Salt Works on the Mediterranean

A few words as to the salt-works on the shores of the Mediterranean may not be uninteresting. The water from the sea is brought during the Summer months into large basins, where it clears and concentrates it's quality by evaporation, until the time arrives when it is saturated that IS, when it contains the largest quantity of.salt that the water can keep in 8 state of dissolution. There is a curious phenomenon connected with this period the surface of the water acquires red tint, and exhales the odor of vio- lets, which is thus accounted for. Many small organic beings, such as the little crustaceous branchiopodes and globu- lar microscopic vegetable, both of @ red coler, for the crustacean feeds on the latter, and, it's body being transparent, the color of the food it itswallows is visible, live in the salt water. As the evapora- tion proceeds, the density of the water in which they move increases, and the time comes when it is so considerable that they can no longer live in it, but rise to the surface like thin tissue spread over the liquid, and form rosy and perfumed bed. Then the workmen say " The basin will now yield it's salt. J Many other matters are deposited besides salt, such as salt of magnesia, chalk, sodium, iron. When the early attempts were made, the existence of iodine and bromine were altogether unknown ar- ticles in chemistry they have both played an important part in the progress ot photography.
 Ther5 was one drawback to the success of these salt-works which las been re- moved during the past few years, the evaporation being due to the season of the year, warm or cold Sumner made the greatest difference, and long periods of rest often hindered the workmen. It is we'll known that heat is but modif- cation of force and, wherever machine can be worked, there is source of heat, and, by means of applicances not difficult to modern mechanics, it can be trans formed into source of cold. When the question arose how the salt-pits could be regulated in these respects, it was known that powerful steam engines of more than hundred horsepower were used in India for the making of ice. In the London Exhibition of 1862, an economi cal and elegant machine of this kind was exhibited this on larger scale, was i'm mediately employed and the tempera ture can now be lowered at the right moment for the production of sulphate of soda- Chdmbe9'S Journal.

The Grand GeYSer.

A letter writer who has been on the Yellow Stone, thus speaks of Geysers, and the Grand Geyser in particular
 The most striking exhibition of Ma ture's forces in this wonderful region is that of the "Grand Geyser." While we were in the Fire Hole Valley this geyser played only at intervals of about thirty-two hours but when it was in active operation the display was grand beyond description. As we stood near the crater or basin, it threw up, with scarcely any preliminary warning, a col umn of hot water eight feet in diameter to the height of two hundred feet and so steady and uniform did the force act that the column of water appeared to be held there for some minutes, returning g into the basin in millions of prismatic drops. This was continued for about fifteen minutes, and the rumbling and confusion attending it could only be compared to that of a charge in battle The steam poured out in immense mass es, rising in clouds thousand feet or more in height. After the Grand Geyser had ceased playing the water of the basin retired from the surface, and the temperature fell gradually to 150o. Another geyser in the same group, and named by the Langford party "Old Faithful" was far more accommodating and played at intervals of only an hour, throwing up column of water at least six feet in diameter and one hundred and fifty feet high. for period of about fifteen minutes. The ease with which this column of water was sustained at the great height during the period of its operation rendered it marval of beauty as well as of power.

The Fishing Business.

A delegation of Massachusetts Fisher men, visited Washington and had an in terview with the Government. Ono of the speakers, MT. Phinney took the Barnstable District as fair illustration for the points he desired to impress up- on the committee. Before the late war there were only four districts in the United States which exceeded Barnsta- ble in the extent of tonnage. These were New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and New Orleans. The district has a population of 32, 800 and at present an enrolled and registered tonnage of 4S,- 800 tons. It has 548 vessels engaged in the coasting and fishing trade, 335 of which are engaged in the fisheries alone. product of the fisheries last year is given at a valuation of $1,271, POS. During and before the war there were ten ship yards in the districts, at which were manufactured vessels of from fifty to one thousand tons, and which employed more than two thousand laborers. Now all these yards are closed. Since the re- peal of the fishing capacity in 1865 the business and tonnage have largely di- unfinished, and since the same time the cod, mackerel, and whale fisheries have depreciated more than 50 per cent. Mr. Phinney contended that under the pro- visions of the treaty of Washington it would be impossible for the New Eng land fishermen to compete successfully with the fishermen of the provinces, and nothing but ruin stares those he repre- sents in the face. He showed while it costs about sixty dollars ton to build a vessel in the United States, it cost only about thirty dollars ton to build one in the provinces. This, with the diff ference of living, the cost to outfit, &c., made it impossible for American fisher men to contend with Canadian fisher men unless equal protection is extended to our own citizens. Unless relief is afforded in some form Mir. Phinney said that the fishermen of the Atlantic coast would have to leave their homes ennd take their vessels and engage in fishing in the provinces. This, he said, had al ready been done to some extent. But while presenting the above facts and arguing for protection, the delegation disclaimed any intention of antagonizine the administration, or of disturbing ol opposing the treaty. They said all they wanted was to present full statement of their grievances to the committee, il the hope that they would get some in identification in the way of relief. The other arguments made were in support of what MT. Phinney had said, and il accordance with his statements and pro positions.

APAR1oR GAME.--It is called the Game

APAR1oR GAME.--It is called the Game of degrees, and is a little puzzling at first, and requires rapid thinking {; but, like the writing of double acrostics, when the mind once gets walked up to it the prac- tice grows easy, and you invent so many things that you can hardly stop. It is played all up and down t'4e room every one goes to work at once and gives out his puzzle like conundrum. The idea is to find word which by some trick of pronunciation or spelling can be extend ed into another word, or perhaps two, which represent the three degrees of comparison-positive, comparative and superlative. Thus somebody says, My positive is an evil habit, my comparative is better !" every one guesses, and the words turn out to be bet-better. Or My positive is always on top, my com parative is always fast, and my superla tive is always uccessful-which on ex planation turns out to be Dec(k)-Dex ter-Dexterous.

Shaker Punishment.

Shaker boys doing mischief were sharp ly served, says a lady who is writing for the Galary some very interesting sketches of her life among these people. At one time some elders and addresses were visit ing Wisdom Valley, Shaker settlement near Albany, N. Y. from distant socie- ty. and Brother Eben, who then had charge of the boys, said to them /: |" I am going to escort the strangers through the orchard. Keep quietly at your work, grafting and pruning be seen and not heard"
 But they had discovered @ humble bees nest, and just before the visitors came they were in full cry, broad brims off, chasing the king bee through the ad- joining buckwheat field, headed by Rus sell, a handsome, rosy-cheeked lad. "Keep him down keep him down don't let him rise " shouted Russell, while the rest laughed and hurrahed, trampling down the buckwheat, forget ting the visitors, Brother Eben, all the world, in their eager pursuit.
 Russell secured the prize, and borrowed another hat to keep the king prisoner, while an exultant circle formed around him.
 "Hear the king bee buzz, boys {; just hear him buzz ]" said he in low, meas ured, but triumphant tones, as the poor bee went booming and humming round the hat and all this time Brother Eben was escorting the visitors through the deserted orchard.
 Not word was said that day, and the boys assured each other with joyous gig les that Brother Eben had been so busy bragging about his superior method of grating that he never missed them. But that night after the boys were in bed Brother Eben entered the long sleeping room. Going up to Russell he cried out, as if he had just made discovery, Ha, boys, here's the king bee ]" This woke Russell, who, starting up, was greeted with the cut of whip, and Keep him down keep hlm down don't let him rise p shouted Brother Eben, as blow after blow fell upon the shoulders of the poor little Shaker With sobs and screams he begged for mercy, but all he got was the lash, while Brother Eben, initiating his low, triumphant tone in the field repeated, "Boys, hear the king bee buzz just hear him buzz ]" The rest of the transgressors covered in terror under their bed clothes, holding their pillows over the likeliest places of attack. It was no use wishing themselves-as they did at the North Pole, for before long every boy was piteously roaring and buzzing' in chorus.
 Many years after, Russell, with others I, whom Brother Eben had ill-treated, Jeff the society and threatened to prose cute him. He was, therefore, eXiled for sev eral years to distant community o Shakers, to escape the consequences O. l tl nil. I,eyan

INSECURITY OF SUSPENSION BRIDGES

INSECURITY OF OUSPENS1ON bRlDGES. S.- An examination of the cables of the sus- pension bridge, which recently gave way at Pittsburg (says the Maaayacturer and Builder) revealed state of things which cannot fail to excite alarm in regard to the safety of other bridges supported by wires. The cables were originally composed of twenty strands of wires. In the one which broke only eleven wires remained at the point of fracture, the others having corroded away, and some of these had been reduced to the size of knitting-needle. This bridge, which had stood fifteen years, was known to be unsafe, and was closed to'spublic travel more than month ago. But no one suspected that the wires composing the cable were so eaten away by corrosion as the examination showed them to be /; and the question naturally arises wheth- CT the same destroying process may not be in progress in any other wire cables, as yet unsuspected of weakness.

CASHMERE SHAwLs.-There are many grades of Cashmere, or, as if is some times called, camels'-hair shawl-from the camel-goat, of whose wool 1t is woven. The prices range as variously, from the superbest efforts of the loom to the Ranspore chiddar, which is shoddy of camels hair, and costs $25 in gold, and the small, marrow -bordered squares worn by young girls, which are worth from $50 to $1O0. Of the less expensive kinds there seems nothing, on the whole, so we'll worth having as the striped long shawls, which are to be had of good qual- ity for $75, and which furnish warm and handsome wrap for lifetime. Of the choice grades, $200 or $500 will pro- cure fine and beautiful long-shawl, bor- dered all over except for small square centre. The antique patterns, which to the eye of. taste are infinitely handsomer than the modern, cost little less. The sum sounds considerable but when one balances years and perceives how much money is annually spent in providing temporary substitutes for this one large investment, which is not only posses. sion but an heirloom as well, the appa, rent extravaganza becomes no less ap parent economy.

ANSWERING LErrERs.-A great man,

ANSWERING LETTERS. great many people in this country are shamefully negligent about answering letters. Nothing is more annoying. In European countries it is regarded as the height of ill breeding to allow letter which needs a reply to go unanswered, and so it ought to be considered here. This is a point on which parents should lay great stress to their children. They should be taught to consider it as rude not to reply to a letter which needs attention as to hand a fork with the prong end.
 The busiest people are generally those who are the most exact in this respect. The late Duke of Wellington, who. it will be admitted, had @ good deal on his hands at different times of his life, re. piled to every letter, no matter from how humble source. Once clergyman who lived in distant part of the king. dom wrote to his Grace, on whom neith- CT he nor his parish had shadow oi claim, to beg for a subscription to build church. By return of mail came back letter from the Duke to the effect that he really could not see why in the world he should have been applied to for suol an object but tho parson sold the letter as an autograph for e5, and put the Duke down for that amount among the subscri | bars.

New Process of Bread-Making.

A new method of converting wheat in to bread has lately been devised in France, and is said to have found great favor wherever it has been tried. The process is substantially as follows: The wheat is first deprived of it's outer GOV ering or husk by suitable machinery, after which the decorticatcd grain is subjected to severn successive soakings in tepid water, the temperature of the water being about 175 deg. Fahr. for the first bath, and about 1O5 deg. Fahr. for the others. By this means the gummo- resinous cover of the grain is dissolved and removed. When fermentation oc- CUTS, this gummy substance, if left in the mass, gives the dough deep brown or blackish color, while it's removal leaves the dough as white as Ill the ordinary process. During the soakings the grain absorbs from sixty-fve to seventy per cent. of water After the last bath it is reduced to paste by means of machi- nery very similar to that used in chocolate mills. This perfectly white paste is next leavened, and after fermentation Is ready for baking.
 The advantages claimed for the method are these: The same quantity of grain will yield thirty per cent. more bread than by the old process the bread is more nutritious, and every way superior to that made in the common way its manufacture is also attended by very considerable reduction of both labor and expense. It is stated that the process has been Independently tested by com potent scientific and practical men, with uniformly favorable results.
