TIE sad announcement is made
from England of the death of the
only daughter of General Grant
Mrs. Nellie Grant-Sartoris. Her
marriage with Sartoris, young
Eli glishman, few years ago, is we'll
remembered. 1t was regarded as a
genuine love match, and, as far as
anything of the domestic affairs of
the young people is known, it proved
a happy alliance, the husband being
warmly devoted to his wife, who bore
him two children, the last of whom
was born only few days ago. The
melancholy news Of her death will
reach General and Mrs. Grant on
their travels on the other side of the
globe, and those who know their warm
affection for their children can read
lily imagin the severity of the blow
when .he sad tidings shall reach
them.
LATER. LONDON, Aug. 1S.-Tne
announcement of the death of Mrs.
Sartoris, the daughter Of General
Grant, is not true. The mistake
arose from the death of Mrs. +. w.
Sartoris, formerly Adelaide Kemble.

have been temporising with theMor-

Many hundred thousand dollars are

Il Gas Clock.-lt Is said that there is
q clock In the quildhall Museum, Lon
don Of which the motive power is hy-
drogen gas, generated by the action of
diluted sulphuric acid on ball Of zinc.
The clock resembles large colored
glass cylinder without any cover, and
about half full of sulphnric acid.
Floating on the top of this acid IS a
glass bell, and the gas generated forces
forward this concave receiver until 1t
nearly reaches the top of the cylinder,
when, by the action of a delicate lever,
two valves become simultaneously
opened. One Of these allows the gas to
escape, thereby causing tho receiver to
descend, and the other permits a fresh
ball of zinc to fall Into the acid. The
same operation Is repeated as long as
the materials for making gas are sup
piled, and this is affected without
winding or ma,ip. ,ation of any kind.
The dial plate Is fixed to the front of
the cylinder, aud communicates by
wheels, etc., with small glass per-
pendicular shaft, which rises with tho
receiver and sets the wheels In motion.

Pretty Girls for Sale at u Church Far.

1t has grown into 4 fashionable Gus
tom Of late to have mock auction sale
Of the pretticst girls at church festivals.
1t tends to increase the resources OF the
church, and ut tho Same time very
clearly demonstrates In which way the
affections of youth are bent. For it IS
reasonable to suppose that no ambitious
young man Nill permit his sweetheart
to be knocked down to II rival until he
has expended his last cent In the effort
to become the fortunate purchaser.
Acting upon this idea, Il fashionable
church In Denver is preparing for a
festival, In which the auction business
Is to form prominent feature. 1t has
put the young ladies in quite huttcr
OF excitement, and unhappily at this
early stage Of the novelty-for, however
common in the East, it Is a novelty there
has come very near wreeking the
future happiness Of two estimable
young creatures. The facts In the case
are these:
= young gentleman who confesscs to
an amiable weakness for one of the
young ladies who are to be disposed of,
on the occasion referre.l to, called on
his dulclnea few evenings since, and
very naturally the subject of the fcstl-
val came up.
"Pm to be sold, Charley. Did YOU
know it?" exclaimed the cnchantress.
"No! Are you though? suppose
] shall have to buy you.n
"Of course. But how much do You
reckon will soil for?'' -.
This was naive inquiry, but 1t led
t" moment of brief but sagacious
speculation. If he had any rival the
girl was likely to 60 high if he didn't
have any 1t would appear as if no was
investing In an exceedingly cheap
article.
81 don't know" the words were long
drawn out and his face was grave. "I
suppose dollar or two."
If he had reflected a moment longer
he never would have made this obser-
vation. 1t was born, however, of a
sense Of economy, and he had no idea
OF what 1t would lead to. But as the
words fell from his lips he looked at his
inamorata and caught the flash of indig.
nant blue eyes, which made his heart
sink..
One or two dollars, indeed! III sell
for fifty at the very lowest"
~ can't buy you then"
"Sir!" and the lady's face was rigid
with amaZement.
"That isl mean to say--confound
It, Maria, can't spare that much
money!" and the poor fellow looked an.
pealingly at the divinity whicn was
about to shape his purse. But the dis.
aster had come. The young lady rose
from herJseat like a Queen and with the
cruel remark that gentleman who
thought so, much Of fifty dollars, was
not suitable person to encourage as a
lover, sailed majestically from the
room. !, ,l ,,s u.s,.S 4
And now the young mans soul Is
convulsed with anguish. and hts re-
marks upon church festivals are fear
fnl to contemplate.

The system of subterranean telegraph
wires designed by the postmaster gen.
eral of the German empire will be COM
pleted, according to present arrange
ments, In a year and half. Two lines
will then traverse the empire diagon-
ally; the one running from northeast
to southwest, from Konigsberg to
Strasburg, the othcr from northwest to
southeast from Hamburg to Ratibor, a
town In tho extreme south Of Silesia.
These two main lines will cross one
another in Berlin. In the west of the
empire a subterrancan telegraph will
run In curve from Strasburg therugh
Cologne to Hamburg; in the east an
other line will connect Konigsberg
with Ratibor; and finally, cable Will
traverse southern Germany, running
generally east and west, though appaI
entity the exact route for this last rele-
graph has not yet been definitely
decided upon. When the proposed
scheme is completed, therefore, all the
fortrcsses aid commercial towns Of any
Importance In Germany will be con-
nected with one another by snbter-
ranean wires. The cable first laid
down, that from Berlin TO Halle, has
been satisfactorily subjected to the
severest scientific tests.

Glass Thread.

10 make fine glass thread, the glass
is brought to a state Of fusion, a glass
rod dipped In 1t and thus thread pull
ell out, which soliditics first in It's
thinncst parts, and so causes thread
of uniform thickness to be obtained. If
this thread Is placed over a hot metallic
cylinder, and the latter revolved, any
length of thread may be obtained; the
thread may be obtained finer by re-
volving the cylinder more rapidly. The
heating of the cylinder has the effect of
anncaling the glass to some extent,
while the rapid cooling, If wound on a
cool cylinder, would make 1t more
brittle. a bundle Of such threads look
like bunch Of silk and 1t has there
fore been called glass silk. Its useful
ness to chemists and druggists has
lately been brought to the notice of the
French Societe dc Pharmacie by NJ.
Limousin. 1t is now largely used in
Germany, and especially In Austria,
for altering liquors in laboratories. In
the microscope the threads are as fine
as those of silk or flbrillm of cotton {;
they break more easily than the latter,
I but are excessively supple. From tho
unalterability OF the substance it is
| very we'll suited for tiltering acid or
alkaline solutions, even concentrated
and various olher substances, such as
nitrate Of silver, albumen, collodion.
Peh1ing's liquor, etc. 1t affords great
raptdity of flow, with good filtration :;
1t docs not, like filters of paper or
tissue, communicate organic matters
to the liquids, altering and perhaps
giving them disagrceable taste. 1t is
much preferable to ebestos, which from
the arrangement Of It's parallel fbrcs.
cannot be formed into a flexible ball
and which lets fragments pass that
float In the liquid. For analysis It Is
very advantageous, allowing of a ready
determination of insolublo matters de-
posted; also by calcination and fusion
OF tho glass may be found the volatile
principles fixed In the passage of the
liquid, unmixed with ompyrematic
products. Notwithstanding tho prico
Of glass, silk is still high, It is no great
expense to use 1t, as Its excessive light
ness admits Of a considerable number
OF alterations being made with a email
weight of 1t; besides 1t may serve an
indefinite time, If, after each operation
1t is thoroughly washed with water and
dried In the air.

Tho Making OF Bells.

Only two metals are now used in
large bells, tin and copper. The Bel
CLANS use 20 to 80 per cent. OF tin; the
English lean to more tin, % to 81 per
cent. Tin makes the bell sound bright
but 1t also makes 1t brittle, and the rea-
son why the English can afford to put
in more Of this brittle element Is be-
cause they,make their bells thicker, as a
rule; and the reason why they are
made thicker Is, that instead Of being
merely chimed they are swung around
OH q wheel, which brings tho hammer
with great force upon the bell. If we
treated the delicate Belgian bells in
this rough fashion we should probably
crack them, though If 1t were known
that they wolld be swung, the Belgian
makers would doubtless thicken them
to order; they are not meant in Bel
gium to be whacked like big drums,
but to be struck with hammers from
PIP to e, like pianoforte. They reson-
ate more easily than English bells, re-
QuIring gentler stroke to elicit their
full tone. Ina word, the Belgian bell
Is a musical note, not a gong or drum.
Secondly, the thickness and general
proportions of the bell are Of the ut
most Importance. Bells vary from LILO
to l-l2 Of the diameter at the thickest
part of the sound-bow, and tho height
Is commonly about twelve times the
thickness. English bells are, roughly,
as broad as they are long, If you meas
nra lianatnr from nntailo ri fr y,
and length from rim to top of canon.
But In truth the thickness Of the bell ut
different levels Is all important. The
thickness near the top Is as Important
as that of the sound bow, and the di-
ameter of the crown as critical u d.
mension rs that Of the rim. The deep,
rich tone, Gin proportion to sIZe) OF
the smaller Belgian bells is probably
largely due to the wide top-diameter,
combined with the thinness in certain
portions of the sides halfway down.
The way in which altering the thick
ness affects the tone, and even the
pitch of a bell, Is shown by the fact
that a sharp bell can be hattened by
shaving Off the metal inside above the
sound-bow; and MIR. Lewis says that
he has destroyed beats by scooping the
bell elsewhere until they disappeared at
Il certain point, but that OH continuing
to scoop they reappeared. All this
shows how purely tentative and expert
mental is at present the art of bell
founding In England. In Belgium it
is not scientific, but cmperlcal, the ac-
cumulated experience Of ages. A GER
tain tact or rule Of thumb takes the
place of science; rules must be founded
on principles, but the masters cannot
explain their secrets. They produce
the work of art, others are left to dis
cover the laws they have obeycd.
When we have analyzed their methods
we may be able to make their bells. So
thought the Germans when they meas
urcd and analyzed Raphael and Tinte-
ret, and produced the correct but life
less bandlites Of AIRY Schctfer; so
thought Vuillaume when he initiated
the very worm-holes In the Amatis. 1t
may turn out that In the making of
rich musical bolls, like those of Van
Aerschodt, there IL something which
cannot be taught-tho instinct, the in
communicable touch.
