Take seven and a half pounds pure
copper, and melt il in a crucible then

1t is well known that everything ex-

1t is estimated that the accumulated ex-

-Magnesia crucibles are proposed for
obtaining compact steel or iron, free from
the bubbles which are due to the action OF
the carbon on the SILICA of the ordinary
crucibles. Lime crucibles for the same
purpose may be formed within the ordina-
ry clay crucible, by first ramming the lat
ter with plumbago, then turning out the
plumbago to a thin shell, then ramming
with caustic lime and turning the proper
cavity. The use of the plumbago between
the clay and the inner shell is to prevent
the melting of the latter from contact with
the clay in the furnace.

AT the annual meeting of the Swedish
Academy of Science, M. Nordensklold an
announced that discovery of great value
to geological science has been made in the
hill of Nullaberg, in Sweden. A large de-
post of bituminous gneiss, thirty-three
metres in thickness, has been found i'm
bedded in layers of gneiss and mica schist.
1t is composed, in addition to felspar,
quartz and mica, of black substance like
coal, containing carbonated hydrogen--in
fact, real organic substance, formed of
the remains of of plants or animals coeval
with the deposit. He added that there
could be no doubt as to the antiquity and
geological situation of the strata of Nulla-
berg; infiltration was impossible. The in
ference to be deduced was that the crystal
line stratified rocks of Scandinavia were
formed when there existed animated crea-
lures, but at time long anterior to the pc
period when life is supposed to have first
existed on the earth.

How to become a millionaire.

John McDOnough, the millionaire
of New Orleans, has engraved up,
on his tomb a series of maxims ho
had prescribed as the rulo for his
guidance through life, and to which
his success in business is mainly
attributed. They contain SO much
wisdom that we copy them:
RULES FOR THE GUIDANCE OF MY
LIFE, 1904. = Remember always
that labor is one of the conditions
of our existence. Time is gold ;
throw not one minute away, but
place each one to account. Do
unto all men as you would be dono
by. Never put off till tomorrow
what can be done to-day. Never
bid another do what you can do
yourself. Never covet what is not
your own. Never think any mat
ter SO trifling as not to deserve
notice. Never give out that which
does not first come in. Never
spend but TO produce. Let the
greatest order regulate the transac-
tions of your life. Study in your
course of life to do tho greatest
amount of good.
Deprive yourself of nothing
necessary TO your comfort, but live
in an honorable simplicity. La
Dor, then, TO the last moment Of
your existence. Pursue strictly
the above rules, and the Divine
blessing and riches ofevory kind
will flow upon you 10 your hearts
content; but first of all, remember
that tho chief and great duty OF
your liio should be to tend, by all
means in your power, to tho honor
and glory of our Divine Creator.
Tho conclusion to which | ar
rive is, that without temperance
there is no hoalth without virtue
no order; without religion no hap
piness: and that the aim OF oul
being is to live wisely, soberly ant
righteously.

wuZ all a joke. The lists wuz de.
stroyed, and the revolvers ard
shot guns wuz all packed away
At a meetin held itnmejitly, the
fvllerin resolushens wuz passed:
"Resolued, That i: is possible for

fidence in President Johnson, but

"Resoired, That we asked him for

"ReSotued, That a committee NV

difference between Sheridan and
Thomas, and another TO fgger up
wherein we are bcttar off under

"ResOlred, That the President, in

"Resolced, 1 hat if he is ever goin
to do any thing for US why don't
he do it, and"
AT this pint another despatch

read it, and l passt it to the Presi-
dent. Hell! |" said he, "Gentle
sirs, hunt yer holes. Thomas is
sick and won't come, and Sheridan
is goin to stay after all"
Concludin that my offishel duties
prevented me from maxim a longer
stay in Moo Orleans, l hastened
North agin with all speed. Jest ez

They don't do Johnson justice
