A marvel of engineering is this new monorail line,* suspended in midair, between Elberfield and Barmen, Germany. The tracks of this railroad havs 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.

The Public
is a Newspaper that aims to be right rather than sensational; that givet, in concise and plain t$tm», all the news that will live.
JUDGE BEN B. UNDSAY, Danrer, Colo., uyt: "THE PUBLIC is on* ol Ih* Tcry best •bimt canlributioa* to cunant eventt—political end economic—to be found in thii country,"
THE PUBLIC is an Editorial paper that puts all public question* to the supreme teit of obviou* moral principles and stands by the results.
RT, REV. CHARLES D. WILUAMS, Detroit. Mich., uyt: "The PUBLIC'S editorials «. hibit ¦ keen, clear end straight thinking which is in marked contrast with the muddled aver- •se editorial in Iho averac* newspaper."
While THE PUBLIC'S editorial policy is as broard as fundamental democra cy itself, its editorial* and special article frequently deal witb^[taxationJ^be- cause taxation is the taproot of democratic government.

Can you trll a real diamond from an imitation? (knuine diamonds can beat be recognized by their hardness and liigh r(^llective power. Thii dia¬ mond stays brilliant because it ia hard and imitations become sK-ratch- cd and dulleil by friction. For an experienced eye it is not diflicult to decide from the ajipearanoe of the faces whether a stone is fienulne 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 smooti 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 tbe grinding and polishing of real brilliants, on tbe other hand, effort is made to keep the original size as near¬ ly as possible, and aome 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 am 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 om tbe upper fac* of • teUMaat aad Mod^ ed with a pointed pencil, the drop will keep its rounded form, while the stone remnins 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 clearty If several points apfiear, or a blur is seen, it la an Imitation.
The white sapphire, the white topas, and rock crystal are commonly sold aa diamonds, but more often Imitations are made ot glass. To recognise these glass Imitations, treatment witb acids ts also recommended, whieh 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 teat, so that a chemical test la super^ fluoni.
MUSHROOMS IN QUARRIES
In France, mushrooms are cultivated In sabterranean quarries at a depth of 60 to 200 feet from the earth's sui^ faee. These quarries have been found extremely profitable la this connec¬ tion, owing partly to their equable temperature and their freedom from draughts, provision being made, how¬ ever, tor their proper ventilation. The beds are formed of manure, covered with about an inch of fine, white, stony soil. In which the spawn or mycelium is latrodaeei at • Aifli tf a few Inches, moA M nmm tf^ft H ten Inches apart. The length of the beds is variable, and In general they are approximately 20 to 25 Inches wide aud of the Fame height
ANOTHER LEANING TOWER
Pisa Is not the only place to pos¬ sess a leaning tower. At Etampes, France, there is one which dates bnck to the sixteenth century. Recently it was thought that this tower was loaning too much, and an expert in¬ vestigation was ordered. The ex parts have come to the conclusion that the position of tho tower has not al¬ tered by a mllltmeter dorlng the, past three centuries. Cardinal Richelieu had tbe tower examiued in 1639, and a comparison of the figures then ar¬ rived at with tbose of the present ex¬ perts shows no difference that can be measured by scientific tnatrn- ments. .

The forests in I'.ritish (.'oluinbia are a part of the few Kreat bodies of com¬ mercial timber not yet materially re¬ duced by destructive lumbermen, and, with the exception of Siberia. Hrazil, and the NorthweFtern United States, the timber wealth of RritlsU 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 2.50 years to use up merely tho mature tlmher now stanA- ing; the annual growth of the forests In even now, though they are not yet adequately protected against flre and waste, not less than flve 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.
Visitors Will Generally Do It. So a
Good Impression Is Worth the
Taking of Pains.
Whether sho wishes it or rot, the house will iiave something to tell about Its mistress, so it seems worth while to pauEe 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 wliere tables and chairs seem riveted into position, where the little book tn its delicate binding laid aslant on the side table in the drawing room rests always exactly at the same angle, and one Is afraid to lower a blind for fear of disar¬ ranging the window curtains. A pretty room, certainly, but I ara 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 lipht fabric with a richly colored applique Insertion, or in a darker Fliade with a strip of li^ht trimming a little way from the edsre. Fix n brass r«d across your fiat window or round your bay, and then these curtains, drawn well to the ride at other times, may be brought over the windows at night or when the sun is too strong.
Peach-Colored Crepe.
COPIED FROM SPIDER WEB
The women of the republic el Para¬ guay, South America, are famed for their skill in lace making. The design ot the handkerchief here Illustrated is adapted from the webs spun in the trees by certain spiders of that coun- trr.
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 Marcb, 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 Tvine. Let the last remain until fait, then 4raw off. Remember the flrst in Mwfc. tha Muiai la Bmytmmhar. Ooat crush the grapes, but make with grapes whole. The longer you keep the wine after bottled the better it Is. I shook mine well so tbe jugs were full.—Boston Globe.
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 fllled 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 panler draping of tbe mate¬ rial hung over a plain underskirt of the crepe. The tunic ts trimmed in bands ot heavy cream lace. With thia la worn a bat of peach-colored straw trimmed with black wings.
Salmon Hash. One can salmon, llaked coarse; one cupful rolled cracker crumbs; one cupful milk. Have the skillet hot, place two tablespoonfuls butter; wben 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 tbat was on tbe salmon, and stir tn the mixture. When the whole is thoroughly heated through and thick it is ready to serve. Tbis makes an excellent dish to prepare on short notice, and Is surely a hungry man's delight
