pessiccated Fruit.

The new method of rapid desslccation of fruit, says thealew York Times, which is now followed on large scale in many parts of the country, has led to great improvement in tho quality of dried fruits, and particularly of dried apples. By selecting the apples, the product IS exceedingly white in appearance, and while the flavor is not quite equal to that of the fresh fruit, it is far superior to that of the dried apples as usually prepared. It is said that when dried by the rapid process the apples may be ex- posed to the sun for hours without be- coming discolored. The process of des- siccation is very simple. The apples are peeled, cored, and properly sliced by a machine, after which they are placed upon trays in the dessiecating-roo Here, by means of a mechanical arrange ment, they are carried up on one side and descend upon the other, when they are taken out ready for packing. As soon as one tray is removed another takes it's place, so that the operation IS eontfnu- ous. During the process the fumes of sulphur are used to bleach the fruit, but these are so perfectly absorbed by the apples that no oder of sulphur can be detected in the drying-room. The dried fruit can be packed in boxes, and 1t will keep for long time, preserving all it's excellent qualities. In water it swells up and forms jelly in the course of a few hours. The rapidity and cheapness of the process, and the eharater of the product, insures for it still wider appli' cation than it has yet received.

Not a Dead Star.


 Dr. II. J. Klein, who two years ago an. nounced a new crater in that world o extinct tvolcanos-the emoon-has recently examined drawings of the neighborhood of Gruithuiseu, which strongly confirm the theory of recent changes on the lunar surface, and cites also the draw. ings of Messrs. Nelson and Green, in further proof thereof. Prof. Klein adds that he announced the new depression near Hyginus as q crater, from analogy It is crater-funnel, and even one of the largest. Toward the south there is a shallow spoon-shaped hollow, which terminates in a second small crater. In full sunlight, when the interior of the large hollow of the crater is no longer in shadow, the spoon-shaped hollow may still be seen as a gray spot By the use of high powers it is remarked that the environs of the new crater appear to be Assured in bewiidering manner. Two fine furrows, like clefts in the soil, which extend from north toward the Snail mountain, are the finest objects on the moon. It is impossible as yet to decide whether this formation is really volcanic. There is one curious fact, however, which would seem to indicate that q mountain of smoke has at one time been seen on the moon. On the 2d of July, 1797. Schroters and Olbers examined a noun tain situated in the Sea of Vapors. This mountain, which was ascertained to be 3ri50 feet in height, has been seen neither before nor since, and was probably merely a mass of vapor. The formation measured by Schroter has disappeared from the moon, and nearly in the same spot there is now crater. There some- times occur, too, on the surface of the moon, nebulous strata of very long dura- ton, which have no analogues on the earth. He who examines carefully the materials furnished by the numerous ob- servations made on lunar formations, from the time of Gruithuiseu up to our own day, says Prof. Klein, will arrive at the conclusion that things are going on upon the surface of this neighboring world which we as yet can know nothing about

vicinity moved away. Some folks never can let well enough alone. It was well enough to float upon this fluid; to Dc rocked upon the cradleo of the dirty deep; to feel it's heavy, leaden roll, but not to stick a cane in it and bring it on board. We turned into tbe Rue Royale. The stream grew wider, the current more rapid. Most of the ladies now held handkerchiefs to their faces They seemed a deep affected company. The smell was that of carbonated sewerage. It was discernable by the tongue as we'll as by the nose.
 heard some young ladies say it was "nice." They were American. They deemed it was nice because it was French. At all events good deal of French was impalbly and involuntarily swallowed i'll this sale on q sewer. With ! these girls even French sewer had more style-more of the Jene sais qaos ! than an American sewer. There was undoubtedly good deal of Je ne sdis q.toi l in the sewer that afternoon, and all of | us got our share of it The combined | ride and sale occupied one hour and a 1 quarter l suppose we trayersed two 1 miles of sewer It was enough. 4 mile would answer for ordinary people. The 1 Parisians are justly proud oftheir sewers. 1 Some maintain that there is no unpleas- | ant smell at all in them. Theoretically | this may be so to the Gallic nostril. And argumentatively also It has been ar. | gued that people visiting the sewers inn ! agine they smell more than they do. In such cases imagination answers all the purposes of reality. let never imagined such smell in my life as imagined there-ifI l did imagine it. l imagine, however there was little basis of fact for the smell did imagine.
 The most disgusted woman I ever saw disembarked from our gondola at
 the close of the trip. She had husband
 with her. Her handkerchief had been
 permanently glued to her nose during
 the entire sail. l think the unfortunate
 man must have failed to inform her as to
 the real nature or possibilities of the
 trip. l think she must have been ignor.
 ant of the use of a sewer, or she hadn't
 rightly considered the nature of the in
 vitation l felt sorry for the man. She snubbed him every sixty seconds, and
 there was every indication of a terrible
 storm to bust forth when once they were
 alone. They were Dutch He looked
 meekly and acted meekly. He tried to
 assist her up the stone steps leading out of the sewer. She wouldn't let him
 touch her. She nudged her elbow and
 nudged it into him pretty hard. 1 saw him vince. "Oh women, in our hours of ease, but in a sewer pretty hard to please!" We emerged above ground very near the Madeline. The sewer was "done." Obeying the promptings of in. stinct and animal nature, l sought the nearest cafe for a glass of beer to remove the taste from the mouth. Paris now drinks great deal of beer. Its use sell it by the "bock." A glass of beer is termed "bock" of beer It was neces- sars to clinch the impressions gathered in the sewer.

Floating Grain milis.

A correspondent describing trip down the Danube in Austria says: The float
 ing grain mills on the Danube are its most curious feature. Fancy two canal boats moored parallel to each other i'll mid-river, about fifteen to twenty feet apart, and supporting between them the crank of a gigantic mill wheel turned by the current of the stream. Fancy, more over, the sides of one of these boats car ried up one story higher than the other, then roofed over a Ia Noah's ark, with windows and doors as needed. and you will have a fair idea of these Danube grain mills some 1000 to 5000 of which, in groups of ten or twelve together, are scattered along this watery highway all the way from Vienna to Belgrave. Each mill is inscribed with its owners name.

Mcxicn,s Irnn MnIInfain.

Chihuahua cor. of the St. Louis Globe Democrat
 One of the great mineral wonders of Mexico, and perhaps of the world. is the Iron Mountain in the immediate vicinity of Durango, in the State or Durango. The Iron Mountain is nearly two miles in length and one mile wide, and about 700 feet high. Above the surface, uncovered and in sight, it shows about 200,000,000 tons of pure ore, ready to be shoyeled or rolled without any cost of mining, into the furnaces to be erected at it's base. Much of this ore ranges from 70 to 90 per cent, and some is carried directly to the forge. It works very kindly, and easily assumes the form of steel. There is every reason to believe ores of such rare superiority, when subject to all our modern improvements i'll iron making, will produce iron and steel unsurpassed anywhere in the world, either inSweden, or Biscay, in spain,in England, or the United States.
