The shirt-waist man was "put out"
recently at SuUolk court.
- According to instructions ' Shsrill
Baker cleared the court-room of .-the
men in the delightfully cool eurnmer
girtnent. The following ia related
about a wager vhich the incident pro
voked : i
"When the Sheriff had driven them
out one of the excluded wagered an
other shirt waist man $2 he could not
attend court without a coat. The man
who accepted the let wa? of ehoit
stature juid he etased inside long
enough to win bcfoio being observed."
Few possessions on a farm or even
on a fairly good-sized lot in town pays
as well as a cow. The Monroe Journal
reprints some facts from the Moores
ville Enterprise that are worth remem
bering. Mayor C. V. Voila in IS90
purchased a cow IS months old for $25.
He kept her eleven years, during which
time the cow produced 4,000 pounds of
butter, which at the low price of 15
cents -rer pound was worth $ GOO.
Major Voil sold her for ?25 and said
the milk and the fertilizer from' the
stall had been worth the feed.
- The Commonwealth believes in
every man haying a cow if she can te
ailowed some grazing ground or some
i-xcreifcfng ground, but to keep"cows in
fbills or too small pens ail the time
slacks, somewhat of cruelty to animais.
The flying machine is coming, it
seem?, after all. Mr. Santcs-Dumornt
a Frenchman, i3 said to have about
succeeded in making a flying machine
that will not only go, but will go where
be wants it. ... It is dirri!ed a cigar-,
shaped balloon propelled' by. a prelro
leum motor and capable ol speed of
twenty miles an hour. He - gayo an
exhibition at Paris recently, and this"'
is whatsis said of the exhibition :
"M. Santos-Dumont appears to have
hU machine UEder perfect control fn
the air. At a . recent trial he sailed
five times around the Longchamps
race course at a good rate of" speed fol
lowing almost exactly the same line
every time.
"Afterwards be made his way direct
ly to several - designated points and
landed exactly where he started.
"Thi3 achievement has' attracted
much attention and convinced many
scientists fnat the flying machine will
soon be so perfected that it can be put
to practical uses." - '
The question was recently assed by
the New York ; World, What ia the
besfuse to which Mr. Carnegie can
put hia $275,000,000 hich ho wishes
to give away? - :- .
- A number of persons have expressed
the idea that the best thing would' be
for Mr. Carnegie to paKe provisions
whereby the unhappy and suffering
dinizens In the crowded city tenements
ia the North :ould be given an oppor
tunity of taking tip farm life in "the
country. .
The Atlanta Journal approves of the
plan and eays that of all the States
Georgia is far and away the best one
in which to launch such an enterprise.

INSECTS FOR FOOD.

f A French entomologist," M. Dagin,

literature o"f insect eating, but having

en spiders prepared according to the
following recipe: "Take a plump spi
der, remove the legs and skin. Eub
over with butter and swallow. How
ever, he does not recommend them,
but this may be prejudice on his part.
He states two objections to spiders.
;They are not insects, and they feed on
animal food.
' Cockroaches are a foundation for a
-delicious soup. M. Dagin follows the
recipe given hy Senator Testelin in a
speech delivered in the senate on Feb
ruary v12, 1878: "Pound your cock
roaches in a mortar; put in a sieve, and
pour in boiling water or beef stock."
Connoisseurs prefer4his to real bisque.
M. Wilfrid de FonvieUe, the French sci
entist, prefers the cockroache's in the
larval state. The perfect insect may
be shelled and eaten like a shrimp;
that way Dr. Gastler, member of the
national assembly of 1848, used to eat
them.
: Caterpillars are a light food of easy
digestion; Not only African and
American native races but Frenchmen
appreciate them. M. de Lalande, as
tronomer, had dinner every Saturday
with the zoologistjQaatreni&re d'lsjon
valle. Mmc. dlsjonvalle, who knew his
tastes, collected in lbeaftemoon all
the caterpillars she could find in her
garden and served then? on 'a plate to
her guest. The most popular insect
food is the locust". It is eaten fried,
dried in the sun, ground in flour, broiled
(among the IJeduin), boiled in milk (a
Morocco recipe), or fried and served
with rice as in Madagascar. The Jesuit
Father Cambou thinks that locust flour
might become popular in Europe as a
condiment. Travelers' opinions on lo
custs differ. .Amieis. finds they taste

FRICTION AND SPEED. 1
Clear Explanation of a Law -That
Has Seemed More or Less of a
" Mystery to Everybody.
The following explanation of why
friction is less" at high than at low
speeds is due to Capt. Galton, who gave
it in connection vVith the Gaiton-West-inghouse
brake trials in England. Rail
way and Locomotive Engineering, in
a discussion of the subject, calls it the
clearest explanation yet given. Says
the v riter: ' - (
"It should be borne in mind that any
two surfaces Which are placed in con
tact are not perfectly smooth surfaces,
but havesmall inequalities or rough
ness upon them. The figure shows in
a very exaggerated form what two sur
faces in contact may be supposed to.
" THE LAW OF FRICTION.
be like. Wfien the two surfaces are at
rest relatively to each other;the hills
of the upper surface will fit closely into
the hollows of the lower one. But if
the surfaces are in rapid motion past
each other, the upper surface will not
have time to fit itself into the lower,
but' would take a position like that
shown in the figure. Then any point
at O of the upper surface would first be
dragged up to the vertex A, and would
then-fly across the space A C, till it
struck some point O on B C. As the
speed was greater, the distance
through which O would fall in the pass
age would be less; consequently the
distance O C would be less, and the
work of dragging O -up to the vertex
C would be less also. Hence it might be-
seen how the actual work done per
foot-run of service, or, in other words,
the apparent coefficient would be less
as the speed was greater."
' Iii(ail Air for Blastina-.
In the new Simplon tunnel experi
ments have been made with liquid air
for blasting purposes. The cartridges
consisted of wrappers filled with par
affin and charcoal soaked with liquid
air.4 When. placed in the shot holes
they were detonated! with guncotton
primers,; The use of these cartridges
was discontinued because they had to
be fired within a few minutes after be
ing taken out of the liquid, else their
powr was'gonc. But the problem of
adapting liquid air to blasting" is still
being studied in Germany.

SCIENCE IN? WARFARE. 1
KaT-al Fight of the Future a Contest
Between Flying" Machine and

Navies are soon ko disappear, ac
cording to a. critip who has been
watching recent mechanical depeiopi
ment. lie knows that nothing is
more likely to become obsolete than
an existing naval institution, the
moment somethings better is discov
eredj and he point to the rapid ex
tinction of wooden warships pro

protect submarine boats, .will, ; says
this critic, render ships that float
on the surface worthless. The float
ing warship, he says, will be subject

to attack from above and from bg
neath by enemies which it cannot
reach.
lie draws, therefore, an interesting
ftnd thrilling picture of a naval bat
tle of the future, which includes a
fight between a flying machine and
a submarine boat. This, he sa ys, is
not so improbable as it .seems.
'The flyjng" machine can, he saysiv
see the submarine beneath the sur
face when it would be invisible to
men on a. vessel, just "as the s fish
hawk 'can locate its submerged vic
ti nfr" As rhe a eroplane can move
with celerity, it can hover over the
submarine until the latter is com
pelled to come to the surface for air
or rises for attack. Then it can drop
dynamite bombs upon the submarine
and train rapid-fires upon its thin
sheii. , ; , "
The submarine, however, will not
be quite helpless. A welbaimed shot
from its bow rapid-fires (which can
be uncovered the moment the nose of
the boat rises above the surface)
would instantly put the flying ma
chine out of business, thds clearing
the way for other submarines to
rise to the surface or A or a bevy of
friendly flying machines to come up.
Meanwhile, there would be no vessels
in sight. ..'(...
The critic does not, however, utter
ly extinguish ships. They can, he
says, -act in a subordinate capacity,
dependent upon the preliminary fight
ing which must be done between fly
ing machines and submarines to clear
the mouths of harbors and make
navigation safe. It. is admitted that
a "big dynamite or guncotton bomb
dropped from the air upon the deck
of the strongest warship afloat might
be likely to destroy it. Moreover, "a
submarine getting home a single tor
pedo uponthe bottom of such a ship
would sink, it. .
But naval officers (ever conserva
tive and properly waiting for dem
onstrated superiority before accept
ing so-called improvements) eomfort
themselves with the reflection that
command of .the air and of the sub-,
marine world is far from being ac
tually achieved and that so' far as
anybody can see navies will remain
in extstfen.ee for a few years yet.

there Ii Tta Truth in the Xdtlon That
- the Marks Never Chance
Throughout Liiev
"A tremendous amount of non
sense has been written about thumb
marks," said a New Orleans physi
iiau, who has a liking for the by
paths of science, reports the Times
Democrat; "It is claimed, you knowj
that the curious skin configuration
of the ball and thumb is never the
same in any two people and that it
never changes from birth to death.
The first statement is, of course, cor
rect, as no human being in the world
is exactly like any of his f ellolvs.
But the assertion that the thumb
marks never change throughout life
and would serve as a means of iden
tification from the cradle to the
grave, is, to-say the least, s decided'
exaggeration. I have given the sub
ject a careful investigation and have
shown by a number of experiments
that the configuration is liable to
such changes as render it entirely
unrecognizable when compared with
a print of the original markings: The
alterations may come from a variety
of causes anything, in fact, that will
destroy the outer layer of skin.
"I took an India ink impression .of
mf own thumb several years ago and
not long after"! -blistered both of
them pretty severely while rowing on
the lake. "Ss usual the outer skin"
peeled off and it occurred to me one
day to take, a new impression an.d see
whether the flesh surface-vWas an ex
act fac-simile of the old. I was as
tonished at the variations and all my
preconceived ideas of the immutabil
ity of the mark were .knocked higher
than a kite. It is true the changes
Were more in the nature f a distor
tion of the former patterns .than a
complete rearrangement of the lineS,
but they were so pronounced that
any value the marks may have had
for identification purposes was en
tirely lost. They excited my interest
and I persuaded a few of my friends
to loan me their thumbs for experi
ments." I first took India ink impress
sions and then removed the top skin
w ith a solution of arnica. The "skin
layer that came off was a mere film
hot nearly so thick as in. my case
yet in every instance there were dis
tinct and unmistakable alterations in
the lines. One man's second' print
was so changed you would never in
the world have identified it with the
first. Another modifying cause is
the tendency of the thumb to develop
little -horizontal creases as one grows
old. This is especially true of me
chanics and ' other working people
who use tools, and eventually the
creases will break up the skin con
figuration to such an .extent that it
is" equivalent almost to a rearrange
ment of the pattern.
"Yes, I know that popular belief
is dead against me on fhe subject,"
added the doctor in response to a
question, "but there are a lot of
things we take for granted in the
world that won't bear scrutiny." ;
WYOMING'S SOAP MINE.
All Ready to Use When Taken from
the Earth and Cut Into
Cakes. 'v ' .
Wyoming has a soap mine. A de
posit of a whitish material, in com
posite form, containing just enough
sulphates, potash and pumice to give
gritty essential, has been discovered
five miles west of Newcastle, in the
northwestern part of Wyoming, says
the Denver Times.
Th deposit lies in a fissure and dips,
into the gr ound like a vein of mineral.
The vein, so-called, is M to 18 feet
wide, and runs the length of a quar
ter section, which for 20 years up to
date was used as a stock pasture.
Probably a building of commodious
dimensions, fitted7 with machinery
that will cut the slabs of mineral soap
into sizes for commercial use, will
cover a portion of the ground.
The cleanest . town In the United
States, it is possible, will Be located in
this section. It will be free from soot
or smoke. For the factory boilers
will be heated by petroleum, found
near bynd the soap to keep th
place clean is found in such large
quantities 'in the ground, and conse
nently so dirt cheap, that men can be
kept on the payroll to do nothing else
but look out for dirt spots and quick
ly remove them.
C. W. Betts, a Denver mining en
gineer, had occasion recently to visit
northern Wyoming with E. P. Snow,
of Cheyenne, to look up some oil pros
pects. They-came by this deposit.
What attracted Mr. Bett's attention
was the appearance of a mass that
looked like soapsuds. He investigated,
and, to all appearances it was soap
suds. There had been a good rain the
night before. This had beat on the
exposed deposit in such a manner as
to produce the suds.: A trial of. a
chunk of the stuff on the hands result
ed in determining that nature . had
there left as good an arv.cle of soap
to be used for washing paint, polishing
culinary articles, removing grime ind
grease fromthe hands as could be"
manufactured by the hand of man.
Mri-Betrs has plans for developing
this unique find and it may.be. expect
ed that- in a short time the markets of
the world will besupplied with an
other wonderful product from another
of the states of boundless resources
in the Rocky Mountain region.

fewest Attractions In Materials and
Make of Airy Summer
- Costumest
The newest blouses and fancy waists
ilose either at the backor they show
;he 'revived style of fastening on the
left shoulder and under the arm, says
the New York Post. .
Thus far, the exhibit of imported
rowns and costumes in black, white,
ar black and white combinations have
proved the most elegant and attrac
tive of the season. Wholly novel ef
fects in black and white mixtures in
silks, fancy satins, laces, nets and airy
melanges in French millinery are set
lor th in artistic and beautiful form.
The new gimp shirt waist is supplied
wlth a shawd, collar that is nearly cov-
fred with lace and insertion. The
gimp is joined to a closely-fitted nnder
waist that has a trimmed front, the
neckband finished with a turn-down
lace collar. The gimp portion is tucked
ail around the neck to the depth of a
deep yoke. The close sleeves are fin
ished with turn-back cuffs, and some
'Jmes they reach only to the elbow;
and, again gathered undersleeves are
added that match the gimp in fabric.
A veryhandsome summer toilet of
embroidered black mousseline de soie
is made over, a foundation of white
liberty silk. The tucked skirt,
trimmed with a wid band of white
Venise guipure, opens down the front
over a shirred petticoat of the mous
seline de soie. The blouse waist hs
a front of Venise guipure, and yoke
and sleeves shirred and banded with
straps of black velvet ribbqn. The
pointed girdle is of velvet, and the col
lar and sleeve frills are of the hand
some lace .
The exhibition of flowered batis-tes,
organdies, French lawns and India'
muslins this season is more attractive
and beautiful than any display of sim
ilar textiles eveE made in.this city. The
array of French batistes is notably
dainty and -elegant, and some of the
most charming gown fe for June brides
maids and graduates have been made
of embroidered batiste, lavishly fin
ished with soft ecru lace flounces,
scarf-fronted fichus draped low on !
the shouTders, and yokes and under-
sleeves of plain batiste deftly gauged.
Hand-embroidery and hem-stitching
have been used in place of lace and
insertion on some" of the most exclu
sive of the batiste and other trans
parent "dress" gowns of the summer.
"Celestial blue" is the name of the
very newest of t"he tints of this still
remai-kably popular color. It is an
even more beautiful shade than bvbe

Dressmakers very frequently select
the corselet skirt for traveling, out

and pretty on a fairly slender figure,

the- details of a waist of the ordinary
kind that calls for careful fastening,

GIRLS WITH POOR VOICES.
Need of Eloentlon Lessons Is Often
Apparent When Speaking-
In Poblle.
The most noticeable defect in an
otherwise excellent dramatic per
formance recently given in this city
hy a set of college girls was In the
matter of voices. Of the large cast
there was just one young woman who
possessed a voice of anything like
requisite quality. Hers was both rich
and carrying and itAwas an added
pleasure to listen to her lines as she
spoke them from the contrast with
the others, says the New York Sun. ,
Thin, throaty tones or, worse, those
with a distinct nasal intonation, are
bad enough to the sensitive ear when
used in the key" of ordinary conver
sation. When it is needed to expand
such voices to the declamatory point,
then lack of volume, displacement
and mellowness are painfully evident.
Faithful practice-may do much to
correct faults of emphasis anil inflec
tion, but the most sanguine coach
will not undertake to make over a
poor voice in a course of three or
even six weeks rehearsals. The pos
sibilities of the speaking voice are
beginning to be understood. Farents
are discovering that it Is a wise plan
to cultivate in' their daughters and
their sons, too, for that matter, 'an
agreeable voice for the speech of life.
Instructors in the art of develop
ing'the, exquisite mechanism and
wonderful capability ot-tbe human
speaking voice are springing up on
every side. It cannot be long before
ft will be a positive reproach for a
woman of education at-ieast to speak
in shrill, nasal or, unplaced tones. .
