Tho Sand Blast.
Journal Of Science.

Journal Of Science. ....:..
Among the wonderful and useful
inventions of the times is the COM.
mon blast. Suppose you desire q
piece of marble for a gravestone !;
you cover the stone with sheet of
wax nc thicker than a wafer then
you cut in the wax the name, date.
ETC., leaving the marble exposed.
Now pass it under the blast and
TIE sand shall cut it away. Res
move the wax and you haYe the
cut letters. Take piece of French
plate lass say two by six feet. cover
it. with fine lace, ard pass it under
the blast, and not thread of the
lace will be injured, but the sand
will crt deep into the glass wher-
ever 1t is not covered by the lace,
Nov remove the lace and you have
a delicate and beautiful figure
raised on the glass. In this way
beautiful figures Of all kinds are
cut in glass and at a small expense.
The workmen can hold their hands
under the blast without harm, even
when it is rapidly cutting away
the hardest cutting glass;. iron. or
stone. but they must look out for
| finger nails, for they viii De whit
tied off right hastily. If they put.
on steel thimbles to protect the
| nails, it will do but little good, for
the sand will soon white them
away but if they wrap a piece of
soft cotton around them they are
safe. You will at once see the PHI
losophy Of it. The sand whittles
away and destroys any hard SUB
starce-eyen ,glass-but does not
affect substances that are soft and
yielding, like wax, cotton, fine
lace, or even the human hand.

An AntediIuMan Monster.

There haze recently been dis
covered in Siberia the bones of an
antediluvian rhinoceros, which
may give US an idea of what kind
cf people and animals inhabited
our globe in days gone by, and
what sort Of winter they had to. Ell.
dure. This rhinoceros, was taller
than the modern beast by some
six or seven feet. 1t was Discovers
ed comfortably imbedded in the
banks of one of the affiuents of the
Tana River. When the bank first
broke away the whole skeleton
stood there in magnificent. proper
ton, a revelation of a LOST age. Pro-
fessors Of Pslaeontology are rather
scarce in Siberia, and SO it hap
pened that the river was allowed
to wash the old monster away. Its
head and one foot have been res
cued, however. and are now in st.
Petersburg. Besidea Its SUPERIOR
ty in size. this ancient monster had
the advantage Of being clothed in
thick coat of long halr, which en-
abled it to live among icebergs anil
in temperature that would have
frozen the effeminate polar bear
and made an icicle of the cunning
arctic fox. There was a period
when the north Of Europe-Eng-
land, France, and Germany, where
inhabited: by monstrous beast !,
birds and reptiles. The fabulous
roc he's been discovered III New
Zealand, bird measuring thirty
feet from head to claws. The sea
serpent is no =. fiction. Professor
Owen constructed, on a reliable
scientific basis, a reptile that would
measure some sixty feet in length.
A great po. ton of the ivory used
to-day is the product of an extinct
species buried in Northern Asia
which tke Siberian 'resurrectlonists
sell to Russian. traders. There liv-
ed these giants in the age otsilence
| twilight, and snow. In Australia a
huge msrsupial was living, COM
pared to which the kangaroo is a
rat it hoped about the country
in company Of wombats as large as
bear, and these monsters found
their enemy and conqueror. in q
hinge monster, the pouched lion
Gigantic herbivarous dragons, dou
ble-tusked reptiles, crawled leisure
1y along the 1ich pasturelands o.
South Africa. Life was long lr
those days, there was no need fol
the beasts to hurry themselves, they
roamed over whole continents il
search of food. Our age Of smaller
physical developments, but of IN ore
enlightened intellect, has gathered
the scattered bones of these mons
ters and restored them their place
In history.

Perhaps no other State in the
Union can make such show

in Western North Carolina there
are immense bodies Of white pine

In Eastern North Carolina there
is an almost inexhaustible,
SUPPLY OF PITCH PINE,
the belt of the country extending
from Virginia to the South Carroll
ma border, and averaging at least
from sixty to seventy miles in
width. -.
In the coast country there are
large quantities of cypress which
are 80 surrounded by swampe

It IS worthy of special note that
all the woods ot,the State can be

THE MINERAL WEALTH
of North Carolina is unbounied,
and as shown by the specimens or
exhibition OF more varied richness
than that of any ether Southern
State, Minerals exist in the great

full to the form of precious gems.
Of the useful copper and iron there
are valuable deposits all over the
Piedmont country and the western
section CT the State. The Ore
Knob Copper Mine is the mos,

Simple Remedies for Emergencies

Very few young mothers are
able to control their nerves so COM
pletcly as to keep from being star
tied when confronted by a cut fin
ger with dripping blood and the
loud cries that announce catastrO-
phe. Sometimes she cannot col-
lect her thoughts sufficiently to re-
call any of the good remedies with
which she is acquainted. One way
to avoid this is to write out a list
of help in trouble, and tack tupon
the door of your room, after the
manner of hotel regulation !. There
is nothing better for cut than
powdered rosion. Get few cents
worth Of roson, pound it until it is
fine, and put it in an empty, clean
pepper OF spice box with perfora-
ted top then you can easily sift it
out on the cut !; put a soft cloth
around the injured member and
wet it with cold water once lin "a
while. 1T will prevent infamma-
ton and soreness. In doing up the
burn, the main point, is to keep the
AIR from it. if sweet oil and cot1
ton are not at hand, take a cloth
and spread dry fonr over it, and
wrap the burned part in it. 1t is
always well to have some simple
remedies in the honse where you
can get them without a moments
loss of time little bottle of pep
permint, in case of collie, chlorate
Of potash for sore throat, pepsin
for indigestion, and bottle of BRAN
dy. Have them arranged so you
could go TO them in the dark, and
reach the right remedy, but be sure
you never do It, even If vou know
they have not been disturbed /; al
ways light lamp or the gas, and
make sure that you have what you
are after. Remember that pistols
are always loaded, and that poi
Son may be put in place Of pep

North Carolina at the Cotton Exposi
tlon.

ATLANTA, Nov. 1O.-North Car
oGna deserves praise for making
one of the largest and most credit
able displays Of agricultural, min.
eral and manufacturing products
in the entire Exposition. In ex-
tent and variety, excellence Of ar
range1nent and thoroughness of
preparation it is an honor to the
State. The display occupies one
half of the western wing of the
Railroad Building, and shows. the
vast range of minerals, woods, soils,
and products contained in the
State-the achievements of the
present and the ossibilities OF the
future.
The timbered wealth of North
Carolina has not been developed,
and no effort worthy of the name
has been made to utilize the pro-
duct of the forests. There are fif-
ty thousand square miles of terri
tory in the State covered by tor
ests which have scarcely been
touched.
Of the specimens of native woods
on exhibition there are 112 distinct
species, embracing all the COM
moner varieties and the ornament
al woods. In Western North Carr
olina there are immense belts Of
cherry, aud the supply Of black
and white walnut is practically un-
limited. The western walnut,
which has heretofore held the mar
ket, has been largely exhausted,
and INV commands high prices,
thus affording ready sale to the
large supply in this new field.
Of the different kinds OF woods
most valuable in the arts in the
United States, there are % species
OF oak, 10 Of which are found in
North Carolina and SO on. as fol-

Kerosene and Salt for Diphtheria.

there was great difficulty in secur-

A Tribute to Southern Loyalty.

The Boston Transcript, staunch
Republican journal says: sThe
Confederate shout is in the South
ern blood. Years upon years will
be required to eliminate it. When
the recollection of dangerous ex-
periences flashes upon the .appre-
hension of individuals, bringing
back the times when the thud of
bullets and whizzing of shells ce-
mented a comradeship that only
death could disrupt, the pent-up
emotions will find an utteranceiden
tical to sthat signallzing the period
of the utmost peril. This feeling
can co-exist with the most perfect
loyalty, as is now evident. If oc-
casion demanded, Southern battal-
ions, mingling the Confederate
yell add Union cheers, would
rally to the support of the general
with the same enthu-
slasm that inspired them in their
contest against American
nationality"

For a Cough.

A great many, people at this sea-
son of the year never fail to suffer
from colds and coughs. Here is a
simple remedy for a cough and
said to be a good one /: To cure a
cough roast a lemon very carefully
without burning it; when it is thor
oughly hot, cut and squeeze into a
cup upon three ounces of sugar,
finely powdered. Take a spoonful
whenever your cough troubles you
1t IS as good as it is agreeable to
the taste.
