New Scientific Achievement.


The production of resistances for
electric heating is a new application
of the Schoops metal-squirting pistol.
1t is the resistance of metal conduc.
tors to the passage Of the current that
produces electric heat, and q common
form of resistance is fine spiral wire
Of copper, nickel and manganese on q
heat-resisting base. In the Prometheua
resistance, very thin films of the noble
metals are deposited on mica by .
special process. The squirting pistol
uses any kind of metal and projects
the finely divided particles with such
velocity that they form q coherent
coating on the body they strike. At
works in Zurich resistances are made
with thick or thin films Of metal on
q foundation of earthenware, clay OF
slate. The metal may be projected In
zigzag upon this base, but the plan
seems to be preferred Of covering the
entire surface and then fusing away
by electric current q certain portion
OF the coating. The zigzag conductor
forms a very efficient resistance. For
ordinary heating, such alloys AZ con
stantan, German silver and combina-
ton of chromium and nickel are suit
able. and for the temperatures re-
quired in the laboratory. platinum or
iridium may be used.

Grievances.

The most trifling thing IL enough to
breed q kind of vague uncomfortable
feeling, which waxing daily more and
more grievous, and fostered on all
manner of real or imaginary disgusts.
at length ends in thorough alienation.
An intolerable law has been satisfac-
torily established, which produces
sweats and tinges and wincings for
months and years after. And friend
ship that has perished in this way
scarcely ever comes to life again. A
friend lost by excessive heat may cas-
lily be restored. but IL you have lost him
by an excessive coolness Of slow and
seemingly inexplicable growth. the
chances are strong against a renewal
of the old liking. This reflection alone
might make men more careful than
they are about opening the tiniest hole
to a feeling of aggrievedness- 1t II
the letting out Of waters which may
probably never be gathered In again.

Papa chuckled. you bet she is.

CHICAGO GRAIN.

CHICAGO, May 13.--Anxiety in re-
gard to Hessian fly damage. especially
in Kansas. had a decided bullish effect
today on wheat. AS a result, the mar
vance. with July I17S and Septem-
ber 1.17bah. Corn finished La3s to
3sa12 up: oats unchanged to isaL
higher. and provisions at gain OF
~ to 90.
According to a well known authority,
the apparent sudden breakdown of the
Kansas wheat crop promise was almost
entirely due to Hessian fly, rather than
to drought. This opinion seemed to
have much greater influence on specu-
lators than did showers in parts OF
Kansas and Nebraska. or did predic-
tions of further moisture in sections
where dry weather has been the sub
ject of serious complaint. A moderate
early decline in prices was accordingly
of short duration, the market for the
rest of the day showing unmistakaoie
signs of strength, The fact that the
rains had not fallen in the chief pro-
palpable hindrance to the bears.
Evidence of liberal sales here for
export. the first instance in long
while that such sales have been con-
sumated. gave increased firmness to
the wheat market late in the session
1t was said in this connection that two
foreign governments were after wheat
at the seaboard, and that heavy clear
ances were expected next week.
Seaboard demand included corn as
well as wheat. The corn market was
bullishly affected also by lightness of
receipts and by rains. that caused de-
Law to planting.
Highest hog prices this season were
mainly responsible for an advance In
provisions. Lard received the bulk Of
attention. as there were reports of hic
purchases for Belgium. The week
shipments of lard and meats exceeded
the corresponding totals of a year ago
