The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1885-02-19
So LONDONDERRY, THURSDAY FEBRUARY

his end approached, perceiving the in
dignity Of these actions, he screwed
himself round to face us, and, half
raising his massive head, glared at us
with undying fsrocity for moment
and then gave forth such final roar
as l hope never to hear again. Crag
and precipice shook with it all around.
It set the elephants trumpeting in the
forest, and drove sleep for the night
from the eyes of the black monkeys.
While the savage cry still sounded l
fired the coup de grace into his brain
and the strong neck of the jungle mon
arch bowed; death fell like cloud
upon the green glitter of his eyes, and
limp and harmless, as the broken
bushes around him, the terror Of the
forest and the plunderer of the shep-
herds herds lay STILL We were safe
enough after that second. but the ski
hari was vexed with the rashness
shown in descending the tree. "Never
90 down from machan to kill tiger,
sahib," he said, unconsciously Irish
"until you are pretty sure that he is
dead"

What is Tin Ware2

1t does not appear to be generally
known that the article so commonly
used for household utensils, for cans,
for roofing, ETC., called ''tin," really
contains very little tin, seldom more
than one part in forty or fifty. Tin
pure this silvery white metal,
and is the lightest and easiest melted
of all the metals in common use; it
being only about five-eighths as heavy
as lead, and requires only about two
thirds the heat to melt it. Pure tin is
called "block tin," but it is rarely used
pure, the utensils, said to be made Of
block tin being alloys with other
metals. Our common tin ware is
really tin plate-a thin sheet of iron.
coated with film of tin. Plates of
iron of the proper size and thickness
are secured with sand and acid until
perfectly clean, and then dipped
several times in melted tin; coating
of tin of variable thickness, adheres to
the iron. The object of coating iron
with tin in this manner is to protect
the iron from rusting. Tin when
exposed to air does not rust or even
tarnish, while iron readily does so, but
the thin coating of tin completely
protects it.

Who was Davy Crockett

The famous backwoodsman, hunter,
soldier and legislator, Col. David Crock
EFT, says a Southern paper, was BON
at Limestone, on the Nolachucky River
in Tennessee, Aug. II, 1876. His
father-of Irish brth-after various
other vocations, opened tavern on
the road from Abingdon to Knoxville,
where David passed his youth from
seven to twelve years of age.
He was sent to country school,
but on the fourth day uarreled with
the schoolmaster, and, after playing
trua1t for time, fed from home to
avoid a fogging, threatened both by
his father and master. For FIVE years
he roamed about with drovers and car
riers, till in his eighteenth year he re-
turned home, attended school for two
months, learning his letters for the
first time, and soon after married. He
then went to live in the widest por-
ton of the State, where he distin-
guished himself as mighty hunter
and crack shot, as attested by the ia
nous "coon" story; though as a mat
ter of fact the real hero of that anec-
dote is said to have been Capt. Martin
Scotia person scarcely less distin-
guished in his day as sportsman than
Davy Crockett himself.
In 1918 David Crockett served in
the Creek war under Gen. Jackson.
and after the peace settled at Shoal

Antinuity of Roller Skating.

The origin of roller skating dates
many years back, having been intro
duced at Paris in the year 1919 by NJ.
Dumas, at the Porte st. Martin Thea
ter, where pas de deux was executed;
on roller skates. No attempt was
made at that time to popularize the
new invention. In the year 1929 the
ballet in the opera of lie Prophete,"
by Meyerbeer. were mounted on wheels
or roller skates.
In the celebrated skating scene in
lie Prophetic" to which the composer
has written such characteristic music,
peasants, soldiers and sailors, in fact
all classes of the population of Hol-
land appear on the ice of the Stage
river and skate away to their destina-
ton. Unfortunately, some of the
skaters found it sooner than they had
expected by bringing up in one of the
boxes on level with the stage. The
skates of that period were very clumsy
as compared with those now in use.
The pivot principle had not at that
time been adopted, and the skaters
and dancers found it difficult to either
stop themselves or tuIn without
slackening their speed. In France
and Brussels large rinks were opened
with considerable success over fifty
years ago.

ters having flocked together, it wss
found necessary to establish tempo
rary government, and he was appoint
ed one of the magistrates. He soon
after became q candidate for the Leg
islature and made successful cleo
tioneering tour by shooting,at matches

he was elected by the party of Jackson

At Washington, he obtained noto-
riety by the eccentricity of his manner
and language. In 1929 he was again
chosen to Congress, but soon after

nent of Jackson's administration; and
in 1881 it required his most strenuous
exertions to secure his reelection.

A Petrihed OYSter.

While digging well at Rome, Ga,
workman found, at the depth of sixty
feet down in the bowels of the earth, a
petrified oyster. A legend exists to
the effect that church supper held in
Rome twenty-five years ago was
almost a failure on account of its
oyster escaping from back window
and taking to the woods. 1t is sup
po ell that this petrifed bivalve is the
miss ng oyster. We suspect it was
recognized by mole between its
shoulder blades. The oyster must
have been terribly frightened to bur-
row so deep in the earth,-Norrtstomn

An Application that Was Refused.

A Washington correspondent to the
Philadelphia Record tells the follow
ing: l think l have new Lincoln
Stanton story. At least the congress
man who told it spoke as though he
had just discovered the document
which is it's basis. 1t was an applica-
tion for chaplaincy in the army, with
a series of endorsements by Lincoln
and Stanton on its back which ran
over the available space on the appli-
cation and down on slip of paper
which had been added to receive them.
These were the endorsements. each
being dated: Dear Stanton: Appoint
this man a chaplain in the army. A
Lincoln Dear Mr.. Lincoln. He is
not a preacher. E. M. Stanton. "
Three or four months elapse, evident
", and then we have: Dear Stanton:
He is now. A. Lincoln" "Dear Mr..
Lincoln: But there is no vacancy. E.
NJ. Stanton" "Dear Star ton: Appoint
him chaplain-at-large. A. Lincoln. y
"Dear Mr.. Lincoln: There is no war
rant of law for that. E. NJ. Stanton.
"Dear Stanton: Appoint him anyhow
A. Lincoln" "Dear Mr.. Lincoln:
will not. E. Nj. Stanton" And hi
didn't. But apparently he told the
applicant that he could leave his appli
cation on file, for there it is among tht
dry old documents.
