural viewpoint and giving the
neighboring owners an opportunity to
Judge Of the effect of the proposed
new building upon their interests.

Velocity Of lioht.

The first determination OF the We
locity Of light was made by Romer in
1876. The method was based upon the
observation of the eclipses of Jupiter's
satellites. phenomena Of frequent re-
currence and easy of observation. As
Stunning that light required time where
in to move from place to place through
space, the interval between successive
eclipses would appear too short when
the earth is approaching Jupiter and
too long when the earth is receding
therefrom. Romer found in his obser.
vations that such was the case and
that the interval was conditioned by
the rate of speed at which the earth
changed places relatively to Jupiter.
From these constants Romer computed
that light expended about sixteen and
one-half minutes in crossing the
earth's orbit From this is deduced a
velocity of about 1S6,500 miles a sec.
