Smart Sailors Again.
Many a year since the plain mannish straw sailor hat en
joyed any great degree of popularity. Eight years agos we re
member, it was difficult to supply the demand, so urgent was it.
Unless all signs fail, history will repeat itselt this season. Ev
erything points to a revival, but the trouble is manufacturers are
unprepared. Every retailer in the land is clamoring for . sailor
hats, but there isn't enough to go around. With our usual
forethought we made preparations. Four dozen arrived a short
time ago, while ten dozen additional are in transit.

Bella Tell of Trouble on Railroads hi
Czar's Kmpire.
At every distance of one verst, or
two-thirds of a mile, along every
Russian railway, there Is a bell,
which is connected with the others
by an electric wire. These bells, or
gongs, were put up for the the pur
pose of giving two signals of distress
In winter; one signal was that of
"snowed up," and the other was
"help," "help!" During the summer
this signaling apparatus has not
been used much, and now they are to
give only one signal, namely, "bur
glars." When this signal Is given,
owing to the many attacks being
made on Russian railways and rail
way statious, the nearest telegraph
otllce has to give the alarm to the
two nearest stations, so that Tor a
distance of a few miles the entire
neighborhood can be surrounded by
troops and local policemen.
Work of limit Restorers.
Book restorers, as a rule, are most
Ingenious artists, and they can pro
duce an Imitation of a page of a rare
book which will deceive hundreds of
collectors. One particular restorer Is
known to have "doctored" over a
thousand old hooks during the last
two years, producing pages In fac
simile and supplying colophons or
decorated capitals. There is not a
thing wanting to make a book com
plete that this man cannot skilfully
"fake," nnd the market Is now being
fairly flooded with his productions.
Moving .a Lighthouse.
The feat of moving a lighthouse
without taking It apart or dismant
ling it In any way has recently beeu
accomplished at Ashtabula. The
range light, weighing 65 tones and
standing 65 feet high, was placed ou
a lighter and towed along t'.io river a
distance of 750 feet, and then suc
cessfully placed on a new site. It
was raised by the use of jacks ahd
moved on rollers to and from the
lighter. Guy ropes held it in position
while moving.

wis been a mystery that the stand

In these days of very long-range fir
ing. Invisible uniforms and visual

utmost importance to a good omccr,

Home of the Peanut.
Botanists have placed the home of
the peanut in Africa, but some au
thorities think it native to Brazil.
Louisiana .finds the Spanish variety
a small, but fine nut best adapt
ed to the climate of that State. The
"goober grabbers" of Georgia and
South Carolina like the small white
and red peanut of Tennessee, and
each years shows an increasing cul
tivation In those states of that va
riety. Florida's Pestiferous Ants.
Anyone who is acquainted with
the insect life of Florida will remem
ber the ubiquitous ant; and now
comes the alarm sounded In the En
tomological News that several varie
ties of tropical ants have been dis
covered In Florida and Alabama, be
ing recent Introductions. One of
these, which is an especially destruc
tive pest, feeds on either vegetable
or animal substances.
Japanese "Incense Parties."
"Incense parties" were a common
feature of old Japan. Each of the
guests had a little furnace, a small
wooden box, packed with sand. On
the top of this a small charcoal fire.
Each woman in turn burned some in
cense and the others had to guess
what it was. After every burning the
windows were thrown open the
room was cleared for the next ex
periment. Saving a Coal Hill.
Paris pays to foreign countries
$25,000,000 a year for coal. There is
a project on foot of saving at least
$4,000,000 of this by conveying elec
tric power for light, heat and motor
purposes from the River Rhone, by
damming It near the falls of Belle
grade, and thus securing a fall 65
meters high, which would mean
100,000 horse power.
Losing His Nationality.
The London Mail mentions a fact
that even a good many Germans do
not know, viz., that the German
emigrant keeps his German national
ity for only ten years; after that, un
less he has registered himself at a
German consulate or embassy In the
country to which he has emigrated,
he automatically ceases to belong to
the Fatherland.
Mechanical Stokers.
A machine that will hurl coal Into
the firebox of a locomotive at the
rate of 200 shovelfuls a minute, if
necessary, will lighten the labor of
the fireman on many of the engines
of the Northwestern road. An order
has been placed for 700 of these me
chanical stokers, at a cost of $350,'
000.
Weight Carried by Camels.
A camel can easily carry a weight
of 1,000 pounds on its back, about
four times as much as a horse can
carry. The camel begins work at the
age of four is useful for half a cen
tury. The horse, as a rule. Is nearly
played out at the age of fifteen.

Scicntflo Explanation of Melody's
Effects a Possibility.
The marvelous effects that are
sometimes produced by music may,
states a prominent scientist, event
ually receive a scientific explanation.
In a recent report Professor Mc
Kendrlck said thut, while the Intri
cate connection of the auditory
nerve Is only Just being unraveled, it
is probable that the roots of those
nerves are more widely distributed
and have more extensive connections
than those of any other nerves in the
human body.
Researches on the auditory nerves
indicate that there is scarcely a
function of the body that may not be
affected by the pulsations and har
monic combinations of musical toues.
, Irevalenee of Suicide.
The Clvllta Cntholica draws a dis
tressing and melancholy picture of
the suicide epidemic in Kurope. The
author attributes this to the loss of
faith. The figures are calculated to
establish that in the Protestant
countries suicides are more numer
ous than in the others. While in
Spain and Ireland a decrease Is no
ticed. Denmark and Prussia show
an Increase. Within the last thirty
years not less than 1,000,000 sui
cides have been committed lh Ku
rope, and in this total Germany
alone figures with 300,000.
Thoroughbreds of To-Day.
The thoroughbred, thanks to our
Incessant overraclng and abuse of Its
representatives under the shallow
pretense of "Improving the breed of
horses," has become a cripple, often
at birth, nearly always at two years
years old; a nervous . rattlepate,
slight of physique and erratic of
manners. As a progenitor of harness
horses he is so prepotent that he
controls both action and conforma
tion; as a saddle horse or hunter he
Is too light, too unsound, and too
crack-brained. Country Life In
America.
Itesembles Napoleon.
E. H. Harrlman, the n.ilroad man
ager and financial power, is said to
be the closest parallel to Napoleon
Bonaparte that lives before the pub
lic eye to-day. In stature he is
small. He is slight and docs not
look strong. He generally wears
loose-fitting clothes and carries his
hands in his coat pockets. He Is very
quick of movement, also of mind,
restless, full of energy, critlcnl of
detail, exacting, autocratic. He Is,
like James J. Hill, moody and not a
particularly pleasant neighbor when
the mood is that way.
Penalty of llsoledience.
A correspondent writing from Pe
kln says that the Empress Dowager,
learning that her imperial edict Is
sued several years ago culling upon
Chinese fathers and ipotliers to stop
the custom of binding their daugh
ters' feet was not being obeyed as
universally as a special imperial
edict ought to be, evinced considera
ble ire at the news, with the result
that several grand councillors, who
were present at the time, under
went a disagreeable quarter of an
hour at her majesty's hands.
Tree Supplying Water.
A species of tree is found growing
on an island off the coast of Africa,
the condensing power of the leaves of
which furnishes the sole water sup
ply of the island. In the forests of
Washington State and British Co
lumbia trees have also been observed
which drip copiously through the
night, and until 10 or 11 o'clock the
following morning, when the flow
gradually ceases, enly to begin again
at or near sunset.
Preferred Women Cooks.
Some of the most famous diners,
of whom the late Sir Henry Thomp
son was not the least, have held that
a first-rate woman cook is the supe
rior of any "chef" that ever drew
his thousands a year. Half the non
sense that is talked nbout "chefs"
andhalf the money that is paid them
flow from the determination of plu
tocratic persons to get rid of large
sums In a manner that is pretty sure
to bo talked about.
Concentrates Sun's Kays.
There is an apparatus which con
centrates the rays of the sun from
more than 6,000 small mirrors on a
spot about seven Inches in diameter.
The heat generated is about 7,000
degrees Fahrenheit. Iron can be
melted In less than, a minute and
fire clay fused in about three min
utes by this machine. Magnesia, one
of the hardest things to melt, requir
ing a heat of about 6,4 00 degrees
Fahrenheit, canbe melted in twenty
minutes.
Laying the Illume.
An English physician points out
that doctors are sometimes blamed
for the death of patients under
chloroform, when the catastrophe Is
due entirely to the parents or
friends, who Ignore the strict orders
not to give any food before the
operation, and by administering
milk, eggs, an orange, or chocolate,
"to fortify him for the operation,"
bring on fatal complications.
An Ingenious lleacon.
An Ingenious beacon is located at
Arnlsh rock, Stornoway bay, In the
Hebrides, Scotland. It Is a cone of
cast iron plates, surmounted by an
arrangement of prisms and a mir
ror which reflect the light from a
lighthouse on Lewis Island, 600 feet
distant across the channel.
