The action of the four Re-adjust9r Senators
on Tuesday last, in voting with the Democrats
TO adjourn and thus prevent the joint order
for the assembling of the House of Delegates
TO elect an Auditor, is not to be commended
1t was factious in, the extreme. There is an
undoubted majority IN the two houses favora
Bile to carrying into effect the action of the
caucus in nominating AIr Allen for Auditor
and 10 defeat that object by a mere technical
advantage, in one branch of the Legislature,
so as to prevent the convention to proceed to
an election, was neither wise nor fair The
whole business of the session is thus inter
fered with, and the peoples interests thus
sacrificed to crafty little personal SPLEEN
Mr.. Massey cannot sustain himself before the
people, in the course he has pursued. We have
not heard one Of his party refer to his action
except in the severest condemnation His
personal friends who have always stood by
him are as pronounced in their censure, as
those who have not been known as such.

of the Confederate States. and now wealthy
and prominent lawyer of London, writes thai
there is no money belonging to the Confeder-
ale States in England, and that there has been
none since Immediately after the war. This
explodes the theory of an immense treasure
which the bank OF England held, and which
could be drawn by Confederate bonds.

WEIGHT OF CATTLE BY MEAsURE.-The
Canada Globe gives the following as good
rule for this purpose: Take the girth by
passing q tape round the body behind the
shoulder blades; and the length from the fore
most corner of the shoulder blade bone along
the back to the hindmost point of the rump.
Then if the beast is feet in length and 7 feet
in girth. first square the girth in inches, which
is 81 by "a. equal to 1866. Multiply this by
the length in inches. so. The product is 423.-
800. Divide by 525. and the product is 800,
which is the number of pounds of the animals
weight. If the animal is very fat, about 10
per cent. must be added to the $685. II poor a
S08 represents the weight OF an animal in
good killing condition.

The author Of the well-known song,
ssThe Sweet By and By" S. Fillmore
Bennett, denies in the Chicago Indicator
that he and the composer were drunk
when they wrote the words and music
of that song, as has been charged.
Neither of them were drunk. Bennett

sion, came in, in one Of his melancholy

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

Southern corn most mineral and albu-

The manufacture of gold watch
cases IS an important and growing
industry at Providence, Il. l., and the
journal says that ten thousand cases
may be made there this year, and that
the demand is really ahead of the sup
ply.
Never depend entirely on patent oil
cups, as they either feed too fast or not
at all. There is generally too much oil
wasted on engines. What is needed is
small quantity at the right time and in
the right place, and all that is not
essential is wasted.
An interesting engine has recently
been invented by Mrs. Roettger and
Bay, of Brussels. Motion is produced
by subjecting q compound plate, com
posed of two metals, the degrees of ex-
pansion of which are different, to the
action of heat and cold alternately.
An English mechanic has invented
horseshoe composed of three thick
nesses of cowhide compressed into
steel mold and subjected to chemical
preparation. 1t will last longer than

fourth as much, does not split the hoofs,
requires no calks and is very elastic.
The many friends of the lily of the
valley will be sorry to learn that prac-

experiment on frogs. From all accounts
the little favorite will hold dis
tinguished place in the materia medica.
A Jersey City man has patented

Some interesting and successful

The first use we hear that was
made of cotton was for candlewicks in
1900. Now it is stated that houses can
be built of cotton and straw, which,
under chemical treatment, are con-
verted into paste, compressed into Stats,
and become hard and firm as stone.
The material neither warps nor cracks,
and is both fire and damp proof.
Refuse cotton and the sweepings of
factories are used. The inventor, a
Canadian, is introducing it in the
