Some Facts about the Dome of Our
National Capitol.

The dome of the Capitol az Washington
is the most ambitious structure in America
1t is one hundred and eight feet higher than
the Washington Monument at Baltimore,
sixty.eight feet higher than that of Bunker
Hill, and twenty.three feet higher than the
Trinity Church tower of New York. 1t is
the only considerable dome of iron in the
world. 1t is vast hollow sphere of iron
weighing 5000, 200 pounds. How much is
that? More than 1000 tons, or about the
weight of TO- 600 full grown people, or about
equal to 1000 laden coal cars, which holding
four tons apiece, would reach two miles and
half. Directly over your head is figure
in bronze, "America,n weighing 1886
pounds. The pressure of the iron dome
upon its piers and pillars is Is, All pounds to
the square foot. st. Peter presses nearly
10000 pounds more to the square foot, and
st. Genevieve, at Paris, &C, 600 pounds more.
It would require to crush the supports of
our dome a pressure of 755, 2s0 pounds to
the square foot. The cost was about 81, l00,-
600. The new wings cost about Sc 500, GOO.
The architect has plan for rebuilding the
old central part of the Capitol and enlarg.
ing the park, which will cost about S,20O,.

man passed through this city who had
been made q perfect curiosity by lightning.
His story is that about week previous he
was driving along in covered wagon
through Southern Iowa when thunder
storm came up. To prevent the rain from
coming into the front end of the wagon he
held up piece of oilcloth. This the light
ming struck, posing down his left arm, and
tearing out large portion Of the muscle.
1t then passed down his body, burning its
course along his skin to the left side of his
abdomen, where ii burned considerable
hole and divided, one branch running down
his left leg, taking with it considerable
portion of the calf of his leg, and the other
down the right, burning his thigh pretty
severely, and ended with tearing the soles
off Of both his boots, and passing through
the wagon body. partly melting the king
bolt. A knife in his pocket was melted by
the extreme heat. Strange 10 say, the gen.
tleman was not SO severely injuted but that
he was able to pursue his journey, and
passed through here on his way to new
home in southern Missouri,-S. Joseph

Hin, ,or rrnue,ar.-

A we'll known German traveller, F. jaeger,
in his Sketches Of Travel in Singapore,
Malacca, Java" Berlin, 1860, describes the
powder of the Pyreth1'un1 r0selt1ll. as a a spe-
cifC against all noxious insects, including
the troublesome mosquitoes, and those
which attack collections. He says: "A
tincture prepared by macerating one part of
the PyrettrQH1 rOSeunl in four parts of dilute
alcohol, and when diluted with ten times its
bulk Of water, applied to any part of the
the body gives perfect security against all
vermin. l often passed the night in my
boat on the illreputed rivers of siam with
out auy other cover, even without the net
ting, and experienced not the slightest in
convenience. The buzZing' at other times
so great disturber of sleep, becomes a harm
less tune, and in the feeling of security a
real cradle song. In the chase, moistening
the beard and hands protects the
hunter against flies for at least
twelve hours, even in spite of the largely
increased Transportation due to the climate.
Especially interesting is its action on that
plague of all tropical countries, the count
less ants. Before the windows and sur
rounding the whole house where / lived at
Albay, on Luzon, was fastened board six
inches in width, on which long caravans OF
ants were constantly moving in all direc-
tions, making it appear an almost uniformly
black surface. A track of the powder sew
eral inches in width strewed across the
board, or some tincture sprinkled over it,
proved an insurmountable barrier to these
professions. The first who halted before it
were pushed on by the crowds behind them
but Immediately on passing over showed
symptoms of narcosis and died in a minnie
or two and within a short time the rest
left the house altogether. - British Ned
