= yiea OF FanninE.

Did you ever notice the different styles
of tanning affected by the people in
church? There is Mrs. Placidite, whose
fan opens to It's fullest extent, moves
back and forth with all the easy tran
quillity of an old fashioned clock pendu.
lum; while the fussy, jerky pendulum
of the modern timepiece is well symbol
lied by the quick nervous strokes of
Miss Marrinot, who sits near. And Just
beyond is Deacon Jones, with his capa-
cious stomach resting upon his knees.
II fan is held at arm's.length, his hand
at level with his eye, the palm-leaf
sending its breeze waves along the entire
facade of his overheated body. Miss
Tuchmenot's fan nutters like a fright
ened bird, and Miss Daintiwun holds
one corner of hers pinned to her right
shoulder, jealous of every lparticle of
the little wind that her feeble move
ments succeed in raising. Mrs. Marri-
wells fan moves with languid grace
to and fro, without so much as a sus-
picion of a breeze. There Is no shading
in her tanning. The back strokes and
the forward strokes are all alike. Then
there is the generous tanner, who scat
ters her windy iavors on all about her,
the sentimental tanner, who fans not at
all but uses her fan as a ncse-rest, and
she gazes over it in melancholy resigna-
ton; and the fidgety tanner, who fans
furiously for hall a mir ute and then
shuts her fan with a snap, only to begin
her work again at the end Of another
half a minute. These are but few of
the family of tanners. Their name is
legion and their methods are DIVERSE

LOndOn's ssEiery Mine.o

IL is a "fact not generally known
that there is in London fiery mine
of so very excitable disposition that
no artificial light of any description has
ever yet been allowed to be brought
even into its neighborhood. Its pro-
duct, however, is not coal, but rum.
The rum-shed, as it is called, of the
West India dock, covers a space of two
hundred thousand square feet, with
vaults of corresponding size, all
crammed with huge casks OF spirit,
from every pore of which-and the
most carefully-closed have pores in
plenty-the fiery vapor is forever
streaming out into the air. only begging
for the smallest chance of converting
the whole area of the docks, with theiv
two hundred and fifty odd ships, and
two or three hundred Thousand tons or
so OF cargo, and their more or less in.
calculable stores tin Der and tea, silk
and sugar, cigars and cereals, Goals and
cotton, wine, wool, whisky, whale fins,
and what not, into the most magnificent
bowl OF snap-dragon ever imagined in
infant nightmare. Into these fiery
regions not even IA bulls-eye lantern is
or ever has been allowed TO penetrate.
Even the wharf along the side where
the great puncheons are landed is for
hidden to the approach of vessels, every
cask being transferred from ship TO
shore in the company's own lighters.
Each cask in that vast range OF dim drak
vaults is marked and numbered, and on
the right reading OF these marks and
numbers depends the efficient execution
Of every one OF, the numerous operations
to which every individual cask has
been subjected before its contents can
go forth for the mixing of the wor Ids

How n Snake Moves.

A snake when on the ground moves
often with considerable rapidity. The
head is slightly raised, and the body
and tall progress by means Of the
peculiar grasping power of the skin and
ribs of the underneath parts, which en-
ables consecutive contraction and eion-
CATION TO occur. The movement is more
or less fiat with the earth, and the snake
never coils upward, as is often figured
in old and some new paintings and en-
cravings. 1t can erect its head and
much of its neck and fore part of the
body, and this is also done when the
creature is in horizontal coils and
quiescent. On moving up a stone or
tree the head, neck and much Of the
body may be placed against the more or
less vertical object, and a small portion
only of the body may be left on the
ground, but in this position the snake
is liable 10 fall sideways. On moving
up a tree they do not coil themselves
round and round 1t like a rope, but they
may do this when still. 1t is wonderful
how snakes move along and between
boughs, and, taking turn round one
with their tail end, swing and look for
food, and also how they will make
themselves up into bunch on fork of
a tree, and remain there without falling.
They swim in an undulating manner,
but the body is wriggled on the same
plane as the surface of the water. and
not at right angles to It, but in rushing
at their prey, both in the water and on
land, there is more or less upward or
downward bending of part of the body,
and rapid thrust OF the head forward.

Diamond Cutting in New York.

Among the curious and interesting. In
dustrial facts brought to light du ng
the census inquiries not the least is the
fact that the recently introduced art of
diamond cutting has been so admirably
developed here that diamonds cut in
Amsterdam are now sent TO this city for
recutting. Hitherto Amsterdam has
monopolized the work of diamond cut
ting; and the aim there has been TO re-
move in cutting the least possible weight
of the gem. The American plan is to
cut mathematically. according TO the
recognized laws of light. so asIto secure
the utmost brilliancy for the finished
stone. The greater loss in weight, as
compared with the Amsterdam cutting,
Is thus more than made good by the
superior brilliancy ofthe product. From
inquiries made by the chief special cen
sus agent, it appears that the average in
crease of value given to diamonds by the
New York cutting is 5000 for each
person employed for twelve months;
also, that our dealers are receiving the
best Amsterdam-cut gems from abroad
to be recut here and returned Scientific
american.
