pany. Formed at Hamburg.
A company has been farmed in

the eo•-operation of the Prussian
Government;, The eleotrioity gen.,

light and ppoower,
The works will be at Husum, on
the coast of Sohlem*, .-Opposite
Husum, at a distance of a couple of
kilometers, lies the North Frisian
island of Nordstraaid,
Two roughly parallel dams will
oonneot the Nordstrand with the
mainland and the large area, thus
enclosed will form the tidal reeer-
noir, The reservoir will be divided
into three basins, In the middle of
the south dam will rise a large pow-
er house.
The mechanism adopted allows
the generation of power all day and
night. The variations in the tidal
force art different hours will be coan-
ppeensated for by the use of aooum.u-
latars. A ourrent of 15,000 volts
will be distributed to all places
within 80 or 100 kilometers and
transformed locally to 220 volts.

TO MAKE jE1GGS FROM AIR.
Prediction: of a Distinguished Rus-

Dr. Paul Walden, of Riga, Rus-
sia, predicts that .the next great
feat of chemistry will be the mak-
ing of eggs from air, Dootor Wal-
den, who is president-elect of the
ninth international congress of ap-
plied chemistry to be held in St.
Petersburg in 1915, further pre-
dicted that a variety of nitrogenous
foods will be made from the air
some (lay.
"I consider it praotically certain
that at no distant day we will be
drawing food supplies from the
air," he .said. "Professor Berth-
een, of Germany, ,has already suc-
•ooeded in making the simple com-
pound nitrogen and hydrogen., This
shows that we will be able to make
more complex. compounds.
"An egg is a complex compound
of nitrogen, oxygen, sulphur and
hydrogen. The chemical process of
the hen will be imitated in the lab-
oratory in the undertaking: For-
merly we were able to do very little
with the uncombined nitrogen . in.
the atmosphere. Now that we are
able to harness it, the possibilities
are wonderful."

PRESERVING FLOWERS,
The idea of preserving flower:
and Wage for winter deooration
is sure to be welcomed by those
who find it too expensive to be el,
ways buyingf'us4 fiower•s, yet •toi
whom the aternative of doingwith-
out floral deeoratiou altogathor is
equal)? displeasing, The early .an-
tumn is the best time to set about
collecting and drying the loaves
and blowouts and so. on, The 'aver-
age garden will generally afford a
good variety of k►laute suitable for
this purpose, whilst specimens are
always to be found in the woods And
fiekie and wayside hedgerows. The
propose of drying is quite simple;
the flowers, foliage, grasses and
what not should be gathered in dry
weather., and hung up, head down-
wards, .in a sunny room, if possible,
When perfeotl'.y dried they should
be kept in a dark drawer or cup-
board, out of the dust, till the timo
comes to use them.
The e'v'erlasting flowers, such as
ere grown in most gardens, are ex-
eellont for winter decoration, as
they are at their best when dried.
Many varieties are very graceful,
and most of them are bright -color-
ed, Perhaper the beet ere athansia,
yellow, the edelweiss or Swiss bri-
dal flower, the metallic -blue sea
holly, rhodanthea and the heliehry-
sums; these are the brightest of the
everlasintgs. The delicate silvery
seed pods of the old-fashioned hon-
esty are also excellent for drying,
and are most effective in artificial
light. ` Gather the sprays directly
the seeds are ripe; dry them care-
fully and gently rub at the dull
outside shell which hides the beauty
of the centre part. The winter
cherry or Chinese lantern, as it is
popularly called, is another good
showy plant for drying.unches
of this and also of honesty are -some-
times seen for sale in het seeds -
men's and florists' shop windows
Grasses are also useful for win
deooration, ' and they are eae
dried. Any wild or garden var
ties, so they are graceful, may
included. Oats, quaking -grass a
totter -glass are some of the b
for this purpose, and the heavy, s
ken -heads of the well-known p
pas grass are invaluable. Oats loo
pretty dyed a pale green with a
good dye well -diluted.
The wood and wayside also affo
many wild treasures for preset
tion. The seeds of the wild Clem
tis, or "old man's beard," is o
of the loveliest of autumnal decor
tions. When perfectly ripe and d
it becomes grey' and feathery an
will last a long time. The prese
vation of brightly -tinted aurum
leaves is quite simple. They show

coating of white spirit varnish, an
then hung up to dry. If done i
this way any dust which may gathe
en the leaves afterwards can b
taken off with a damp cloth witho
damaging them in the least. T
prevent the leaves dropping• th
should be just touched with glu
where they joint the stalk. Spra
of maple, copper -beech, blackberry
creepers,. bracken, and many mor
look lovely if well preserved. An
other way of preserving autum
leaves is to press them on bot
sides with,.a hot iron which has firs
been passed over some yellow bees
wax. When quite dry arrange the
on small twigs by means of fine flow
er wire. Rose hips, hawthorn and
rowan berries, and twenty others
may all be preserved successfully if
they are varnished and glued in the
way directed for leaves. Small piec-
es of fir, pine and larch, with their
cones or "cuckoos," as the children
call them, and the .common "black
poker" bullrushes are very effec-
tive if done in the same way.
When arranging the dried winter
bouquet care must,be taken not to
overcrowd the flowers or what not,
The heavier kinds should be placed
lowest and grasses or delicate foli-
age uppermost. Brightly colored
leaves, interspersed with berries,
look best lightly massed together in
wide shallow bowls. Honesty and
everlasting flowers should be ar
ranged by themselves... . Pampas
grass, bulrushes, and so so, when
set in tall vases, make a striking
and handsome decoration for the
hall. A pretty effect is gained by
putting trails of "old -man's beard"
with • clusters of bright rose hips,
just as they are usually found
growing in the hedges. It is an ori-
ginal idea to use autumn •foliage
and berries for the 'table; various
schemes for an unusual mode of de-
coration can be worked out quite
easily, and the results are gener-
ally both effective and appropriate,

GAVE CZAR BAD FRIGHT.:
Offering of Bayonet Petition Causes
Him to Break Old Tradition.
Russia is electrified by the resent
Imperial decree to the army for-
bidding the presentation of petit -
tions to the Czar under pain of dis-
missal of all the higher grade offi-
cers in the corps from which such a
petition is presented. It breaks a
tradition which has existed • for
more than 300 years.
The decree is due to an incident
during the Napoleonic celebrations
review near Moscow. When the
army "marched :past" at Borodino
a private of the Second Foot,
known as "Alexander the Third
Regiment," stepped out of the
ranks and offered a petition at the
point of his tayonet.. Czar Nicholas
turned livid with fear sand sank half
fainting into the arms of an adju-
tant, hoarsely screaming, "Arrest
thatman !"
The man arrested has since com-
mitted suicide, as all the officers of
the regiment avenged their dismis-
sal an him. He had petitioned
that a calf taken by afellow vil-
lager from his aged another should
be restored to her.
The Last Ozer. Alexander III., al-
ways took such petitions, stopping
on his daily ride or drive to do so.
The incident only hosted a second,
and the adjutant motioned for the
review to proceed, °losing in around
the Czar until be had recovered
from his fright.
Nicholas expressed his displea-
sure by adecree in which he scold-
ed all the officers of the battalion
and "'di ani,ssed the immediate offi-
cers of the unfortunate private:
Their careers are ruined. The de-
gree expresses hope that "such a;
regrettable incident will never .ot-
cur :again." The severe tone is re-
garded as the measure of the Czar's
fright.
"Yes," said the young wife,
proudly, "father ,always gives
something expensive when he mkes
presents," "So I discovered wlen
e gave you away," rejoined •the
young husband.

DON'T WRITE LOVE LETTERS
WHY . TALKING IS _.BETTT'•]g,
THAN 'WRITING.
Lovers Pump Themselves Dry By
Too Prolific Letter -Writ-
ing.
From • time immemorial lovers
have wanted to record their feelings
and emotions, caused by the very
act of loving, on paper. More ink
has been spilt in this way then in
the writing of any learned treatise,
says London Answers. .
From the days of Dante, who
penned reaan,sof exalted hysterical
nonsense to . his .Beatrice (who, by
the way, if history is to be believed,
never saw half of it), down to the.
prosaic soldier of quite modern
times who nort long ago blossomed
out as the author of a thousand
love -letters in a recent breach -of -
promise case, lovers' have from all
time found relief in the exhaustive
occupation of nuill-driving.
And if traded to its :source it will
be found that this very desire to
commit impressions of the loved one
to paper is an extremely selfish one.
For, first of. all, it gives the writer
pleasure to live again fragrant mo-
ments as they appear under his
band in prosaic black letters; and,
seoorndly, he feels that inward' sat-
isfa,ction of the man who has cov-
ered several sheets in the unbur-
dening of his heart.
MAIDENS, BEWARE
Really and truly, he would never
mind if the effusion he has just
given birth to never reached his
lady -love at all. He would be quite
content for it to be put awase with
other documents, probably of a like
character. The desire for .expres-
sion is fulfilled, send it is merely a
matter of habit which makes him
put the finished epistle in an envie-
lope and post it to his sweetheart
of the moment:
And if she was a wise girl she
would put the thick budget on the
fire before opening it.
For, maidens all, beware! Trust
not the man whose correspondence
is voluminous. Besides containing
sentiments which 'he had probably
stretched to the point of ridicule,
his very facility in this line is sus-
picious. Either he has: had a good
deal of practice in the art of ardent
Love -letter writing, or he is ` simply
alove lover, which is a very differ-
ent thing from the lover of a girl,
The former delights in the dis-
secting of bbs passion known as
love, and would write tomes on the
subject were the object of his adora-
tion tion but a vision viewed from alar
-a girl 'seen in the train or passed
on the high -road --whereas, to the
latter, love itself is not so much the
trouble as the "fatal fascinations"

his affections are centreel,,

enough, ,it was the girl who weak

Not nearly so fortunate, because
they failed to realize this essential"
truth in Dan Cupid lore, were an-
other pair. The man poured out
the devotion of his heart in a burn-
ing lava of verse and exquisite
prose, and, like the volcanoes he
.reseanbled, burnt himself entirely
oust in the process. He had no more
to say, neither did he even feel any
more. For the moment his love
was dead, killed by a too -fluent
pen.
He vainly tried to re -kindle the
ashes of his eloquence, but, being of
the type of man whom only a new
object could fire his enthusiasm
afresh, this was impassible. In
foot, socold did he became that the
lady of his heart, to keep her self-
respect at all, was fain to break off
the engagemenrt. She suffered a
great deal, but might possibly have
suffered less had she known she
was well rid of her prolific love -let-

is by no meanest the tallest who has

thirty years ago •a .performance en-
titled "Babel and Bijou" drew
enormous audiences to the old Al-

the Amazon Queen, impersonated

Marian, 8 feet 2 inches in height,
who made a great sensrition as she
strode on to the stage clad in gor-

the piece had run its course she

generally.
Diligently—The exact renderin
of the Greek is difficult. It is var

it oreys the idea of rolling th
fist of one hand in the palm of th
other, thus rubbing the hands thor-

was necessary only to wash the
hands before meals, those who Dame
from the marketplace were to

body. Ve' mb est of the washing in
each instaflce was –not to remove
dirt, but to free oneself £rom-•de.-

fane things; and as one was more
susceptible to defilement in the mar-

was necessary.
Washing of cups—The "cleans-

household utensils. Some manu-
scripts add, "and couches."

Why do they not conduct themselves

Honoreth me with their lips—The
quotation is from Isaiah 29. 13. The
conditions at this time were similar
to those in the prophet's day when
the religious teachers, though pre-
tending to honor God, substituted
their self -constructed doctrines for
the divine law. ' Jesus considers the
rebuke which Isaiah administered
to the faithless leaders of his day to
be fitting at this time:

the aid of water, be pumped
through pipes for any desired dis-
tanee, and, it is claimed, at a far
less cost than it can be transported
by rail. It is also said thab pow-
dered coal when blown into the fur-
nace with an air blast burns with
more economy than does lump coal
when thrown on the grate.
The Hoadley -Knight coal -milling
machine not only cuts the coal froth
floor to roof into a. finely powdered
state, but .pipes it, mixed with wa-
ter in the mine, to any distance de-
sired, as, for instance, to the coal
washer or ooal bins adjacent to the
coke ovens. It necessarily does
away with the use of explosives,
and as the mine is always • wet and
washed clean, there is never any
coal dust. The system is a peculiar-
ly safe one rhe use in gaseous mines
on this account.
The machine itself is automatic,
advancing by a simple hydraulic
feed mechanism., which propels it
along the floor into the face of the
seam, the. rotary cutters on the
armature shaft of the induction mo-
tor cutting the opal very much as a
circular saw cuts wood. A fire en-
gine hose leading from some source
of water under pressure enables a
powerful stream of water to be
thrown against the face of the coal
while it is being cut, thus eliminat-
ing all dust and keeping the tools
cold. The water thus projected
against the coal carries away with
it the comminuted product, which
runs off to the nearest sump,
whence it is pumped to any desir-
able destination.
It is found that the violent jet of
water so aids the breaking up of ths
coal by the cutter that the °oat
breaks clean to the floor and the
roof, even though the cutters do not
reach within several inches of
either, It is found also that by cut-
ting narrow rooms and leaving
narrow pillars timbering is largely
done away with, and in some mines
is rendered entirely unnecessary.
The elimination of timbering, haul v
age, explosives and practically all
of the hard labor a,resome of the
things that are claimed for this sys-
tem.
When a, nian merely means well
;she's apt to be more of a nuisance
than a friend.
Opportunity might call again if it
got any sort of a welcome the last
tithe its called.
