Ingredients OF JeweIry.

Very few persons who admire or deal
in precious stones are acquainted with
the intimate structure of these valuable
minerals, and more persons will be as
t0nished to learn that these bodies ap-
paTently so solid and homogeneous, are
often full of minute cavities, which en-
close a liquid. Sapphires generally con-
tain fluid cavities. Sir David Brewster
met with one no less than the third of an
inch long, but other authors have seen
none more than One-tenth of an inch in
diameter. These are usually filled
with a mobile and highly eXpansibIe
liquid, which is considered to be carbon
iC acid. Sapphires are composed OfpUre
llumina, cOlOTed bymetallic oxide. The
ruby is also cOlOred alUmina. Cavities,
we are told are far less numerous in
these than in sapphires, and moreover,
they appear to contain only water or a
saline solution. Occasionally a liquid
with similar characteristics to that OBJ
served in sapphires is to be seen, but
not often; and we are thus led to sup
pose that the stone may be produced by
reactions and under different
conditions. EmeTalds are often
full of cavities which contain a LIQUID

the most interesting of all our preciOus
stones, the origin and mode of formation
Of which has always been a great puzzle
to chemists and mineralOgists. It's struc-
ture has already been studied by Con
pert, who discovered what he conceived
to be organic remains, and hence fnfers
that the diamond is the result of vege-
table decomposition under peculiar con
IitiOns. Sir David Brewster first notic- |
ed fluid cavities in the diamond, and ex-
planned the optical peculiarities of some |
diamonds by their presence.
Cut diamonds sometimes enclose mi
lute crystals of q different mineral, to
which circumstance they also owe in
,art their peculiar optical properties.-t

and it seems, on the whole
hat we may be justified in including
liquid caTbOnic acid among natural Iiq- {
id mineral substances.

steTeOtyPIng Newspapers.

Few persons are aware of the fact that
our principal morning journals are not
printed directly from the type, but from
stereOtypes taken from theregular forms.
The whole time consumed in making
the forms is about twenty minutes. 1t
is accomplished thus: Each page is made
up in a separate form on a table in size
and height expressly adapted for the
purpose; the legs of this table are rolled
into the stereOtyping room. The form
is then removed to the moulding table;
the latter has hollow iron bed, the cav
ity of which is filled with steam, as heat
is one of the requirements in facilitating
operations. After the right tempera-
ture is attained, the form is removed
again to the imposing table, and two or
three sheets of peculiar kind of paper
placed over the first, this is covered
with a blanket, and then slipped under
the press attached to the moulding ia
bic, and the power applied. This is done
almost instantly, when the form is again
run out, and the paper peeled off in
complete matriX of the whole form.
A preparation of French chalk is now
lapplied to the surface of the paper, when
it is placed in a mould, the hot metal
poured against it, and the plate almost
instantly formed. 1t is now moved to
the planer; is cut, routed and justified,
and in a few moments is on its way to
the press room. These plates are cast in
the exact form required for a cylinder
press, and about half an inch in thick
ness.

Another Wonder

Professor Samuel Gardiner, the eIectri-
clan at the Capitol, has lately invented
and patented IN Europe and this conn
try a aself-lighting gas-burner, which on
turning on the gas is instantaneOusIv
lighted. If blown out by accident. or
intentionally, it Immediately reignites
Of it itself; in fact, it cannot be blown
out without Immediately lighting again.
The burner is so cOnStrUcted2as to cause
fifteen per cent. more perfect cOmbus-
ton Of the gas, the flame being steady,
and preventing the Pickering of the cas-
flame, which is the case with all burn
ers now used. 1t is just what the public
has been wishing for since the first in
PRODUCTION Of gas. No matches or eIec-
tricity is required. Public buildings,
churches, theaters, hotels, stores and
private residences can now dispense
with the annOyances and danger of
matches and tlambeaU. By turning on
the gas cock Of any public building ten
thousand gas-buTuers will spring into
light in a second of time. Hundreds
have within few days visited the rooms
Of Mr.. Gardner at the Capitol, and Wit
messed this wonderful invention. Two
of the largest gas-bUTner manufactures
III New York are now manufacturing
this burner. Orders for them are receiv-
ed daily from all parts of the country.
Professor Gardner has spent years in per
tectlng the lighting and turning on gas
by electricity, which has proved a per
feet success for the last four wears in
lighting the Capitol. His scientific stud
les have now resulted in this last inven-
tiOn-a self-Gghting gas-burner.- Wash

Statistics of InebriatiOn.

DR., Mckinley, of st. Louis, says the
Medical Reporter of that city, has com
piled, after n very careful research, some
very interesting statistics of inebriatiOu
in the United States BY him the fol-
lowing statements are made: Taking
the population of this country at 4O,OOO,
900, Of 800 men, 122, never drink spirits
at all; 100 drink moderately, but not 10
intOXiCatiOn; 50 are ephemeraI drinkers;
25 drink periodically, called "spreeing''
and 3 are habitual inebTiateS. To every
us who drink, 5 are confirmed inebri-
ates; 25 are periodical drinkers; 50 ephe-
neral drinkers. One confirmed inebri-
ate to every 59I of men. Of TO0 women
800 never taste alcoholics of any kind: 50
taste wine occasionally; Il taste ardent
spiris: 36 drink ale or beer constantly;
IA drink ardent spirits periodically, and
5 are habitual mehriates, Preponder-
ance in confirmed inebriates Ofthe sexes:
8 men in every rs; 3 women in every
100; l confirmed inebriate to every SSI
Fewer women drink than
men, but a larger proportion of them
become habitual drinkers. DehaucI
drinkers rarely become hahitual. but
periodical drinkers. The latter rarely
become habitual inebriateS, as the viO-
lence of their drinking is to great, and
leads to disgusting safety, and hence to
OfSObriCty.

The Cause of the Broken Rail on the
Long Island Railroad.

The officers of the Long Island Rail-
road say that the killing of six passen-
gers in their cars, an Friday, was caused
by a rail breaking under the weight of
the locomotive.
The locomotive in question was UnnsU-
ally light: the road, at the place of
slaughter, is straight and level and the
train was running at an ordinary rate of
speed. Every condition of absolute safe
ty in railroad travelling was therefore
present, and it would seem that nothing
but malice, or such gross negligence as
the law makes equal to malice, could
have brought danger.
The railroad company is certainly to
be held responsible unless it can show
that the negligence was not its Own.-
But the officers, if their statement are
true, show good reason at least for sus-
pending judgment. They show a rail,
badly flaWed, and broken in two places,
and declare that these fractures were
produced by the passage of the light
train Of Friday, and wrecked the train.
They also declare that the rail was
bought, with others, from first-class
house in this city, at the full price ask
ed for the best articles of the kind. and
in the belief that it was sound and good.
1t happens that the rail in question,
as the company asserts, which under a
slight pressure snapped short in two
places, like a pipe-stem, and which
looks, at all the fractures, like a piece of
poor pig-metal rather than like the
rough, " "stringy" wrought iron that it
ought to be, is one of q large lot of rails
bought by the Long Island Railroad
Company, as the superintendent Of the
road assures our reporter, of S. w. Hop
lins & Co., No. Il Broadway. 1t is
iron, manufactured in a Penn
sylvania fOundery.
The enormous tariff on iron compels
our railroads to pay a higher price for
the worst rails that can be made than
the best are worth in the markets of the
world. At the same time, by giving ex-
OTbitant profits to the owners of rolling
mills, and by depriving them of natur-
al competition, it induces them to turn
out every rail they can, to get the bene-
fit of the monopoly price, without re-
gard to quality. Thus the public are
driven to travel on unsafe roads, at ex-
cessive rates of fare, that handful of
may be enriched.

The Mistake Ora Confidence Man,

An amusing incident occurred on the
morning train from Chicago on the P,
Ft. w. and G. Railroad, last Monday.
Just before the train started, two conf
dence men were seen to enter coach.
They were placed, however, under strict
observation. One of them took a seat
beside an honest, rOund-faced, farmer
looking man, clad in a full suit of home
spun. The two soon entered into con-
veTsatiOn, on general matters at first
but soon the adrOit swindler changed
the subject to personal affairs. The old
gentleman said he was from Missouri
and was going to Valparaiso where his
son resided. Valparaiso! Strange coin

going there tOO-was a merchant and
had dealings with the old mans son,
knew him like brother. The two be-
came quite intimate and were chatting
costly together when q man stepped uD
to coincidence" presenting bill OfS5OO.
He was a Wholesale dealer in Chica-
go, on his way East and must have the
money. "COnfdence'' explained to the
old gentleman that he was little be-
hind-hand with that bill; could he let
him have the money till they reached

however, saying that his creditor had |
left Chicago in great haste and would be |
satisfied with Sl5, as he had no time to .
payfOr his expenses. Would the old gen .
tlcman let him have that amount?
ooh certainly" and he proceeded to
count out Sl7 from an old wallet. After
Strengthening the roll of bills, he raised
his cane and looked up, remarking to

voice which rose above the rattle of the
wheels, "take il, you id scoundrel,

PETTICOATsIN THE PULPIT.

A presiding Elder of the Methodist
Episcopal Conference, some months ago.
licensed q widow Van COtt to preach.
The widow on several occasions had sat
isfied the Elder that she had the Gift to
preach. The widow, who weighs ON er
two hundred pounds, has a voice for a
revivalist, and a figure, too, for that
matter. She can make herself distinct
ly heard to the corporate verge of anv
reasonable sized village, with the church
door and windows closed at that She
has strength and endurance, too, and
can speak without exhaustion three
hours every night of the week and twice
or thrice on Sunday. She proved her
capacity, too, before the Elder issued the
license, and was instrumental in the con-
version of some two hundred souls in one
village, and two thousand in the Elders
district, during u single season of pro-
tracted meetings, We should like TO
know q young llCeutilte who could pro-
duce better seals to his ministry than
these? The Elder, at any rate, thought
the pOnderOus widow a suitable person
to preach the gospel, and made out the
papers for her. But the New York Con-
ference, ofwhich the Elder is member,
does not approve the practice of licens-
ing women preachers, and an attempt
was made to ceuSure the Elder for hav-
ing done 50, which failed, after strong
debate, the whole matter was then
postponed to the session of 1870. So the
widow can go ON preaching to a lost
world, snatching brands from the burn
ing for n year more, at least.
After all, it must be said that women
have been the most efficient missiona-
ries and evangellsts the world has had +.
Their pure lives, out of which breaths .
the spirit of Christianity, have done
more to win men from sin ard iniOuitv
than any other influence since the davs
