The cold wave in New York.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-The present cold wave, which originated in the Northwest on Saturday, has since steadily grown in inten- sity in this city. Those whose business called them out doors walked briskly well muf1ed up. The sidewalks and all the road way along Broadway were slippery as glass, and many horses lost their footing and fell. The heavy gale which prevailed yesterday and last night has greatly subsided, although the temperature is much lower, registering 150 at a. m., 250 at noon, 19o at midnight,

had been robbed of every article OF val

cabin where was lying was entered by
q man who, in answer to questions, said
that had been put on the vessel which
was on Chesapeake Bay, by my friends,
who said that 1 had killed man in Bal

found that was on board another ves-

Antioch, Capt. Weeks, bound for Hong
Kong"
Billmire says he was treated web by
Capt. Weeks, who allowed him 20 help
the steward do the cooking for. the
ships crew. They reached Hong Kong
on Jan. 10, 1880, and, loading with rice,
sailed for Victoria, British Columbia,
where they arrived on June last, and
Capt. Weeks furnished him with suit
of clothes. He had previously given
him IS. He started from Victoria for
San Francisco, where arrived on June 8.
Four DAYS after reaching Victoria he
wrote TO his wife in this city, giving .
brief outline of his adventures, which
substantially agrees with the above.
Harry Billmire, a son of the missing
nan, while fishing in Jones's Falls, last
May, fell overheard and was drowned
before assistance could be rendered, and
his death was unknown tn his father be-
fore his arrival here. He accounts for
the length of time between his arrival in
San Fancisco and his arrival here by
saying that he was penniless and had TO
work his way to Baltimore. Many
members of the church credit Billmire's
story. He has wife and five children

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

DURHAM, N. c., expects to handle
$4,000, 900 pounds of this years tobacco
crop.
| PHosPHoREscENT writing-paper is a
late novelty. Writing done upon it can
be easily read in the dark.
DURING the year 1879 the earnings OF
| railroads in the United States were over
1923, 900, 900, or nearly double the en-
tire revenue of the National Govern
| ment.
ACCORDING to the superintendent of a
factory in Canada, where paper is man.
| ufactured from wood, the paper, so i'm
proved has the process become, can be
made ready for use six hours after the
cutting of the tree.
LIME has never been found in ma
tive state; it is always united to an acid,
as to the carbonic in, chalk. By subject
ing chalk or limestone to red heat it
Is freed from the acid, and the lime is
left in a state of purity.
FLORIDA fruit-growers are beginning
to cultivate the lemon with great deal
of care, and with such good results that
it is believed that in little while longer
this State will furnish almost as many
lemons to the trade as she now does
oranges.
THE pachymeter, lately patented in
Vienna, which determines the thickness
of paper to the one-thousandth part of
an inch, is outdone by the micrOmeter
caliper, now coming into use in this
country, which determines the thickness
of paper or any thing else to the ten
thOusandth part of an inch.
JAPANESE paper air-cushions are said
to have some advantages over those
made of rubber. They may be rolled
into package of smaller dimensions
when not in use; they will not stick to-
gether as rubber does after it is wet,
and for pillows they are better because
they have no odor. Their strength is
very great; man weighing 160 pounds
may stand upon one without bursting it.
They are said to be waterproof, and to
make excellent life-preservers.
AN improved method of stopping en-
gines, says the Electrician, has recently
been devised. The main object of the
device is to enable any child or unskilled
person in any part of a mill to stop the
engine in case of accident. The action
is exceedingly simple. By touching q
spring similar to the spring of an cleo
trio bell, an electric ball is set in motion.
The ball drops and shuts one of the
valves, which prevents the steam from
escaping, and the engine is brought to
standsti1l.
BUT few people comparatively have
any idea of the amount of timber used
in the construction of single railroad.
1t yearly takes 10000 acres of forest to
supply cross-ties for the railroads of the
United States. 1t takes Is, OO0,0 900 ties
to supply the demand on our railroads,
for which on an average the contractors
get 35 cents apiece, making in the ag-
gregate $5,25O,0O0. In building a new
road the contractors figure on 2,7O0 ties
to the mile, while it taxes 300 ties to the
mile to keep constructed road in re-
pair. Contractors, of course, buy pieces
Of timber land as near to the proposed
line of road as possible, paying for tho
timber an average Of about 800 per acre,
or giving the proprietor 10 cents for ev-
cry tie got out. The average of q good
piece of timber land is 200 ties to the
acre and twelve ties TO the tree.
