A Cooks Accidental Discovery.

One Of the best ways of cooking
potatoes was accidentally discovered
through the unpunctuality of train.
When the line from Paris to st. Ger
main was opened the first train carried
an official party for whom lunch was
ordered. The meal was fixed for noon,
and shortly before that hour the pota-
toes were put on to fry. A few minutes
afterward a message came that the
train would probably be- delayed for an
hour, so the potatoes were taken OF
the fire, but left in the pan. Then came
a second message, Train just arriv-
ing" and the potatoes were hurriedly
put back to fry again. When the party
sat down to lunch the potatoes were
brought on with the steak. Each chip
was then found to be blown out like q
small, crisp, golden balloon, to the de-
light Of the guests. The cook without
knowing it had invented pommes de
terre souffies.

A TWELVE INCH GUN.
It Takes III Miles Of Steel Tape to
Make the Jacket.

It Takes III Miles Of Steel Tape to
Make the Jacket.
According to the Mitigate Monthly,
no fewer than 1T miles of steel wire
are wound on twelve inch gun that
weighs thirteen and half tons. In
appearance this wire, which is Of the
same quality as piano wire, resembles
tape. It is quarter of an inch wide
and tenth Of an inch thick. It is
tested to breaking strength of 10
tons. The wire unwinds from a reel
as the gun barrel revolves, and ten
sion of about fifty tons to the square
inch insures mechanical accuracy in
wrapping it round the gun.
Various parts Of the gun receive diff
ferent thicknesses of wire. At the
breech of a twelve inch gun, where the
chief strain comes, there are ninety-two
layers, which give thickness Of nine
and a half inches Of wire, but at the
muzzle there are only fourteen layers.
Over the wire the gunmakers shrink on
steel rings at white heat. When they
cool they contract and grip with i'm
mense force The rifling Of the barrel
is an automatic process, an example OF
wonderful mechanical ingenuity. When
the gun is finished experts test the ac-
curacy of the rifling with plastic gutta-
percha.

SCHOOLGIRLS AS HEROINES.
Apparently They Are Considered Only
by American Authors.

Apparently They Are Considered Only
by American Authors.
Scott never mentions a schoolgirl,
says H. D. Sedgwick in the Atlantic.
Imagine Thomas Hardy fashioning a
schoolgirl out of Wessex clay or George
Meredith venturing to describe Diana
of the Crossways in those early years.
Arnold Bennett would have created a
little miniature old wife. as Van Eyck
and Memling paint babies like min1a-
ture old men. H. G. Wells would depict
her as incipient temptation to lead Mr..
Britling, for instance, into one OF q
dozen romantic adventures.
Galsworthy would try to fit her into
an ethical system, into niche of So
cial justice or matrimonial ventures.
Mr. Howells, one may imagine, might
have essayed the task, but he would
have tried to meet the difficulty Of get
ting the right yalues-as painter dabs
blues on yellows to make a green-by
adding to primness reminiscent Of
the .'Vicar of Wakefield" a few deli
cate hoydeniSh touches.
AS there is no such thing as school
girl on the continent, French and Ital-
ian novelists do not mention her. In
deed, the schoolgirl, as we see her, is
an American product and mSdern.

PR0N0UNClNG WORDS.
A Test and a FIippant Fling at the
Critic and His Theory,

Critic and His Theory.
Comes now another to trouble us in
these days when the wayfarer has al
ready enough bothers to keep him from
lingering overlOng in his humble re-
pose 1t is man who has discovered
that there are 25,OOO English words
more or less commonly mispronounced
and who would show us how to rescue
ourselves from the disgrace.
By way Of illustration he challenges
all corners to try to pronounce Offhand
such words as actinism, archimandrite,
batman,1 beaufn, bourgeois, brewer,
buoy, deny, fugleman, fusil, oboe, row.
lock, tassel,I vase and velleity. He in
Inmates that anybody who can give
them all correctly can qualify as 300
hitter in the pronunciation league, but
still has long way to go before he
reaches perfection.
But what Of it? An oboe sounds as
sweet whether one calls it an oh-bow
or an oh-boy. If the writer Of this
article told his printer to set it in boor-
zhwah type the printer probably would
call meeting of the chapel and insist
on strike vote. You can call it vase
or vawze, but it takes dime to get it
filed, where it used to cost only 5
cents. AS to DENY and velleity, most
of us have got along very well for a
good many years without writing or
speaking either of them and hope to
struggle along the same way at least
until we have little rest from worry
over the high cost Of potatoes.
The hardest thing about it is to de-
termine which of several schools Of
pronunciation is most desirable-the
London, the Melbourne, the Canadian,
the Texas, the Massachusetts,, the Ala
bama, the Georgia or the Missouri.
Moreover, If $4,000 words are mispro-
nounced most of us are democratic
enough to let the majority rule and be
willing to make it unanimous. - ST.

Physical Examinations.
There is side to the whole problem
Of physical examination which is very
important am interested in physical
examinations, not to shut meH out Of
work, but to use them more iItelli-
gently and to give them a proper
chance. Oftentimes employers and the
men affected do not know that some
thing has gone wrong with an en-
ployee. There was one concern that
Gid not care two straws about phys
ical examinations and would not pay
any attention to the question. One
day an elevator man took up a party
of investors who were going to board
meeting in the establishment. He was
seized with heart disease right between
the floors, but fortunately the elevator
stopped itself by the rarest good for
tune. The executives Of the plant now
agree that physical examinations are
no idle luxury. Men owe it to them
selves, the company owes it to itself.
and the company owes it to its en-
ployees to have such examinations

Tomatoes For Seed.

Many persons save the first tomato
that ripens for seed, and they think
they are doing the right thing. The
very earliest tomatoes to- ripen are net
as sweet and solid as those ripening
from q week to two weeks later. The
best plan in saving the tomato for seed
is to select the more uniform, medium
size, which ripel evenly and quickly a
little while after the plant has been
producing ripe fruit. Seeds saved from
tomatoes grown on moderately thin soil
win retain the good qualities better
than those saved from, plants which
were forced by very rich soil.-Phila-
de4phia North American.
