Refvtareratloa la Necessary la a Cli mate Iillce That of New Orleaas. X-ray apparatuses, not a few ol which have been installed in New Or leans, are a little cranky about cli matic conditions, in this section, and during the. hoi: season the owners oi j some s the liner and more highly r .1 i i m tensioned machines have been forced to use a considerable quantity of ice in order to keep these wonderful ma chines from sweating themselves to death, says the Times-Democrat. The main trouble, meteorological ly, is with the humidity. The instruments are in the habit of becoming too moist, little watery bulbs accumulating at points where they interfere with the delicate mech anism of the apparatus. Drying processes have been resorted to in order to protect the instruments Chloride of calcium has been used extensively, but in some instances it has been found unsatisfactory. Ice has been found to be much better. By refrigerating , processes the temperature is equalized and the apparatuses are kept in a normal state. The use of ice protects the powerful X-ray producers from be coming too moist and has solved a problem wiich perplexed local opera tors no little when they found that chloride of calcium did not answer the purpose. The ice is put into t'.ie cabinet with discretion and in prop er quantities, and the results in every instance have proved satisfac tory. The mechanism of an X-ray appa ratus is incased in an almost air tight cabinet. This is needful in tht generation of electricity, and just so much as is needed and no more is allowed to flow into the casement where the mechanism is stored. What may be called breathing points are established at convenient places, bnt only a small quantity of air is allowed to pour through these tiny and half-closed openings. Small as these openings are they are sufficient ly large to allow somewhat of the aiVs dampness to flow in with it, J and hence the need of resorting to drying processes. ' , Local operators have overcome this disadvantage, and they have no more to fear now than X-ray machine own ers in other sections of the country CIRCUS PEOPLE LIVE WELL.

The commonwealth of Australia has gone considerably farther than any other country in her restriction of im migration. The "Immigration Bestric- t ion Act," which went into effect to- ward the end of last year, was passed x a. . . L . at the behest of the labor party and was aimed principally at "yellow la hor,". meaning Kanakas, Chinese and East Indians. In reality, however, it can keep out of Australia anybody, white or black, should it be so desired. The principal clause in the act pro vides that no person shall be allowed to land in Australia who, "when asked to do so by an officer (the word officer being denned as an officer .especially appointed, or any custom officer), fails to write out at dictation and sign in the presence of the officer a passage of 50 words in length in a European language directed by the officer." There are additional clauses provid ing for the rejection of undesirables, but the first is widely embracing enough for all purposes. The broad character of this clause was purposely designed so that any class of laborers, even Englishmen, might be kept out of the country if it seemed likely that they would work for less than the na tive. Some of the important indus tries, especially sugar-growing, have already been materially affected and great, discontent has resulted. This is only one of several differences between the various states, which have not yet been able to get the national stand point and look for the greater good of the whole country rather than that of one section. BRUIN LIKES THE CAMERA. Colorado Bear That Pauses and Poaea Whenever He Sees One Leveled at Him. Bears have exhibited many strange characteristics, many of which have been described by persons who are i intimate with bruin in his native lair, t but State Game Warden TTarris. thrmigh Deputy Warden James Bush, has found a bear in Routt county that is vain of his appearance. He is a silver tip, too, but he is quite time, and never strays from the property of Elliott Hawarden, the strange hermit who refuses to allow anyone to harm any of the wild animals that live on the two sections he owns, relates the Denver Post. This particular bear has had his pic ture taken so often, says Warden Bush, that he knows iust what is re- 1 quired of him, and tourists who stop at the Hawarden ranch have only to find Old Graybull to get a first-class bear picture. The old fellow stops short and poses whenever he sees a Muiwa pjseu ai aim. j - jo c yut g HJ JUUiigC auu L 11 c bear has ever since been most grate- i ful tor his care. VERY CLEVER SWINDLE. How a Frenchman Outwitted the Castoma Officers of Paris with Ilia Vegetable Cart. For some years a little wagon has come into Paris daily from one of the suburbs and in accordance with tha regulations it has been examined at regular intervals by custom house of ficers, says the New York Herald. The-ir task, however, was easy, for they rwver found in it anything but fruit and vegetables, which are free of duty, and so they naturally re garded the driver as an honest countryman, who was taking to mar ket the produce from his little farm. The other day through a mere ac cident, they found out their mistake. A brewer's wagon came in collision with the little cart, and as its heavy shaft s-hattered one of the sides, a stream of rich oil gushed out oji the sidewalk. As there is a heavy" duty on oil the custom house officers ar- several quarts of oil. Subsequent investigation showed that oil had been brought for a long time '.In this surreptitious manner to a dealer in Paris, and the authorities are now carefully examining every little wagon that enters the city, in order to find out whether it also has a double bottom or not.

Vtihid & Co. ; t WHY PYRAIIIDS WERE BUILT. Oatenaibly for lTea jjUtroaotaera, Bat in Reality; to, jvertlae - Fasae . of Pharaaha. The inter tst of the JDelbi and Be nares observatories 'lies for us in the fact that they recall a time far in the past when astronomers sought for ex actness by the erection of huge struc tures of stone. Of these the great pyr amid is by far the greatest and most perfect example. ' Britain has its own monument Stonebenge which has been claimed as, if not indeed an as tronomical observatory, at least an as tronomical temple, aifB many attempts have been made to determine the date at which it was erected.- The difficulty, not to say the impossibility, of solving this problemi in the ,' present state of the monument may be inferred from the fact that- the dates-which different careful observers have deduced for its erection extend over a period of more than 2,000 years, says a writer in Knowledge. A v The real work of astronomy , was never done in edifices like these. Xor, indeed, does it require much knowledge of human nature, essentially the same 5,000 years ago as to-day, to see that the true secret of the pyramid, the amply sufficient cause for its build ing, was the vanity of the ruling Pha raoh. Alike at Delhi, at Ghiaeh, and on Salisbury Plain, as by the Euphrates, to "make a name" was the exciting mo tive. Astronomers may have been em ployed to superintend the work, as tronomy, or the cult of the celestial bodies, may have been the excuse, but the real object was advertisement. WHY AMERICANS STAY ABROAD Not So Much for Sight-Seeing- and Uiatorical Interest aa for Eco nomical Living. What charm, one asks one's self in wonder, makes people remain for long years wandering firesideless from Cairo to Cornhill? It cannot be the climate, for' our own is quite as good. His torical associations, we are assured, compensate many of those people for the absence of kith and kin. Experi ence, however, has taught me that the majority of them are as splendidly in different to history and art, too, for the matter of that, unless as it is ap plied to the decoration of the human f orm as they are to the Kosetta stone, Writes Eliot Gregory, on "Roll ing Stones," in Century. The families that one finds residing in Italy, for instance, long since aban doned such foolishness as sight-seeing. That useless fatigue is left to thej newcomers; the habitues I have met no more dream-ol visiting the Vati can galleries or of reading in the li brary of Lorenzo the Magnificent than they do cf settling down seriously to study Italian. One hears, especially in the less ex- pensive little cities, some twaddle about culture; but you may take my word for it, in nine cases, out of ten, the real attraction of the place lies in the fact tnat a victoria can ue Had tor bO a month and a good cook for one-tenth that sum. NO FOREIGN REPAIRS. Shipa of the American STy Xo More to Be Inspected at Will In Alien Porta. . The navy department has come to the conclusion that it is not a proper thing for foreign officers and others to have the privilege of examining our ships in all their details while those vessels are on foreign stations, says ' the Armv and Navy Journal. At a for- ! eign dockyard a shin is- open to inspec- tion and comment and all information desired can be readily obtained. The bureau of construction and repair has brought this matter to the attention of the secretary of the navy and has pointed out the inadvisability of th" policy of permitting American men-of-war to be extensively repaired abroad. In the future, therefore, all repairs of any moment required by our vessels cruising abroad will be carried out in home dockyards where it is practica ble. .... The San Francisco has been sent to the Norfolk navy yard in furtherance of this new policy, and it is understood that our naval vessels as fast as they j r s require overhauling will be promptly ent to a home station for the purpose. It is felt that the time has come when secrecy in detail may . be of prime im portance to our naval authorities. ,. Taxation In Colombia. A story of the Colombian idea of taxation is told by Peter McQueen, the Boston traveler, after a visit to the seat of the South American revolution. "Some American friends of mine," he said, "were visited by the city officials of Colon. 'Senor,' said the leader of the delegatiou, 'we have come to collect $12 in gold from you, your share of the cost of collecting tbe garbage for this year,' 'But, my dear sir,' said the Amer ican, in surprise, 'you have not collected the garbage once during the whole vear.'

OVERDRAWN ACCOUNTS. 1"Ve Capital of Phyaleal Streagth Is Often Abaorbed in Frnit .. leaa Effort. You have a deposit of nervous-energy placed to your account in the bank of your body. It may be large, in which happy case you are a mil lionaire in strength and accomplish ing pwer. Or it may be so micro scopick.s to need careful husbanding and little expenditure to keep it from dwindling out altogether, says the New York Herald. But many millionaires become pau pers and some "dime savings" swell into millions. It depends upon the way the capital is managed. You may think you have so much that there is no need to be economical. You get up in the morning and feel the blood bounding through your veins like mountain cataracts, and you think you can. turn the mill wheels of the world. . ' You Work day and night, or you play day and night, which is some times more exhausting, and go at the limit of your speed all the time. You are overdrawing your bank account of -energy, and that needlessly, for 3ou probably have enough to last a long and useful lifetime. It pays to sit around and sharpen your tools, and it adds cent per cent, to your body bank deposit. Another with not half your, brains or bustle will get ahead of you in the end, for he makes every act, every thought, ..go "straight to the mark. He wastes no effort. Every thing he does means something; it helps toward some given end. You spend a great deal of ammunition on your quarry because you are over anxious.

Cloth Costumes That Are Hight In It with tbe Leaders in Fash ionable Dresa. The leaders of fashions are insured one style at least this year which is not likely to be imitated by the com mon herd; that is the white cloth costume, reports the Mew York Post. Nothing is more ultra fashionable just aow than white broadcloth or zibeline gowns, and among the most elegant . cloaks are those of white cloth. Innocent of other decoration than stitching or elaborated vith the costliest lace, embroidery or fur mat- j ters notj for either may be made j equanr chic. An example of the j more "fciaborate style is shown in a j carriage gown of white cloth. The j lmver half of the skirt is formed of gn.,i;ntlP the cloth in lace Dat- t u on a roun( Df white net un- iini,i -5h hlaok rhiffon. The UV11U1U bodice in blouse effect and the full lower sleeves are of the same net 1 and applique, and there are sleeves caps and yoke of cloth. As rich in I its way is an evening cloak in three i nnariers lena-th. A broad band of - u Irish lace insertion heads the hem at the bottom. From a yoke of white ' tucked taffeta falls a cape of cloth and lace. Fastening this cape to the back are two large green ouuons, from which depend streamers of silk cord and taffeta. The effectiveness ! of the lace is increased by being un derlaid witn Diacic enmon uuu a touch of the chiffon shows beneath the full sleeves. A natty little short cloak of white cloth is made very full with collar shawl effect and all the edges scalloped. Hungarian embroid ery is a smart decoration for gowns of white cloth. Two of these in tended for house gowns were simply made with full sleeves gathered into deep embroidered cuffs and blouse with embroidered fronts. With one a bright red leather belt was wn and with the other one of wii" leather.

The way Mrs. A- plains dovn each foot us she walks along, with a decided little swish of liet goM, dues not only show decision, but it is indicative of temper as well. M;s u , who walks rapidly and then slowly, and accelerates her gnlt only to moderate it a few minutes later, expresses variableness by her walk. One can see at a glance by Miss. C 's swiagii g, boyish stride that she is a bit Oia.inish, and equally by the minc ing' step and bend of the body that. Miss D is self-conscious and proba bly coquettish. The high-held head, stiff shoulders and uubending knee are never the accompaniments of a gen tle, yielding nature, while the gliding, sinuous movement almost always in dicates what in feminine parlance is called a "catty" disposition. Although the walk of a man might also be an alyzed and found to express decided characteristics, women show their pe culiarities in this way in a much more pronounced fashion, as their drapery is a part of them and has a way of accentuating their individuality.
