Launching a Ship.

Not one-half of the people who wit
ness the launching ola vessel can tell
how it is done. They hear a great
sound ofpounding and driving of wedges
for half an hour or SO, then q loud
shout is raised, and the ship starts
slowly at first, but gradually increasing
her speed, slides with steady stately
motion from off the pile Of timber and
blocks where she has been standing for
months; and where but moment be-
fore the huge creature lowered aloft
nothing remains but debris of timber
and planks while out on the water
floats one of the most graceful works
of man.
When the ship is about ready to
launch her immense weight rests prin-
cipally upon blocks some eight or ten
inches square on the ends, and per-
haps some fifteen or eighteen inches
in length. These blocks are placed
directly under the keel, and in order
to launch the vessel it is necessary to
transfer the weight of the vessel to the
two long lines of heavy timber
reaching about two-thirds the length
of the vessel on either SIDE, and aboyf
midway the bilge or bottom. ThIc
ways are SIMPLY two lengths Of 49,
with thick layer Of grease b.

4 TeutOnic Argument.

In the Legislature of Ohio, some
years ago there was a warm dispute
whether a certain proposed railroad
should commence at given point
down or at certain point up the river.
"Who ever heard" said down-the-
river advocate, "of beginning anything
at the top? Who ever heard of build
ing a. chimney from the top downward?
Who ever saw a house begun at the
top?"
Up jumped Dutch member from
an up-the-river country. "Meester
PRESIDENT, de Gentleman zay dat dees
beezness ees all Won hoomboog, because
wee wants to pegeen our railroat nit
de top ov de shtate, und he make some
seekly combarisons apout de houze
und de schimney. l veel also ask de
jentlemans Won question. Zen hees
bart of the shtate, ven dey pegins to
to built Won veil, do dey pegins NIT de
bottom ov de veil, or do dey pegins
nit de top ov de veil? Veel de jentle-
mans bleese answer me dat leetle Won
question:"
The laughter which followed this
Teutonic retort showed who in the opin-
ion of the legislators, had the better of
the argument.

them, so that as soon as the shin ac-
quires any momentum they will slip one
along the other. 10 transfer the
weight of the vessel on these WAYS. so
that gravity-the stern or the heaviest
part Of the vessel being much lower
than the bow-will cause her to move
is the whole secret of launching. To
DO this, between the top of the ways
and the vessel are driven pire wedges,
which Of course, raise her somewhat,
and relieve the blocks under the keel
of part of the weight resting on them.
, This done, workmen take their places
under the vessel and with iron wedges
cut and knock away the blocks. When
these are removed, the entire weight
of the vessel settles at once upon the
creased ways, and the result is exactly
the same as would be if person should
seat himselfupon a sled pointing down
hill upon an icy slope-away she goes!
There seems to be a strange sort of
fascination for most people in the
launching of large vessel, and in our
shlpbuilding ports it is not uncommon
for thousand persons to be present
to enjoy the pectacle.-Poter's A,neri-

Chinese Dentistry.

1t is well-known that the Chinese at
tribute toothache to the gnawing of
worms, and that the dentists profess to
take these worms from decayed teeth.
But how they performed this trick, and
so artfully concealed it in the hurry of
daily business, was secret only recent
ly solved by European inquirer.
After some difficulty and delicate ne
gotiation, an intelligent-looking native
practitioner was induced to hand over
the implements of trade, together with
a number ofworms, and to give instruc-
tions in the method of procedure.
When a patient with toothache applies
for relief, if the tooth is solidly fixed in
the socket, the gam is separated from
it with a sharp instrument and made
to bleed. During this operation the
cheek is held on this side by bam-
boo spatula, both ends of which are alike
and on the end held in the hand
some minute worms are concealed
under thin paper pasted to the spatula.
When all is ready, this is adroitly
turned and inserted in the mouth, and
the paper becoming moistened is very
easily torn with the sharp instrument
used for cutting the gums; the worms
mix with the saliva, and the dentist, of
course picks them out with pair of
forceps. The patient having ocular
emonstration that the cause of the
disease has been removed, has good
reason to expect relief, which in many
cases would naturally follow the bleed
ing of the gum. When the pain returns
the same operation is performed over
again, and fresh supply Of worms
fully accounts for the recurring
trouble. These worms are manufac-
tured in quantities to suit the trade,
and they are very cleverly done; still,
to carry out the delusion fully, the
dentists are obliged to keep on hand a
few live worms to show their patients
explaining that most of those taken
from the tooth are killed either by
powder which is often applied, or the
process of removing them with the
forceps. The practice just described, it
may be added, is resorted to when the
tooth is firmly set in the jaw.

Presidents and Their Faith.

A Washington letter says all the
presidents were, with one exception,
men who respected christianity.
Washington and Garfield. however,
we're the only ones who were church
communicates. Adams married a
clergyman's daughter Abigail Smith),
but he did not accept her views. He
was inclined to Unitarianism, which,
in his day, was becoming very prevalent
in Massachusetts. Jefferson was not a
believer in christianity, at least while
president. He had, during his resi-
dence in France, become skeptical,
and his election was opposed by some
on the score of infidelity. After Tom
Payne had written the Age of Reason,
Jefferson invited him to return to
America. which was understood to be
a direct recognition and acceptance Of
his opinions. Inidelity, at that time,
was so fashionable that in polite socie-
ty it was rather eccentric to vow diff
ferent opinions. Madison, while a
student at Princeton college, was of a
religious turn. but it wore Oft under
the cares of Office. His early religious
connections were Presbyterian. Mon.
roe is said to have favored Episcopacy.
John Quincy Adams was inclined to
Unitarianism. jackson was a Metho-
dist and died in the communion of
that church. Van Buren was brought
up in the Reformed Dutch church, but
afterward became inclined to Epico-
pacy. Harrison favored the Motho-
dist. Tyler was an Episcopallan.
Polk was baptized by a Methodist
preacher after his term of Office had
expired. Taylor favored Episcopacy.
Fillmore attended the Unitarian church.
Frank Pierce was member Of the
Congregationalist society in Concord,
though not a communicate. Buchan-
an was Presbyterian. Lincoln at
tended Gurley's churcn as often as he
could, but was not a member, though
his religious convictions were deep.
Grants predictions are well known,
and so are Garfeld's.
