H., was operated for the first time last
week. A large brig was .hoisted high
ard dry with success. The railway
consists of great car, which somewhat
resembles one of the East River dry
docks, except that it stands ON wheels.
10 this car are attached about five h un-
dred feet Of heavy chain. The car,
when placed in the water, is partly
sunk, to permit ship to float into it !;
then the car is raised and drawn with
the ship up on the beach by steam pow
er, the car chains bong attached to an
engine stationed about five hundred
feet distant on the shore. 1t cost many
thousands Of dollars to construct the
railway.

A Philadelphia inventor has taken a
step forward in the warfare against
sewer gas which promises to be valu-
able. He has added a mercury seal to
the ordinary water trap connected with
drain pipes of all kinds. The outlet
pipe has trough around it charged
with quicksilver. A cap fits snugly
over the pipe, and Is surrounded by
tlanges which dip into the mercury, and
thus form tight seal. The cap is so
attached to the water closet or basin
that, by lifting the lid, it is drawn into
side chamber and allows free egress
of the contents. BY the same movement
Of shutting down the lid the cap is re-
placed over the outlet pipe, and its
flange submerged in the mercury, while
below the mercury seal the ordinary
water trap is placed, having an outlet
for the ventilatIng pipe, whloh can be
carried to the chimney tlue or roof, as
convenient. Thus double door is
raised against the admission of deleteri-
GUS gases into the building.

Unworthy Of Public Confidence.

Mark Twain says "we left the train
for Switzerland, and reached Lucerne
about ten O'Clock at night. The first
discovery made was that the beauty
Of the Lake had not been exaggerated.
Withina day or two l made another
discovery. This was that the lauded
chamois Is not Wild goat; that it is
not horned animal; that it Is not shy
That 1t does not avoid human society ::
and that there Is no peril in hunting it..
Tho chamois Is q black or brown orea-
ture, no bigger than Il mustard seed,
You do not have to 60 after it; it comes
after you. 1t arrives Ill vast herds, and
sktps and scampers all over your body,
inside your clothes. Thus it Is not shy,
but extremely soclable. 1t Is not afraid
Of man; on the contrary it will attack
him. Its bite is not dangerous, but
neither is 1t pleasant. Its activity has
not been over stated. If you try to put
your finger on 1t, it will skip thou
sand times Its own length at one jump,
and no eye Is sharp enough to see
where it lights. A great deal of ro-
mantle nonsense has been written about
Swiss chamois and the perils Of hunt
ing 1t, whereas the truth Is that even
women and children hunt it, fearlessly.
Indeed, everybody hunts it. The hunt
ing is going OF all the time, day and
night, in bed and out OF 1t. 1t is poetic
foolshness 10 hunt itwitll gun. Very
few people do that. Thcre is not one
man in million who can hit it with a
gun, 1t is much easier to catch 1t than
1t Is to shoot 1t, AM only the expe-
rienced chamois hunter can do either.
Another common piece Of cxaggeration
is that about tho scarcity Of tho cha
mois. 1t is the reverse Of scarce. Droyes
of 100. 900, 900 chamois aro not unusual
in the Swiss hotels. Indeed they are so
numerous rs TO be great PEST. The
romancers always dress up tho chamOis
hunter In funoiful and picturesque COS
tune, whereas the best way to hunt
this game Is to do it without any cos
tune ut all. Tho article of commerce
called chamois skin is another fraud.
Nobody could skin channels. 1t Is too
small. Tho creature 1s humDuR III
every way, and every thing which has
been written about It Is sentimental
exaggeration. 1t was no pleasure to
mo to find the chamois out, for he had
been one of my pet Illusions. All my
life 1t had been my dream to see him In
his native wilds some day, and engage
in the adventurous sport OF chasing
him from cliff to cliff. 1t Is nopleasurc
to me to expose him now, and destroy
the readers delight in him and respect
for him, but still it must be done, for
when al honest writer discovers an
imposition it is his simple duty to strip
it bare and hurl 1t down from Its place
OF honor, 10 m;'ttcr who suffers by 1t.
Any other course would render him
unworthy Of the public confidence.

Cows UNDER THE WEATuER.-COWs
are very sensitive to the influence Of
the weather. Iii bright clear days
their vital forces arc more active and
vigorous, digestion is more rapid, and
assimilation and waste are more active
and sccretlOns which, like butter, de-
pend upon the destruction OF tissue,
arc more abundant. Lassit,lde is favor
able to tranSudatiOn, because it relaXes
the delicate membranes and makes the
passage of liquids easier, and con-
seQuently more abundant. Thus, while
the iats in milk diminish, tho albumi.
nolds Increase IN muggy weather; and
yet given weight OF milk makes less
cheese than In fair weather. This loss
in cheese Is owing to the fact that as
the albumen OF the blood passes over
into the milk vessels, the major part of
1t Is converted into caseine, which is
coagulable by rennct, while albumen
Is not. This change from albumen to
caseine Is effected by tho vital forces,
and Is more or less complete as they
vary in strength. The greater energy
OF bright days increases the per cent of
cnseine, and makes that OF albumcn
less. In muggy weather this is rever-
scd. These changes often amount to
enough to make five per cent. differ
ence in tho yield OF cheese in favor of
good weather, while the total Of album
nolds, rs shown by analysis, is the
greater In tho nuggy days. From the
decrease in fat and the increase of al
buminoids, which are heavier than fat,
tho milk Of the nuggy days shows the
greater specific gravity, and yields a
less per cent OF butter.
