ELECTRIC CHAFING DISH.
How the Heat Is Produced in the
Vessel.
Whenever electricity is flowing
through a wire the temperature of that
wire is raised above the surrounding
atmosphere. The amount of heal# de¬
veloped depends upon the nature of
the conducting wire and its size. It
is a fact, that every path through
which electricity flows offers some ob¬
struction to the flow. This quality is
known as resistance, and the resis¬
tance of a difinite length of wire of a
given diamater of any material can
readily be measured. It. is expressed
in units called “ohms” after the Ger¬
man scientist, Dr. George F. Ohm, who
discovered this law of electrical flow.
An ”ohm” is the equivalent to the re¬
sistance of 251 feet of copper wire
about the size of a wire hairpin. A
steel wire of the same size and length
would have a resistance of about seven
“ohms.”
The heat developed in any conductor
with a given amount of current flow¬
ing through it depends upon this “re¬
sistance.” If one part of the circuit
has a higher resistance than another
the most heat will be generated there.
If in a circuit of large low-resistance
copper wire a small piece of fine wire
or platinum wire, each having a very
THE NEW TELEGRAPHY
Instrument Which Will Transmit
Forty-Five Words Per Hour.
In telegraphy, next to certainty of
communication, the most important
thing is speed of telegraphing; and it
Is in this particular that for the pres¬
ent the advantage rests incomparably
with wire-transmitted rather than with
wireless messages. Mr. Antal Poliak,

THE NEW POLLAK-VIRAG SYSTEM OF RAPID TELEGRAPHY.
It Will Send Forty-Four Thousand Words Per Hour.
Royal Colonial institute to further the
alluring prospect of penny cablegrams,
gave an exhibition of the Pollak-Virag
system, of which he is part inventor,
and which was once said to be capa¬
ble of transmitting as many as 100,
000 words an hour. That was the
usual over-estimate, though in practice
45,000 words an hour have been sent
between Berlin and Konlgsberg over a
distance of nearly 500 miles. The
great feature of the Pollak-Virag sys¬
tem is that the message when received
writes itself in characters which re¬
semble those of handwriting. The
message is sent on an ordinary
ELECTRICAL EYE MAGNET.
Used for Extracting Substances Im¬
bedded in the Eyeball.
Foreign particles of magnetic sub
stances are difficult to extract from
the eye, as they are usually sharp met

allic substances which work in rath
er than out. Magnets are used to ad
vantage in extracting iron filings and
the like which are embedded in the
eyeball. What are known as electric
magnets are now being used for this
work. That is, magnets which are
wound with wire, through which an
electric current is passed. Such mag
nets are much more powerful than the
ordinary permanent magnet, and are
high resistance, is introduced, a. cur¬
rent which will barely warm the copi¬
per wire will heat the iron or platin¬
um wire white hot. This arrangement
is used for exploding mines and blasts
or submarine torpedoes.
Heat is developed everywhere in the
circuit by the flow of electricity. It
the circuit is broken a bright spark is
noticed. This is causedby the sudden
heating of the last particles of metal
and possibly to the heating ot an in¬
finitesimal puff of metallic vapor
formed by thy volatilization of the
pictal.
Upon this very principle all the elec¬
tric heating devices oi to-day are con¬
structed.
Take for instance the electric chaf¬
ing dish. Without the above explana¬
tion it is difficult for the layman to
understand where the heat comes from
which cooks the fudge or the welsh
rarebit. One can see no flame, noth¬
ing that even looks as though it
might be hot, yet the contents of the
pan are bubbling away, emitting clouds
of steam.
When the flexible cord is connected
to the electric light socket and the
current turned on the electricity flows
down the wires in the cord to the “re¬
sistance” coil concealed in the bottom
of the chafing dish. This “resistance”
usually of German silver wire does not
allow the current to pass readily,
causing the wire to get quite hot. The
device is supplied with two heats,
meaning that the amount of current
flowing through the resistance can be
increased thereby making the pan hot¬
ter. The “heating unit” in the chafing
dish is entirely concealed and there is
uot the slightest danger of setting fire
to anything when the utensil is in op¬
eration.
Wheatstone transmitter, by first
punching out a strip of paper with the
perforations which represent the let¬
ters. This strip is then run through
the transmitter, and its symbols are
reproduced electrically at the other
end of the line. Those who have seen
an ordinary Wheatstone message know
that at the receiving end of the line
it is written in short and long dashes,
which have to be interpreted. In the
Pollak-Virag system the inventors
place a telephone diaphragm at the re¬
ceiving end, and this diaphragm Is de¬
flected both horizontally and vertically
by the electric impulses received. At¬
tached to the diaphragm is a small
mirror, which moves as the diaphragm
moves, and with the help of a ray of
light reflected on it records the move¬
ment on a roll of photographic paper,
it. might thus record long strokes and
short strokes, but by horizontal and
vertical movement ingeniously impart¬
ed to the mirror these strokes are so
combined as to form themselves into
the semblance of stiff rectangular
handwriting.
designed to give almost any pull de¬

A new form of eye magnet has been
invented by an Ohio man. It is made
.
with a U-shaped until core, the points of
which converge they are close to
gether, enabling ti.:> instrument to be
brought to bear on the injured surface
immediately over the particle to be ex

Single Phase Electric Roads.
A table giving statistics of single¬
phase electric railways in this coun¬
try and in Europe has recently been
prepared by the Westingbouse Elec¬
tric and Manufacturing Company. Ac¬
cording to this table, there are 28
roads (two still under construction)
in America with line voltages ranging
from 1,200 volts to 1,000 volts. Thir¬
teen of the roads are equipped to use
either direct current or single-phase
alternating current. The total num¬
ber of locomotives used on these lines
is 64. In Europe there are 34 single¬
phase roads using line voltage ranging
from 500 to 20,000 volts, and they are
equipped with 44 locomotives.
Waxing Shovel for Shoveling Snow.
During last winter there came a
deep snow, and we had nothing to use
for cleaning the walks except a
pressed steel shove]. The snow would
not slip from the shovel without a
hard jerk on the shovel handle. This
tired me and I began to think of a
remedy, which resulted in taking the
shovel and heating it with hot coals
from the fire. When hot I applied a
w-ax candle to the surface, covering it
all over. The snow then would read

THE GIRL AND THE LOBSTER.
Possibly Harmless Remark, Though
Decidedly Malapropos.
Dorando Pietri, at one of the many
Italian banquets given in his honor In
New York, talked about professional
athletics.
“Amateurism is no doubt more ro¬
mantic than professionalism," he said,
“but we live in an nnromantic age.”
He smiled.
“Only the other night, at one of
your gayest Italian restaurants,”' he
said, “I overheard a dialogue that il¬
lustrated forcibly the age’s lack of ro¬
mance.
“It was late. At the table next to
mine a rich young Italian contractor
was supping with a beautiful young
girl. As the young girl played with
the stem of her wineglass I heard her
murmur:
“ ‘It is true, isn’t it, that you love
me and me only?’

TOLD TO USE CUTICURA.
After Specialist Failed to Cure Her In¬
tense Itching Eczema—Had Been
Tortured and Disfigured But
Was Soon Cured of Dread Humor.
“I contracted eczema and suffered
intensely for about ten months. At
times I thought I would scratch my¬
self to pieces. My face and arms were
covered with large red patches, so
that I was ashamed to go out. I was
advised to go to a doctor who was
a specialist in skin diseases, but I
received very little relief, I tried
every known remedy, with the same
results. I thought I would never get bet¬
ter until a friend of mine told me to try
the Cuticura Remedies. So I tried them,
and after four or five applications of
Cuticura Ointment I was relieved of
my unbearable itching. I used two
sets of the Cuticura Remedies, and I
am completely cured. Miss Barbara

MIX FOR RHEUMATISM
The following Is a never falling rem¬
edy for rheumatism, and if followed
up it will effect a complete cure of
the very worst cases: “Mix one-half
pint of good whiskey with one ounce
of Toris Compound and add one ounce
Syrup Sarsaparilla Compound. Take
in tablespoonful doses before each
meal and at bedtime.” The ingre¬
dients can be procured at any drug
store and easily mixed at home.
Advice to Mothers.
Be positive with the children. Lay
down the law. It Is remarkable how
soon they discover when you are in
earnest. Do not go to the breakfast
table in a flurry, but stop long enough
to count 100 slowly, and then enter
with a cairn manner determining that
there will be no squabbling. It is
natural for the young animal to
scrap, and while not criminal, still it
must be checked to self-control.

CURES COLDS QUICKLY
A never failing home remedy for
coughs and colds ia made from the fol¬
lowing formula to be mixed at home.
“Two ounces of glycerine, cme-lialf
ounce of Concentrated pine compound,
one-half pint of good whiskey; mix and
shake thoroughly; uso in doses of a
teaspoonful to a tablespoonful every
four hours,’’
Thus will cure any cough that is cur¬
able, or break up an acute cold in
twenty-four hours. The ingredients all
can be gotten at any drug store.
The Concentrated pine is a pine prod¬
uct refined for medical use and comes
only in half ounce bottles, each en¬
closed in a round case, which is air¬
tight, but be sure that it is labeled
“Concentrated.”
A Running Broad Jump.
"One day," related Denny to his
friend Jerry, “when 01 had wandered
too far inland on me shore leave Oi
suddenly found thot there was a great
big haythen, tin feet tall, chasin’ me
wid a kuife as long as yer ar-rm. Oi
took to me heels an’ for 50 miles along
(he road we had it nip an’ tuck. Thin
turned into the woods an we run
for one hundred an’ twinty miles more,
wid him gainin’ on me steadily, owin’
to his knowledge of the counthry.
Finally, just as Oi could feel his hot
breath burnin’ on the back of me neck,
we came to a big lake. Wid one great
leap Oi landed safe on the opposite
shore, leavin’ me pursuer confounded
and impotent wid rage.”
“Faith an’ thot was no great jump.”
commented Jerry, "considerin’ the
rtinnin’ start ye had.”—Everybody’s

Mice on the Pillow.
“I’m not so much afraid of mice as
some women,” said she, “but I don’t
like them in my hair. The other
night I finished a biscuit I was eating
after I went to bed and naturally left
some crumbs about, not meaning to,
never thinking of mice.
“Well, about the middle of the night
I heard scampering, and there were
the mice all over my hair, trying to
get at those crumbs.
“I tell you, I gave one shriek, sprang
up, lighted all the gas in the room
and sat up the rest of the night watch¬
ing that pillow.”
Work of Women Inventors.
Women are said to have been issued
more than 6,000 patents by the United
Slates office. They are not all domes¬
tic by any means, either, as some of
them are for car couplers, night signal¬
ing, life rafts, car wheels, machines
for manufacturing ozone and a type¬
writer for the blind. A pocket sewing
machine and a sash that will go up
without sticking are other invention#
by women.
There is more Catarrh in this section or the country
than all other diseases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be Incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced It, a local disease and
prescribed local remedies, and by constantly Tailing
to euro with local treatment, pronounced it Incurable.
Science has proven Catarrh to be a constitutional dis¬
ease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney
& Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only Constitutional cure on
the market. It is' taken Internally la cloaca Irom IQ
