Getting Bigger Every Year—Ovens Out Under the Street. e In recently built hotels the kit- chen is a space about 150x200 feet, floored with red tiles. The walls where exposed are tiled in white. The ceiling is 14 feet high. At the entrance is the chef's office, and near him the principal refrig- erator for the storage of meat. Along one side are from fifty to 100 lineal feet of ranges adapted to coal, gas and charcoal. In front of these are the cooks’ tables, in the steel tops of which are sinks, bainsmarie and steam tables. Underneath are steam plate warm- ers. Above the cooks’ heads are racks, on which is hung a pictur- esque array of copper pots, skillets, saucepans and kettles, and above this again is the elaborate system of ventilating ducts which carry off the smoke and odor from every appli- ance where heat is generated. Near the main kitchen and about one-half its size, says Indoors and Out, is the soup and roasting depart- ment, provided with stock, soup and grease boilers and an oven for roast- ing fowl or large joints of meat. Such an oven in one of the new ho- tels has a capacity of 1,000 pigeons or 300 chickens or sixteen large ribs of beef. The boilers are huge copper af- fairs, double jacketed, and some of the spits for roasting meats are turned by electricity. This depart- ment contains its own refrigerator, in which ig kept all uncooked food prepared here. ; Sandwiches and salads, for exam- ple, are prepared near the garde manger. Coffee urns and roll warm- ers, griddle and waffle ranges, toast- ers and egg boilers must be where their products can be most conveni- ently delivered to the room above. The kitchen should not be re- moved more than one floor from the dining room, grill room or cafe to be served. Dumbwaliter communication is unpracticable, as it cools the food. The human waiter must have free access to the kitchen, and so speedy that he shall spend the greatest pos- gible time in the dining room within call of patrons. ' Having dropped his written order in a tube, he must go to the proper place in the kitchen to obtain it when prepared. On his way to the ranges he should pass the counter, near the kitchen entrance, where bread and relishes are supplied, for he must be placing these before his customer while the fish or meat is being cooked. i As he starts up the stairway he must pass the checker, who places the price upon whatever he is sorv- ing. For salads he must be abl- to reach the salad department - ith equal ease. For wines and liquors he must go to the bar of the kitchen. Whatever number of stories a ho- tel displays above the street, the business of the enterprise goes on in those below the pavement, and so hard pressed is the city hotel for space that every foot the laws allows the owner to reach under the side- walk is eagerly seized. Latest Letter Stamp. A letter stamper has been invent- ed by a Norwegian named Krag, and has been introduced into the German post office. It is driven by electricity and can stamp 108,000 letters an hour. One man can stamp 1,800 in a minute. i Wild Geese on Migration. ' At the end of March or during the first week in April all the gray geese in the Outer Hebrides collect in one place before taking their de- parture for their nesting haunts within the Aretie Circle. To estimate their number is im- possible, and to behold this vast concourse of geese is ofie of the sights of a lifetime. The vast host of birds stands packed together in a huge phalanx till the king of the graylegs starts the flight. As the old leader ascends a hundred thousand voices salute him, but none stirs till from overhead he gives the call for his subjects to follow him. Some fifty birds rise in the air and follow him, and as they go gradually assume the wedgelike formation, with three single birds in a string at the apex of the triangle, and fn a few minutes are out of sight. When they have been fairly Sisfieg the king returns, and after a few min- utes rest he rises into the air again and the same process is gone through before he leads off another batch. Again and again he returns untfl all are gone but 800 old veterans, which rise to meet him in the air as he files hack to them. Then, With theif sovereign at their head, these also wing their way toward the Pols, not to return until the followink October. HOW MEERSCHAUM IS MINED. Where It Is Founl—Process of Mak- ing It Into Pipes. Despite our familiarity with meer- schaum, as used in pipes, it i= safe to say that few of us have more than a vague idea of the peculiar properties of this substance, or the condition in which it occurs in nature, says the Scientific American. The ancients be- lieved the substance to be petrified seafoam, hence the German name Meerschaum, meaning seafoam; and a very apt name it is, for the mineral is very white and so light that it will float when dry. Pleces of meer- schaum have been found floating in the Black Sea which were evidently washed out of their matrix by the waves. This may also have had its influence on the seafoam theory of its formation. Meerschaum is found in best qual- ity and most abundant quantity in Asia Minor, though it also occurs in Greece, Spain, Moravia and Moroe- co, and even in this country in South Carolina. The richest mines are on the plains of Eskishehr, 250 miles southeast of Constantinople. One of these mines is sald to be a thousand years old, and consists of about two thousand pits within an area of six miles, all but about 150 of which have been exhausted. The mineral occurs fn nodules or lumps of va- rious and irregular sizes, buried in the alluvial deposit of the plain. An- other mine comprises 8,000 pita, only 100 of which are being worked. The material is mined by the in- habitants of the surrounding vil- lages and transported in the rough to Eskishehr. The meerschaum is soft when mined, but soon hardens when exposed to the air. For this reason the lumps are roughly scraped off at first and then laid aside to dry. When dry they are subjected to a thorough scraping and cleaning, and are finally waxed and polished. The lumps are new sorted according to size in four classes and packed in boxes. In this condition the meerschaum is shipped to the pipe manufacturers. In a meerschaum pipe factofy the larger pieces are cut with a band saw to a convenient size, after which the meerschaum is soaked in water until it becomes quite soft. Meer- schaum when wet becomes very soapy, and will produce quite a lather if rubbed. In fact, the mate- rial serves as a very good substitute for soap, and is thus used in Moroc- co. Meerschaum dust makes an ex- cellent cleaning powder for remov- ing spots from fabrics. After being thoroughly soaked, the meerschaum can be cut like cheese, and it is then roughly shaped with a knife to the form of a pipe. When dry the bowl and stem shanks are drilled, and then, if the pipe is of a plain pattern, it is turned on a lathe to the desired form. If a square stem shank is de- sired, it is shaped with a fille. The shank 1s now shouldered and thread- ed to receive the amber stem piece. These stems are cut from plates of solid amber, most of which is im- po" ‘ed from Germany. .mber occurs in many parts of Europe and America, but in largest quantity along the coast of Ger- many. This fossil gum is found in lumps or grains and is melted at 550 degrees F. and refined. There are two qualities of amber, the transparent and the opaque or cloudy, the latter being much tough- er and, therefore, more serviceable. The pipe stems, after being tooled out, are bent to the required shape. They are first immersed in ofl and heated until they lose much of their brittleness. Then they are held over an alcohol flame and bent as desired. The threaded ends of the stems are protected while bending by an ar- bor screwed therein. The pipes are now carefully gemoothed with pieces of American rush, or shave grass. The stem of the grass, owing to the natural de- posit of silica, has a fine roughness which perfectly adapts it for this service. After the pipes have been properly finished with the rush, they are immersed in melted wax for a short time, depending on the density of the meerschaum, and then they are given a high polish with chalk precipitate. Meerschaum is an excellent mate- rial for artistic carving, and some carved tobacco pipes are perfect gems of art. In the selection of a meerschaum pipe, one should be careful not to pick a dead white specimen. That which is of a slight creamy color will soonest take on that beautiful rich yellow brown shade which so de- lights the smoker. Nor should the meerschaum be too light, as that is an indication that it is too porous to color properly, while on the other hand a very heavy meerschaum may be almost too dense to absorb the coloring nicotine. A great many so-called meer- schaum pipes are madefromartificial meerschaum, a material composed of the chips and dust of meerschzum bonded with some solution and moulded into blocks. The artificial prnduct is somewhat heavier than the genuine. There are still other ways of imitating meerschaum, and a novice will find much difficulty in successfully selecting a . genuin® meerschaum pipe of good quality.

The tribulations of the conductors on the elevators in the state, war and navy building are many, says the New York Sun. There is as much etiquette on one of these vars on a busy day as one would find at one of the big dinners at the White House, The approach of the Secretary of State, of War, of the Navy in the direction of one of these “lifts” fis signaled by a peculiar clapping of the hands by all the messengers or vet- erans who guard the aproaches to the building. So, at the seunds of ‘“‘three bells’ on the push button (a secretary call), tor, be he an admiral or a general, the lever ig reversed, down or up it goes, as the indicator reads, and the secretary is carried at once to the floor of his destination for there is no stopping at the floors to take on or let off anybody else. Now comes the time when the keen discretion of the conductor— his remembrance of faces and his knowledge of ranks of army and navy officers and their precedence— is brought into play. For instance, on the day of the funeral of a well known general, the building was alive with officers in full dress uniform on their way to St. John’s church to attend the cere- monies. A major of cavalry from Fort Myer, Va., having business at the quartermaster’s department, was on the elevator and was being shot up to the third floor, when ‘‘three bells’ announced the @etretary of War at the ground floor. Down went the elevator. The secretary and the major saluted and before the salu- talon was over ‘‘two bells’ rang, meaning that an officer of high rank wished to ride in a jiffy. The secretary, of course, was *‘it,” and was first ushered out at the see- ond floor. Then up flew the elevator to the fourth floor, to answer the “two bells,” to take on a brigadier general who desired to descend to the street floor. More saluting by the major. Down shot the elevator. The brigadier departed, and the ma- Jor, who had been carried past his destination twice, now breathed a sigh of relief, but just then ‘‘two bells’ rang again on the second floor, and this time the chief of staff, with the rank of lieutenant general, got aboard, and down the major went again, salute and all. After the chief of staff went, the ever polite conductor, turning to the junior officer, and observing his rank and insignia, said, ‘‘Major, what floor, please?” “The third, please,” replied the belated officer, ‘“but the next time I want it I'll walk.” An Alluring Bait. Among the recent advances in the construction of lures for game fishes nothing has been more conspicuous than the fact that the best method of getting. the quarry was to make something that the fish really want- ed. Now a frog is practically irre- sistible to any well-conditioned bass, and especially a good lively frog that goers Kicking down the lake or the river fairly daring the attention of the bass. The most lifelike bait put on the American market is the new Swimming Frog, which wonderfully simulates the appearance and ‘he motion of the live frog. Made of rub- ber with hooks that are concealed in the legs of the lure, and so located that when drawn through the water weeds are not caught in the hooks either at the time that the legs are extended or drawn together, it is hard for the critical angler to think of any way in which this most in- genious and perfect lure could be improved. The Name Porcelain. In the natural progress of nations and the development of trade, porce- lain was brought from China to Eu- rope, and various legends were cur- rent as to its origin. Magic proper- ties were attributed to it, as, for in- stance, that a porcelain cup would immediately burst if poison were poured into it. It was said to be com- posed of plaster, eggs, the shells of “marine locusts” and the like, and this suggests the origin of the word porcelain. The Portuguese word por- cella means “little pig,’' and a cer- tain shell, being shaped like a hog’s back, was named porcelana. This shell was used to some extent in the arts by being carved Into cameos and personal ornaments. These be- came porcelana wares, and when the new production became known, its likeness to the shell work was rec- ognized. The new material thus ac- quired the French name porcelaine, or, in English, porcelain.
