DEFIES HEAT AND COLD.
A New Kind of OUm Unhurt tr Violent
Atmospheric Change.
The new German glass is a new and
singular departure in that line, disre
garding as it does the ordinary princi
ple that good glass must contain, to
gether with silica and a divalent or
trivalent metallic oxide, the oxide of
a monovalent metal an alkali metal
or thcllium but while thus free from
alkali can be worked before the blow
pipe, and has a small coefficient of ex
- pansioa. The inventor, says the New
York Sun, was led to the production of
-his compound glass by studying the
state of strain in ordinary glass vessels
and tubes cooled in contact with air. As
a hollow glass vessel, cooled in contact
with the air, has its outer skin in a
state of compression, while the inside
is in a state of tension, it is easily dam
aged on the inside, but is resistent on
the outside; a hollow glass vessel, if
introduced when cold into warm air,
has its outer skin thrown into a state
of compression, but if, when it is hot,
it is exposed to cold air, its outer skin
is thrown into a state of tension this
being the reason why cold air causes
glass to crack more readily than hot
air does. The inventor succeeded in
throwing the outer layer into a perma
nent state of compression by covering
the glass vessel with a thin outer layer
of gluss which has a small coefficient
of expansion. The flasks made of such
glass can be filled with boiling aniline
and immediately sprinkled on the out
side with cold water glass dishes, too,
can be heated over the naked llunsen
flame without cracking. Pressure
tubes of this compound glass are also
made to meet all the requirements of
practice and have been kept in con
tinuous use on locomotives for five
months. '
CAN THE HEART BREAK?
Many Instances of Death Being Due to
Grief, Fear, Etc.
Grief doe not kill, and it is, indeed,
very seldom that heavy sorrow causes
death to anyone when in a healthy con
dition, says a write in the Buffalo
Times. It is, however, very often the
indirect cause of a death, either by
bringing disease to a climax or by ren
dering the sufferer more liable to its at
tack. If a man is convinced that his
grief is more than he can bear those
who have studied the matter agree
that through the force of his own
imagination the man will actually die
of a "broken heart."
The great Napoleon was killed by an
internal disease, but it is supposed
that it would not have been fatal had
not his spirits been so depressed through
exile and defeat. William Plutt, the
orator, is said to have died of a "broken
heart," caused by his great grief at the
failure of his cherished hopes and
plans. And there have been many
other such instances in the history of
this country. When plagues are raging
in a town 'statistics show that as
many die from fright and imaginary
causes as from the real epidemic, so
great a hold has the fear of death on
some people.
If a man is condemned to be shot it
has often occurred that on the word
"fire" he has dropped lifeless, although,
through accident or design, no bullet
has in reality left the gun.
There is a queer case on record con
cerning the daughter of a celebrated
French novelist, who was deeply inter
ested in one of her father's stories. It
appeared' in installments, and the hero
ine wns suffering from consumption.
As the girl brooded over the sad fate of
r the heroine she, too, suddenly mani
fested the same symptoms. A physician
recommended the father to restore the
heroine to health, which he did a few
chapters on, and at the same time as
the pirl in the novel recovered, so also
did his too sentimental daughter.
SOCIETY'S NEW FAD.
Planting a Little Acorn at a Birth or
Marriage.
Society has a new English fad. It
might be more properly called a sug
gestion of a fad, for it requires time to
grow, just as an acorn requires timo to
become an oak. When the duke of
York was married a loyal subject
planted an acorn. The loyal subject
assiduously cultivated the tiny sprig
which presently appeared above
ground. When the son of tho duke of
York was born, says an eastern ex
change, the loyal subject presented his
tiny oak to tho infant prince, in bohalf
of whom It was received most gracious
ly. It was plantud at Haudriugham
and is the chief prido and cure of tho
head gardener. A new leaf on that ouk
is second in importance only to a new
tooth In the future king's head. It is
the court fashion for roynlty and no
bility to Inquire frequently as to the
growth of the little tree, and it is es
teemed a high privilege to see l'rinee
Edward's tiny oak, the acorns of which
will doubtless bo treasured up as sou
venirs several hundred years after
Prince Edward has been gathered to
his fathers. Tho "family tree" idea is
, certain to he no less popular in Ameri
ca than in Englaud, where tho fad has
the favor and patronage of royalty.
The fashion may be called a pretty
ouo, commemorating anniversaries
about which most family sentiment at
tache's, tho date of marriuge and of the
birth of the first heir, and it carries
ou in tho future, in a way which it is
pleasant to funey, its story of a double
happiness. To plant the acorn on tho
date of the wedding, to transplant and
present the tree on the day the first
baby is born that is the simple method
of the new fnd.
TIPS FOR THE QUEEN.
They Art Called Perquisites, But She Geta
Them Just tba Same.
Queen Victoria gets more tips than
any other functionary in Great Britain,
uud, what is more, she insists on pet
ting them. Of course they are not
called tips. They are called perquis
ites, but it is all tho same. An ex-attache,
writing in the New York Trib
une, says that among the most curious
of them is her right to every whale or
sturgeon captured on the coast of the
united kingdom and brought to land.
IJoth of these perquisites date back to
the days of the Norman kings and it
appears that in the case of the whale
the monsters were divided between the
sovereign and his consort, the queen
taking the head in order that her ward
robe might be replenished with the
whalebone needed for tho stiffening of
her royal garments.
Another of the queen's backsheesh
is a certain number of magnificent
Cashmere shawls, which are dispatched
to her every year from the kingdom of
Cashmere. They vary in value, as a
rule, from three hundred to twelve
hundred dollars apiece and the queen
is accustomed to present one of them
as a wedding present to every young
girl of the aristocracy or in whose fu
ture she is in any way Interested.
Every tailor holding a patent of "Pur
veyor to her Majesty," if he conforms
to ancient tradition and usage, should
present her with a silver needle each
year.
Another class of royal purveyors is
called upon to present annually to her
a table cloth, while from other sources
she is entitled to an annual contribu
tion of such varied tips as white doves,
white hares.curry combs, fire tongs, scar
let hosiery, nightcaps,knives,lancesand
crossbows. Moreover, at the corona
tion the lord of the manor of Adding
ton must present to the sovereign a
"dish of pottage" composed of "almond
milk, brawn of capons, sugar, spices,
chickens parpoilcd and chopped." At
the same ceremony the lord of the
manor of Ilaydon is obliged by virture
of his tenure from the crown to pre
sent the monarch with a towel, the
lord of .the manor of Workshop giving
the sovereign a "right-handed glove."
These are only a few of the various
backsheesh to which Queen Victoria is
entitled by tradition and usage.
TRICK WITHA BANK BILL.
A Maa Who Planned a Good Joke on His
Boston Friends.
A man walked into a hotel near the
Orand Central station early -the other
morning, having just left a train. lie
ordered and ate a hearty breakfast and
then, instead of giving his waiter the
money to pay the check and waiting
for the change, as most men do, he
"tipped" the waiter and carried the
bill to the cashier.. In his hand, says
the New York Tribune, along with the
bill for his breakfast, he held a ten
dollar note.
"I wish," he said to the cashier,
"that you would pin a slip of paper to
this bank bill, so that you can identify
it, and then put it away, please, until
I call for it. I'll be back to-morrow."
The cashier looked rather aston
ished. "Yes," said the other. "I .only want
to leave it here as Beeurity for my
breakfast. I'll come back to get it."
"But it's a good bill," said the cash
ier. "I'll accept it and give you the
change."
"No," replied the stranger. "I don't
want you to do that. I want merely to
leavo this bank bill in pawn. I want to
pledge it. Give me the price of my
breakfast on it, and to-morrow I'll re
deem it."
"Oh, I see," said the cashier, with a
smile, "you want to keep this bill be
cause it has some peculiar value through
association. It's a sort of a souvenir,
ch?"
"Well, not exactly," was the answer.
"You see, I have been over in Boston.
I went nearly broke there. When I
was coming away some of my friends
insisted on lending mo some money. I
told them that I should not need it,
but they declared I could not pull
through. One of them forced ten dol
lars on me."
" 'I'll tell you what I'll do,' I said.
'You take down the number and date
of this bill. I'm aoming to Boston
again next week. Now to prove to
you that I don't need this ten dollars,
I'll bet you that I bring the same bill
back with me, I'll bet a dinner for us
all.'
"They took the bet, and that is why
I want to put this bill in pawn. Pretty
good joke on them, eh?" he said, with
a wink. "I spend it, and yet I keep it.
Take good care of it for me," and he
went out, looking like, a conqueror.
About five minutes later the cashier
took out the bill, pinned the slip of pa
per to another one of about the same
color and appearance, and slipped them
back into his cash-drawer.
"J wonder who'll have the joke on
him, now?" he said to himself, and then
he whistled softly.

AN EARLY IRONCLAD.
It Was Built toBreak Through the
Spanish Lines.
The idea of protected ships, such as
the modern men-of-war, is by no means
an absolutely new one. This is proved,
says the Western Mail, of Cardiff, by
the fact that an armored vessel was
constructed, though crudely, of course,
as far baek as 1585 by a shipwright of
Antwerp during the wars between the
Spaniards and the Dutch. In the sum
mer of 158.1 Antwerp was invaded by
tho Spaniards both by land and water,
and tho people of Antwerp built the
first protected ship on record in an at
tempt to break through the lino of be
siegers in the river. It was tf craft of
unusual size, wHh flat bottom, its sides
armed with iron plates fastened into
groat beams of wood. When finished
tho builders thought it a floating custle,
impregnable to the artillery and mis
siles of those days, which should crush
all opposition, us it contained a great
number of men, homo of whom were
placed like sharpshooters in the top3 of
tho masts, und the rest protected by
the bulwarks.
They were so confident that tho craft
would rout the enemy that they called
It "Finis Belli," thinking it no doubt
would put an end to the war. Unfor
tunately, however, tho early ironclad
proved a disastrous failure, get tin:;
stuck UiHn a bank of tho Scheldt after
n very short and unhappy career. The
Spaniards were greatly amused with
the untimely end of the vessel, while
the brave burghers of Antwerp changed
the name from "Finis Belli" to "Per
dito Expensal," or "Money Thrown
Away." The crew then deserted the
ship, and the Spaniards, after defeat
ing the Netherlanders in a naval bat
tle, carried the monster in triumph to
the camp of Alexander, of Parma, where
it became one of the sights of the
times. The city of Antwerp was taken
August 17, 1585, and so the first iron
clad on record came to an unfortunate
end,
REPRODUCTION IN MICROBES.
Tiro Million Individuals From a Single
Specimen.
The old line of pseudo scientists, the
superstitious, self-styled "scholars" of
the early part of this and the latter
part of the eighteenth century, be
lieved that filth would breed microbes,
but, as the absurd idea of "spon
taneous generation" has long - since
been exploded, it will not be discussed
in this "note,"" which is solely intended
to explain the manner in which mi
crobes multiply. There are several
species of these minute creatures and
they have various ways of reproducing
their species, but the most common is
what the investigators term "repro
duction by fissure." If, with a strong
microscope, we carefully watch a mi
crobe for a short time we see a "con
striction" appearing on each side in
the center of the body. This soon
shows itself in the shape of a line
across, and then, all of a sudden, the
auicrobe separates in the middle and
behold, we have two in place of one!
Each of these rapidly increases in size
until they are as large as the original,
when the miracle of the side spots and
transverse line appears and in place of
two microbes we have four. By this
wonderful plan of reproduction one
increases to two, two to four, four to
eight and eight to sixteen until within
the space of five hours we have two
million wiggling individuals from a
single specimen.
Tho Death of Hannibal.
Hannibal was made an exile, not as
commonly supported, through Roman
influence so much as from the personal
animosity of his countrymen. After the
defeat at Zimma he turned his atten
tion to the political affairs of Carthage,
and inaugurated a system of reform
which he carried out so rigorously that
he soon found himself 'intensely hated
by a largo faction of the Carthaginians.
Behind him was the honesty of the
country, however, and, finding heoould
not be swerved from his purpose, the
rogues in office attempted to assassin
ate him. Finding that his death had
been determined on Hannibal left Car
thage, went to Tyre, and thence to the
dominions of Antiochus, whom he soon
enlisted in war with Rome. The war
proved a failure, and Antiochus was
ordered to surrender Hannibal, who
got news of the demand and made his
escape. Roman hatred followed him to
Bithynia, and, finding himself on the
point of being given up, he died from
poison. The story that he once had a
meeting at Ephesus with ins old ene
my, Scipio Africanus, is told on fairly
good authority.
TOLD BY THEIR DRESS.
The Women of Different Nationalities
Easily Distinguished.
You can tell at a glance the French
woman from the American, the latter
from the English woman, and yet, says
the Paris-New York Herald, each wom
an is a perfect type.
The well-dressed Frenchwoman
wears a very large hat or exquisite
toque; her chiffon blouse has short
sleeves, and is made with turndown
collar; her gloves are very long, reach
ing far above the elbow, and, although
white, are perfectly clean and fresh.
She has a waist at whatever sacrifice,
also hips. She wears a white veil,
which she never puts on, under her hat,
and when she walks, which is seldom,
it is on the tips of her toes.
The well-dressed English woman
wears in the morning a man's colored
shirt, with white collar, a man's neck
tie, a tailor-made white drill or holland
jacket and skirt, a pretty hat with flow
ers, with veil plastered over the face to
keep the fringe in curl.
She has a good figure and is very tall,
does not wear high heels and uses her
whole foot when walking.
The American woman is a combina
tion of these twq. With great acute
ness she selects the best points of each,
but you would never take her for any
body but herself. She is rather inclined
to the enormous hats of the French,
but she does not wear short sleeves
and low necks with them.
She is always appropriately dressed
and has a costume for every occasion
which always seems the very best
thing that she could have chosen. She
seems to have calculated all weathers
and all occurrences with an eye to her
dress hence her success.

A Bicycle constructed oi material that is solid, tough and wiry;
that ia 6imple in construction, easily taken apart and put together again
has few parte, is of such wiry material that its parts will hold together
even in an accident, no hollow material to be crushed in by every con
tact; a frame that cannot possibly be broken; a frame BOBimple that its
adjusting parts serve as its connecting parts; a one-piece crank in place
of a dozen parts; always reaJy to give reliable and rapid transportation.
SPECIFICATIONS AND DESCRIPTIONS.
FRAME. Improved Double Diamond. What is a Double
Diamond Frame? Simply a true truss in every direction for strains
that occur in Cycles the outline of two diamonds in its makeup. The
frames are constructed of f -inch cold rolled steel rods, the toughest and
strongest metal for its weight known, and the parts are joined together
with steel and aluminum bronze fittings in such a manner that it is
impossible to brake or any part to work loose.- A marvel of novelty,
simplicity and durability, the greatest combination of ingenuity in bi
cycle mechanism, to build a frame without brazen joints and tubing,
as you know that frames continually break and fracture at brazen joints
and tubes when they are budkled in cannot be repaired. We guaran
tee our Double Diamond Frame for three years. You cannot
break it. Standard 6ize steering head and wheel base, ball bearings
at both ends of head.
WHEELS. 28-inch front and rear, warranted one-piece wood
rims, best quality piano wire 6pokes and brass nipples, large barrel hubs
fitted with "Arlington" hose pipe, Morgan & Wright "quick repair," or
some other first-class pneumatic tire.
AXLE AND BEARINGS. Indestructible ball bearings through
out, with 148 hardened steel balls. Crank shaft bearings are fitted with
our patent ball cases, which are interlocked and support each other and
cannot possibly come apart while in use. Are neat and cover the bear
ings completely. It has been an acknowledged fact that crank axle
bearings are susceptible of improvement, as threaded cones or crank ax
les are continually crowding or working loose. We save this entire nuis
ance by having no threaded parts whatever, but a clever device in frame
for adjustment, Our invention is most'perfect in simplicity and must
be seen to be appreciated. , The sprocket and chain are on the inside of
the frame and ball bearings. Great value is gained by this arrange
ment; ease of running, double wear eaved, positive never loose bearings,
freedom from contact with chain and sprocket, smooth outward globu
lar ball bearings, less friction and lost motion, hence greater speed.
Then with the jointlesa "one-piece crank," feet, ankles and trousers are
free from injury.
ONE-PIECE CRANK. Our great achievement; by its appli
cation we put two cranks, two pedal axles, two keys, six screws, six nut
and four washers all in one piece. From 50 to 100 per cent, of all the
trouble tD bicycles is from cranks working loose and pedal axles that
break from clamping connections. They get loose no matter how much
pains is taken to key and tighten them. This is caused by too many
parts, and it is entirely saved by our device, which is but one piece,
and made from tough rolled Bteel rods, impossible to break. It has been
proven that when other cranks break from accident, our one-piece crank
will hardly bend.
CHAIN. Humber block pattern, best quality, hardened.
SPROCKET WHEELS. Best drop forged steel.
REACH. Shortest, 28 inches; longest, 37 inches,
GEAR.1 64 or 72, as specified.
FRONT FORKS. Indestructible. Our fork crowns are simply
a section of gun barrel steel turned up to size, then bored and bent,
forming a perfect fork crown that cannot be surpassed for strength and
beauty, also giving a support to our solid cold rolled fork rods that just
limit the necessary amount of springiness required in a front fork and
which can only be obtained by use of our forks and crown.
HANDLE BARS. Reversible and adjustable, a marvel' of sim
plicity, readily adjusted to any position desired, with best cork or com
position handles. In buying a bicycle it is always a vexed question as
to whether you want dropped or elevated handle bars. If you wanted
one kind you could not have the other. Our handle bar enables you to
have either at will. Will furnish Ram's Horn handle bars if preferred.
SADDLES. Gilliam, P. & F., Readine,"or other first-class make.
PEDALS. Rat trap or rubber; full ball bearing.
FINISH. All parts are enameled with our own special enamel,
rubbed down and baked, giving it a handsome black, glossy appearance.
All bright parts are heavily nickle-plated; these, with the jet black gloss
parts, give a handsome appearance which cantfot be excelled.
ACCESSORIES. Each "Maywood" Bicycle is furnished with a
leather tool bag, containing pump, wrench and patent oiler.
WEIGHT. According to tires, pedals, saddles, from 27 to 30 lbs.
A PRICE THAT WILL REACH YOU.
Do not imagine because it is not high priced it is not high grade
We do not use expensive hollow tubing, besides, we belong to no Com
bination or Trust. We own every patent, pay no royalties, manufacture
the entire wheel ourselves and are satisfied with a reasonable profit, em
ploy no expensive racers, but depend upon the good common sense ot
the American people to appreciate a good thing when they 6ee it. We
afford to make the price we do, for we expect to 6ell ten "Maywoods"
to ona of any individual make sold. We simply say that the "3Iay
wood1' is a perfect Bicycle, containing more originality and genuine
points of excellence than can be found in all other machines together.
The "Maywood" has successfully passed through the experimen
tal stage. During the past three years we have put out over 5,000
"Maywoods," placed in the hands of riders of all classes and widely
distributed through the country. Expert riders and clumsy riders,
heavy men'and light men, on smooth road3 and on rough roads, have
given this wheel every conceivable test, proving it to be the best wheel
on earth for every day use, a wheel that can be constantly used over the
roughest roads without showing weakness and the constant necessity of
repairs. Its construction is bo simple, its vital parts so strong, that the
possibility of breakage is reduced to a minimum.
