Success at Last in the Effort to Burst H
 Roller Nearly Full of Water.
 rFron, the Pittsburg (Penn.) Commercial
 The boiler experiments came to an end at Munhall farm yesterday afternoon, and re- suited in the conversion of all present to MT. Lawson's theory that boilers can De eNplooeu b1 design, and that explosions are not caused by low water but by concussions caused by the sudden bursting of superheated water into steam when vacuum Is created Tn boiler. Mir. Lawson and Captain Fehren- batch went to Munhall early in the morning, and Messrs Getchell, Atkinson and Batchel- Tor followessr on later train. After several hours hard work the diaphragm was cut out of the boiler sufficiently to allow the steam to rise freely from the water to the steam compartment, and at I:l5 CLOCK fire was started The steam rose rapidly, and when the gauge showed 90 pounds. with 23 inches of water in the boiler, the party went into the bomb proof and Mir Lawson opened the valve for the first time. No ex- piosion followed. and none was expected, but the pressure continued to increase at the rate of l24 pounds a minute and Mir. Law son opened the valve with every p pounds until the gauge showed POO pounds The variations as recorded were not as great as on previous occasions, but this was caused bv the gaupe-pipe filling with condensed steam After the pressure reached 2OO pounds the valve was opened three times The third time, with the pressure 235 pounds, there was report like cannon. Those Tn the bomb proof heard something heavy taLl on the roof. and they knew there had been an explosion. When the door was opened ,l.s II was easy enough to find where the boiler nad lain hui neither the boiler nor the founda- tion was visible. On the roof of the bomb nroof was found twisted piece of iron that had once been the back head of the boiler, { and all around within radius of 200 yards other fragments of iron and pieces of brick ! and stone were found. The force ot the ex- nIosion must have been terrific, as the largest ] piece found was only 2t feet long and 10 l inches wide, and it is twisted out of all sem blance of boiler iron. Other pieces found were torn in strings, and others are an inch 1 wide and II or 15 inches long. One of the

A Pompeiian Mother with Her Child.


 discovery has lately been made in Pom peii which will have much interest for the readers of the AthenGunl. Traces, says the report which I copy. ''have been found of a most affecting scene. A mother, beaten down and surrounded by the lapttH which had been rained down from Yesuvius, was holding on high an infant, already nearly re- ducec to a skeleton, to save it from her own unhappy fate In this she did not succeed. for the child perished with her. Liquid plaster of Paris, as has been the practice for some years in such cases, having been poured in, traces of human bones were perceived, as also the hollow occa- stoned by the consumption of the body. This operation revealed the living form Of the infant held on high and supported on her head by the hands of the mother. These were adorned by gold bracelets, indicating. perhaps. the superior condition of the suf- ferer. Of the remains of the mother, owing to the nature of the lower stratum of Idptth in which they were buried, it has been i'm possible to ascertain the torDld." Only the remains of the skeleton, with some pins and pieces of money, have been recovered. 1 photograph of the infant, with the hands of l its mother has been made from the cast | The plaster, which contains the bones of the | child and of the hands of the mother, has | been placed ill the little museum lu PompeiI, l together with those of many others preserved [ in a similar manner but, affecting as they are, there is none which tells such lamenta- | ble tale as that of the mother attempting to | saye her child.

How Chfnamen Bargain for Wives,
 IT. 4h. N-.-.h rhL--. Lr.--ra

An,Australian Chinaman, when anxious to have wife of his own nation sends letter to an agent in Hong Kong. The fOllo~ing is a condensed translation of one of these epistles: II want a wife. She must be maiden under 20 years of age, and must not have left her fathers house. She must have never read book and her eyelashes must be half an inch in length. Her teeth must be as sparkling as the pearls of Ceylon- Her breath must be like unto the scents of the magnificent odorous groves Of Java, and her attire must be from the silken weayers of the Ka Li-Ching, which are on the banks of the greatest river in the world-the owerhow- ing Yangtse- -Kiang." The-price of Q Chinese woman delivered in Sydney is e3S; but two Chinese women only cost e52; therefore the heathen Chinese import the women couples. The importer never sees his wo- men before they arrive. and then he general Iy selects the best looking one. The other Is shown around to a number of well-to-do Chinamen, and, after they have inspected her, she is submitted to what may be called public aution- At recent sale at Sydney young girl, aged about 19, wes offered, and. after some spirited bidding she was purchas- ed by wealthy Chinese stOrekeeper, whose place of business is in one of the leading towns of New South Wales, for e12O. The melancholy aspect of the Celestial girl, as she went away in company with the man who purchased her, was deplorable to the last degree.

A Watch Recovered After Twenty Years.

From the San Francisoo Call
 Ihirty-one years ago a gentleman nov oc- cupyiDg a prominent place in Masonic circles ill this city, then residing in an interior coun- ty of the State, sent an order to London for the manufacture of fine gold watch of Eng fish make, duplex movement, heavy gold magic cases and appropriate scroll work During the following year the watch, a mas terpiece, costing S4O0, was received, and was carried by its owner for the next nine or ten years. In 1861 friend started for this city on visit, bringing the watch with him, since which time nothing has been heard of him. the supposition being that he was murdered and plundered by some of the bad char acters that were so prevalent here at that time. The missing man had abundant means, and left behind him piece of mining prop- erty worth S3O,0OO or $40, 600, which, by the lapse of time and the local mining laws, passed into other hands showing conclu- sively that at least some accident had over taken him The owner of the watch moUrned the loss of his. friend, and regretted the miss ing gtime-piece. After some years he moved to this city, where in time the above incl dents became to memory as Q dream few days ago he was conyersing with friend in a jewelry store. when 3 stranger stepped up alongside of him, laid watch on the counter and asked the proprietor to purchase 1t, and, to the astonishmsnt of the Thilom interior resident, he recognized at the first glance the time piece he had lost 31 years previously, and immediately claimedit- The stranger ex- plained that he was disposing of the watch for lady in destitute circumstances. and naturally insisted upon having some proof of the claimants ownership before reeogniz- ing the claim. The two, by agreement, went to another jewelry establishment the pro- prietor of which had formerly been in busi- ness in the same interior town with the claimant and who had cleaned the watch once O. twice twenty todd years before The watch was handed him, and before anything had been said in reference to it, be said, Why, -, this is your watch: the one you lost " Another friend who had last seen the watch in 1856 recognized it at first sight. Subsequent inyes- tigation revealed the fact that about lS61-2 a gentleman of this city purchased the watch of man, possibly one who had mur- dered the visitor from the interior, for $35O. and had carried it up to the day of his death, which occurred in Tucson, Arizona, about a year and half ago. In the settlement of his estate the watch was appraised at the low valuation of S125, and the sister of deceased, knowing it to be valuable, took 1t as 8 DOT ton of her interest in the property Becom- ing reduced in circumstances she put 1t in the hands of 8 friend to sell for her, with the re- suit as above told. Not wishing to involve the lady in legal proceedings. and sympsthiz- ing with her destitute condition, the pleased owner of his newly found treasure magnani- mously paid her SlOO for the return Of his property, which was found to be in as good condition as the day 1t was bought

A Philadelphia reporter has lately made a tour of the shops in that city where modern timber is turned into antique furniture for the benefit of persons who long to possess something to indicate that they have had an- cestors One of the dealers said to him con- fidentiaIly: ''The next thing will be old family portraits. There's a man somewhere in this city who has been to Europe and bought up, in junk shops and other places, a lot of old canvases with heads on them. He got two or three clever young men to dress them up and copy them and make them up into sets, thus: Knight in armor, if teenth century; man in ruff, sixteenth cen tury; youth as a cavalier or Puritan, seven teenth century; Pilgrim Father, eighteenth century; Mir. Brown, of Spruce street, nine teenth century; set complete in harmonious frames, say $1 1000. Cheap, and an excellent idea, and sure to take Call again.
 Dr. Won Klein of Hamilton, Ohio, says he knew intimately Dr. Lamson, now under sentence of death in England for the murder by poison of his brother-in-law, Percy John. Their acquaintance was formed in Bucharest Turkey. Dr. Yon Klein worked with Dr. Lamson in a hospital, and. he says that Dr Lamson was at that time in the habit of ad ministering aconite in what Dr. Won Klein thought an unwarranted and reckless man ner. Once, when he himself was i'll, Dr. Lamson gave him so large dose of this drug that he was greatly alarmed, and their friend ship was for time interrupted by his dis pleasure at being exposed to so great a risk. Dr. Lamson ridiculed his fears, and pointed to the many cases in which he had given aconite in doses larger than physicians gen orally considered safe, to justify his faith in it as a remedy Dr. Yon Klein's theory is that the drug was administered to the boy in good faith, but when Dr. Lamson found that death had been caused by it. he denied having given it, knowing that the quantity he administered was regarded by physicians as dangerous, if not certainly fatal dose, and fearing that the admission that he had given it would convict him of murder Dr. Won Klein thinks, however, that if the facts within his knowledge as to Lam sons previous practice had appeared in evl- dence, they would have saved him, and might possibly now be a reason for remis- sion of his sentence.
