A Mechanical Marvel.

Mr.. William Webb, of London, has
produced q curiosity in microscopic
writing. He has accomplished the feat
by means of machinery ON glass. with
the aid of diamond. The writing con-
sists Of the Lords Prayer, which is writ
ten upon glass within space equal to
one two hundred and ninety-fourth part
OF an inch in length, by one four hun
dred and fortieth part of an inch in
width, space corresponding to the dot
over the printed letter 4. The dot of
writing has been enlarged by means of
the photograph SO as to occupy space
OF about two inches long by one and O
half inches broad.
The photograph brings the words out
leglbly, the number of letters being 227.
Such is the fneness of the ORIGINAL
writing that %, 431, 428 letters written
the same way would only cover one
square inch of glass surface. The
whole Bible, including the Old and New
Iestaments, contain 3, 5G5, 48O letters ::
therefore Mr.. Webb could write the on,
tire contents of more than eight Bibles
within the space of one square inch.
Two specimen plates of this micro
scoplc writing have been produced for
the United States museum ct Washing
ton at cost of $50 each.
The Webb machine, however. does
not equal, in the fineness of writing or
the perfection it has attained, similar
machine, the invention of Mr.. Peters.

chine produced writing as long since as
1856, nearly three times as fine as that
of Mr.: Webb. 1t was competent to en-
grave the entire contents of the Bible,

The Laughing Plant.

Palgrave's work on Central and Eastern
Arabia, an account of q plant whose
seeds produce effects similar to those
of laughing gas. It is native of Ara

attains to q height of from three to four
feet, with woody stems, wide-spreading
branches, and bright green foliage. It's
flowers are produced in clusters, and
are of bright yellow color. The seed
pods are soft and woolly in texture, and
contain two or three black seeds, of the
size and shape ola French bean. Their
flavor is little like that of opium, and
their taste is sweet the odor from them
produces a sickening sensation and is
slightly offensive. These seeds con-
tain the essential property of this ex-
traordinary plant, and, when pulverized
and taken in small doses, operate upon
q person in most peculiar manner.
He begins to laugh loudly, boisterously;
then he sings, dances, and cuts ali
manner of fantastic capers. Such ex-
travagance of gesture and manners was
never produced by any other kind of
dosing. The effect continues about an
hour, and the patient is uproariously
comical. When the excitement ceases,
the exhausted exhibitor falls into a deep
sleep, which continues for an hour or
more and when he awakens, he is ut

Sun-Writing On Glass,

As early rs 1926. Professor Faradav
noticed a change of color in glass con-
tanning oxide of manganese, due to the
action of solar light, and it was thought
that advantage might in some cases be
taken OF this action for the removal of
color in glass. Prof. Faraday found
that glass of pale color, or even color
less, at first became pink by long expos
ure to solar rays, while portions of the
same glass, not so exposed, were ap-
parently unaltered. This effect he at
tributed to the solar light acting upon
the manganese. In 1889 Splittgerber
recorded the following interesting fact
in Poggendorf's Anualen, published in
Berlin: II would mention a curious
fact, in which the sunbeams have. if I
may say 80, done something in the art
OF penmanship-no only on the sur
face, but by inscribing characters
through the body of the glass; and
though the matter is based upon causes
well known by experience, yet there has
probably never before been so striking
an instance of their effect known. I am
in possession of plate of glass which
was used as window-pane for more
than twenty years, and on which was
an inscription in gold letters. This in
scription was taken off by grinding the
plate on both sides, and polishing it so
rs to have new surface. When the
glass had been polished, the inscrip-
ton could again be plainly seen. The
part which had been under the letters
remained white, while the remainder
of the plate had assumed violet tint,
in consequence of the manganese it
contained, q coloring which permeates
the whole mass, as the grinding of the
surface proved. The uncovered part of
the plate, especially when laid upon a
white background, shows the clearly
readable characters. e. S. DRoNE.

The Order of the Temple was started
at Jerusalem in 1118, by nine French
gentlemen, who united themselves in n
society, under the name of the
Brothers of Christ, in order to protect
pilgrims and defend the faith. They
took the three monastic VOWS; and
though they began most modest y in
little house which the second Baldwin
gave them near the Temple, the usual
donations soon arrived, and enabled
them to form themselves into a regular
military order, the distinctive 81 gn of
which was the red cross on a white
robe. They rapidly became famous,
and acquired the reputation of possess
ing "the gentleness of lambs and the
patience of hermits, and the courage
of lions" But they had the misfor-
tune to grow rich, and in consequence,
jumped suddenly from humility and
austerity to every sort of vainglory
and Righteousness. Richard Cpur De
Lion said of them at his epoch, that,
wishing to Danish vices from his
court, he had married pride to
Templier; the proverb "boire CONNIE
I'm Templar got into circulation ut
the same time. The order grew in
wealth, in strength, in disorder, and in
thirst for domination. Suddenly CO.
alition war formed against it and the
Templars were condemned both by
pope and kings, and were extinguished
in 1912 with even more than the usual
cruelty of the period. -Btackwood's

Liver and Blood Diseases


Ahcalthy liver secretes zach day about two
and half pounds of bile, which contains q
great amount of waste material taken from the
blood. When tho liver becomes torpid or con-
gested, it fails to eliminate this vaat amount of
noxioas substance, which, therefore, remains to
poison the blood, and bo conveyed to every part
OF the system. What must BIO the condition of
the blood when it is receiving and retaining
each day two aud half pounds of poison )?
Nature tries to work of this poison through
other channels and organs--the kidneys, lungs
skin, etc, but these organs become overtaxed
in performing this labor in addition to their
natural functions, and cannot long withstand
the pressure, but become variously diseased.
The brain, which is tho great electrical cen-
ter Of all vitality is unduly stimulated by the
unhealthy blood, which passes to it from the
heart and it fails to perform it's Office health
fully. Hence the symptoms of bile poisoning,
which are dullness, headache, inaapacity to
memory, dizzy, sleepy, or nervous feelings,
gloomy forbodings, and irritability Of temper.
The blood itself being diseased, AZ it forms the
sweat upon the surface of the skin, it is so
irritating and poisonous that it produces dis
co!ored brown spots, pimples, b!otches and
scrofulous tumors. The stomach, bowels, and
other organs cannot escape becoming affected,
sooner or later, and We have az the result, cos
tlveness, piles, dropsy, dyspepsia, diarrhea.
Other symptoms are common, as bitter or bad
taste in mouth, internal heat, palpitation, teas
ing cough, unsteady appetite, choking sensa-
ton in throat, bloating Of stomach, pain in
sides or about shoulders and back, GOODNESS Of
extremities, ETC., etc. Only few Of the above
symptoms are likely to DO present in any case

The following sensible instructions
about making and handling butter are
given by q person who is thoroughly
aware OF the Importance which should
attach to the manufacture of this ar
ticle.
First.-Be particular to take the
cream off in the proper time and do
not allow it to stand too long before
churning, which should be done in the
cool of the day, not failing to work ont
all of the buttermilk while it is vet
hard, after which let it be thoroughly
worked in clear cold water until it leaves
the butter colorless.
&cond.-A proper use of the RIGHT
kind ofsalt demands the most careful
attention, for too much DESTROYS the
sweet and delicate flavor, and an insult
ficiency is attended with well known
results. None should be used but Ash
toms Liverpool Dairy, which is free
from carbonate of lime and all imDuri-
ties common to domestic salt, which are
fatal to the safe preservation of butter
and meats -.
znird.-The kind Of packages to be
used also deserves important mention.
Second hand ones should be invariably
avoided, for conclusions as to cleanli-
ness are commonly jumped at, and
while jars and pals generally meet with
ready sale to the local trade, they are
entirely neglected by shippers, whose
competition has wholesome effect
and when the market is we'll stocked
such packages are of dull sale.
