Rubber Balls,

The process of making hollow rubber
balls used by children as playthings is
quite curious, and may be interesting
to those not familiar with it. A Hol-
yoke writer thus describes it:
These balls have solid surface, are
made by different process from that
of making the soft rubber balls which
are perforated by an opening, and, OF
course, are much more firm, durable
and elastic The sheets of rubber pre-
pared for balls are cut into strips Of
double convex shape. The edges Of
the strips are moistened with prepar-
alton of rubber and naphtha, by which
they are joined firmly together, three
OF the strips being used for one ball.
This part of the work is done by
girls, and skillful girl can earn about
$3.50 per day. When the strips are
joined together, the ball is very near
the shape of Il Brazil nut. Before the
last opening is closed small quantity
of carbonate of ammonia is put inside,
which, when subjected to strong heat,
will make the rubber expand and fill
out the ball mold. The opening is then
closed with the adhesive mixture, and
it is placed in an iron mold of the size
and shape of the ball desired. The
molds are packed into frames, in which
they are subjected to the heat of a vul-
canizer.
They are kept in place in the frame
by iron rods along the side, and when
the frame is full, iron plates at the end
are screwed down tightly upon the
molds to hold them in place. These
iron plates are about three-fourths Of
an inch thick, and so strong is the ex-
pansive force of the rubber in the molds
that they bend this thick iron rod into
q curve, II one of the molds should
work out of place while vulcanizing Is
in process, the molds would fly out with
a noise like the report of dozen pis-
tolls, and the work is spoiled. The
action of the heat does the rest. When
the molds are opened they contain the
perfect round balls, with no mark Of
the places where the pieces were
placed. The slight ridge made by the
mold is ground of by stone used for
that purpose, and the ball is done.

Rare Elenhants,

There are now on exhibition in New
York two peculiar elephants brought
from the mountains of the Malay PEN
insula, about 800 miles from Singapore.
They are remarkable for their small
size, being respectively twenty-eight
and thirty-six inches tall; and for being
covered with thick coat of bristly
hair or wool. They are supposed to be
from to Z years old IL size they re-
semble the extinct elephants Of Malta,
and in covering those of Siberia. Their
woolly coat is attributed to the circum-
stance that they live high upon the
mountains where the climate is cold.
The species appear to be all but un-
known to naturalists, this pair being
the first that have survived the passage
through the heated low country to the
coast and the subsequent journey by
sea. The sailors on the steamer which
brought them--the Oyfordshire, Cap
tain G. p. Jones named them Prince
and Sidney. They are described Us
playful and harmless, and they keep
their little trunks stretched out to
strangers to be petted. They loved to
be scratched on the under side of the
trunk close to the mouth, and they hold
their trunks curled back over their
heads as long as anyone scratches them.
Like elephants of large growth, they
keep up a swaying motion, either side
ways or forward and backward. When
a visitor lets one of the little fellows
take his hand he delicately curls his
proboscis around it and carries it gent
ly to his mouth. Then he trumpets
his satisfaction.

Libel Suits Instituted by the PrOprietors
of "Truth,"

New YORK, Nov. 30.-The editors and
publishers of Truth have begun suit for
libel against the proprietor of the
Times, damages being demanded
in the sum of $4,000. The particu-
lar offence upon which the suit is based
is an editorial in the Times printed just
after the O'Brien confession, in which the
writer charges the Truth propTietors with
being guilty not only of forgery but of
subornation of perjury. Other suits have
been begun against Gath" George Albert
Townsend, New York correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer, who INDUCED in like
strain, and against three Others.

Vanderbiltiana,

Some one has made very curious
calculation of what Mr.. Vanderbilt
could do with his money. William ii.
Vanderbilt's income from his invest
ments in S5l, 100000 per cent Gov
eminent bonds is represented at S5, 900
daily, which is S20S.25 per hour, S3.H
per minute, or over 5 cents per second.
Assuming that he is paid by the second
he cannot possibly spend his money, as
he could not select his purchases and
lay down the pieces fast enough He
could not throw it way; to pick up,
cast, recover, pick up and cast again
would take him two seconds, and
il he worked all through the twenty
four hours without rest, he could only
dispose of one-half his income. BY
living economically saving up for four
years he could, placing his five-cent
pieces side by side, make nickel belt
around the earth, or by converting his
savings into l-cent pieces and mounting
them in pile he would, in twenty
years, erect road to the moon and
have $500 to invest when he got there
Should his amusement take charitable
twist, he could out Of a years receipts
donate to every man, woman and child
in the United States 20 cents and have
money left over. Other vast possibili-
ties occur to the glowing fancy of the
calculator. In one day he could go to
5000 different circuses, eat 1000 pints
of peanuts, drink 5000 glasses of lem
onade, and have money left to get his
boots BACKED. He can afford TO have
500, 900 shirts washed in one day, and
on the day of his death his income will
buy ten irst-cass funerals.

A Word to Our Readers.

When you read of a remedy that will
cure all diseases, beware of it; but when
you read of pure vegetable compound
which claims to cure only certain parts of a
body, and furnishes high proof that it does
this, you can safely try 1t and with the as
surance that it will help you. This is just
what Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver Cure
does. 1t cures all troubles Of the lower
portion of the body and none others. 1t
will not help the toothache, earache nor
consumption, but it will put your body in a
vigorous and healthy state where you can
enjoy life and appreciate its good things.
Try it.
