THE LOST FORMULA Spiral Springs for Carriage Bodies. support upright standards, which are suitably braced to give greater rigidity to the under frame. The body of the vehicle Is supported from each standard by means of helical springs, which are Inclined inwardly toward the center of the carriage body, thus exerting radial pulls to prevent lateral swaying without Interfering with their vertical yielding movement, Improved Propeller Blades. Covering steel propeller blades with thin sheet brass or copper to protect them from corrosion has been successfully accomplished by an English shipbuilding Arm. The sheathing Is closely imbedded to the surface bewith specially neath, constructed Joints at the leading and following edges of the blades. While the experiment was made simply to overcome corrosion It has been found by actual tests that the steamers of the Clan Line which have had their propellers thus sheathed have shown considerably better speeds with less coal consumption than sister vessels fitted with cast Iron propellers. This is probably due to the decreased friction of the water under the action of the revolving blades. Portable Bathing Apparatus. In the illustration we show a woman's Invention, which should be greatly appreciated by those who are unable to rise from bed long enough to take a bath. As U well known, one of the greatest aids in restoring the health is cleanliness, and thorough bathing ot the skin to remove the impurities which have exuded from the pores will often have as good effect 1 y she-fel- inte-esti- four-pag- e x o Ald-wyc- h sad-eye- 111 much-dreade- d Inflated Tubes Surround Edge. as the medicine taken Internally. This bathing apparatus consists of a waterproof sheet, with a surrounding air tight tube, which can be inflated to form a raised wall around the edges of the sheet high enough to contain a considerable amount of water. When the tubes are deflated it is a comparatively easy task to roll or lift the patient onto the sheet, as the tubes lie flat on the bed. After the inflation is completed the water can be poured In, or a line of hose can be connected with the hot water faucet In the bathroom or washbowl to fill the "tub" to the desired height After the bath the water is drained off through a short section of hose beneath the pneumatic tubing. Mosquitoes and Malaria. In view of the recent attempts made Jersey to destroy the mosquitoes by the nse of petroleum on the standing water of the lowlands, and also on account of the experiments In New made by experts In Cuba to show that mosquitoes carried malarial and fever germs, the report of Major Pen-toprincipal medical officer of the Soudan, is of especial interest Only a short time ago mosquitoes were so thick In his locality that the use of nets to ward off the pests was a necessity. but now these can be dispensed with almost entirely. Several marshy swamps surrounding the town have been filled up by gangs of workmen, thus leaving no breeding place for the Insects. With their disappearance there has also been a marked decrease in malarial fever, all the medical officers of the district agreeing that this has been the healthiest year on record, and It is probable that when the work has been completed malaria will have disappeared from the region altogether. Steam Caused the Destruction. The volcanic eruptions which caused the destruction of Martinique and St. Vincent have revealed a new phase of ' nature's dynamic processes. The first scientists to arrive on the scene were quite unanimous In the opinion that the flery cloud which swept over St Pierre contained explosive gases. More careful Investigations, however, have shown that the devastating agency was steam with surcharged incandescent ashes, the whole mass being impelled with hurricane violence by the eruotlc force behind It. There is some reason for believing that similar phenomena may have accompanied the great eruption which caused the destruction of Pompeii. Happy Man in Georgia.

An interesting old organization which formerly existed In London the Dlllettantl society originated with certain gentlemen who, having traveled in Italy, tried to encourage at home what they had enjoyed abroad. This society of lovers of the fine arts lasted 130 years. Walpole does not seem to have looked upon it with a very favorable eye, for he says: "The nominal qualification was to have been to Italy, the real one was being drunk. Lord Salisbury. Lord Salisbury when in the Honae of Commons was not much stouter than his son, Lord Hugh Cecil. He used to sit on the front bench below the gangway and had a habit of gradually forging on to the floor of the house. Between each phrase, or sarcasm for he dealt greatly with the latter he would make a pause, and twirl some ornament attached to a chain." Mirrors Cause Women to Strike. Strange to say, a lot of girls employed in a New York factory lately went on a strike because they were too many looking glasses in the room in which they work. But the glasses were not for their use; they were so arranged around the desk of the foreman that he could keep a watch eye on them. Mrs. Winslow's Soothing wjrrup.

When King Edward II. of England was among his torturers who hurried him to and fro that no man should know where he was they set him down upon a bank and the more to disguise his face shaved him and washed him with cold water from a ditch. The king said, Well, yet will I have warm water for my beard, and so shed abundance of tears.
