Brief Meniion.

The first lodge Of Freemasonry in the West
was established at Lexington, Kentucky, on
November II, 1888.
Denver, Colorado, is said to have more
physicians in proportion TO population than
any other city in the United States.
Ex-senator Tabor says he will pay the ex-
penses OF all delegates to the National Repub-
lican Convention II II is held in Denver.
Mr.. Dillon, the Irish agita,or, has arrived at
his brothers ranch in Colorado. He is still in
poor health, and his stay in the West will
prohab y be one OF long duration.
The great corporation composed of nearly
all the gas companies Of London is by far the

Woman suffrage has won its battle in the
Territory OF Washington, as both houses Of

is 10 feet wide.
The Methodists OF Hebron, Connecticut,
have succeeded in working themselves into q
fit of indignation against their minister, the
Rev. Mr.. Roberts. The preacher at a recent
prayer-meetiBg became disguised at theil
apathy and called them blookheads, and told
them there was no more expression in their
faces than in so many wooden heads. They
are apathetic no longer. Since that time they
have become wonderfully attentive and uncom
fortably critical Of Mr.. Roberts utterances.

and every insect of that kind that on

or kind, must be killed lest il "eat

these watchful persons to be told that
the moth itself is harmless, and eats
nothing. The proper clothcs-moth has

inch; il fits about so quietly, and is so
small. rs often To escape notice, while
insects many times larger are suspected
of being dangerous. The small size of
the true clothes-moth, its delicate buff
color, satiny luster. and especially the
silky fringe upon the edges Of the
wings, distinguish il from other moths.
In saying the moth Is harmless we
would not be understood that il is not
the cause Of mischief. The only part
assigned TO this creature. in its bcauti-
full winged state, is to lay eggs. The

The Process Of StOne-Cutting.

There is perfect specimen of the
lapidist's art said j. w. Beath, as he
handed across the counter a fine speci
men of the cairngorm.
Observe" he continued, 1.-THE num-
Der of facets on that stone. There are
three hundred in all, and each one l.
perfectly true in shape. This stone
weighs nearly two ounces, and yet Sc
truly is il cut, the oval shapes so geo
metrically perfect, that ii will stand on
its pivot, which is not so large rs n pin's
head" and, suiting action to word, the
lapidist deity placed the stone on a
sheet of glass, and, the center of gravi-
tation falling within its pin-hcad base,
it remained nicely balanced on its lower
point or pivot.
"Will you tell me how the transfer
nation of the opaque, muddy-looking
stone in the rough to the sparkling gem
is effected?" asked the visitor.
The rough gem goes through three
processes before il is ready for the jew.
cler's window. First, piece of the
stone must be cut off as nearly as posi-
bic the size required. The saw used in
doing this is a circular piece of sheet
iron, without teeth, set as wood
workers saw, and operated by a foot.
treadle. Two men stand ut this saw,
each having a foot upon the treadlc.
One man holds the stone TO be cut
tightly against the edge of the saw.
while the other. using feather dipped
in oil, applies diamond dust to the edge
of the saw. The saw being made of
very ductile metal, the tiny particles
of diamond become imbeddcd in il, and,
acting as cutting points, soon wear
through the hardest stone. Now the
piece cut off passes to the cutting table.
Here is a wheel strapped through the
center that revolvcs parallel to the top
of the table. The stone to be cut is
fastened to stick about six inches
long with cement. The lapidst takes
the stick in his right hand, stcadics his
hand on wooden rest, which is all
justed to the right of the wheel, and
holds the stone firmly to the wheel un-
til one facet is ground down. TO the
wheel, / should add, is applied diamond
dust and water. The table and upper
facets of the stone are cut this way, and
the stone is then removed from and re-
adjusted to the stick before the lapidist
cuts the under side collcts and re-
naming facets.
"The manipulation of The stone in
the third, or polishing, process, is iden-
teal with that of the cutting. The
wheel, however, rs compos Il mainly of
tin, and tripoli and rotlenstonc are used
in the polishing. II you will look closely
mt small diamond or crystal, and
notice the number of facets, their
equality of size and harmony of form,
you will be able TO get an idea of the
skill, care and long practice called for
by the work. -Miladeiphia Press.

Dummy Money.

The dummy" money i'm the window

proving u dear advertisement To the
proprietor. A fortnight since two en-
tcrprising young thieves smashed the
plate-glass window with brick and
grabbed II lot of counterfeit grccnbacks.
under the impression that they were
good money. Yesterday afternoon a
glazier charged MIR. Anthony something
like seventy dollars for putting in a
new pane of glass. The job was finished
last evening, and ut 7:45 n Young thief
named James Neary, alias Ncaly, alias
Ryan, demolished IL with cobblc slung
in pocket-handkerchief. Through
the aperture thus created he grabbed a
pile Of neatly-turncd brass discs of the
size of twcnty-dollar pieces, the top one
being bona-fidc double eagle. AS he
thrust his hand in he topplcd the pile
over, losing the twenty dollars and only
securing twenty-threc of the brass
countcrfcits.- Francisco Chronicle.

Another Wonder.

Among the latest triumphs of naval
architect may be mentioned the
steamship Aurania, which has just
been added to the Cunard company's
fleet, and which started on her first
voyage last Saturday. This magnih-
cent vessel is close on 5000 tons meas
urement, and her engines develop 49,
900 horsepower, which are driven by
eight steel boilers, and OH her trial
trip she attained the marvellous speed
of 1871 knots, equal to 22l statue miles
per hour. She carries in her bunkers
2,40O tons of coal to perform the pas
sage across the Atlantic. She has
accommodation for 700 frst-class
passengers, and carries in addition
600 emigrants. The furniture and
fittings of her capa cious state-rooms
and saloons are of an elegant charac-
ter and in the very best taste. Separ-
ate saloons for music, smoking, and
ladies, have been provided. Through
out the ship is lighted by electricity,
there being nearly 1000 lamps fitted
on Edison's principle, driven by four
separate engines, thus lessening the
danger of accidents by fire. For the
proper working of the ship everything
has been supplied that the science can
afford or ingenuity suggest, and her
complement of officers, crew OH deck,
and in her engine department num-
bers 26O souls. The vessel was built
and engineered by Messrs. Thompson,
of Clydebank, Glasgow, and under
the charge of that well known CON-
mandcr, Captain w. ii. Haines, she
bids fair to be one of the most popu-
lar ships of this favorite Atlantic line.
The success of this fine vessel is due
to the constant attention of Captain
Watson, the naval constructor of the
company, who has superintendent her
building throughout.
The enormous responsibility and
never intcrmitting care that, waking
or sleeping, must be on the brain of a
man in charge of and accountable for
the successful working of such pro-
perty, make it far from an cnviable
eminence. One might look down on
the humber ploughman who "whistlcd
as he went for want of thought" and
not feel quite sure that he hadn't the
best of it.-Ex.

the south of the Ocean of Storms
projects large bay of remarkably
green hue, which is called the Sea of
Moisture, while OIL the north the
ocean runs into the narrow Bay of
Dew. Then there is the Sea OF
Showers, the largest of the moons
seas, or sea bottoms. Between the
Sea of Showers and that brilliant
portion of the moon called the Land
Of Hoar Frost, lies the Bay of Rain
bows, which, as the celebrated obser-
vers Beer and Nader thought, fur
nishes the most magnificent landscape
in the moon. 1t is surrounded by
lofty, shining cliffs. In the centre of
the moon are the Sea of Vapors and
the Bay Of Tides. In the north are
Plato, or the Greater Black Lake,
the Sea Of Cold, and the Marsh of
Sleep, the latter being remarkable for
its reddish hue. In the east are the
Sea of Serenity, the Sea of Tranquil
lily, the Sea of Fertility, the Sea of
Nectar, and the dark Crisian Sea.
The last-named, judging from its UNI
usual depression, was probably the
deepest of all the lunar seas, although
its greatest length is only about $50
miles.
Around all these seas cluster ringed
mountains, craters, and mountain
ranges, whose shadows are thrown
upon their level surfaces, varying in
length and shape and number with
every hour. The whole southern
quarter of the moon is occupied by
the great mountain region that has
the tremendous crater Tycho for its
centre. Here the amateur telescopist
may spend hours among the glittering
peaks. 1t is like looking down into
the heart of the Adirondacks, with
the mountains increased ten fold in
magnitude and thousand fold in
number. The mountain wall that
surrounds Tycho is perfect ring fif-
ty-four miles in diameter, and three
miles high. Exactly in the centre OF
the great fat floor, inclosed within
the ring, rises u mountain peak mile
in height that shines brilliantly in the
sunlight. In a good three-inch teles-
cope Tycho is an object of surprising
beauty and ever varying interest as
the sunshine creeps up its outer wall
leaps down the terraced slope of the
opposite side of the ring, and sliding
across the broad level floor, climbs tho
central peak, and throws its long
pointed shadow clear across the crater
For hundreds of miles on every side
of Tycho the whole surface of tn,
moon is broken and upheaved int
jagged mountain masses, in which are
many peaks loftier than the highes
Alps, and some that equal the might
est of the Andes. The spectacle o
the sunrise upon these mountains il
magnificent beyond description.
Some of the highest mountains il
the moon lie along the edge of the
disk, and are seen as in profile against
the sky. Such are the Doerfel Noun
tains and the Leibnitz Range south o
Tycho, which rival our Himalayas il
