SCIENTIFIC NOTES.

A cistern four feet in diameter will
hold ninety-four gallons of water to
every foot in depth.
A good cement for stopping joints,
such as around chfmneys and the like,
may be made as follows: white lead, as
sold in the keg, mixed with enough
pure sand to make a stiff paste that
will not run. 1t grows hard by expos
ure and resists heat, cold and water.
Car-wheels made of paper have been
in use for some time. Now comes a
car-wheel made of sawdust, which is an
abundant waste product in the saw
mills of the West. The Lumberman
describes model wheel, consisting of
an iron rim of seven inches outward
diameter by half an inch thick, fitted
with well-prOportioned hub, the space
between being filled with pine sawdust,
pressed in so sOlidly that we are ready
to believe the assertion that a press ire
of twenty-three tons applied to the hub
failed to develop any signs OF weak
ness.
Shoes ought to be cheaper after this,
for the patent on the Mckay wax
thread sewing machines has expired.
1t is thought that the royalties on this
machine amounted to 100000 year
in this country. One manufacturer,
Joseph Davis, paid as high as $4,000
per annum to the patentee. The basis
of the machine was an invention by
Lyman r.. Blake, of Abingdon, Mass,
who In 1853 patented an arm working
inside the shoe, and sewing directly
through the upper and both sOles with
out the aid of welt. Mr.. Gordon Nc
Kay bought this invention for $780,
and the Matthias patent, for channeling
a shoe, for $4,000 Then, in 1864
Blake placed an alchohol lamp in the
arm or "horn," which kept the wax
thread warm and made the machine
capable of doing the finest sewing. The
main patent was what was called 8
process and product" patent, under
which it was successfully claimed thai
no other machine conld be put on the
market to do the same work. One Of
the first lot of machines was bought by
E. G. Burt and George Silver, Of New
York, but gradually other large manu-
facturers came in until it is estimated
that there are now 1900 machines il
Use, which do the bulk of the machine
shoe sewing of the country.

The sea Of Azoff has new island
about 100 feet in diameter, and 10 feet

most recent addition to the territory
of Russia is tho result of some subter-

island was attended with marine

A TURTLE FARM.-Mr. milford
Dorlon has a terrapin farm on the
shore of Mobile Bay, about thirty miles
from Mobile. About three acres are
fenced with strong pilings. Two ca
nails supply the inclosure with salt wa
ter, which flows into nGmber of
bitches ten feet wide and one hundred
feet long. The sand thrown out of
the bitches is used 10y these large tur-
ties to sun themselves on, and as places
to lay their eggs in. In winter the
terrapins remain imbedded in the mud
of the bitches without touching NOR
sci of food. The present number of
terrapins is from twenty to thirty thous-
and, and three or four years from now
their number will doubtless be hard to
calculate. 1t costs about one dollar
per dozen per season to feed them; they
sell for from twelve to seventeen dol
lars per dozen in New York.
