IT Is stated that there is a large estab-
lishment in Wisconsin where three mills are
kept constantly rinning an building paper,
having capacity for the making Of sixteen
tons per day. The paper employed In this
manufacture is thick hard pasteboard,
wound in rolls Of twenty-five to hundred
pounds each, and usually thirty-two inches
wide. While in process of manufacture, 1t
is subject to a pressureof hundreds Of tons,
which congresses the fibres together into
one solid body, thus making an absolutely
air-tight sheet, of the greatest frmness and
durability; and, as paper is one Of the best
non-conductors known, it resists the action
Of both heat and cold, and SO a building
lined with it is made warm in winter
and cold in summer. It does not shrink
like lumber, and is not affected by frost,
cold, heat, or dampness; and It'll known
that it viii not burn as readily as wood, on
account Of it's hardness and solidity, and
by its use house can be made extremely
tight ...... ..

In THE production of steel tools, 1t is
found thatfor every variation of heat, which
is great enough to be seen, there results q
variation in grain, and for every such varla-
ton in temperature, there is great liability
for cracks. The effect of too high heat is
to open the grain and make tho steelooarse;
the effect Of an irregular heat is to cause
irregular grain, irregular strains, and
cracks. As soon as the place is properly
heated for hardening, It should be promptly
and thoroughly quenched in plenty OF the
cooling medium-water, brine, or oil, as
the case may be; an abunda lance Of this
cooling bath, to do the work quickly and
uniformly all over, is essential to good and
and safe work. To harden large piece
safely, running stream should be used;
much uneven hardening is caused by the
use of too small baths. The lowest heat is
the best for any steel.

A GERMAN newspaper announces the
introduction of new and valuable dyestuff
into the market, under the name of cosin.
It is characterized, In solution or upon pure

IN a most decided manner the attractions Of

of glistening greenish scales, readily solu-

Of % yellow dyestuf, precipitable by

ST, PAUL CHURCH.YARD, LON.
il ., DON.

What is now called St. Paul's Church
yard was surrounded before the fire by
shops of booksellers, who have since betaken
themselves to Paternoster-row, Ave-Maria-
lane, and Amen Corner, on the north Of the
church, so called, says Stow, 'because OF
stationers or text-writers that dwelt there,
who wrote and sold all sorts Of books then
in use namely, A B 9, with the Paternoster,
Ave, Greed, Graces, &C." At the corner OF
of Cheapside and Paternoster-row was, till
1s4s, the Chapter Coffee-house," OF much
literary celebrity, where authors and
booksellers Of the last century were greatly
wont to congregate. Here also the club OF
the "wittenagemot" was held which was
much frequented by physicians of the last
century. In the room which, bore the
name of the club, the famous DR.. Buchan,
author of Domestic Medicine, used to see his
pstients-a man "of venerable aspect, neat
in his dress, his hair tied behind with q
large black ribbon, and gold-headed cane
in his hand, realizing the idea OF an
Esculapian dignitary.". 1t was at the
Chapter Coffee-house that the famous
"Threepenny Curates" could be hired tor
two pence and cup of coffee to hold service
anywhere within the boundary. Paternos,
ter-row ESQ called from the rosary makers y
is still the booksellers paradise. Its
entrance is still guarded by the establish
ments of Messrs. Blackwood and Nelson,
and mighty bust of Aldus presides over
the narrow busy pavement, while every
window at the sides is filled with books,
chiefly Bibles, prayer-books, and religious
tracts. The Church Of st. Michael le
Quern, Paternoster-row, destroyed IN the
fire, derivedits name from the use in the
od;o,nino market of the handmill Of Scrip
ture; it continued to be employed for the
grinding of malt till the time of the Com
monwealth. John Leland, the antiquary,
was buried in this church. GOOD Words. ''

4 PORTBAIT7 OF MARIE ANTOIN7
EIIE. -

In, 1879, Nine. Ls Brun was summoned
70 Versailles by order Of the Queen. of
whose personal appearance ahe gives a min
ute description: "Marie Antqqinette was
tall and admirably proportioned; her arms
were magnificent and her hands and feet
small and exquisitely shaped. No woman
in France could walk as she did not one
displayed, 80 perfect av combination Of
majesty and grace. Her feature ss were not
regular she had the long and narrow oval
peculiar to her family and to the Austrian
Face, with small blue eyes, a delicately-
chiseled nose, and not too large mouth,
though the lips were somewhat thick. The
most striking characteristic Of her face was
its brilliant complexion; her skin was so
transparent that never succeeded in imi-
tating it to my satisfaction, fof, whatever
colors I employed, it was impossible ade-
quately to render it's dazzling fairness. !"
The first portrait painted BY Nine. Le Brun
represents the Queen in satin dress with .
large hoop, holding rose in her hand;
this was destined as present to her broth
er, the Emperor Joseph, and was followed
by several others. The artist was then
near her confinement; and one day, in her
anxiety not to keep her illustrious model
waiting, happened to let fall her box of
colors, SO that all its contents were scat
tered on the floor. As she was bending
forward to recover them Marie Antoinette
checked her, saying that STOPPING might be
prejudicial to her In her condition, and
picked up every article herself. ut would
be difficult" continues Nine. LIE Brun, "to
describe the winning charm of her manner /;
never remember her omitting to say some
thing pleasant to those who approached her,
and her kindness to myself personally am
not likely to forget" The Queens last
sitting was for the picture in which she Is
shown surrounded by her children, and
which was exhibited IN 1888; it was after
ward removed to Versailles, and Nine. lie
Brun was presented on that occasion to
Louis XVI. IT am no judge Of painting, F."
he said to her, "but you, madame, have
made me admire it," This work was sue
ceeded by the portraits of most of the royal
family, and by that Of the unfortunate
Princess de Lamballe. ''Without being
pretty" observes our author, ''she appeared
80 at q certain distance; she had small
features, fresh complexion, and an
abundance of fair hair, and was altogether
remarkable for her elegance and grace.

'SCTENTIF1O.

Hot WATER FOB TRE SHRMKna On
WHEELS. The expansion Of tires by hot
water, though not claimed to be- new, is be-!
ueved by the author to be much superior
to the ordinary method Of using fire. As
applied on the Moscow-Nijni Railway, an
iron tank, one fourth filed, with water, Is
nxed near astationary boiler, q steam pipe
from which Is led through II, capable Of
heating the water to 212o Fab. Into this
the tire is plunged by means Of q portable
crane, and after an immersion from ten to
fifteen minutes, is taken out and immedi-
ately placed on tho wheel. Three men
only are employed, who win FIX from twelve
TO fouteen tires in day Of eleven hours.
The allowance for shrinking (the differ
ence between the diameter Of the skeleton
and that Of the tire) is 0. Is millimeter to q
meter. This is ascertained by guagss Of
great accuracy, and, II dsviated from, the
tire will be either loose after cooling or
too. small to get on the wheel When fire
is used, the tire can never be heated equally
or cooled equally In all parts and In CON-
sequence is sure to be more or less oval In
form, which is not the case in hot water.
The above railway made comparison be-
tween the two, the results of which are
given. It appears that, during a six years.
trial Of fire-shrunken tires, 81 per cent. ran
loose and per cent. were broken; while
during three years trial Of water -shrunken
Tres less than ! per cent. ran loose, and
only single tire was broken. The ia-
bility to breakage in the former (produced
by the irregularity in fom) Is much insisted
ON by the author as being, of course, more
dangerous and costly than the loosening of
the tire. ..p .'t -" rsa I rrrr .

A Commission, appointed to report on
the boiler explosion at La Villette, Paris,
have attributed It to an insoluble deposit,
composed chiefly Of calcareous soap,
which formed near the opening Of the wa
te1 fesd-pipe, and which was due to the
nature of the feed-waters.. Some of the
water was furnished by the city, and con-
tanned oalcareous matters; some came from
condensers, bringing fatty particles from the
machines, in which they had been used as
lubricants. The commissioners cite num-
erous accidents which have occurred during
the last ffteenyears, all of which are at
tributable to the same source. They there
fore, think it important that all manufac-
turers should be warned Of the danger, and
if they are obliged to use such a mixture of
waters, they should use all possib BILE precau-
tions, such as the publication of The cal
careous waters by carbonate of soda, the
filtration of the condensed waters by pass.
