OIL ON TROUBLED WATERS.
Turbulent Waves Turned Into Harmless
Green Billows.

Turbulent Waves Turned Into Harmless
Green Billows.
The time is fast approaching when
the now rising generation will wonder
at the folly of having ever neglected
of evidence on this subject which has re-
Gently accumulated has now compelled
attention from the most skeptical and
the experiments SO successfully carried
out on the stormy coast of Aberdeen
shire, at the harbor of Peterhead, have
borne fruit far and near.
Some of the fishers who have wit
messed them remembered them to good
purpose when trying to enter the har-
Dor at Stonehaven, and warned of their
danger by the white-crested waves rag
ing on the bar. They had with them
only a little colza-oil and little paraf-
fine for their lamps vegetable and min
eral oils)-So little that most men would
have deemed it mere folly to cast such
upon tempestuous waves. But these
men had profited by their lesson One
man stood on either bow, and, lust as
the boat approached the raging surf,
they slowly poured out their offering to
the waves, which, as if by magic, ceased
to break, and rolled on In harmless
green pillows, which carried the boat
safe into port. / have also just heard
from Cornwall that party of Cornish
fishers who CHANGED to be at Aberdeen
at the time of the experiments, and
there witnessed the stilling of the waves,
returned to their own granite bound
coast with the conviction that they had
seen something which hereafter it may
be well for them to practice.
Now, thanks to the same large-heart-
ed and enegetic Scotchman who planned
and brought into practical working the
oil-breakwater at Peterhead, the men
of Kent can tell with wonder of its APP
plication to their own barber of Folke->
stone, and are eye-witnesses of how
quickly, on very stormy day, few
gallons of oil have Gained the breaking
waves, and made the harbor smooth
and safe. The London papers, in re-
porting on these experiments, have
stated the general belief that, by this
simple use Of oil, entrance and egress
to Folkestone Harbor may henceforth
be made absolutely secure in the Sc
verest storms. Popular Science Month

Diseases Caused by the Breathing of In

Few people are aware of the diseases
which result from breathing air infect
ed with the excrements of the domestic
cat. Nature, recognizing the morbid
influence of this noxious matter, has
endowned all the feline tribe with an
instinct for burying their fnces. M.
Charles Richet has recently communi-
Gated to the Academic des Sciences the
principal conclusions at which he b
arrived. He shows that various pha

Numerous patients were treated

ninety-five per cent. of these he trad
to quarters of Paris where cats W
kept for absentees, and also for tn
skins. Most of the occupants of tehe-
ments where cats were lodged he found
afflicted more Or less with cutaneols
or glandular disorders, some of whom
had died in the hospitals. Some pow
erful facts were also brought forward
from experiments made with dogs and
rabbits. Two weeks confinement in
infected compartments caused these
animals to become feeble and sickly,
the cutaneous nerves becoming in
famed and coated with species of
bacteria. I'm habitations contaminat-

recommends the use of chloride of lime
or dry earth as remedial agencies; the
latter having the advantage of not bel

that the state of the blood depends
mainly on the condition of the air that

Some Facts About Them Which Are Not
Generally Known.
The material entering into the manu-
facture of saws must of necessity be OF
a peculiar character, besides which the
maker of the steel as well as the saw
maker should know nearly the rate Of
speed at which the saw is to be run, for
a saw running at very high rate of
speed needs, of necessity, to be of DIFF
ferent temperature as regards the CEN
ter. When a disk of steel is made into
saw the maker can hammer it so as
to leave either soft or hard center.
A saw having soft center will wabble
if person takes hold of the edge and
starts it vibrating, while if it has a
hard center one part will not shake
any more than another. Again, a saw
with hard center, if driven at high
rate of speed, will not cut off straight
for the simple reason the center being
hard it will not adapt itself to the diff
ferent degrees of hardness of the tim
Der, and will not resist the influence of
unequal stiffness existing between the
sawed board on one side and the solid
log on the other. If, however, a saw
EtdS u SOU CcubCI ASs1N 10 SsAN Ola ~ AAAOoAoAx
of 100 revolutions a minute or more,
the centrifugal force, straining at the
center, stifens the saw and keeps the
edge steady. People ordinarily seem to
think that there has been the same
straining after ornamental effect in
vertical saws, so odd are the shapes of
the teeth. But with these saws we see
again that the study of the manufac-
turer has been solely to produce the
greatest possible strength and cutting
power commensurate with the size and
velocity of the saw. In conclusion, it
will be noticed that some of the verti-
cal saws have dull teeth alternating
with the sharp ones; by being properly
made, the dull teeth do not reach out
quite so far as the sharp ones, and are
placed there for the purpose of keeping
the saw-dust' out of contact with the
cutting or true teeth of the saw.-Msd-

Cleveland men made a rush for this,
but were driven back by the
police, and the holder of

that it would cost, say sixteen dollars,

that barn. They would go over it
like cats on back fence, and put
points on every corner, and conduc-
tors down every side. The farmer
and his family would look on in
amazement, and be so pleased at the

would not kick at the number of points.

was wild last night. Both parties paraded
the streets. There was much ill-feeling.
A Hallowel man entered the Democratic
headquarters and kicked in the head of q
big baSe-drum. He was arrested.
The Democrats purchased new drum
and came out on the streets.
On receipt of the National Republican
Committees proclamation the Republic
cans howled like demons. Both parties
then renewed their parading and firing
rockets. The man who was beating the
Democratic drum was struck in the head
by brick, receiving severe wound and
having one EYE injured. Matters grew
dangerous, until cooler heads persuaded
both parties to return to their headquar-

soon came out again, followed by the
Democrats, and paSdemonium reigneu.

police were the two parties kept from q

of free ships has very little to do with the

is not in the first cost of the ships, but in
the extra cost of running such ships each
year. An English ship is taxed annually one
per cent. on her net income; an American
ship is subjected to State, federal and local
taxation as real estate. Let MS see how that
would work even If we had free ships. Sup

Let the capital invested in both be the same,
