An important Scotch interest has
loomcd up namely, the production of
naptha, parratllng and ammonia from
shalc, the latter being found in immense
quantity In various localities, the most
famous being remarkable TOR it's rich
ness in oil. 1t is found traverslng tho
nppcr Dcvonian shalc, but 1t Is met
with most extensively in connection
with the coal measures. The oil Is In
great demand, and realizes good profit
Tho value of solid parratline Is wcll
known. Liebig, the great chemist,
said that If any ono succeeded In pro-
ducing 1t from coal 1t would be one of
the greatest discoveries of the age.
This has been accomplished, and from
shalc Is obtained white, dry colorless
substance, portable, and capable Of be-
ing burned in lamp. Among the vari.
Gus works in Scotland, nearly 800, 900
tons Of shale are distilled annually,
producing nearly 30,O00,00O gallons
Of crude oil, from which are OBJ
tained some l2,QQO,QQQ Of refined

Annedling I0ols.-It is well known
that glass acquires remarkable tough
ness by being annealed in oil and that
a high degree OF hardness Is conferred
upon metals by similar process. 1t
is said that engravers and watchmakers
Of Germany harden their tools in seal
ing wax. The tool Is heated to white
ness and plunged in 0 wax, Withdrawn
after an Instant and plunged in again,
the pro cess being repeated until the
steel is too cold tO enter the wax. Tho
steel Is said to become, after this pro-
cess, almost rs hard as the diamond,
and when touched with little oil or
turpentine, the tools are excellent for
engraving, and also for piercing the
hardest metal.

Paper Car wheols.

The paper used is straw-board OF
rather fine texture. It is received in
the ordinary broad sheets, differing in
one particular from those usedforstraw-
board boxes or other similar work.
These sheets as they come from the
paper mill are square, and must first of
all be cut to a circular pattern. This
is rapidly done on q board table, with
knife which ls guided by radlal arm
that swings freely over the surface OF
the table from pivot at the centre.
A small disk is also cut from the centre
of the sheet to allow for the iron hub.
Being thus reduced to the required
shape and dimensions, the paper must
now be converted from a mass Of loose
sheets into com pact, dense body ,capa-
bic OF withstanding the tremendous
crushing force to which it Will be SUBJ
jected In the wheels. This is accom-
pltshed in the following manner: Ten
sheets are pasted tegethor, one upon
another, making disk about one eighth
of an inch thick. Enough of these
disks having been prepared to fill a
powerful hydraulic press, they are sub
jected to pressure OF 1,800 pounds to
the square inch. When removed, the
disks are hung out on poles in a steam
heated loft, and left six days to dry.
Thicker disks are then made, each form
cd by pasting together two or three of
those already finished. These are pres
sed and dried as before, and the pro-
cess Is repeated until a block is built
four inches thick, and of about the
specific gravity of lignum vitae. After
each pasting and pressing six days are
allowed for drying, and when the block
is complete it is left III Grawing-room
until thoroughly seasoned. The next
operation is that Of turning the paper
blocks to fit the steel tires and iron
hubs. This is done in lathes with as
much accuracy and in exactly the same
manner as If the material worked on
was iron or wood. The circumference
Is turned to q perfect circle Of the pre-
else diameter required, bed or recess
rest in, and the surfaces are left hard
and smooth and the edges sharply de-
fined. The block is then painted and
is ready for It's place in the wheel.
The iron hubs are turned in Il lathe to
specified gauges: and hub Of any
given gauge will therefore answer for
any wheel Of the corresponding size.
The tires are of steel. They are bolted
to the paper by an inner rim or 1lange,
and are turned to perfect circle.
Plates of thin boiler iron are bolted to
the paper to prevent expansion.

The cause Of suicide is often hard to

what prompts the rash act. The cause,
however, can be traced unquestjonably

Our Diet.

1t is a well established fact that In
every effort we make, however slight,
whether 1t be muscular, respiratory, or
mental, there Is IL corresponding loss of
tissue. Now this waste, az it passes
out of the body by the various exccre-
tons, Is found to contain certain con-
SLituents, rs nitrogen, carbon, various
salts, &C., which are exactly similar
to those which enter into the compost
tion Of the blood and tissues of the
body; and therefore 1t follows, that In
order to repair the waste which is con-
tinually' going on, these constituents
must enter into the food taken. Some
articles arc rich In nitrogen, as for cx-
ample, meat and peas; some are rich
IN carbon, as suct, sugar, &C., while
others contain both these clements In
various proportions, and are called
mixed, of which the best examples are
milk, rice, potatoes, and various meals,
IA oat meal, wheat meal, barley meal,
&c.. heterogeneous food builds up aud
repairs tissue, rs flesh, muscle, &c.,
while carboneous food, by process of
combustion, serves to assist respiration,
and is called the respiratory food
Certain salts are also necessary, to
form and sustain the solid frame
work and nerve and tissue, and these
arc found In common salt and various
vegetables. Diet, therefore, to be
wholesome and nourishing, must con-
tain these three elements as well as
some fat and water. But there arc some
other points about diet as well as Its
chemical compositions which rcuuircs
some notice. First, 1t should be regu-
lar and not hurried; second, it should
be sufficient in quantity; third, it
should be adapted to age. Regularity
OF dietis most important, as nothing
contributes so much to produce indi.
gestion as irregular meals ,and too much
haste In taking them. For an adult
three meals day are sufficient and the
hours should be so arranged as to haw
as far as possible an equal interval be.
tween each meal. Children rcuuirt
food more frequently. With regard tc
quantity, much depends on tho nature
of the work done; the greater the WORK
the greater quantity of food required
to repair it. The quality of the foot
must always be good, and be of {
mixed character, to fulfil tho condi.
tIons already mentioned. Children re-
Guire different diet to adults. In In
lAncy milk contains all that is necessar,
for ITS nurture; as they grow older
other matters have to be added, to Civ,
it mixed character. Finally. s
healthy diet should be free from eSces,
generally, and should not consist O.
0 e GLASS OF food only, to the exclusion
vi others.

CARE AND FEED OF DUCKLINGs.-As
soon as the ducklings are well our Of
the shelf, whether the mother be hen
or duck, coop them up in COOP with a
pen. The ducklings cannot climb over
the slide OF pen, and should be con-
fined TO 1t about a week, Water that
has had the chill taken Off may be sup
piled In shallow pans, and the duck
!1ngs Will dabble around In it and en-
Joy it. Have your duck coops as tar as
convenient from the stream or pond :.
and they must be moved at least three
times a week to fresh ground. After
the ducklings are week old, if they
had hen mother, the pen may be
opened on pleasant days after the dew
ls OH the grass, and the mother and her
brood allowed liberty to wander around
In search of food. BY the time they
are six weeks old their under feathers
vii! be out, and they may be allowed
unlimited range. Rats. cats and
weasels show remarkable fondness
tor ducklings and you have to look out
Tor them. You can trap the weasels,
circumvent the rats by housing the
duckllngs at night III ratprOof coops,
and when you catch stray cat making
dinner of young duck, give her lead
pill to help on digestion; amputation
OF the tail just back of the ears Will also
cure pussy of this bad habit. Duck
lings are great eaters, and will eat al
most anything In the shape of food.
Feed cooked food with plenty Of green
food, until they are old enough to give
free range. Almost any kind
OF food which you would
give to chicks and young turkeys
Is good for kucklings. Until they take
to the pond or stream, nnless insects
forage is plenty, feed a little cooked
meat. Feed often, but never give all
they can possibly swallow, sometimes
ducklings will eat until they kill them
selves. After they take to the water
the duckling will pick up large
amount of the food that uits them best,
and for this reason ducks are most
economically raised In the neighbor-
hood Of ponds, streams, wet marshes,
or near to the sea. Duck can be success
fully and proftably raised with only
water for drinking, but when they
have plenty Of water to swim in after
they are old enough, they will be
cleaner III plumage, and no doubt,
aside from the food that they pick up
In such places, they enjoy sporting in
the water.
