Women as Architects.

In every line of work women are
coming forward with proofs of their
ability, but In no profession is this
advancement so noticeable as that
of architecture. By way of exam
pie, the prize given by the Boston
Society of Architects for the best
architectural design submitted by a
graduate of the Massachusetts, Insti-
tute of Technology was won by Miss
Ida Ryan, who is the first woman to
secure this prize. AS further proof
of the recognition that is being ac-
corded her, Miss Ryan attended this
year banquet of the Boston Society
of Architects This was the first
time that a woman has been SO
honored.

Smallest Current Coin.

The smallest coin now current in
Europe and the one having the least
value, is the Greek lepton The lep-
monetary system, current in all
countries belonging to the Latin
union. Some idea of this valueless
little disk of copper may be gath
cred from the fact that the lepton
is the one-hundredth part of a
drachma The Greek drachma usu-
ally passes for the same value that a
franc piece does; that is, It is about
equal to 20 cents of our money.

Photography has caught the fast
est express train in motion by
means of the cinematograph, and it
also shows the growth of a flower.
A bud which bursts into bloom in,
say, sixteen days is exposed to a
camera every fifteen minutes dur
ing the sixteen days, and when the
pictures developed from the films
are assembled in order in the NOV
ing picture machine the observer
may see to his delight, all in a
minute or two, the gradual break
ing of the bud-the blossoms open,
close by night and reopen in the
morning, the leaves grow under the
eye. the stamens peep from cover,
and, finally, the full-blown flower.

Deaths From Poisoned Flour.

According to a recent Issue of a
Chinese newspaper, upward of forty
deaths have taken place lately in
the vicinity of Annoy through NOR
phine poisoning. The drug, which
is subject to heavy duty, had been
struggled into the port and slowed
amid shipment OF -four. By some
mischance some OF the packages
were broken open and the drug thus
became mixed with the -four. When
the -four was landed, instead of be-

the persons who used 1t were pois-

himself being denied the normal en-
joyments Of his companions, more
than fear is needed to restrain him.
Either he deceives the parents

goes his own way-an uncertain

So the parents who hoped to keep
