Professor Morse of Salem, Mass. has devised Warm ng rooms by a simple stove for means of solar heat. It consists of a shallow box having a bottom of corrugated iron THEATRE and a glass top. This device is placed out- side the building, so that the sun can shine directly into it. The rays pass through the glass and are absorbed by the nietst, heating it THE AMERICAN MUSICAL COMEDY to a high temperature and warming the air of the box.

To the nation that naks.it, assure ly yes! Marriage amongst commercial and industrial peoples of the present day is an inverted cone. There are too few people married, and these that married are married too much. In a genuinely ideal.community every able-bodied man and woman would be married, but mar riage would not be the exacting chain upon each sex that it now is. Wherever children are a nuisance marriage, no matter how sanc-building an air-ship in which he proposes to tioned by social usage, no matter how blessed by priestly benediction, is a terrible failure. To the nation that meets the arguments of Henry, George with the claptrap of Malthus, marriage is a failure, Where marriages of love are spoken of as an act, on one side or the other, of suicidal folly, and marriages of interest, no matter how unfitting, or revolting, are commended, the con- ventional marriage, according to the rites and usages of modern society, is a failure,

An Englishman las invented an electric gun. There is a small storage battery fixed in theif stock from which a current strong enough to explode the cartridge is communicated. It is said that one charging of the cell will explode 5,000 cartridges.

The Colt Arms Factory at Hartford, Conn., will soon begin the manufacture of 5,000 navy revolvers for the United States Government, The new piece is a shooter, thirty-eight calibre. Beside being sell-cocking, all the cartridges may be instantly removed by a pressure of the

Steel that is too hard to cut or file may be -drilled with a mixture of one ounce sulphate of copper, quarter of an ounce of alum, half a teaspoonful of powdered salt, a gill of vinegar and twenty drops of nitric acid. This will eat a hole in the hardest steel, or, if washed off quickly, will give a fronted appearance to the metal.

Experts claim that sea-sickness can be regulated by a system of breathing. One must sit still and time the breathing to the upward and down- ward motion of the boat. As the boat falls there should be a full expiration, and as the boat rises start on an inspiration ending just as the boat begins to drop.

Apropos of the proposition to make and sell mortar by the barrel, as is the practice in Germany, the Manufacturers' Gaselte says: A good strong mortar is made of lime, a little sand, water and pieces of brick ground to a powder. All the refuse from a building of brick should be. ground up and utilized in the mortar, by machines made for that purpose,

On being consulted the Paris Council of Hygiene has disapproved of galvanized iron vessels for holding or measuring liquids intended for alimentary purposes. In consequence of the decision the Administration will refuse to affix the legal stamps to any vessels of this decrip- tion, and will only allow, as heretofore, tinned copper or tinned iron.

M.

It will weigh 4,500 pounds and will tarry the same weight of passengers and freight. M. Jovis thinks he can make seventy miles an hour in it and expects to land In Norway or Sweden, or else in Ireland, in': three and a half days after starting.

Tram-cars worked by compressed air on the Mekarski system are now running on the, Hollo way Road and King's Cross Tramway line. They are like ordinary cars without horses, and they take their turn, with the horse-Cats. The air is contained in reservoirs under the cars, and is warmed by passing through hot water con- tained in a receiver before it goes to the engines. This heating which are also under the car. prevents the formation of hoar-frost in the cylinders, owing to the cooling due to the expan sion of the compressed air which actuates the enginci.

From time to time the sugar trade has heard. of experiments with a new process, of refining sugar, which was being kept as a profound Katisha secret. The only thing known about the process' was that it was an electrical one. Sugar men are beginning to fear that there may be some- thing in it after all. Actual sugar, of the most CHORUS OF SCHOOL-GIRLS, NOBLES, GUARDS, beautiful crystals, manufactured by this process has been exhibited. A refinery has been put up in Brooklyn. The machinery has been mand. factured in different parts of the world in order that the secret might not be disclosed, and a final test was to be made about October 10th. If on or before that date 1,000 tons of sugar are refined by this process in a given time, it is said that English capitalists are willing to invest $15,000,000, in the enterprise. If successful, according to the measure expected by its pro jectors, this process will be one of the greatest commercial sensations of the century.
