TH AMERICAN. HOME OF THE COLD WAVE. Valley of l ulrri Hrttl.a ..lalla twid ! IW lu Marttaf l'Ut-r. It Is frequently asked: Vhr do cold waves ordinate? The et.Ment ponton of th North American conti nent, says the Washington Post, 1. in U probability. In the Saakatchev. an Valley, eat of Mount Hooker and Mount Hood, both of which are altu ted In the Kocky Mountain range that fllvldea Hritiish Columbia from the val ley and the Alberta country. The height of this mountain range prevent the eastern trend or flow of vaKr from the Pacific Ocean from crowing over Into the valley, as It would were it not for the presence of this high range of mountains. Yet It must not be sup posed that extreme cold always pre vails here, because at certain intervals the vapor from the Pacific flows east by way of the Alaska peninsula, through the upper valley of the Atha basca River into Alberta and the val ley of the Saskatchewan, and there meeting with a more southern and eastern flow of vapor that flows through the gap In the mountain range, made by the Bay of San Juan, it warms nd expands the atmosphere, crosses the path of the cold wave, and a warmth of from 20 to 40 degrees Is the result, as we often see graphically marked on the weather map by red dots here and there on Its surface. But this does not satisfactorily answer why It Is that the cold wave leaves Its home In the above mentioned valley to go Junketing on a southern tour. To find the cause of those successive cold waves which we experienced from time to time last winter we will have to look In quite another direction, down to the northern tropical latitude, where the great evaporation of those warm cur rents and ocean surfaces is carried westward from the Atlantic Ocean by the trade winds, and Is massed together between the winds of the eastern off shore winds, blowing sometimes from Florida, and at other times from Texas, but In either case promoting cyclonic action, which has the effect of enlarg ing the area of the storm, and the im mediate result Is an enormous expan sion of atmosphere usually denominated "low." As this "low" moves across the surface of the middle or eastern states It pours down large quantities of water In the shape of rain, and is constantly receiving accessions of cloud matter to replenish Its energies; and thus In this manner it creates more or less of a vacuum Into which the air from the northwest Is drawn with more or less momentum, and the cold wave Is completed. DOUBLE-BARRELED NAMES." Vie of the Uyphen Is Usually a Place of Snobbery. Hyphenated names In Europe may be divided Into two categories namely: those wherein the hyphen is a mere piece of snobbery and affectation, and those wherein it Is consequent upon a legal obligation. The latter are In the minority and are borne almost invari ably by legatees and their descendants, who have Inherited property, usually real estate, contingent upon their tack ing the name of the testator on to their own. Or else they are men who have married Heiresses and been accepted as husbands for the latter on the condition that they should append the family name of their wives to their own patronymic. People in the other cate gory who use the hyphen merely with the object of creating the Impression that they are of more ancient lineage than Is really the case invariably pre fix, lnstc id of appending, the addition al name. And It is this that enables one to distinguish the "bona-flde double-barrel," as Lord Randolph Churchill used to call them, from those who are not For you have only to ask Mr. Ponsonby-Jones for the name of his paternal grandfather In order to find out that the old gentleman was a sim ple Jones, devoid of the aristocratic Ponsonby; whereas In the case of sur names adopted in deference to testa mentary dispositions one will Invaria bly find on Inquiry that the paternal grandfather and ancestors bore the first of the two patronymics. The persons who make use of hyphenated names without being compelled to do so are usually the owners of patronymics ex cruciatingly pleblan, who hope, vainly It Is true, to redeem the commonplace character of their name by prefixing thereto one calculated, they trust, to ereate the impression that they are con nected with some of the great houses of the nobility. Thus it is uite com mon to find Montmorency-Smiths, Plantagenet-Roblnsons, and Vere de Vere-Browns. Ornamentation of Glaus. The ornamentation of glass Is now proposed to be effected by means of an Ingenious process In which a coat of acid resist is laid on the glass, and from the parts forming the background to the design the "resist" Is removed with a stencil, soda and hydrofluoric acid be ing then poured upon the sur face; hydrofluoric acid Is next applied, the resist removed, and the glass cleaned, the latter being now coated with stain, the use of the sten cil being the means for freezing the ornament from such stain, the latter remaining as a protection for the back ground. After burning the stain Into the glass, the latter Is taken from the kiln, cleansed, and the required outline traced upon the glass, the background at the Bame time filled with acid resist; the solution of soda and hydrofluoric acid is again poured on so as to leave a white "mat" on the whole ornament, leaving the outline, which is protected by the resist, clear; the shadlng-ln is then accomplished in the usual man ter. Ants That Make Neat. A new phase In the wonderful Instinct of ants is the case of formica smarag dina of Malacca, which makes its nest In trees. Joining the leaves together by a thin thread of silk at the ends. The first step tn making the nest is for sev eral 'ants to bend the leaves together and hold on with their hind legs, when one of them after some time runs up with a larva, and, irritating it with its antennae, makes it produce a thread with which the leaves are joined. When one larva Is exhausted a second is brought and the process is repeated. -Philadelphia Press. Fnenmatl Boot. The pneumatic principle has been ppHed to boots.

The Maa from raUn.1 Had S.OOS la Ills WanlriHt. Over two weeks asa V. 11. S'lctaolson of New Zealand arrived hero on the steamer Mariposa, and put up at tbo American Exchange hotel, says the San Francisco Examiner. He was so roughly dressed and so unique In sp pearanee, with a queer bunch of whis kers on bl chin, that he seemed a walking advertisement of hard luck. He had arrived In the steerage, and be took one of the very cheapest rooias In the house. Vnder these circum stances Manager Wiseman was In clined to keep-a wary eye on him. At the end of three days Mr. Wiseman broached the Idea of settling bis bills. The queer guest said he would pay the bill in the next day or two. He did not, however, and he was spoken to again about It. Still there was a hitch, but finally the New Zealander said he would go upstair and get the money. After a while he came down with It and paid the bill. Then be explained that the reason why he hadn't paid It before was that he bad all his money sewed up In his vest On Investigation It waa shown that he bad a surprising amount There was no less than $5,000 in bills and English sovereigns, mostly the latter, besides $1,000 in drafts. The sovereigns weighted the vest down till It was as heavy as the owner, and all an able-bodied man could carry. They were skillfully and stoutly sewn In from the bottom up, so that all around bis sides and front there was money, and the back of the vest had to be strength ened with leather straps to keep the garment from being pulled to pieces. This queer contrivance, loaded with coins, bills and drafts, the man with the billy-goat whiskers bad been lug ging with him wherever he traveled. There were fears at times that be would be robbed, but Nicholson has al ways Insisted that be could take care of himself. A few days ago, after re turning from a warm walk down town with his load of cash, he threw off his heavy vest In bis room and put on another one to cool off. He finally stepped down stairs, leaving tbe door open. He sat at a desk for a long time, forgetting about his cash. Suddenly he recollected It, his face assumed an ashen hue, and he vanished upstairs like a streak of light His precious Test was there, though, hanging on a chair. He grabbed it and put it on, and since then has worn It constantly. Nicholson came over to Invest his mon ey, but did not find anything to suit him, so the land of the antipodes will get him again. He sailed on the Mari posa, the same steamer on which be came. Cataloguing a Creat library. A word more In regard to the prob lem of the card catalogue. A few ye,ars ago It was proposed In this library to print its titles as they then stood, and an approximate but safe estimate showed, after cutting the titles down to the minimum of intelligibility and correctness, that such a book catalogue would fill more than seventeen vol umes, closely printed in somewhat small type and In two columns to a page, each volume to be of quarto size and to contain 650 pages. By the time this colossal feat could have been done enough titles would have accumulated to make it desirable to repeat the task at once. Since this estimate was made the type-setting machine, with its speed and economy, has become a revo lutionizing element In the printing world. This library is now asking Itself how this invention can be used toward solving the catalogue problem. It Is- proposed and machines are al ready made for the purpose to print the titles of all new books, to use the titles as heretofore in the card cata logue, and then to save the "slugs" on which each title will be cast until enough have been accumulated and al phabetized to form the baals for a gen eral printed catalogue. The slugs will still be saved, and by a constant proc ess of accumulation and alphabetizing new editions will at any time be possi ble. "The New Public Library in Bos ton," by Lindsay Swift, in the Century. The Campaign Liar. The campaign liar will have a hara time in England after the passage of the bill pending in parliament which forbids him to exercise his talent. It imposes a fine of $500 and loss of suf frage for five years as penalties for disseminating slanders against a can didate for office. It makes no difference whether the slander is original with the person who utters it or not, he is liable to the above penalty If he cir culates or repeats it, unless he can show that he had good reason for believing it to be true. Hearsay will not serve as such defense, but the offender must prove that he has taken pains to satisfy himself that what he tells Is true. What havoc, such a law, well enforced, would create in this country in a campaign year! Character on the Wheel. Each man retains the peculiarities ot his gait on a bicycle to a certain ex tent. One man, for instance, who limps a little ln walking, does the same thing on his wheel, emphasizing one stroke more than another. A second, who moves with long strides when his feet are on terra firma, simply translates this motion to meet the new environ ment when he goes out for a ride. A third, being a brisk, energetic little person, always walking rapidly, keeps his legs going at a relative speed on his safety and couldn't stroll along if he tried. Betting Killed In Pennsylvania. Horse racing in Pennsylvania has been kiMed by a bill that passed the legislature forbidding the sale ot pools or betting of any sort in the state. It is especially directed to break up the pool-rooms. While hitting at the pool rooms it has wiped out all betting. PROGRESS OP BIFURCATION. Krevnl (Ttaaiplr of lh tirowlag f"evar ml Kent Krform. The new woman I a-'ln t put her self in evidence by reforming her cos tume according to slisna from all over the country. The bloomers f an early generation are now blooming out In more graceful If root Hurtling gar ments. The news thMt the progressive women of Iltuburg have made de mands on their modiste for bicycle garments advanced to the degree of knickerbockers and IckkImkh 1" matched by similar reports from other points. A young woman at Ann Arlr was ta booed from h-r boardinK-house for adopting that fin do sleole costume, and by that martyrdom has been ele vated to the position of queen of a cult Elmore, O., has not been exactly known as a center of fashion, but when twentyfour of Elmore's daughters swear to wrar the garments which In terfere neither with pedestrlanlsm nor pedalling it Is plain, says the Pitts burg Mspatch, that they intend to lead the newest fashions. We do not under stand that the fair dress reformers are, as a body, adopting the ground which their predecessors did of the mldcen tury, that skirts must be abolished on hygienic grounds and for the emanci pation of woman. The new cult ac cepts hygiene as a side Issue, Is confi dent of being able to emancipate her self whether she wears skirts or not, and bases the new departure on the principle Impregnable In the feminine system of logic that they are wearing the things in England and France. Whether the difference In principle la responsible for the difference In results or not It Is a fact that while the bloom ers of the '50s were something fearful the bloomers of the '80s are something stunning. Of course. It is subversive of our long standing conventional rule ,gnel, ,t , efllcacious. She grad of propriety to find our progressive 0o ,. . , .... . young women whirling along the street In the garments heretofore considered sacred to masculinity. But after the first shock Is over we may perceive that garments adapted to the purposes for which they are worn contain nothing essentially Immodest. We can certain ly reconcile ourselves to bicycle suit and bunting costumes without more difficulty than to fashionable bathing dresses. If the new woman determine to wear the new garments, the mascu line objection will not prevent her. Many males can, Indeed, be found who will assent to the proposition that she may emancipate herself from the slav ery of skirts provided she frees the rest of the race from the depressing tyranny if the theater hat . , i THOSE WOMEN.

Sir John Thompson's Funeral. The obsequies of Sir John Thompson, the Canadian premier, cost $50,000. The amount raised by public subscription for his almost destitute widow and chil dren amounts to only $35,000. In other words, the statesman's family asked for bread and grateful Canada gave them a magnificent funeral. PHYSIC WITH YOUR PIE. Tko "rood Care" New Ylrtukl Among Iriur In I nal.ait. The "food cure" In a cmn.jratlvely new Idea, Introduced Into Knglalld by several physicians of advanced Ideas, who boldly advance the roosltton that they can cure ordinary human III by dieting and without the use of medi cines, says the New Vol It M.ol and Ex press. They claim that certain food contain all the elements inry to effect cure; that they have made up a list which embrace tonics, febrifuge, dluretli-a. and. In fuel, every medicinal agent that Is defined In the pharmaco poeia. These f.iods are of the simplest character, but the English doctors do not disclose them, except to their pa tients. They say that In the course of ten years there will not le one-third th medicine used that is used to-day, and they point out the f a t that the sale of quinine and all antipyretics has de creased In the last five years to a re markable degree. "There is a good deal of common sense In the Idea." said a physician who had heard of the new de parture, "and It niHy take If doctor generally will go Into It. but I fear pa tients will not Why? Well, you might convince a man that be was getting sufficient Iron for his system when he wa eating beef, or that If he needed starch he could get It from bread In stead of from pills, but you couldn't do that with a wman.
