vulcanizing operation Is simple enough,
consisting merely OF the addition Of a
quantity of sulphur--often combined
with coloring matter--to the wet paste
of rubber, followed by baking in
large iron ovens nlled in with lime.
Charged with sulphur, the rubber is
rolled into long bands of about half the
width of the proposed mats. These
bands pass on q travelling bed under q
machine furnished with sharp cutters,
which lnfiict stabs at regular distances,
and finally cut off the band into lengths.
These are next stretched on frame so
as to tear the wounds into almost
lozenge-shaped openings, forming per-
feet pattern, process far superior In
point OF economy TO that of punching
| out the interstices, and thus involving
waste OF labor and material. Stretched
on frames, the mats are now duly baked,
and on leaving the oven retain perfectly
the form imposed upon them. To this
process of vulcanizing rubber owes much
of its adaptability to many uses of
modern life. The addition of sulphur,
followed by baking in lime, imparts to the
material the power of resisting heat, and
has extended the area of india.rubber
goods to the torrid zone. Carried step
further, this process produces ebonite, a
material of great hardness and den .ity,
of which all kinds of articles, useful
and ornamental, may be made, among
which may be mentioned the cheap imi.
tations of jet, which have the advantage
of being far more durable than the
hydro carbon imitated.-AU the Year

A Great Volcano.

INlher work, The Hawaiian Archi-
pelago," Miss Isabella Bird tells of a
journey she made to the great volcano
of Mauna Loa. This mountain, which
is situated somewhat to the south of the
center of the Island of Hawaii, is the
highest active volcano in the world, ris-
ing to height of 1890 feet. The
whole of the south side of Hawaii down
to and below its waters edge is com
posed of its slopes, its base being 1870
miles In circumference. "Its whole
bulk above a heiehtof 5000 feet is one
| frightful DESERT" though vegetation, in
the form of gray lichens, little with
cred grass, and hardy asplenium, ex-
tends 1000 feet further up. During Miss
Birds visit to the summit the thermom'
Ieter registereds eleven degs. of frost.
The crater MOkuaweoweo is six miles in
circumference, II 900 feet long, 5000 feet
wide, with precipitous sides 800 feet
deep. The crater appears to be in a
| state of constant activity, and at times
oVertiows, carrying destruction to the
| lowest levels of the islands. Since white

From Small Beginnings

Sir John Crossley, during a political
canvass in Halifax, publicly referred to
the fact that his mother was servant
girl ON small wages The story, as told
to me, is that this girl was receiving Sc
a year, but that, being very thrifty,
she had managed to save up little
fortune, amounting in all 70 $40. Mr..
Crossley, who married her, had nothing
at all. On the $40 they set up shop in
which various useful things were sold,
the business being entirely conducted by
the wife. Having gained more money
by this means, the business was grad
ually enlarged, until finally they resolved
to restrict it to o special artiole-carpets.
Next followed the project of a single
loom; the one loom multiplied itself TO
small room full. Then they bought
the patent of the American BIgelow loom,
and this seems to have caused their busi-
ness to enlarge very rapidly. The first
poor little building with which they be-
gan--a picture of II is kept in frame-ex-
panded like a magical tree, and now
their establishments have spread INTO q
town of their own, the buildings being
connected by high bridges passing above
the streets. They employ 5000 hands
and their machinery is turned by seven
steam engines, representing an aggrel ate
power of 5000 horses. OfnetnRdtt Com

A Remarkable Case of Catalepsy.

OUR neighboring town of Newburg,
which represents Warrick County on the
Ohio, don't often have an occurrence at

denizens manage to get up something on

Lippert, was taken very ill with inham.
matory rheumatism, and, the disease con-
tihuing, her life was despaired Of She
continued to grow weaker and weaker,
and few days since died, or expired to
all appearances. The grief of the family
was very great, but at the death bed
there was also number of neighbors
In the hour of distress they turned in to
make themselves useful, and proceeded
to prepare the corpse for burial.f
The body was placed in convenient
position, and was noticed to be still
warm, but not more so than they are
after dying Of fevers. The neighbors,
about half an hour after Mrs. Lippert's
death, commenced TO wash the body. AS

little frightened, for they thought they
were dealing with corpse instead of one
still on this side of the celestial world.
The women continued their attentions
however until Mrs. Lippert was able to
speak. She said that just before she
died" everything about her became
dark and soon she went to sleep. When
she awoke it was bright, and, as she tells it,
she was in q strange place, feeling an &C.
stacy of pleasure, and was devoid of all
the racking pains with which she was
afflicted during her illness. She gives no
definite idea Of the land into which she
had in spirit wandered, or the people
she met, but is certain she was in heaven,
and in her simple way described the
place as beng an elysium of bliss.
While enjoying all this it became dark
suddenly, and she awokc as from pleas

corpse for nearly an hour, and that the
neighbors were washing her face.
Since then Mrs. Lippert has entirely

open-moutted Newburgers the story of
her death. This is the tale related by a

A Successful Practical Joke.

THERE is a man who lives In Denver
who knows just how to play a'good joke
vpOn fond parents. Two friends of his,
man and wife, were passing along the
street ahead of him, the man drawing a
small carriage in which was theIcouple's
first born. Every now and then the par
ents would look around at that baby
with more pride and satisfaction in their
eyes than single person could manifest
under any circumstances, and the sight
was enough to arouse all the mischievOus
propensilies of the man behind. The
father and mother had not discovered
him, as they stopped before o window to
admire the contents, as young people
who have rooms still unfurhished will
always do. The practical joker saw his
opportunity and improved it. He glided
up swiftly and silently to the carriage,
took out the baby and disappeared in an
adjacent doorway, all unnotioed. Final
ly the young married couple finished
their examination of the store window
and started on; they turned around to
look at baby! The scene that followed
was striking. The mother dived for the
carriage, shook up the coverings as
| though the baby might be hidden in
them, and then the air which swept
around the Denver street corners carried
to the ear succession of female screams
executed in the finest style of vocal art.
The father of the baby meanwhile, in
default OF any Other course to take, be-
gan a wild circular dance in Indian style
around the carriage where the baby late
| ly was, but wasn't then. Next on the
programme, the mother stopped Shrek
ing and prepared 10 faint away. Then
the baby was produced and peace re-
stored. The affair was a success.
