Almost Immediately the old cat com-
menced trying to coax her offspring to
go with her but the little one was not
"wise" and insisted on staying at
home. The old cat, therefore, did not
go away that night as was her custom,
but lay down oh the poroh with her
front paws around the kitten. The
husband did not have the heart to
drag the young ode from its mother
and H therefore remained.
A few days later the wife and daugh-
ter started on a week’s vacation, and
again the husband was Instructed
about the kitten, which was to be lost
during their absence. The husband
came.home that night with the firm
determination of losing that kitten,
but neither kitten nor old cat was
anywhere to be found. Sevyal times

Formerly a clapper used to bo rung

totally blind In captivity from excess

accustomed to their keeper as not only

them allow themselves to be lifted out

strange sight of a huge cod, more than
four feet long, dangled on the knee

Smoke Abatement In Glasgow.
The gas and electricity departments
of a corporation In Glasgow, Scotland,
are competing keenly in the exhibition
of appllapces for J*he reduction qf
smoke from furnlfcs autf ■ kitchen
ranges. The electricity department
baa a complete electrically fitted res-
taurant, where all the cooking, the
; kitchen work, the cleaning, the heat-
ing and the lighting are effected by
electric current. The gas department
has a “gas equipped house,” In which
all the cooking and heating Is done
by gas fires, as well as many of the’
other operations In connection with
housekeeping, and in which all the
lighting is obtained fronfincandescent
gas burners ot different types. The
corporation is encouraging the reduc-
tion of smoke, not only by holding
these periodical exhibitions, but also
by lending gas cookers free to all the
citizens. It has loaned 37,000 of these
cookers since March 1. It is also sup-
plying-'kas fires and the demand for
L these has beep so great that it cannot
be met without considerable delay.
Concerning Umbrellas.
Because ot the tremendous vogue
of velvets and the number of costumes
in that material that are being made
up, the velvet-encased umbrella has
come into being. Made on a slender
but substantial frhme, which folds
closely, antt covered when closed and
encased appears like a walking stick
of velvet from ferrule to top. A solid
silver monogram plate caps the han-
dle. which, ten Inches down Its length.
Is ornamented with a double ring of
sliver.
Decided colors are now the smart
thing In silk umbrellas. All th/s fash-
ionable shades of purple, blue, mauve
and the new reds are In demand for
spreads, which are mounted upon
frames that press tightly about a slen-
der stick and give the convenience the
appearance of a silken cane. The
fashionable fad Is to procure a unique
handle fortthe umbrella that Is carried
with the "tailored walking suits, and
while somq’ of the effects are artistic,
others are actually bizarre. Among
the latter are the £at, parrot and
monkey heads In natural colors and
with jewels for eyes. In the former
class are all manner, of beautifully
carved handles of rare woods and
Ivory, and when money is not an ob-
ject, of Jade, amber, rock cfystal or
solid silver and gold.

Harnessing the 8un.
Old Sol himself Is harnessed to do
our world's work. Heat is collected
by pressing water through a glass
covered heater exposed to the sun's
rays. The heated water Is stored In a
well Insulated tank and drawn off
to circulate around a sulphur dioxide
boiler, then, after giving up Its heat,
was again passed through the heater.
It was calculated that in latitude 34
degrees a square foot of water surface
would make up about 23,000 thermal
units In a June day and about 1,600 In
a December day.
Using two heaters, sections expos-
ing 1/000 square feet to the sun, the
heat collected was made to run a
twenty horse-poWer sulphur dioxide
engine, and at times developed about
fifteen horse-power with a boiler pres-
sure of 245 pounds per square Inch.
Reviewing the results, Mr. Wlllsie has
found the cost per horse-power at the
solar power plant to be about-giSo, or
more than four times the cost of a
steam power plant. He makes due al-
lowance for this difference In first In-
vestment and concludes that -ln a
favorable .region, like California, sun
power can compete In cost with steam

of certain stars which are due to

The exact instant of their transit is
recorded electrically by means of a
chronograph, which also records the
seconds from a sidereal clock. The
difference between the time of the
sidereal clock and the time the stars
cross shows the error of the clock.
The time signals sent oat each day
are wholly automatic, and. consist of
a series of short marks produced on
an open telegraphic circuit by the
beats of a transmitting clock located
In the observatory. The wires of ths
Western Union Telegraph company
are used for the dissemination of
these signals at noon (75th meridian)
each day, for an Interval of three and
five minutes Immediately preceding
and ending exactly at noon.
For the country east of the Rocky

the United States observatory at
Washington, and for the country west
of the Rocky mountains the signals
are sent from the Ufilted State/ ob-
