A '‘SHOWERPROOF” CLOTH.
Germans Treat Ordinary Materials
with Petroleum—Curious Aquatic
Displays in Tailors' Windows.
It has usually been thought
that rubber was about the only
substance which would render
cloth waterproof, although oil silk
is coated with another one, a prep
aration of linseed oil. However,
“showerproof” cloth is known as
that which repels water very
largely and yet remains porous,
appearing in all respects like or
diary wetable cloth. The methods
of treatment of such cloth are
often trade secrets, and even the
patent specifications do not di
vulge all that must be done to
achieve a satisfactory result.
“Petroleum,” a German period
ical, says that the oil to which
that paper owes its name is one of
the most successful showerproof
preparations. It says that the
only reliable shower proof is ob
tained by impregnating the cloth
outside and in with a fine film of
-waxes. Paraffin wax is the staple,
but owing to its low melting point
it is not fit for use alone. The com
position used is so alloyed with
other waxes and chemicals that at
the boiling point of water the wax
stands firm. A rather elaborate
preparatory form must be gone
through, and after the wax has
been applied a finishing process is
required. The interesting fact re
mains that it is petroleum that
keeps out the wet. In tailors’ win
dows in Germany many aquatic
displays have been arranged to
show that cloth can mysteriously
be made to exhibit the power of
the duck’s back. Wool, cotton,
silk, linen, velvets, braids, and
even sails, awnings and tent
cloths are thus wrapped in an in
visible film of rock oil. *
PHYSICAL CONSCIOUSNESS.
The Brain in Certain States of Activ
ity Can Act on the Organic
Functions.
“Cenesthesia” is the name given
to the general feeling we have of
the existence of our own bodies,
says the London Globe. This
sense of existence is chiefly owing
to accidental and local impres
sions awakening or stimulating
the sensibility, but it is completed
by a certain obverse conscious
ness of the exercise of the organic
functions, for example, respira
tion. It is' by this sensation that
the spiritual Ego perceives itself
existing locally in the limited ex
tent of the organism. In perfect
health this feelinc is continuous.
uniform, and equal, and therefore,
not special or local. In order to be
remarked a certain exaltation of
well-being or distinct uneasiness
is required. In the hypnotic state
certain subjects have a more or
less distinct perception of their
internal organs and can exert cer
tain action over them. In fact,
they can modify at will all the
functions of the “vegetative” life,
for instance, the beating of th^
heart. The fact shows that the
brain in certain states of activity
can act on the organic functions.
If there is a nervous current from
the brain to the organs there is
also, perhaps, a contrary current
from the organs to the brain. Dr.
Cromer, Liebault, and • others,
maintain that some hypnotic sub
jects perceive their internal or
gans, g*hd even those of other per
sons with wlfom they are in hyp
notic relations.
Immortelles.
The manufacture of immortelle
wreaths in Paris occupies at least
1,500 persons. The immortelles
are gathered about the beginning
of October, and come chiefly from
the arid hills in the middle and
south of France. They are
brought to the markets in their
natural condition, and the yellow
blossoms are dyed green, red and
white, and woven into wreaths by
special workmen in readiness for
All Saints’ and All Souls’ days,
when all good Parisians visit their
relatives’ graves. On these “fetes
des morts” the gates of the ceme
teries are beset with crowds of
dealers in immortelle wreaths,
wire crosses and bead crowns.
At Pere la Chaise alone more than
200.000 persons are calculated to
visit the cemetery, and the sale of
I immortelle wreaths varies from
20.000 to 25,000.—Golden Penny.

KEYSTONE OF
Kimball Piano
STRUCTURE.
The szale of the Kimball Piano is the keystone of its unsurpassable quality, the founds'
tion of its great musical worth, the cause of its popularity with artists and musicians. Perfect
piano scale-making is a mathematical problem figured out by sound waves to the merest fraction
of a sezond. Not ail piano makers strive for perfection along this line (many making no pre
tense). but out of the few who have nearly reaJhed the goal.
Kimball is Prom inent.
One of the most perfect musical scales is displayed In the zultivated human voice. An
ir. perfect scale piano is like a person who cannot sing correctly—It’s worse because all do not
Jlaim to sing. It costs money to cultivate the voice, it costs more money to perfect a piano
scale. The cost to produce a perfect Kimball scale has been no less than that of oH^r of the
recognized artistic pianos of the world, yet because of the advantages of the largest output
from any factory, we are able to sell the Kimball at a very moderate price, quality considered
