The Uses of Cork.

The economic uses to which cork Is
applied are much too numerous to pass in
review; it will be sufficient to speak OF
one only, that of the manufacture oi
shoppers. For the purpose of stopping
bottles, cork was not generally used till
near the end of the seventeenth century.
Many substitutes for it have been pro
posed, but except in the case of aratel
liquids none of these have been gener-
ally employed. In the manufacture OF
bottle corks, the bark is cut up into
slips, which, by means of gauges, are
made narrow or wide, according to the
size OF the corks Or bungs wanted. The
slips are then cut into squares or quar-
ters, which are trimmed into the re-
CURED shape by means of very long
thin knife, kept very sharp. In this
operation the knife is kept imrnovable.
while the cork is drawn over its edge by
the workman. The corks are then
thrown into baskets and sorted out ac-
cordiDg to size by women and children.
Cork cutting in Catalonia and the South
OF Flance furnishes a livelihood for a
considerable portion OF the population of
those districts. Several attempts have
been made to cut corks by machinery,
but they have not succeeded in super
sading hand labor, which is compare
lively cheap abroad. The machine
which is principally used for this pur.
pose was exhibited in operation at the
Paris Exhibition it was worked by a
woman. and near her was seated man
patiently carving out his corks with the
usual knife, quite as neatly and nearly
as rapidly rs the machine. The cork.
cutting machine is an instrument simil-
ar to carpenters plane working in a
groove. the knife being horizontal. The
slip Or cork is placed between two
chucks, and by pushing the plane along
the groove the cork is caused to rotate
in front of the knife as it passes along.

The Way of a Serpent.

The movement of snake in climbing
q perpendicular surface, as have OBJ
served it, is vermicular, undulating
motion, not spiral, but straight up the
face of the surface. Ihave seen black
snake thus glide up beech tree with
the easy. careless grace of movement
which is characteristic of that snake
when moving over horizontal surfaces.
The bark of the beech affords few in.
capabilities into which the edges of the
gastroslegal bands could be thrust claw
fashion, and have no doubt that atmos-
pheric pressure is the force that holds
the snake against such surfaces in climb
ing, sucker-fashlon, as the boy lifts the
brick with the piece of wet leather.

A gentleman residing in the vicinity of
Wachita, Kan, relates the following
singular case of somnambulism: He
states that last winter his son Charles
had severe attack of fever, and while
sick would get up regularly every nj ght at
midnight and walk about the house, APP
parently fast asleep. Nothing singular
was thought Of this as long as the young
man continued sick, but his nightly
walks have been repeated since his re-
cOvery, and more recently he mad been
in the habit OF going out of doors, and
careful watch has been kept upon his
actions. About week ago his father
found him in the stable grooming one ct
the horses, and ut another time feeding
the hogs, on each occasion being fast
asleep, and the time being about mid
night. But now cones the strangest thing
of all.
On last Sunday night about - o'clock,
midnight, the young mans father and
mother were awakened by a terrible rat
thing upon the side of the house. Slip
ping on their clothing they went into the
yard, when they discovered the young
man seated upon the top of the chimney,
clothed only in his night-shirt and hat.
Fearing to awaken him, they quietly

he arose, and, waving his arms as if adj
dressing an audience, said: "We will
sing, All hail the power of Jesus name;'
after which, in loud voice, the young
man himself sang the entire hymn and
sat down. In moment he rose to his
feet and said: II take my text this eve
ming from first John, fifth chapter, and
twenty fifth verse;" and then he repeat
ed. Verify, verify say unto you the
hour is coming, and now is, when the
dead shall hear the voice of the Son of
God, and they that hear shall live"
After repeating this verse, the young
man proceeded to preach a sermon about
fifteen minutes long. After concluding
the sermon he himself sang the doxology
and pronounced the bencdiction, after
which he began to climb down by way
! of the lightning rod. Before he reached
| the ground his father placed tub of cold
water where he would be compelled to
step into it, and he received good wet
ting, bringing him at once to his senses,
since which time, he has not been troub-
led with sleep-walking.
