Sanitary engineers have long had a difficulty iu m-iliing an effective joiut between the leadeii soil pipes and the stoneware of interior domestic pipes. „Ited lead has been generally used to render the joint gas-tight, but the Junction could never really be depend ed upon as a soldered joint could be. A London firm has at last succeeded in soldering lead piping to stoneware by what they call a "metallokeramic" joint. After the stoneware is baked it is .metallized by paintiug on it a belt with a composition containing plati num. The metallic band is incorpor ated with the body of the pottery by retiring, and thus forms a basis to "wlucli solder v.ili tirmiy adhere. To show the strength of adhcslvcuess made possible by this device, if tlia band of lead soldered to the pottery be stripped elf by main force the surface of the stoneware conies off with it. A convincing test of the staunchness of the Joint has been given by soldering metal disks tc the end of the stoneware pipe and applying hydraulic pressure. The pipe burst before the ends could be forced off. Pat'a Load. Mike—Hello, Pat: Phat be ye workin* at now? Pat (with a hod 'of bricks on his shoulder)—Kape away from furninst tl.ot ladder.

I Saying which, the creole approached I her: tint, a flashing blade in Gertrude's uplifted hand checked his steps, and lor a time fixed him in astonishment a in! awe. "i.et me pass you uninterrupted, or my blood or yours may probably stain the floor!" Gertrude said, her raised hand grasping still tighter the glisten ing weapon, her countenance full of res olution. "Whither would you go'?" he asked, doggedly. "That piece of information is not for your ear!" retorted she, with whole changed manners. "It i» enough that I claim a free passage lience and if such be refused me, that I shall force it!" "Pshaw!" exclaimed Warrington, rc 1 covering his self-possession. "What, ean your weak woman's fingers do against these?" And as he thus delivered hitn self, he held aloft his own two inuscu lar hands, and shook them in the air.

Ocrtrude cried, her whole frame shud dering with terror. "There!" she add ed, throwing down the knife, "spare 1 him and I will be your slave forever!" Warrington smiled, took up the wea pon, and put it away. Then he uttered the word "Come!" and quitting tlie roc 111, led the way down the private staircase, Gertrude inechanlcaly follow ing him, inwardly resolving that the nruis of death should encircle licr rath than those of tlie detestable creole.

They proceeded at brisk gallop. Gertrude's hood had slipped off, and her unbound hair waa floating in the chill morning breeze. Her lace had grown haggard, and her eyes shone with a strange unnatural lustre, hich gave to her whole eonatenuice a cer tain wild expression, such as it had never worn till now. She did not ask liim whither they were journeying—she did not ask him a single question she was too heavy hearted to utter a syllable besides which, her thoughts were full of him who had received her—full of guilty Sir Basil Dovetree. Suddenly Gertrude's horse halted, and refused to move a step further, kicking and plunging every time the Creole struck him with the whip. "He has something in his foot," War rington observed. "It will lie almost useless to urge a beast In sueli a con dition nevertheless, he must be made to walk along. I shall be able to man age liim better than you will so alight, iiiid I will remove your saddle to my liorse, and mine to yours." This being done, Gertrude mounted her companion's steed, be hers and once more they proceeded along, very slowly this time, the lame animal stout ly refusing to move more than a step at. a time. Warrington chafe4 considerably at this unavoidable delay but all his chaf ing availed him nothing—it only ren dered bad matters worse. Turning the corner of a road, they came suddenly in sight of alone horse man, galloping at full speed, every mo ment bringing him nearer and nearer to themselves. Warrington, busy with his limping steed, took no heed of the advancing horseman but Gertrude, attracted by something familiar in his bearing, kept her gaze tixed upon him. 1'iv.scntly Warrington looked up, and uttered an exclamation of surprise. Sir liasil Dovetree, pale with rage, con fronted him. "Miscreant!" cried the young baronet, drawing forth a pistol and. presenting it at the creole. "At length I have overtaken you, madam," he continued, satirically addressing Gertrude, with out withdrawing his eyes from War rington. "I 11111 sorry to iuicrrupt you on your journey but I have /in account to settle with your amiable companion here, whom 1 cannot suffer to go hence uutil he has received his due in full. 1'ou shall botli die—for yqu have, both of you, deceived and wronged me!" And with these words. Sir Basil fired but his arm was suddenly thrown'up, and his bullet only penetrated the bark of a tree hard by. Gertrude was on his breast. "Fly, Basil!" she cried—"let us fly togetliet! This man1'—pointing to Warrington— "is striving to destroy us both!' lie lias threatened to Oh, heaven! I dare not repeat what ho has threatened to do. But hoed him not I wilt oliug tq you tlirough everything. Let us liy, Basil—let us fly from him for ever!" "Begone!" returned he, thrusting her from him, and looking at her disdain fully. "I have nothing to say to one so cunning and false as you it is with j.otir companion that I must parley." "But lie is your enemy, Baal." "I know as much." Diiving tlie atwve words, Warring ton was sitting on his horse, apparently quite calm. His swarthy visage be trayed no emotion whatever, although his heart, from fear, had considerably quickened its pulsations. "Sow speak, thou poltroon—tlion .Tudas, thou fiend in mortal shape!" furiously said Sir Basil Dovetree, ap proaching close jto the Creole, who still sat erect in his saddle, prepared for all the baronet had to say. "I have my sword—you have yoiifs, Peliiaiu Warlrngton, and the road is an unfrequented one our weapons shall settle this matter between us." The»crcole alighted. "1 give you warning that I shall dis arm you at oiice," he said, with the utmost coolness. "You havo neither muscle nor skill to oppose against mine. You have never before fought for your life 1 have, and have saved it over and over again for my wrist is a wrist of iron strength, insensible to fatigue, which, even though it had to wield a giant's axe for hours and hours, would not give way a single second." Gertrude shuddered at the Creole's words. Site was fearing the issue of (lie projected combat. Sir Basil had already alighted, BO, also, had Warrington and both were preparing themselves for the light. ueliityd it clump of trees, which en tirely corijcaicd' Upe'iq froiq tbe high road, tlie two men drew (heir swords', a lid began to lunge aft one another. The A •. young baronet fought with desparation but Warrington now merely parried his thrusts, thinking that Sir Basil would Boon exhaust himself, and then be easily overcome?- But •WasMhgton miscalculated his adversary's strength, which proved to be prodigious. Sir Basil, likewise, displayed more skill than the creole had reckoned on and It was with the utmost difficulty that he protected his breast from the flashing steel that was glancing here and there, quick as liglituing. In a state of suspense beyond descrip tion,.. Gertrude was sitting on her horse, with the reins of the other horses iu her hands, listening to the clashing weapons, awaiting the Issue of the terrible encounter. She felt that It was a conflict which must end fatally for one or the other, and she trembled for tlie safety of him she loved so dearly. Yes, despite her knowledge of tlie dreadful deed he had commuted—de spite the great wrong he had done to herself—she still entertained for him a most profound devotion—a feeling which neither time nor circumstauces would ever chaugc. Presently the nietalic sounds eeascd, and Sir Basil emerged from behind the trees, and stood before Gertrude, who received him with a cry expressive of both joy and terror—joy, at his safety terror, at the -sight of his crimson stained sword. "Great lietiven!" she exclaimed, shud dering. and averting her head. "Oh, Basil, ha-ve you killed him 7" He did not answer her, but at once sprung ujiou his horse. "Basil, Basil!" cried she "what are you golug to do? Leave me not here, I entreat you!" "You can go hence—hither or thither, at your own pleasure!" he ausVerai In a cold tone. "I am surely nothing to you now!" "Nothing!" she repeated, almost be side herself with excitement and grief. "Oh, say not so, Basil! You are all the world to me!" "Gertrude!" he returned, In great sur prise. "I am all the world to you who were deserting me!" "Yes, yes—I repeat It! Earth con tains In it nothlug more precious to hie than your own dear self! 1 fled from you in order to preserve you!" she an- Sir Basil's Encounter with the Fa KettvcM. swered, with a sudden burst of hysteric tears." "Draw your sword again from its scabbard, Basil, and let it drink my heart's current, rather than leave me here, despised and forgotten by you!" The young baronet looked at her, un able to believe Ills senses. "Basil," she continued, her voice full of heart-felt anguish, her hands ex tended towards him imploringly, "I know all, yet I ask you to suffer me to share my life with you." Sir Basil's face flushed and paled al ternatively, and his limbs trembled be neath him. "I do not comprehend you," he re sponded. touching his steed. "I.et nu accompany you, and as we journey along I will tell you everything —making plain to you matters which now appear as if enveloped In a cloud!" He hesitated for a few seconds, as if doubtful how to act then lie put spurs to his horse, and bade her fol low liim. In an apartment at Eagle Tower, a few days after the events above re corded, an act of atonement was being enacted. Sir Basil was sitting up in bed, propped by pillows Gertrude was by his side, and a man, In holy orders, hi an Impressive voice, was reading the marriage ceremony. There was place there wu Borala, iWaorrow. His jMikMwldow moat aWwawli: bat 110 mockery this time the solemn rite was being performed by one of known In tegrity, one of high standing In the church. But he was thus vowing to love, cher ish and protect the woman by his side was a dying man. Yes, Sir Basil Dove tree was slowly fading away. A gal loping consumption which had no doubt been brought on by undue ixcitcment, and by grief and horror at the awful crime ho had committed, was rapidly extinguishing his unhappy life, Gertrude had explained everything to him wherefore she had been forced to abandon lier home anil accompany tho creole how she had escapcd out of lils power, and returned to Eagle Tower, only to fall Into his wicked hands again. Sir Basil's head was bowed in re pentance and sincore sorrow 'or all he l:ad done. The evil tempter was no longer by his side, and he was a chang ed man. He dismissed his riotous guests, resolving to lead anew life for the future, to make all the amends he could make for the terrible and guilty prist. But of a sudden a striage sick ness seized liim, and utterly prostrated him and lie begai to feel that his earthly existence was fast drawing to a close. He did not regret that it was so, fer he was willing to qtt'.t tlie -vorld —willing to do, but. oh! not ready yet. Gertrude watcliod by Ills sick couch botl. by day and l».v night, never woaiy of watching there ever near to console nnd comfort hint ever near to minister to all his wants, to whisper hopeful words In his ear. and to lead his thoughts to prayer. She never once reminded him of his- sins-she knew that he remembered them all full well but she spoke of our Father who Is in lieaven, of His mcrcy to all those who thoroughly repented of their pvil ways and Sir Basil Dovetree listened to her words, and his soul raised its cry to heaven, Utreatlng His forgive? ness. "Xow, indeed, you are my wife, Ger trude!" She did not answer him by words, but her soft hatid clasped his, and her round, youthful cheek laid itself close to his, as gently, as trustingly, and as fondly ns ever. The next day Sir Basil was considera bly worse, nnd the doctors shook their heads, and looked compassionately at the young wife, whose attention and devotion towards her suffering husband remained wholly untlrcd. "My peace Is made then, Gertrude!" said he, pointing to above. "I am not afraid to die my faith is too strong in lieaven to admit of any dread. I am sorry," he continued—"! atn very sovi-y that my sinful hand was the myitis o'f wilding Warrington unprepared—villi all liis niaiiy sins upon liix lie-nl—into (ho presence tif his Maker.

A New Httkei si DMlllf With th* MIHM, la Cities, Washing air ot its impurities by pass ing It through water scheeus or through chambers Into which water Is profusely sprayed, Is a well known and much used process In heating.and ventilating practice. Its merits were conclusively demonstrated years ago, and ever since advantage has been taken of them In large ventilating installations in whlah tlielr expense was .warranted, nnd where a smoky and an uitclean outside atmosphere suggested the desirability of submitting the air to some cleansing process before allowing it to pass into buildings. It is not surprising, there-' fore, tliat somewhat analogous meth od should have suggested Itself as of likely service In dealing with the now so much discussed smoke problem, and that It should have been tried with en couraging results. At any rate, a news paper paragraph^now going the rounds, tells of its application by an English factory owner, whose repeated conflicts with tbe local smok&prdtn.in :e prompt ed experiments in this direction, and apparently with perfect satisfaction. According to the published description, somewhat indefinite, perhaps, in a few respects, the apparatus used-by him consists of a large caat-irjn tank. In which is a slotted barrel, which is'filled with perforated heaters, and the tank Is partly filled with water. The smoke Is'drawii Into the barrel from the ma chinery by a powerful fan, and under goes a scrubbing process. The barrel rotates veiry rapidly, churning up the smoke with the water. On the top of the barrel are several semi-circular trays or sieves, which are perforated, and effect tho purpose of further wash ing the smoke. The smoke,which es capes from the beaters is caught again by these sieves and dashed down again by a very fine spray of water from the beaters. The back sludge of solid mat ter is forced to the top of tbe chamber and thrown over into a chute, which conveys: It to a wooden tank. The smoke which finally escapes from the machine is said to be comparatively li offensive, and there Is certainly good reason to believe that this should be so. It Is Interesting to note, moreover, thiit the use of the apparatus dojs not end with the cleansing ot the smoke. The black deposit gathered by It is taken off in barrels to be used In the making of paint and printing ink, yield ing'an acceptable revenue instead of polluting the atmosphere, and the re maining liquid is said to have proved Itself a most valuable disinfectant. Thus a two-fold purpose is accomplish ed, either one of which would seem to be quite sufficient to commend tlie pro cess to manufacturing communities in which smoke suppression Is alive topic* —Cassler's Magazine.

Collectors- of water colors will do well to take note of some experiments made in England on the action of light in the weakening and dispersion of tho coloring matter in pictures. It was found that the sulphides, cadmium, trisulpliidc of arsenic and Indigo are prone to fade from oxidation, due to humidity, air and light. Of these cnl mlum is especially sensitive to the in fluence of moisture, and will fade in a fortnight in damp air trisulpliidc of arsenic is also seriously affected by damp air but indigo, while suffering from moisture,'shows no signs of de terioration when exposed to dry air or an atmosphere of carbonic ncld.

S^/THCTrU took its place in the ordinary, street traffic, accommo dating its pace to a nicety, coming al most to a standstill in the Newgate street block and at other congested corners, and availing itself of -the clear run which Moorgate street afforded to Increase its speed to the maximum per mitted by the police regulations.' The steering was admirably managed, and the elcctrical van generally had the advantage in finding its way quickest out of a tangle of 'busses, carts, cabs and conveyances of every description. Within the van six people traveled with perfect confidence, and wood, asphalt and granite pavements made no ap preciable difference to its progress. It may be explained that the Interior ot tlie vail is left free for goods for the motors, which are geared to the wheels, are placed beneath the driver's seat. The electricity is derived from thirty six cells, which are carried under the body In a special box, and so arranged that they may be changed in two min utes when the accumulators are ex hausted. With his left hand the driver by means of a single switch regulates the speed of the van, which, If neces sary, may bo as high as fifteen miles an hour. The right hand is free to turn a steering wheel, which is provided with a pointer, indicating tlie direction in which the vehicle is going. As the steering gear has ball bearings the con veyance is under perfect control with a minimum of effort. It Is calculated that the cost of working such a van, which would require two horses, is 4 cents per mile if electricity be used and each charge gives about thirty miles' traveling.

Sewer Air Polsonlnsr- Recent Investigations of the air of (he London sewers have revealed the fiact. that there Is a poisonous emana tion from sewers which may be as In jurious to health as the bacteria to which it has been customary to ascribe all ill effects. The most noticeable pro ductions of sewer gas poisoning are neplu-ltls and albuminuria. Cold and chill are usually held responsible for these affections, but it would appear that they may be caused entirely by sewer air. It Is suspected that the seiwer gas contains a volatile poison, the examination nnd classification of which must be left to future Investi gators. It is more than likely that the question of'sewer poisoning and drains will become the problem of the chemist instead of, as lately, the bacteriologist. Iu all probability the unknown sub stance is an organic nitrogen com pound allied to hydrazine, which is known to have a powerful toxic action, so that it would not be difficult to de vise experiments toward clearing up the point A Mfan Boycott.

DOOM OF THE BATH TUB. Afclatta* mt th* htaN Wilt hr Mala sM ahower Baths. dwelling house of the fatar* constructed on scientific apd hygienlo principles, will be bathtublesa.. The ponselaln-llned and zinc-lined and tln lined tuba of to-day will be unknown. Their places will be taken by a tiled room in which will be arranged ahower or 'rain baths at vnrloua anglea. These douchea will supply hot, cold or tepid water at the pleasure of the bather, nnd the liquid will be carried off as fast as It is used by a spacious drain pipe. The Idea Is not a new one, but It Is a good one, and-wherever It has been adopted the result has been grat IfylPS- There are three houses in Lon don, recently completed, supplied with this method of bathing, and there Is said to be one In Philadelphia. It is not known whether die innovation has been made in New Yorkt-that Is, whether there is any private dwellings fitted up with shower baths. There are several fashionable houses ou Mad ison and Fifth avenues 'that have both, but It Is doubtful If there Is any where the tub has been abandoned altogether. It Is claimed for the rain bath that It Is in every way superior to the method wo have known since civilization be gan, nnd this has been proven in many public Institutions. The first one ever built la America was put in the New York Juvenile asylum. Tlie Demilt dispensary has them, and so has the bathing establishment erected by the trustees of the Baron Hlrsch fund at Henry and Market streets. One of the largest rain baths in the country is now in course of construction In the state hospital for the insane nt Utica, nnd it Is predicted that within a very few years all prisons and hospitals will have adopted tlie system. The most enthusiastic advocate of tlie ruin bath is William Paul Gerhard, who has made a study of its advan tages. In the first place, he says that it requires less space in the planning of a bath house, it consumes less time in application, the body of the bath does not come in contact with solid water, the mechanical and tonic effects of the descending stream is unquestlon able, nnd»clennsiug and stimulating ef fccts arc greater than a bath tub, less water is required an'1 no time is lost In waiting for the filling of a tub in houses where the supply is slow. These are a few of the reasons advanced, and Mr. Gerhard bases an elaborate .mv. LClUlUlut., the physical characteristic. On ui« other hand, womanliness will mean divination of mysteries not seen by sight, nor apprehended by reason, but conveyed to woman, instinctively, by her closer contact with tlie most sacred aud occult operations of nature, and reacting from her upon man in the form of an ethereal stimulant to finer endeavor, a vague, high promise of divine rewards. This is tlie spiritual characteristic. Tlie Latin is, to both this physical and this spiritual char acteristic of womanliness, more sensi tive than the Anglo-Saxon. Wherefore it happens tlint he respects women both less and more than tlie Anglo Saxon. The notion of womanliness of the Englishman, tlie American, is more neutral, has less of either extreme. The element of allurement, of charm, docs not count so much for him— whereby it chances that, from certain aspects, his civilization is the cleaner. The spiritual characteristic predomin ates over tlie physical in his Ideal. The womanly woman is the good mother, the devoted wife, the gentle sister, the quiet guardian of the hearth-fire. Yet she is not so much tho holder of those u.ysteries of which ive rioke, and thus tier positiou, while never so low, per haps, as it is possible for it to become with the Latin peoples, Is never, either, ,ln some sense, so high.—Aline Garren in Scribner. A Girl's Heroism. A correspondent of the London Daily News gives tho following story: The Hamldio Kurds fell on Herfev, an Ar menian village, and asked that the beautiful daughter of tbe priest be de livered to them. The girl, hearing that the villagers really intended to deliver her to them. In order to get rid of their barbarities,'hid herself and at night succeeded in making her way, with her brother, toward Russian territory. When the ~urds heard of this eaoape tlicy followed them, and overtook them in the mountains. The brother and sister defended themselves from behind a rock until they had fired all their cartridges but two. The sister then threw herself Into the arms of her brother, and begged him to shoot her with one of the cartridges, so that she might not fall into the hands of the Kurds, nor see the death of her brother, and that with the second he should de liver himself also from the hands of the Kurds. This was done. The sister was killed, but the brother was taken half dead and delivered to the Turkish aur thorities, nnd is now in prison. Mjrlada of Croiri nt Nlasrars. An interesting sight was witnessed by I he visitors at Niagara Falls recently, it was the annual migration of crows toward the South. This usually occurs in early winter, but this year, for some unknown reason, it did not occur until March 1. The crows passed southward by the million, and for two days the air was black with them and the noise of their cawing almost deafening. When they got to the falls they lit In large numbers on the Ice bridge and set up a wild cawing. The sound echoed against the walls of tlie gorge and made a tremendous noise. When they were rested they arose, with aloud whirring of wings, and continued their fllgnt. Many flew Into the falls and were drowned.—Detroit Free Press. London's If 11 ICC I Hue Steel.

One Girl Bad Bssn ftaakt Bow t* Oat V* an OB. "Tea, I've taken a course at cooking school," said the girl to a N«w Yotk 8un reporter, "and It waa better than a doaen matlneea. Nice lot of girls in my class, 'boat a doaen, and tto first day, when we were told to scrubjjlahea and waahatabte, I wondered why they wore taking cooking lessons. I waa In terested In them. Then I began to study them. I discovered that cadi gitl wore an engagement ring, with tbe stone tamed In. Now, wasn't that funny But it really wasn't when you come to think of it, for It explained their reason for taking cooking lesaons, you know.. Not one ot the girls knew a thing about cooking, and aa each of them was looking forward to getting married, she wanted to know enough to govern her cook. One of the girls had heard her brother talking about the number of toblea he had the night before. She asked him what a toby was, and he told her It was a small steak and very popular with men. Well, that girl wanted the teacher to show her how to cook a toby the first thing. Wasn't she an innocent, though? After some-lectures and experiments each girl was told to cook something nt home nnd bring it to school." I had to cook a fish whole. Polly cooked it for me very nicely and put It in a box so that I could carry it But, say, I dropped the box, and when I showed the fish to the class it was all broken up. So was I. But cooking school is^good fun. What did 1 learn? Now you will laugh when I tell you, but I really did learn one thing. I know how to cut up an ox. So, there! Tlie Cle?e»eai the Freack. The Frenchman is a clever person, and never was that cleverness better Il lustrated than in the story told of Lespes, the French Journalist, better Vrx-wn ns "Tlmotheo Trlmm." One day while at work he was disagreeably in truded on by a creditor, who announc ed his Intention of not departing until was paid. Parley proved useless the creditor planted himself on a cbalr, and Lespes beheld him, with consterna tion, draw bread and cheese from Us pockets, as though to fortify himself agaicst events. Several hours glided by Lespes had resumed his writing and finished an article. The creditor showed no signs of moving, and, from the glances which he cast at a sofa, was evidently speculating what Und of a bed it would make. Suddenly Lesprs rose, and with bits of newspaner began carefully blocking all the apertures which air could come Into the room. He then made preparations for light ing a charcoal fire but before applying the match, pasted on the wall Just op posite the creditor's eyes a paper thus laconically worded: "Take notice that we died of our own will." "What arc you doing?" exclaimed the creditor, quite uneasily. "Your society would render life intol erable, so we are going to commit sui cide together," answered Tlmothee, tranqnllly. It Is almost needless to say that the creditor decamped. Malt Spronts. A good many farmers will not feed malt sprouts because they make the butter of inferior quality, although they increase the yield of milk. There Is a vast difference in malt sprouts and only the best should be fed. When they are ctf good quality there is no great objec tion to their use. Properly combined with other foods, it will make a good ration. This is particularly true when they are fed to young animals, as they produce growth of bone and frame. It is a food largely composed of nitrogen ous elements, and can be well combined with corn and ensilage, corn fodder, etc. Why Bis Watch Wonldm't Go.
