A Nonpoisonous Disinfectant.
Science has been emiched by a med—
ical discovery as important in the domain
of therapeutics as chloroform, laudanum
and quinine. The greattheory of infec-
tion by baccilus forms requires, in order
to be fruitful of benefit to mankind, the
In
carbolic acid, in corrosive sublimate and
in potassium permanganate science has
made long strides in the direction of
adequate antiseptics and bacillicides, but
these drugs all have mgr drawbacks-
Now, however, ‘Dr. Wormll, a noted
scientist, claims to ha to found among
the coal products a disinfecting body ap-
parently superior to all previous ones.
He has named it izal, and Dr. Klein,
after a series of exhaustive laboratory
experiments, is said to have found it ab-
solutely destructive of the spores of some
of the most intractable and malignant
diseases. Unlike most powerful disin-
fectants, it is nonpoisonous to human
beings and may be taken internally dilut-
ed, while Dr. Klein’s experiments go to
prove that, diluted with 200 parts water,
izal absolutely destroys the vitality of
the microbes of diphtheria. scarlatina,
glanders, erysipelas and cholera—New

The Pumps of the Egyptian.
A representative piece of mechanism
occurs frequently on the sculptures of
early Egypt. It has the appearance of
and is generally belioged to be that of a
portable pump. The hydraulic screw is
also attributed to this people. but their
main reliance seems always to have beer
the Shadoof, seen everywhere along tl
banks of the Nile, an invention so sin
ple and so well adapted to their need.
that it remains today substantially the
same as it has through all the centuries
since history began.
The same may be said regarding the
chain pump in China, an invention the
origin of which a-ntedatcs the Christian
era. This simple machine, which seems
never to have been improved upon, is in
such common use that every agricultural
laborer is in possession of one. Where
irrigation is conducted on a larger scale
the chain pump is made proportionately
larger and moved by a very simple tread
wheel, and still larger ones are operated
by yoking a. buffalo or other animal to a
suitable driving machine.
The application of steam to raising
water is of uncertain origin.k Long be-
fore the Christian era certain applica-
tions of fire to vessels containing water.

We Owe the flat to Asia.
We owe the hat to Asia, for it was in
that country that the art of felting wool
was first known, and from the most re?
- mote periods the art was carried. on by
the orientals. In India, China, Burmah
and Siam hats are made of straw, of rat-
tan, of bamboo, of pith, of the leaf of
the Tallport palm and of a large variety
of grasses. The Japanese made their
hats of paper. The modern hat can be
traced back to the petasurs worn by the
ancient Romans when on a. journey, and
hats with brims were also used by the
earlier Greeks.
It was not until after the Roman con-
quest that the use-of hats began in Eng-
land. A “hatte of biever,” about {he
middle of the twelfth century, was worn
by one of the nobles of the land. Frais-
sort describes hats and plumes which
were worn at Edward’s court in 1340,
when the Garter order was instituted.
The merchant in Chaucer’s “Canterbury
Tales” had “ogfihis head, a Flaunderish
beaver hat,” and from that period on-
ward there is frequent mention of “felt
hattes.”—Washington Star.
No Law Against Removing a Dead Body.|
“Where in the world,” asked the law-
yer who volunteered information with-
out a retaining fee, “did people—espe-
cially people in the country—get the idea
that one cannot touch or remove a body
until the coroner has arrived? That is
' almost a. general belief in the country,
and there never was a more ridiculous
and absurd piece of nonsense than this.
I have seen a body lie in everybody’e
way because the people 'thereabout
thought that it was unlawful to touch it.
’ This foolish tradition amounts almost
to a superstition, and you may be sure
no coroner takes the troubleto enlighten
stupid ignorance upon the subject. The
coroner is only too willing to aggrandize
his influence and power, and therefore
rather encourages than discourages this
silly superstition.”—N_ew ‘York Tribune.

A Terrible Looking rm. )4- -. _.
A well known gentleman of Seattle’:the’i
pther day handed to a reporter a curious -
looking scarfpin, the head of it being of
the size of a small marble, such as is
used by boys. In color it was a peéulia-r
reddish amber, and seemed to contain a
strange lifelike heart, from which a drop
of blood appeared ready to fall.
, “A heart of fire bedreame‘d-udth haze.” ,
' “What is it?” asked the reporter.
“It is an eye taken from a mummy,”
was the reply.
“Where was it taken from?” was asked.
“I was at Arie-a, Peru, in 1882, and
took it from a mummy myself," was the
reply. "A number of young men and
myself one day were 'out for sport and
dug up a dozen mummies for the sake
pf seeing what they had been buried with.
We found money, pieces of pottery, etc.,
but did not strike a gold mine. Nearly
all the better class of mummies seemed
to have these eyes in them, and I took
this from one of them. I could not
learn what it was. Some people in Peru
contend that it is the natural eye pre-
lerved and hardened in some manner,
while others think it a. fish’s eye. They
do not bother their heads much about it
flown there, however. The fact that
these eyes are found in mummies is sum-
cient for them.» I' have never heard of
my tradition connected with them.
“I took the eye to a jewelry store in
San Francisco and tried to get it pol-
ished, but could not, although half a
dozen men worked on it. The powder
arising from it while they were at work
would make them deathly sick and also
get in their eyes and blind them tom-
porarily. You see that it has .v 'iilljifl off
ln places. I finally had it set in this pin
as you see it.”——Seattle Press-Times.
Where the Boston Hotels’ Silver Goes.
The fad of collecting spoons for sou-
venirs has ramifications little dreamed
of by those who toy curiously with the
quaint little products of the silversmith’s
art as they sip out of dainty porcelain
the fragrant brew from my lady’s tea
ball.
Harvard boys are faddist as well as
their sisters and sweethearts, but they do
not seek the uttermost ends of the earth
for their treasures. The famous and
hospitable hostelries of the neighboring
Hub are where they carry on their dep-
redations. ‘
The more thoughtful and honest first
make sure that the obliging waiter does
not have to replace the missing article,
and then they slyly slip afork or a spoon
into a pocket, and no matter what the
check may amount to the spoony sopho-
more is happy, for he has added an-
other to his collection with which to
mystify his fair friends.
This accounts for one who at a. little
spread took tea from an Adams House
spoon and salad from a fork bearing the
word “Parker’s.” '
If the student has been industrious,
every individual of a party uses silver
from a different hostelry.—-Boston Her-
ald. -
Photographing In Colors.
Color photography has attracted much
attention during the ‘past year or 18
menths, and the experiments in that line
have been startlingly successful. Pro-
fessors Lippmann and Vogel are the pic-
neers in this branch of the photographic
art, and both are enthusiastic over re-
cent results. Lippmann’s investigations
have proven that on a layer of albumen
he could take brilliant photographs of
the spectra, nor was it necessary to
bring out the colors one at a time by a.
laborious application of specially pre-
pared chemicals. On the contrary, they
all came out at once, even red, and that,
too, without the interposition of colored
screens. In a letter to a society of pho-
tographers Lippmann says: “Announce
the most wonderful discovery of the age.
I have brought out colors more brilliant
than the tints of the rainbow after an ex-
posure of less than 30 seconds. Alas! I
grieve to tell you that there are certain
colors in the rainbow that I have not
succeeded in chaining to my plate.”—St.
Louis Republic.
The Atlantic Ocean.
The area of the Atlantic is about 80,-
000,000 square miles, less than half the
area of the Pacific and between one-
sixth and one-seventh of the total sur-
face area of the world. It would form a
circle 6,180 miles in diameter, which is
rather more than double the distance
from Liverpool to New York.
Its depth is much better known than
that of the Pacific and averages more
than 2,000 fathoms, probably about 14,-
000 feet, or about 2% miles. The height
of Mont Blanc is about three miles.
The cubic contents are therefore near-
ly 80,000,000 cubic miles, so that the At-
lantic could be contained bodily in the
Pacific nearly three times. The number
of cubic feet is 117 followed by .17 ci-
phers, a number that’ would be ticked
OR by our million clocks in 870,000 years.
Its weight is 325,000 billion tons, and the
number of gallons in it is 78 trillions. A
sphere to hold the Atlantic would have
to be 5331} miles in diameter.—Long-
man’s Magazine.
Entertaining the Butcher.
Little Mary is the daughter of a Free-
byterian clergyman in a pretty village
0 western New York. One morning a
corpulent butcher called at the parsonage
.with a roast of beef for dinner. Mary
answered his knock at the kitchen door
and proceeded to entertain him until her
mother should arrive. The pastor’s e
on her way down stairs overheard this
conversation:
“This is a very lovely day, Mr. Mea-
son.” -
“It is indeed.”
“Do you like roast beef?”
“Yes.”
“Do you eat it every day?”
“N otevery day. Why?” .,
“Nothing, only your stomach seems to
belarger than ours.”—-—New York Times.

“When I was out in Chicago at the
opening of the \Vorld’t! fair,” said a
friend of mine, “I had occasion to make
a call on some old acquaintances on the
West Side. The streets in that portion
of the city had many of them the bap-
tismal names of women, and as I lived
there at one time the calling of them by
the car conductor. sounded familiar to'
countryman on board, who was doubt-
less visiting Chicago for the first time.
the passengers, and as” the conductor
called out ‘Elizabeth’ the car stopped,
and one of them got off. Afifew squares
farther and there was the call ‘Ada,’
followed by a stop and "the exit of an-
other lady. ‘
“The old countryman began to look
interested, and when the next call came,
‘Ma-y,’ and he saw a lady gather up her
bundles and'walk down the aisle, he had
a puzzed air. In quick succession there
came ‘Pauline,’ ‘Roberta’ and ‘Augusta,’
followed by the departure of a passen-
ger. The old man could not stand it
any longer. His eyes bulged out, and
making a rush for the platform he said
in a stage whisper to the conductor,
‘Great snakes, mister, do you- know the '
town?’ " .- ,_ , .

swered to the name that was called out."

AN EPISODE of WAR DAYS IN ‘THE ‘
'- HARBOR OF HONG-KONG.
An Impatient Yankee Skipper ‘Vho Had
' Confidence In His Ship and Who Dared ‘ "
the Alabama-Flying Two Flags In Nou-
tral Waters—How the Escape Was 'Mado.
“During the greater part of the war,"
said the retired skipper, “there were a
large number of American clippers stall-
ed in Hong-Kong harbor, having orders
fireman there from their owners, who
feafedahéiAlabama. This arrangement
did not at"all ’- please the captains and
officers, as many-bf "us were anxious to
gohome and ship injliemavy, but orders
were orders. ‘Wo‘ Could; not leave the
ships, and the frequent ‘Vfiilh of the Ala-
bama herself to the harbor, forcing her-
self ‘into oni- midst',’ as the saying. goes,
were very vivid ”reminders that neutral
waters were'a pretty-good sort of: an‘~ in-
vention. ' ' '_ ‘ -» ’
“Althoughwe passed'the' long weeks I,
and months as pleasantly. aswe could, ‘ “
with all kinds of arrangements for kill-
ing time, both on Shipboard and. on
shore. there was of course a continual
and concerted growl going up from our
little band of Yankee skippers, and old
Hobbs was the star growler ‘of us all;
“His ship was the Humming Bird, 8
brand new clipper hailing from Boston.
The trip out to Bong-Kong had been her
maiden one, and it was chafing to Hobbs'
not very smooth temper to have her lie
idle so early in her career. Having great
faith in the ship’s speed arid in his own
seamanship, he was more than, anxious
to put to sea and let Semmes catch him-
if he could; but, like the rest of us, his .
orders to remain were positive. - ,
“Occasionally a ship would manage to '
clear by sailing under some foreign flag,
but as it was a Complicated process in-
volving fathoms of red tape and very of-
ten fell through just when everything
seemed favorable it was not resorted to
very often. "When it was tried, however,
old Hobbs would go on his beam ends
with wrath. He would fume and rant,
casting aspersions on the patriotism of
the owners, the agents, the officials, and
even the Chinese crew. He was so in-
tensely patriotic that to see a good Yan-
kee craft sail under false colors would
keep him boiling for a week.
"You can see what his feelings were
when one day he was ordered to proceed
to Sumatra under the British flag. He
fumed, ranted and swore and then
fumed, ranted and swore over again,
with a. few extra choice nautical anath-
emas thrown in for emphasis. This nec-
essary operation over, he sent ashore to
the native sailmaker’s for a British flag
—the smallest to be had. When it came
aboard—it was about 2 by 4 feet in size
—Hobbs looked at it askance and or~
dered it to be put out of sight until sail-
ing day.
“Sailing dayarrived, and the British
flag was seen fluttering , quietly from its
proper place on the Humming Bird. It
attracted mighty little attention, how-
ever, for the Alabama was entering the
harbor. She floated slowly along and
dropped, anchor exceedingly close to the
Humming Bird. About this time the
harbor master was seen ' in his boat be-
ing rowed rapidly toward Hobbs' ship,
and a huge bundle of bunting about the
size of an old shellback’s‘sea chest was
rapidly hauled to the maintop of the
Humming Bird. ' ~ '
“The harbor master pulled up along-
side the Humming Bird and yelled for
It could be seen that he
was angry about something. Hobbs
came to the rail in his plug hat and long
tailed bottle green coat, the customary
uniform of a skipper in those , days,
and asked the harbor master what he
could do. ’
“ ‘I want you to take down that fl
instantly, sir,’ said the harbor master.
“ ‘Guess not,’ said Hobbs.
“ ‘It’s a disgrace, sir, and an insult to
hoist such a flag as that!’
“ ‘What’s the matter with the flag?’
laid Hobbs, surprised.
“ ‘It’s all wrong, sir; the proportions
are all wrong. The field is too long for
its width, and the rest of it is too wide for
its length. . The crosses are wrongly ar-
ranged, sir, and it is a vile caricature of
an honored flag, sir! Remove it imme-
diatelyl’ ,,.
“ ‘Guess not,’ said Hobbs ag- in. ‘That
flag was bought in a British port and
made by a British subject. He was I.
Chinaman, but that is neither here nor
there. I don’t care 'if it is the flag of
Patagonia, so long as it was sold to me
for that of England. Good morning!’
“The harbor maSter had nothing tosay
to this and started back. but he had no
.sooner done so than the main halliards
"were pulled, the bundle at the peak.
broke out, and in a second the stars and
stripes were waving before the aston-I
ished eyes of the harbor master, the Yams
kee skippers and aptain Semmes of th '
Alabama. Indeed, so large was 01
Glory in this particular case that it al-
most brushed the Alabazim’s decks, the
vessels being sonear together. . The huge
flag had been presented to the ship at
me, although it seemed to puzzle an old :her 19411110111113 and t0 the excited spec-
tators on this occasion seemed larger
than the ship herself. '
"The harbor master. put about, angriet
than before, and demanded explanations. .
“ ‘What does that flag mean, sir?’ said .
he.
“ ‘That’s my house'flag‘," said Hobbs;
V‘the trademark of my owners. I do not
know whether that red rag up there is”
humpbacked and clubfooted or not, but
you can’t give me any points on the con-
struction of that article up there with
the stripes on it. I propose to fly that
flag how I please, when I please and
where I please, whether it be in Heng-
Kth or in h—-—. For the second time.
good morning!’ and Hobbs went below.
“Semmes was so angry over the stars
and stripes flauntin in his face that he
swore to blow the umming Bird out of
the water if he ever'caught her outside,
no matter what flag~ she sailed under.
He'never did it, however, as this voyage

- ' Love left us only sorrow:
I held her little hand in mine; ‘5‘
That parting is to me divine.
Then there was no tomgrrow.
Since I have'learned life‘s lesson well ,
Hearts are not easy broken.
Tonight all Joys l have forgot;
There's something sacred lnthls spot.
Where sweet goodbye were spoken.
I‘d feel less lonely with myself
- It I were broken hearted; ,
W'ould I could live that night again.
With all its sadness-sweetened pain.
When love from love was partedl'

,managed to struggle through their dine ,' ‘

cutting them in halves and eating from
their hands, holding the leg. Sometimes,
too, they became ridiculously polite by
carving bread with knife and fork, but
the climax came when I set two bowls
of rosewater before them as finger
glasses. ‘ - .
They looked at each other, and then
cautiously around the mom, trying to
find some solution of themysterious disk

into a suppressed. quarrel, the lady ro-

Suddenly she was seen to shake the wa-

agine this in a close, stuffy atmosphere,
filled already with the odors of the ship
and the stench of the machinery. You
cannot ask a man for a guarantee of his
position. He is apt to belong to tho‘mid-

file it would be to inhabit a room with a '
being who has very uncertain notions
about the complete change of linen every
day and whose rule of cleanliness has
been a. tub once a week. on Saturday
night. , _ ‘ 5 . _
And then, even if cleanly, he. might
not wear the right kind of under-clothes,
and he might persist in sleeping in night
robes instead of pajamas, and he might
do\a hundred other dreadful things.
