SEEING THE WIND.
Easy to Watch the Air Currents Flow
 ing Like Waterfall.

Easy to Watch the Air Currents Flow
 ing Like Waterfall.
 It is said that any one may actually see the wind by means of common handsaw. The experiment is simple enough to be worth trying at least According to those who have made the experiment, all that is necessary is n handsaw and good breeze.
 On any blowy day hold the saw against the wind-that is, if the wind is in the north hold the saw with one end pointing east and the other west. Hold the saw with the teeth upper most and tip it slowly toward the ho- rizon until it is at an angle of about forty-five degrees.
 By glancing along the edge of the teeth you can "see the wind." It will be pouring over the edge of the saw much after the manner that water pours over a waterfall. This is doubt less due to the fact that there are always fine particles of dust in the air, and in a strong breeze the wind forces against the slanting sides of the saw. slides up the surface and suddenly "pours over" when it reaches the top.
 It is doubtless the tiny particles that make the air dust laden that can be seen falling over the edge of the saw as the wind current drops, but 1t Is about as near as any one can get to seeing the wind under normal condi- tions.-Washingt Post.

LIGHT AND THE EYES.
Glaring or Dazzling Effects May Re-
 suit In Permanent In jury.

GIarine or Dazzling Effects May Re-
 suit In Permanent Injury.
 In paper read before the Interna tional Exposition of Safety and Sanita- tion in New York city G. II. Stickney called attention to the fact that the most common defect in lighting is ex- cessive glare and absence of diffusion. Glare may emanate directly from the light source or be reflected to the eye by glossy surface; it can also be caused wherever excessive contrast of intensity appears in adjacent fields of vision. The dazzling effect is unpleas- ant and interferes with seeing. Under continued exposure eye strain and even permanent injury to the eye may result
 An unshieded light hung over ma. chine is a common source of eye tigue. The glare may not be so dent on first glance, but when workman's eyes have been subject to such light for long time discom fort and inability to see result.
 Glare from glazed paper, desk tops or polished metal often induces eye trouble, headache and other indisposi- tion. though the sufferers may not be aware of the cause. The remedy is to change the relative positions so that the reflected light is kept out of the eyes as much as possible and to en. large the dimensions of the light source Engineering Record.

OLD ENGLISH HOUSES.
ln the Days of Wooden Huts, Thatchsd
 Roofs and Clay Floors.

The habitations of English common people for centuries consisted of wooden hut of one room, with the fire built in the center. To this hut, If man increased in family and wealth, lean-to was added and later another and another. The roofs were of thatch, the beds of loose straw or straw beds with bolsters of the same laid on the floor or perhaps eventually shut in by shelf and ledge like the berths of ship or by small closet.
 The Saxon thane or knight built a more prctentious "hall." large open room like the Roman atrium with a lofty roof matched or covered with slates or wooden shingles. In the cen ter of the hard clay floor burned great fires of dry wood, whose thin acrid smoke escaped from openings in the roof, above the hearth or by the doors. windows and openings under the caves of the thatch.
 By day the "hearthsmen" and visi- tors, when not working or fighting, sat on long benches on either side of the fire and, as John Hay puts 1t, "calmly drinked and jawed" or, gathering at long boards placed on trestles. regal ed themselves on some sort of porridge with fish and milk or meat and ale.
 At night straw or rushes spread on the floor formed beds for the entire company in the earlier and ruder days. when the "baser sort" were glad to share their straw with the cows.-Na- tional Magazine.

Wonderful Memory.

A few years ago there was team ster in Milwaukee named Israel Mullin who was able to tell at the end of the week the number of loads and their weights he had hauled for the six days past without so much as a figure on paper. It would have been useless to furnish him with paper and pencils, his memory was found to be unerring. He was dismissed once for using nquor too freely and a man appointed to his place who used pencil and paper. The first week the pencil and paper man made over a dozen errors. and Mullin got his job back.-Pittsburgh Press.

MEXICAN POTTERY.
Primitive Methods of the Skilled
 Workmen of Durango.

Primitive Methods of the Skilled Workmen of Durango.
 Practically all the pottery used in the Durango section of Mexico, from the tiniest teacup to the largest flower pot, is fashioned by hand from Duran. go clay. There are about twenty such factories in the city, employing from five to fifty men each. The clay used h this industry is obtained from the base of Durango's famous Iron Noun tain. one mile north of the city.
 The vessels are all fashioned by hand and foot power. The only instrument used is large wooden wheel, through the axis of which passes pole about three feet in length. terminating at the other extremity in small wooden wheel set parallel to the big wheel. The operator sits so that he may turn the large wheel (set horizontally lear the floor soc that it will move freely with his foot, which in turn causes the little wheel above, on level with his chest. to revolve very rapidly. A convenient sized lump of the clay dough is placed upon this little wheel. and as the mass revolves by the im- pulse of the laborers foot, he hollows out and fashions the vessel.
 The skill and dexterity of these work men is little short of remarkable With only the eye to guide. he fash ions with astonishing rapidlty vessels which do not differ one from the other in either size or shape. A single la borer is able to complete about thirty six dozen jars of nearly a quart ca pacity in a day. -Argonaut.

Ten Out of Ten Cures

1T will be remembered that emetine hy-
drochloride, the active principle Of
ipecac, was announced as specific
antidote against the entdmGba buccalis
the little am9ba whose pernicious ac-
tivities are chiefly instrumental in caus-
ing gums to bleed, pus to form around
the necks of teeth, and the teeth ulti-
mately to loosen and drop out-this in
addition to producing many grave sys-
temic conditions.
While emetine killed am9bas, it had
no specific action upon the pus-forming
germs; SO there were a certain number of
cases which, in spite of emetine and thor
ough scaling and cleaning of the teeth,
failed materially to improve. The per-
centage of the cases has been estimated
as approximately two out Of ten.
But now it is confidently believed that
we can cure ten out of ten, because we
have found drug of the oldest and
most respectable in medicine-that not
only kills entamRbas, but also, if properly
used, kills all other vegetable organisms.
This old drug is mercury.

am almost afraid to repeat the figure
$4,000. The amount may be exagger-
ated; but such business ability did that
tall young person show that she was really
worth fortune to the man of millions.
Perhaps the most highly developed fl
nancial occupation open to- women, but
one hardly known to the public,.is that
of expert special librarian. Banks, cor
porations, and brokers are using. special
libraries more and more. These libraries
have become valuable assets to their
owners, and the women in charge have in
several instances become almost as i'm
portant as the officers, and of course re-
ceive good salaries
In the case of the American Telephone
& Telegraph Company, the librarian set
about to select the fifty books that would
be most frequently used and would prove
most valuable to the thousands of en-
ployees of that concern. To make such
a selection requires high order of ability.
One of the most remarkable women in
this line of work is Miss Marian Glenn,
librarian of the American Bankers Asso-
citation. The members of this associa-
ton consist of bankers in all parts of
the country, and a request from MEM
Der for information on any phase of money
or banking at once brings from Miss
Glenn by return mail thick budget of
clippings, articles, and other material COW
ering exactly what is wanted. | suppose
Miss Glenn is really responsible for more
speeches at dinners and meetings of bank
ers than any other human being.
Miss Spencer, librarian Of the National
City Bank of New York, has built up the
largest financial library in this country.
She too, supplies detailed information on
any business or financial subject
There are many other women engaged
in similar work. The field is growing rap
idly, and the most interesting feature Of
it is that the work is being recognized
as vital and essential part of successful
business enterprises.

Can Loose Teeth Be Fastened?
By EDWIN F. BOWERS, MD.

DIR. Wright selected the succinimide of
mercury in his work, as larger doses of
this can be injected than of any other salt
of mercury. Also, it is readily soluble,
and does not cause much if any, tissue
change or irritation, when properly in
jected into the muscles.
When | talked with Drs. Wright and
White, last summer, they had treated
twenty-eight consecutive eases of pyor-
rh9a, every one of which was cured
in from four to forty-one days. The
average length of time required to per-
feet cure was fifteen days. The largest
number of injections required to cure
the pyorrhcea was six; the smallest, one;
while the average was two and seven
tenths.
OF these cases nine had systemic in
fection, probably caused by the condition
around the teeth Six of these were
chronic rheumatism, one chronic stomach
trouble, one chronic facial neuralgia, and
one laryngitis. These were all cured OF
everything that was the matter with them
by curing their gums.
The local treatment, given by DIR.
White, consisted in careful removal of
deposits and tartar from around the necks
of the teeth, extraction of utterly hope
less teeth and roots, polishing of the tooth
structure, and the application to the guns
of iodine, aconite, and chloroform.
DIR. Wright's treatment, it is needless
to say, must be given by competent
medical man. For disagreeable, painful,
or even dangerous results may follow
the administration of mercury at the
hands of an amateur, and where the kid
neys are involved the treatment should
not be given at all.
However, it seems quite certain that
another big advance in the preservation
of life and health has been made. And
not the least satisfactory part of it-as
with the discoverers of the original cure
for pyorrh9a-is that the men credited
with it are brother Americans.

Come time ago you wrote most interesting
- and helpful article on Rigg' disease. Are
there any new facts in this connection.
"ClNCE the discovery by Drs. Barrett
and Smith that the chief cause of
pyorrhea, Ga disease of the gums
is vegetable organism, and also that an
alkaloid derived from ipecac is a specific
poison against this parasite, thousands of
cases of pyorrhea have been cured.
Now, however, if the experiments OF
DIR. Barton Lisle Wright, surgeon of the
United States Navy, stationed at Ports
mouth, New Hampshire DIR. Paul
G. White, dental surgeon of the United
States Navy, are borne out by several thou
sand additional favorable experiences, an
even more radical means of stamping out
Riggs disease has been found.

What Opportunity for a Woman?
By ALBERT w. ATWOOD

7 HAVE noticed your articles, but l fail to
see what value they have to women except
those who have money to invest. All the
men meet seem to be interested In financial
subjects; but why should women be inter
ested when there is so little opportunity for
them? Is there anything woman can DO!
Mas. G. l.. b., Lansing, Michigan.
"HERE are real, live opportunities
for young women in financial work
opportunities that the public has
never heard of.
For the right sort of women big incomes
may be earned in life insurance. Recently
a woman was elected to an organization
of agents of one of the big companies to
which only the most successful are adj
mitted. 1t was the first time that dis
tinction ever went to a woman. A great
effort is being made by several of the
large companies to enlist women agents
for work among professional women and
those who have inherited large means.
Miss Marie Little heads an important
department of one of the big companies,
and is as full of her subject as any man.
Why Not Bond Saleswomen
TT is quite probable that field is about
to open up in the sale of bonds and
other investment securities. One of the
largest investment banking concerns in
New York recently opened department
for women clients, with one of their own
sex in charge. am quite sure that any
bright young woman who has mastered the
rudiments of finance-which she can
accomplish by means of correspondence
course or in night school-would not
have the slightest difficulty in finding an
investment dealer only too glad to pay her
good salary if she showed aptitude in
selling bonds.
