Iron.

The manufacture of metal on large
scale is by no means of modern date.
Long ago, in India, its manufacture was
carried on upon a scale so stupendous
as to rival the production of the largest
steam-hammer forges in Europe at the
present day. A wrought-iron pillar at
the principal gage of the ancient mosque
of the Kutub, near Delhi, is as large as
the screw shaft of frst-class steamer.
1t is slightly spindle-shaped, and is sur
mounted by capital of elaborate Indian
design, carved by the chisel in the solid
iron. The entire length is about sixty
feet. It's diameter near the surface is
sixteen inches; it contains about eighty
cubic feet of metal, and weighs upward
of seventeen tons. Near its middle is
an inscription of six lines in Sanscrit,
from which its age has been assigned to
the third or fourth century of the Chris
| tian era. -.-f-

a Mineral Wonder in California.

The Hon. T. Guy Phelps presented to
the committee of one hundred, at re-
cent meeting, a splendid specimen of
almost pure iron ore, which he repre-
sented as being taken from an iron
mountain as large, and the iron as pure
as that of the famous Iron Mountain of
Missouri. Although Mr.. Phelps de-
clined to give the exact location of the
deposit, he intimated that it was on the
line of the contemplated Atlantic and
Pacific road, and near enough to be
utilized in the city of San francisco.
Should coal also be discovered in the
vicinity, there might be a second Pitts
burgh grow up on the Pacific Slope.
Truly wonderful are the developments
being constantly made on this side of
the continent. The iron interest is of
the utmost extent and importance.
The annual value of iron manufactured
in the United States is 100000, 900,
and the wages of labor engaged upon
it exceed $60O,OOO,OO0. The number
of workmen employed is 100000. Cal
culating to the employe and his family
the consumption of agricultural pro-
ducts, it exceeds three times the value
of all the breadstuffs and grain we send
abroad. A further calculation makes it
appear that one-tenth of the entire
population of the United States is de-
pendent upon the production and man.

The American Desert.

From Mr.. C. II. Dorot we learn of the
death in the Colorado Desert of Mr..
William Kirk, formerly resident of
this city, under the most melancholy
circumstances. Mr.. Kirk, in company
with a gentleman whose name we did
not learn, started few days since from
Mountain Springs. with view of cross
ing the desert to the Colorado river, a
distance of forty-five miles. They had
but small canteen of water with them,
which was exhausted before reaching
their destination. Mr.. Kinks COM
panion being possessed of the greater
endurance, proceeded for the purpose
of allaying his own thirst and procur-
ing water to allay Mr.. Kinks thirst
likewise. Reaching the river and
quenching his thirst, he at once re-
turned with water for Mr.. Kirk, whose
body he found five miles off, where he
had EVENLY died from exhaustion. On
the same day the body of German was
also found on the same road, but be-
tween Ivannah and the river. He is
supposed to have perished from the
same cause.-Los Angeles (Cal.) Herald.

The Cow Tree.

Among the many curious phenomena
which presented themselves to me in
the course of my travels" says Hum
boldt, ~ confess there were few by
which my imagination was SO power
fully affected as by the COW tree. On
the parched side of rock on the noun
tains of Venezuela, grows a tree with
dry and leathery foliage, its large
woody roots scarcely penetrating into
the ground. or several months nthe
year its leaves are not moistened by a
shower its branches look as if dead
and withered; but when the trunk is
bored, a bland and nourishing milk
flows from it. 1t is at sunrise that the
vegetable fountain flows most freely.
At that time the blacks and natives are
seen coming from all parts, provided
with large bowls to receive the milk,
which grows yellow and thickens at its
surface. Some empty their vessels on
the spot, while others carry them to
their children. One imagines he sees
the family of shepherd who is distrib-
uting the milk of his flock"

Wonders.

Lewinbeck tells US of an insect seen
with microscope, of which twenty
seven millions would only equal mite.
Insects of various kinds may be seen
in the cavities of grain of sand.
Mold is forest of beautiful trees,
with branches, leaves and fruit.
Butterflies are fully feathered.
Hairs are hollow tubes.
The surface Of our bodies is covered
with scales, like fish single grain of
sand would cover one hundred and fifty
of these scales, and yet scale covers
FIVE hundred pores. Through these mar
row openings the perspiration forces
itself, like water through sieve.
The mites take five hundred steps a
second.
Each drop of stagnant water contains
a world of animated beings, swimming
with as much liberty as whales in the
sea.
Each leaf has a colony of insects
grazing on it, like COWS in meadow.

tested his innocence, and declared him
self the victim of a secret conspiracy.
After writ of error on matter of
form had been tried, and petitions for a
new trial considered and rejected, the
prisoner confessed his guilt, but petit
toned for pardon, on the ground that
the provocation he had received from
DIR. Parkman reduced the offense to
manslaughter. 1t did not appear, how
ever, that he had received any provoca-
ton beyond being dunned for payment
proceedings; and the State Committee
of Pardons rejected his petition.
It appears from the confession that
the fatal blow was given with the ham
mer, which crushed in the skull. The
murderer then dragged the body of his
victim into another room, stripped it,
and burned the clothes. He then part
ly lifted, and partly dragged the body
upon the sink, and dismemberedi it with
the knife, keeping the water running
from the tap to wash away the blood.
The head he carried into the laboratory,
and consumed it in the stove. He then
divided the trunk, and covered both
portions with strong alkaline solution,
which he hoped would destroy the
flesh. But in this he was disappointed,
and on the following day he burned
the hands and the feet, and threw the
bulkier remnants into the vault, from
which he subsequently raised portions
with hook as the horrible process of
burning them went slowly on. .,-..
The rest of the CHASTITY story is told
by the observations of Littlefeld, who
received the $4,000 reward offered for
the discovery of the body. The Gov
ernor of Massachusetts, saw no reason
to interpose between the murderer and
the law, and on the 30th of.August,
1850, the High Sheriff of Boston in
dorsed on the warrant for. Webster's
execution that "on that day, between
the hours of and 10 in the forenoon,
within the yard of the prison, and in
presence of the public officers and
twelve other citizens summoned to be
witnesses of the fact, John w. Webster,
convicted of the murder of DIR. Park
man, was hanged by the neck until he
was dead"

Educational Statistics.

The educational statistics from our last
census are being published in Europe,
to show that the education of the young
in the United States has been neglected
to a greater extent than was heretofore
supposed. Among our population, ten
years old and upwards, it has been found
that 5,660,074 are illiterate. OF these
a. ,8S2,2IO were of native and TIT 1854 of
foreign birth. OF these illiterates ,189,.
972 reside in the Southern, ], 1856, ,1O2 in
the Northern, and ia 600 in the Pa
cific States and Territories. AS respects
color, 100000 of this class are white,
and 2.700,000 colored persons. About
100000 are adults, of whom 2,500, 600
are in the Southern States, 100000
minors between 10 and 81 years of age.
OF this class 100000 are in the South
ern States. According to sex, 2,60O,O0O
males and 100000 females are litter
ate. Upon an average in every 10000
inhabitants in the United States, there
are S,7lI whites, 1896 eolored, l6

A Steam Canal Boat.

Henry Stanley is the inventor, and
his design is about as follows He pro-
poses to run train of four boats or
more with two power-boats, one in front
and one in the rear, each power-boat to
carry two hundred and ten tons of
freight beside the machinery.
The two intermediate boats, in which
every square foot of surface can be
made available, will carry two hundred
and forty tons each, making a total of
nine hundred tons of weight for the
boats is extremely simple and seems
ing boat has two screws in the bow, which
displace the water as the boat advances
and throw it. back along the sides and
under the boats, thus keeping the wa
| ter higher about the boats than before
or after. This was demonstrated by
the models which have been exhibited
here by Mr.. Stanley. The models con-
sist of two boats, representing the first
and last-the power-boats of the train.
1t was shown that if the rear boat rested
on the bottom of the canal, when
| the water from the boat screws reached
the point of adhesion the boat would
float and move freely, and it was also
observed that no power was lost in dis
placing the water, as the act of dis
placing drew the boat forward.
The rear boat has two screws in the
stern, so arranged as to draw the water
in from the sides of the boat and dis
charge it directly aft. The screws are
of peculiar construction, which admits
of their being used with equal advan
tage at the bow of the boat. The in
ventor states that the boats may be ruI
upon the canal at any degree of speed
without producing the slightest swell
either in advance or in the ear of th'
train, and experiments made with th'
} models, which, with trough in .whicl
they were worked, were exactly in pro
portion to the size of the canal AM
boats which it is prosposed to build

A Dog Dies of Grief.

1t is said that the dog of the late
Michael Carre, the author of "Mignon'
and e 'Faust,'' has died of grief The
poor animal refused to take food, and
succumbed after t. n days abstinence.
Broken hearts are about as common in
the canine world as in the human. The
affecting story of Cares dog is briefly
told: "After having, as it were, guard
ed the body, exposed according to GUS
tum at the door of deceased's residence
the faithful animal accompanied it to
the cemetery of the village. On re
turning home it refused every sort ot
nourishment, tapping only few drops
of water, and at last expired at the
