OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.
NEW York. June 9Th 1884

We no longer have to depend on
tue announcements Of watering
place proprietors to know positively
that summer has come. At the
first indication of the season the
Casino roof is thrown open, and
crowds on it nightly and an extra
crush on Sunday accept tho CRATE
full omen.
The Casino is a unique place of
amusement III almost every res
pect. 1t gives an entertainment
unlike that of any musical resort III
the city, as novel as are Days en-
tcrtainments among the theatrical
attractions. The house is unlike
anything in this country devoted
merely to pleasure, or probably in
any other land, though it claims to
be based on Moorish architectural
models.
1t reverses the ordinary rule of
theatrical architecture, inasmuch
as it puts the auditorium up two
flights of stairs reached by an ele-
vator. 1t gives two stages to a
single auditorium, and puts the
pleasure seeker out of doors on the
roof, for his greatest enjoyment.
1t has a novelty, too, in a manager,
conductor and protector, all com
bined in the one person of Young
Randolph Aronson.
The exhibition Of the Society of
American Artists will continue I'M
til June 26, but with this exception
the art season may fairly be con
sidered at an end. Although the
past season began and ends with
disappointmcnts. it has presented
events Of importance to amateurs,
and American art has received a
marked stimulus. The autumn
exhibition of the Academy was a
negative performance, and the eX-
hibition of the Salamagundi Club
fell h~opelessly flat, both as regard
ed interest and sales.
The sketches and studies shown
at the American Art Gallery were
good in their modest way, but the
prospects of native art for the sea
son renamed doubtful until the
opening Of the Clarke exhibition in
December.
General Grant still occupies the
four-story brown-stone house here,
with its bay-window front, which
is the first east Of 9th avenue, on
the north side OF Goth street. A
broad staircase leads to the costly
stained glass doors. If you ring, a
colored tootman in livery conducts
You to the small reception room to

along the corridor and turning to

way from which rich velvet hang
ing depend into the spacious draw
ingroom. There the acme of lux
urv and good taste seems to have
been reached in the bright-tinted
carpets and satin furniture of odd
design. There also are displayed
the valuable presents received by
the General from the severeigns Of
foreign lands during his trip around
the world. The library, dining
room and the rooms upstairs, tho
fitted up in less magnificent style,

wealth and refinement. General

Making Screws.

The process of making screws is
very interesting one. The rough, large
wire in big coils is, by drawing through
a hole of less diameter than itself,
made the needed size. Then it goes
into a machine that at one motion cuts
it proper length and puts head on
it. Then it is put into sawdust and
"rattled," and thus frightened. Then
the head is shaved down smoothly to
the proper size and the nick put in at
the same time. After ''rattling" again
in the sawdust. the thread is cut by
another machine, and after another
''rattling" and thorough drying, the
screws are assorted BIZ hand (the
fingers of those who do this move al
most like lightning). crossed by weight
and packed for shipment. That which
renders it possible for machines to do
all this is little contrivance that looks
and opens like goose's bill, which
picks up single screw at a time, car
ries it where needed, holds it until
grasped by something else, and returns
for another. This is one of the most
wonderful pieces of automatic machin-
cry ever seen, and it does its distinctive
work at the rate of thirty one screws a
minute. although this rate is only ex-
perimental IS yet Ninety-three gross
day, however, has been the regular
work of one machine. - philadelphia

SulphurOus Gas.

Repeated experiments have proved
that fowls can be cured of Group speed
lily by the fumes of sulphur. A safe
method of administering this is to take
four strips of board about two feet in
length and six inches in width; nail
these together so as to form the sides of
OF box; nail boards across the bottom,
and this forms box that will hold.
earth. Place three inches of soil in this
box and set it in the poultry house or
stable where the poultry or other sick
animals are. Take strong iron kettle
--one that is wide and shallow is best
adapted to the purpose-and put in two
or three shovelfuls of coal from the
stove. Set the kettle in the box of soil
and sprinkle on couple of spoonfuls
OF sulphur. The fumes will soon pene-
trate every part of an ordinary-sized
room and cause the croupy fowls to
cough and sneeze, bringing up mucous
and phlegm through the nostrils and
mouth. Repeat this treatment three
times daily for three DAYS. If the room
is small one spoonful of sulphur will do
at time. When cattle in barns are in
fcsted with lice, fumigate twice day
for three days and the lice will disap-
pear. For large stable a greater
quantity of sulphur is required. A
physician who has tested the merits of
sulphurous gas, says: s-s.For children
with Group or whooping-cough, catarrh
or any affection of the bronchial tubes,
inflammation of the lungs. etc.. give fu-
migation with sulphur before any physic
is taken into the stomach. In cases of
typhoid fever fumigate with sulphur

Vaccination.

At the instance of Mr.. Burt, a par
liamentary paper is just published
which will not make pleasant reading
for the anti-vaccination fanatics. Ii
shows at glance the annual number
of deaths from small -pov in the army
and navy since 1860, together with the
ratio. of such deaths per 1000, and the
number of men joining in each year
Throughout the whole. period, with
very few exceptions, the tendency has
been toward constant diminution OF
mortality. In the case of the army,
this is all the more gratifying on ac-
count of the much larger number of
recruits now joining the service, class
particularly liable to catch any infec-
tious disease which happens to be rife.
During the first five years to which the
table refers, the average annual NOR
tality from smallpox in the army was
Z9.5, and the average number of re-
cruitS lO,929. But in the last five wears
the mortality per annum fell to 5.5,
while the number of men joining rose to
1865. Turning to the companion serv-
ice which had 26 fatal cases in 1860, we
find clean record for two years in sue
cession-lS77 and 1S7S-and the final
ratio per 1000 is only .03, the same as
in the army. 1t appears established,
therefore, by these tests that compul-
sorry revaccinatiOn is slowly but surely
operating to stamp out smallpox both
in the army and navy, and if this hap
pens in these cases we have warrant for
believing that the same results might
be accomplished in the civil population.

Painting Tin ROoss.

Tin on house top should be well
painted once in four years. For roofs,
light, cool colors are preferable, be-
cause they reflect the warm rays of
light, and thereby lessen the expansion
and contraction of the metal and the
shrinking of the boards underneath,
and so lessen the liability of the tin to
crack in the seams. The temperature
of attic rooms in the summer will be
materially lower If the roof be painted
with light rather than with a dark
color. The writer has learned from
long experience that the finest French
ocher is the most economical pigment
that can be used for that purpose. IL,
as Is sometimes the case in country
houses, where the roof is q conspicuous
object in the architecture of the build
ing. dark color be indispensable, the
use of pure Venetian red darkened with
lampblack is recommended as the most
durable and economical. II BY some
process the oil used in roof painting
could be prevented from becoming hard
and brittle, it would be great gain.
The poorest oil paint. however, is
better than neglect; and the best econ
omy consists in keeping tin entirely and
thoroughly protected from the cor
roding influence of dampness. Old
paint, which has become s'fatty" from
exposure to the atmosphere, is better
than new for roof painting. Not q
drop of turpentine should be used for
such work.-The Metal Worker

A Man Who Likes to be Hung.

named Anton Dresser, who had been

hanging. When discovered and cut

was restored to consciousness. He
