Removing Boiler demonstrations.

In order to remove incrustatiOns from the
tubes of locomotives, marine and other steam
generators, Herman Esser, says the London
Mining Journal, proposes to cause the tubes to
revolve in contact with a number of compar-
atively small hard bodies. For the purposes
Of the Invention pebbles are suitable. To
effect the removal eXpeditiously the tube is
caused to revolve rapidly, and a receptacle
containing the pebbles is traversed to and fro
along the tube, the pebbles being pressed into
contact with the tube, and being kept wet by
means Of a stream of water. In an apparatus
designed for the purpose a bed similar in form
to a lathe bed is provided with fast and fol-
lowing headstocks. The spindle is provided
with a scroll chuck or a suitable chuck for
gripping the tube. For convenience the spin
die is held by means of a detent and wheel at
the time when the tube has to be inserted or
removed. The following headstock is fitted
with a spindle which is free to revolve in
bearings, and IS provided with a cOnical end
takes the thrust. A sliding carriage carries a
perforated cradle which holds the pebbles.
The cradle is provided with a hinged or re-
movable cover, which, when in position, is
pressed towards the tube by means of a spring
or weight. The parts are so formed and
arranged hat the tube is entirely surrounded
by pebbles, which are pressed against the
tube. A water pipe or cock is connected by
means of an lndiarubber tube with a water
supply pipe, or is otherwise so connected that
the movement of the carriage will not inter.
rupt the water supply. The carriage is trav,
ersed to and fro during the rotation of the
tube, and the abralding action of the pebbles
removes the incrustation, and the particles
removed are washed away by the stream OF
water. A receptacle to receive the water and
mud is formed below the cradle, and the re.
ceptacle communicates by means of a pipe or
spout with a gutter, which ms along the bank
of the bed and conveys away the water and
matters removed from the tube.

Ingersoll.

James Redpath tells the following anec-
dote about Bob Ingersoll's powers over a jury:
a farmer was On trial for murder. He had
shot one of his %neighbors dead. | have for
gotten the details. The evidence was con-
elusive as to the killing and who did it: but
it could be construed to show that the slayer
might have been acting in self-defense.
When Colonel Ingersoll was addressing the
jury he drew a poetical picture of his clients
wife and children at home-he had refused to
allow the wife or children to be present, as a
less skillful advocate would have done--and
then he said that even at that moment the
loving wife was standing at the door, with the
sunlight on her face, waiting to welcome the
husband back to his tireside, and the little
boys were swinging on the gate and looking
from time TO time along the road, expecting
to see him come, and jump into his arms and
kiss him. And won't you let him go homer"
he asked. The jury were listening with moist
eyes, and leaning forward in their seats. The
foreman, a great, sturdy farmer, with tears
rnning down his sun-browned cheeks us if
the question had been asked for immediate
information-nodded his head, and said ::
eyes, by thunder. Bob, We'll let him go home
to EN-"
Ingersoll had not half finished his argu-
ment, but he sat right down at once. The
Prosecuting Attorney made a long speech in
reply, but OF course it was no use-the de-
PENDANT was unanimously acquitted.

The Result OF Getting Mixed.

A young lady gave "her young man a
beautifully worked pair of slippers, and he
acknowledged the present by sending her his
picture encased in Il handsome frame. He
wrote a note to send with it, and at the same
time replied to an o~ft-repeated dun for an
unpaid for suit of clothes. He gave a boy
ten cents to deliver the package and note,
giving explicit directions as to the destination
of each. 1t was a boy with a freckled face,
aud he discharged his errand in a manner
that should give him a niche in the temple Of
fame.
The young lady received a note in her
adored ones handwriting, and flew to her
room to devour its contents. She opened the
missive with eager fingers, and read:
"Im getting tired of you everlasting atten-
tons. The suit is about worn out already.
1t never amounted to much anyway. Please
go TO thunder"
And the tailor was struck utterly dumb
when he opened a parcel and discovered tie
picture of his delinquent customer, with a
note that said:
"When you gaze upon the features think
how much l owe YOU"
When the unfortunate young man called
around that evening to receive the happy
acknowledgment of his sweetheart, he was
very ostentatiously showed off the steps and
over the fence by the young lady's father, and
in the morning he was waited upon by his
tailor's lawyer, and imperatively ordered to
settle or suffer.

Home POliteness,

A boy who is polite to his father and moth
er is likely to be polite to every one else.
A boy Taking politeness to his parents may
have the semblance of courtesy in society, but
is never truly polite in spirit, and is in danger,
as he becomes familiar, of %betraying his real
want of courtesy.
We are in danger of living too much fort the
outside world, for the impression we make i'll
society, covering the good opinion of those
who are in a sense a part Of ourselves, and
who will continue to sustain and be interest
ed in us, notwithstanding these defects of de-
pertinent and character.
We say to every boy and every girl, cult
vate the art of courtesy and propriety at home
in the sitting room and the kitchen, as well
as in the parlor, and you will be sure in other
places to deport yourself in a becoming and
attractive manner.
When one has a pleasant smile and grace
full demeanor, it is a satisfaction to know that
they are not put on, but that they belong to the
character, and are manifest at all times and
under all circumstances.

THE WEEKLY MINER.
somewhat doubtful and the army may yet be
called upon to settle the question.

callcu upon u Sctble Lle question:. n.
BANGOR, Maine, Dec. 26.-Some excite
ment was caused here to-day by reports of
the intended removal of the arms and am
munition from the State Arsenal to the depot
for transportation to Augusta. About 5 p. m.
two truck teams, loaded with arms and am
munition, were stopped on Kenduskay bridge
by a crowd which rapidly increased so that
.ie street was filled with people declaring that
the arms should not be carried out of the city.
Mayor Brown demanded of the teamsters the
orders under which they were acting. A
man named French pushed through the
throng and said he was a clerk in the Adju-
tant-GeneraFs Office and was moving the arms
to Augusta under orders from the Governor.
The excitement was greatly increased by this
statement and the crowd attempted to I'M
harness the horses. The mayor told French
that he had not force enough to guard safely
the munitions if the attempt to remove them
was persisted in, and said he would take no
responsibility in the trouble that might ensue.
French decided it was best to return the arms
to the Arsenal rather than incur the hazard
of a riot. So the mayor furnished police to
protect them on their return.
Boston, Dec. 27.-An Augusta, Maine,
special to the Herald says: "The bitter
feeling and chance of trouble seems to in
crease rather than diminish. The Governors
letter to ex-senator Morrill, does not mean so
much as at first sight it may appear to. He
expresses a willingness to refer points that
have not already been adjusted, but it is un-
derstood he believes these points are ex-
tre,nely few and that he has the decision Of
the court to back nearly every case. This
leaves hope for a peaceful settlement though
Morrill, regards the plan as a decidedly faint
one,
