No other leavening agent will make such
light, sweet, delicious, wholesome food.
If some grocers urge another baking pow
der upon you, it is because of the greater
profit upon it. This of itself is evidence of the
superiority of the “ Royal.” To give greater
profit the other must be a lower cost powder,
and to cost less it must be made with cheaper
and inferior materials, and thus, though selling
for the same, give less value to the consumer.
To insure the finest cake, the most whole
some food, be sure that no substitute for
Royal Baking Powder is accepted by you.

Lincoln in a cold blooded manner. Love-

Tho fact is that the excellent captain
if the Umbria, Captain M cKay, was a
little more open with his passengers tli in
was finite prudent. W ith the laudable
desiro of sparing them any unnecessary
anxiety, ho informed them plainly of the
cause of thesto>]>nge of their course and
genially assured them o f their perfect
safety. So far. so good. The passengers
had a right to ask that much, und it was
hut sensible to let them know tho truth
sml not imagine worse things for them
►elves But what the passengers hud n :
right to nslc for was information ns to
tlio course that tho captain was going to
pursue, anil Captain McKay made a
mistake in not snubbing the first gentle
man who questioned him on the subject.
‘ W hy don’t you send np rockets?” one
of the passengers is suid to have plain
tively demanded. “ There w ill Is* time
enough for rochets when a vessel comes
near enough to see them ," answered tlio
captain evasively, but courteously.
Tlio politeness was fatal. A fter the
implied admission that rockets and other
ships were necessary to their salvation
the passengers had a terriffic hold nixm
tho unlucky commander o f the ship.
Had lie only answered, as lie would
have boon |>orfoctly justified in doing
and as a great many other captains
would certainly have done, "W h a t busi

made himself a little -un|K<pulur, but he
would have saved himself from much
further worry. The passengers seem to
have actually divided themselves into tw o
different camps anil discussed a vote of
confidence or censure. Happily com
mou sense curried tlio day, uml a vote of
confidence was carried. What would
have been done hail the vote o f censure
been passeil we cannot guess, hut this
at least wo may say that if that motion

plain duty o f tho captain to put the

Nature's freaks of fancy afford a
strange Btudy. People are constantly
sending to the National museum sup
posed fossil animals and other oddities
which are in reality mere accidental
forms carved by water. A pebble in a
stream gathers about itself grains of
sand until an odd shaped lump is
made. A favorite shape for such lumps
is that o f a turtle w ith four legs, a head
and tail, cveu the lines of the shell be
ing sometimes distinct Sim ilar concre
tions of carbonate of iron and clay as
sume the appearance of petrified pea
nuts. Break one, and you w ill always
find inside a small spiral winkle shell,
which has served as the nucleus. A
queer counterfeit of this kind, forward
ed to Washington not long ago, was an
alleged fossil foot of a child, w ith a lit
tle stocking on, the latter showing signs
o f wear ou the hall of the foot and on
tho heel. It was only a concretion, as
was likewise what appeared to be a pet
rified oyster ou the shell
One eminent scientist has been amus
ing him self of late by making imitation
spider webs out of quart/, fibers. It is
well kitowu that copper w ire can be
drawn to a fineness much less than the
thickness o f a hair— iu fact, to the d i
ameter o f the one-thousandth part o f an
inch. But glass may be spun finer than
copper, w h ile even the finest spun glass
is not so fine as silk fiber. The latter,
however, is coarse compared w ith the
threads that can be obtained by m elting
quartz under a blowpipe and pulling it
ou t Such threads may be reduced to a
thinness of one-millionth o f an inch.
Drawn to such tenuity, they are invisi
ble under a microscope of the highest
power. Y e t they are stronger in propor
tion to their thickness than the best
quality of bar steel. Euough thread like
this could be mado from a single cubic
inch o f quartz to go around the world
658 times. A grain of sand barely large
enough to be visible to the naked «ye
would yield 1,000 miles of thread.
Obviously no practical use can be
mado o f threads so extremely fine.
Comparatively coarse ones were woven
into cobwebs by the scientist aforesaid.
They would not catch flies because they
xvere too slippery, having no gluten on
them, like real cobwebs. This difficulty
was got over by moistening a straw in
castor oil anil gently stroking tho threads
w ith it; then the webs captured flies
fairly well. But a cobweb is incomplete
without a spider, so it occurred to the
experimenter to attract an arachnid to
his web by the buzzing of a fly. It was
difficult to make a fly buzz to order, but
a satisfactory imitation was produced
by perm itting a tuning fork to vibrato
against the quartz fibers. This fetched
the spider right away. The scientist also
amused himself w ith blowing bubbles
of quartz, which looked exactly like
the most beautiful soap bubbles.—
