HOW TO PLAY WITH FIRE.
Tricks Performed With the Devouring Element and Their Origin. Juggling with fire was practised in very ancient times. Many of the tricks of that sort which are best known to- day were employed to deceive the vulgar thousands of years ago. ‘There is nothing even now which does more to excite the astonishment of the ignorant than the breathing of flame, which is a deceptiun handed down from remote antiquity. When the slaves in Sicily rose in rebel- lion about 159 B. C. and took cruel re- venge for the wrongs they had suffered, there was among them a Syrian named Eunus. He was a man of great craft and courage, and having seen much of the world he had become acquainted with a variety of little known arts, He pretended to have immediate communication with the gods, and as is usual in such cases, he confirmed his divine mission by mira- cles. When desirous of inspiring his fol- lowers with courage, he breathed flames and sparks among them froin his mouth.
It is said that, in order to perform this |
marvel, Kunus pierced a nutshell at both ends, and having filled it with some burning substance he put it into bis mouth and breathed through it. The
same trick is performed better nowadays. |
The juggler rolls together some flax or
hewp into a ball about the size of a wal-.
nut, which he sets on fire, permitting it to burn untilit is nearly consumed. Then he rolls about it more flax while it is yet burning, and by this means the fire may be retained in the ball for a long time. When he is ready to do his act, he slips the ball into his mouth unperceived and breathes through it. His breath re- vives the fire, so that sparks proceed from it, and the performer sustains no injury so long as he inhales his breath through his nostrils only. By this art the Rabbi Bar-Cocheba, in the reign of the Roman Kmperor Hadrian, made the credulous Hebrews believe that he was the long looked-for Messiah.
Various theories have been advanced to account for the other feats mentioned. It will be remembered that during the middle ages the guilt or innocence of persons accused of crimes was often de- termined by ordeal, the defendant being obliged to hold a piece of red-hot iron in his hand. ‘This was another case of juggling, such trials being conducted by the priests, who covered the hands of those whom they desired should escape with a protective paste. A solution of spermaceti in sulphuric ether, colored red with alkenet root, which solidifies at 50 degrees Fahr. and melts and boils with the heat of the band, is sup- posed to be the substance which is used at Naples when the dried blood of St. Januarius melts spontaneously and boils over the edge of the vessel con: taining it.—Exchange.
Oats and Anthrax.
A case of much interest to farmers ha: been decided in one of the English courts. The plaintiffs sued to recover the price of certain oats. The defendant denied liabil. ity on the ground that the oats had con- tained the germs of anthrax, which had caused the disease to break out in his stables and led to the loss of fifty horses. Some of these were covered by insurance, but he counter-claimed in respect to the others. Several corn dealers who had bought some of the oats in question from the plaintiffs, mixed and unmixed, and sold them again said they had received ho complaints concerning them. An ex- pert veterinary surgeon said the oats had a considerable quantity of dirt in them, and should not have been fed to horses without being screened. He thought it possible that winnowing the oats would have got rid of any bacilli, as it was pos- sible, if there were any spores, they were all on the surface. He thought there was room to doubt that the oats in question caused the horses to die. The jury found that the goods were unmerchantable by reason of latent germs of anthrax in them when they were first delivered to the de- fendant, that the defendant had not been guilty of negligence in not having cleaned
them, but that he had been so guilty by -
reason of not taking the order of a second supply of oats off the file. Judgment was given for the plantiffs for $110, the vatue of the second lot of oats supplied, and for the defendant for $1,400, the value oi eleven horses which died in consequence of the first delivery.

FOR BOYS’ GUIDANCE. Sow a Crop of Wheat and Reap a Iarvest Worth Having, }
“Don’t be deluded into the belief that itis smart to know things that you wouldn't like to tell your mother’’ writes Ruth Ashmorein an article on ‘That Boy of Mine,’’ in Mareh Ladies’ Home Journal. ‘‘ Don’t think it is smart to listen to stories that are not nice and which are about women—that is a peculiarity of eads. Never read a book that jou could not share with your sister, and never look | ata picture that might not be framed | and hung in her room.
‘‘What? You think somebody will call you ‘girly? Oh, no, my dear boy. If any- thing is said about your conduct there will be approbation giésa you, and the chances are that the older man will say of the younger one who is properly modest, ‘Brown isanice fellow; I should like him to come and see my daughters.’ It is not necessary for you to see the folly of anything, Thatisan exploded theory, Why should you sow a crop of wild oats! Why not sowa crop of wheat and geta harvest worth having? From day to day, my boy, you make up the story of your life, and it is the little things, the little honest things, that will make you a man, mentally as well as physically.’’
Stand the Strain of It.
Can we regard mountaineering as in the main and for the mass of tourists a safe and healthful amusement? This is a question which vannot be answered with- eut considerable reserves and qualifica- tions. Mountaineering—by which we mean ascents of 10,000 or 12,000 feet and upward—involves much strain and se- vere fatigue. The strain is first upon the muscular system; but it affects even more importsntly the circulatory, respir- atory and nervous mechanisms. In some persons the heart seemisto feel the tax most, in others the nervous system is chiefly affected. Palpitation and “moun- tain sickness’’—the latter in all probabil- ity a neurosis—are the two chief diflicul- ties that beset the average mountaineer.
It is clear from these considerations that mountaineering is not for every body. There must be, first of all, a sound phy- sique, considerabie endurance and tha ca- pacity for prolonged and continuous effort. But it is not at all generally un- derstood that a sound heart muscle—a well-developed and well-exercised myo- cardiam~—is indispensable for any con- siderable mountaineering feats. Hence any suspicion of structural heart disease is an absolute contra indication for any such exploits. Farther, the heart must not be only structurally sound, but well exercised and in good condition, Hence sedentary livers, who for eleven months in the year have no regular active exer- cise, should not employ their holiday in mountaineering. Yachting or fishing will be much safer for such, and perhaps not less healthful.
Many Alpine accidents have been the result of neglect of this very obvious rule. For similar reasons mountaineering should be,eschewed by persons in middle life who have not acquired the requisite training in youth, and even those who in the heyday of their early prime delighted in the sport and enjoyed many a ‘‘crowded hour of glorious life’’ on some Alpine summit weuld do well to remem- ber Horace’s maxim regarding the aging steed, and bid a timely adieu to exploits no longer suited to their years. A certain stability of the nervous vsystem is indis- pensabie for mountaineering, but it is difficult to say anything precise on this head. Neurotic individuals not only climb
by the air above a certain moderate level. A certain coolness of nerve is a necessary qualification for the many ascents which involve actual danger—danger usually avoidable and seldom extreme, but not te be lightly encountered by those deficient in steadiness and self-control.
Many of the dangers of mountaineering which bulk largely in the popular imag- ination are either quite rare or easily avoided. Thus, snow-blindness is not at all of frequent occurrence, is almost con- fined to prolonged exposure to a blazing sun upon snowfields, and is usually averted by the use of colored spectacies. Bleeding from the nose and ears, which was described by the early explorers, is practically unknown—at least, to any serious extent—at the present day. Frost- bite and sunburn, though not uncom- mon, are seldom severe. Perhaps the most frequent ground of attack upon mountaineering is its presumed perilous- ness, Accidents are no doubt frequent, but it is certaiuiy true that for the most part they are ayeidable.

Negro Graves in the South.
Negro graves in the far South are sometimes curiously garnished with the bottles of medicine used by the departed in their final illness, and the duration of the malady is easily guessed by the number of bottles, Often these are the only things to mark the mound, and everything about the graveyard bears the marks of the has*e characteristic of & superstitious people in all matters concerning the dead.—New York Press,

There are said to ba exhaustless deposits of hitumen, or as phalt, in Mexico, which the people there have attempted successfully te barn, bnt it would melt and run, and thus give trouble. Mr. George J. Altham, of the New England Turbine and Fuel Com pany, of Boston, experimented with it, and found the running could be prevented by making acertain composition of it with peat. The compressed fuel was tried on February 7, at the headquarters of the Boston Fire Department, by funning a fireengine with it. It got up steam guicker and held a higher pressure while the engine was operating than canne} coal would do. with a smaller consump- cic of fuel for a given amount of work.

UNUSED ELECTRIC POWER.
A Good Deal of It Goes to Waste, Yet tes Often Felt.
**Did you ever think,”’ asked an ob- serving man, “‘how much loose electric- ity there is around? It is brought to my notice, especially, every time I have had oceasion to ride in a trolley car on a wet day. I have frequently received a sting- ing shock by taking hid of the brass rail as Iswung myself aboard. My feet are wet, you see, and water is so good a conductor that a ground connection is established with myself as part of the cir- cuit. The sensation is quite enough to be disagreeable, I assure you.
“The metal doorsill, too, is another place where the current leaks out. Since I have discovered that by personal expert- ence I have often amused myself by watching the people who enter and leave the car. If they step over the wet threshold, well and good, but if their feet touch it, they are likely to get some of the superfluous power. Then the expres- sion on their faces is ludicrous. Most of them look completely bewildered, as if they didn’t know what had struck them, and | suppose they don’t for the Instant. _ “Those are not the only places where there is free electricity, either. In my owa office I can get as severe a shock as I could from a battery. In one of the incandes- cent light fixtures there isa spot where the current escapes in gerat force, By touching this plece with a key, a knife or any bit of metal, and resting my other hand on the iron of the steam radiator near by, I can take a shock of such power as to burn my hand and make me drop the experiment in a hurry. The other day halfa dozen of us joined hands and formed a line between the two places. The man at one end held a Key to the fix- ture, and the fellow at the other end laid his hand on the radiator. You would hardly believe bow strong the current was. Our hands seemed suddenly gripped together and, aiter we let go, our fingers tingled for minutes from the effecte.
“T have often thought that a computa- tion of the amount of unused electric force there is around us would be inter- esting, There must be a number of other places that I have never nuticed where it escapes, and 1 suppose there is no doubt that in the aggregate the power wasted would be sufficient to accomplish a tre- mendous amount of work.’’—New York Tribune.
Driving Bacilli Out of Milk.
The New York Isoard of Health, pa been using a small machine, worked 4n the centrifugal principle, as a method ct determining the amount of fatin sam. ples of milk. The machine simply whiris the milk around at a high velocity, throwing the lighter, or the cream, to the center, and the milk clear of fat or cream to the outside. By a simple scale, the relative amonnt of fatto the whole quantity of milk can be ascertained. Large machines on the same principle are used in big dairies, and these, it is believed by the medical experts of the board, can be used as a means of ridding milk of impurities, and possibly of bac- cilli, Dr, Martin says he has found that after a thousand quarts of milk had been strained through the finest strainer, and then passed through the finest muslin, there was still a considerable quantity of dirt init. Ifthis milk were put in a centrifrugal machine, out of 1,000 quarts a double handfal of filth of the barnyard would be shaken out. The process seems to make the milk more digestible, par- tially sterilizes it, and enables it to keep several days longer than the milk which has not been treated. At onetime the farmer was wont to keep some of the scum found on the outer edge—after the cream-skimming process—to feed to his hogs. it gave so many of them the-tuber- culosis and killed them that he gave it up. This encourages the assumption that centrifugal straining runs out the bac- cilli as well as dirt. The benefit of this process to the public would be immense, but until it it made compulsory by law, Dr. Martin sees no probability of its gen- eral adoption. It would add only about one-eighth of a cent a quart to the price of the milk, and the farmer would not think he was paid for his extra trouble. Besides, the consumer knows nothing of the dirt, so he swallows it and does not com plain.
Charred Molasses as a Fertilizer.
The Louisiana sugar-planters have not yet been able to solve the riddle of the bestowal of their surplus molasses. It ig now proposed to use it as a fertilizer. It is found that the molasses can be charred by waste heat in sugar manufacture, and, much reduced in weight, and free from liability to offensive or trouble- some fermentation, be easily added to the soil ss are commercial fertilizers, When in this state it is devoid of sticki- ness, easy to handle and contains a large part of the mineral fertilizers taken by the cane from the soli,as well as the lime used in clarifying. A temperature of 350 degrees (Fahrenheit) is sufficient to de- stroy the objectionable gumminess, to expel nearly all the water and to so char the molasses that it is fit to return to the so:l. Itis suggested that the sugar manufacturers cen easily placs a la pipe in the waste heat of their fun naces for the charring of the molasses, filter press cakes, etc. The mass would be removed by a chain scraper passing slowly through the pipe and, charred and dry, and pulverized, it would be ready for instant and effective use as a fertilizer.
Making Concrete Bricks Out of Waste Heaps.
An English inventor proposes to utilize waste heaps by making them into con- crete bricks. His idea is to turn to ac- count any sort of waste, even that from destructors, by mixing in certain propor- tions either destructor ashes, clinkers, chippings and dust from stone, hard sand, colliery clippings, or scavenger refuse, with blue lias or hydraulic lime. The mixture is shoveled into troughs divided into sections, and afterward passed through a brick press, or blocks may be made frgm the product in molds or jack- ets, These are staked and dried in the open air. The moro costly processes of ordinary brick-making, namely, the set- ting, burning and drawing, are avoided. ‘ The blocks or bricks usually harden in| about two months, when they are ready for use.
pieinsnhinieentiiintnaaii ai An Economica! Oat Clipper,
The high price which clipped oats bring in comparison with unclipped has Jed to the construction of a simple and light- running clipper of great capavity. The machine 1s dustless, as all impurities are removed the instant they become loosened from the grain. Four distinct separa- tions are made, first by screening or siey- ing, and afterward hy successive strong air currents at different stages, the last occurring as the finished material leaves the machine. This improved clj is built in nine sizes, from 50 te 100 ° ols guaranteed hourly capacity.
