WOMAN AND THE CENTENNIAL,


In the Woman's department. of this exhibi-

of which are practical. The Assistant Super

ers salaries in public schools Let all the States
do the same and woman will soon be placed in
| her appropriate sphere-that will be when her
talents or her energies can be made as available
as those of the sterner sex. The following in
ventions speak for woman's genius more elo-
quently than rounded compliments and
enthusiastic though they be. Agriddle greaser,
bath-chair, life-saving mattress, combination

THE HARMoNIzING INFLUENCE OF THE ExHI-
BITION.
If the exhibition has accomplished many
triumphs in the various fields whose genius and
! industry have held carnival-among the most
| distinguished successes is that of establishing
| and confirming the status OF the Exhibition as
an international and national harmonious
| whole freed from partisan influences, exempt
cd from sectional jealOusiAs and the greatest
latitude conceded to each and all, while strict
| conformation to the spirit of true American
progress is demanded. Yet even this, with a
feeling of conciliatiOn compromise and liberal
ity. The Centennial exhibition may be looked
upon as the great international, national and
Interstate pacfcator of the nineteenth GEN.
fury. Inasmuch as much has been accom-
plished, and so much more can be gained by
this conservative engine, let all unite in
stimulating the grand enterprise to a full fru-
ition of success.
MISCELLANY.
| Pittsburgh, Pa. sends diamond circular
stone saving machine, which cuts in ordinary
sandstone $50 square feet per hour, counting
both sides of the CUT leaving the stone per-
fectly in line, finished ready for the builder,
doing more than can be accomplished by 100
men in the same space of time. Philadelphia
has an impact brick machine, which makes 8
brick with a blow. An important scientific ex-
hibit from Philadelphia is a coal and ore sepa-
| rator. This machine separates all solid sub
stances that differ in specific gravity, and from
| the smallest particles to four inches in size.
From Peru ILL.,, is we'll boring and prospect
| ing machine with which man and horse can
bore twenty feet per hour.
| Philadelphia has chromotype cylinder print
ing press that prints five cOlors at once. PhiIa-
delphia also exhibits a paper collar machine
which cuts, stamps buttonholes and finishes
10000 collars day. Lawrence, Mass,
| exhibits portable steam engines sized to 100
horse power an automatic variable cut off giving
uniform speed. These engines require only 20
to 80 pounds of feed water and to 81 pounds
of coal per horse power per hour. No entries
for the dog show will be received after the 10th
of August those studying dogology or canism,
will be pleased to know that at least $50 settlers
will compete for one prize alone all entries are
free of charge. The Scottish team has been Sc
lected the rifiemen from Australia route,
the Irish and American rifle teams practicing,
the Canadian team has not been made up, but
will participate in the competitive international
rifle struggle on the 18th and 18th of September.
The beautiful frames and bands with orna-
ments inlaid on massive ground and gilt with
| FURNISHED washing gold are the invention of
Alois Scheidt the merit of the invention con-
sists in the ornaments not falling off because
they are preserved massive. Austria exhibits
some very dehcately wrought lace covers for
parasols. The most elegantly cut opals are
from Dubnik, near Eperies, in Hungary. This
place is famous for it's work in opal cutting.
| From Prague, Bohemia, are garnet articles In
handsome setting. Vienna sends an unexcep-
tionaI collection as regards taste in formation
and variety of design, in mother of-pearl
buttons. Vienna completes with France in
her display of calf-skins, which are worth,
delivered at an Austrian seaport-French calf
skins, made in Austria-per dozen, $50 forms,
or $247, rating the form at As cents gold;
white SKINS $247 brown, $247; patent, $3.50.
There must be fine margin somewhere, judg-
ing from the prices obtained in the United
States.
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil sends a collection of
butterflies (Porta Espelhos). The class-insect,
order Lepidopterus, family Nosturnas section
Bombycianous, genus Attaces, subgenus Sa-
turna, species Aurota. This butterfly abounds
in Brazil. 1t produces during each generation
240 cocoons of silk each cocoon weighing ~
drachms and producing 80 grains of fine silk.
The fiber is of yeilowish color; it is strong,
elastic and long; single thread sustains q
weight of drachms, and cord of "a threads
resists the weight of 81 pound. The great ad-
vantage in the cultivation of this Lepidopterus
consists, that the butterfly inclosed in the
cocoon can be preserved and utilized without
breaking the fiber. The Eisteddfod, which
was announced to be held by the Welsh peo-
pie, has been indefinitely postponed, it's mas
ter spirit, Rev. r. r. Williams having been APP
pointed chaplain of the Ohio penitentiary.
Norway exhibits the national vehicle
/ (Kariols) Norwegian for carriage. Our carry
/ all is a corruption of this. The Norwegian
karioZ is far behind the English or American
| carriage, vet have no doubt, is better adapted
| to Norway than would be the more elegant con-
| yevances of the American or English workshop.
