Animated Lamplighters.
In the day of our grandfatherslnci
ler matches were not the common ar
ticle that they are now, and it is only
a few years ago that they were so ex
pensive aa to cause substitutes to be
largely used where possible. Many
readers remember rolling up the
leaves of their old copybooks, when
boys, into lamplighters, and the man
tel shelf in the kitchen of the old house
in the country had its dish filled with
nicely made ones ready to convey the
flames from the fireplace to the lamp
or candle.
The youngsters of the present day
have no use for these articles, unless
it may be to play a trick with them
like the following: Take a strip of
quite heavy writing paper, about six
or eight inches long and two inches
wide. With a common table knife
curl this strip, by drawing the paper
between the thumb and edge of the
knife.
Now carefully unroll the strip and
bend it in the middle lengthwise the
inside of the roll outward, lie careful
in bending not to take the curl out
any more than possible.
After bending cut a slit along the
bend to within half an inch of each end.
Then hand to the person upon whom
the trick is to be played, of course
not letting him see any of the prelim
inary preparations. Light a match and
touch to the end of this lamplighter
And set it on fire. Perhaps a better way
would be to have one of the lighters,
also, without the victim's. In a mo
ment the end will burn off and release
the curled side, which wiii tiy back to
the hand of the holder and cause
him a lively jump.
The trijik is an amusing one and not
the leastf dangerous, for the victim
' does not generally hold the paper long
enough to get burned. '
Improved Fire Escape Devices,
A decided acquisition to the means
Available for the saving of life and
property from fire is a new extension
ladder and fne escape which can be
readily raised or lowered by a steel
wire cable operated by a windlass.
The ladder can be taken from the
truck on which it is brought to the
scene of the fire by eight men, extend
ed to 66 feet in length and secured in
forty-six seconds, or, when lying on
the ground, in thirty-seven seconds.
It is constructed of Upland spruce
timber, and the iron and eteel work
is made as light as is consistent with
strength and safety. Excellent as is
the work done by the fire brigades in
this country we have still something
'to learn in some departments of the
service. This is shown by the credit
able record which the adoption
of improved appliances has enabled
the Fire Department of Vienna to
make. In that city the firemen are
provided with a sort of diver's suit
and a fine mask by means of which
they can make their way into a burn
ing building in spite of steam and
smoke and effect rescues that would
he impossible without these devices.
The danger of suffocation is greatest
where the fire occurs in the cellar,
and in such cases even the firemen
have to use the utmost caution. The
smoke will often collect in such dense
masses that any ordinary light would
be extinguished, but this dirliculty is
overcome by the use of a zinc flam
beau invented by the chief of the de
partment. Vienna is said to have
one of the best organized and most
efficient lire departments in Europe.
- Electrical Utilization of Niagara
It has been supposed that ad the
work looking toward the electrical
utilization of Niagara was being done
on the American side, and the truth
as that so far the practical operations
have been confined to the New York
shore, where the borings have been
steadily pushed for some time by a
company which has 87,500,000 be
hind it. But there is a Canadian
scheme also on foot, and our cousins
take so kindly to it that they have al
ready invested 8200,000 in buying
up some of the Niagara and Queens
ton Land and Electric Company's
Teal estate. The broad idea involved
in this Canadian project is to tap the
Chippewa river, on the Canadian side,
cany the water across country by
canal, a distance cf about two miles,
to the Queenston Heights, and there
discharge it into the the Niagara river
as it swirls along below, a drop of
320 feet being thus secured, which is
double the drop obtained at the
Falls. By this means the company
expects to furnish not less than 100,
000 horse-power at Queenston at the
modest rate of $10 per horse-power.
A new manufacturing city of Queens
ton is to bo developed on the mag
nificent highlands traversed by the
canal, as, has been said, the plan is
looked upon with no small favor in
, "the Dominion and in Europe. There
- oems, in fact, to be no good reason
why it should not be carried out ex
cept the absence in Canada of a large
market, such as is provided in Ameri
ca, for manufactures.
Automatic Adding and Recording
Machine.
A remarkable machine, styled "the
comptograph," has recently been pain
ted. By its means figures may be placed
in tabular order with the rapidity of
ordinary typewriting, and their
amount can at the same time be
automatically added with absolute
certainty. The machine is adapted
to record and foot upeight columns,
of figures, and it can be made with
even a capacity of ten columns.
'The first two columns are used for
units and tens of cents, the next three
columns for the units, tens and hun
dreds of dollars, and the remaining
three for units, tens and hundreds of
thousands, the machine being thus
adapted to nil amounts under a mill
ion dollars. The comptograph is
THE
an outgrowth of the comptometer, a
universal figuring machine broguht
out not long ago, which also waa
operated by keys, but which did no
printing. The comptograph prints
lists of columns of items, and adds and
automatically prints the answer
beneath them at the same time.
Besides its advantages in clearness
and accuracy it u said to enable an
operator with very little practice to
doa muL'h work as can bedonebytwo
men in the ordi cary way. For list
ing checks in a bank, for the use of
insurance companies, for the prepar
ation of such extended tables as are
furnished by various statistical
authorities, and for other purposes
where accurate and rapid work is
difficult to secure, this machine has
already proved itself a great success.
Is the Electrio Light Injurious to
the Eyesight.
Some very sensible remarks are
made by H. L. Webb in a recent ar
ticle on the effect of the electric light
on the eyesight. Mr. Webb says that
unquestionably the electric light is in
jurious to the eyesight as many
use it, and any other light would
cause the same trouble if Used in the
same reckless fashion. Many people
think because the incandescent lamp
gives but comparatively little heat
that they can safely place the lamp
right under theirnosesso as to get the
greatest possible amount of light on
their book or paper or work. They
totally disregard the fact that the
light is also sending its rays directly
into their eye3, and even the strongest
evesight cannot stand that sort of
tiling very long. If people used a lit
tie more common sense in disposing
their electric lamps, so as to eet a
good amount of light on the object to
be illuminated and the minimum
amount shining in their eyes, there
would be fewer complaints about the
electric lights being bad for the eyes,
minium.
Increasing Use of Rubber Tires,
The application of rubber to wheel
tires has proved a great boon to the
bicyclists, and the increase in this
branch of industry is remarkable.
There are 100,000 bicycles made every
year in this country, and 40,000 more
are imported. As all these have tires
of the best rubber, it can be seJJ
that a good percentage of the world's
supply is absorbed in this way. Each
tire weighs on an average between
tlir-ee and four pounds, and this to
gether with renewals involves a yearly
consumption of not far from one mil
lion pounds. The solid tire was first
used, but the cushion and the pneu
matic are now the popular forms.
Each of these, however, is being furth
er modified and improved, and the
comfort of bicycle riding is being daily
increased. The cushion tire is not li
abletopuncture.andtakesthejarwell, but its weak point at present is its
liability to crack at the sides in
the interior. The pneumatic consists
of a rubber tube jacketed in a stout
canvas sack, which prevents its being
burst from over inflation and other
accidents. The whole is covered with
a large encasing tube of rubber. The
canvas sack is cemented to the outer
rubber tubing, and the interior is in
flated by an air valve. This form of
tire, which is not yet perfected, has
the advantage of being easily repaired
by the rider in a few minutes by the
roadside. The repairingoutfit consists
of a hidden pressure tube filled with
quick-drying solution, rubber for
patches, and a supply of canvas.
These adaptations of rubber enable
the rider to travel Ions; distances, day
after day, with but little ill-effect from
the concussion which once affected so
materially tiie health and comfort of
the bicyclist.
Does Wood Absorb Disease Germs?
A celebrated physician has remark
ed that every house ought to be pull
ed down at the end of the sixtieth
year, as it has by that time absorbed
all of the diseases of those that have
lived in it. This idea is based on tho
theory that wood and plaster absorb
gases, foul air, and feverish exhalation
as rendly as milk or water does. But,
as it is not practicable to tear down
houses every half-century or so, some
eminent authorities claim that all ttie
wood used in the interior construc
tion of houses, and all to the surfaco
of plaster, should be thoroughly oiled
or varnished, so that the power of
absorption would be almost entirely
destroyed. In the latter event the
destruction of houses on sanitary
grounds would no longer be desirable.
Scientific Hints.
A machine has been invented for
picking hops, which it is claimed will
do the work as clean and much more
ra'pidly than it can be done by hand.
The description is very simple, and it
requires but two men to work 'it.
The improved sewing needle, recent
ly introduced, secures the end of the
thread in the eye, instead of having a
running thread, as in the case of ordi-.
nary needles. One end of the eye is
chisel shaped, with sufficient elasticity
to hold the thread perfectly rigid.
A system of photographing in colors,
following that of M. Lippman, pro
ceeds on the theory that there are
four primary colors green, red, blue
and violet. Four pictures are taken
simultaneously by means of four
lenses, in front of which is a screen of
th'3 color originally used. Pictures
are produced which include the colore
of the original.
Mr. Edson J. Haddock, of Big
Springs, Tex., has patented an in
vention for arresting all sparks on
locomotives andconsumingall smoke,
which well-informed railroad men say
must undoubtedly soon come into
general use. It does away entirely
with the oridinary smockstack of the
locomotive, and is said to improve
the draft of the furnace.
The method of purifying water, in
vented by Dr. William Anderson, ai:d
now employed at Antwerp with suc
cess, consists in passing the water
through a slowly revolving cylinder
containing metallic iron in' the form
of scraps or filings. The estimated

THE MARVELOUS METAL
ALUMINUM GRADUALLY CON
QUERINQ SKEPTICS.
1U Vnk Foist That of All Iofaaole
Alnadr Enthroned la My Lady'
Toilet It I Pnahios; Iu
W7 K very where.
Aluminum in appearance is a white,
shining metal of a shade between sil
ver and platinum, and lighter than all
other workable metals. It U found
chiefly as silicate, in clays, slate, marl,
granite, basalt, and a arge number of
minerals. Mica contains much alum
inum, while rottenstone is an alumi
num silicate, mixed with organic mat
ter. Lavoiser, the chemist who worked
so laboriously for the scientific- world,
was the first to establish its probable
existence. His death on the guillotine
in 1791 cut short his investigations,
however, or be might have made the
discoveries that other chemists did
twenty years later. Sir Humphrey
Davy and Oersted in turn were quite
successful in their experiments, but it
remained for Wohler, the German
chemist, in 1827, to separate some of
the true metaL Its great advantages
were soon known, and scientists im
mediately set to work to discover pro
cesses whereby the cost of freeing it
from its compounds might be reduced.
At that time sodium, an important
factor in its preparation, was worth
$100 a pound, while the other materials
used were equally expensive. Mr.
Sainte Claire Seville, a professor in
the Ecole Normalo, at Paris, in 1854,
invented a process which reduced the
cost of metallio sodium to 90 cents per
pound, and that of chloride of alumi
num to 25 cents. Sulphate of alumi
num, which is used in the United
States Pharmacopoeia, was also cheap
ened, The present cost of metallic
sodium is about 20 cents.
The specific gravity of aluminum
when cast is 2.56, and when subjected
to pressure ranges up to 2.67. It is
lighter than glass, and has more than
four times the displacement of silver
and does not require as much heat to
be melted. The properties cf aluminum
are many and important Although as
malleable as iron, says the Cincinnati
Commercial-Gazette, it has greater
tenacity and equal cnnstructibility and
stiffness. Its greataft use, as soon as
its cheapness is demonstrated, will
probably bo as an alloy, where, in most
cases, it adds to the hardnoss and pre
vents oxidation upon exposure to tho
air. There are but two companies in
the United States at present interested
in the production of this metal
and their wares have everywhere at
tracted attention, mostly on account of
the newness and experimental state in
whioh aluminum still is. Then, more
over aluminum is not a total success.
In the infancy of all metals a certain
period of failure has had to be over
coma and it has only been after a num
ber of years that their true value and
acquaintance have been established.
For instance, only recently has an
aluminum soldor been obtained which
has been able to withstand the tests of
ordinary soldered bodies and which
does away with riveting. Welding
aluminum, . except by an expensive
electrical process, still remains a se
cret It will not be until these things
are discovered and their practicability
proven that aluminum will assume a
place of great importance, and in any
way revolutionize things.
Mr. C. M. Hall, whose process of re
duction is generally used; is a gradu
ate of Oberlin college and an Ohio
man.
Mr. Hall does not think aluminum
is a suitable material for structural
purposes, but that it does compare well
in strength with other metals, and for
purposes where lightness combined
with moderate strength is desired, not
only will it become useful, but it is
being largely used to-day. As alumi
num is so remarkably free from tar
nishing, next to gold and platinum, it
is being largely used by dentists in
making dental plates, and also for dec
orative purposes it is taking the place
of silver, as it will hot become black
ened upon exposure, but retain its lus
ter for a long time. At present, with
a few exceptions, the results of its
manufacture are knick-knacks, such as
inkstands, mirror frames, thimbles,
charms, ring9, plaques and match
boxes, the workmanship on most being
extremely artistic and substantial in
the way of repousse work and floral
and conventional designs. Thes9 are
done in two finishes, frosted and pol
ished. Bar and snaffle bits and har
ness furnishings, cast in aluminum,
have proved to be the equals of those
in steel, not affected by exposure, three
times as light and free from all corro
sion. The price of an aluminum bit is $2.
while the best steel bits sell at f 1 and
1,60, but the advantages of the
former outweigh this difference of
cost
. Recently a bit cast in aluminum un
derwent a steady strain of 900 pounds
before breaking. Horseshoes are other
useful articles made, but there has
been somo difficulty in fitting them to
the foot. One lasted through 370 miles
of travel, and had been on the horse's
foot four months and four days before
removed. This was not over hard
pavemetits, but the ordinary country
turnpike. Horseshoes sail at $4 per
set
Feathery composing "sticks" are
made of this metal, which, of course,
are not so tiring to the hand, but have
no othor advantages.
The only place in the city where
aluminum is being used for light con
struction is in the Neave building,
where more than 300 pounds are being
put in as plate glass sash bars.
Aluminum as an electrical conductor
ranks above copper, and as hard drawn
aluminum wire can readily bo made,
having a tensile strenght of at least
60,000 pounds per square inch, it bids
fair to becomo an important agent in
this capacity. It has great resistance
to the destructive effects of the electrio
spark, and may be used where other
metals are torn to pieces.
As soon as aluminum is cheaper
the price to the manufacturers now
ranging from $1 to 1.75 per pound
we may expect to have many now arti
cles mode out of this useful metal.
Let us hope that the time is not far
distant Aluminum is yet new, but it
is not likely that many years shall
have passed before its properties are
understood; before the world is pushed
on a foot or two by its effect various
industries, before flying- ships, for war
and peace, made of the ahiniag metal,
sail safely through the mid-air.
COMANCHE.
RU Speech Wa Barely Without a Paral
lel la History.
He was a male Mrs. Malaprop a
masculine representative of the flowery
Mrs. Partington, and I shall never,
never forget him.
He was called "Comanche." because
be had once been captured by a tribe
of Comanche 'Indians while herding
United States' cavalry horses In Ari
zona. Escaping from captivity, after
five years of an adventurous career he
drifted into Dakota by way of Call
fornia and Puget Sound.
While in California a local San
Francisco litterateur picked him up,
absorbed the salient points of his life
for a wild Western romance and set
him adrift with a suit of clothes, 100
in cash and a fondness for big words
that had grown to be hopeless and
chronic.
On a certain Fourth of July, Co
manche, dressed in a patched and
threadbare suit of black, bis coat set
off by a buttonhole bouquet consisting
of a spear of turkey foot grass and a
wild rose, mounted the platform and
coughed forebodingly. Uy special in
vitation he was to address the people.
Ladies and gent" he began, "no
doubt you are wondering mightily to
see Comanche debilitated in this linen
and fine purple; to see him shine
despondent in all the luminosity of
civilized testaments. But wonders
will never exterminate. We live in a
hegira of progression, and Comanche,
counting, himself foremost in this
heterogeneity, is hegiring himself to
the very complex and pinnacle of
pneumatic humanitarianlsm I declare,
and 1 speak voraciously, that there is
no anecdote for solecistical poison.
"So, when I say that the Fourth of
July is a destitution reared to endure,
you will all be prepared to coincide
with my diagnosis of the country's
pulse. And 1 am glad t think, this
day, that when this poor frame is given
ovor to absolution, I may be interro
gated in a soil of such desecration.
In closing my remarks, I trust I
may bo permitted to add that this
sentiment is sic semper tyranttia in
othor words, 'the voice of the people.' "
Oarelene New Yorker.
In a city where there is such a scram
ble for money it is somewhat remark
able that New Yorkers run such risks
with great sums. A little man with
$300,000 in the pocket of his overcoat
hurried through a crowd in Nassau
street one day holding an umbrella
with one hand and a cigar between
the fingers of the other. An ordinarily
expert pickpocket could have gotten
away with the money without detec
tion. Recently a lad was sent to Brown
Bros.' banking house to deposit a coi
tlfled check for $65,000. Ho went
along swinging it in his hand. In

the check on end. He played with
the valuable paper as if it were simply

"I am making a sympathetic harness for
the polar terrestiral force," explains Mr.

the sympathetic concordant force that ex

ativing the thirds, sixths and ninths of this
concordance, thereby inducing high veloci

A blush is defined by Dr. T. C. Mluor as
"a temporary erythema and calorific ef
tulgonce of the physiognomy, apologized
by the perceptiveness of the censorium

from a sense of shame, anger or other
cause, eventuating in a paresis of the vaso
