Three Strata Of Cities.

IT is well known by all students of
geology that our earth has been grow
ing thicker by the gradual deposit of
mineral and other matter in the bottom
of oceans and great inland lakes. Some
of these deposits in past ages, called
the Silurian and red sand stone, are
many thousand feet in thickness. The
highest mountains are the youngest in
the world history, because they lifted
up with them this greater thickness of
earth, which did not exist when the
older mountains were forced upward.
Prof. Schliemann, in his explorations
on the site of old Troy, dug through
three tiers of cities. The upper one
was evidently modern, and it's relics be-
long to recent civilization. The Sec
ond, Prof. Schliemann believes to be
the Troy of Homer, for it is full of rel
les of weapons described by Homer, and
of household vessels mentioned in the
Had. The third city belongs to pre-
historic times, when barbarism pre-
vailed, and stone weapons and utensils
were in use, like those found in ancient
caverns and in the sunken villages of
Swiss lakes.
We can understand how strata are
formed at the bottom of the ocean, or
how Pompeii was buried by the erup-
ton of Vesuvius. But it is not so easy
to explain how cities are buried over q
hundred feet deep by the slow working
of natural laws. Youths Companion.

A LOngish Canal.

Commodore Marshall Parks, of Vir.
ginia, is preparing a map showing the
present condition of the inland naviga-
ton of the United States east of and
including the Mississippi River. He
says that by moderate expenditure of
money continuous inland channel,
free from the dangers of Hatteras,
could be made from New York to Flor
ida, thence across the Peninsula of
Florida, utilizing the present inside
route to New Orleans, up the Missis-
sippi River through the Michigan Canal
to the lakes, from Buffalo by Erie canal
to Albany and by river to New York;
thus making an entire circuit of the
United States east of the Mississippi
River for steamboats,, torpedo boats
and transports. Commodore Parks de-
signed and constructed the Albemarle
and Chesapeake canal which unites the
waters of Chesapeake Bay near Norfolk
with the sounds of North Carolina. BY
the construction of the fourteen miles
of this canal the inland navigation was
extended 1900 miles. There is no tow
path on this canal, steam only being
used. II has practically solved the
problem of the use of steam on canals
and its extension further south, as may
be seen from the above will be of very
great service to the country.

A Lady's Startling Adventure.

Mrs. Cannon, wife of Mr.. VIII Can
non, of the Robinsonville neighborhood,
was or her way home from church on
horseback last Friday evening, when
she felt something stick her in the face,
and supposing it to be limb of a tree
threw up her hand to ward it off. While
undressing for bed after her arrival at
home, she was Mortified to find rattle
snake in the sleeve of her dress. The
reptile dropped out ON the floor and
was killed. The lady had not previous
ly felt much inconvenience from the
slight abrasion ON her face, but it now
commenced swelling and became so
painful that physician was called in to
attend her. 1t is supposed the snake
had taken refuge in the tree and that it
bit her and transferred itself to her
sleeve as she rode under it. When we
last heard from Mrs. Cannon she was
still suffering some pain, but it was
hoped she would soon recover Waco

A Valuable Discovery.

The London Times gives most in
teresting account of scientific inven-
ton by Mr.. George Bower and his son,
the latter of whom has improved his
fathers work. 1t has been known for
some years that coating of magnetic
oxide of iron, produced upon surface
of metallic iron, will protect the iron
from all atmospheric influences. Moist
ure will not act upon it at all, and moth
ing short of red heat will affect the coat
ing. Two or three years ago Professor
Barff succeeded in producing such a
coating upon iron by means of super
heated steam, but the appearance of the
iron so covered was such as to forbid its
being employed for any purpose where
that was consideration. The new
process, devised by Mr.. Bower and per-
fected by his son, accomplishes the OBJ
ject of protecting the metallic surface,
and at the same time producing beau
tiful French-gray tint, which obviates
the necessity of painting the articles
treated. The process, which is not &C.
cret, consists in heating the articles to
be coated in closed chamber by means
of carbOnic oxide, heated air being
made to enter the chamber for the
double purpose of burning the gas and
for combining with the iron. The ex-
cess of air, after burning the carbonic
oxide gas, combines with the iron, form
ing first the magnetic oxide, and then
the hydrated sesquioxide, or common
iron rust. By shutting off the supply
of air until only enough is admitted to
burn the carbonic oxide, the rust is con-
verted into the magnetic oxide. The
process is repeated until the film is suf-
ticiently thick for the purpose of protec-
ton. The application of this invention
has been undertaken on a large scale,
the chamber where the oxidation is
now carried on being large enough to
contain about ton of miscellaneous ar
ticles. The value of the invention, and
of the method of applying it, is no long
er matter of doubt, the severest tests
having been made of the iron coated.
The earliest experiments only produced
film that would peel from the metal;
but by the new method coating is
made which is inseparable from the
metal. Inasmuch as the cost of oxidiza-
ton is less than that of a coat of paint,
it has become evident that the next gen.
Grafton, at least, may be happy with
cheap and indestructible iron.

How to Ventilate a Room.

WE are still idiotic house builders in
the matter of securing constant renew
al of fresh air, so much needed in sum-
mer. What proportion of rooms can
be swept through and through by an
air currentp Not more than one in ten.
The majority of our apartments are
closets. Rooms with doors or windows
all on one side become receptacles for
stagnant air. If stream is damned
up, the result is stagnant water. If
any portion of lake is walled up from
the action of the winds, the result is
the same. The ocean of air in which
we live is subject to the same law.
Constant agitation purifies air as well
as water. Air is food as well as bread,
and when it becomes stale, as it now
is in thousands of New York houses.
disease and debility are the. result

The New Evolution in Mosquitoes.

WITH improved ordnance has come
the iron-clad ship, and now, for a reason
like that which displaced the old-fash-
Toned vessels of wood, we must give up,
it is to be feared, our mosquito bars.
When an enemy penetrates your de-
fenses it is clear you have no resource
except to set up defenses that he can not
penetrate. Yet how is this to be doneP
Amazing and indeed incredible as it may
seem, the tiny black pest that has come
to enliven this remarkable summer is
actually able to go through the ordinary
mesh of mosquito netting. The creature
has evoluted in the direction of diminu-
ton. He has grown small by degrees
and excruciatingly less. By some dia-
bolical instinct, or through the teachings
perhaps of along line of astute mos
quitoes who have lived and grown gray
iii the past, the wretch has contrived to
make himself compact, so as to laugh to
scorn our most ingenious devices. He
is an india-rubber or telescope mosquito,
who rolls himself within himself, but
whose capacity in the way of torture is
no whit impaired by his new and artful
endowment. Formerly we gazed upon
AlOul WlIuIu Will
cency as he skurried up and down the
MEETINGS, giving forth, indeed, his trump
of menace and defiance, but tinctured,
withal, with certain accent of despair.
We were masters of the situation then,
and felt as safe as Macbeth in Dunsinane
before the fatal wood of Birnam heralded
his fate by beginning to move. The enc
my could no more touch us than the small
boy who fattens his nose on the win
dow-pane can touch the Gates and dain-
ties that make his mouth water inside.
But those happy days have passed, and
how are we to return to themp Are we
to submit to the fiend, the tormentor,
the Incompatible master of petty agony
without blowP This is out of the
question, and yet for the time we seem
to be utterly without resource. When
the fierce foe tears and poisons you at
his own sweet will, slipping to and fro
through your nets with grace as airy
as that of an acrobat who goes through
a hoop; and when your chemist tells
you, with a look of altogether inexpli-
cable triumph, that there is really no
remedy for mosquito bites, and no pro-

A Determined Suicide.

The fact that suicide requires, and
must require, high degree of physical
courage, at least, is too often overlooked
and too often denied. One of yester-
days cases of self-destruction was as
good an illustration of this, supposing
the man to have been sane, as could
be desired. The engineer on the New
York and New Haven train discovered
a man standing quietly on the track
ahead OF the engine, with his back to it.
When the engineer whistled, after try
ing in vain to stop the train, this deter
mined suicide turned about, faced the
engine and calmly waited to be hurled
into eternity. -NeO York Tribune.

out of our singing nettle of danger
may be plucked the budding flower of

RESTING PLACES.

A MEADOW for the little lambs,
A honey hive for bees;
And pretty nests for singing birds
Among the leafy trees.
There's rest for all the little ones,
In one place or another:
But who has half so sweet a place,
As baby with her mother.
The little chickens cuddle close
Beneath the old hens wing;
Peept peep! they say, we're not afraid
OF dark or anything.
So safe and snug they nestle there
The one beside the other;
But safer, happier by far,
Is baby with her mother.

IN BOYS, CLOTHING,


The same fancy cassimeres in mild tones prevail,
as in mems goods. The overcoat for boys is also
the double faced usterette, long overcoat with
,ut the belt, made up in one or two variations of
'tyle, and given fancy name and in some in
stances cut to fit the form, giving far more hand
some appearance than the old ulster with it's strap.
his strap has been omitted almost altogether, and
it was never Of any earthly use except for another
boy to catch hold Of The kits are still very popu-
lar for the little dots of from to years. and they
are very pretty, generally in fancy cassimeres They
are cut either single double breasted and finish
ed with two rows of buttons. They are either cut
away or full fronts so as to show the underskirts.
The underskrt is made of woollen goods, generally
plated around the bottom, while the waist or part
which comes under the kilt is made of cotton. The
little woollen kilt, or coat with sleeves goes over
this skirt, and gives the appearance of little
in the back, with plated shirt below. The pre-
vaiing overcoat for the little dot is straight sack.
cut very long and made of SOFT hght-colored goods
The prices Of the little kits range from s2 to So
and of the little oversacks from 81 to $12. The
prevailing suit for the little boy of from to 10
years + the surtout, or two garments made togeth
er, giving the appearance of little coat and

How It Can Be Done

is very satisfactorily explained In the first place
saving is made in the cutting of the garment
For instance, in overcoats, in the houses where
ready-made clothing is made the cutting is done by
hundreds at time, and by careful estimates it has
been found to cost 20 cents to cut single overcoat
whereas in the custom tailoring houses it could be
When the making of most Of the strictly frst-cass
ready made clothing done in large establishments
where hundr. DIS of hands are employed upon differ
seams, another upon the lining, another upon the
buttonhoes and on, each class of laborers being
adopts in the work put before them, time is lost
but every moment is saved, and hence the ready
made overcoat comes ont costing So or $40 less
than the custom garment, although the materials in
each may be the same 1t is a fact hat many per
sons in really moderate circumstances find il neces
sary to keep up appearances and hence are obliged
to dress well. The cloth from the best ready
made establishments costs very much less than that
from the custom tailors and since the recent great
improvements in styles, these gentry are becoming
more and more their regular patrons.
