Chicago Inventor Has Succeeded li Substituting; Heat Raps for Soldering Metals. The sun has been madeto perform new work by an ingenious Chicago man.

He has hit upon tlie idea of substituting the suns rays for the iron used in soldering metal. J. B. Merkel is the inventor of this new process. Mr.

Merkels soldering outfit is as simple as the methods he employs in uniting different pieces of metal. It consists of a large and powerful burning glass and a stick of specially prepared solder. With these he has been able to make joints as firm as those turned out of any hardware shop with the aid of irons and heating pots. Every one probably has at some 1 ime or other been the victim or the per-peTrator of the time-worn joke, in which the suns rays are concentrated in a convex glass and focused on the hand or neck, ami those who have been through this ordeal know the amount of heat that can be generated in this way. They learn this from Ihe burning sensation accompanying tbe joke.

It is tli is general principal that Mr. For some weeks the most exclusive set in the Back bay, Boston, Mass, have been entertaining and have been entertained by a youthful princess of Tangier, Mllle. Torquia of Morocco. For purposes of incognito the princess prefers to be addressed as Mile Torquia. She is not yet 24 years of age and is a perfect type of oriental beauty.

Dark of eyes and hair, lithe of form and with skin the complexion of a sun-kissed peach. A marvelous woman is this beauty from the orient. She speaks English, Spanish, Italian, French, Russian, Swedish, Egyptian, Algerian, Danish and the dialects of the desert, such as Skellah. She sings a pure contralto that suggests the land of the cypress and myrtle, and she dances as only the oriental can dance. The dnncing of Frincess Torquia, however, is not the hopping motion The Goitlil family heritage, which seems to be to make millions out of pennies, has developed jn a new center.

Edwin Gould, has set up in business for himself. This is surprising, for Edwin is but eight years old. What is more, he is much in earnest over his money making venture, like his father and grandfather, has chosen to begin in a small way. He is in the retail pin business and his scale of prices is one cent for 200 pins. Young Edwin drifted into tlie pin business rather unconsciously, but bis efforts were well directed from the first, nevertheless.

He is a grave child and among his earliest reflections was one on the waste of things in general and pins in particular. He canceived the idea that the pins thrown away should be saved, so he started out simply as a collector. He gathered hundreds of these little btmss strays and castaways with no thought of gain. At this stage of his development heredity asserted itself tind young Edwin came to the conclusion that a thing could not be pleasurable unless profitable. So he put a price upon bis labors and in the Gould pin establishment the motto, 200 pins for one cent, was created.

Edwin bad the pin collecting fad for some time before it was known, but his unnatural business instincts think, of all the things at school A boy has got to do, That studyin' hist'ry, as a rule.

One culls for and is a rather dangerous irocess. Another uses the sand blast -a jet of sand" discharged at the glass jbjeet through a shield of paper, pasted thereon and pieced with the pattern.

A close resemblance to the tatter plan for the use of amateurs is lescribed by the Jewelers Circular-Weekly. It is available only for flat Mates, not dishes. Tlie design is drawn on white paper and then cut out. The paper must be pasted onto the glass lently and snugly, so that there will be no air holes, loose places, or shreds overhanging the pattern. The plate is next fastened temporarily in the bottom of a wooden box, with the inscription upward.

Now dump in a lot of emery powder and shot, and shake vigorously. In accordance with the fineness of the engraving wanted, fire or rough emery or shot are used. By shaking the box well in all directions, the emery particles will soon adhere to the shot and give it a rough surface: they press and set Ic into it. ns if they were driven in purposely. The sharp points of the shot, thus prepared, combined with the pest of the emery, rut into the glass by the continued shaking of the box.

When sufficiently engraved the plate is removed from the box and the paper pattern washed "IT, Stars, leaves, scrolls and lettering i can he engraves! in thi- manner.

As a definite amount of time is required for the molecules of the metal to flow, the action of the blow was so rapid that the compression could not distribute itself uniformly through the mass; a- a result, the out- Science at present shows a tendency to turn back to some of tlie beliefs of the ancients regarding scents. Centuries ago scents were accounted more than luxuries.

Pliny records 85 remedies derived from odorous rue. 41 whose base was mint, 32 balms from roses, 22 from lilies, bulb and bloom, and 17 medicaments strong in the virtue of violets. Thus it appears that the violet cure for cancer is among the very new things that surface science scorned because they were so very old. Now, say various experts, one must choose and use perfumes with an eye, or. rather, a nose, to health.

So it is worth while to set down the properties attributed to various perfumes. Pure violet essence is said to be especially suitable to nervous people. Hut it must be obtaiined from the flowers themselves, not the chemical imitations. True flower scents are obtained by three ways first, by spreading fresh blossoms upon glass thickly smeared iith pure grease, letting them stand in the sun. and as they wither replacing 'hem until the grease is as fragrant as the flowers: second, by repeatedly infusing fresh petals in oil, and.

third, by infusing them in ether, which is then distilled to a dry solid. After all the scent possible has been extracted from the grease it is still fragrant enough to make the very finest perfumed soap. All the citrine scents bergamot, neroli, orange flower water- are refreshing. in a degree stimulating, if properlv prepared. To make a lasting perfume some animal base is essential musk.

civet or ambergis. If the base is too strong, it makes the flower scent curiously irritant. People who feel thvinselves faint in a crowded room are often the victims of several scents simultaneously attacking the nerves. A single odor, no matter how strong, after awhile deadens the olfactory nerves, whereas a combination keeps them active. Lavender is peculiarly suited tohigh-st rung temperaments.

It is soothing ns well as refreshing, without being unduly stimulating, should al-wa vs be used pu re Alone it tones and brace- the whole system, but in almost all its compounds is singularly depressing. Neroli is the exception. Jasmine and neroli together in faint essence make the scent of scents for all who have hysterical tendencies. Washington Star. CHARMED BY EDNA MAY.

A special acid mut also be prepared to aid in the work. This is made of carbolic acid in which has been dissolved to saturation a certain quantity of zinc, with a prescribed proportion of phosphoric acid and spirits of wine.

But the chief drawback is that the suns rays are not always available, and without their aid the work cannot bf carried on. Chicago Tribune. EANANA RIVALS WHEAT. It la Twenty-Five Time Nutritions na the Hiton Weight of tlie Anierienn Ccrenl. ing them up." Apparently unaware of th.

Even when she told him that he would break bis finger nails in the pursuit he did not falter, nnd only when she explained that the hairpin would greatly increase his speed in acquiring pins did he accept it. "Why do you pick tip pins?" she asked, encouraged by his gracious acceptance.

"1 get pennies for them." answered young Edwin, promptly. "I pick tip all I can find, and when 1 have 200 1 get a cent. I can make lots of money." He did not stop working to give tlie information, nnd even when Mrs. Gould was ready to go to her carriage lie left the house of many pins with evident reluctance, but enriched by several cents. The Goulds have always known the value of money, nnd the early commercial instincts developed by the scion of tlie Edwin Gould family are the natural result of influences of heredity nnd otherwise.

This concentration of the powers of his mind, no doubt, assisted him to become the great lawyer that he was; but it sometimes raised a good joke upon him.

Judge Monroe lived on that high, sleep hill on the west of Frankfort. His saddle horse, on which lie rode down to court, was a little pony, raised on tlie hill, where he learned, with the goats, to climb the hill and the stairsteps of the houses. When mounted, the judges long legs nearly reached the ground, and when seen nt a little distance it was hard to tell which of them was riding; whether tlie pony was carry ing the judge or the judge the pony.

Long before the discovery of the Chaldean ovens, ages before Tyre's bread bowls were lievvn out of the solid rock, man grew wheat, ground and baked it for hia daily sustenance.

To-day science affirms that wheat ns a general food product is doomed; that not oniv is the supply entirely inadequate for the maintenance of the increasing races, but that wheat has by no means the highly nutrient qualities that it has long been' supposed to offer to hungry humanity, and that mirabile dictu! the unprepossessing, yellow finger shaped, despised battalia of the, tropics promises utterly to supplant it in the estimation of the world, Not only that the banana is 25 times as nutritious as the given! weight of wheat, but that it is 44 times as prolific. Thus fruit conquers over the cereal, Honduras over South Dnkota. and famine promises to be forever banished from the face' of the earth. Tlie average cost of cultivating an acre of wheat in the United States is, about $12. An acre of bananas can) be cultivated at the same cost, witl a yield 144 times greater than that of wheat.

Especially was this true of shafts l'oi steam engines, which were one of tlie important products of the great forging plant. With the hydraulic press, on tlie other hand, the force is applied slowly and is as strong at the end of the stroke as at the beginning, so that a forging is made absolutely homogeneous, the interior of the piece being as thoroughly and effectively worked ns the exterior.

Besides this, tlie press is more convenient tool to operate and maintain than the hammer. "At the time of its construction the Bethlehem hammer was by far the largest and heaviest in the world, nnd vve believe it has never been surpassed in this respect. Briefly described, it was a vertical single acting steam engine with a heavy ram attached to the piston rod. Steam admitted below the piston raised the ram, and its fall produced the desired blow. The steam cylinder had a bore of 76 inches, and the piston had a normal stroke of about 16 feet, which could be increased to nearly 20 feet.

The total weight of the moving mass piston, piston rod and rum was 125 ton. The working steam pressure was 120 pounds per square Inch.

How to See the Wind, We know very well when there is wind, without being able to see it, but under proper conditions it is possible to see the wind. Choose a windy day, then secure a polished piece of metal; a handsaw will be the best. Hold the metallic surface at right angles to the direction of the wind. For example, if the wind is in the north, hold the saw east and west inclined about 45 degrees to the horizon.
