The problem confronting shippers: in the transporting of fruit and vege tables are many. Millions of barrels, crates and boxes ot every conceivable kind ore required for the purpose. In the great majority of cases these Uurrois, etc., are used but once, as the cost of returning them to the chipper la greater than the cost of new barrels. A New York man de signed a barrel that seems to have solved the problem, an Illustration of which is shown here. It is termed a Cnn be Taken Apart. "knockdown" and cnn be readily as sembled when desired and as readily disassembled when its contents have been removed. It can then be parked In a small space to facilitate trans portation. This barrel is made in two sections, preferably of sheet metal, and in form resembles the common type of barrel. The longi tudinal edges are divided into tongues, each alternate tongue hav ing double edges, forming recesses into which the interlocking tongues on the opposite section connect. Per fect Joints are thus provided, pre venting any damage to the barrel should it be handled carelessly in transportation. The circular heads of the barrel fit into grooves top and bottom on the outside of the barrel; fitting Into the grooves are bands of wire, both ends of which are connect ed to a lever. By turning the lever in the direction of the arrow in the illustration, the band contracts, causing the end of the barrel to con tract also . What the Kyes Tell. Steady, widely opened eyes that are not afraid to meet yours mean sincerity and honor. But the steady, glinting eyes that look through half closed lids at yon would indicate a cold and suspicious nature. Beware of the shifting, faltering eyes that always look away from you. Small eyes usually mean an alert mind. If they look straight out at you steady and bright, like a squirrel's, you may expect the right sort of cleverness, a quick tongue and a gift of repartee. But if the small eyes are more 11m and do not look straight Into yours, you may look for the wrong kind of cleverness, for little dishon esties and equivocations and for a business sharpness that is willing to sacrifice too much for a little money. Your large, tranquil "cow like" eyes, on the other hand, are less re sponsive than the alert, bright, little beady eyes, but once stir them to their depths and they will look in finitely more Intense and meaningful than the more impulsive eyes. Hound, protruding eyes show an ambitious nature and a love of ac-J tlon. The longer eyes show more the temperament of the dreamer. The most beautiful eyes In the world are clear (that indicates good health) and are set widely apart and rather deep. That width of settling always gives a certain expression of sweet spirituality. Aliotit That Crape Band. It is astonishing how many per sons, both men and women, who give every other Indication of culture and refinement, are seen on the streets nowadadys wearing crape bands on thir coat sleeves. This form of mourning was originally a military one, the British officer's cap, with its ridiculously low crown, not admit ting of a band. When be boasted a decoration the medal also was cov ered with crape. From the military the sleeve band descended to the coachman Bnd foot man, and has long been the recog nized servant's mourning when there was a death in the mas ter's family. Then the costermon- gers adopted it because it was cheap. When one of 'Arry's friends dies the pun-liuse of a black coat Is out of the question, so he puts the band of tnipe around the sleeve of his old coat and lets it go at that. The well-to-do New Yorker who unwittingly adopts this custom Is Cist cousin to the parvenu who In vests in a coiit of arms and picks out ono with a bar sinister because be thinks it looks Just the thing. The Elephant's Trunk. "The elephant's trunk," savs Dr. Ray Lankaster, "originated through 3 shortening of the lower Jaw.

The flrBt practical test of this de1 vice was during the late war with Spain, when it was employed to close rent mnde by a shell In the Iowa. The hole was about a foot above the water-line As soon as the stop per was Inserted the Inflow of water, which hud begun to flood the deck, ceased. The stopper consists of a rod ha Ing at oue end an iron plate, pivoted at the center so that it can be foU ed backward along the rod. To slop a leak, the rod carrying the plate Is first thrust outward through the hole; then a turn of the rod causes the plate, which Is weighted at one end, to become parallel to the side of the ship, and In this position it Is drawn back by tho rod so as more or less completely to cover the hole. Next a cellulose cushion ' is placed upon tho rod, and by the aid of a nut forced tightly against the inner side of the ship over the hole, so as en tirely to stop the leak. Stoppers of various sizes are carried, to suit the size of the hole that may have to be dealt with. Cost of Sunday Holiday. According to a Paris newspaper, it competent authority estimates that the yearly cost to the railroads of France of giving their workmen a day off each week will be from 6, 000,000 to JS. 000, 000. It will ftp re membered that the Sunday rest law, exempted the railroads from its pro visions, the intention being appar ently, to lake up the needs of rail road workmen nt a later Mme; but the rnilrouds conferred with each other and agreed to grant the sev euth day rest voluntarily. College Statistics. Figures concerning the students matriculated at Cornell in the last twenty years indicate that 4 2 per cent, have come from private schools and 58 per cent, from public schools. Of private school pupils 153 were dropped after the first term and 111 from public schools, and the per centage of failures among the public school graduates is much lower than those of private schools. Conse quently, the Cornell faculty favors withdrawing the privilege of admis sion by certfficate from private schools. Pulsations of a Watch. The lifetime of a good watch Is fifty years. In its dally duties the balance vibrates 18,000 times every hour, 432.000 times a day, or 157, 680,000 times a year. The hairspring makes a similar number of vibra tions and an equal number of ticks from the escapement. If it is a really good watch multiply 137.680,000 by 60, which gives 7,S84,000,000 pul sations for fifty Jears. The chances are that the watch may even then be In serviceable condition. Smoke Affects Physique. A London County Council Com mittee reports that the smoke of large towns like London and Man chester has a deteriorating effect upon the people's physique. The cmoke-ladcu atmosphere diminishes the vitality of those who habitually brentho it, und shortens their lives. The genius of the members of the committee was scarcely required to point out this obvious fuct. The Mohair Industry. Mohair is likely to become an Im portant product in the United States. At present, however, there are prob ably not more than 1,000,000 pounds of the substance grown here. It conies from the buck of the Angora goat, three or four pounds being se cured from each animal. Tho price varies from 25 cents to $1.25 a pound. Detecting Flaws in Metals. To detect hidden cracks opening from the surface of metals, the sur face Is first moistened with kero sene, and is then dried off with a cloth. It is then coated with chalk. After a little while the oil works out of the little cracks und stains the chalk. A sort of diagram of the hid den fissures and defects is thus pro duced. Freight Carrying on Rivers. A European river, forty feet wide, handles as much freight as an ordi nary American railroad, while the Rhine curries more business to a block than half the Hudson River. Snlendld tugboats, fine barires and handsome swift steamers do the work, with anchored chain boats to pull the big loads up the rapids. Women in Swiss Colleges. Iu six Swiss colleges no fewer than 2, la3 women are now studying. The majority of the enrolled female students are Russians. The women are most largely represented at Berne, where 4 SO are enrolled, al most all In the medical course. Lausanne has 3D!), Geneva 343, Zur ich 276 and Rasle 14. A Freak Tree.
