OTHER NOVELTIES.
Owen Jones improved revolver
carries the construction of this use
ful weapon to completeness which
seems the nc pt,ts wltr0. The in
gonuity expended on it is exhaus-
tive. The pistol rejects exploded
cartridges, while it retains those
which are not fred, refuses to ro-
volve when empty and releases the
cylinder when required with facil-.
ity MT hitherto attained. It is ap-
parcntly able to do anything but
load and fro itself
A characteristic Yankee notion is
a bookholder for keeping books in
their place on n shelf. Two plates
of sheet iron soldered together in
an inverted r. form, answer this
purpose perfectly and are brought
together to suit the books. The
weight of the books on the flat limb
of the L keeps tho keeper in place,
and the books may be crowded
together between pair Of them
with considerable compactness.
A locomotive of novel construction
will receive the attention OF railway
men, and for sections where the

great boon, for it literally burns

effected BY widening the fire box

THE DANGER or BOXING THE Ear

THE DANGER or BOXING THE Ear
Scarcely u day passes, we believe,
without somo schoolmaster Tor
schoolfcllow, in natural imitation of
his mastery, giving Il lad smart
0oc upon the ear. Few persons
would be bold enough to choose the
eye as q part upon which it was ex-
pedient to inaict violent blow by
way of moral education but there
is, apparently, no end to the num-.
bor who select an organ upon
which violence is liable to be attend ded
with much more dangerous results.
For not only is deafness caused by
do"es, which rupture (as they con-
tinually do) the drum of the ear, but
tho inflammation of the internal
cavity, which is SO frequent result,
may be followed years aftcrward,
perhaps, by disease of the bone,
giving rise to abscess Of the brain,
and having fatal termination.
Medical men alono can be fully
aware bow fruitful source of suf-
fering and danger is represented by
the box upon the ear. We are in
formed, for example, of two cases
under observation at tho present
moment, in which schoolboys have
been victims Of such assault. Sure~
ly, school masters ought to have
learned, long Gro this, the danger of
q mode of personal chastisement
that has apparently usurped the
place Of others, which, if more dis
gusting, were not attended with an
equal amount of peril.-Lomdon

AMERICAN GOLD PENS.

AMERICAN GOLD PENS.
They who have learned to use the
American gold pens will appreciate
the excellence of tho only bettor
substitute for tho gray goose quill,
but the nice processes by which it's
perfection is is attained will be less
easily understood. Tho process by
which it is produced is not one of
scientific elaboration or brilliant
invention, but of laborious expert
ment and thoroughness and con-
sciontiousnoss Of manufacture which
wo arc not genorally disposed to
credit American manufacturers
with. First, an alloy is formed
which can be hammered to degree
of hardness which makes it almost
Incapable Of further impression from
the hammer. The pen re-
duccd to it's general form
by the die then receives Il point by
ailoying with iridium of adaman-
tine hardness, which is then cut into
two and the slit produced, when the
pen is hammered to the highest
point Of elasticity, the peculiar alloy
used being, it is said, one which will
condense under the hammer without
spreading, uatil it has received the
m 'ximum Of density alluded to, and
the pen is then FURNISHED into shape
under Il burnishor giving q pressure
OF about Il hundred pounds weight,
the effect of which is to secure the
shape finally given against any usage
by cqualzing the density of the
metal throughout. After use Of
these pens Of various manufacturers
running over u period Of moro than
twenty years Of literary occupation
L am able to say that not one has
ever fa;lol except from gross ill
treatment. The exhibits of gold
pens are an indispensable and
characteristic part of any collection
of the important American indus
| tries.
