seIf-sealing Newspaper Wrappers.

During the last focal year, says tbs
Washington Chronicle, 1884 $50 stamped
newspaper wrappers were sold at post
Offices aud as the number of unstamped
sold by the general trade must have been
equal or even greater, the total number of
stamped and unstamped sold during the
year would be about eighteen millions, with
an increase of thirty four per cent over
the previous year; and yet, perhaps, not
one in three of the whole public ever saw
or used one of these convenient wrappera
They now have one cent stamp, and are
sold at six cent for FIVE wrappers, being only
one cent for the five wrappers, exclusive Of
stamps. A one cent stamped wrapper,
under the present law, carries two ounces,
and will nclose large newspaper. Will
this reduced postage, and the increasing
knowledge of this convenient article, with
millions of newspapers read daily, doubtless
the number will in a few years run mp to
one hundred millions annually, carrying
$1,000, 900 in postage, and thus aid largely
ia "diffusIng knowledge among mankind
The wrapper increases the sale Of news
papers to send to friends by mail, and is
therefore, an advantages and profit to all
great newspapers.

A New Way to Light f:ss.

a new method of lighting gas has been
invented by Mr.. ,. Ellington Booth, of
Preston. BY this method street lamps can
be lighted simultaneously from any dis
lance. The apparatus constituting the in
vention, the Preston Chronicle tells us,
looks like a moderately sized globnar ink
stand of glass, surmouuted bv a tube of
the same material, with a metallic top. BY
screwing off the burner it can be very easily
attached 10 any lamp. ehandt her-pipe, or
ordinary gas jet. The base or globular
portion is well filled with q deep red colored
liquid, 30 cheap that three penny worth will
serve She lamp for year. Over the liquid
and within the glass tube there is plate of
zinc, With a piece of graphite or gas coal,
and between these and II thin c0iled plati-
mum wire, fixed over the cup of the general
vessel, into which q gas burner is inserted.
galVanlC communication is obtained Igni-
ton Ii thus effected: A pipe is screwed to
the top OF the gas pipe; pressure on the
gas III this pipe causes a simultaneous de-
preston upon the chemical solution which
occuples lower level in two side tubes.
the gas occupies the vacuum caused by the
displaced liquid, and then ascends to
chamber connected with the burner, while
the displaced liquid is pressed into two side
tubes effectlng contact with the zinc and
graphite, and generating galvGnic activity.
This Is communicated to the platinum wire,
and eXcltes its catalytic power; the wire
bring then exposed 10 the ascending let of
gas. immediate ignition takes place.

Ealing Over u MheeI-barroNH.

II you have occasion to use a wheel-har-
COW; leave it, when you are through with
Il, in front Of the house, with the handles
toward the aoer. A wheel barrow is the
most complicated thing to fall over on the
face of the earth. A man would fall over
one when he would never think of falling
over anything else lie never knows when
Sic has got through falling over it either,
for it will tangie his legs and his arms, turn
over with him and rear up in front of him,
and just as he pauses in his profanity TO
congratulate himself, it takes new turn,
and scoops more skin of of him, and he
commences to tvOiute anew, and bump him
self, on fresh places. A man never ceases
10 fall over IA wheel-barrow until it turns
completely on its back, or brings up against
