The Principle Of the Leach.Tub.

From time immemorial the ash leach
has been in use in many civilized, that
Is, soap-making, countries. Essentially
an ash-leach is a vessel tight enough tC
hold wood ashes, but not tight enough to
hold water. Being first filed with ashes
water is then poured in gradually, and,
after time, runs out below, highly
charged with the soluble salt of the
ashes. gsv -.--...E,...Fz z. .ra7
But although this machine has been
so long in use the principle on which. ii
acts does not seem to have been fully
understood until quite lately About
the year 1888 Messrs. Bou.lay, of Paris,
applied the same apparatus to the man
ufacture of pharmaceutical preparations
tlnctures, infusions, extracts, etc. and it
at once became popular with pharma a.
ceutists, under the name of Boullays
Filter, or the Displacement Apparatus
Its mode of operation is simple; the first
portion of liquid poured in sinks into the
powder thai is be exhausted and
saturates - ftself with the soluble
parts of it. The later additions of Hq-
uid, instead of mixing with the
first, drive it down before them
and take its place, to yield it in turn to
the next portions poured in. Thus the
first portions of liquid that run from the
bottom of the filter will, If ithas been
properly managed, contain nearly all the
soluble matter, and the last will be al
most unchanged. e. For example, if an
ounce of powdered ginger be put into a
glass tube. as small 1amp-chimney
over the lower end of which a piece of
cotton cloth has been tied, and alcohol
be slowly poured through it, the first
huid-ounce that comes through will con
tain about all the strength of the ginger
booking through the glass we can watch
the whole process, see the first alcohol
dissolve the resinous matter of the gin
ger, becoming thick and dark-eolofed in
consequence, and then falling down be-
fore the new colorless alcohol added

Dutch Diamond Cutters.

used for this process is a circular ia.
bic of iron, known by the Dutch name
Of schulz. By means of machinery it is
made to revolge with extreme rapidity,
sometimes at the rate of nearly 5000
revolutions per minute. In practice, a
quantity of very fine diamond powder
moistened with olive oil, is placed on the
surface of the iron table. Before the
diamonds are polished they are set in q
cone composed of an alloy of lead and
tin, and this cone exactly fits in a cap
which is held steady by long handle
fixed in the wall of the room, or in some
convenient post. The facet of the dia

Discovery Of an Ancient Cavern,

ANOTHER one of those wonderful cav
erns which served as the dwelling place
OF man in the earliest epochs of our race
has just been discovered and made to
yield up its instructive treasures. 1t is
called the grotto of Lortet and is located
in the French Pyrenees. 1t has been in
habited at two distinct periods. for two
heaps of bones and remains were found,
one above the other, and separated by
deposit of white clay mere than nine feet
10 thickness, caused by an eruption of
waters heavily charged with steatite
through crevices in the rock which are
still visible. OF course this deposit must
have Deen long time in its formation
While 1T was going on the ancient hunt
ers of wild horses and gigantic stays
must have occasionally taken refuge in
the cave, for here and there in the white
clay a few flints were found; when the
irTlption ceased man again resumed his
residence in the cavern. In the two fire
places thus separated by the clay de-
post were found cut flints, weapons and
instruments made of bone or carved
from the antlers of the reindeer and stag,
especially spearp points, pins, needles,
harpoons and barbed arrow heads Some

but those discovered in the upper fire
place were admirably made. One frag-
ment of reindeer's antler has pictures
of reindeer and of fish engraved upon it
with absolutely exquisite skill. In spite
of its perfection this article is of iucon-
testible authenticity and represents, in a
new light, the artistic ability. of the
pTimeval man. 1t was found by Mr..
Trutat, Director of the museum at Tou-
louise, who for time conducted the ex-
plorations among the cinders of the up

er which forms the floor of the cavern
and which afforded it complete protec-
tion-so that this specimen of the handi-
craft of the reindeer age slept in its
shelter as intact as the products of
Roman civilization beneath the ashes of
Pompeii Another French Investigator,
Ne, Petite, has found that several curious
tubes formed from bone, discovered in
the caverns Of The yfenees, and which
have hitherto been puzzle to pal@olo-

of our cave-dwelling, orse-devouring

Desperate Fight Between a Leopard
and a Panther.
Fa-- s

Two lions, two leopards and tame
black panther have for some months
been kept in one cage in Barnum's Hip
podTome. The lions are separated from
their companions through the night by
iron bars, but in The daytime the bars are
Withdrawn and the animals form a
happy family"
No sooner were the bars taken out
yesterday morning than the leopard
made spring for the panther's throat.
rhe panther was young, but his muscles
were like iron and his skin as thick as
sole leather, and he struck the leopard a
blow with one of his forepaw that laid
him sprawling on the floor of the cage.
In an instant the leopard was on his feet
again, and the animals stood face to face
For fully a minute they glared and
growled, and then, with shock that
nearly turned the cage on its side, they
met again, each trying to grasp the other
by the throat.
The employees of the hippodrome, at
tracted by the noise Of the conflict, tried
with bars and spears to separate the
CONTESTANTS, but without avail. Seasoned
spears. were snapped in two like straws,
and even the keeper of the animals dared
not approach the cage. 500
The leopard, with an unexpected
spring, fixed himself on the panther's
back, and taking the loose skin on the
back of the latter's neck between his
teeth gave the panther a toss against the
side of the cage that bent the thick iron
bars nearly double. For minute there
was great danger that all the beasts in
the cage would escape. The top of the
cage was broken and the floor was split.
Bat the battle was over; for the panther
without sound struck the floor of the
cage lifeless. VA so ~.
But the leopard was not satisfied with
the death of his antagonist No sooner
was he convinced that he could ap-
proachs with safety than, Selling the
.panther's head between his fore paws, he
gave him tearing with the sharp claws
of his hind feet that nearly stripped the
skin from his body Then he began with
his teeth, and before the employees could
interfere nearly half of the dead panther
had been eaten by the leopard.
When at length sufficient force had
been collected around the cage, the
keeper who had tanned the panther en-.
tered the den. There upon the floor lay
his pets silky black skin, almost entire
His body, not yet cold, quivered and his
eyes glared. The leopard crouched in 9
corner of the cage, satisfied with his
meal. The iron bars were soon replaced
and the leopard was prevented from do
ing furt her mischief, k#k k8
At the afternoon performance the
leopard was scunruly that it was deemed
unsafe for the trainer to enter the cage
but the bars were kept in their places
nd no more damage was done.-N.f Y.

The old favoriie black and white silks in
even stripes are again in market.
Matelasse silks are shown IN light
qualities for spring and summer wraps
and parts of suits. The figures are ex-
ceedingly small, and while the quality of
the goods is light enough for wearing in
spring weather, the cvlors are as dark as
those of the winter.
Many novelties for spring suits are
shown in raw or crude silk fabrics that
are very similar TO Chinese silks both in
color and quality, and also in designs. In
deed, the tendency in spring goods is to
represent soft Oriental stuffs that drape
prettily and do not crush easily. The
matelasse caprice is also repeated in
these crude silks rs the, designs are
copied, though the fabric is SO light and
thin that it has not the wadded appear
ance of the heavier stuffs. These
diamond, star, compass, and other
"quilted" designs are found in ecru
beige brown and gray raw silks that are
similar to the pongees of two years ago.
There are also crude undressed silks
woven in plaids of beige shades on
cream-colored grounds, with occasional
bars of cardinal or of navy blue. These
are $3.50 yard, and are to form parts of
costumes.
Checks, blocks, plaids, stripes, damask
patterns and matelasse figures are all
brought out in the new black grenadines
for next summers dresses. The checks
and blocks are in square canvas meshes,
alternating with solid reps of the same
shape, or else they have lace-like blocks
beside a brocaded square. The matelasse
and damask patterns will probably be
popular, as they are new. The brocaded
figures are so fine that they might be mis-.
taken for needle-work. These figured
grenadines are far more largely imported
than plain canvas grenadines, but the
latter will not be abandoned by CON
servative ladies who do not seek the
latest novelties.-Hdrper's Bazaar.
