hitherto unrecognized By state are to have
entire liberty of worship. This affects. twelve
million of Russian subjects.
The Russians have sent force OF tw o
hundred Cossacks against the Chinese
raiders at Kuldja. The Cossacks how
ever, hearing Of the assemblage of a
vastly superior force Of Chinese, retreated.
1t is not doubted that the Chinese are
about to develope a military demonstration
towards the Kuldja frontier, on a very
large scale. Thousands of workmen
have been engaged several weeks on
works designed to cause the Oxus river to

7 JOHN HANNAS, being Blacksmith by

whereby could soften iron at the forge, go that

me TO make many experiments with different cub

1t was or one OF these occasions that discovered
the wonderful effects of Electro Silicon on the
Human System.

bent or shnt up in my hand in such manner, by

Jonah's Tomb.

Mr. Hormuzd Rassam has returned TO
England, having completed his second AS
syrian expedition. lie brings with him
rich collection of objects which have been
acquired during the year. The results of
last journey are of moro varied character
than those of any expedition which has
taken place since the early expedition con-
Quoted by Sir A. ii. Layard. Commencing
on the mounds Of Ninevch, Mr.. Rassam
succeeded in exploring site which was re-
garded as forbidden ground. This was the
mound of Nebby Yunns, the supposed
tomb of the Prophet Jonah. In this mound
he discovered remains of palaces erected by
Esdarhaddcn and Sennacherib. Ills labors
on the mounds Of Nneveh have resulted in
the discovery Of large number of inscrp-
tions, many of extreme interest. Passing
southwark, he visited Nimrod, where he
continued his labors in the Temple of
Venus This building, which he discov-
cred in his former expedition, was now thor
oughly examined, and found to be large
open temple, containing shrines of several
deities. There were also found number
of seats arranged IN parallel rows, forming
a centre aisle from the chief altar. The
plan now recovered seems to favor the idea
of it's having been forum where religious
and other councils were held The explor-
ations in Syria have discovered many nonu-
meDts. Mr.. Rassam extended his opera
tions into fields untouched since the time Of
Sir A. II. Layard's expedition, and he was
able to carry out series of explorations on
the mounds of ancient Babylon. Here his
discoveries have been most brilliant. In
mound hitherto untouched he discovered
palace of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, with rich en-
namcllcd columns, beams of Italian wood,
and every indication of having been most
splendid edifcc. His excavations in the
mound of the Birs Nimroud, tho site of the
supposed Tower of Babel, has proved that
the destruction of this great cdifice was due
not to lightning or hostile attack, but to
volcanic eruption, which had torn and shat
tered the ediHcc.

tots and Bushmen. Finally, they set
tied on the southeastern part Of The

borrowed the peculiar sound in their
language called the 'tcliok." Proof Of
this is afforded by the fact that this

Engraving Gems.

We remain as yet some little in doubt as
to the methods employed by old artists to
perfect these miracles of TASTE We have
however, the absolute certainty that these
ancient masters were familiar with tho da-
mond, and their best work was made by
using this, the hardest of all substances, as
a tool A splintered fragment OF the dia-
mond served as scraping tool, and they
were well acquainted with the drill. Pre-
historic man worked at the very commence
ment of his existence. A Ph9nccian gem
"a lion attacking bull--shows how the
drill was used. A number of circular de-
pressons are found in the gems, which
mark the cxtrcmities of the. figures. This
was done not only for the sake Of effect, but
TO show the artist the limit of his work as
to depth After the holes were sunk, the
artist united the various portions .pf his
work by scratching Now the use of the
diamond point or splinter fixed in style or
iron socket, allowed certain flexibibility
of handling, which our modern processes of
gem-engraving do not permit. To-day the
work is done by means of minute retain
ing disk Of copper which is wctted with oil
and diamond dust. On the least applica-
ton of the substance to be cut to the disk,
it Is the disk (which bites into the stone.
The difference in manipulation is, then, that
to-day it is the stone which goes to the tool,
and not, as in olden times, the tool 10 the
stone. 1t Is more convenient, then, in
1879, to bring the cart to the horse. 1t can
now be readily understood why, in modern
work, time and labor being spared (the art
conception not entering for the present into
the subject)- why this work Of to-day Is
inferior to the art which is past 1t is
purely mechanical process now, for ro-
tating disk will no moro draw lines which
have feeling than will photographing pro-
cesses paint pictures. 1t has been stated
that we are not acquainted with tho meth
ods employed, by the glyptic artists. This
becomes quite evident from this fact, that
their best work seems to have been both cut
and polished at ono and the same time.
To-day VIC have no tools, no substance,
which will accomplish this double feat.

An Inter-ooean Canal Invention.

The Moline, ILL.,, Dispatch prints an
account of q new invention by Adolph Toel-
nor of that place, having for Its object the
transportation of ships across the Central
American isthmus. 1t contemplates the
construction of what may be termed dry
canal, In form of a letter V, but having
narrow, flat base, which, with the sides, Is
constructed Of masonry and lined with steel
with q layer Of rubber between. This ca
nal is of width sufficient to receive the larg-
est vessel, and at each end Of the route
slopes gently into tho sea. In this canal or
channel is what he calls movable dry
dock, contructed of steel, built In sections
conforming in shape of the channel, and
supported at the base and sides upon null
titudo Of small rollers, similar In principal
to the skate roller. OF these rollers the
plan calls for over $4,000. Tho movable
dock is to be sunk under the water; the
vessel to be transported is flosted into 1t (;
the hull is supported evenly in the dock by
hundreds Of air bags inflated by a powerful
air pump, by rubber wodg dgesand BY wooden
stays. 1t Is then drawn up the incline by
stationary engines and thence across the
isthmus by powerful locomotives running
onttraoks laid alongside the canal. The es-
tiroAted cost Of a canal built on this plan Is
from $40, O00, 900 to $40, O00, 900.
