Mach of the so-called cognac -which is

the product of the potato. Throughout
Germany the game uses are common.
In Poland the manufacture of spirits
from the potato is a most extensive
trade. "Stettin brandy," -well known
it, commerce, is largely imported into
England, and is sent from thence to
many ot her foreign possessions as the
product of the grape, and is placed on 1
many a table of England as the same,

designation can dc Coloyne. But there
are other uses which this esculent is
turned to abroad. After extracting the
iarina the pulp is manufactured into or- :
zmuieiital articles, such as picture frames.
biiiitl-boxes and several descriptions of i
toys, and the water that runs from it in
the process of manufacture is a most l

KOREA'S TIGER.
No trees were allowed to grow near
the small villain- it Xorihern Korea,
whore little Korea lived, for fear of
the tigers. Last year the tigers had
come and taken oil" a man and woman
sleeping quietly on a mat near the open
door, ami lhe villagers mig'.'t possibly
have saved them had it not been for 'he
trees, among which they escaped with
their prey, so the trees were all cut
down.
That was the reason that Korea's
little home stood out so bare and prom
inent on the edge of th- village once
so thickly wooded.
Little Kor.a had been tip an hour
before the n-t of the family, getting
ready the u-u:il H o'clock breakfast
when her father called her.

while the pebble?! pounced up and down
in their hiding place like beans iu a
bag. There was' a strong, tough root
in the way which she intended to step
over. Instead, with her eyes on the
cake, she tripped over it and sprained
her foot seriously.
It all happened so suddenly that she
could scarcely understand it. Hurling
the rest of the rice cake from her. she
limped and hopped further and further
into the wood. Then the pain began i
to come tinj streaks of agony that j
soi.n made walking intolerable and
held her a distressed ".nil weening

"Perhaps it can be bound." she
thought, and she wound some big.

i of officer Hardoo. Tell him our vil

, by early evening, if he wishes them.
1 Now repeat the message licit I may
, see if you can say it straight."
Little Korea did so. still looking down
I at the lioor. and in a gentle, subdued
tone that is considered necessary when
! addressing Korean parents.
"Very good: now hasten away and
get back in three hours, so that no
time is lost. In these war time, time
Is everything."
At the door, as Korea went out. was
her mother, with a rice cake in her
i hand.
' "1 think you may be glad to nibble
: it. Korea: though the distance is but
i live miles, one gets faint iu such warm
I weather.''
"Mind you the tigers!" ang out her
I brother, who was. like the mother,
awake earlier than usual.
! "Get drescd and go put the parlor
, in order like a good Korean boy. in
i stead of frightening the poor little one
! about tigers." called his mother,
j "Hah! You talk as if girls were of
I Importance." he rejoined, turning over
! on his mattress for another snooze.
Little Korea paid sligin heed to this
conversation. She tucked the rice cake
' out of sight iu her blousy jacket and
: hurried ofl on her commission.
It still seemed early in the morning
to her and she enjoyed her rapid walk.
, If she thought of tigers as she entered
; the wooded belt it was to remember
! that they seldom molested people in
1 daylight, so all alarm was quieted.
! Once she stopped abruptly. She could
not remember whether her father had
! said one or two hundred men. Her
, brown face knit itself into a network
! of wrinkles as she puzzled over the
question. Finally she decided it must
1 be two hundred, because her village
was larger than sjme of the places
about, and so it would be the larger
number of soldiers it could supply,
i For fear that she might again grow
i cmfiiM'd about it. she stooped ami
picked 200 tiny pebbles out of the sand:
these she carried in each hand as she
rapidly hastened on ng iin.
Soon she reached the edge of the
wood belt and entered Sico. as yet but
half awake in the warm morning light.
"You are a small one to be asking for
the ollicer Ilanloo." said a kind-faced
man. wlioni she spoke to a the only
one stirring on the sleepy street. "I
am he. What is it';"
Little Korea made her bow of salute
elaborately, and fastened her "yes ab
jectly to the ground.
"My father sent me to say to the most
gracious Ollicer Ilardoo that our village

her little brown palm-; and looked at

Several long, weary hours went by.
Korea had long ago brushed away her
tears as useless, and sat silently endur
ing the twinges of pain, honing some
one would come through the wood who
would help her.
Xo one came, and she buried her face
in her arms waiting, wailing and shiv
ering as the pain snot througn her loot:
then there was a rustle iu the leaves
that caught her ear. Like a frightened
rabbit she sat creel and listened iheii
turned io leap somewhere into the
gathering night, but her foot refused
to move and with a palpitating scream
she fell headlong to the ground.
The rustling had ceased, hut there
was a soft tread coming nearer and
nearer. Little Korea lifted her head
faintly to see a crouching tiger ready
to spring upon her.
1 With a great effort she struggled to
her feet. What had she for defense?
, Nothing. Still her small brown hand
clutched at the pebbles inside her jack
et and she Hung them like grape-shot
into the face of the diamond-eyed ti
ger. He drew back Avith an angry growl,
his sharp, white teeth showing in the
; dark of the night. Korea caught her
breath and hurled another handful of
the pebbles into the monster's face.
"Tu-e. lite!" cried several strong
, voices from out of the darkness,
l This was the tiger hunt cry. Korea
I recognized it with the glad feeling that
1 help was coming, as she dashed one
i more and the last handful of pebbles
into the tiger's face and fell tuicon
! scions to the ground,
i There was a quick snapping of lliut
, lock guns, a clearing away of smoke.
! and something else lay straight and
! still upon the ground near Korea, its
I fur brushing against her hair, its paw
across her hand.
"Ah. we've killed hini!" "That was a
good shot." "Isn't he is a tine old man
eater V" cried several of the soldiers
that ollicer Hardoo was taking to join
Korea's father's 1!ik able-bodied men.
"Hut what is this':" exclaimed tn-
other. looking at a dark heap on the
ground. Officer Hardoo Hashed some
powder into the darkness for a mo
ment's light.
" "Tis a child." said he. "A girl I He-
i hold it is the Utile one who came lo

J "that we came in time."

Two devicts. which should be cf
great service to the photographer, have
just made their appearance. Those
who have had experience in photogra
phy know that the most picturesque
scer.es do not always make the best
photographs, for the simple reason that
( without the aid of orth achromatic
! pkitei, staine.l cre n? and long cx-
' posures. it is ditncult lou uie operator j
' to to secure the correct light and shade ,
values of nature, upon which the ;
artistic merit of the picture so much j
depends. The colors which are most .
orilliant to the naked eye are not the
, most active on the photographic plate:
yellow and lvd appear ti o dark, violet
and blue too light, and unless the oper
ator has a knowledge of photographic
light and shade, the picture is likely to
be characterless and disappointing.
Spectacles have been constructed for
helping the photographer out of this
difficulty. They are mad. of a special
ly prepared ami colored glass, and it
is claimed that they tran-late the view
into a monochrome, so that on looking
through them the photographer ob
serves the scene with precisely the
same light and shade as w-'dl subse
quently Ik' shown in his picture. An
other invention is declared by a leading
photographic journal to be "one of the
ii'opt important advances in practical
work for many years." This invention
is styled an "eikroiioineter." and is in
tended for the timing of photographic
developments. The production of Un
successful negative is dependent upon
' various influences, the temperature.
strength of developer, etc. The length
' of time given for development hashere
! tofore been decided by the appearand
. of the plate and individual experience.
! The new i list rumen t is based on the
; discovery that almost etery influence
which lengthens or .-horieus the ie
quisite time of development also length
' ens or shortens in the same ratio the
period of the first app -am nee of the
. half tones of the image. This affords
i an accurate basis for timing develop
ment, aud the tint of appearance is
multiplied by a given factor to indicate
the correct lime of development. The
! eikronoiiK-ter is a siua'l black clock.
, nrouud the dial of which a hind trav- j
1 els in teu minutes. Its circumference 1
is provided with a simple slide rule j
for multiplying the "time of appar- '
! mice" by the "multiplying factor." The
i front glass, which revolves, is provided
with an indicator to set against, the
total time of development, the hand
being always started at zero when the
developer is poured on. It is claimed i
, that this instrument enables the oper- j
ator to secure niu"h greater evenness
1 and clearness in ihe printing quillty
of the negative.

According to some recent discoveries
i many of the navig.it ri .f the air have
been working upon altogether mistaken
premises. They have failed to take
, into account the action of currents of
' air a given distance above the earth's
; surface. The first important point to
j decide in the construction of flying ma
, chines is the relation between powd
! and weight. It is held by those who
j have given much time and thotisht to
' experiments in this line that fifty to
one hundred pounds is the limit of
t eight that any machine built on nc
oguized theories can lift from the
! -ground. But this idea may be very far
from right, especially iu machines con
structed so as to move with gre.it j
rapidity. A water wagon might be j
' constructed, provided it had instead of ;
for reading or study In a bad light,
when lying on the back or in a moving
train, as important factors in the pres
ervation of the eyesight. All work,
and especially that requiring the con
tinued and entire attention of the vis
ual sense, should be governed by one
rule, and stop short of fatigue. A
change of occupation, a ride or walk
in the open air, a plunge in the river,
and. above all. a good night's sleep,
all help to rest the overtaxed eyes, and
restore their strength and tone. Many
people make a great mistake in post
poning the use of spectacles. The op
tician should be sought, and if the
eyes require help, no matter whether
the person be twenty or forty years
of age. glasses should he employed
forthwith.

Dr. J. Hobart Egbert says that a
large proportion of ;he prevalent weak
ness and defectiveness of eyesight Is
cau-ed by want of proper aire hi the
management of children: Children
should have, to b.-gin with, unlimited
air and sunlight. .Manv mothers Hre
1 either lamentably ignorant or culpably
careless as to what their children
should eat. A light and uourish'ng die; j
should be allowed, the amount of sugar j
' should be reduced to a minimum, and
candy should be uitlrely barred. Weak
sight and other ocular difficulties are
often ;! e result of early straining of the
eyes. Citildrni's hooks should ijv.Mia
' bly lie printed in large type. School
rooms should have good light and fr sh.
wholesome air. The stu.ly of books and
near objects should be of short duration
aud should be interspersed with black- j
board or otlur obipct lessons, which '
may be viewed from a di-tajice. and
with outdoor exercise or play. The
reading of pi luted music is a great
: strain on the e3'esight. and should in
variably b" followed by allowing the
eyes to r.'st on some distant cbject.

The Ciilcrllic Vnliie of Smote.
An engineering journal, in discussing
various popular misconceptions of
scientific phenomena, refers to the fre
quency with which it is stated that
large amounts of valuable fuel are
poured into the air in the form of
smoke from the chimneys of factories
and the funnels of steamers. Such
statemetr.s are now declared to be al
most entirely without foundation, and
it is held, that no appreciable economy
is likely to be effected by smoke-eon-suuiing
devices and that manufacturers
should demard before adopting fiiem
much more convincing and sounder
reasons than those usually given. The
analysis of a series of furnace gases
made by a committee of the English
Institution of .Mechanical Engineers,
showed absolutely no carbonic oxide
in any of the eighteen samples taken
from each fiitui"l. The city analyst of
(Jlasgow. Scotland, maintains, as the
result of analysis, that in all ordinary
coal the heating power of the Avhole
of the hydrocarbons is only a small
proportion of the total, and hence,
even if the whole of these escaped
combustion entirely, the loss would
not be so serious as it is commonly
stated to be. Even soot, contains only
about U0 per cent of combustible ma
terial, and samples collected from
heavv smoke showed only 31. 4U grains
of soot per 10 cubic feet of furnace
gases. The soot consists largely of
mineral or. incombustible matter. Care
ful experiments show that the solid
combustible matter of the smoke can
only account for the very small per
centage of 0.71 of the total heating
power which can be obtained from the
coal. The conclusion reached is that
the real waste in smoke is very small
indeed, and the popular belief in im
mense loss from this cause is simply
a fallacy, and is decidedly not cor
roborated by experiment.

If there were no dust w. would have
no blue sky. n clouds, rain. snow, or
beautiful sunsets. Dust furnishes the
groundwork for all these. The small
est particles of dust reflects blue light,
hence the distant sky. where the light
est atoms float, appear blue. The
smoke from the burning end of a cigar
is of bluish color; that drawn through
aud blown from the mouth is white,
because the particles are larger and
can reflect, more white light. The skv
in cities appear gray or whitish be
cause there are large particles of dust
in the atmosphere. Hut the most im
portant office of dust is that of a rain
producer. As the particles float about
they gather moisture which is preci
pitated iu rain. It Is said that "if all
the water evaporated by the sun from
the surface of the sea and land, not
one drop returns that has not con
densed upon a particle of dust as a
nucleus." Kut for dust the air would
be full of vapor, which would condense
upon everything it reached. It would
enter our dwellings, saturate our gar
ments and trickle over our walls and
furniture. Therefore, while we may
be greatly annoyed by dust, we should
be much more inconvenienced by the
absence of it.

The legal possibilities of transfusion
were brought out in a recent suit in
an English court. A man who was
very ill was treated by transfusion of
blood as a last resort. He recovered,
an after a time his gardener, from
whose veins the vital fluid was taken,
fell ill. Some one suggested that bis
contribution to his employer might
haw caused his illness, whereupon he
brought suit, claiming sixty thousand
francs damages. After a good ileal of
legal investigation expert wen; ap
pointed to examine and report on the
case. This look so long that the man
died before the report was finished.
The widow however, continued the
suit, even though the post-mortem ex
amination demonstrated that death
was caused by cancer of the stomach.
The courts decided i favor of the de
fendant, on the ground that even
though the man's vitalily might have
been impaired by the loss of blood, his
voluntary offer for the benefit of an
other individual released the recipient
from all financial liability that might
be claimed on account of the transaction.
