How Postage Stamps are Made.

Postage stamps are printed from ell
graved plates under q hydraulic press on
paper especially prepared for this pur-
pose. Two hundred stamps are printed
on one sheet at each motion of the press.
The colors used i'll the ink are ultra-ma-
rise blue, Prussian blue. chrome yellow
and Prussian blue (green). vermillion and
carmine. The sheets are gummed sepa-
rately: they are placed back upward up
on 4 Hat wooden support, the edges being
protected 10y q metallic frame, and the
gum-composed of an aqueous solution
Of gum dextrine with little acetic acid
and alcohol-is applied with wide brush.
pressed. Each sheet is cut in half, and
is then ready for the perforating machine
The periorating machine was invented
and patented by Mr.. Archer in 1852. The
patent was purchased by the Government
for twenty thousand dollars. The per-
forations are effected by passing the
sheets between two cylinders provided
with 4 series of raised bands which are
adjusted to Il distance apart equal to that
required between the rows of perfora-
tons. Each ring on the upper cylinder
has Il series of cylindrical projections
which tit corresponding depression i'll
the bands of the lower cylinder: by
these the perforatiomS are punched out,
and by Il simple contrivancc the sheet is
detached from the cylinders in which it
has been conducted by an endless band.
The sheets are finally subjected to heavy
pressure. by which the roughnes> caused
by the punching operation and and other
manipulations is removed.

Gold Excitement in Georgia

The discovery Of gold in the beds OF
the rivers i'll northern Georgia is Great
ing great excitement there. Two com
panies-one having Il capital of four mil
lions-have been formed for mining the
beds of these rivers. The work of exca-
waiting will be accomplished by the boats
OF the international Vacuum Dredging
Boat Company. on the same system now
in operation on the Pacific slope. The
mud from the bottoms of the rivers is
forced by atmospheric pressure, through
p pes resting on the bed of the river. on
to the deck. About five tons of mud
and sand from the river beds can be de-
livered on the deck in ten minutes. The
process is rapid, and large quantity of
mud can be thus mined in one day. The
beds of the Chestatee and Chattahoochee
rivers are SO rich in gold that the very
sands on the shore yield the precious
metal. The first boat is being built near
Dahlone9a. 1t is calculated to raise
about $1,000 worth of bullion per day
from the river bed. Many small noun
tain streams cross large veins of gold,
and these streams, flowing into the Ches-
tatec and Chattahoochee. have washed
this precious freight from their sources
for hundreds of miles. Large nuggets
are frequently found in little dips and

twenty miles of one river has been leased
from persons owning the land on either
side. at ten per cent on the yield. This
is an immense mine, as the beds can be
worked twelve or fourteen feet deep.

Zach Chandler as a Boxer.

Zach Chandler was not only a strong
man and an expert boxer. but he had the
sand to back his muscle and it didn t
take all day to rifle him.
Just at the close of the war, and the
day before the grand review in Washing
ton. the Senator came out to Bladens-
burg to visit the Michigan cavalry. The
boys Were in high spirits, and many of
the sixth We're interested spectators of a
boxing match, or rather series of set-tos
with the gloves.
Zach took his place in the circle I'M
known to all. and attracted no attention
until one of the boxers was driven back
upon him. Leaning forward the Sena-
tor whispered: Young man, | saw a
dozen good chances for your left in there.
Say, old coon, maybe you're on the
box?' called the other, rs he overheard
the remark. Zach peeled off his alpaca
coat put down his hat and took the
gloves from the one who had been worst
ell. The other man was the best boxer
in the regiment, and there was intense
excitement as the two squared off. Not
a pass was made for minute, and then
the Senator found an opening and sent a

opponent went down ike log. lie got

Scientific Notes,

II is asserted that a person dressed in
dark clothes is more liable to Infection
from contagious disease than one who
wears light-colored garments, from the
fact that PARTICLES emanating from decay
ing bodies are much more readily absorb
Ell by dark than by light fabrics. As an
evidence of the truth of the assertion. il
is stated that if a light and dark coat are
exposed to the fumes of tobacco for
short time. the dark one will be found to
smell stronger Of the smoke than the
other and will retain the odor longer
A physician in ST. Louis asserts that
gum exuded from the linden, the wood
from which most toothpicks are made,
produces Il most deadly poison known as
lindolinc. \ cat inoculated with needle
dipped in the poison died in eighteen
seconds, and the doctor gives as his opin-
ion that a pin scratch touched with lin
doine would cause the death of a man in
less than two minutes When very large

poisoning.
An old sportsman. of Michigan, claims
that he has III his house a SPIDERS web
which is an excellent barometer, being
almost invariably correct. When rains
and winds are expected. the spider short

When reefs are let out, fine weather may
be certain; but if the spider remains

| DIR. Hammond says that the roaring

circulation of the blood in your finger.
! Try a piece of wood and no sound is
