ADemaaogue.

This is Holyoke's picture of a dem.
agogue: "a demagogue is man
voluble and vehement in speech ;
more plausible in advocating meas
ures than wise in choosing them; un-
scrupulous in his alliance with all
who will serve his immediate objects
extreme in his views; magnificent in
promises ready with theories and
proposals of sweeping change; rest
less in agitation, but impatient of OBJ.
scure labor aiming at immediate and
SNOWY results which may keep up his
popularity; loose and random in his
way Of living; not safe in peouniary
affairs. although he may have no in

A Mine Owners Mistake.


A man now prominent merchant oil
Virginia City won at poker an unde-
velOped gravel claim near Nevada City,
worth in the neighborhood of two hun
bred dollars. His friends had the laugh
on him for several days regarding his
investment" and asked him what pro-
portion of the taxes he would pay in case
they accepted the property as a gift.
He finally got mad at their incessant
guying, and told them they would see
he was not such fool as they took him
for before he got through with that
mine. He then wrote to some capitalist
acquaintance that he had a claim worth
a fabulous sum, which he would sell for
$4,000, being hard pressed financially.
The bank was next visited, $500 worth
of gold-dust and nuggets bought, and
the claim thoroughly sFsaIted.'' When
the intending purchasers arrived they
prospected the ground a little, and the
panning-out was attended by big clean
ups. They paid the $4,000 the same
day, and got possession OF the ground.
Work was at once begun, and they took
out $4,000 inside of three weeks. The
''salter - was so taken aback that he
did not smile for a month, and the par
ties to whom he confded his shrewdness
at the time of its preparation never
meet him to this day but they ask him
if he has another gravel mine to SELL

APULsE MEASURES. "A young ply
stefan in this city has invented and per
fected a curious little instrument for OBJ
serving and measuring the pulse-waves
of the human circulation, which, in sim
plicity of construction and application,
takes precedence of all the instruments
forthis purpose so far producedb by human
ingenuity A minute disk of hard rub
Der firnlyzfxed to the base of a grad
uated tube, such as is used in the man
ufaeture Of Thermometers, forms the es-
sential part of the instrument. At the
base, where the rubber diaphragm is
adjusted to it, the glass tube is. some
what expanded in diameter as to form,
with the diaphragm for a tioor, recep-
table capable of holding a few minims
! of water eolored with carmine. The re-
mainder of the tube has the internal di-
anleter of that-of our ordinary medical
thermometer. When the disk Of the
instrument is placed firmly upon or
against the wrist, the vibrations of the
tissues beneath caused by the artery IS
communicated to it, and the cOlored Ii

physician the force and particlar de-
scription of each wave. Simple as the
instrument is, its delicacy and accuracy
are marvellous, while there are no, adj

ZINCOGRAPHY FOR AMATEURS.-In a
recent paper read before the London
Society of Arts, Mr.. Thomas Bolas, F.
G. S., described ZincogrOphy as sim
pie and easy mode of printing in the
following fashion: Typography, he said,
is similar to photography, except that
a zinc plate is employed in the place of
the photographic stone. The so-ealled
transfer paper is merely a moderately
fine paper which has been brushed over,
on one side, with mucilaginous mix
ture prepared by boiling together the
following: Water, 1000 parts; starch,
100 parts igamboge. six parts glue, one
part. This paper is written upon with
the ordinary commercial photographic
writing ink, which has been rubbed up
with water like an artists water-color.
The writing being dry, it is necessary to
mOisten somewhat the back of the trans
fer by means of a damp sponge after
which it is laid face downward on a
sheet of ordinary roofing zinc, which
has been previously cleaned by means
of emery cloth. Both being now passed
| together under the roller of a small
press, the transfer adheres to the metal
hplate; but rons dampening the-vback of
the paper it becomes easily removable,
leaving the writing on the zinc The
face of the zinc plate is now gently rub
bed over with mucilage Of gul1a-arabic,
which is all the better for being slightly
sour, and the excess of gum having been
sponged off, an india-rubber linking
roller, charged with ordinary printer's
ink, is passed over the still damp zinc
plate q few times. The ink takes only
on the lines of the transferred writing,
and it isnow merely necessary to lay a
Sheet of white paper on the plate and TO
pass both through the press to obtain
an impression-an exact reproduction
of the original writing. Any number
of copies can be printed by repeating
the operations of dampening and linking.
The photographic process, thus simpli-
fed, is rapid, economical and within the
reach of every one. sftal4s
