By about the middle of next May
the public will have seen the last of the
present three-cent postage-stamp, and
begun to get accustomed to one that is
red, or possibly new tint This change
has been rendered necessary, as stamp
washers take off the oily cancellation
without acid or alkali and use the stamp
again. A series of experiments just
completed convinces the Postal Depart
ment that green is the poorest color to
be found. With the change Of color
there will be change of design. The
medallion head of Washington will be
retained, but it will be relieved by an
open scroll of white, and the scroll.work
will have different pattern.

Two curious needles are, owned respec-
lively by the Emperor Of Germany. (King
of Prussia) and, the Queen of England.
The first was manufactured in the presence
| of it's present owner, the Emperor, while he
was visiting q needle nauufactory in his
kim gdom, in order to see what machinery,
combined with the human hand, could pro-
duce. He was shown number of super
fine needles, thousands of which together
did not weigh half an ounce, and marvelled
how such minute articles could be pierced
with an eye. But he was to see that in this
respect even something still finer, and more
perfect, could be created. The borer--
that is, the workman whose business it is to
bore the eye in the needle-ssked for a
hair from the monarch's head 1t was
readily given, and with smile. He placed
it at once under the boring machine, and
then handed the singular needle to the u.s.
tonished King. ~,
The second curious needle, now in pos
session of Queen Victoria, was made at the
celebrated needle factory at Redditch, and
represents the column Of Trajan In minia-
ttre. This well Known Roman column is
adorned with numerous scenes, inscplpture,
which will immortalize Trajan's heroic &C.

THE MOONS OF MARS ANTlOl.
PATED. 4 ,t.5

There are two curious anticip ations Of
the late discovery. One is well known
swift's account (probably corrected in this
place by Arbuthnot, for Swift was no arith-
metician) of the discoveries made by the
Laputan astronomers. They have. like
wise discovered two lesser stars" be says,
''or satellites, which revolve about Mars,
whereof the innermost is distant from the
centre of the primary planet exactly three
of his diametres, and the |outermost five;
the former revolves in the space Of 10
hours, and the latter in %, SO that the
squares of their periodical times are very

of their distances from the centre Of Mars.
which evidently shows them to be governed
by the same laws Of gravitation that inlu-
enoesl the other heavenly bodies" The
othsris from voltair's Micronegas Historic
Phlosophiqx. The Sirian giant, with a
saturnian friend, visited the neighborhood
of Mars: ''Ils ootoyerent Ia planete de

all doubt both these pleasantries had their
origin in the idea thrown out by Kepler in
1910. when Galileo announced to him the

has been to obtain more etfeotual lights for

structing an 'argand sAantern for this

engine guages, and other parts Of ships.
In these modified forms chimneys are used
for the sake of economy Of construction,
but the chimneys, are, Of such a shape, and
so secured in metal collars, that they are
not likely to be broken by any ordinary Nse
or handling. The same results which have
been obtained with colza-oil can also be
obtained with petroleum; but this is objec-,
tionable On shipboard, on account of it's
tendency to saturate woodwork by spiling
and leakage, and thus to make ready the
way for accidental fres . For railway sta
tions, however, for railway signal lamps,
and for all domestic purposes, petroleum is
perfectly applicable, and its comparatively
small cost renders it advantageous. Mr..
silber has applied the construction which
prevents his masthead lights from being
affected either by wind or, oscillation to
petroleum lamps for household purposes,
either for carrying in draughty passages OF
for use with open windows or on lawnsoi
gardens. The burners of these lamps have

Hor WATER FOR TIRE SHRNKNa %
WHEELS. The expansion Of tires by hot
water, though not olaimedto be new, is be-
lieved 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
fixed near stationary boiler, steam pipe
from which is led through it, capable of
heating the water to 2l20 Fab. Into this
the tire is plunged by means of . portable
crane, and after an immersion from ten to
fifteen minutes, is taken out and immedi-
,ately placed on the wheel. Three men
only are employed who will fix from twelve
to fouteen tires in day of eleven hours.
The allowance for shrinking (the differ
2ence between the diameter of the skeleton
and that Of the tire is 0. 7b millimeter to q
meter. This is ascertained by guages OF
great accuracy, and, if deviated from, the
tire viii be either loose after cooling Oh
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 a comparison be-
tween the two, the results Of which are
given. It appears that, during six years.
trial of 6re-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
,nly single tire was broken. The lia-
bility to breakage in the former (produced
by theirregularity in form)i is much insisted
on by the author as being, of course, more
dangerous and costly than the loosening OF
the tire.
