CoprERING OF IRON ROLLERS FOR CALICO
PRINrING.-Th Schiumbergcr clcanses the
iron cylinders with a concentrated alkaline
ley, washes well in water, and goes over
the whole surface with the file. The sur
face is then very bright, and Is not to be
touched with the finger or soiled with the
breath. 1t is then plunged in an alkaline
bath composed of: Sulphate Of copper, l
part, dissolved in water, II parts cyanide
of potassium, parts; carbonate Of soda, j
parts; sulphate of soda, parts dissolved IN
water, l6 parts. Or: Ammonia, three
parts, acetate of copper, , parts, dissolved
in water. 10 parts; cyanide of potassium, 3
parts, carbonite of soda, 4 parts, sulphatc
of soda, = parts, dissolved in water, 10 parts.
The cylinder is allowed to remain twenty
four hours i'll one of these baths, subject to
the action of ii battery of four or six pairs,
till the surface is coated with a slcn Ter but
adherent layer of copper. 1t is washed
and cleansed with pumcc stone. 1t III tins
operation the iron should be laid bare in
any part, the cylinder must be anew sub
the coating of copper is uniform, it is wash
ed in acidulated water and immersed in an
acid bath of sulphate of copper. The bath
is composed of solution of copper at POO b.,
to which 1-3OO of its volume of sulphnric
acid is added to facilitate the solution OF
some metallic copper, which is also im-
mersed in the bath for the purpose of MAIN
tanning the solution in Il uniform stats of
concentration. Here the cylinder is left
till the layer Of copper has attained the de-
sired thickness, a galvanic current being
kept up by battery of four pairs. If the
temperature is between 600 and Go, three
to four weeks are required to produce de-
posit of one thirty third of an inch in thick
ness. The cylinder is turned one quarter
round daily to change the portion of its sur
face which faces the sheet of copper used
as positive clcctrodc.

When William IL. Seward made his tour
around the world he witnessed some perfor-
mances of juyslers in India which were
quite surprising. He saw IL man climb a
bare pole sixty feet high standing i'll the
open air, and when he reached the top h1
mysteriously disappeared. After a while
his feet reappcared, then his legs and body,
and he came down, lie claimed no super
natural powers. How did he do it? There
was an Indian ju9Sler who had . little den
on the Bowery few years ago. He was
a dirty fellow, and respectable people were
not much disposed to venture into HIS place.
A gentleman told the writer that, moved
by curiosity once, he went in. The jugglcr
made HIM sit on the floor. In Il moment
two figures, apparently human, rose out of
the floor in obedience to the wand of the
conjurer. The grew to the orlinlry hight
Of a human being. The visitor made Il mo-
ton to rise, when the figures sank through
the door instantly. An examination Of the
place betrayed no visible solution to the in
genious performance.

BEsr BREED OF HoGs.--ln answer to an
inquiry which is the best breed OF hogs, an
Ohio breeder Gives the following rea-
sons for naming the Poland China as such
breed:
l. They do not get NANCY. have
never had one that was troubled this way;
and this is something of so much impor-
tancc that it should not be overlooked by
any farmer who knows anything OF the
evil
2. This breed is excellent on account OF
its early fattcning qualities; and yet Tor
It's continued growth it has no equal. When
on nine or ten months old it will readily
fattcn into clear pork, weighing 300 pounds
or more. Or they will continue to grow
until twenty months old, and then weigh,
when fattencd, from iJ0 to 525 pounds.
g. 1t is the best feeder on clover and blue
grass that know of. | have witnessed
test experiments which went to show that
hogs of this breed will make more gain and
thrive better on grass alone than those of
any other breed.
H. They are naturally quiet at all
times, unless contrary spirit it stirred up
by abuse. They fatten well, eating their
FL and then lying down. The sows are
good and prolific breeders, kind in litter
and good suckers
5. claim that the Poland China is the
hog for the packer. because of the propor-
ton of weight behind the shoulders and
the amount of h-priced meat it carries,
and Il corrcspondingly small amount of
oi.al produced 1t has Il small head and
small feet.
6. 1t is the breed that we can do the
most with between April and January. l
claim that PIG should come when grass in
the spring begins to grow, so that they can
be fattencd without having to wir.ter them.
Or, if we deem it good policy TO hold them
over, we want them to keep on growing
during the second summer with the least
cost.

The DIVING BEIL.-M. Tosselli states
that he has been making experiments with
his submarine vessel, or "marine MOLE" as
he calls it. He is struck with the cores
pondencc of many of the phenomena to
those observed in ballOoning. and considers
that it is at the bottom of the sea that the
problem of aerial navigation will be solved.
In IL liquid mass which is still, the machine
moves quite well in obedience to the screw
propeller, which is driven by the hand.
But if the vessel meets Il current, it is vain
to think of contcnding with it. Another
difficulty, Us in balloons, is orientation.
Once a balloon has got to some distance
from the earth it becomes impossible to
tell the direction in which it is going The
needle is useless. And, similarly, in the
"marine mole" when it is only o.39 of an
inch under the surface, and nothing is seen
in motion but the fish, the compass is found
of no use To 90 to certain point, an ar
t;ficiul meridian has to be arranged outside
M. Tosseli remarks, too, on the great dis
tinctness with which sounds are heard. At
a depth of 10 feet, the screw of Il steamer,
passing about $50 yards off, sounded in the
(hermctically closedD mole as if directly
overhead. The contrivancc of M. Tosselh,
alforcling, Us it does, Il novel opportunity of
observation, may furnish some instructive
data in physics.

Frozen MiNEs.-The remarkable frozen
mines of Colorado are described by Mr.. Il.
Weiser, of Georgetown in that territory, i'll
a communication to Sii'in,on SJournat. One
of them is the Stevens mine. ut Il height of
twelve thousand five hundred feet above
the level of the sea, in Clear Creek county.
At depth of from sixty to two hundred
feet, the lode or vein of silver ore, us well rs
the surrounding rock, was found to DE froz-
Ell solid. "Therc are no Indications of q
thaw summer or winter; the whole frozen
territory is surrounded by hard, massive
rock, and the lode itself is as hard and solid
as the rock The miners being unable to
cxcavute the frozen material by pick or
drill, to get out the ore, found the only way
was to kindlc II large wood-tirc at night
AGAINST the back end of the tunnel, and
thus th:tw the frozen material, and in the
morning take out the disintcgrated ore.
This has been the mode of mining for more
than two years. The tunnel is over two

the occurrence of this frozen mass so far
underground, except on the hypothesis that
the frost penetrated to that depth during
the glacial epoch. and has remained there
ever since 1t could not have found its way
thither from the outside while the region
was subject to any such climate as now pre-
walls there.

RAlN.-Professor Iyndtlls experiments
upon the condition Of the atmosphere in re-

conclusions which are of the Utmost import

The Grange and Farm.

The editor of the Florida Patron, w,
H. Wilson, is man who does not dis
guise his sentiments, or 60 out of his
way to call a spade "an agricultural i'm.
plement." He accounts logically for
the grange thus: "From effects there
are causes. Had it not been for the
devil there never would have been
church associations. It is the case with
us to-day. Had the farmers never been
wronged, there never would have been
grange associations. 1t is the oppres-
sion of unprincipled men that has caus-
ed all the labor association. The money
created by our muscles has drifted into
into the hands of the few who lord over
us. Poverty has invaded the home of
every honest toiler, not because we do
not produce a suficiency, but because
We do not receive the profits on our own
labor. Taxation, direct and indirect,
is robbing US on every side, and our leg
lslators, for want of ability or principle,
are mortgaging our homes, not satis-
fed, they are mortgaging, forever, the
labor of our Children"
Concerning of6ce-holders and legisla-
ton, Wilson is emphatic and to the
point. |Do you not know that the ar
my of oftice-seekers is a cooperating
ring, engineered by the moneyed power,
and whose fundamental principle is,
you tickle me, and I'll tickle you,' or
IN other words you put me in Office, and
Ill give you sugar-teat to SUCK The

sional and middlemen, and the Office

workingmen are too poor, and cannot

the business of Legislation is to increase
the taxes, and make laws to compel the
