table showing the number Of deaths in
Philadelphia during the Is weeks of this
winter, compared with the deaths during
the same period OF the preceding year
The months of December, January and

Indeed, manufacturers regard this as an

upon calculations Of a construction OF five

1879, and the renewal Of nearly as much

from the receipts Of the preceding month,
and OF 5000 tons from the large average
OF 1870. At the same time the total Is
about 1000 tons larger than for the same
month last year. The very large decrease
in the ore receipts Is only attributable to
the close OF navigation, and the short sup
ply Of ore at the lake ports. The other
items are larger than what might be ex-
pected under ordinary circumstances at
this season.

The lake was fed 10y numerous springs along

ELECTRO GLIDING.

Electro gliding in various cOlOrs may be
readily effected, says The EnGiaecr, by adding
to the gold bath small quantities of copper
or silver solution until the desired tint Is
obtained. A small quantity of silver solution
added to the gliding bath causes the deposit
TO assume pale yellow tint. BY increasing
the dose of silver solution IL pale gIccnish INT
is obtained Copper solution added to the
gold bath yields warm red gold TINT. II IS
recommended to use II current of rather high
tension such as that of the Bnnscn battery
