LOST.

Anxiety is beginning to be expressed as
to the whereabouts of Hon. VIM. E.
Chandler, the Secretary of the Navy. True
all the members of the cabinet are absent
from Washington. Secretary Folger has
been experimenting his Minnesota farm.
Secretary Teller is looking after his pri-
vate interests in Colorado. Postmaster
General Gresham is helping Gov. Foster
raise money for the Ohio election. Secre-
tary Frelinghuysen is carefully folded up
in hammock under a New Jersey apple
tree. Secretary Lincoln is riding an Indi-
an pony in Yellowstone Park. Attorney
General Brewster in all the glory of his
pongee summer clothes, his coat-tails cut
on the bias, is at Long Branch sucking
straWs. The President himself is in the
Yellowstone country, looking for all the
world like New York fireman, and hear
tily devouring Gen. Sheridan's commissa-
ry, whenever his $50 horses are batting.
Everybody knows all about these people,
but no one knows anything about Mr..
Chandler. He was last heard of at Con-
cord, New Hampshire. He disappeared
from that place two weeks or more ago,
and no notice has been given of his de-
parture or destination. He has not been
heard of at the Navy department, and for
few days no new contracts have been
made with his friends, the Reaches. His
disappearance is as painful as it is mex
plicable. Mr.. Hatton who is running the
Government at Washington should adver-
tise for information that might lead to
the discovery of his whereabouts. AS the
case is urgent he might omit the usual
formula of sealed proposals and the delay

" Big BIunders."

large udience, but still not as large
as it should have been, greeted Rev. DR..
Talmage, of Brooklyn, N. Y, at Market
Hall last evening to listen to his lecture,
entitled "Big Blunders." DIR. Talmage
is not a demonstrative lecturer, but
forclble and earnst. He said by way of
Introduction that he uad changed his
mind relative to what was popular in the
lecture field. He once thought that lee
ture should be profound, and he wrote two
or three of that kind, but he had not used
them for a great while. There were two
great objections to them. In the first
place the audience did not under
stand what he was talking about,
and in the second place he
did not know himself. He believed now
that lecturers should be practical--some-
thing that might do the listeners some
good. He then proceeded to enumerate
what he styled "Big Blunders," the first
being choosing occupations, the point
made being that every one should select
some calling and pursue it
especially and not attempt to
be 'iack of all trades" The
second was the failure to exercise control
over ones temper. The third was to in
dulge in amusemeDts and not have them
excessive. The fourth was not to make
mistakes in marriages, and the last to see
that enterprise and enthusiasm were com
bined in whatever was done.
The speaker was frequently applauded.

At O'Clock W. ]. Beal, of Lansing,
Mich, vice president of section F, devoted
to biology, delivered his opening address:
Mr.. Beal began by saying he had chosen
to speak on agriculture, its needs and op-
portunities, subject which had heretofore
scarcely been mentioned at the meetings
of the association. Within the past few
years the progress in matters Pertaining
to agriculture has been greater than ever
before. This he attributed to a variety of
causes, such as the generous thrift and in
telligence of the people and the advance
ment of science. It is true and it is
strange that it should be true that until
within a recent period, but very little of
the best thought of civilized nations has
been devoted to subjects intended to ad-
vance agriculture. Many of our states
have freely appropriated money to con-
duct surveys IN geology, mining, little in
zoology, botany, ETC., etc.; this munifcence
of the United States in support of science
is encouraging.
The speaker said ''it is true that some of
this work performed has been very poorly
done and enormously expensive, but the
methods are improving. 1t spoke well for
the country and the law makers; notwith-
standing this but small amount has been
appropriated in the interests of agrieuI-
ture.
Many of our states have freely appro-
priated money to conduct surveys in geol-
ogy, rnineralogy, little in geology and
botany, not forgetting to provide literally
for coast surveys. The nation, considering
its age, has also been very gener-
Gus with money in support of
surveys of the coast, surveys of the rail-
roads, surveys in geology, anthropology,
mining, not omitting zoology and botany.
The fish commission, signal service, CON
struction of light houses, improvement of
rivers and harbors, and even astronomy.
have been generously supported. 1t is true
that some of this work performed by the
government
HAS BEEN VERY POORLY DONE,
and has been enormously ex.
pensiYe, but the methods of
work are improving. This munificence
of the United States government in sun
port of science is encouraging, and speaks
well for the country and our lawmakers.
1t is all right and is money well invested.

We properly use our faculties they

this truth into verse in his travastie

every man should read these lines
slowly and solemnly:
You are old, said the youth, and your
jaws are too weak
For anything tougher than suet,
Yet you finished the goose, with the

Pray, how did you manage to do it ?

And argued each case with my wife.
And the muscular strength which it
gave TO my jaw
Has lasted the rest of my life.

How Watches are Made.

In SOLID GOLD WATCH, aside from the
necessary thickness for engraving aud
polishing, large proportion of metal is
needed only to stiffen and hold the en-
graved portions in place, and supply
strength. The surplus gold is actually
needless. In James Boss Patent Gold
Watch Cases this waste is saved, and
solidity and strength increased by sim
pie process, at one-half the cost A plate
ofsolid gold is soldered on each side of a
plate of hard nickel composition metal,
and the three are then passed between poll
ished steel rollers From this the casos,
backs, centers, bezels, ETC., are cut and
shaped by dies and formers. The gold is
thick enough to admit of all kinps of
chasing, engraving and engine turning
These cases have been worn perfectly
smooth by use without rem owing the
gold This is the only case made under
this process. Each case is accom- anied
with a valid guarantee signed by the
manufacturers warranting il to run %
years. $50, 000 of these cases now carried
in the United States md Canada. Largest
