Steel BreastpIate.

Some interesting experiments
have been lately carried out in
Leipsic with cuirass made of a
newly invented preparation of
steel. The metal of the cuirass is
only about three-fiftieths OF an
inch thick and Is lined inside with
a thin layer Of wool. The cuirsss
itself Is IA inches wide and 10
inches high, being intended only
to protect the heart and lungs, and
weighs 24 pounds. Eleven rounds
were fred at 1t at distance OF 175
yards from Martini breech-load-
ing rife, and of eight bullets which
struck the cuirass only two pierced
the metal, while even these were
completely flattened and remained
in the wooden lining, so that a
man wearing the cuirass would
have been uninjured.

A culprit was recently tried in a
German court of justice for MUIR
der and robbery. The Judge, be-
fore summing up the evidence for
the jury's consideration, asked the
prisoner whether he had anything
to say for himself. Only this, your
Honor" replied the latter; sit was
not murder, but a suicide.u
JuSge-"How do you make that
out?" Prisoner-"In this way
your Honor. The deceased, for
years before his death, went about
everywhere saying that he was de-
termined to put an end to himself;
but he never had the courage to do
so. At last his irresolution moved
me to pity; 80, to save him from
Disappointment, and, more es-
pecially, from being worse than
his word, l suicided him." Judge
-"That ia all very well. but what
made you take his watch?" PrIs-
When he was dead he did
not require watch. l did, and so

pocket. Besides, he was an old
friend OF mine, and I wanted

A NEW OIL DISTRICT.
A Twency Barrel Well on the Puente-The
Oil A in Quality--A Second Well being
Bored,

Readers Of the HERALD will re-
member that from time to time we
have reported the fact that Mr..
Burdette Chandler, who has had
large experience in the oil regions
of Pennsylvania, West Virg mia
and Canada, was boring for oil on
that portion of the Rancho la
Puente owned by Sheriff Rowland.
Yesterday Mr.. Chandler informed
US that his work has been crow ned
with success. Last Thursday, at q
depth of 1875 feet, he struck Oil in
sucn volume that he was forced to
stop boring and commence tubing
the we'll. This work was flushed
on Saturday evening. Sunday
morning the pump was set to work
and in 35 minutes Is barrels of A l
green oil were pumped out, with
out see mipg to diminish the sup
ply, when he was compelled to stop
for want of receptacles for the oil.
A tank, with capacity of 200 bar
rels-10,0O0 gallons-has been built
and will be taken out to the well
to-day when, after the receiver is
in place, pumping will be resumed.
From present indications Mr..
Chandler is confident that the well
may be relied on for steady yield
of Is to 20 barrels per day, and, as
a proof of his belief In the reliabil-
ity of the supply, he has already
commenced to sink second well.
We tender to Messrs. Rowland
and Chandler our hearty congrat-
ulations on their success and hope
that the Puente Oil District may
prove as productive and remunera-
tive as any of the famous oil farms
of Venango county, Pennsylvania.

TIE Lighthouse Service.

The are now under the control OF
the Lighthouse Board about 700
lighthouses, besides something
like 800 lights on interior rivers.
In their annual report the Board
ask for $4,000 to introduce cleo
trio lights in several Of the more
prominent lighthouses. The lamps
proposed for this purposes have
been thoroughly tested, and are
said to be in every way satisfac-
tory and much more effective than
the lights now in use. The esti-
mates for new work and for the
maintenance of the service amount
to about So, 100000.

Cheap Parlor Plants.

For room decoration why do not peo-
pie take some hardy things that do not
mind heat or frost or drought or flood
that is, if none of these things come
in too great extremes, There are such
things; but instead of looking for them,
tender greenhouse things that require
much light and GREAT things
which even n florist with all his skill
can scarcely grow are taken in hand,
and thus people very often fail of sue
cess. OF course after making u close
acquaintance with plants and learning
their little whims and fancicS and lust
how to humor them in those little
niceties that they set their hearts upon,
the parlor gardener can do rs wcllIaSathc
greenhouse gardener, and often much
better II, however the harder things
are taken, success is certain without
much anxiety or care, and one can
practice on them until they are able to
care for the more delicate things.
Among the best of these old-fnshion-
ed plants easy to grow in sunshine or
shade there is nothing so good us the
various varieties of English evergreen
ivy. AS usually seen in pots ON street
corners, pretty rs they are, they give
no idea of the great beauty which n
plant of several years age presents. We
have seen some grown in moderate
sized tubs six or seven feet high and
trained over wires so as TO make backs
to seats or even little arbor like cover.
ings or alcovcs, admirable for standing
in wide entrys or halls, They may be
trained up in pots high enough and
thick enough to cover window frames
entirely, not only up the sides but
round and over tops, making what is
usually a drcary room look like q living
bower, or II room adorned nv the hgh-
est art look all the loyelcr for the in
cursion of beautiful Nature on her cspe-
cial domain.
One of the protticst effects magma.
BILE can be produced by training the
long plant vines of the English ivy
upward on the sides of windows. the
dcep green leaves contrasting finely
with the white lace curtains, and
branching off can be arranged artistic
any over picture frames and other
objects.
We have seen the ivy in lust these
conditions frequently, and wonder why
the successful example is not catching.
We suppose 1t mus, be simply n want
of forcthought. We see and admire
and resolve that We will do likewise.

but we leave these fairy spots and pet
into the rushing, busy world forgetting
the Measurable impression and only
remembering them when chance throws
us in the way Of seeing them again.
The time is now coming when prepare
ton may be made for these sort of
things The young ivies should be
potted in the spring in good garden
soil and after gentle reminder that
they are expected to travel upward by
being tied to n stout stake set in the
center of the pot, set out in partial
shade to grow, 1t will need to have
Just the same watering and Just the
same general culture MS ordinary plants,
and by fall will be large enough for
some show the same winter, But it is
the second season and afterward that
the great beauty OF the ivy will be seen,
and il is just these three or fuur-year-
old plants that people very seldom see.
How dearly we should like to see
couple of pots of ivy in cverybody's
winter home, and especially in the
homes of the poor. We read ever year
in the daily papers of some individuals
at Christmas giving away loaves of
bread to the poor, This may be well
enough in its way, though it is looked
on often as n huge joke and the loavcs
tossed about in fun, and though it is at
other times merely dodge for cheap
advertising by some trader who thinks
himself sharp in thus cheating a pub
Usher of five dollar bill, we are will
ing 10 believe that some do it from good
motives and that some return genuine
thanks for timely relief; but if some
one would distribute n few hundred of
well grown ivy to the poor and ignorant,
not to say the vicious, at this generally
cheerful time, we believe an immense
amount of pleasure would be given to
Il class who know not what rational
pleasure is, and no doubt other good
would follow. - GGmVHtowH 7riegrdph.
