Ground cork and some other barks,
nnd the sawdust of the soft woods, as
well as tho charcoal made of these sub
fctances, are very good ictainers of heat.
Lampblack also works well. When the
thing to be kept hot is at very high
temperature, some light, incombustible
powders are very suitable. Among the
best of these are fossil meal and the cal
cined magnesia and magnesium carbon
ate of the druggists. Fossil meal con
sists of the silicious skeletons of micro
scopic vegetables, called diatoms, ex
ceedingly various in slmio and size, tho
very largest of them hardly reaching tho
length of the hundredth of an inch. It
Ls found abundantly in somo peat mead
ows and in the bottoms of ponds. Both
fossil meal find magnesium carbonate
havo been largely used in covering steam
pipes.
Obviously, when the same light sub
stance is tried in both the first and sec
ond apparatus above mentioned, and tho
results differ, it must be owing to the in
ability of the substance to hold the in
cluded air still in the first arrangement.
So jwwdered plumbago or black lead,
which is very slippery, shows nearly
twice as much transniissive power in one
case as in the other. Loosened asbestos
fiber also lets through about twice as
much heat in the vertical arrangement
as in the horizontal. Yet this liber may
bo split up exceedingly fine, but the great
difference in its behavior as compared
with cotton or wool must be owing much
less to its own greater specific conduct
ing power than to the smoothness and
inelasticity of its fibers. Professor John
M. Ordway in Popular Science Monthly.

Lace was used to ornament handker
chiefs in Franco as early as lliob In
W48 they were embroidered and had tas
sels at each of the four corners. In tho
time of tho Directory, that period of
fashionable eccentricity, they underwent
many vagaries, Those ladies who did
not care to wear tho pocket attached to
the girdle and wished to havo the hands
at liberty tucked the fan into the belt,
slid the pmo into the corsage and had
the handkerchief carried by n gallant,
to whom it was necessary to apply when
it happened to bo needed. If the hand
kerchief carrier could not bo found, or
was insidiously flirting with another wo
man, and the nose imperatively demand
ed blowing, the case was serious.
When the French blow tho nose. ;f.
should be remembered, it is for all it is
worth. No one who has not witnesM'd
the performance could ever believo the
nasal passages possessed of such a honor
ous quality, and when the effort is sev
eral times repeated one might easily im
agine himself listening to the Angtl
Gabriel rehearsing for the last judgment
The French fashion in this respect is not
to be rcckksly imitated like Paris stjle
in laces, bilks and satins, fans, dresj-en,
bonnets and other things pertaining to
female attire. San Francisco Chronicle.

Records of great earthquakes fill a
large space in the world's history, and
instances where people have perished by
thousands from this cause aro mourn
fully numerous. An earthquake accom
panied by a volcanic eruption destroyed
the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum
and buried most of their inhabitants in
the ruins in the year 70, A. D. The en
tiro world was shaken from pinnacle t'k
foundation stone in the year 51!!. In 5,i7
Constantinople suffered terribly from an
earthquake, which killed thousands rn
its inhabitants. In TIC an awful shock
visited China, India, Persia and Palestine,
killing hundreds of thousands of human
beings, besides beasts beyond calculation.
In ll.-3, C0.U00 person perished from an
earthquake shock in Syria alone; in 120:,
CO, 000 were killed or buried alivo in
Cilicia. Iu 1-1 ."(!, 40,000 were killed in.
Naples. In l.Vd Lisbon, Portugal, had
her first great shock that which killed
80,000 people. In 10215 Naples was again
visited and had 70,000 of her people taken
nway by tho earthquake demon. Tlx
next year the Schamnki was constantly
rocked by earthquakes for three mouth-,
during which timo 80,000 porsous were
