Houses Rnili Of Cotton.

vi all substances apparently the least
likely to be used in TIE construction uf
a tireproof building. cotton would per
haps take the first rank, and paper the
second; and yet both, these materials
are actually being employed for the pur-
pose indicated, and their use will prob
ably extend. Compressed paper pulp
is successfully used in the manufacture
of doors, wall panelings and for other
similar purposes, with the result that
all risk of wrapping and cracking is OBJ
waited, while increased lightness is at
tanned and the fear Of dry-rot is forever
banished Papier- after having
served a useful purpose in an um-
obtrusive manner for years rs n ma
terial for small trays, paper-kuives
and other such light articles, has now
suddenly assumed still more impor-
tant position in the industrial world. A
still more sudden and striking advance
has been made in the employment Of
cotton as a building material A pre-
paration called celluloid, in which cot
ton is leading ingredient, has been
used lately rs n substitute for ivory in
the manufacture of such articles M

now Canadian manufactures has in
vented process by which compressed
cotton may be used, not merely for
doors and window-fr frames, but for the
whole facade of large buildings. The
enormous and increasing demand Cor
paper for its normal uses rs a printing
and writing material prevents the ex-
tended use of papier-mache as a build
ing material, for which it is so well
suited in so many ways; but the pro-
duction of cotton is practically unlim-
tied, and there seems to be large field
available for its use in its new capacity
as substitute for bricks-or at least
plaster-and wood. Treated with GER
tain chemicals and compressed, it can
be made perfectly fire proof and as hard
as stone, absolutely air and damp proof;
and material is thus produced admir-
ably adapted for the lining-internal

shell may or may not be constructed of
other material, while it easily lends it,

The Gold iielders.

The frs: piece of gold found in Cali
fornia was worth 50 cents, and the
second s.. Since that time one nugget
has been found worth SIS, 200; two
21,000; one, $4,000; two, $1,000; one,
S650o; four, $1,000; twelve worth from
$1,000 to $1,000 and eighteen worth
$1,000 to $1,000, have been found and
recorded in the history of the state. In
addition to the above, numberless mug
gets worth from 500 to 800 are men
toned in the annals of California gold
mining during the last thirty years.
From the date of the discovery of gold
IN California to the present time the
yield has been about $1,000, ,000, 900;
therefore it is very easy to see the
small figure that nuggets cut in the
gold yield. Big nuggets are very fine
things to show, but after all it is the
fine gold-the dust-that shows up.
Although ten years younger than Cali
fornia, and producer of less preci-
Gus metal, Nevada has yielded in good
solid silver bars $275,000,000. The an
nual product of gold is now less than
81 100000 throughout the world, and
Its foreign coinage has practically
ceased. In the United States the pro-
duction of gold has of late years greatly
diminished.

Our SeOundrels.

THEY WILL SOON STEAL TEXAS POOR.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 2S.-Adyices from
Texas say that Land Commissioner
Walsh has discovered big scheme ON
the part Of Wisconsin and Michigan
lumber and mill men to acquire sew
eral million acres of pine land in east
ern Texas. They have employed law
yers TO have the lands surveyed, and to
obtain information regarding them,
and have offered to purchase all the
lands at one dollar per acre; some of
the lawyers engaged have formed
small syndicate and offered a dollar
and half per acre for part Of the lands.
THIS exposed the big scheme of the
northern men, which was, as soon as
they secured the land, TO stop the get
ting out Of lumber, or to gauge the
amount in such way as. to advance
prices greatly, and to realize immense
profits. Both propositions were reject
ed by the land commissioner, and Gov
Roberts viii recommend to the next
legislature that provisions be made for
selling to actual mill men the lumber
on the stump, and reserve tine land to
the state.

Boy Inventors.
~ ~.

Some Of the most important inven-
tions have been the work Of mere
boys. The invention of tine valve mo-
tion to the steam engine was made by
a boy. Watt left the engine in a very
incomplete condition, from the fact
that he had no way to open or close
the valve except by means of levers
operated by the hand. He set up a
large engine at one Of the mines, and
boy was hired to work these valve lev
ers. Although this was not hard work,
yet il required his constant attention.
AS he was working these levers he saw
that parts Of the engine moved in the
right direction, and at the exact time
that he had to open or close the valves.
He procured strong cord and made
one end fast to the proper part Of the
engine, and the other end to the valve
lever; and the boy had the satisfaction
of seeing the engine move off with per-
feet regularity of motion.
a short time after the foreman
came around and found the boy play
ing marbles at the door. Looking at
the engine he soon saw the ingenuity
of the boy, and also the advantages of
so great an invention. Mr. Watt then
carried out the boys inventive genius
in a practical form, and made the
steam engine a perfect automatic
working machine.
