French Device for Better Protection
of War Vessels.
Among the many Inventions tend
ing to the better protection of war
vessels la one of French origin called
Colome's stopper.
The first practical test of this de
vice was during the late war with
Spain, when It was 'employed to close
a rent made 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 had begun to flood the deck,
ceased.
The stopper consists of a rod hav
ing at one end Bit iron plate, pivoted
at the center so that it can be fold
ed backward along the rod. To atop
a leak, the rod currying the plate Is
first thrust outward through the
holer then a turn of the rod causes
the plate, which la weighted at one
end, to become parallel to the side of
the ship, and In this position it la
drawn back by the rod so as more or
less completely to cover the hole.
Next a cellulose cushion is placed
upon the 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 $S, 000, 000. It will fte re
membered that the Sunday rest low,
exempted the railroads from Its pro
visions, the intention being appar
ently, to take up the needs of rail
road workmen at a later time; but
the railroads conferred with each
other and agreed to grant the sev
enth day rest voluntarily.

What the Eyes Tell.
Steady, widely opened eyes
are not afraid to meet yours
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
oyes that always iook away irom
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
Jim and do not look Btraight 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 cf ac
tion.
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.
About 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
thlr 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. hen he boasted a
decoration the medal also was cov
ered with crape.
From the military the sleeve band
descended to the coachman and 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
purchase of a black coat is out of
the question, so he puts the band of
crape 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
first cousin to the parvenu who In
vests In a coat of arms and picks out
otin with a bar sinister because be
thinks it looks just the thing.
The Elephant's Trunk.
"The elephant's trunk," says Dr.
Ray Lankaster, "originated through

College Statistics
Figures concerning the students
matriculated at Cornell in the Inst
twenty years indicate that 42 por
cent, have come from private Bchools
and 58 per cent, from public schools.
Of private school pupils 153 wore
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 daily duties the
balance vibrates 18,000 times every
hour, 432,000 times a day, or 157,-
6S0.00O times a year. The hairspring
makes a similar number of vibra
tions and an equal number of ticks
from the escapement. If it js a really
good watch multiply 137.680,000 by
BO, which gives 7,884,000,000 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
Diuoke-Indeu atmosphere diminishes
the vitality of those who habitually
breatho 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
comes from the back of the Angora
gout, three or four pounds being se
cured from each animal. Tho price
varies from 25 cents to $1.25 a
pound.
Detecting Flaws hi Metals.
To detect hidden cracks opening
from the surface of metals, the stir-
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 and stains the
chulk. 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 ordl
nary American railroad, while the
Rhine carries more business to a
block than half the Hudson River,
Splendid tugboats, fine barges and
handsome swift steamers do the
work, with anchored chain boats to
pull the big louds up the rapids.
