Costly Flowers,

No wander that even the Duchess of Portland laments that she can't afford many carnations. Eleven pence was the price asked for а very ordinary small one, reports an Evening Standard writer. This is the costliest time of year for flowers, and the shop assistants announce brightly that they will grow steadily dearer until after Christmas, Small bunches of indifferent violets are a shilling and more, and ten marigolds (out fathers would as soon. have ex- pected to see a common marigold ⚫ in a flower shop as to see a rolling- pin in the drawing-room), when planted in a pot, are alleged to be worth nearly a guinea, Coffee and Wireless.

In a village some distance from London (writes a correspondent to the Daily Chronicle), I found, as I expected, the "wireless" was in full swing or should one say "full wave"? But I found, too, that evening wireless parties, at which such light refreshments.as coffee and sandwiches were served, were all the rage. The novel feature, to me, was that all invita tions bore the implied phrase, Bring your own headphones," The headphone is, the expensive part of the set. To provide for a number of people other than the home circle is not to be thought of in some houses. But if the visitors bring their own headphones they' can switch in and enjoy the music or speeches while they sip their coffee. Perhaps soon none of us will go visiting without our head- phones,

Paper from Banana Refuse.

A good paper can be made from banana refuse, according to the World's Paper Trade Review The trash or refuse, consisting of the stems and leaves of banana trees from which the fruit bas been cut, is passed through crushing rolls, which produces a mash in which the moisture has been reduced from 90 to 55-75 per cent. The liquid is drained off and the trash is passed through a breaking or pulping machine, where it is reduced to pulp. The pulp and juice from the machine "are then placed in a boiler, water is added, and the mixture is boiled at a pressure of four to five atmospheres for a period of three to six hours. The contents of the boiler are then transferred to a beater, 'where the resinous and gummy matters, which have.been set free during, the process of boiling, arc washed away as powder or pellets. by a qurrent of water. The removal of the fibrous material from the beater complete the process, in which no chemical. is used.Weekly Telegraph. Glassworker's Armour,

Visitors to a Chicago optical factory, unprepared for what they might see as they entered the main works, would be truly horrified to find themselves in the company of hundreds of ghost- like figures, just about as gruesome in appearance as could be imagin- ed. Clothed from head to waist in a padded costume of cream cotton wool, the face entirely enclosed in a white cork mask, except for the unseen peeped eyes, which through tinted tale gaggles, the women wearing white skirts and the men overalls of a similar hue, busy gangs of operatives pursue their task. Their strange costumes are designed to protect them against the attack of millions of glass particles so fine as not to be seen by the naked eye. Anyone casually walking through the long rows of benches would perceive no need for any such precaution- that is until told that if these men Domestic Occurrences and women were to sit at their jobs Leading Articles ordinarily attired they would lose Islamic Society..... their sight in a week, and their Local and General... skins would be permanently affect Social and Personal ed with a rash impossible to cure.
