SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

"A solid mountain of fine red, brown
and white sandstone has been discov-
cred near Regain, on the Texas & Pacific
Railroad.
The underground military wires in
the German empire, according to tele-
graphic operators, conduct electricity
far better than the overland lines.
"A silk association has for some time
past existed in Utah, and extensive
preparations have been made for the
manufacture of silk. Skilled European
operatives have been sent for, and the
factory will probably open about the
middle of June.
The following recipe for imitation
of ground glass is from an Antwerp
scientific journal: Paint the glass with
the following: Sandarach, Is drachms;
mastic, drachms; ether, "a ounces;
benzine, 6 to Is ounces. The more ben.
zine the coarser the grain of the imita.
ton glass will be.
-Contagion is largely propagated by
means of the clothing, and clothing is
best disinfected by heat. No form Of

placed in box or q closet maintained
at that temperature for perhaps an hour.
Carbolic acid will not destroy the effect

"A very interesting experiment with
q new telephone invented by Robert M.
Lockwood and his son, William, of New
York City, was tried recently between
New York and Philadelphia over the or.
binary telegraph wires. The result was
q surprise to all who were present. Con.
versation, even to q whisper, in Phila.
delphia, was heard with perfect distinct.
ness of articulation, such as is perfectly
practicable for commercial purposes.
The principle claimed by the inventors
is that of molecular disturbance and the
suppression of all vibration.
"A valuable plastic material has
been introduced in Germany for orna-

Of sifted whiting are mixed with solu-
ton of one part of glue, and, on those
two being we'll worked up into paste,

turpentine is added, in order to prevent
brittleness; q small amount of linseed
oil is also put with the mixture, to obvi-
ate its clinging to the hands, and the

Inmates of our AlmsI1nses. 4

4; Ths populG 6prsssion about the
pauper ollss y a queer mixture Of in.
didefencS and ssenfimentA pity. While
not one IN 8 thousand has ever taken
the pains to see the inside of an aims
house, there is yet prevalent idea that
almshouses, for the most part, shelter
the unhappy and guiltless poor, whom
unmercifuf disaster has followed fast
and followed faster until it has chased
them to this last photographic who
have come from vine-covered cottages,
or tidy rooms up one flight of stairs in
tenement houses, with q big Bible on the
table and a pot of flowers in the win.
dow, or even from luxurious homes des-
olated by commercial panics. As mat
ter of fact, the great majority of Ameri-
can indoor paupers belong to what are
called the lowest classes, and seek the
almshouse not because of unmerciful
disaster, but because of very common
vices. Between half and two-thirds of
them are of foreign birth.
Any one who has visited many aims
houses or talked with the men who know
most of paupers will recognize the same
old story. "Paupers, said a plain
spoken almshouse keeper to a conven.
ton of Pennsylvania Directors of the
Poor-"paupers, though not criminals,
are, so far as my knowledge extends,
largely from the lower classes of socie-
ty; most of them being ignorant, and
many of them possessed Of all the low
and mean instincts of human nature,
with scarcely aredeeming quality" The
writer once asked the steward of a large
city almshouse if he had many persons
come to him who had formerly been
prosperous, and had, through disease or
some other cause not their own fault,
been reduced to seek public help. lie
said, "Never;" then added, "Well, yes,
there was one man; he had seven horses,
and he was taken sick, and sold one
horse after another. And there was
another man who was said to have had
considerable property, but he drank. -
l asked him if he had many applicants
who had been decent, industrious, labor
ing people, and had come there from any
other cause than disease or old age.
He answered emphatically, "Not one. ~
This man spoke from an experience Of
nineteen years..
Probably, it is a liberal estimate to
put down one-tenth of the paupers as
DeOple deserving of SVmOathV the other
nine. tepths are in the almshouse because
they have not wit enough or energy
enough to get into prison. Such people
do not have hard life in the aims
houses. The squalor does not disturb
men and women who have known moth
ing else; the immortality is temptation ;
and even in the worst kept houses there
is usually plenty to eat and little to do;
in any case, they have not the heavy and
irksome task of thinking for themselves.

A Mothers Sacrifice.

Mrs. McFARIANp,r residing on Sussex avenue
Newark, N. j., and Mrs. Coryell, neighbor.
started for Brooklyn few mornings ago. to
visit Greenwood Cemetery, aud plant flowers
on Mrs. McFarland's sons grave. Tney were
accompanied by Mrs Coryell's foursyear-old
daughter. When they reached the depot Mrs.
Mcfarland crossed the track first, and
the child attempted to follow her.
when an express train which does not
stop ut the station came laundering
along. Mrs. Coryell, seeing her child's immi.
nent peril gave . piercing scream, and, with.
out hesitation, jumped on the track and
pushed the child out Of danger. She then lost
her presence Of mind, and, becoming para
lyzed with fear. was unable to move in either
direction. The engineer whistled down brakes,
but before the train could DO stopped the loco
motive struck Mrs. OOryell and hurled hel
over to the platform. Her injuries were CON

or nippers extending from the hinder

rings. The vulgar name, earwig, is ow.
ing to the supposed prediction of the
insect to enter the human ear; an erro.
neous impression, doubtless based on
the instinct of the animal, which teaches
it to take refuge in dark cavities. Even
if it did enter the organ of hearing, it
could do no harm, as it could not pene-
trate any further than the drum, and
might be easily dislodged from the
passage by q drop or two of oil. Ear
wigs dislike light, and live entirely in
obscure places, concealing themselves
under stones, in cracks Of trees, and
sometimes in deep flowers. They are
social, and numbers are found together
They are voracious eaters, feeding on
flowers and boring into ripe fruit, or, il
they can not get vegetable diet, con
tenting themselves, with oarrien or ma
nure. If kept without noutishment,
they devour each other, Their only
utility to man IS the war which they
wage on several insects destructive "a

Set Free by an Earthquake.

An incident which occurred during the late
earthquake at Chios strikin9ly illustrates the
truth of the old adage that '''tis an i'll wind
that blows nobody any good," and ~ well
worth the attention Of missionary circles.
Some months aso considerable excitement
was caused By the imprisonment for life Of .
Turkish mollah, BY name Khodja Ahmet, for
the otiense Of having helped DR.. Kohle to
translate the Bible and certain Protestant
prayers into the Turkish language. Khodja
Ahmet was shut up in prison at Chios; and
there be would probably have remained until
released by death but for the earthquake,
which knocked down his prison walls, and
moreover effected tho demolition in such a
ekillful manner that he was uninjurel by tho
wreck Of the building. When Khod,a Ahmct
realized what had happened. he wisely took to
his heels, and, without reporting himself to
the authorities, scampered to the hay, where
he managed to get on board an English
steamer, and, according to the Leua,t Herald,
. ut present ia London.

are obtained, which are as astonishing
as they are inexplicable- excepting 50

SeIf.dOct0ring.

The desire to be "his own doctor''
seems, like hope, to ''spring eternal in
the human breast, + and often leads 10
most disastrous consequences. Many q
man who, if his horse or COW is sick,
sends at once for the veterinary practi-
toner, will run the risk of prescribing
for ailments of his own that are on the
face OF them quite as serious and as
much in need Of professional treatment.
He will take the advice of an ignorant
neighbor as to what is '..good for" an
illness, when Id would laugh 1t the idea
Of going to the same person for counsel
In any other business or concern what
ever. In the days of our grandmothers,
when the household materia medica con-
sisted Of ,''roots and yarbs," with, . few
simple drugs like EPSON salts, this do.
mestic or clay" prescribing was less
dangerous than in these days, when con.
centrated and powerful agents have be-
come 30 common and familiar. The
household rmelfes d. the plde4 time
were rarely fa6le to do mich harm,
even il they did no good. The cure was
generallyin reAlityleft to nature, though
the .'roots and YARDS" got the credit Of
it. But most of the drugs of our day are
not of this inert or negative character,
and the danger in their use by the igno.
rant is q real and serious danger. The
most powerful medicines that unprofes-
sional people of former generation
ventured to fool with bore about the
same relation to those now in vogue that
gunpowder does to nitro-glycerine; yet
the latter are used even more recklessly
than the former ever were. The spread
