GERMAN WATERS
FOLD NAPKINS
81 VARIED WAYS

BERLIN, June 12.-The ability to
fold table napkins in 81 different
ways is one of the many accomplish
ments a German waiter has to ac-
quire before he can call himself a
fully trained man.
The best training schools for wait
ers is one in Berlin. 1t was founded
in 1892 and here dozens of pupils
are being taught the art of laying
the table, carving and serving fault
lessly.
Due regard is paid to all the nice
ties of the art of serving, which
prescribes, for instance, that the edge
of the plate must lie half an inch
inside the edge of the table-no
more and no less. The curriculum,
which requires about eight weeks, in
cludes short course of law as af-
fecting hotel and restaurant keepers
and their servants.
The claim is made that old cienema
films that have been reduced to the
scrapping point by hard usage can
be rejuvenated again and again. The
process has been invented by Fried
rich j. j. Stock, Munich chemist.
Old films are first cleaned by an
ingenious mechanical brushing ap-
paratus, giveni an oil bath and then
subjected to- complicated chemical
treatment from which they emerge
free from all scratches and blem-
ishes and with their original clear
ness fully restored.
New films subjected to the same
process gain 800 per cent in clear
ness, and the life of a reel may be
prolonged to 100 years, Herr Stock
claims. b
The present machinery deals with
about five. thousand feet of film an
hour and the cost of the whole re-
juvenation process is about one cent
per foot, or, used for new films, half
a cent per meter.
Future generations will be able
to see their grand parents and great
grand parents on the film as clearly
and distinctly as in life Herr Stock
declares

In his annual report the CHIEF
sanitary inspector of Invernesshlre'
Scotland, after an investigation at
the request of "a large number OF
taxpayers who had complained of dis
agreeable odors, says the curing
of whale flesh for human consump-
ton has been carried on by residents
of the Island of Harris for some
time.
It appears, says the inspector, that
,, the industry was inaugurated by the
late Lord Leverhulme, or Lever
brothers, which firm has fishing and
other interests in many parts of the
world.
The inspectors report explains that
the work is done at the herring cur
ing station at Leverburgh, where the
meat is cut into small pieces, wash
ed and picked, afterward being
hung on frames and dried by me-
chanical power. When thoroughly
dry the whale meat is packed under
pressure in kegs and exported to the
congo for feeding natives working
for the Lever company.
The rare find of red diamond OF
considerable value is reported from
Kimberley, South Africa. 1t was
found on the Alluvial river diggings.
This species of stone is very un-
usual and is likely to fetch anything
from 12O to $50 pounds a carat.
The cutting of the stone has been
placed in the hands of a local firm,
and although the accomplishment of
this has proved of some difficulty,
the result will be that a flawless
stone of about six carats will be
produced.
The gem, at first glance, might
be taken by the uninitiated to be
ruby of gigantic proportions, as it is
an entirely red stone, without
blemish of any kind. Closer inspec-
| tion, however, reveals that it pos
sesses all the requisite properties of
the true diamond, the grain being
absolutely similar.

consist of the division of harbors and

Working together. the commission
would run the proposed line and then

both legislatures had ratified the
agreement the matter would then sc

Residents in the part of the towns

they receive little benefit from the

that they were more closely associat-
