The report in question con- tains the results of the investigation made ‘by the Haanel Commission into the different electrothermic processes for the smelting of iron ores and the making of steel in Operation in Europe. The conclusions of the com- missioners are the result of careful, exhaustive inquiries. _ A1... Cwuuuv. ' In addition to the report on the smelting of iron ores and the mak- ing of steel in Europe, there is a special report on the Marcus Ruthenâ€" ‘ burg process of electric smelting of magnetite, in which demonstrations were given at Lockport, N.Y.; like- wise a series qf important papers on the electroâ€"metallurgy of steel and iron by Henri Harmet, Gustave Gui and Capt. Ernest Stassano, and of copper by M. Ch. Vattier. The whole volume, consisting of 233 pages, is enriched and illustrated by many handsome plates and drawings.

He was John Smith all right. but his friend could hardly pass as Mrs. Smith. Although they were practically without funds. they boarded the train. “Take a seat in the rear of the car,” said Smith to his friend. Then Smith went forward and sat down by a young woman. Soon they were talking like old friends, and the sunject of tickets was brought up by Smith. He asked her to let him see ‘ hm- ticket.

A most singular food is the larvae of a fly common in certain portions of California and known as ephydra. This insect is found in such vast quan- tities in Lake Mono. Cal., that it is washed upon the shores in vast wind- rows and can be collected by bushels. The water of Mono is very singular, seemingly very heavy and smooth“, like oil, so much so that it resists ordinary wind and refuses to become ruflied. ‘ When the larvae begin to appear the Indians gather from far and near and scrape them up, place the wormlike , creatures on cloths and racks in the sun and dry them. when they are beaten up and llllSkOll. looking then like rice. The Indians call the food koo-chah-bee, and many bushels are collected at his time. That larvae are nutritious is shown by the condition ‘ of the Indians, who soon grow fat on the rich diet. Many birds are attract- ed by the larvae and gorge themselves with the singular food. Thackeray’s Odd \Vays. “He wrote a very small. neat hand and used slips of note paper,” said the late John Hollingshead of London con- eeming Thackeray. “These he would often gather up and put in his coat y pocket, leaving his secretary at work, i and stroll down to the Athenaeum club. Here. if he could get a comfortable ta- ble and was not waylaid by any gos- . sip, to whom he was always ready to i give an attentive ear, he would pull ; out his slips and carry his story a few ' steps farther. In an hour or two he would again collect the scattered pa- ‘ pers and go on to the Garrick club, I where, if not interrupted, he would reâ€" \ sume his writing. This habit of com- ! posing in public frightened many of E the old club fogies, who thought they I were being earieatured for posterity, ! and no doubt helped to get him black- : ballezl at the 'i‘ravelers’.” The Laws of Nature. The universe is under the reign of law. which is everywhere-in things mean and minute as well as in things no‘nie and great. So far as we have come into an understanding of these law; we have found none defective. No sound philosophy can concede that a law of nature can be out of bal- ance or in any way less than true and perfect. When we advance a theory to the point where it would prove that a law of nature is out of balance and de- fective. we should know that the con- clusion is wrong: that it is our reason- ing. and not the law, that is out of l balance and defective.â€"â€"I<‘rom “Bal- ance: The Fundamental Verity,” by l Orlando J.

Just before the guests arrived the master of the house had been intensely rude and annoying to his wife, and she had not forgotten it. There was a mo- ment’s pause in the buzz of conversa- tion round the beautiful table, gleam- ing with lights, blushing with roses. Then the wife leaned forward and in a voice soft, but loud enough to at- tract the attention of the whole com- pany, said sweetly, “By the way, James, what was that story you told .331- -1 $1.45 me to lead dinner '2” “v- -â€"â€"â€" _ A countryman gave the following reason for not subscribing to a local newspaper: “I get all the news there is.
