Chicago Grain Market.

Chicago is the biggest grain mart in the
world, and handles about 10000, 900
bushels annually. How this vast amount
is received, stored and shipped, is the sub
ject Of an interesting article in the Chicago
Times. The first steam elevator was es-
tablished in the spring of 1848, with a
capacity of 100000 bushels To-day
Chicago has eighteen steam elevators, with
combined capacity of Is, ,350, 900 bushels,
or mure than the average product of ,0OO,-
900 acres Of the fertile wheat-producing
lands Of the continent, Their capacity
varies all the way from 200, 900 bushels to
100000. The entire cost Of the eigh-
teen elevators now in operation was about
s5,000,000, exclusive of the grounds on
which they stand. Add for this 81 ,000,-
900 and the result shows s6,000,000 in
vested in this industry. The two great
firms of Armour, Dole & Co., and Nun
ger, Wheeler & Co., handle more than
one-half the grain that passes through
Chicago. They control eight of the eigh-
teen elevators, and last year they together
delivered over sixteen million bushels Of
wheat, seventeen million bushels of corn,
nearly four million bushels Of oats, and
over two million bushels Of rye and barley.
For the benefit Of the uninitiated it may
be stated that the term elevator is gener-
ally applied to the building in which the
elevator proper is portion Of the ma.
ehiuery, the building being vast store
house for grain, with any number of ele.
vators therein. Strictly speaking, the
ordinary elevator consists Of an endless
rubber belt, twenty-five inches wide, run,
ming on pulleys, and having attached to it,
at intervals of from twelve to thirteen
inches, tin buckets twenty inches long
and each holding about one peck. They
are continuous lifters, and although
single bucket holds but little, a thousant
in constant action will do an enormous
amount Of work in single day. Th'
grain trade Of Chicago is the wonder O
the world, and is increasing annually ii
astonishing proportions.

Utilizing cobwebs.

Cobwebs have been applied to various
uses The delicate cross hairs In the tel.
escopes Of surveying instruments are fine
webs taken from spiders Of species that are
specially selected for their production of
an excellent quality of this material. The
spider, when caught, Is made to spin his
thread by tossing him from hand to hand,
IN case he is indisposed to furnish the ar
tiCle, The end is attached to piece of
wire, which is doubled into two parallel
lengths, the distance apart exceeding q
little the diameter Of the instrument. As
the spider hangs and descends from this,
the web is wound upon il by turning the
wire around, The coils are then gummed
70 the wire and kept for use as required.
About a century ago, Boa Of Languedoc
succeeded in making pair Of gloves and
a pair Of stockings from the thread Of the
spider. They were very strong, and Of .
beautiful gray color. Other attempts d
the same kind have been made; but Rem
muir has stated that the web Of the spider
was not equal to that Of the silkwcrm
either in strength or luster. The COCOON.

How TO ExTINauIsH KEROSENE
LAMPs.-0wing to frequent accidents
which occur daily from kerosene lamps
we give the following advice, from the
English Mechanic:
"Turn the flames up to full power, then
blow a sharp puff horizontally across the
top of the funnel, when the the light will
not only be extinguished but there will be
no after smoke-the formerly ignited wick
will be extinguished by its own carbonic
acid gas. On leaving my Office at night
thus turn up the flaming wick, and, with
grateful gladness that the desk labors Of
the day (and night are over, give side
wave of the hat past the chimney, which
draws up the fame from contact with the
wick, aud the light is gone, and with nc
after smell. This cannot be too widely
circulated, as l read ia the Times the
other day that lady lost her life B,
blowing down the chimney, and causing
an explosion.

A Gaping Machine, for afixing the
metallic caps to jars, is useful invention
for druggists, gocers, fruit packers and
others who put up large quantities of bot
tied goods. The cap is placed in position
over the cork, and the top pressed against
die, which, being supported by spring,
yields, allowing swiftly revolving smoothers
to act upon the cap, behind the rim of the
bottle mouth, and press it neatly in place.
Various sizes Of dies are used for different
bottles. A gross of caps are easily at
tached in about fifteen minutes.-iScicn-

Mineral Wool.

We mentioned, hst week, the mineral
wool made of blast furnace Stag, which a
mistaken foreign contemporary announced
as new German invention. Specimens
of this material have been exhibited at the
fair, manufactured under the Player patent,
granted in this country in 1870. The
wool weighs about 80 pounds per cubic
foot, and is sold at 2 cents per pound. 1t
costs about 8 cents per square foot Of sur
face, inch in thickness. 1t closely re-
sembles genuine wool, but is of much
shorter fiber, and is somewhat gritty.
From report of tests made by a commit
tee of the franklin Institute, we learn
that, when used as felting, the mineral
wool retains heat somewhat more than one
tenth longer than common felting. The
material is entirely Indifferent to dampness
and fire, and docs not decay.-iScientifc

The sand-blast finds new application
in the manufacture of silyer-plated ware,
Parts of the ware are finished in stippling
work "a dulled surface, sometimes known
as "satin finish" This work has been
by rotating iron wire brushes, but fine
thread of sand, driven by compressed air,
is said to do the work much more quickly
and effectually. Patterns cut out of thin
sheet rubber are used to give any desired
markings or ornamentations, aud the slight
est exposure to the blast performs the
work instantly.

are not fast, be careful not to boil them;
but wash in the usual way with soap, and
rinse in hard water. For dark goods, add
a little salt to the water; for light, little
vinegar.
In tempering long taps, to keep them
straight, take bucket Of clean water and
stir it around with a stick or hammer
handle until a center is formed; then plunge
the tap, already heated, endwise in the
center. allowing it to cool before taking it
out of the water.
The following is a simple but sure way
to sell good from bad eggs Put them in
water enough to cover them. All that
lay fat, as they would on smooth surface
out Of water are good. Those Of which
the big end rises are bad. The vessel
used should have smooth, level bottom.
In cases Of sudden jar, knock, or jam
of the hand or fingers, Immediately after
the blow press the injured part, with the
uninjured hand, say between the thumb
and fore6nger, and gradually let up on it.
1t will nearly always remove the pain, and
generally the swelling, that might occur
under the circumstances.
To INDUCE SLEEP.-Shampooning the
feet will overcome sleeplessness, it is said.
Sleep will also be promoted by walking
about the room for ten minutes or quar-
ter of an hour before going to bed. The
extremities will be warmed and good
circulation induced few can sleep with
cold feet
To PRESERVE FLowERs.--Flowers may
be preserved for many months by dipping
them carefully as soon as gathered in per.
fectly limpid gum-water; after allowing
them to drain for two or three minutes,
arrange them in vase. The gum forms
a complete coating on the stems aud petals,
and preserves their shape and color long
after they have become dry.
HoT LEMONADE FOR A CODA hot
lemonade is one of the best remedies for a
cold. 1t acts promptly and efficiently,
and has no unpleasant after effects One
lemon should be properly squeezed, cut in
slices, put with sugar, and covered with
half pint of boiling water. Drink just
before going to bed and do not expose
yourself the following day. This remedy
will ward off any attack of chills and fever,
if used promptly.
RECIPE AND RECEIPT Books. Every
housekeeper should have not only recipe
book, but also receipt-book. Have a
bottle of mucilage and book, and paste
in the latter every receipt given by
g The butcher, the baker,
The candle.stick maker.
|. This will be found safe aud convenient
method of preventing trouble with trades
people, and no bill will be paid twice
To SOFTEN HARD WATER.-The use
of bonx in Europe for washing is well
known, the addition Of large handful Of
borax, instead Of soda, to ten gallons Of
water, being sufficient to save half the
quantity of soap ordinarily required. For
light fabrics and cambrics moderate
quantity is to be used; but for articles,
which require to be made stiff, a strength
ened solution is necessary. Being neu.
trail salt, it does not affect the texture OF
linen in the slightest degree; and as il
softens the hardest water, i is much used
in washing generally.
