CRIMINALS AND OFFSPRING.

Reasnns G!vn for Negative.
It Is a curious fact one at variance .

Criminals nro ever alert to keop
their children from adopting similar
lives. The rage of old, ugly Mother
Mandelbnum, the famous receiver of
stolen goods, was frightful when she
found that her daughter, whom she
had been at unstinted expense to edu
cate, had secretly married "Sammy,
the Jew" (Koehler), a thlof with
whom tho old criminal had long trad
ed. She disinherited tho girl, and a
flock of relatives were the benefici
aries of her Ill-gotten money. In her
Chatham square headquarters Mother
Mandelbnum maintained a room
where thieves could smoke and drink,
but sho felled with a bronze lamp a
pickpocket who attempted one night
to Invade the private parlor where she
was overseeing her daughter's French
studies. Everybody's Magazine.
White Lead.
White lead Is a name npplled to
hydrated basic carbone of lead used
In the manufacture of paints. "It usu
ally forms a heavy white mass made
up, as shown by microscopic examina
tion, of minute transparent, amor
phous globules. It may be made by
passing carbonic acid gas through a
Eolutlon of basic lead ncetate, obtained
by saturating vinegar with ordinary
lead oxide (litharge). After the
white lead has been precipitated out,
a new quantity of litharge may be In
troduced into the mother-liquid, car
bonic acid gas may again be passed
through the solution, nnd so on. This
Is known as the "French method."
Benson's so-called "English method"
consists of triturating litharge with
one per cent, of Its weight of lead
acetate dissolved In water, and ex
posing the paste thus obtained under
constant stirring, to the action of car
bonic acid gas for several days. When
carefully prepared and free from neu
tral lead Carbonate, white lead has a
greater coating power than any other
pigment known.
Blood and Morality.
A note of hope for children born of
vicious parents and amid degrading
influences is sounded by William B.
Streeter of the Children's Home So
ciety of Greensboro, North Carolina.
From his experience, he concludes
that although the proverb, "Blood v.i.l
tell," Is probably founded on fact, as
far as mental nnd physical qualities
are concerned, tho3e things depending
on physiological causes, the same is
not true of moral tendencies. On the
contrary, he believes that the "hered
ity of environment" rather than the
"heredity of blood" determines the
moral character, this conclusion being
warranted by many observations of
the moral qualities marking persons
who, having been rescued from vlcloii3
parents at an early age, have been
brought up amid pure and wholesome
surroundings nnd Influences.
The Ostrich In Africa.
The French government In western
Africa has undertaken to organize the
breeding of ostriches In the territory
under Its control. Ostriches are found
wild In many parts of western Africa.
Along the river Niger they avoid the
neighborhood of man, hut on somo of
the Islands in thnt and other rivers
the natives have established rude
ostrich-farms. Doctor Uecorse, who
was appointed by the government to
study the subject, says that the meth
ods of the ostrich-farmers of the Cape
cannot be fully carried out In the
French territory. It will be necessary
to leave the ostriches in a partially
nomndlc state. Thoy migrate more
or less with the seasons. When It
becomes too dry In the south they go
northward.
Voice Energy.
Doctor Marage recently presented
before tho Academy of Medicine at
Paris the results of an Investigation
of tho amount of work performed by
orators and singers. It appears from
his experiments that a bass voice, in
order to produce tho same Impression
upon the ears of hearers in a hall, re
quires tho performance of from 17 to
18 times more work than Is required
for a barytono or tenor voice. The
bass voice Is always at a disadvantage
with regard to the amount of work It
demands. Thus Doctor Marage finds
that whereas men are always more
fatigued than women and children by
an equal effort of tho voice, men with
bnss voices suffer the most fatigue.
Deforestation In Africa.
According to J. Dybowskl, a pro
gressive desiccation of the air and
soil Is manifest in tho region of the
Sudan, the underlying cause being the
destruction of the original forests.
Cape' Verdo is cited as an example. In
the eighteenth century the botanist
Adanson, described It as covered wltl
a vast forest, whence Its name. No-.,
tho forests are gone, the rivers are dt
mlnlshed, sheets of water have dUop
peared, and the productiveness of the
Foil Is falling, until In many places the
region has become almost sterile. Tho
natives began the destruction of tho
forests Ignorantly; white men con
tlnue it for lmmodlate selfish ends.
wkA Points I
Nothing Is moro refreshing than a
cup of good tea when one Is traveling,
nnd nothing is harder to And when one
Is en route. Ono way to bo sure of It
Is to provldo one's favorite brand nnd
tlo it up by tcnspoonfuls in squares of
loosely woven cheesecloth. When a
cup of tea Is wanted Ice water or hot
water Is never difficult to obtain, and
one's own bag may provldo the bev
erage. The bag Is easier to throw
away than the loose dregs. Tho little
bags should be kept In a tin box or the
flnvor will be lost If tho trip Is to bo
of any length. A tea making spoon or
a tea ball answers the same purpose,
but it leaves tho dregs to bo disposed
of and is more messy.
Cucumber Jelly.
Pare two cucumbers nnd cut In
slices. Add n slice of onion, a stalk of
celery, half a tablespoonful of nastur
tium seeds, a piece of green pepper
pod nnd half a tcaspoonful of sweet
herbs, with water to cover. Let sim
mer uutll the cucumber Is tender, then
press through a very fine sieve. Sea
son with salt, pepper and n tablespoon
ful of lemon Juice. Then add for each
pint of liquid one-third of a package of
gelatin softened In one-third of a cup
ful of cold water and dissolve over
hot water. Tint delicately with green
vegetable color paste and turn Into
molds to harden. Serve with any salad
dressing in tho same way that tomato
Jelly Is used.
Raspberry Buns.
Scald five cupfuls of milk. When
cool add one tcaspoonful of salt, one
yeast cake and sufficient flour to make
a drop batter. Beat well and set nslde
to cool. Cream together one pound of
butter and ono pound of sugar nnd
stir It Into the sponge when light.
Add moro flour to mako a soft douch
and sot aside to rise a second time. !
Make up into small round buns, cut a
slit In the bottom of each and work in
a half of a teaspoonful of raspberry
Jam. pinch the cut together nnd place
the buns on greased tins, cut side
downward. When light bake in a hot
oven and wash over with a little beat
en egg while hot.
Cherry Sponge.
Soak one-half of n box of gelatin In
one-half of a cupful of cold water. Pit
one quart of stemmed cherries, steep
the pits in one cupful of hot water for
half an hour, then strain. Add to the
water one cupful of sugar, bring to the
boiling point nnd boil for three min
utes. Pour over the cherries, cover
and let stand for ten minutes, then
press all through a colander. Dissolve
the gelatin over hot water, add to the
cherry mixture and set away until It
begins to thicken. Add tho well beat
en whites of tbreV eggs and beat on
ice until nil is thick aud light. Turn
Into a wetted mold and set In a cold
place until firm.
One Cause of Bad Coffee.
The cause for unpalatable coffee
may often bo traced to tho cotton bag
used in mnklng it. Coffee, like butter
and milk, has tho quality of absorbing
flavors from other foods, nnd If the
bag has not been properly cleansed It
may bo sure to tako tho edge from the
flnvor of the coffee. Tho bag cannot
be scalded lu soapsuds aud ever again
be free from a taint of tho suds. Once
a week Is not too often to make a
fre3h bag from new cheesecloth. After
use It should bo washed In clear water
and be scalded and dried.
A Fine Shortcake.
For delicious shortcake tho most do-
Hclous known make baking powder
biscuits, break them In two while .hot,
arrange them broken side up on a plat
ter and pile each with strawberries
that havo beeu cut lu two or three
pieces and left In sugar for half an
hour or so, or tho berries may be mash
ed and sweetened. Thero should bo a
good allowance of berries nnd Julco In
a bowl to servo as sauce on the bis- i
cults.
Vanilla Ice Cream With Maple Sirup.
Put two or three tablespooufuls of
maplo sirup lu the bottom of a sher
bet cup, add a well rounded table
spoonful of vanilla Ice cream and
sprinkle a tablespoonful of chopped
walnuts on tho top of tho cream. Cara- i
mcl or chocolato sirup may be used In
tho same way, or preserved strawber
ries or bar-Ie-duc currants may replace
tho sirups. (
Oatmeal Soup.
Havo three pints of broth lamb, veal
or chicken nicely flavored with onion,
celery, parsley, herbs and carrot; add
one-fourth of a cupful of oatmeal and
stir until boiling. Let simmer an hour,
then strain. When ready to servo stir
In tho yolks of two eggs beaten and
mixed with half a cupful of cream. Do
not lot boll after tho addition of tho
egg yolks.
To Mcka Pineapple Jelly.
One of tho problems frequent with
young housewives Is why' pineapple la
so bard to make Into jelly even with
gelatin. Old housewives know that
tho plneapplo should bo cooked before
it goes Into the Jelly. A glanco at too
gelatin box will probably reveal tho
same advice

James Whltcomb Blley was going up
the steps of tho statehouso lu Indl
auapolls one day when he met his
friend Warren G. Sayre. Tho two had
beeu close friends for years.
"Good morning, Mr. Blley," said Mr.
Sayre in greeting.
"Why, hello, Wnrren!" Mr. Blley re
plied. "How aro you?"
"Never felt better in my life. You
aro looking well."
"I don't know," said the poet; "I
sometimes feel the weight of years,
for you know I am getting old."
"Nonsense! Nonsense!" Mr. Sayre re
marked with considerable emphasis.
"You don't look old. In fact, you don't
look a bit older now than when I first
saw you."
"Perhaps that Is true, but I feel age
coming on. I was Just thinking as I
came up these steps about old Methu

the friend. 'How are you?'
"'Oh, pretty fair for an old man,'

The Nature of Radlobcs.
A year ago a onsldornhle sensa
tion was caused by the nnr.ouncer.iont
of Mr. Burke of Cambridge. I'ug'.and.
that through the action of radium
upon sterilized gelatin ho had pro
duced what appeared to bo living
germs, to which he gave tho name of
radlobcs. Mr. Burke has slnre v.-rUtcn
a book on tl.ose enigmatical ;htngs.
Moro recent experiments by Mr. W. A.
D. Rudgo Indicate that rn''. lobes are
not In nny senao living things, nud
that they nro not oven a product of
rndlo-nctlvlty. Mr. Budge shows that
they are precipitates of an Insoluble
sulphnte due to the presence of bari
um, nnd that their "growth" Is simply
a chemical process. Uadlo-actlve sub
stances, Mr. Budge says, never pro
duce "radlobes," except when they
contain barium.
The Cutting Blowpipe.
The addition of a Jet of compressed
oxygen to the llamo of the oxyace
tylene blowpipe makes of It a wonder
ful tool for cutting Iron and steel. In
using the apparatus, the metal to be
cut Is first heated red-hot by the ok
yacetylene flame. Then a stop-cock Is
opened, admitting In the center of the
flame a very thin Jet of compressed
oxygen. This cuts with great rapidity,
the section being ns thin ns a knife
blade. The best-hardened steel can
thus be cut with ease. Plates 10 mil
limeters thick and n meter broad have
been ,cut In two with the blowpipe In
4 1-2 minutes. Plates 100 millimeters
thick have been cut In 0 or 10 minutes.
In a recent experiment a safe of the
strongest and best construction was
cut open with this strange tool In 20
minutes.
Australian Coal.
Since the Hlspano-Ainertcan and
Russo-Japanese wars, the question of
coal-supply In tho far East has as
sumed a new Importance, and the
search for the black mineral Is pur
sued In all promising quarters. Among
tho great Oriental coal deposits are
those of New South Wales, and par
ticular attention Is now paid to their
development Two of them have been
known for more than 100 years, and
the story of their discover' is interest
ing. At Coal Cliff, south of Sydney,
shipwrecked sailors were astonished
to find cliffs of pure coal bordering
the sea. At Hunter River the coal de
posits were found by the commander
of an English ship of war, who, while
chasing pirates, landed a party to take
water.
Keeping Its Fishers at Horn;:.
The bread which Indiana scattered
on the waters has begun to return to
her. More than five years ago the
state fish and game commission legan
systematically to stock the lakes and
streams of that state with fish. Util
izing the many lakes In Its northern
part as breeding grounds, the com
mission succeeded In securing several
million fish of desirable quality. These
were then distributed about the vari
ous water courses and lakes of the
state.
As a result It Is now estimated that
about $3,000,000 is annually spent In
Indiana by outsiders who go there to
fish. It is quite likely that as much
more is spent there by Indlanlans
who previously went elsewhere for
their sport. The cost of stocking the
lakes was comparatively small. The
handsome returns show that the
money was well expended. Chicago

Chloroform Zoo Animals.
The practice of cutting rbe claws
of the more ferocious animate of the
London zoological garden has recently
been greatly facilitated by chloroform
ing the animals. Heretofore It was
done by sheer force by a squad of men
the animal being first secured by
ropes.

The "Luck" of Peacock's Feathers.
Tho peacock's feathers superstition
is nothing like so common as It used
to bo. Perhaps Whistler's celebrated
Poacock Room helped to break It
down. At any rato, Peacock's feath
ers aro ordinary enough articles of
decoration In many hnppy nnd placid

that keep theso brlngers of misfortune
nt a shilling n bundle. Did the super

puted pride of the peacock, on the
"pride shall have a fall" theory? Or
Is It that tho "eye" of the feather Is
supposed to see undersirable happen

London Chronicle.
Engraving by Telegraph.
Monsieur Cnrbonelle, a Belgian, has
Invented an apparatus by means of
which a picture can bo reproduced by
telegraph in the form of an engraved
plate, from which printed copies may
bo immediately taken. The picture to
bo sent Is printed with thick, non-conducting
Ink, and wound round a re
volving cylinder, over which passes a
stylus electrically connected with the
telegraph lino. At the receiving end
a similar cylinder Is encased with
lead, or other soft metal, on which
presses the point of a graver. The
variations of Intensity in the current
produced by the stylus passing over
the picture at the transmitting station
cause the graver to cut more or less
deeply, and thus to produce a typo
graphic ropy of the original, which
may be placed without change on the
printing-press.
