MAKING ARTIFICIAL IVORY.

The Chronique Industriezle gives
the following description of new pro-
cess for making artificial ivory from
the bones of sheep and goats and the
waste of white skins, such as kid, deer,
etc: The bones are macerated for ten
or fifteen hours in solution of chic
ride of lime, and afterwards washed in
clean water and allowed to dry. Then
they are put with all the scraps Of
hide, etc, into specially constructed
boiler, dissolved by steam 90 as to form
fluid mass, to which is added q per
cent Of alum.
The foam is skinned off as it rises,
until the mass is clear and trans
parent. Any convenient coloring
material is then added, and while the
massi is still warm it is strained through
cloth of appropriate coarseness and
received in cooler, and allowed to
cool until it has acquired certain con-
sistency, so that it can be spread out on
the canvas without passing through it.
1t is dried on frames in the air, and
forms sheets of convenient thickness,
1t is then necessary to harden it, which
is accomplished by keeping it for eight
or ten hours in an alum bath that has
been used before.
The quantity of alum necessary for
this operation amounts to so per cent.
by weight of the gelatine sheets.
When they have acquired sufficient
hardness, they are washed in cold
water and let dry on frames, as at first.
This material works more easily and
takes as fine polish as real ivory.
The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1884-06-12

The art of sewing has been known
from a very remote period, as is shown
by the fact that bone needles have
been found among the Oldest remains
of the Swiss lake dwellings, and in the
caves of France and Great Britain
which were frequented by man during
the reindeer age. Some of these early
needles were perforated in the middle
which was the thickest part-and
others were pierced at the larger end.
A French cavern has yielded need
les much superior to those of the an
cient Gauls and to the ivory needles
of the modern Esquimaux, especial
skill having been applied to the boring
of the eyes, which must have been done
with a fine flint drill.
The Swiss lake jewellers used linen
thread or bark fibre for sewing, and
made garments from woven fabrics Of
linen and bark as well as from the
skins of animals. The cave people en-
ployed thread made from split ten
dons and perhaps strings of gut, and
the fineness of some of their needles
has suggested the probability that they
performed some more delicate work
than the sewing of skins.

New York Custom House Inspectors

The night inspectors are appointed
to prevent smuggling, are uniformed
and armed, and are authorized to stop
and search reasonably suspected per-
sons who may go on board or come
from the vessel. The Office is by no
means a sinecure. 1t involves watch
ing, exposure and fatigue. The Gu
ban steamers have been won't to bring
men who inciosed cigars in rubber
bags and threw them into the waters
of the lower bay. Confederates in
boats then picked them up, placed
them in express wagons waiting on the
shore. and then drove rapidly away.
There is something contagious in the
glee of wide-awake officials as they re-
late how they had watched unseen the
whole operation until the wagon was
ready to start, when they seized the
rtins, and landed tho spoils at the
seizure room. One French steamer,
notorious for smuggling by driblets,
when searched by this force, was found
to contain thirteen hundred bottles of
spirits, which it was intended to send
ashore bottle after bottle, Tins about
an inch deep. AMI fitted to the body
under the armpits, have been taken
f.cIh the bodies of men who were
thus stealthily bringing in valuable
bay oil. One dealer in human hair,
who died in possession of about $780,
600, was detected in illicit importations
under the shirts of his agents. An
other vivacious fellow, belonging to a
French steamer, rejoiced in profta-
Die trade in kid gloves secreted by the
dozen in his immense boots. Sailing
vessels are watched by special agents,

What WIN Burst a Gun.

In bravado young man placed the
muzzle of his fowling piece under the
water. and fired the charge. The re-
suit was the bursting of the barrel
near the breech and the mutilation of
his hand. Another placed and held
The muzzle of his piece square against
apiece OF plato window glass, and fired
the charge -powder and a bullet. The
glass was shattered, so was the gun
barrel. Another instance was that of
an experimental who had heard that a
candle could be fired from the barrel
OF gun through an inch board. He
drove candle into the muzzle of the
gun, fired, and the explosion split the
barrel almost its entire length, and did
not even drive the candle from the
muzzle. Still another burst of a gun
barrel was caused by the use of wst
grass for wad, we'll rammed down
over a charge of shot. But perhaps
one OF the most singular exhibitions in
this line was Colts navy revolver,
which some years ago was sent to the
factory in Hartford, Conn. This was
before the adaptation of these pistols
to the metallic cartridges, and it is
probable that in loading with open
powder and ball only small amount
of powder got into the chamber, and
the bullet was not propelled with sufli-
Gent force to drive it from the muzzle;
at least the bullet did not go out, but
edged. AS the shooter did not know
whether the bullet escaped or not, he
kept on firing till the barrel burst or
bulged, and when it was sawed in two
longitudinally there were found four
teen bullets wedged one into the other,
and so much upset" by the hammer
ing of the successive explosions of the.
powder charges that some of them
were not less than one inch in diane
ter, being flattened disks instead of
conica bullets.-Scientifc american.

Petrifyinc Land.

On the farm of John Reese, near
Kimberton, Chester County, Penn, is
a plot of ground which, it is thought,
will petrify things buried in it. A
quantity of petrified chips was recent
ly picked up there which still bear the
marks of the ak. In that spot the
earth is of an entirely different charac-
ter from that found in other parts of
the farm. The soil is of rather gum,
my nature, and it differs in color from
the surrounding dirt. In order to
test whether the soil will petrify
foreign substances, pieces of wood and
the carcass of small animal are to be
buried there and examined after a
lapse of four years. Near Spring City,
Chester County, body recently ex-
humed in cemetery, was found to be
entirely petrified, having been taken
from a piece of ground resembling
that at Kimberton.

mastiffs at their post. and especially if

Playthings OF Children in Africa.

The girls in Africa, as elsewhere,
are fond of dolls; but they like them
best alive, SO they take puppies for the
purpose, and carry them about tied to
their backs, as their mothers carry
babies. Some of them 'play baby"
with little pigs. The boys play shoot
with gun made to initiate the "white
mans gum" Two pieces of cane tied
together make the barrels, the stock is
made of clay, and the smoke is tuft
of loose cotton.
In one African tribe the boys have
spears made of reeds, shields, bows, and
arrows, with which they initiate their
fathers doings; and they make ami
mails out of clay, while their sisters

Utilizing Old Tin Cans.

The Philadelphia Record furnishes
the following on the utilization of old
tin cans. The tin can and scrap tin
like the old and much abused hoop
skirts,have always resisted all attempts
to convert them to some suitable use
except as food for goats, and any plan
to relieve humanity of their annoyance
and turn them to possible good, will be
hailed with satisfaction: "The empty
tin can at last has a mission, and
profitable one, at that. Emptied of
its contents of peaches or tomatoes
discarded and thrown out at the
kitchen gate it may soon be sent in al
the front door or find an honored
place in the best room in the house.
Thousands of these cans are gathered
in Philadelphia every week and made
into shining sheets and used to deco
rate or cover large travelling trunks,
and thus get a promotion from the
back yard to the boudoir. On the out
skirts Of the city, within short time
a number of factories for the CONVEX
sion of these old buffeted and battered
cans and other tin refuse from the ash
heaps have sprung up, and the business
is a growing one. One of considerable
size is on Moyamensing avenue, below
Mifflin street, where large force of
men is kept busy day in and day out
The cans are collected in various ways
but principally from the city ash heaps
and the hotels and large boarding
houses. At the factory the soldered
seams are subjected to an intense heat
in such a way that the solder is allowed
to run into receptacle, and is careful
ly saved and sold, the profit from this
source alone almost paying for the ex-
pense of the gathering and handling
of the cans. The tops and bottoms of
Vic Calls are llCItcu anu IuluCu lutO
window sash weights The labels on
he tin plate are easily taken off, after
aving been thoroughly soaked in
water and the plates themselves rolled
out fiat by machinery. AS the inside
of the plates are not much discolored
by the contents of the can they present
clean surface and make excellent
lovers for trunks, the seams being
hidden by the trunk braces, either of
wood or sheet iron. Other uses are
also made of the tin plates, and there
is considerable profit in the business.
The process is quite simple, and very
little capital is required. One concern
in this city rolled out 10000 of these
plates in less than two months, and
the industry promises to be largely de-
veloped both here and elsewhere"

Obtaining Bodies for Dissection.
stHh.aa I1lia..

''Three dollars apiecel'
The above was in answer to a question
asked an attendant at one of the New
York city colleges recently by q reporter
for the Nail and Express, concerning the
price paid for dead bodies used for sci.
sntiiic purposes.
"Where do you get most of thems"
"From the Charity Hospital, Bellevue
lin fact, all the hospitals and the morpue'
The bodies that go into the medical
schools represent the pauper dead only.
and the good their bodies do for science
Is oftentimes the first and only good use
that they have been put to since their
birth"
GLOW many bodies do you suppose are
used by the medical schools in this city
every year2".
Easily thousand. or course most
of them are used by the students for dis.
section, but the professors also utilize
the cadaver for anatomical dcmonstra.
ton. Didactic teaching is coming to
DO more and more regarded
as the best method. Then
again, many cadavers are used in the
practical study of operative surgery. The
students practice on the dead body.
They amputate fingers, hands, arms and
legs, make resections of bone, and go
through the modus operandi of hundreds
of everyday operations in minor surgery.
They learn to appreciate the surgical
landmarks and familiarize themselves
with normal and abnormal conditions of
the body"
"But the cadaver is prepared in some
way before it is given to the student, is
it mott"
ooh, my, yes. They are thoroughly
prepared. Sometimes they are picked
in solution of saltpetre and water, and
sometimes they areinjected with prepa-
ration of chloride of zinc or arsenic.
Students prefer an injected or fresh sub.
ject to a picked one generally. For my
part, l had rather have picked one.
Working on zinc or arsenite cadaver
makes ones fingers sore"
''The students, of course, buy the
original price2"
''Not at all No charge is made for
material for dissection. The college fur.
nishes it free. But some return is had
from the bones. The scraps and bones
are gathered in large pile and kept for
a man in Philadelphia, who prepares anc
mounts skeletons for schools, lodges and
private individuals. He comes to New
York at regular intervals and buys up all
the human bones and sends them to
Philadelphia in barrels.
''Does he get anything much for
skeleton?"
'Oh, skeleton brings more than the
cadaver tenfold. They range in price
from $50 to $500. A complete disarticu-
lated skeleton, that is, one where all the
200 bones can be separated, if it has the
thirty-two teeth intact, will bring 5000
easily. An ordinary one. however, with
all the bones separated except those Of
the head, can be had for the former
price"
