A curious application of electricity is
now employed in the Spanish army.
Conscripts wishing to escape military
service have, it seems, often resortetl to
the trick of bending the body while
being measured so as to bring their
stature below the limit prescribed for
the service. To prevent fraud of this
kind is the object of the new device.
When the man is standing perfectly
eject the backs Of the legs at the knees
press against electric contacts, causing
two bells to ring; while third bell is
similarly rung by pressure of the head.
For IL correct measurement the three
bells should ring simultaneously. The
ringing ceases when there is the least
bending.

The ancients had theories to account
for earthquakes-and very curious they
become III tile light Of modern inyestiga-
ton. Anaxagoras, the Rhod;an, saw in
them sort of cosmic fatulencs-win,ls
which had strayed into c:lverns having
no outlets. Aristotle believed them to
be due to the infiltration of water
through rocky sea-bottom, producing
vapors. Pliny ascribed them to the
pressure of air confined in deep caves,
reacting against the collapse of over
lying rock-strata; while St. Thomas, of
Aqninas, most ingeniously explained
that earthquakes may arise from the
struggles Of def,nct misbelicvers trying
to escape from a pit Of torment.

Mr.. T.. e. Fish has noticed that many
birds seem to possess powers of ventrilo-
qu;sm. From a distance of a few feet,
the cuckoo makes it's voice appear to
come from furlong away; singing on a
low branch, the thrush seems to be in
the tree-top; tho vesper.sparrow and
tho feld-sparrow are apparently in a
distant field, although really on a
neighboring fence. The robin aud the
cat-bird are endowed with a similar
power; and the oven-bird, singing at a
distance, almost causes the listener to
believe it to be within reach, by its
sharp, ringing notes.

Grant, Henry A. Tilden and John Kelly.
Grant has aged very much in the past
SIX months. He looks, and doubtless is,
sour. Chicago knocked him higher
than kite politically, and he turned
his attention to more profitable matters
such as horses, houses, bonds, business
nan, but his nest is better feathered
than That OF any of his compeerS. He
lives liz q palace surrounded by luxuries,
costly and unique. He is worth mill
Ion if he is worth a cent, and mOneyed
men seem to delight in adding to his
pile. Henry Tilden is S. T.'s brother,
tall, lean, ,cadaverous and shrewd. lie
IL Is who unties the money bag; to him
go the political pointers when they need
material aid'', as Kossuth called it.
He sat next to Grant, but they didn t
speak, anu [ doubt if either knew the
other Grant sat or the edge of his
seat, leaning himself on his umbrella,
his skin red and hot, his beard whitened,
his hat well on the front Of his head, a =
parently thinking. Tilden is character,
you know, and has played many parts
with success. That he believes firmly
in his brothers destiny is we'll known,
but that he favors the present project of
running him tor Governor this fall |
doubt. The fact is that S. j., though
very bright aud wide-awake for an old
man and very shaky on his pins. He
has had his last pull OH the political
teat, [ think Mr.. Kelly looks like an

square face and heavy jaw, enlarged;
the same sturdy, stubby figure, height

How FABE TEETH ARE MADE A
reporter of tie Star recently visited a
factory in tbs city where false teeth are
made by thenillion. In the process OF
manufacture the si!ex apd feldspar in
their crude sate are submitted to red
heat the eAct being to render them
more easily Dulverized. Having been
ground very inc in water and the water
evaporated, tie two materials mentioned
are dried all sifted. The kaolin7 is
washed FREE from impurities. These
materials, VIII teldspar, sponge platina,
and hux in roper proportion for the en-
amel, are mted with water and worked
into masses resembling putty. This
done, the uDaked procelaine masses are
ready tor the mouldingroom. The
moulds are two pieces, and are made
of brass, or-halt the teeth or sections
being on eiter side. The coloring ma
terials are fist placed in the exact po-
sition and uantity required, and the
body of the Doth ani the gum is insert
ed III lump,corresponding to the size Of
the teeth. Che moulds are then closed,
and they ae dried by a slow heat.
When perfctly dry they are taken out
and sent the trimmer's room. The
trimmers rmove all impertections, and
send themin trays of fire-clay to the
furnace, 1here, having remained for
twenty minutes, they are complete.-W1l-
