The New Temple at Moscow.

The Khrsm Spaseetelya, or temple Of
our Savior, is now rapidly approaching
completion. The building was begun 30
far back as 1888, and was designed in
commemoration of the French expulsion
from Moscow. Nearly 1000 laborers
for a month were employed in digging
out the ground for the foundations, and
considerable energy was displayed in
building the base, but, after while
operations languished and the work has
gone on, by fits and starts, until 1t has
now reached stage when the architect
can promise its completion next August,
in readiness for the twenty.6fth ami"
versary of the emperor's coronation.
The height of the structure Is 2SS feet,
and the style of architecture is the Rus.
30 Byzantine, the building being in
the form of a Greek cross, surmounted
by Ave cupolas, ono at each corner, and
large one, or dome in the center. The
roof and the framework of the cupolas
weigh l, 800 tons, and the gliding on the
latter has already consumed more than
half ton of gold leaf. 1t will cost all
told. about $lS. 000, 900.

McCull0ugh's Beginning.

John Mccullough began life on his
own account as an apprentice to the
chairmaking business, IN Philadelphia.
Among the workmen in the shop was an
old man named Burke who had read a
great deal, was familiar with Shakes:
peare, and when in his cups was fond OF
reciting passages from the great bard.
He would frequently stab young Nc.
Cullough with a paint brush, and then
recite over him Mark Anthony's Grafton
over the body of Cesar. Mccullough
saws: az became perfectly enraptured
with the man, and made such patient,
accommodating corpse for him that he
finally made me a present OF q copy OF
Shakespeare. From that day the doom
of the chsirmsking business, 30 far as l
was concerned, was sealed forever"

The Tr0tting Boom.

The Spirit ofths Tfnss, in its current
issue, gives a table of all the trotters
that have made 2:25 or better. Editor
tally it makes the following comments:
The number of horses that have trOt-
ted in 1925 or better. in hsrness, at the
close of 1878 was 262. Now this list has
been swelled to embrace 3l7 performers,
an addition in one year of 55. Four
years ago ihe Shirt discarded the 2:3O
list. 1t now looks as If the latter would
be too bulky for publication in any or.
binary work or paper by 1890, as 1t bids
fair to then contain over 1000 names.
The most notable new corners to the
2:25 list are Santa Claus, 2:lS, Trinket,
2:l9t; Eta Jones, 2:20; Moose, 2:2Ot !;
Fanny Robinson, 2:2Oi; Charley Ford,
2:2O3; Chance, 2:2O!; and Gas.
Teton, 2:2l. All of these ami.
mails, with very fast records, had
done nothing worthy OF note before 1879.
From study of this table We CLEAN
one remarkable fact, which Is most
forcible illustration Of the rapid progress
of the American trotter. 1t may be
said that the gait has been fashionable,
and that efforts to develop speed have
been intelligent and assiduous tor about
half century, and yet, after careful
perusal of the list, contsining 8l7 names,
we find only 20 thatwe know to be dead.

How CellulOid IL Made.
From the Journal OF Industry,


Briefly defined, celluloid is species
of so!idified collodion, produced by dis.
solving gun.cotton (pyroxylin) in cam.
phor with the aid of heat and pressure.
The gun.cotton is ground in water to q
fine pulp in machine similar to that
used in grinding paper pulp. The pulp
IL then subjected to powerful pressure
in a perforated vessel to extract the
bulk of the moisture but still leaving it
slightly moist for the next operation.
This consists In thoroughly incorporat.
ing finely comminuted gummed CAM
phOr with the moist gun-cotton pulp.
The proportions employed are said 10
be one part by weight of camphor to
two parts by weight of the pulp. With
this mixture any coloring matters re.
quired can now be incorporated. The
next step is to subject the mass to pow.
erful pressure in order to expel from it
the remaining traces of moisture and
incidentally to effect also the more init
mate contact of the camphor with the
pulp. The dried and compressed mas,
is next placed in q mould, open at the
top, into which fits solid plunger. A
heavy hydraulic pressure ia brought TO
bear upon the plunger, and at the same
time the mixture Is heated by
means of steam jacket surrounding the
vessel to a temperature of about three
hundred degrees Fahrenheit. When the
mass is taken out of the press 1t hardens,
and acquires the extraordinary tough.
ness and elasticity which are the distin-
gushing characteristics of this remarka.
Bic product. Celluloid is very largely
used as a substitute for ivory, which lie
initiated with great success. Tortoise
shell, mslachite, mother.of.pearl, coral
and other costly and elegant materials,
are also as successfully initiated that an
expert can hardly detect the original
from the copy. Celluloid is also used al
a substitute for porcelain in the manu-,
facture of dolls which will stand a good
deal of rough usage without breaking.
Quite recently, too, it has been combined
with linen, and used for shirt bosoms,
cuffs and collars.

The Rest Rubber Boot.

There IL nothing better for q farmer or out
door man than a goodrubb boot, and nothing
30 exasperating az a bad ono. Competition
among manufacturers has led to such cheaf.
ening of quality that until lately 1t was hard
thing to iud rubber boot really worth the
money asked for 1t. The Candee Rubber Co.
of New Haven, o., however, has lately put on
the market a boot designed to meet the call fol-
a real good, substantial article, and to denote
it's freedom from adulterative mixtures II ID
called the "95 Per Cent. Sterling Boot" II IL
made, ON honor, as pure AZ can DO made, and
Ia warranted three months. By an ingenious
oontriyancs q space Is provided at the top OF
the leg for recording the date Of the sale, by
punching holes in the spaces provided-like
railroad ticket-so that there may bs no trouble
about the warrant. The upper and leg OF the
"Ob" Boots are doubled, aud the solos are one
half inch thick, Of solid rubber from toe to
heel. Ordinary rubber boots are barely quar-
Tar inch thick in the thickest part, and only
one. eighth at the shank. A descriptive circular
can be obtained by sending postal direct to
the company; or the "96" Boots can DO found
nj most Of the stores.
