Mies Cora Inman , dn Ingenious American
girl , has in\oatod a dozca household articled
made trom hairpins. If you have a package -
ago of halrplas and follow her directions
you can ha\o "all the comforts of a homo"
for 5 cents.
The hairpin has always been considered
the laet resort of the feminine mind. In an
emergcncyi From picking the Jealous lockset
ot guardians to opening comllt boxes , from
butitonlng show to extracting corks , from
putting out the eyes of a burglar to doing
hatpin service , U has been In requisition
since the ages begani to roll over the sleek
and confined locks of beauty. In fact , whore
anything less than a crowbar was needed
the versatile hairpin has been called upon
to cxerclso Its talents , with the rcmilt that
many women , have been unconsciously aid-
tag In its becoming a part of the patent
ofllce's documentary evidence about what
can bo done with this remarkable little ar
ticle , so common cad so demure.
Mleu Inman baa had some of her devices
patented , but Is not averse to letting the
sisterhood Into the secret of how she malus
some of her simplest and most convemlont
.Utle "contraptions" out of our old friend
the hairp'a.
In the first pace ! , there Is a spool rack , to
jc worn upon the person while sawU'g ' , and
which will prove a boon to every woman
who IG used to seeing her spools whirl away
nto corners smaller and more distracting
: h.in the haumts of the- dastardly collar but
ton. It Is made of a single halrplD , and
can bo snatched from the auburn curls In
haste , without leavtag the rocking chair , ° o
you see that nothing could be more-dell&ht
fill.
fill.The
The hairpin Is taken by Its two wires , or
prongs , or tinea , or whatever you agree to
call them , acd crossed so that a loop appears
at the top where the arch generally comes.
Vfter this has been done neatly and with
enough care to leave the loop large enough
o go over aa ordinary-sized button cm the
rent of the basque , the retraining length of
vlre io bent Iwto the form of a tiny pair of
co tongs , or "nippers , " the ends slightly
and sharply beat at right angles with the
curve above , and slipped into the hole of a
rommoa spool of any shape or size. And
hero it Is , all complete and comfortable ,
and vou have not had to move out of your
chair , mucli less call for materials with
vhlch to make this cunning , unique and
almost necessary thing.
Tina there Is a photograph holder , which ,
f made from a brass or "gilt" hairpin , wlli
prove a delight for aomo dainty desk. It Is
made by taking the halrplo Just as It comes
rom the package and bending it over back
ward about one-third from thetc < p ; ono
other bend In the opposite direction and' It
B dcao. The -profile makes it look some-
hing like the letter "N. " Deforo It ia
qulto complete the legs , or wires , are apread
a little ait the bottom , enough to make It
stand plumb , and It forms a crate do vlslte
uck that la every whit as substantial and
good asthe one bought In stores for that
lurpose.
If you happen to bo fortunate enough to be
he possessor of n number of rlngrf , a "ring
rco" will bo found a useful and pretty ar-
Iclo for the "dresser. " They are sold In
shops now made of fire gilt. You can have
hem of black or flre guilt hairpins that will
) o quite asnice , and jou can make them
yotinialf. It takes bait a dozen pins long
ones preferred' ! In this case , as In all others.
Three of the hairpins are stretched out to
heir full leugth by undoing the arch In the
middle and pressing gently until the hairpins
are flattcncd'out and form a wlro twice their
usual length , . ' They nre wired together about
n Inch from the 'bottom and an inch from
ho top , and at the bottom the inch left free
s taken up and turned . -t light angles from
ho rest so as to form a three-legged rest.
'hen thrco othur pins are taken , bent In the
middle llko n letter "V" spread out , turned
vlth their legs pointing skyward and w'.red
ogether at their aroli tops. This , fastened
o tiho three legged Institution already m .do ,
ornia a "tree , " upon the limbs or at-ms or
which may be hung at night the diamonds
nd turquoise of the day's wearing.
After that Intricate affair , you will want to
icar about something very simple. You ihavo
t in the bookmark , which Is made ot a single
liver op gold hairpin by bending It over
bout two-fifths of Its length from the top
ml pinching It together In such a way thai
vhen it U slipped Into the 'book ' It forms a
tiff holder for the pages as well as a market
er the place.
The pen rock Is made of a tialrpln opened
ip and straightened out , turned up Into little
look-like ends at the tips and hung from
wo tacks above the desk. From this little
bar" are suspended three or four hairpins
: iut have been straightened out and bent Into
looks at each end. On the lower raw of
looks goes the pen , 'Iy ' ) using a shorter SCT
f hairpins above and repeating the process
ust described jou can have a rack to hold a
encll PS well.
Clothespins are made from hairpins , and BU
re bill file holders and letter holders. liy
tudylng a few of these outlined articles and
onsultlng the Illustrations you can noon t > o-
omo qulto adept at forming these useful
ttlo household articles and can make up In
our own" mind the other useful things your
lersonal needs call for.
There are already three slylea of knitting
Ilk bill holders , whloh can be better under
load from 1ho Illustrations , and tbo rules
aid down for the other articles can bo ap-
illcd here.
The kitchen ball of twine holder deserves
omo mention , Itowcver. It U made by talc-
ng six hairpins , straightening them out tin-
1 they form a flat piece of wire bowing
hem until they are round enough to fit a
all of cord , and then wiring them at both
nda end making them Into a sort of oval
age for the cord. The upper ends are
looked for hanging the holder to the gas
et and the lower end Is left loosely arranged ,
n that the end of the cord may bo dropped
irough for reeling off for use. And there
ro otters.

IRON HEATED IN COLD WATER
Startling Achievement of Mo3ern Electrical
Science Practically Applied
INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION PROMISED
A > MT nnd line-fill tApiillcntlon of ni
Il MMrrAlioiit JCIrc-
trlclt > lliirtou'n "Llqiilil
Few operations look more llko n miracle
than heating n pleco of Iron to a cherry
hue , or an even more dazzling Incandescence ,
by thrustlniE It Into a lank of cold water.
None of Herrmann's Illusions , relates the
New York Tribune , could bo moro. start ! Ing
than this feat , \\lilcli , as now performed , Id
a practical reality , and not merely nn en
tertaining trick. HltHfrto the 'blacksmith
has plunged a liorcslioq at other product of
hs ! art Into a bath bMlde his forgo to lo\\cr
the temperature of a plcco ot molalhlch \
has already been heated ta the fire. It la
now proposed to do away with the broad
hearth , the coals , the blaze and the bcllons ,
but to retain the tank and Its contents.
Then , simply by linmcr.slhg tbe Iron therein
It will bo quickly brought to the desired
temperature.
Two or thrco trifling changes may be
niado In the tank. A metal llnlag wilt he
provided , perhaps. Possibly some other
llmtld may bo substituted for common water ,
although It has been proven beyond a doubt
that the latter \a \ entirely adequate for the
work. The most Important modification ot
the apparatus the only essential one , In
fact Is provision for sending a ( lowertul
electric current through the tank In the
proper manner. On this account , the in
vention Is known as the "electric liquid
torgo. "
Over In Newark the other day , \\hen
tests ot the device were being made , It was
found that a railroad splko fully an Inch
In diameter acquired a cherry tint fifty
eecoiuds nftcr Itns dipped Into the cold
bath , \\hllc a half-Inch wrew bolt cumo
to a white heat In eighteen seconds
SUPERIORITY OF THE SYSTUM ,
AVhen the new system Is brought to per
fection nnd Introduced Into boiler ships ,
carriage factories , smithied and similar es
tablishments It la likely to show Ids su
periority over the old one nt two or three
points. For Instance , In the liquid forgo
oily that part ot the Iron which is actually
submerged receives the direct action ot the
heating proce&s , and It Is acted upon uni
formly along that much ot Us surface ;
whereas , when It la poked down Into ll\o
coalfl on a hearth the chancca are that
cither more or lesa ot the Iron Is hcateil
than the \vorkman wishes , and that cne part
will bo murh hotter and softer thrri the
other. Then again , when lion Is worked
n the common' forge1 It oxldtecs nnd gives
off scales , thus wasting the 'material , weak
ening the article and verhnjis spoiling the
It hi some Job. There U much ren n for
iclievlrg that the electric forge will prove
uioro cccnoinlcnl and more convenient for
certain classes of work than the other btylos
now In common use.
The general artangemout ot Hi's ' \\ondcr-
'ul apparatus Is as follows- The tank Is
about cis big as a Kitchen sink , ami stands
on four legs. It Is a portable affair. Two
carefully Instil tied wlrrs , proceeding cither
from a dynamo on the premises or from
Eomo general power and llshtlns cltvult
outside , are ledi Into the room. The "posl-
Ivo" wire Is connected with the metal Hu
ng of the reservoir. The other wire is De
emed , by welding or solder , or othetlso ,
o a pair ot tongs , whoso handles are cov
eted with Insulating material. The nega-
Ive wire Is long enough and flexible noUi (
o allow considerable movement by the
vorkman. The latter merely grasps with

SIMPLICITY OF Tlin : Ol'IMlAT OX.
The why and wherefore of the operation
hero described are so simple ns to bo un
derstood hy a child. When the endi of two
wires leading from a battery , dynamo or
other generator of electricity nre linmo'v-ed
In a fluid , the passage ot the cut tent
through the latter , from the one terminal
to the other , tends to disintegrate the Iluld
Into Us elements. Water , for Instance , la
separated Into oxygen and hydiogon g.iscs
If the liquid be a solution of nitrate tt
silver , that salt IK broken up Into nitric
acid nnd pure sllvo" . All known substances
under such clrctin anccs show a dlsnoil-
tlon to gather about ono or the other ot the
two terminals , or poles. That fact Is turned
to advantage In electroplating. The sllvi-r
which Is gradually liberated by electric dis
solution for electrolysis ) . Is deposited on
some object fa fork or spoon , say ) at the
end of ono wlro , and the acid accumulates
around the other. In an electric forgo. It
the liquid used bo water , thru tbo oxvsnii
gas seeks the inelnl lining of the Intli and
the hydrogen goea to the Immersed Ircm.
If isonio other kind be used the same phe
nomenon occurs , one element going In one
direction nnd , the othur ono In the oilier.
Another familiar prliHplp comes Into play
here also. When nn electric current Is ncnt
through a circuit It proceeds quietly If the
conductor IH largo enough and of the right
character to favor Its icissagc. Hut If the
conductor , or a short link In It , be reduced
In slzo or be poorly stilted to ( tie flow , then
the resistance which Is ottered at that par
ticular point produces heat. This Is the
reason that a carbon filament grows whlto
hot ki en Edison lamp ns soon as the elec
tricity Is turned en
Now , In an electric forgo the copper wires ,
the metal lining of the tank , the water ,
the tongs and the iron nplke which the work
man wishes to Cleat are nil excellent con
ductors of electricity. Hut the film of hy
drogen gas which forms around the negallvo

resistance which It offers produces Intmsa
heat , and docs so lustantlv. That effect
would not be observed If a fcoblo current wtrc
employed. lint a powerful current requires
hotter facilities for travel than aweak ono
and If Its demands are not compiled with
It getfl "hot In the collar " The heat thua
generated Is Imparted to thn Iron rather
Ifvjn the wuter , at the point of contact.
Itonco the effects which liovo born observed.
The appuratuH which has recently been the
subject of experiment 111 New-ark , nnd which
eventually ought to prove serviceable In cer
tain lines of Industry , was , devisedby a
Rcston man , Oeorgo D. IHirton. Hut the
fundamental Idea of It was discovered about
five years ego hy two Belgians , Lagrange
and Holio , who took out patents ki Onr-
tnany. It was iHillovcd at one tlmn that the
sjstem could be applied on a very much
larger flonlo tlmn Mr. Hurlon proposes and
that It might rrovo useful In I' " ' ( vi.-itniont

During the Auguit evening we can fcaat
our eye * upon the beautiful picture pre
sented by these two prominent bcuutlcs of
the heavens gradually drawing closer and
closer together. The conjunction between
the moon and Jupiter this month finds the
two at such a distance apart that the at
tractiveness of the tableau Ucry greatly
lessened.
Uranun Is still among the morning stars ,
and on the 21st It roaches the quarter post
In Its circuit. The planet Is to be found In
the group of the Scorpion , close lo Saturn ,
but not near enough to any very consplctl-
otts star to aid In distinguishing Its exact
location !
Saturn nlso conies under the heading ot
the morning stars nnd Is to bo found In the
Scorpion group , 'fairly close to Uranus.

Mars and Mercury nro very close to-

form a most pleasing sight for the eye to
rest upon , only without artificial aid Ita \
not pnwlble to pick them from the sun's
engulfing brightness. Marn has ronjmietlmi

this Is the closest mooting of the kind
for the month. It Is qulto aggravating to
