The Latest Imported Fad.
!A wholesale firm in New York has
imported a number oi 1 ladies' canes.
These canes come from London and are
the ' fad among fashionable English
"wpmen. They furnish another exam
ple of the homage which is still paid
to royalty Jin that : extremely limited
monarchy oh the other side. The queen
has become so old ' and infirm that she
cannot walk, without the support of a
cape, and in order that their beloved
sovereign may not be conspicuous in
her infirmity 'the English ladies have
made the cane a fad. It is not the elder
ly I lady who carries it, however, for that
would reflect still more upon her majes
ty's advancing years. Nor is it the new
woman who "sports" this attribute of
masculinity. jThe young and frivolous
society girl is the one who twirls her
stick on the boulevard and promenades
at fashionable watering places. The cus
tom began late last summer and has in
creased in favor until it has boiled over,
asjit were, into this country. : ,
'' The canes which have been brought
oyer are selling for $2 apiece, but these
are only plain and carved wood without
any gold or silver ornamentation, such
as English girls boast upon their walk
ing sticks. - i . .

- In casting steel there has always been
more or less difflaulty from the tendency
of the melted metal to splash. This pro
duces flaws and cracks, on the surface of
the ingots used for forging guns. These
ingots weigh five tons and; upward.". It
.naturally arises that such a large quantity
of x metal falling from a height into the
molds would spatter and splash. The par
ticles thrown off cool rapidly and are pro
ductive of a great Ideal of trouble. By a
new and simple method this is prevented,
A tube is prepared of thin sheet iron, auoh
as is used for roofing. The tube is 24 inch
es in Inside diameter and is suspended from
an iron ring, to which there are riveted
three bars on the surface of the mold. The
steel is poured from the bottom of the ladle
into the middle of the iron tube. 'All the
splashes are thrown on the walls of the
tube, which gradually melts away during
the rise of the surface of the liquid steel in
the mold. It is by such little devices as
this that a great deal of ime, trouble and
work are saved. New York Ledger.
The Mystery of Electricity.
By use of the word "electrloity""we ex
press a phenomenon which ia only known;
through its manifestations. Sometimes it
Is spoken of as "electric fluid," but; that
it is not a fluid in the true sense of that
word is well known to all scientists. ! The
word "electricity" is also used to name
tbe science which treats of the power and
other characteristics of the "unseen force."
Electric force, when in a state of rest, is
called statical electricity; when in motion,,
dynamical electricity. This wonderful and
mysterious force may be brought into ac
tion by heat, friction and other agencies,
but what it Is and whence the source of
supply "no man knoweth. " St Louis

I -. Brain Measures. ' '-, -A
machine in : operation at the Uni
versity of New York is known as jthe
pendnlant chronoscope. - By means of
this experiments are made in measuring
the brains of children and charts are
drawn out giving the results. A child
is shown a shutter and told to press a
button as soon as the shutter drops. , The
interval between the pressing of the
button and the dropping of the shutter
shows how quickly the. child can re
spond to an optical ) impression, and,
consequently how smart it is. The
charts show that boys average better
than girl in brightness and general ca
pability. v.; -.-,--"'"
