PURIFYING WATER.
tiltraNielet Rays From Electric Lamp
Gives Good Results.
We hear a. great deal. these days of
the wonderful curative propertieeef
ultra -violet raysenthose teareely
hie rays of light lying beyond the
violet it the very end of. the spectrin
of rainbow oolors. The newest and
most batereating diseovery about
these rays is that they can be used
for the purifying and sterilizing of
city water. The water passes theough
tanks, ter chambers, illuminated by
ultra -violet rays, and 'becomes abao-
lately sterile.
Proof of this has been found in a
series of experiments made with the
wathr supply for the village of Mar-
omran near Rdnen, Fraoeti, Mar-
oname is the .centre of half a dozen
small suburban districts and it furn-
ishes water for a combined popula-
tion of 2.1;000.
Despite every precaution, the water
sometimes becomes c,ontaminated
before it reaches the eervice pipes
from the chalkcatchment grounds,
and in order to insure the absolute
purity of the water an •ultra -violet
ray sterilizing plant was xecently
installed.
The water is purified in this way:
is first necessary to filter the
water, so as to make sure that it ehail
be clear enough to permit the ease"
Penetration of the ultratvioletetrays.
For this purpose a very simple filter
suffice,s. From this the weber passes
close to three aides eef the electric
latup and is thus exposed three tenths
to the purifying action of the ultra-
violet rays. From calculations made
of the expenditure of electric energy
necessary and of its cost the impre.s-
sien,is gained that the employment of
ultra -violet rays is decidedly cheap.
As for its efficacy the bacteriologi-
cal laboratory of Rouen examined 14
sets of three specitaens, each taken
at different dates. First, then, .was
the water fresh from the intake. The
number of bacteria per cubic centn
meter varied from 6 to 86 within a
period of 14 days. he colon ba,cillos
was sometimes absent, but generally
there were 20 to 30 per 100 cubic oen-
timeters. The second set of samples
was taken after the water had passed
through the filters and the number
of micro-organisms varied from zero'
to 14e The colon bacillus had entirely
disappeared except from one sample,
when five were discovered in 100
cubic centimeters
The third specienen was that of
water after it had been exposed to
the action of the ultra -violet rays.
In every one of the 14 specimens the
water was absolutely sterile, there
being no bacteria ot any description
'whatsoever.
HATRED OF MANCHUS.
Lies at the Root of the Present Out-
break In China.
Much of the political disaffection
in China ID. reeeot yeare is due to the
underlying hatred which the Chinese
proper bear their Manchu. conquerors.
Although the Manchus swept down
from the north and took possession
of -the Chinese theone nearly 300
years ago there has been little mining
of their blood with that of the native
Chinese, and the two peoples have
exieted side by eide, two continually
t s.
The t anchus were originally ea
ed in to assist iti supressing internal
troubles which threatened the over-
throw of the Ming dynasty. Their
work done, they refused to withdraw,
but proceeded to conquer the coun-
try for thernselves. In 1643 they pro-
claimed the son of their own ruler as
the 'efirst emperor of a new dynasty,
the tenth emperor of which now
reigns.
The Manchus have ruled China on
Chinese lines of polity, and in recent
years have made many efforts th
conciliate the natives. A. few years'
ago it was said that of the 144 of-
ficials then ferming the supreme
government of the empire only 32
were Manchus. In the provinciel ad-
ministrations the proportion of Man-
chus chosen in the last five years has
been not more than one-fifth of the
whole number.
The real .reason for this change,
however, may be undoubtedly found
in the marked superiority of the
Chinese in mental equipment and in
capacity for administration. Prac-
tically all the high Chinete officials
rise through a long course of pro-
motions from the junior ranks, and
most of the Manchus have found
themselves outstripped early in the
race by the Chinese.
The recent widespreacl movement
for the cutting off of the queue or
pigtail appears to be a part ,of the
native crusade against Man.chus
domination. The wearing of the
queue is one of the few really dis-
tinctive Manchu customs which the
conqueror enforced upon the Chinese
people.
A Valuable Fiddle.
Probably the most valuable violin
in the world is possessed by Herr
Fritz Kreisler, whose recent concert
at the Queen's Hall, London, Eng..
aroused so much interest and enthus-
iasm. It belonged to Mr. George
Hart, the well-known connoisseur,
and Mr, Kreisler paid $10,000 for it.
It is' not only a genuine Guarnarius,
but in other ways is a rernarka,ble
instrument. On the tail -piece the
maker's initials and the date (1737)
appear in diamonds, the pegs and
buttons are set with diamonds and
rubies, while the case alone is worth
$1,000, being of solid silver, teverlaid
with tortoise -shell, and decorated with
arabesque and other ornamentations,

Empress of Germany's Jewels.
The Empress of Germany has jewels
valued at more than $1,000,000. Her
collection is rare and superb. Many
of the jewels are heirlooms of the
Prussian crown and may be worn
only by the reigning queen, but the'
Kaiserin is said to have jewels valued
at $500,000 of her own. She has more
than 40 diamond rings, innumerable
bracelets, brooches, watches and other
trinkets. She has one bit of jewelry
with one large diamond set with 45
smaller diamonds. • Before any im-
portant court affair the court jeweler
always examines the jewelry M see
if the stones are set firmly. As a
fact, however, the Kaiserin seldom
wears any jewelry except at court.
She prefers to dress simply and avoid
all display of jewelry.

ME EXPLOSION.
Blowing Up a Ship Leaded With
Oompresead Sleeting Cartridgen
What was tencloubtodly the greatest
eiugle explosion of dynamite or gun-
Nwder aver discharged took plaee a
Jew' weeks ago when the derelict dyn-
am:te ship Mystery was blown up
with its own cargo off Yarmouth,
England.; 10,000 tons of high explo-
sives went Ziff at one time.
The Mystery had been engaged for
many years in transporting 'dynamite
and other explosives used in blasting
operations„ Early last month the ves-
sel was wrecked in the North Sea
about, 10 miles front the Norfolk coast,
Although, providentially, the impact,
was not great enough to .exPlode the,
big oargo of compressed blasting
cartridges containing gunpowder asid
gelignite, the bulk, ouly a small part
of which appeared above the sur.face
of the water at high tille,,twa.s deemed
a, great menace to navigatibR, and
the English Admiralty authbrities or-
dered that it be destroyed.
It was decided to use the vessel's
own cargo for the purpose. A wreck-
ing party went out to the derelict at
loW tide, and, makingits way to the
hold where the explosives were stow-
ed, which was still watei; tight; at-
tached a fuse to eaeh bOx ,of tart -
ridges. The 'fuse was then carried t�
the shore and touched off. The eX-,
plosion that follbwed shook the build-
ings in Yarmouth and for miles
around, but no d,amage was done.
geyser of evatee was ejected at least a
thousand feet into the air.
Shipping people had been ziotified
of the intended explosion, and the
Yarmouth Waters were given -a we
berth by navigators on the afternoon
sot for the work.
When the Wedge Came 'Ou%i,,
A very small man—not only small
as to" stature, but lacking also, in
width of beam—sat in a.stmet car po-

"Take ,my seat, madam," he said,

"Oh, thant you very much," she
replied and turned toward the seat.
Then, smiling genially again, she,
asked, "'Where did you get up from?' •
A Clew at Last
Because Mrs. Stanton is the daagh-
ten of one doctor, the •daughteron-
law of another and the wife of a
third nearly everybody was much
amused when she attended a course
of 'first aid" lectures.
Dr. Stanton is' still amused, al-
though his wife cannot dee why. Not
long ago .when. recounting tie facts
to a• visitor, Dr. Stanton added:
"And You can't tell the difference
between drunkenness, and apoplexy,
can you, Julia?"
"Certainly 1 can," retorted Mrs.
Stanton.
"How?" returned the visitor.
"By the smell," Mrs. Stanton re-
plied, with dignity.
Headless Butterflies.
To the butterfly, unlike most crea-
tures, the head seems to be not indis-
pensable. Reporting some experiments
to the French Academy of Sciences,
Prof.' Vianney of the Lyons Univer-
sity states that a number of insect
larvae were carefully beheaded and
that in spite of this they went through
the usual stages of metamorphosis.
Caterpillars of the genus bombyx be-
came mature butterflies, with fine col-
ored, streaked wings. They were lit-
tle troubled by their, headless condi-
tion and lived for a considerable time.
Obtaining Heirs rn China.
The. practical Chinese have adopted
a simple way of obtaining heirs, where
there are no legal ones—the adoption
of children who belong to side
branches of the family. In this way
the family line is kept intact. In
the absence of male deseenclante
the side branches of the family the
sons of strangers are adopted. The
Chinese prefer this method to marry-
ing second wives.

What's Coming 'Next%
The tragedy of -the horse-drawn 'bus
'ino London's streets is almost com-
plete.
Oct. 31 will. stand as a landmark in
the history of the world's metropolis,
for on that day the last of the horse
'buses rumbled into theelimbo of the
past. There may be a eew privately -
owned 'buses in the suburbs, but the
London General Omnibus Co. have
parted with horses.
It has taken seven years for petrol
to conquer horses. In 1904, the first
service of motor -omnibuses ran from
Peckham to 'Oxforn Circus.
Horse-drawn 'buses enjoyed an ex-
istence of over eighty years. The
first one ran from Paddington to the
'Bank,* in 1829. At one time there
were over 4,000 of these vehicles on
the streets of the big city.

• Uruguay's Whitewash.
Attention of travelers 'through Uru-
guay is attracted to the fine white
color of the farm buildings even dur-
ing the wet season. The effect is ob.
tamed by a whitewash in which the
juice of the common cactus plays the
prominent Part. The sliced leaves
are macerated in water for twenty-
four hoars, and to this creamy li-
quid lime is added. The wash appli-
ed to any substance produces a beau-
tiful pearly white appearance which
lasts for years.
