A marvel of engineering is this new monorail line,' s u spended in midair, between Elberfield and Barmen, Germany. The tracks of this railroad have their roadbed in the air, suspended by very wide inverted V-shaped steel girders. The train is operated by electricity, its truck wheels running along this single track. An alarming rate of speed Is attained by the train. American tourists visiting this section of the country find great pleasure in riding on this line, which winds its way along the Wupper river.

Genuine diamonds can best be recognized by their hardness and high reflective power. The dia mond stays brilliant because it is hard and imitations become scratch ed and dulled by friction. For an experienced eye it is not difficult to decide from the appearance of the faces whether a stone is genuine or not for those of real diamonds are seldom so regular as those of fine imi tations. With tfie latter the greatest care is taken, in Grinding, to smooth and polish not only the faces, but also the whole form into such a shape as to avoid differences in the reflec tion, refraction and scattering of the rays. Ln the grinding and polishing of real brilliants, on the other hand, effort la made to keep the original size as near ly as possible, and some little irregu larities in the faces and angles are pre ferred to any diminution In weight. In the Imitations the superfluity of cheap material which may be wasted with out making any difference enables a perfect counterfeit to be made. A necessary tool for testing Is the file, which Is not able to Injure or scratch a real diamond, while on an Imitation It quickly makes Its mark. Better than the file Is a fragment of sapphire, because the sapphire Is the next hardest stone to the diamond. Any stone that can be scratched with a sapphire Is surely no diamond. If a small drop of water Is placed oe the upper face of a brUHest end traeft ed with a pointed pencil, the drop will keep its rounded form, while the stone remains clean and dry. If the same Is done to a glass imitation, the drop spreads out at once A diamond plunged into water will be plainly vis ible and will glitter through the liquid, while an Imitation stone Is almost Invisible If a person looks through a dia mond, as through a bit of glass, at a black dot on a sheet of white paper, one single point will be seen clearly If several points appear, or a blur is seen. It Is an Imitation. The white sapphire, the white topax, and rock crystal are commonly sold as diamonds, but more often Imitations are made of glass. To recognise these glass Imitations, treatment with acids Is also recommended, which remove the polish on the faces, while It does not affect the diamond, ruby, sapphire or emerald. However, an Imitation made of glass yields to the hardness test, so that a chemical test Is super fluoua MUSHROOMS IN QUARRIES In France, mushrooms are cultivated In subterranean quarries at a depth of 60 to 200 feet from the earth's sur face. These quarries have been found extremely profitable In this connec tion, owing partly to their equable temperature and their freedom from draughts, provision being made, how ever, for their proper ventilation. The beds are formed of manure, covered with about an Inch of One, white, stony soil, In which the spawn or mycelium U introduced St • depth S? a few inches, and hi *■**• etffht tl ten Inches apart. The length of the beds Is variable, and In general they are approximately 20 to 25 Inches wide and of the same height. ANOTHER LEANING TOWER Pisa Is not the only place to pos sess a leaning tower. At Etampes. France, there Is one which dates back to the sixteenth century. Recently It was thought that this tower was loaning too much, and an expert In vestigation was ordered. The ex perts have come to the conclusion that the position of the tower has not al tered by a millimeter during the, past three centuries. Cardinal Richelieu had the tower examined In 1639, and a comparison of the figures then ar rived at with those of the present ex perts shows no difference that can be measured by scientific Instru ments. J The forests in British Columbia are a part of the few great bodies of com mercial timber not yet materially re duced by destructive lumbermen, and, with the exception of Siberia. Brazil, and the Northwestern United States, the timber wealth of British Colum bia is unparalleled in any other coun try, since it contains not less than 100,000,000 acres of forest land At the present rate of cutting, making no allowance for annual growth, It would take nearly 250 years to use up merely the mature timber now stand ing; the annual growth of the forests In even now, though they are not yet adequately protected against Are and waste, not less than five times the present annual cutting. There Is, however, need for a prudent policy of forest realization and protection, In cluding the formation of forest re serves In such areas as are unsuited for agricultural use. COPIED FROM SPIDER WEB The women of the republic ef Para guay, South America, are famed for their skill In lace making. The design of the handkerchief here Illustrated la adapted from the webs spun In the trees by certain spiders of that coun try. Grape Wine. Pick the grapes from the stems, wash and drain thoroughly, and to four quarts of grapes put three pounds of brown sugar and put In a jug or cask. I prefer the jug, as I have better luck with It. Let it remain until next March, then draw off the wine and bottle, and \to every gallon of juice drawn off put one quart of water Into the grapes, with three-quarters of a pound of sugar for another drawing of xajne. Let the last remain until fall, then draw off. Remember the first in Mwah, the eeoaed la September. Don't crush the grapes, but make with grapes whole. The longer you keep the wine after bottled the better It la. I shook mine well so the jugs were full.—Boston Globe. Salmon Hash. One can salmon, flaked coarse; one cupful rolled cracker crumbs; one cupful milk. Have the skillet hot. place two tablespoonfuls butter; when melt ed put In cracker crumbs, stir, then the flaked salmon, stir these together, season well with pepper, salt and a dash of cayenne and then mix one- quarter teaspoonful of dry mustard with the oil that was on the salmon, and stir in the mixture. When the whole Is thoroughly heated through and thick it Is ready to serve. This makes an excellent dish to prepare on abort notice, and Is surely a hungry man's delight. Visitors Will Generally Do It, Good Impression Is Worth the Taking of Pains. Whether shd wishes it or cot, the house will have something to tell about its mistress, so it seems worth while to pause a moment and consider how best to make it say the things we would like spoken. Shall we think of a few houses we know, and see if they haven't some rather helpful lessons to teach us? You see. if we just manage to Identify our mistakes, given the will to do our level best with the home, it's quite a simple matter to achieve success in this direction. There Is the house where tables and chairs seem riveted into position, where the little book hi its delicate binding laid aslant on the side table In ■the drawing room rests always exactly aUthe same angle, and one is afraid to lower a blind for fear of disar ranging the window curtains. A pretty room, certainly, but I am scarcely surprised when I notice that the visitors on at home afternoons sit rather near their chair edges and don’t look altogether at ease. Orderliness Is an excellent thing, but don't aim at a formal and lifeless symmetry. Choose cushion covers that will wash, or of an artistic tap estry. Then, if you want to keep your case ment curtains fresh and immaculately creaseless have long side curtains which may be drawn across the win dow without disturbing the short blinds. They look so pretty, whether in light fabric with a richly colored applique insertion, or in a darker shade with a strip of light trimming a little way from the edge. Fix a brass rod across your flat window or round your bay, and then these curtains, drawn well to the side at other times, may be brought over the windows at night or when the sun is too strong. Peach-Colored Crepe. A novel little frock in a rather heavyweight crepe in the new and beautiful peach color Is shown here. In this the blouse of the plain crepe is gathered into a bib of black satin which is a continuation of the girdle. The opening above this Is filled with white lawn and a band of embroidery In oriental shade. The cuffs and roll ing collar are of the black satin. This gown has the long tunic combined with the panier draping of the mate rial hung over a plain underskirt of the crepe. The tunic Is trimmed In bands of heavy cream lace. With this Is worn a hat of peach-colored straw trimmed with black wings. FASHION’S FADS Some of the new suite have coats with high necks. Fashionable trains are mere scarf ends that look precisely like scarfs when thrown over the arm for danc ing. Fancy fllet meshes are the most fashionable veilings. Plaited dresses are among the best for young girls. Black lace over white Is smart, even for young girls. Plaid silk Is made up with plain satin for the new waists. The brilliant shades are not In good taste for fall. Any amount of velvet will be used the coming winter. The fashions for 1914 strongly em phasize military lines. Crystal fringe Is a favorite trim ming for evening powns. Zibelline Is being used for winter coats. Full circular skirts are hinted at. The majority of sleeves are long. A few of the tailored costumes are fashioned of rather large checked black and white materials. For Glove Button. When a glove button will not stay fastened, or, as sometimes happens, the bottom par* of the button puHs off, try this: Take an ordinary placket fastener and sew on a little to one side of the glove button, which to left On for appearance sake.
