Although tta pntent t ns now expired, and Its usefulness In part done away with, this little machine, not so big as n typewriter, worked a revolution In a grcnt Industry, and to day there Is not an Inch of straw braid sewed Into hats by machinery any where thnt does not employ a part of Mrs. Hooper's invention to accomplish tho work. Mrs Hoopor Is tlie daughter of a for mer Now York lawyer, whose fingers Itched with Inventive skill, while he kept them bound by the red titpo of his profession so the cource of Mrs. Hoop er's Inventive faculty Is not hard to find. It was while alio w.ib still Miss Carpontcr that eho learned through iricnus or tho curious state of aiTalra in the atraw sewing trade, Up to that time, 1871, there had been but one practical strnw-sewlng ma chine Invented, which machine was controlled and used by a combination of thico or four flrm3 engaged In tho manufacture of straw hats and bonnets. It wnr called tho Bosworth ranahlne and was Immensely valuable although tho operator had to bo expert beforo she could mako a bat, as tho sewing had to be dono backward, from the j brim to tho crown, nnd when done tho ' hat was wrong side out a condition I which often resultod in breaking tho j straw whllo It was being turned right. J As Miss Carpenter had shown herself posHPFsou or pronouncea mveniivesKiu, of which tho patent office already bore record, these facts were pointed out to her by some of the leading manu facturers. who were obliged to sow all their straw goodrt by hand, and she was encouraged to rnAke a now ma chine which could be generally used. In 1S7S sho received a patent for her first model of a machine, but it was not satisfactory to herself and no boc ond machine was built from It. A Bee i ond attempt a year or two later did not yet fulfill all tho requirements sho strove for. but in Juno. 1875, Miss Oar- , penter complotcd a machine that could ! mal ll Irom ,tB P or t0P t0 tho outer, edge of tho brim without taking It from the machine, and when It waB finished It was right sldo out and did not have to bo turned, and, moreover, i concealed the stitch a result hereto- foro unaccomplished. Tbe ftaludecr't Endurance. Mr. F. G. Jackson haB marvelous tales to tell of tho rolndeer, their speed and enduranco as animals of draft so marvelous Indeed that ho must for glvo us for suggesting that ho has mado a mistake in his ilgurcs. "1 havo myself," he writes in tho London Spectator, "driven three rein deer a distance of 120 versts within twelve hoUrrv without feeding them, and I hear 0 of ii case whero a Zlrian drove reindeer J'rom Ishma, on the Pechora river, to Obdorsk, op tho Obi, a distance of 309 versts, within twenty four hours, " A reindeer, or Samoyer vcrst. by tho way, is equal to four Russian versts." In other words. Mr. Jackson says ne I has driven three deer for twelve hours I at the rate of forty Russian versts, or twenty-seven English miles, an hour. i And the Zlrian, with a similar team, ' covered 710 miles In twenty-four hours. , Tho latter, by the way, musj have crossed the Ural mountains and one or two rivers in tho bargain. Surely there must be some mistake. Thero exists, It is true, a well-known tradi tion of a reludeor which onco about 1700, we believe carrier important dis patches for the king of Sweden 800 miles In forty-eight hours, and. dying In tho service of the king, la still pre servedIn skoleton form In a north ern museum, Dut that, after all, Is only a tradition. Better authenticated records do not give a higher rate of speed than 150 miles to nineteen hours, which Is considerably higher than what Is attained by any other animal.

In tho West Indies tho dried leaves and prepared portions of the stem aro used as packing matorlals, sayB Cham bora' Journal. Fresh leaved aro used to Bhado young coffeo or cdcoa seed lings In nursery bods, and to cover co coa beans during fermentation. The young unopened loaves nro so smooth and soft that they aro used as dross ing for blisters. In India tho dried stalk of tho plantain leaf Is uacd as a rough kind of twino and tho larger parts aro made Into small boxes for holding snuff, drugs, etc. In tho Malay peninsula the ash of the leaf nnd loaf stalk Is used Instead of Boap or fuller's earth In washing etothes, and a solution of tho ash Is often usod as n salt In cooking. In tho Dutch Indies, tho skin of tho plantain in usod for blackening Bhoes. The Juice which flows from nil cut parts of tho banana Is rich In tannin and of eo blackening a nature that it may bo Used as an Indelible marking ink. In Java, tho loaves of tho "wax banana" are cov ered on tho under sldo with a whlto powder, which yloldB a valuable wax, clear, hard and whttlch, forming an im portant article of trade. The ashes of tho leaves, stem, and fruit rind are em ployed In Bengal in many dyeing proc esses. In Slam, a rlgarolto wrapper is made from the leaves. Fiber lit got from tho stems of many kinds of bonannn. Tho most veluablo is tho "maullla homp" of commerce, which holds tho chief placo for making whllo ropes and cordngo. Old ropes mado of It form an excellent papormak ing maicrlal. much used In tho United States for stout packing papora. Tho mnnllla liomp Industry la a large one. About 53,000 tono of fiber, valued at 3,000.000, aro annually oxported from tho Philllppino Islands. Tho ma nllln hemp plant Is grown oxcluslvojy In tho southern part of the Philippines, nnd all attempts to grow It clsowhcro have failed. Many articles are mado from mnnllla hemp mats, cords, hats, plaited work, laco handkerchiefs of thu finest tcxturo, and varloua qualities of paper. At Wohlau, In Switzerland, an Industry hns been started for malting laco an- materials for ladles' hats from it. By a simple process It Is made Into ttraw exnetly resembling the finest wheat straw for plaiting. Mi- t', i.pi- scntitml bjr ft Volcano : .,ustlno peak, forty miles east of j In a state of eruption. A week .go last Tuesday Day King tnd Llge Davl3, who were out upon tho mountain, heard a rumble In the earth, which as followed soon by a distinct explosion. About half a mile from them on tho north side of the peak a large granite bowlder soared aloft ' nd fell with n crash among the looso rocks, Tbe flight of the bowlder was followed by a puff of steam and ashen. The fam ily of Mr. Hufford also saw the erup tion. Tho next day Mr. Borgerot went to the place where tho explosion oc curred and found & depression partly filled with ashes from which the bowl der had been ejected. The snow was gono for somo distance around the holo and tho ground was perfectly dry, Mr. Bergert soon became awaro that his feet were uncomfortably warm and thnt steam was going up his trousers and Bcaldlng his legs and, fearing a repetl t.on of tho volcanic eruption, ho has tened away from tho spot. St. Loula Globe-Democrat. Aluminium Skate. One of tho most important aluminum novelties of tho year la the Invention of a New Yorker. It Is a racing skate that Is almost without weight and at the same tlmo sufficiently strong to stand tho tremendous pressure brought by skaters ambitious to break Dcoghue's record of a mllo la 2:12 1-5. The skato is composed of a fctcel runner eighteen Inches long, one-sixteenth of an Inch thick and almost as thin as the blade of a knife, Tho blade Is supported by a pe culiar shaped aluminum support, on top of which Is a light strip of mahogany, making a beautiful and artistic skate. One of the greatest probloms skate man ufacturers have had to contend with was tho production of a skate with a knife-like runner eighteen inches or moreen length, strong and rigid, and yet light enough to make their use prac ticable An Old Jai'k-Knlfa. J. E. Marccau of Mlllbury has come into posces3lon of a hand-forsed Jack- KJlLKLZffSS blta a short time ago and gave him this knife. Mr. Alnrccau says that when ha was a small boy there was a stone bouse la St-Roch that none of the peo- pie could remember having been in- fouud. 'r.nt. y. t r 23ssssas??nr;:; 7" "-' -
