A Pheasant Experiment with salt.
Troy Times.

Troy Times.
Do you want to grow salt, and at the san e
time have an interesting, handsome ornamen
The proceeding is a novel chemical expert
ment that may be tried by any one. Put in
goblet one tablespoonful of salt and o. e
spoonful of olueing; fill the goblet two
thirds full OF w,.ter and set in position
where it will have plenty Of warmth and
sunlight In little while sparkling crystals
will commence forming on the outside of
the glass, and it is both novel and interest
ing sight to watch it gradually growing day
by day, until the outside of the goblet is en-
tirely covered over with beautiful white
crystals.
Another variation of this beautiful expert
ment would be to take 4 goblet with the base
broken off, and fasten ii in the center of q
thin piece of board After the crystals
have formed on the glass, set it OH tiny
wall bracket and place bright holiday or
birthday card in front nf il; this will hide
the base on which no CT, stals will form.
After this is done fill the goblet with flowers
or dried grasses. and you will have vase
which will cost comparatively little, and in
reality adds to the brlc-a -brac Of the room.

The Chinese IN San Francisco are reported

William Farley called on the Governor of
Indiana, at the Executive Mansion at Indian

to make the application personally. He had
escaped without great difficulty, but did not
care to stay away without pardon, as free

could rejoin bis relatives. The Governor re-
fused the request, Farley hastily withdrew
and in q few days voluntarily returned to the

The metal of the curasss, as described, is
only about three fftieths of an inch thick,
and is lined inside with Layer Of wool the
cuirass itself is fourteen inches wide and ten
inches high, being intended only to protect
the heart and lungs, and weighs two and one
fourth pounds Eleven rounds were fired at
it, at q distance of 175 yards, from Martini
breech- loading rifle, and, of eight bullets
which struck the cuirass, only two pierced
the metal, while even these were fattened
completely and remained in the woolen lin
ing, so that man wearing the cuirass
would have been uninjured. It's lightness
constitutes a marked advantage.
