Concerning Stoves.

In the manufacture of stoves, saws an
exchange, the ratterns cut a very i'm
portant figure in the column of ex-
penses. The wood and iron patterns
cost about the same. and the total cost
of wood and iron pattern for stove
of any one size is about 1000. Some
times they cost good deal less and
sometimes more. The life" OF a
pattern used to be longer than it is now.
Twenty-Five years ago a certain style
of make would last about ten or fifteen
years before It became obsolete: now
STYLES change more frequently. and the
life of a patent is accordingly much
shorter. The desire of customers for
stoves of a new style and bright and
fancy finish has ne, essitated create
expenditure for patterns. larger stocks
of them, and more profuse use of
nickel rlate The result of all this has
eeh disastrous 10 largepro6ts. A quar-
ter of century ago 50 and 20 per cent.
profits were as easily realizeI by the
manufacturer as 80 and 81 per cent. are
now. Then a comparatively small
number of patterns would answer for
the largest establishment: now several
hundreds are required. Stoves turned
out BY Western works are heavier
by some fifty pounds than East
ern stoves, owing to their hav-
ing larger fues and thicker plates.
Flues are made large in the
Western stoves on account of the gen.
eral use of bituminous coal in the West.
A small f'ue would soon choke up and
the stove would be unserviceable. In
the East anthracite coal is largely used,
for which reason the fiues are made
small. The advantages claimed by
Western manufacturers in making
thicker plates is that the percentage OF
those spoiled in the mold is not so
large as when the plates are made thin.
Thus. of each days total melt of iron
in a Western stove foundry, about 81
or 60 per cent. is saved in good
plates. the remainder. in the shape OF
defective plates. sprues, gates. etc,
going back to the furnace to be re-
melted. In the East 30 per cent.
saved is considered high average.
The result is. Western stove-makers
save more time and use more iron in
the furnace and molds than Eastern
manufacturers. Stoves made in the
East for the Western trade are called
saddles" from the fact that the flues
are made with view to burning either
anthracite or bituminous coal in the
stoves.-ErchdRgC.

The Surgeon.GeneraI Of the Navy.

There is one young man in Washing
ton who has the sincere respect as well
as regard of all the old silver-tops of the
navy. He is Wales, the Surgeon-Gen-
eral of the navy, who is not . mere
figurehead. He is q practical young
doctor of ability and energy OF a very
high order, who lives one of the busiest
lives possible. He is not only physician
but a surgeon and an anatomist of high
attachments. The old Admirals and
Commodores respect him because they
know that he knows them through and
through, and that he is in many cases,
time and again. their bulwark against
death. The fulfillment of several pre-
dictions that this or that man would die
within a specified time has deepened the
feeling of respect with which the old
heroes regard their young physician
A number of the friends of certain

Facts About Precious Stems.

There is in Paris diamond so hard
that the usual process for cutting and
polishing made no impression upon it.
The black diamond is mostly used for
tools. In Russia it is broken into fakes.
polished and worn as court mourning.
The historic diamonds have no mo- e
luster than piece of glass. The sham
diamond is more beautiful than the gen.
uine stone, but it has tendency to de-
composition and does not retain luster.
The diamond mines Of Brazil were frs
opened in 1727. 1t is estimated that
since that time they have produced at
least two tons of diamonds. In En-
gland, stone weighing one carat and
of the purest water is worth. when cut
and polished. about 500. The dealers
in rough stones acquire the habit OF dis
tinguishing the water of a rough stone
by simply breathing upon it. Among
the historic diamonds the Rajah weighed
367 carats, and the Great Mogul 2S2. Be-
fore it was cut the later weighed 900
carats. From the composition of the
diamond we see what costly things na-
ture makes from common material. All
the diamond fields of the world are not
worth the anthracite fields of Pennsyl-

the value of diamond of that size.
and one o. ten carats is worth three

Iarest of all stones. Rubies are often
initiated with real stones, the most COM
mon being spinel. But it is not difficult
to distinguish the imitation. as the ruby
is the only stone ha ling pigeon-bloOd

sapphire. which is like the ruby, with
the exception OF the color. There has
been a small stone which was ruby on

THE OLD COTTAGE CLOCK.

OH the old old clock of the household stock
Was the brightest thing and the neatest:
Its hands, though old. had touch of gold,
And its chime rang still the sweetest
Twas monitor, too, though its words were
few.
Yet they lived though nations altered:
And its voice, still strong, warned old and
young.
When the voice of friendship faltered;
:. Tick. Trek" II said quick, quick to bed
For nine I've given warning:
Up. up and go, or else you know
You'll never rise soon in the morning..
A friendly voice was that old. old clock,
As IL stood in the corner smiling.
And blessed the time. with merry chime
The wintry hours beeuiling;
But a cross old voice was that tresome clock
As il called at daybreak boldly,
When the dawn looked gray on the misty way,
And the early air blew coldly;
~sTick. tick" IL said" quick, out OF bed
For five I've given warning:
You'll never have health. you'll never get
wealth.
Unless you re up soon in the morning"
still hourly the sound goes round and round
With tone that ceases never;
While tears are shed for the bright days ned,
And the old friends lost fofeyer;
Its heart beats on. though hearts are gone
That warmer beat and younger:
Its hands still move. though hands we love
Are clasped on earth no longer.
Tick tick II said, "tofhe church-yard bed
The grave hath given warning
In ND and rise. and look to the skies.
And prepare for Heavenly morning.

The Transit Of VEINS.

Well. the great astronomical event
has come and gone, and scientists all
over the world have been able to make
observations upon Venus as it passed
across the face of the sun. The fuli re-
suit o; their studies, diagrams, and pho
Biography will not be known for several
years. Several curious facts have, how
ever. been given to the public The
spectroscope has revealed the fact be-
yond all dispute. that there is water on
that planet. 1t was known before that
there was a great deal of moisture in
its atmosphere, but the presence of
water in the form of oceans and lakes
makes it reasonable to suppose that
there is life on the surface of Venus
Heat and moisture are indispensable
factors in the development of vegetable
and animal forms, and Venus q rtainly
appears to have both. Prof. Langley,
Of Pittsburgh. made very important
discovery. He found bright spot on
the edge of the planet which must have
the surface This spot might have been
huge mountain, or monster volcano,
for it seemed to be an illuminated pro-
tuberance upon the face of the planet.
Within short time the astronomers will
be able to give Us the almost exact dis
lance between the earth and the sun.
This was the primary object of all the
observations taken on the 9th of Decem-
Der. When once it is known how far
the SUD is from the earth, it will be an
easy matter to find out the precise dis
tances of all the members of the solar
system from each other. Indeed. the
full results of the labors of our astrono-
mers may not be comprehended for
century. 1t is said of the Greeks that
their discoveries in geometry seemed
objectless as they were of no immediate
utility, but they proved TO be of enor-
NOUS benefit to the human race two
THOUSAND years later in making naviga-
ton q science At the time the solving
of geometrical problems seemed of no
more value to the average Greek than
is the solving of chess problem day,
and yet what world of gratitude does
the race owe to the Grecian geometri-
clans. In passing. it may be remarked.
that in the spectroscope were many lines
never seen before. It should be under
stood thai every line shows certain
peculiarities which indicate the presence
of a specific metal or o her material.
The spectroscope reveals the fact that
the atmosphere of the sun contains
hydrogen. iron. sodium. and many other
substances common to this earth. These
have also been found in Venus, but with
them other lines, for which there i
nothing analogous. so far as is known,

CHAPTER Iv.-CoNrINUED.

Mr.. Calthorpe preserved silence on
the subject. He saw that his son was
favcrably received in society. and be-
lieved that he might have paid his adj
dresses to more than one woman of fort
une with every prospect of acceptance.
But he did not remind him by word or
look of the day of reckoning which was
drawing near, or of the means by which
he expected it to be met: the means
were to his mind the most convenient
at command. and. therefore, the best.
He found intense satisfaction in the be-
lief that Maurice had given up the lady
whoever she might be-to whom he
had referred when the subject of mar
rage had been mentioned. Had that
not been the case, Mr.. Calthorpe was
too confident of mis- own acumen to inn
agine that he would have failed to de-
tect the signs of a continued CORE
spondence. As it was. the growing in
terest evinced by Maurice in his pro-
fession afforded the best possible proof
that there was no love affair distracting
the barrister's mind.
So Mr.. Calthorpe was content to al
low matters to glide on in their own
way, and was secretly proud of the
skill with which he managed his son,
as well as certain of ultimate triumph.
