Imitation of MahOgal,y.

A method of treating ordinary wood
SO as to produce an almost undistin-
guishable imitation of mahogany as
practiced very extensively in France at
the present time, consists in first plan
ing the surface so as to render it per-
fectly smooth, and then rubbing it with
diluted nitrous acid which prepares it
for the materials subsequently to be APP
piled. Afterwards, one ounce and a
half of the gum called dragons blood
dissolved in pint of alcohol and one
third of that quantity of carbonate OF
soda, are to be mixed together and ill
tered and the liquid in this state is to
be rubbed, or rather laid, upon the wood
with a soft brush This process is re-
peated with but little alteration, and in
very short interval afterwards the
wood assumes the external appearance
of mahogany When this application
has been properly made, the surface
will resemble that of a mirror; and If
the polish should become less brilliant,
rubbing the wood with a little cold
drawn linseed oil will restore the for
mer lustre.

A New Water.PiDe.

A new kind of water-pipe has beer
invented. 1t is made by winding con
tinuous strips of wood about form o.
the size of the inside diameter required
for the pipe The strips or ''lamne
are laid on spirally one above the other
to give the required strength, SO thai
the pipe is made on the principle Of
hopping barrel, and in short is all one
hoop. In the process of winding the
strips are made to pass through boil
ing hot asphaltum, which secures its
indestructibility in the earth. Any
size pipe, from three inches upward,
may be made. Everybody knows the
great strength of wood when the strair
is applied lengthwise of the fibre, as IL
the case of the 6 laminated pipe. Elk
periments with specimen of this pipe
have demonstrated its power to resist
successfully pressure of 1000 pounds
to the square inch.

The Grand Duke Alexis and IS Buffalo
RiI -

The famous Buffalo Bill " IS one
of the party on the buffalo hunt with
the Grand Duke Alexes. The N. Y.
Herald correspondent thus describes
the meeting of the Duke and Bill, at
North Platte:
Gen. Sheridan arranged with the ge-
NAL and daring Buffalo Bill to be on
hand and act as guide, and this renown
ed scout was promptly on hand in all
his element. He was seated on a
spanking charger, and with his long
hair and spangled hucksllin suit, he APP
peared in his true character of the
feared and beloved Of all for miles
around. White men and the barbarous
Indians are alike moved by his pres
ence, and none of them dare do aught
In word or deed contrary to the rules
of law and civilization. After the du-
cal party had alighted, Gen. Sheridan
beckoned the notorious Bill to APP
proach He advanced carelessly and
yet respectfully.
. Your Highness, " said the General.
this is Mr.. Cady, otherwise and uni
versally known as Buffalo Bill Bill,

eyes, answered Alexis, 'Eand hope
to have a good fine time. have heard
of you before, and am glad to meet you
here"
Thank you, thank YOU" said Bill,
with smile as honest and sweet as
that of a love sick maiden elf the
weather holds good we will have one of
the finest hunts that there ever was on
this continent"
At this moment DR.. Caudrin, of the
Dukes suite, stepped up to Bill and
mentioned word or two about his rig
out.
DO you always dress this way?"
asked the Doctor.
6 No, sir, not much. [ have got this
suit particularly for this occasion.
When Sheridan told me the Duke was
coming ] thought | would throw my
self on my clothes. [ only put on this
rig this morning, and half the people

laughed heartily, and so did the Doe

crowd

Nickel-Piated Steel.

A small square bar of steel coated
with nickel has been repeatedly i'm.
mersed IN water for hours together
without showing any signs of rusting,
and Mr.. john Spiller states, in the Pho
tographic News, that he finds it pos.
sible to bury it in flowers of sulphur
for several days without tarnishsng the
lustre of the nickel surface. Neither
has this latter severe test any effect
upon the copper and brass bars upon
which the nickel coating has been APP
piled, and these metals may even be
immersed IN aqueous solution of nitrate
of silver without effecting the reduc-
ton of that metal. This discovery furn-
ishes us with another valuable material
for electro plating. The nickel facing
is of winter color than polished steel,
though ii is not equal to silver, being
more like platinum. Its points OF
melting and of oxidation are very high.

The Postal Card system.

American ingenuity is likely to over
come the only objection to the postal
card system, as it exists in England
and Germany. This objection Is the
publicity of what is written on the
cards. If it affected merely the writer,
the objection would be very slight. for
no one is obliged to send in that way
what he does not wish to be made pub
lie. Unfortunately, however, the re-
ceivers of these card messages suffer
greatly by having servants and others
read them; and this frequently when
the writer's are innocent of all intent to
offend or iniure. Two plans have been
suggested at Washington by which to
overcome the difficulty. One inventor
proposes a card which will field IN the
centre, the edges being supplied with
gum arabic. Another suggests a card
with lappet of brown paper folding
over the written matter. Either OF
these plans seems simple and conven-
lent and as the card system has al
ready proved profitable to the govern
ment i'll England, we see no reason
why the convenience should not be i'm
mediately adopted in this country.

Shin Binding Mt st. Johns.

The ST. Johns Telegraph gives a
glowing account of the ship building
interest in New Brunswick and Nova
Scotia. In 1871 ~, 900 tons of shipping
were built in st. John harbor and its
immediate neighborhood. OF the yes
sells built, four were steamers, four
were ships, twenty-five were barks, and
twenty-five were schooners. Superior
vessels have been built and fully equip
ped for sea for thirty-five dollars per
ton, while many have been constructed
even for twenty nine dollars per ton.
The profit of the business has been so
great that extensive preparations are
making for an increase of the business
the present year. The Telegraph pub
fishes list of thirty-three new vessels
already contracted for in the neighbor-
hood of st. John and in Nova Scotia.

A War "Reminiscences.

Under the wagons of rancid pork,
When battle gan, a writer gat
Ri ing the mist of the battle morn,
Disclosed the form of Dunn Piatt.
Dunn swung close to the wagon-wheels;
On end he 'fht /" aud trembling sat
Clinging in fright to the dirty spokes,
Behold the writer, Dunn Piatt.
Little he saw of young Sniffldns then
Not even a sniff of sniff. he shifted.
Roared the battle beyond him loud,
But Dunn wasn't mad-not even miffed.
Why should the Dunn be inflamed at rebs,
While meath the loads of rancid pork
Safely he sat by the wagon-wheel,
Away behind the bloody work?
Ceased the battle at length, aud din
From meath the pork a writer gat;
Rising, tho mist of the battle morn;
Dis closed the form of Dunn Piatt.

4 New Organization In England.

There exists i'll England an organiza-
ton known as the "New Social ALI
ance," which was formed by the fusion
of British Radicals and French Com.
munists, with a slight leavening OF
Radical enthusiasts from the ranks OF
the nobility 1t has been extensively
heraided as an alliance OF Peers and
Worklngmen, but the Peers are few,
and the Workingmen fewer. It's object
is. of course, the reconstruction of the
world in general, and Great Britain in
particular. The first estate paper of
the Alliance has just been published
IT is the shape of series of resolutions
adopted by the Committee on Techni-
cal Education Technical Education
is, no doubt, a great need, but the av-
erage Englis Imam will probably
shrink from adopting the plan
of this Committee. They ask
for $1,000 600 per annum for the
schools, colleges, and university that
they think necessary, and, in addition
to this, grants of indefinite amount for
past graduate scholarships and the like.
Moreover, beside the 321 institutions
that they propose to establish, they
wish to introduce technical training
into the common schools which the late
education act has brought into life
throughout the country. The scheme
is too gigantic to succeed Its projec-
tors are acting over again the part of
Romney Leigh. III losing sight of all
chances to do particular good in their
thirst for general reforms. Unless the
"New Social Alliance" can reduce its
plan to manageable proportions, we
fear that it will say, with Romney:
-"There was left
One stone stair. symbolic of my life,-
Ascending, winding. leading up to naught."

A POOR wretch in Paterson, N j.,
went from house to house on Christmas
day trying to sell a tumbler. A charita-
BILE lady purchased it for five cents,
and procured his address. Visiting
his house shortly afterward, the Christ
mas dinner of the man, his wife and
children, was found to be a five cent
loaf of bread purchased with the pro-
ceeds of the sale of the tumbler.
The lady went round among her
friends, and in little time the house
was well warmed, a good dinner was
provided, clothes were gwen to the in
mates, and a months rent was paid
in advance. Surely merry Christmas
for that poor family.
