TRANSPORTATION OF SANDSTONE TO
MARBLE. Corvin, an engineer resid-
ing at Dresden, Germany. has invented
a method of giving the ordinary sand
stone, found in abundance in many
localities, the exterior appearance of
marble. He accomplishes this by i'm
pregnating the well dried stone with
soluble silica and alumina. The thus
prepared sandstone becomes much
lighter IN color, some kinks being in
tensely white and translucent, while it
is capable of the highest polish. equal
to that on the purest marble. He has
even succeeded in initiating marbles of
every color by adding mineral colors to
the liquid used for impregnation. The
famous quarries near Pima, in Saxony,
produce a sandstone especially adapted
to this process, and AIr. Corvin now
makes colored stones from this sand
stone, adapted to the most elegant
architectural structures. The price is
considerably below that of marble and
the new material has the important
advantage that it is much more fire.
proof than marble, which, when ex-
posed to the fire, rapidly burns into
quicklime and crumbles to dust.

The following extract from letter to
Science Gossip will show what large
prey is sometimes hunted by compari-
lively small animals: 'Being out one
June afternoon in search of mari fossils
at the Downs, above Ventnor, in an
angle of the Down enclosed by two
fences, and where the suns rays poured
down with unusual warmth, encoun-
tered large adder lying on the top of
a stone that had fallen out of the above.
At the first sight took it for toad,
but when it uncoiled itself, which it did
when it saw me, and tried to escape, l
saw my error, and that it was the above
mentioned reptile, which had gorged
itself with something that had caused
it to resemble huge tadpole in ap-
pearance. On the spur of the moment
L threw my fossil-hammer at it, which
completely disabled it and on exam
lining it l found that the creature had
swallowed full-grown mole, and when
1 disturbed it it was in the act of taking
siesta after its repast."

The manufacture of Illuminating gas
from water has not been heard much of
lately, but now has come an English
inventor who makes an illuminating gas
from sewage water, forty-seven feet of
gas being obtained from one quart of
sewage water. One foot of sewage gas
gives as much light as three feet of coal
gas, and the flame is clearer, purer,
more healthful, and cheaper. The
process consists in passing the liquid
through two heated retorts, then
through an iron cylinder called the
hydraulic main, which is above the
furnace, then through another heated
retort, and next through coil of metal
piping immersed in cold water. After
wards the process is the same as In
making coal gas. Recent investiga-
tions have raised grave doubts as to the
propriety of using sewage as manure,
the vegetables raised by its means
proving to be unhealthful. If we can
light our streets and houses with the
contents of the sewers the great problem
of what to do with the sewage of great
cities is in a fair way to be solved. But
it will not do to be too ssnguine.

ALBUMEN. is an organic
compound found both in animal and
vegetable substances. Its properties
are best studied in the white of an egg,
which is very pure form of albumen.
1t also abounds in the blood and chyle.
and more or less in all the serous fluids
in the animal hody; it also exists in the
sap of vegetables and in their seeds,
and other edible parts. Albumen forms
the starting point of animal tissues.
The chief component elements of albu-
men are carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen,
and oxygen, with small proportions of
sulphur and phosphorus. 1t is believed
to be definite chemical compound,
though the exact proportions and the
rational formula have not been definitely
ascertained. Carbon forms fifty-four
per cent of it, nitrogen sixteen, and
sulphur two. The disagreeable smell
arising from the decomposition of eggs
is from the generation of sulphuretted
hydrogen.

FLOWERS IN WINTER. little
preparation for winter flowers. 1t is
surprising what a little fore-thought
will do in this direction. A pot Of
mignonette and another of sweet
alyssum cost nothing, and yet few things
will be found more pleasant and attrac-
tive in the winter season. Plants that
appear unimportant, almost insignifi-
cant, and entirely eclipsed by more
ambitious rivals, when the garden is
ablaze with its summer glory, some
times prove to be very queens of beauty
when transferred to the sltting-room or
the bay-window. The balsam is very
desirable plant for winter blooming,
particularly the white, and toward
autumn we often select cuttings from
few of the finest plants in the garden
and root them in pots for winter flowers.
The stocks are equally good. The
cobea scandens, and nearly all the
climbers. make good winter bloomers.
Mignonette and sweet alyssum may be
sown now. Put from three to six plants
in a pot. Any plants, in the open
ground, that have not bloomed, may be
taken up carefully and potted, shading
few days after potting, and giving a
full supply of water. Look around the
garden, before frost, and if you have
some young and strong plants that
proved little late for outdoor flower
ing that you would like to try in pots.
II so, take them up with as little dis
turbance as possible, and put in good
soil.

VANITT.-Personai vanity is supposed
to be common failing, but that it is
not so general as we are disposed to be-
ieve it to be, is proved by the fact that
people are SO constantly wishing for
some physical attribute which they do
not possess. The stout people write to
their favorate papers to inquire about
some system for reducing their weight.
The thin girls ask the same amiable
authority what will make them plump.
Black haired people slyly purchase
golden hair-dye, and men with red
boards dye them black. The pale
beauty touches up" a little before
going to party, and the rosy one
wishes she did not ''look like milk
maid" The little man is always envy
ing men who have grown to be six feet
three and big men would often give a
great deal for the pretty dapper figures
of those whose growth has not resembled
that of the oak. To get the "wave"
out of curly hair, to get it into straight
locks, to lace in a waist that approaches
the Grecian sculptor's idea of beauty,
and to pad the thin form into greater
bulk, is the task of every ady's-maid.
As for gentlemen-well, well only ask
does nature make their shoulders all
SO square? In fact, to look other than
they were made appears to be the OBJ
ject of the majority of the people. And
if that is the case, how can the human
family be called vain?

THE PoTATo FOR FooD.-By chemical
analysis the potato is found to contain
of water, 759; carbon, 10.6; hydrogen,
1.3; oxygen, 1O.7; nitrogen, 0.3; ashes
90. From this it appears that very
little nitrogen is contained in the potato
and it diminishes the longer potatoes
are kept. If nitrogenized principles
alone contribute to the nutrition of the
body, then one pound of good beef is
equal in nutritive power to 10I pounds
of potatoes. Liebig observes that a
horse may be kept alive by feeding it
with potatoes, but life thus supported
is a gradual starvation the animal
increases neither in size nor strength,
and sinks under every exertion.

A SMILE DIsINFECTAST.-One pound
of green copperas, costing seven cents,
dissolved in one quart of water and
poured down a water closet, will effec-
tually concentrate and destroy the
foulest smells. On board ships and
steamboats,, about hotels and other
public places. there is nothing so nice
to opurify the air. Simple green copperas,
dissolved in anything under the bed,
will render hospital or other places
for the sick, free from unpleasant
smells. In fish markets, slaughter
houses, sinks, and wherever there are
offensive gases, dissolve copperas and
sprinkle it about, and in few days the
smell will all pass away. If cat, rat
or mouse dies about the house and
sends off offensive gas, place some dis
solved copperas in an open vessel near
the place where the nuisance is, and it
will purify the air. Then keep clean.

HARD AND Soft WATKR.-There is a
notion quite prevalent in the minds of
people that drinking hard water is iniu-
rious to health, and most physicians have
warned people to as far as possible
avoid the practice. But DR.. Letherby,
an English physician, who has devoted
much time to investigating the subject
finds as the result of his observations
that hard water is not only clearer,
colder, more free from air, and more
agreeable to the taste than soft, but
that it is less liable to the absorption
of organic matter and to the sustenance
of the life of zymotic organisms, or to
exert solvent properties upon salts of
iron, or upon leaden conducting pipes.
And he claims that the lime salts exert
beneficial influence. 1t is asserted
that practical test of the truth OF this
new theory is to be had in the case of
the residents of mountainous districts,
where the water is most invariably hard,
and where the inhabitants exhibit the
best physical development. He claims
that a water containing about six grains
of carbonate of lime to the gallon is
suitable for use in all household pur-
poses, for such water offers the neces-
sary amount of carbonate of lime for
the support of life in the simplest and
most digestible form.

One PLACE WHERE THE LEAK Is.-

felt as though this little request
which my wife wished to construe as an
act of liberality and kindness, was
nothing more than a duty on my part,
and, under this feeling, 1 could not
possibly refuse, though the want of
money made it almost impossible to
comply with this very reasonable and
modest demand upon my purse. My
salary was good, and, in years agone,

the necessaries and many of the luxuries
of life. / was, in the general accepta-

mere trifes, and could not possibly
amount to much, one way or the other.
1t is true, was out of debt, but, what
was worse, out of money, and the
modest request of my wife seemed to
harrass me to a degree imaginable to
one not in exactly the same fix. The
old adage, "the mickles make the

bly,, and under the peculiar circum-
stances surrounding me, l made firm
resolve to act upon it for the next twelve
