How CHINESE IDOLS ARE MADE.-The
Peking custom in making large images,
whether they are OF brass, iron, wood, or
clay, is to construct them with the internal
organs as complete as possible. While the
smaller images are filed with Thibetan in
cense or cotton wool, the larger have the
interior arranged according TO Chinese
notions of anatomy. The heads are always
empty. The chief viscera of the chest
and abdomen are always represented. They
are of silk or satin, and their shape is that
found in drawings of the organs IN native
medical works. A round red piece of silk
represents the heart, whose element Is fire.
1t is the size CT dollar. 1t and the lungs,
which are white, and divided into three
lobes, are attached to a piece OF wood,
round which is wound a piece of yellow
paper, having on it Thibitan prayer. To
the wood is attached, by silk threads of
FIVE colors, metallic mirror called ming
king. This represents intelligence, the
heart being regarded as the seat of mind.
The lungs cover the heart as an umbrella
or lid, as if TO preserve it from injury. In
the abdomen the intestines are made of
long narrow pieces of silk with cotton wool
stitched along the concave border. This
may represent fat or the mesentery. En-
brscing sll like the peritoneum, is large
piece OF silk covered with prayers or
charms. Inside are also to be found little
bags containing the five kinds OF grain,
with pearls, jade, small Ingots OF silver,
and gold OF FIVE candareens' weight, and
bits OF solder of various shapes to repre-
sent silver.

FIRE AND WATER. PROOF PAPER. - Les
Mondes publishes a method of making a
fire and waterproof paper, which. suitably
modified, may be turned TO great variety
Of useful applications in the hands of in
genious persons One third OF ground as
bestos fiber is mixed with two-thirds of
paper paste in q solution of common salt
and alum. The mixture is then passed
into a machine, and the paper there made
is plunged into bath of dissolved gum
lac and then sent through the finishing
rolls, when it may be cnt into sheets. The
salt and alum serve to impart strength to
the paper, and to impart to it fire-resisting
properties. The lac renders it impervious
to moisture without affecting its property
of receiving ink. A little less vagneness
would be desirable in this description. but
there is, perhaps, enough told 20 stimu-
late inventors to make some valuable ex.
periments.

tin Yocum contested election case Messrs
Springer, Sawyer and Co'erick, Democrats
the majority of the subcommittee to which
the case was referred, made report TO the
general committee in favor of vacating the
seat and sending the issue back to the
people. Mr.. Calkins, Republican. reported
in favor of Yocum's right to the place,
and Mr.. Weaver, Greenback, concurred
with him. The general committee adop-
ted the majority report. presented it to the
House, and fixed Tuesday next for it's con-
sideration. Messrs. Field, Overton and
Camp, Republicans, of the general COM
mittee, made a second minority report,
dissenting from the law asserted by Messrs.

luton to the House. They refuse to decide
the issue with any degree Of positiveness,
but close by saying that if the case must
be decided on the facts now before the
committee, they think that Yocum should
be allowed to retain his seat.
