Under the name OF can electric ham

Under the name OF can electric ham
mer," M[cssrs. Siemens and Halske Of
Berlin have lately patented an ar
rangement which consists essentially
of three coils and a hollow rod Of iron
or soft steel, which can be moved to
and fro within tho coils In the direction
of their axis. BY means OF constant
current, of unvarying direction, sent
through the other coils machine or
battery sends alternating currents, by
virtue Of which the rod is alternately
drawn In ana thrust out with great
rapidity. The motion on one side Is
limited by spiral spring working an
elastic cushion. With screw arrange
mcnt the rod can be worked with The
necessary stop by-step rotation In bor-
ing rock. When tho boring in rock
has gone 80 far that the border on
longer reaches the rock, one OF
the rodguiding projections on the
upper coil Is struck, and this has the
effect of dlsplacing all three coils In
their stand, wherein they are held
fast by friction.

A NEW SILK WORM European silk
producers have never had any great
success, and lately they have met with
heavy losses. The greater portion Of
the silk needed in manufactures is i'm
ported from China and Japan, and It
Is of poor quality. The people Of those
countries jealously keep tho finest
products for home use. AS cOnse-
quence tho French manufacturers are
constantly on the lockout for a substi-
Jute for tho silk worm, and at last 1t
seems as If they had found 1t. An i'm
ported moth has been naturalizod liv-
Ing In state Of freedom and reproduc-
ing It's kind without any Interference

about In the month of June in the
squares and gardens of Paris, where
the ailanthus tree grows. In winter
the cocoons Of pretty pearly gray color
may be seen hanging from leailess
branches of tho trees. This Insect is
known as the attaius cynthia and was
introduced in France by tho acclima-
tizatIOn society under the direction OF
Guevin- Mineville. The cocoon Is not
very rich In silk, and being strongly
tncrusted is difficult to unwind. In
winding, only single thread is yield
cd; too fine to be used, and requiring
expensive and special machinery; but
M. le DOuX has partly succeeded in
separating the gum from the silk, and
can wind from several cOcoons at one
time, securing threads, or raw silk
