Plaster of Paris casts, soaked in melted
paraffine, may be readily cut or turned
in lathe. They may be rendered very
hard and tough by soaking them in
warm glue size until thoroughly satur-
ated, and allowing them to dry. Plaster
of Paris mixed with equal parts of
powdered pumice stone makes a fine
mold for casting fusible metals; the
same mixture is useful for incasing ar
ticles to be soldered or brazed. Casts
of plaster of Paris may be made to imi-
tate fine bronzes by giving them two or
three coats of shellac varnish, and
when dry applying a coat of mastic
Varnish, and dusting on fine bronze
powder when the mastic varnish be-
comes sticky. Rat holes may be effect
ualy stopped with broken glass and
plaster of Paris. The best method of
mixing plaster of Paris is to sprinkle it
into the water, using rather more
water than is required for the batter;
when the plaster settles pour off the
surplus water and stir carefully. Air
bubbles are aYoided in this way

,..4 There is ddiis
Ne KnJ7sr.ti.tC life in all its phases is
fundamentally the same, vet those
phases are, in the main, so far as we
are concerned, unchangeable, certainly
not transmutable. Even if the COM
mon origin of the horse and the zebra
should be demonstrated beyond the pos
sibility of a doubt, we should be no
better able TO transmute zebras into
horses than we are now. Soifit be DEM
onstrably true that the two phases ofone
matter-stuf, like silver and lead, have
resulted from the cosmi cal processes
of material evolution, acting through
the cycles of the past, the probability
of our being able to change the one
into the other would be scarcely great
er than if they were fundamentally dis
tinct. The chemical behavior of the
different sorts of matter is quite inde-
pendent of any theoretical notions with
regard to the ultimate constitution of
such substances; and chemistry will
remain substantially what it is, what
ever may be the outcome of the inves
legations of Mr.. Lockyer and those en-
gagged in similar work. By this we do
not mean that the prevailing theories
and practices of chemists may not be
materially changed-such changes are
the necessary result of increasing
knOwledge-but simply that the popu-
lar talk about the radical overturnipg
of the science, Is the result of Mr..
Lockyer's alleged discoveries, is sheer
nonsense, even if his utmost expecta
ton should be realized. --Sctentif

inconsistent with the regnition of any

DURING the month of April there
were folded in the house document
room over a half million of speeches
made by members on the political
issues. These speeches are printed
by private printing establishments in
the city, but the government furnishes
the envelopes and pays for the folding
of the phamplets. The recent debates
have made rich harvest for the page
boys, who obtain from the mem
Der the privilege of having his
speech printed. The boy then
collects from members who
want to send off copies of his speech
at the rate of ten dollars a thousand.
The boy who had Garfeld's big speech
had subscriptions for 100000 copies,
on which the printing house gave him
a commission of 500. Blackburn's
speech ran up 10 bUOOO Hurd to
$4,000, Carlisles S has reached 5000.
Robeson's was not subscribed for by
many members. 1t was too legal
in its character to suit Re
publican tactics. Carlisle's and
Hurd's speeches were decidedly
legal, with nothingot the stump speech
in them, yet the Democrats sent them
broadcast. This is an illustration of
the manner of submitting the issue to
the people by the two parties. There
have been so far about one million
pamphlets published of the speeches
in the house, and nearly half as many
of those made in the senate, up to this
time.
