Those who are Interested In compari sons between the vast Industrial estab lishments of America on the one hand and of Europe on the other wilt find no cause for disparagement In the cose of the latter. In view of fax-ts officially published In a recent London Trades Review. From this It appears that the largest number of blast furnaces pos sessed by one concern In the world Is owiwl liy the Alpine Montan Gesell sehaft of Vienna and Styrla, which has a total of thirty-two furnaces; but as most of these are of old plans and methods, worked with charcoal fuel, the fart Is more Important that of the modern clans of furnuces the largest number owned by a single firm Is twenty-six. owned by the lizards of Glas gow, who own the works of (Jartsherrle, Ellngton, Lugar and Mulrklrk of Scot land, thee being equal to a total out put of 400,000 tons a year, or about one-third of the total plglron produc tion of that country. Next to this firm Is that of Hokkow, VauKhn Co., of Mlddlborough, with a total of twenty-four furnm-fs, equal to an annual output of 750.0UH tons of plg-lron If. all were In blast. The capacity In both of these cases Is below that of some Amer ican Arms, although the number of furnaces Is larged. Emeralds In Russia. Emeralds, some of which are very fine, are found In the district of Ekat. erlnburg, along the banks of the To kova river, about fifty-two miles from the capital of the district. Mining for this precious stone began In 1941, and at the beginning gave very good re sults. The first emerald was found by a peasant named Maxim Kolevnlkow In 1M8. while he was examining the roots of a tree which had been uprooted by a storm. It Is pretty certain, how ever, that discoveries of the same kind had already been made In 118. It Is even possible that finds had been n.ade prior to them, as the Czar Boris Qo dounow presented the Venetian engrav. er, Fronds Ascentl, with a sable fur and 100 ducats for having cut a large emerald for a ling. The finest emeralds were found when these stones were being mined for the account of the gov ernment. During this period, that Is, up to 162, 5,600 pounds were extracted. The government afterward farmed out the mines to private parties, who were not successful. The emeralds of supe rior quality have been found near the surface of the soli, while those found In deep ground were of inferior quality.

Stonemason's sawdust Is better than soap for cleaning floors. Kerosene oil will clean blackened sil ver almost Instantly. To keep moths and carpet butrs from all woolen goods and furs, sprinkle them with cedar chips. China closets should be scalded and freshened at least weekly and a little borax water sprinkled on the shelves. To keep away roaches take green cucumber parings and strew them around the kitchen tables and cup boards and see how quickly the roaches will disappear. To wash cut glassware use pure oan and hot water and apply with a large toothbrush. Each piece should be wiped with a clean cloth as It la taken from the water. Air curtains, beat well and put in cedar chest. If stained use a little ben slne appl wletldh HlaacadtheT bnd tine applied with cloth the same color as materia Never use white cloth. Lace curtains should be washed before packing away. It is not good to keep the dust In them, but they should not be blued or starched. If the moths have begun to eat your carpet, take the tacks out, turn it back one-half yard all around the room, wash the boards with a saturated so lution of camphor, putting It on with a paint brush; then lay the carpet back In Its proper place, put over It a towl wrung out of water and camphor, and Iron It thoroughly with a real hot Iron, so as to steam it through and through, and this will kill the insects and oil the larvae. Expert Coal Thieves. Coal stealing from railroads, common along the lines of all the coal carrying roads, has been reduced to a system in Syracuse, the Post-Standard of that city says. The thieves work hard and take many risks, not only of detection but of bodily Injury. Their methods would be called clever If employed In an honest business. The heaviest thieving Is done by men with sacks, who climb up between the cars of a slow-moving train, with two or more bushel sacks concealed under their clothing. As opportunity offers they fill a sack and throw It from the train, to be picked up by accomplices. Anoth er trick is adopted by men who. dressed like tramps, board trains as If with the intention of stealing a ride. These men travel along from one car to another, apparently seeking a com fortable place In which to lie down, but in their progress they manage to dislodge a large amount of coal, which Is subsequently picked up by the wom en and children who are employed In the "Industry." Large quantities of coal are stolen by these and other methpds, the plunder being disposed of to unscrupulous dealers, who subse. quently rob the honest poor by dishon est measure. King of Linguists. No man, however great his powers of memory, could acquire even a smat- terlgn of all the living languages. They number 800, not to mention 6,XK) dialects. Eighty-nine languages are allotted to Europe. 123 to Asia, 114 to Africa, 177 to America and 417 to the islands of the Pacific and Indian ooeans. Probably the most remarkable lin guist the world has ever known was Joseph Caspar Mexzofantl, who wag born at Bologna In 1774, created cardi nal In 1838 and died at Rome in 1848. The list of languages and dialects which he acquired reached the astounding to tal of 114. It would be Interesting to know what system was pursued by Cardinal Mez- zofantl In the study of languages, but little light Is now obtainable on thin subject. The most famous linguist of antiquity was Mlthrldatpft, king of Pontus, who Is said to have been thoroughly con versant with the languages of twenty- five nations over whlrh his rul ex tended, and Cleopatra, queen of Egypt, of whom Plutarch says that she spoks mast languages, and that there weru but few of the foreign ambassadors to whom she gave audience througn an in terpreter. Gambled But Once. Senator Stewart of Nevada tells the following story of his only experience as a gambler: My nrst and only ex perience was In Han Francisco In thi spring of 1S50. I was a youngster, and iad wandered Into a resort called lha El Dorado, at which all sorts of games were In progress, and on the tables were plied up huge socks of gold and sliver coin. I looked on as a green youth would, and I was attracted tu a roulette wheel. A miner was betting 100 at every turn, and luck seemed to come his way. I didn't have murh money, but concluded I'd take a chance, and started In with a silver quarter, following every bet of the miner. I ran his 25-cent piece up to and though elated with my fortune, obeyed the promptitude of prudence and quit 'As I went out of the place I heard an old gambler say: 'He'll be back In side of an hour and lose it all.' That remark, for all I knew, had a great In fluence on my after career, for I not only resolved not to go back, but nevei to fight any game of chance In the fu ture. So I quit the gambling then and there and kept my resolution." The New Evolution. "Hsve you noticed that the pretty girls are the ones who get seats In the cars, and that the unhandsome ones generally have to stand up?" asked the man who doesn't know whether he had rather be Schopenhauer or Mark Twain. "Tea, but what of tlt? I don't quits understand what you are driving at." "Well, you may not know It, but that condition Is going to bring about the salvation of the race." "Oh, I know. The women are begin ning to take a decided stand on matters and a more elevated point of view." "Don't be an Idiot, l m In earpt. Tou know the law about the survival of the fittest snd the process of evolu tion. Well, It Is evident that the only way In which an unhandsome lady can get seat will be to grow handsome. Now this will have Its effect on thi third and fourth generations and finally all our women will be beautiful and able to get two seats on the cars If they want them. They simply have to iM handsome, or they won't get a chancs to sit down." Lady Do you make half-tons pic- turesT Kd Howland No. ma'am. Nothing but hlch-tonsd pictures msde hers Cincinnati Enquirer.

Tl.e work is tar more cleanly that pointing, either in water colors or In on, and the Im plements require lesa attention and care.

"in addition to the rare pleasure re sulting from known ability to create beautiful things, there are greater ben tilts accruing to the sculptor, not to mention others. There is the fact that he his learned the better to appreciate and value proportion, form and delicacy of outline, and this knowledge, aside from the personal satisfaction it brings, enables him to Judge with true accu racy the artistic merits of all things, natural or manufactured, having form as their basis. This essential sense, can be secured In no other way so readily. Indeed, the artistic faculty, the aes thetic taste Itself, can be perfected only by a fair knowledge of the truths which a course in wood sculpture sup pltes. "This fact Is being recognized In this country now. us It has long been rec ognized and observed in the centers of high art in Europe, and even In the far east. Wise masters of the chisel now bring their dainty craft to the art lovers of our nation, and the void that has been felt in the art education of this young country will not long con tinue. Art in every form is but the expression of a refined sense. Indeed nothing more surely marks the spirit of true refinement than the degree In which an Intelligent love of the beau tiful is manifest Hence it is that cul tured persons are not only constant pat rons of art. but seek themselves to be come proficient In some one or more of its branches. "Music, sculpture, painting, ceramics and various other familiar forms of like endeavor have furnished expres sion to men's increased and increasing culture, and given broad opportunity for the development of individual fac ulties and tastes. Great as have been the benefits to mankind from the achievements of masters in the several lines mentioned. It may be well assert ed that the chlefest good has come from the attention given thereto by cultivated men and women, who sought only further self-Improvement, and not the mere making or fortune or a name. "This chaste love for the refined has become markedly dominant In recent times with the better classes, as la evi denced by a large number of such per sons who.

And yet In every such case, the only end sought was, as before stated, the high culture of self and the Increased means thus secured of contributing to the pleasure of others.

'jjoatoo Transcript- There are few members of the animal IrlnaTdom whose work Is more marvel-jin than that of the geometric spider and those related to him. Dr. Henry Laney of Cumberland, Md., who does consider able experimenting along scientific lines for a pastime, baa lately been studying the thelyphonides, a species of spider, that builds its web over the water along streams and rivers, with interesting re suits. After securing the web, which, In Its natural stats, is comparatively invisi ble for photographic purposes. Dr. La ney proceeded first to make it tenacious by spraying it with an alcoholic solu tion of shellac from a medical atomizer. Though still comparatively Invisible after this treatment, the web could be handled with ease, without fear of tear ing It To develop the beautiful work of the spider. Dr. Laney, with another atominer, sprayed the web with a so lution of gallic acid, which made it ap pear as if frost had settled upon it. The web now seemed to be covered with the morning's dew. To complete the effect Dr. Laney captured the Bpider, put him in the death box and then coaled him with shellac Deftly placing the Insect In the web In a natural position, he was sprayed with gallic acid. Using black velvet as a background. Dr. Laney suc ceeded In photographing one of the most beautiful and delicate pictures found In nature. Dr. Laney says: "The spider displays wonderful Intelligence and mechanical skill in making these nets. Its instinct is far above that of the ordinary am- mal; Indeed, It quite borders on reason. When a large spider desires to mak a web for himself and he has some die tance to stretch it he does not swing himself, as most people suppose, and let the wind or his own momentum take him where it will. He begins his web by starting the first guy very close up to the corner of the angle. He attaches to the other side of the angle, making a short guy. Each guy increased in length, the spider always using the lust guy made to carry the next one over until he attains the position In which he wishes to place his net The lost guy may be ten feet long and the first one only a foot In length. "When the guys are all fixed to his satisfaction he proceeds to put in the network by storting from the center, where he attaches his web, then with circular motion traveling from guy to guy, spinning web as he goes and ty Its natural moisture sticks It to each guy, carefully carrying the web In his hind feet to prevent It from touching except at the point desired by him. When he has a small distance of the In side completed he goes to the outside of the net and finishes out any Irregular part of the net that does not come within the radius of a circle. After the circle has been attained the same ro tary motion is kept up until the net in finished in the center. "Here comes the most oomlo feature of net building the test of the durabil ity of the work by the spider himself. As soon as the net Is finished he puts every guy through the severest test, by sharp, brisk jerks, seemingly sufficient to tear the whole net to pieces. If he finds the net Is not taut, he will go to the end of the guy rope, stretch It until the net sluts him and reattach the guy. If the net still seems loose from the center the guy will be carried from the center to some convenient point, to give the net Its proper shape. I he nets are perched so as to catch mosquitoes and small Insects. The struggles of the prey generally serious ly damage the nets. The spider him self in the morning demolishes the rest of the web for the day, with the excep tion of the main guy ropes, retires to a secluded quarter and again appears late In the afternoon, about 1:30 c 5 o'clock, and renews his net It requires him about an hour and a half to con struct the ordinary web. This work Is done every day, rain or shine, and both male and female spiders are equally in dustrloua. The baby spiders are taught industry, beginning net building right after their birth. While bulldinir his net the spider takes no notice of the accumulation of Insect life in its meshes and when his work of building is fin ished he pounces upon them ravenous ly, oonsumdng them In toto. You can not kick or blow these spiders out of their nets, nor can they be taken una wares. When they fall their own net Is attached to them, and they can al most touch the water and then quickly run back on a silken string which they spun while falling. The web Is always attached to them. When the main guy of the net becomes too full of Insect ce brls for convenience and comfort the spider goes out consuming all before him, and at the same time spinning a fine wb behind, entirely renewing the guy." St Douls Republic. watering Horsea. It Is a very plain fact that It Is al ways best to furnish a horse with an unlimited supply of water which he can take at will. An animal under these conditions will not take too much but when we take Into consideration how few stables are so fitted as to al low this being carried out, It Is In most cases out of the question the more so as horses are out on long Journeys or employed In work, coming to the stable hungry, thirsty and tired. Seventy five per cent of the animal body Is compoeed of water, and It Is essential to the bodily health that this propor ion of fluid and solid constituents be maintained. The secretion and fluid excretions are constantly tending to reduce the fluid parts below the nor mal, says the Breeders' Gazette, and at no time Is this more aparent than after ing and active work the loss result- ng from increased perspiration and respiration. It Is at this time that popular opin ion would withhold water until the an imal oools down. Now I have always made It a practice to permit the horse to take what water he requires at that time. When It Is warm In all Its parts, with an active circulation, It Is best able to resist the chilling effects of a draught of cold water. The stomach empty the fluid passes Into the bowels and Is rapidly alssorbed, thus supply ing tho necessary fluid to the blood, without which the various secretions requisite to digestion could not be maintained. "The most dangerous time to give a horse a full draught of water," says Dr. Dunlop, M. It C. V. H. (Ire land), "Is after he has cooled down from fatiguing work and has partaken of a meal. The comparatively small stomach of that animal Is replete with energy, the circulation weak, the whole system languid, and not In a state cal culated to resist the chill. The water mechanically washes the undigested food from the stomach to the bowels, Where It undergoes decomposition, evolving Irritating and poisonous gases end finally causing flatulent and spas modic colic or fatal enteritis." John B. Patrick, a professional diver, caught a mammoth catfish at Paducah, Ky. The fish weighed 156 pounds and wui nearly six feet long. 'It Is said to lie the largest one ever caught In that vicinity. Mr. Patrick discovered It In a big hollow log near the Paducah Furniture company's mill. He placed a big sack over the and of the log and then drove the fish therein. It gave him quite a tunnel before he finally landed It A young artist had presumed to fall In love with the daughter of a famous ship owner. It was long before the dawn of aesthetic taste. The profes sion was looked upon as merely an ex cuse for idleness. When it became known that the rich ship owner's daughter had encouraged the suit of a painter, society was shocked. The young man had talents, no doubt, but they were talents of a sort that did not count in those days. One day a friend entered the shfc owners nouse, and the mother and sis ters of the woman begged hits to re monstrate with the obstinate Emily and save the family honor. "The family honor!" said he. "What has Emily been doing now?" "Doing!" answered the full feminine chorus. "She's going to disgrace us all by marrying the artist!" "Pooh! pooh!" was the quick reply. "The fellow Isn't enough of an artist to make It anything of a disgrace. l he women were Indignant, we are told, but it is pleasant to know that when the wealthy ship owner head the story he was so amused that he withdrew all apposition to the mar riage. Hat Pins. Now that hatpins are selling for II, 000 downwards, the minds of Inventive geniuses are turning toward a pin that will stay in the hat, past all danger of falling out. Recently there was a patented split that was provided with a little spring which worked by pres sure. A very nice hatpin, with a head of amber, had an amber fastening accom panying It and fastened by a gold chain. The fastener was stuck In the hat so that to lose the hatpin you must lose the hot also. A very ultra little piece of Jewelry Is a band of pearls connected with the hatpin by a gold chain. The pearl band is used as a brooch or as a pin upon the breast. The gold chain dan gles from the hatpin and makes a pret ty piece of finery for the woman who likes "fixings." The band may match the hatpin, and be of any Jewels or plain gold. Any device is good as long as It holds the pin, and when you reflect that every year there are hundreds of dollars lost In hatpins, the economy of the little fastener Is easily computed. Phlladel phia Times. Two Unwelcome Admirers. A youngish widow, accompanied by a woman friend, went to Chicago not long ago, and has related this experi ence to some home friends, says the New Orleans Times-Democrat. The widow being attractive, and her friend none the less so, had the misfortune to attract the attention of two very well dressed men In the dining room of the hotel where they were staying. Of course, no notice was given by either woman, both being uncomfortably aware of the unflattering attention. When the ladles arose, they observed one of the men questioning the waiter, apparently about themselves, and a moment after reaching their rooms were surprised by the knock of a bell boy bearing two cards on his Balver. The widow picked up the cards and read aloud: "Mr. Wheeler and Mr. Wilson." Without a moment's pause Bhe turned to the boy. "Tell the gen tlemen I am not In need of any sewing machine."

The body of the table has the form of an air chamber and within it are six or eight incandescent lamps. These lamps soon raise the temperature to the proper point, when half of them may be switched off, the remainder be-, lng entirely adequate to maintain the proper warmth. Rev. L. I Carpenter.
