SENSIBLE TALK.-Reader, do you
want to know which of the business
men of Eureka feel the hard times the
least? You Will find their names re-
corded in the advertising columns of

IN a business man disseminating his
advertisement, because Of the hardness
OF the times, As there would be in IA

his wagon because OF the bad condition
Of the roads. tighter the times the
greater need of making yoar business

NEW E-tep ascopIo TrLEscoru.-str. c.
3. Boyle recently exhibited before the
Photographic section Of the american Insti.
tuta in New York, a new opticai instrument,
which he called the microscopic telescope. IT
consisted Of two parallel telescopes, about
three feet in longth and two inches in naper-
ture, connected with hinge, at the ends,
and separated to the distance of the eyes by
an adjusting screw. In order to produce
the effect of the microscope, he places. be-
fore the object glass. prismatic lenses OF
about three feet focus. SO that, when these
,ersos are in position. an object three feet
in front Of the object glass will be seen
with both eyes distinctly, and magni-
fed according TO the power OF the eye
piece.
With this instrument, although but lately
completed, he has already made one curious
discovery = that no matter how long a
sponoe may have been used. no matter
how long it may have been kept dry, its
life is apparently restored when it Is wet.
The sponge being wet With warm water
and placed in q warm room, the extremi-
ties of the sponge, after 2 little while, ap-
pear to be alive, and reach out like SO
many snakes The longer they are, the
greater the motion. lie had observed that
wcttng the sponge with salt water seemed
to increase the motion. Nearly half Of all
the slender points seemed TO come to life,
but after they become Dig the motion
ceases.
He has put upon a sponge all sorts Of
dust SO that they should be under the
same circumstances as the pores of the
sponge, but nothin, but the pores OF the
sponge appeared to be in motion. Under
the instrument, the sponge has no longer
the appearance Of sponge; it appears
Like caverns, rocks, etc. These moving
parts, when causht with pliers, would pull
out portion OF the sponge. When there
is much water in tn. sponge, they seem to
be satisfied, but It is rs the sponge ID dry
ing gradually that they appear to have
life.
The power Of this instrument was forty

There has

CuE1osIrIEs OF WELDING. There has
lately been shown in this country very
interesting specimen of blacksmith work.
By means of Sehier oh 8 welding compound,
it is alleged that, in one example of bar
of Bessemer steel, five different kinds OF
iron and steel have been perfectly welded
without changing its shape in the least
The bar was rolled into form at Thompson s
steel works, in Jersey City, and is ! by p
inches in the cross section.
First, piece Of Bes6emer steel, cut from
the end of the bar, was welded fast to 1t
again, the heating and weldin.; occupying
eight minutes. On the reverse side of the
bar piece Of fine cast steel was welded in
six minutes. Further along on the bur a
piece of blister steel was welded in eight
minutes; This same stc4l cannot be weld
ell with Lorax az the high temperature
needed with the hux makes it as brittle as
cast iron under the hammer. Opposite
this a piece of wrought iron was welded in
six minutes, and further along on the bar
piece of cast iron was welded in three
minutes. This was a piece Of the mold
bo4rd of plow. The br, with its addi-
tions, WAS then ground and polished on the
edge, s. as to show the points at which the
welded metals came into contact. No weld
was visible on any one of them, and the
difference in the metal could only be told
by the color after polishing. This solves
a great many important problems in iron
manufacture, among others the welding OF
Bessemer scrap.
