The Board of Managers of the American
blbie Society, having undertaken the fourth
general supply of the United States with tho
Holy Scriptures, havo issued ciroua giving
concise account of the magnitude and no.
cess''y for tho work. These circulars state
that the fist general supply was made in
1851 tho second in 1856, and the third in
1915, and they point to the great Increase in
population between those periods, and par
tIcuIarIy since the last, which makes the work
tho greatest CT the kind ever attempted in
eny land. During last year out of I'll, 636
families visited III 1872 were found without
the Scriptures, and the dearth thus indicated
with tho we'll known needs of freedmen and
the million of Sunday school workers and
scholars who must be supplied nre felt to be
the necessities for the work 1t will be done
by the cooperation Of the eighteen district
superintendent aud 1000 auxilinrics of the
society, together with distribution by pastors
and voluntary helpers, church organizations,
Sunday school, tract publication and other
sooiotios, and home and city mission aries.

The names OF these will readily recur 10 our read

Hemp and JNte.-The important SUB
iect of distinguishing hemp from jute and
otner fibres is treated In a recent numter
of the INontteur de Ia TeinttUe the Chief
fact developed being that, he etofore. In
vcstIgators have generally confounded juie
with phormiurn teHax, OF have not suffi-
GENTLY established the difference between
them. The methods recommended for these
two tibres are as follows.
First, to steep the yarn, or tissue, In nj
trous acid Of thirty-six degrees, when the
nitrous vapor causes jute and New Zealand
fax to turn Of dark red color, while tiax
and hemp only assume pale yellow color.
Second, TO steep the material IN chlo-ated
water, somewhat concentrated, for abcut
a minute, then pour upon it a few drops of
ammonia: ths phormIum and the iue.
under these circumstance, assume a fine.
red color, which gradually turns brown, and
then disappears, while hemp and fax are
but very slightly affected.
A critical examination of these metbods
reveals the fact, in the first place. that Iute
is Of en- substituted for hemp, which It re-
sembles closely, and much reduces the
quality of the cloths, as juie is affected
rapidly by moisture and alkalies. Phor-
MUM il unimportant-the fibre beng too
coarse to be mistaken. Nitro acid fumes
are found to he test tor phormium tenax,
but not for iute. The chlorine and am-
Donls method is common 10 the two tex

A Dozen Years Yet.

For several years many of the residents
of certain village in Pennsylvania had
been predicting that the old man S, was
slowly dying of consumption and in March
last bets of three to one were freely offered
that he would not outlIve the summer.
About the first OF april the cid man went
to Phlladelphis TO be examined by The doc
tors to see If his case was as bad as thought
for, and after an absence of several days,
he retured home very quietly and called
his eldest son in from the BAN and said:
Peter, it is generally believed by our
neighbors that l have consumption ?"

Gold ana Sand.

A novel apparatus for separating gold
from sand WAS recently completed and
tested III this country. 1t is intended
for use in the placer regions of the
West, Mexico, and Central America,
where gold-bearing sand Is found at a
distance from wafer sufficient for hy-
draulic mining The machine is about
five feet in diameter, and is arranged to
throw the sand by centrifugal force
against a wall OF mercury, maintained in
position by centrifugal action. In this
way, it is claimed, every particle of gold
is brought In contact with the mercury
and amalgamated, while the sand is
blown away by the mems of an air-blast.
The machine Is said to clean a ton of
sand In twenty minutes, and to be SO
thorough IN Its operation as to make it
possible to work over with profit the
tailing of mines worked by other sys-
tens. The power required to operate
the machine Is not gwen.

The last device Tor protecting safes
from the depredations OF thieves consists
of q magnetic OF electro wire, battery
and an alarm. the safe or safes stand on
plates inserted in the floor. and an inner
insulating plate runs on all sides and door
of the safe. These are connected with the
police station or any other place, where a
warning will receive prompt attention.
ANY attempt to remove, break, drill, insert
a key, or turn the knob Of combination
lock, breaks the circuit and starts the
alarm. which will continue ringing until
released. The clarm can be detached dur
ing business hours. Old safes cannot be
fitted with this valuable protection.
