"The Englishman," said a wrest end
hatter, 'is never violent or conspicuous
in changing a fashion, and only it very
slight alteration can be made at a time.

has been no decided change in the shape

shallownes seems to have been reached.
They aro now being made six inches

quarter in the largest, so that they can

even a quarter of an inch does not sound
very much, but it really makes a great
deal of difference in the appearance of
a hat. The very tall hat of fifteen years
ago was only six and fide-oighthe inches
deep,
"I do not believe, however, the top hat
will become as deep as that again. The

qualified even thio phrase by deeoribing
their cuisine as "the least disagreeable"
in England.
A dleappolntment that he never got

lifelong weakness and nervous disposi-

Only twice did Nobel ever rlsit the
great high explosive factory which ho
established In Scotland, In Paris he was

ary knowledge of languages, a diatruet
of lawyers—he made his own will—and
when heart disease cane upon him he
woro a epygmograph to trace the irregu-
larities of hie pulse.
Tiring of the pictures on his walla he
arranged with an art dealer to have his
rooms hung with pictures on hire, re-
turning them and receiving others in ex-
change as often as he liked. He took

Italian Engineer Plans to Use Steam

So much has been Bad regarding

Niagara sliver by using Hie 0.11001110112
mass of water as a power producer, that
an etlgineer Who turns 'ilia attention to
the inner fires of the earth may be
regarded as a sort of scientific saviour
of eeciety. notaries have been published
showing the condition to which Niagara
will be reduced in a single decade of
years, and the satirist and the sentimen-
talist have ;oines1 Inands in attacks up-
on the corded commercialism which des-
t:eye w)w1 nature intended to be bides-
trtletible,
lint volcanoes, through picturesque, are
not so alluring as waterfalls, rued might
be utilized to almost any extent fox
practical purpose; without fear of a
public protest. An Italian engineer, a
native of Tuscany, purpeocs to attempty
this feat ou a large scale. He has made
a close observation of the temperature
of a steam issuing from the isa,fford,
and hors found that during the pest tan
}roars or so the temperature has atareoly
altered, nor has the amount of steam
altered, rue has the amount of steam
varied much in quantity. '1'110 steam
rises thirty and occasionally ninety feet,
the temperature ranging from two hun-
dred and fifty degrees to two hundred
and eighty degrees Fahrenheit.
Thee ingenious Italian has already sue-
oeeded in harnessing the energy far the
operation of a small steam engine, to
which a dynamo was connected, and is
confident of far greater achievenlentl.
Ito is now malting endeavors to drive a
turbine with the steam issuing from

gregate of some four thousand hor'ee-

acoepted as accurate, it would seem that

The Ebb and Flow of Immigration,
That immigration flood of 1,285,000
people in the fiscal year 1907, whioh
added on June 30th and which left all
the records far behind, attroeted far
lase attention than did an inrush of a
quarter of those dimensions half a cen-
tury ag.o When the potato famine in
Ireland in 1846 sent the immigration
into the United States in 1847 above the
200,000 mark for the first ti)tie in the
country's history, and when the abor-
tive insurrections in Austria, Hungary,
Prussia, Bavaria, and other European
countries jn 1898-49 re -enforced the
Irish inpour and sent the inunigmtion
above the 300,000 line in 1860, and above
400,000 in 1854, many persons feared
that the alien deluge woad overwhelm
America and eubvort its institutions.
Then started that wave of nativism
which resulted in the establishment of
the secret, oath -bound Know -Nothing
party, which swept Maseaehusote and
several other States in 1884 and 1855,
and which, under the name of the Am-
erican party, polled 875,000 votes for
Fillmore for President in 1860. The Civil
War, and the neereeity of gutting as
many soldiere as possible from all ele-
ments of the population, killed Nativism
and, except in a few feeble and s,poradlo
outbreaks, it has not reappeared since.—
