UPRIGHT PIANO.

The New Upright Pianos now manufactured by
this firm are instruments that really stand without
a rival They are the result of totally novel i'm
provement, invented by the firm, whereby all the
finest points of the celebrated Grand Pianos are re-
produced. The worst enemy of the piano is damp
ness. Numerous devices have been employed to
counteract its baneful effects with but little success
1t has been the good fortune of this firm, after
long experiment, to solve this enigma by substitu-
ting metal for wood in all parts of the action
tanning centres. This il ono of the greatest
improvements i'm pianos made i'm this CEN
fury. The new patent U pright Action of the
Chickering pianos is the only piano action
made in the world that is insensible to at
mespheric change. From its convenient shape
and the beauty and permanence of its tone, this
piano will undoubtedly soon become the most popu-
lar instrument in the United States.

Sounding Brass.

Two metals enter into the compost
ton Of large belS-tin and copper.
The former gives the bell a peculiar
brightness Of tone but il also renders it
brittle, The BelgIans use only % to 80
per cent Of tin, while the English use
% TO 81 per cent but the latter general
" make their bells thicker.
The reason for this is that instead of
being merely chimed, they are swung
around on wheel which brings the
hammer with great force upon the bell.
If the Belgian hell was subjected to the
"hard knocks, Of il, British neighbor,
it would soon crack and be remanded
to the bell foundry The Belgians do
not deal their bells such sturdy blows
as the Britons but strike them with
hammers, and require gentler stroke
to call forth their full tone than do those
of English manufacture.
The items OF thickness and proportion
of the bell are of the utmost Importance.
They vary from one-iifteenth to one
twelfth of the diameter at the thickest
part of the Sound-bow, and the height is
commonly about twelve times the thick
ness The English bell is about as
broad as il is long, measuring the
diameter from outside rim to rim, and
length from rim to top of cannon. But,
in fact, the thickness of the bell at diff
ferent levels is all important as that of
the sound-bow, and the diameter of the
crown as critical q dimension as that Of
the rim.
The small bell of the Belgians posses
ses, in proportion to its size, very
deep, rich tone, and this is probably due
to tho wide top-dameter, combined
with the thinness in certain portions of
the side halfway down, The way in
which altering the thickness affects tho
tone, and even the pitch of bell, is
shown by the fact that a sharp bell can
be llaticned by shaving of the metal in
side about the sound-bow.
Bell-making in England can only be
regarded rs experimental, and the
knowledge of the art in Belgium is
rather empirical than scientific.

INDIGESTION.
The Sand Blast

Among the wonderful and useful in
ventlons Of the time is the common
sand blast. Suppose you desire piece
of marble for a grayestone, You cover
the stone with sheet of wax no thick
or than wafer, then you cut in the
wax the name, date, etc, leaving the
marble exposed Now pass it under
the blast, and the sand will cut it away.
Remove the wax and you have the raised
letters. Take piece Of French plate
glass, say two feet by six, cover it with
fine lace and pass it under the blast,
and not thread of the lace will be in
iured, Let the sand will cut deep into
the glass wherever it is not covered with
the lace.
Now remove the lace, and you have
every delicate and beautiful figure
raised upon the glass. In this way
beautiful figures of all kinds are cut in
glass at a small expense. The workmen
can hold their hands under the blast
without harm, even when it is rapidly
cutting away the hardest glass, iron or
stone, but they must look out for finger
nails, for they will be whitfield off right
hastily. If they put on steel thimbles
to protect the nails it will do little good,
for the sand will soon white them
away; but if they wrap piece of soft
cotton around them they are Sfe. You
will at once see the philosophy OF it.
The sand whites away and destroys
any hard substance-even glass-but
does not affect substances that are soft
and yielding, like wax, cotton or fine
lace, or even the human hand.

Origin Of Lynch Law.
Albany Law journal.


Judge Lynch and Lynch law have
been usually supposed of American ORR
gin; but some doubt is thrown upon
this by the Pail Mall Gazette, which
says that the Virginian farmer named
Lynch who logged u thief with his own
hands "has probably no claim TO the
honor ascribed to him by doubtful
tradition" There was Judge Lynch
who was sent 10 America in 1878 to
suppress piracy; but the real Lynch is
said to have been u certain Mayor OF
Galway, ut the close of the fifteenth
century, who became famous for chang
ing his son with his own hands, out OF
On upper window, in execution of u
death sentence passed upon him for
robbery and murder" In this country
tho Virginia Lynch has usually had the
credit OF originating extra judicial pro-
ceedings, and the name which had been
given to them probably did not come
into general use until 4 time compare
