Herr Krupp, of Essen, has taken
out a patent on a ~tlat-headed artillery
%projectile. 1t tapers slightly at tho

more easily than the pointed kind,

iron at certain angles, but it is calcu-
lated to hit the iron-clads below the wa
ter line.
1t is thought that the earliestpatent

the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to
Samuel Winslow. who had a method of
manufacturing salt. ''None are to

A breeder of canary birds a short
time since conceived the idea of feeding
a young bird with a mixture of STEPPED
bread and finely pulverized cayenne
pepper, with the view to changing tho
color OF its plumage. 1t is asserted up
on good authority that without injuring
the bird, the pigment of the spice passed
into the blood and dyed it's plumage q
very deep red.-1roy Times.
The Scientific american describes
the method by which the great cables of
the Pittsburgh (Pa.) Suspension Bridge
was lately repaired. When a defective
piece of wire was found it was cut out
and a new piece of wire nicely spliced
in SO as to bear the strain it ought to
sustain and no more. When the wires
were renewed the whole was coated
with linseed oil and then with white
lead. .
In a paper read before the London
Society of Arts meinteresting particu-
lars are given as to the savings effected
by science in various industries.
Amongst others it is related that where
as the outside and inside husks of silk
cocoons used to be considered useless
and thrown away, they are now consid-
cred Of great value, and in the United
States alone from 1000 to 5000 bales of
''waste silk" are used up annually at a
value OF over $1,000, 600.
"A book-binder and paper-ruler of
New London, Conn, has added one of
the most ingenious little pieces of labor
saving machinery of recent invention
to his very complete workshop. 1t is q
wire-stitching machine, which with one
motion of a lever forms a rectangular
staple, drives the end through the leaves
to be bound, and clinches them on the
under side. The wire is coiled upon a
wooden bobbin with a spring tension,
and is otherwise regulated by an auto
matte movable arm which seizes the re-
quired length and feeds it to the cutters
with an accuracy and precision of move
ment that can not be equalcd by the
most experienced craftsman.-Harttord

Horse Racing in Brazil.

AS soon as folks begin to arrive at
the course-which is any suitable strip
of ground in the wide expanse of level
prairie previously agreed upon-the
women folks hop out Of their boxes and
sit together in little groups, with then:
heads converging to a common center,
which arrangement, together with u
continuous chattering, they keep up I'M
til the proceedings are terminated, the
race apparently having little or no in
terest for them. The men also gather
into groups or ride around offering or
taking bets, a process entailing an
amount of shouting and gesticuiating
and galloping about which to the more
phlegmatic foreigner seems very upper
huous.
After about an hour or more OF this
sort of business the spectators range
themselves along each side of the course
and the starting begins. In the Rio
Grande campos, two horses only are
raced at a time, and rs a rule only one
or two races take place at a meeting.
The horses are ridden bare-backed, aud
the riders divest themselves of poncho,
sombrero and boots, tying a handker-
Chief around the forehead to keep their
long black hair out OF their eyes. They
go some distance back of the actual
starting point, up to which they canter
slowly. When abreast of it, if either
rider thinks that he is in a good posi-
ton for starting, he says to the other:
"Vamos?"-'tshall we go?" If the
other rider feels like starting, too, he
answers: "Vamos!'-'Let us eo!"
And they go forthwith. In nineteen
eases out of twenty, however, one or
both riders are not satisfied with the
start, and they then wheel. canter back
to where they set ont from, and the
whole performance is gone through,
again. In this way twenty or thirty
false starts will often be made ana
much time consumed. The spectators
meantime keep on laying and taking
dds at the top of their voices, the pro-
ceedlngs being every now and then en-
livened by the appearance on the
course of the inevitable dog, who is
promptly rolled over with the bolas
amid the laughter of the unfeeling null
titude.
At last they get off and come yelling
down the track, the crowd closing up
behind them and gallopine and yelling
close on their heels. Woe to the luck
less man who should happen at this mo-
ment to be off his horse! Unless he
mounts like lightning, his animal will
infallib]y set away from him. and II
himself be trampled under foot aud
perhaps killed. - Cor. Pniaacl,4iu

to disturb the sand, it is tossed on boards
along the shore to dry or spread on old
