Assaying of Slk.-The assaying the
lengths Of silk is now performed in .
very efficient and accurate manner. by
ruling of some four hundred yards of
the fibre, and then weighing that
quantity: the finer the silk, the lighter.
of course, will these four hundred
yards be. But, as this RossamOr fibre
Is liable to break, beautiful contriv-
ance has been devised for instantly ar
resting the reel on which 1t is being
wound off, in order that il may Joined
and the reeling continued and there is
also an arrangement for stopping the
reels Immediately on the four hundred
yards being obtained.
Equally ingenious and accurate is
the apparatus which has been intro
duced for testing what is called the
'spln'' of the silk-its capability of
being twisted around with great velo-
city without, in any way, being dam
aged in tenacity or strength. The pro-
cess is purely mechanical. A hank of
the silk. on its removal from the boil
ing-off cIstern, is placed upon hook,
and, by means of smooth round stick
passed through it, q rapid jerking mo-
ton Is given to it, which, after some
little time. throws no certain degree
of brightness. This method of testing
its lustre is employed to ascertain its
suitability for particulsr purposes.
Thus, should il come up very brilliant
ly, the article is regarded as adapted
for a fine satin with less lustre upon
it, it is deemed more tit for gros de
Naples, or velvet. In this way manu-
facturers can determine beforehand TO
what purpose they shall apply their
silk. without risk of disappointment or
loss.

Rattlesndke POisOn.-Henry s. We'll
come. in a short notice on this subject.
which appears in New-YOrk scien-
tific journal, says AFTER showing
the fallacy of certain stories which
and by word of mouth, which have
gained credence. regarding the toxic
effect of the spittle of man when ad-
minstered to venOmous reptiles, and
relating the incident of the boot, which
contained serpent's fang and was
credited with 80 fatal a record, you
state that the inventor of this story
did not know that the rattlesnake poi
son is only active when freshly injec-
ted from the poison bag.
1.-The story, Is of course, improbable ;
but the error of your statement is very
clearly shown by ths following expert
ments by DIR. Weir Mitchell, with the
venom of that reptile. He says that
1T is difficult to conceive of the singu-
lar energy of the venom of the rattle
snake without carefully conducted ex-
perimental research, or of the tenacity
with which its powers are preserved in
the presence of violent chemical rea-
gents and extremes of heat and cold.
The dried venom retained its potency
after two years of climatic changes !;
nor was its action in any degree
changed by strong sulphuric and hy-
drO-chlOrlde acids, ammonia, chlorine
water, soda, or pOtassa. Freezing or
prolonged boiling in no way impaired
its deadly qualities He used the ve-
nom after five years keeping, and
found it unlnjured.

LrGur wASrED.-A large number OF
Unmarried Young men would be pleaseo
TO know whether they are to wall ior
invitations from the other sex, or
whether they can pay their own way
into the Unity Leap Year Party. They
are considerably exercised over the con-
undrum. and are already beginning to
look pale and detected. One says, NOW
here is what upsets me. 'Sposin iauy
invites me to go. | say yes Too.y
soon up comes another and invites uie;
I say, well, the fact is, you see,
can't;' and then she'll say, 'Of course
YOU can't refuse, the very idea, ana ;"
on. Then I'm In nice kettle OF mack,
erel. Then again, 'sposin' the giri
| want to invite me don't get around
until it's too late. That would be rough,
YOU see." An answer is requested from
the management TO these soul-harrow-
ing propositions.-Sdn Jose Mercury.
WHY SHE DIDN'T SMoKE.-Old Mrs.
Duflicker stated to neighbor, the other
night, while comfortably sitting In front
of the fire, that she had callers had a
great notion to learn to smoke" she did
so love the ''arOmy Of tobacker." she
added: III would hev learned long ago,
dear knows, but l heard wunst that a
man had his tongue paralyzed oy
smokin', and that skeered me out. Lord
knows 1 wouldn't want my tongue
paralyzed, fur 1 couldn't talk none If it
was" Here the old gentleman, who
had been silently gazing into the fire,
drew long sigh. There's no telling
what the old fellow was thinking about.
EASY ARITHMETIc.-In Lady Woods
new novel, Bsiotc the Salt, one of the
characters gives definition in arith-
metic that will be quite acceptable 10
our young lady readers. Edgar Is
speaking to Pleasance:
Snow kiss you three times on one
cheek, and four times on yonr mouth.
How many did that make altogether 2"
"Seven," whispered the girl, disen-
gaging herself to breathe more freely.
''Ihat is arithmetic" said the youth,
triumphantly.
"Dear me-" said Pleasanee, 81 should
not have thought it."

armed men near the water line that We might have
taken fearful revenge had we been so vengefuIl!
disposed, or had the necessity OF saving the
Waeanda compelled to fire. Happily though,
our friends, not without loud rcmonstrance and
much wordy alteration, embarked in safety and
followed us to Musra Island. Here the chief came,
and, learning our wants and our objects, sent on
three punches OF bananas which he presented to
us, and then left to our fate.
MTEsA's FLEET.
In the afternoon we sighted our Grand Admiral
Magassa with a large feet of canoes, padding
slowly to a neghboriEg island, where he camped for
the night. DESTROYS OF quickening his movements
sailed from Musira Island for Alice Island, distant
thrty-fve miles. The two chiefs of our escorting
canoes accompanied us a mile or two, and then,
alarmed by the aspect OF the weather. turned back
shouting to at the same time that as soon as thu
wind moderated they would follow us.
FISH SUFFER-.
1t was near midnight when arrived at Alice
Island, and by steering for light shore We for.
tunately found a snug, well sheltered cove. The
light we discovered was that Of fire made by some
Bumbirch fishermen curing fish. My men were 80
hungry that they resolved to seize this food to the
great alarm ana terror Of its owners / restrained
my people and quoted the fears OF the fishermen by
paying double price for quantity Of fish suflceni
for days provisions for the boats crew.

When daylight came we found ourselves at the
foot OF huge becting cliff, and discovered that wo
had taken shelter near kind ofpenthouse formed by
overhanging rocks, which were now blackened with
the smoke of many fires The natives Of the island
came down to visit us, holding out wisps OF green
grass as a sign OF peace and frenduness. But
though they were friendly enough they were
tortionate in their demands that gained nothing
by their friendship, and were compelled to depart at
noon with every prospect Of starvation before us,
unless Bumbireh Island "a large and popuous island
miles,, to which / determined to SAIL furnished us
with food.
