SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

A transparent leather, said to pos
sess great strength, is now made in Ger
many, by new process.
The London papers describe a
small steam engine in which two verti-
cal aerial screws of twelve feet diameter
are driven at siXty-seven revolutions a
minute, and effecting an upward thrust
equal to 120 pounds, the engine being
equal to three-horse power, and weigh
ing eighty pounds, one-half of which was

"A new hot water generator consists
IN closely wound water coil enclosed
IN q double cylindrical easing, arranged
so that the heated air passes lengthwise
of the coil in both directions, and
through the outer casing to the escape
fiue; the heat is thus utilized to the
greatest extent, and the water in the
coil is rapidly heated.--N. Y. Sun.
A foreign exchange states that
wealthy landowner in the Tyrol has
made an application of the microphone
to the detection of snbterranean springs.
lie fixed the microphones at the spots
where he supposed water might exist,
each being connected with its telephone
and battery. Then at night he put his
ear to each of the instruments and lis

A New Yorker has invented an
atomizer and air moistener for cloth
factories, which throws out moisture in
mist so fine that it is at once absorbed
by the air, and not even the smallest
drop of water falls upon machinery or
fabrics. The use of such contrivance
is valuable in creating healthful at
mosphere and making it as easy to han
die threads in our dry air as in the
moister air of England. - Christian

buckingham County, Va, has
somewhat curious industry. Within an
area of ten or fifteen miles there are
some forty Gistilleries engaged in manu-
featuring oil from sassafras root. Each
mill gives employment to three hands,
use about 1000 pounds of root day for
each mill, and produce from one to one
and half gallons of oil weighing ten
pounds to the gallon. Thus the forty
distilleries consume daily $4,000 pounds
Of sassafras root, make about fifty gal
Ions of oil, worth about $3.50 a gallon,
and thus earn 1925 per day.-N. Y.
Post.
Stem winding watches are now
made on different plan from what has
been customary, the improved system
possessing, it is thought, some special
advantages. Thus, when it is desired
to set the hands, the stem is first drawn
out, which causes collar on the end of
it to bear upon a stud in the shorter arm
of a two armed curved lever. This de-
presses the long arm of the latter, which
turns a yoke and discharges the gearing
from the spring arbor, connecting
an independent wheel with the hand
setting train, to which motion is i'm
parted by turning the stem. AS soon as
pulling on the stem ceases. the yoke is
thrown back to its place by q spring.
Normally, another wheel, carried by the
yoke, meshes with the arbor wheel of
the handspring, and is thus always
ready for winding by pressing down up
on and winding the stem. The arrange
ment is simple Chicago Times.

Into the great unknown,
Bravely he departed.
Loved ones, left behind.
Dropping, broken hearted.
But though he has passed away;
Turned again to natures clay,
His bright deeds and noble worth
Are not blotted from the earth.
Into the darkness drear,
Unfaltering he advances;
Bitter tears, breaking hearts,
Can not stay deaths lances.
But the record he has made
Is not touched by deaths sharp blade;
His example yet will live
To fainting hearts true courage give.
In deaths unending sleep,
Calmly, he reposes;
Loving hands gently strew
Sweetest flowers and roses
But no flower on his breast
Purer is, or more at rest;
They will wither, die ana fade,
Whilst he endless fame has made.

THE GOLDEN YEAR.


We sleep and wake and sleep, but all thing
move;
The sun flies forward to his brother sun,
The dark earth follows wheeled In her cclipsc
And human things rcturningOn themselves,
Move onward, leading up the golden year,
All, tho the times when some new thought
can bud
Are but as poets seasons when they flower,
Yet seas that daily gain upon the shore
Have cbb and How conditioning their march,
And slow and sure comes up the golden year
When wealth no more shall rest in moundcl
heaps,
But smit with frcCr flight shall slowly melt
In many streams to fattcn lower lands,
And light shall spread, and man be lkcr man
Through all the seasons of the golden year.
Shall eagles not be eagles: wrens he wrcns:
II all the world were falcons, what Of that.
The wonder Of the eagle were the less,
But lie not less the eagle. Happy days
Roll onward, leading up the golden year,
Fly happy, happy sails and bear the Press;
Fly happy with the mission Of the cross.
Knit land to land, and blowing hcavenward
With silks, and fruits, and spices free Of tell
Enrich the markets Of the golden year,
But We grow old" All, when hallall mcu't

Be each mans rule: and universal peace
Lie like shaft Of light across the land,
And like lane of beams athWart the sea

santa re New MrNltlu, Oci. -.
Passengers from old Mexico bring
the information that hostile Indians
are in that country and are committing
extensive dcpredations in the Sierra
Madrc.
This country is reported rs being cX-
cccdingly rich in mipcral and is des-
tined to become Il great mining region.
But the efforts to develop property
there so far have proved in vain on ac-
count of the Indians. In January last
Il party of Americans and McXicans
started ON Il mining expedition 10 these
mountains, but were attacked by In
dians, who killed several of them and
wounded Others. During the present
month other miners followed them
with Il like result. They left Chihua-
hua for Dolores in the Sierra Madrc,
ON October 9th, the party consisting
of X. W. Petrikan, of Pennsylvania,
Valentine Nevarra, guide, Of San An
tonic, Tex, and one or two McXicans.
They were joined on 18th by John Ber.
~, IN Englishman, after which they
iourncyed forty miles and were joined
by several other McXicans. Shortly
after this the party were attacked by
Apachcs and Pctrikan, Berry and one
Mexican were killed, while several
others were wounded. The survivors
made their way back to chihuahua
where they now are. OF the miners
who originally went down to develop
the property in the Dolores district
there are only three left, and one of
these is moving about Chihuahua with
bullet in his neck. The above facts
would indicate that the Indians are
still in force in old Mexico, and that
mining is unhealthy work down there
rs vet. Notwithstanding this it is be-
lievcd that the Sierra Madre country
will be developed at an early day. The
Mexican officials say that the govern
mcnt can easily run the Indians out of
the country if it appears TO be worth
the trouble, danger and expense. They
say that the country is worthless and
that it is cheaper to let the Indians re-
main there than to fight them, but that
if enough interest is awakened among
Americans in the Sierra Madros towar-
rant the expense the government will
clear the country of Indians and pro-
tcct mining and prospecting parties.
This is an earnest that Mexico is favor
able to American capitalists and will
even make an effort to induce them to
interest themselves in mining down
there.
