A Good Chance for Solitude.

FAR out in the Atlantic, one hundred
and eighty-four miles very nearly due
west of St. Kilda, and two hundred and
ninety miles from the nearest part of
the main land of Scotland, there is a
granite stack, which rises to height of
seventy feet above the sea, and at dis
lance has been mistaken for a vessel
under sail. The upper part is inhabit-
ed by large numbers of sea fowl. The
name of the stack is Rockall. The
great sand-bank from which it rises
abounds with cod. For nearly two
years, a man, through the medium OF
the London Spectator, has been calling
the attention of various scientific socie-
ties and individuals to the suitability OF
Rockan for meteorological station,
and has been offering, under certain
conditions, to reside there alone for a
twelvemonth, and take series of oh.
servations. With a foundation of sew
enty feet above the sea, or even less, he
says, there would be no difficulty in fix
ing a house upon Rockall which would
laugh at the wind and spray. One
chamber would do, and it could be
made of stout timber locked to ring.
bolts, or be built of concrete. If con-
nected by telegraph to the main land,
Rockall would, this person thinks, be an
agreeable residence; and even in it's iso-
lated state it would be endurable
enough if the occupant were cheered by
the reflection that he was a pioneer in q
noble cause. A little money would be
well spent in trying to make storm
warnings more reliable than they have
been of late. Besides meteorological
observations, an observer posted on
Rockall might, if properly instructed,
DO able to throw little light on
oceanic circulation, temperature, etc.

Filigree Jewelry-An Interesting Mexi.
can Manufacture.

The manufacture of filigree gold and
silver jewelry probably orig inated among
the Italians, was by them taught the
Spaniards, and at the time. of the Con-
quest was brought over by the latter and
introduced to the Mexicans. In italy
and Spain one sees no longer the work,
and it survives now only in New and
Old Mexico, Santa Fe, Chihuahua and
the City of Mexico probably being the
principal points where it is manufacture
ed. Until the time that American in
genuity and taste began to be apparent
in this branch of art, the manufacture
was very rude, the patterns simple and
few-some say there were only three of
these-and fill gree jewelry was only odd
and fantastic, there being little real
beauty about the work. This has now
all been changed, and while the jewelry
is still fantastic in appearance, Ameri-
can skill has invented patterns which
display much beauty, and when worked
into form in gold or silver are attractive,
tasteful and handsome ornaments. The
articles manufactured are principally for
the wear of male or female, breast pins,
scarf-pins, shawl-pins, combs, earrings,
bracelets, fnger-rings and various pretty
ornaments for the hair; althoug h, of
late, the manufacture has included q
great variety of other articles, such as
card-cases, spectacle-cases and match
boxes. In fact, the Mexican workmen,
who have now the entire manufacture in
their hands, claim that they can repro
duce any pattern given them in gold or
silver filigree. In Santa Fe the manu-
facture of this jewelry is becoming more
important, and filigree work is becom-
ing in greater demand. Tourists invest
in Mexican jewelry because in itself it is
quaint and pretty and is rarely seen i"
the East, and as souvenirs of the An.
Gent City they desire naturally to take
away something which has an unmis-
takably native appearance. The gold
used in manufacturing the jewelry is
either from the Old Placers or the New
Placers, twenty or thirty miles distant,
andis generally bought from Mexicans
who earn their living by panning out
the dust from the washings on these
properties. The silver comes generally
from Silver City, the '76'' mine of Bre-
men near there supplying the ore, and
the smelling being done in that town. It
is brought from there in crude state, and
refined in the shops where the jewelry is
made.-Sa,stG Fe Nev MEXICAN.

NEW ULM REVIEWWEDNESDAY, JANUARY l2; 1881
SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

A GERMAN experimenter has found
that warm and insular climates are un-
suitable for the sugar beet, which is rich
est where carly cold follows hot sum.
lner.
IMMENSE quantities of implements be-
longing to the stone and bronze age
have just been discovered near the
rapids of the Dnieper. 1t is also said
that an ancient boat, dating back to the
time of Rurik, has been unearthed.
A NEW process for using up old steel
has lately been patented in England.
BY it new metal of extraordinary
strength and ductility is alleged to be
introduced, which is expected to prove
of great value: Steel remade on this
plan has sold readily at 1925 a ton.
On some of the German railways the
sleepers are impregnated with certain
preservative substances, chloride of zinc
having proved the most desirable. The
durability of oak and beech sleepers has
been greatly increased by this impreg-
nation, those of the latter from pre-
pared wood lasting five and q half times
as long as the untreated ones.
PROF. j. NORMAN LocKYER's theory
that the so-called chemical agents are in
reality compound bodies, is based upon
the results of his researches with the
spectroscope, and particularly his spec
troscopic study of the sun and stars. 1t
is interesting to note that purely chemi-
cal investigation points to the same
conclusion.
AN Arctic peat bog has been discov-
cred at Oldham, in Lancashire, Eng,
near where the fossil forest was lately
unearthed. This bog is intercalated
with deposits of what is known as glacial
drift-that is, thick beds of clay, gravel,
and sand, inclosing boulders of all sizes.
These beds are supposed to be of marine
origin, while the peat, made up princi-
pally OF MOSES, represents a land sur
face.
A FRENCH journal is responsible for
the following: During a recent violent
storm, a young man was walking with
an unlighted carriage lamp in his hand.
Suddenly he experienced severe shock
in his arm, and concluded that the light
ming had either struck him or some
point very near. But what was his as
constituent to find that his lamp had
been lighted! Several persons near him
witnessed the remarkable phenomenon.
NJ: AMAr recently gave the French
Academy an account of some remark
able displays of atmospheric electricity
observed in the north of the Sahara.
Without insulating himself to prevent
the escape of the electricity into the
ground, he could, by passing a pocket
