Rarine for Water.

The Los Angeles Herald has advocated
the making Of tunnels into the mountains
for the purpose Of obtaining water. Seven
have been made and all have been success
full. The largest yet made is that Of the
Chsffey Brothers, at Ontario, which is now
about 5000 feet in length, and gives
beautiful limpid stream of purest water
from 8 granite formation. The stream on
the surface o discharges thirty inches o.
water, but when the broken, rocky floor o.
the tunnel shall be covered with concrete
the flow will be 81 least 100 inches, and 10t
inches OF water st an elevation of 1,50t
feet is considered worth $1,000 O0, if no
more.

LABOR AND THE TRADE SIT
VATION.

Hon. I. V. Powderly has an ably
written article in the current number OF
thu North American Review, on 1.-THE
ARMY Of the. Disseminated" Its scope
IA 10 show the vast number OF men out
of employment and to indicate the
remedy. In the course OF his SUBJECT
he alludes to the tendency OF some peo-
ME to attribute the discomfort OF the
laboring element to the work OF labor
agitation, and forcibly says: Every
thinking person knows that the agitator
did not throw 1000, 900 of men out OF
employment"
Mr.. Powderly's remedy for the present
condition of things is the shortening OF
the hours of labor. In other words, he
proposes that the average OF about ten
hours labor shall be reduced one.ifth, so
as to allow one.ffth more men to be en-
ployed in obtaining the same capacity OF
production. This is undoubtedly an i'm
portant reform. But it does not reach the
true cause OF the present anomalous state
of affairs. Mr.. Powderly notices the
existing paradox, which in the midst OF
universal abundance entails general hard
ship upon the laboring classes; but he
fails to draw with sufficient force the fact
that "overproduction," or the theory by
which everything is so plenty that the
working classes cannot have enough OF
anything, can only be illustrated where
there are artificial barriers to the free In
terchange of products.
The existence OF such barriers is plain
in almost every department OF business.
In pools, combinations to advance the
price of staples and speculative corners In
the n-ecessaries of life, are to be found the
reason why the farmer and mechanic who
are making a surplus of their respective
products, cannot mutually exchange their
surplus and enjoy their abundance. Those
barriers must be removed before the eight.
hour or six.hour system of labor can help
the working.classes or evenbe successfully
attempted.

The Fire Test.
Ponular SCIENCE Monthly

Last year was not extraordinary in
its fire record. 1t bore no such cal
amity in It's course as 1871 or 1873,
when the nation was called to mourn
for Chicago or Boston. Yet there is
good reason to believe that during
1884 fires cost the United States $3.50,
600, 600. This enormous sum includes
estimates OF the amounts paid by in>
surance companies for losses and ex-
pensos, of the losses for which there
was no insurance, and of the outlay
IN maintaining fire departments in
towns and cities. The devastation by
lire the past year equaled in value
the lnsurable property in, say, so
large and wealthy a city as Buffalo.
Still more worse than the destruction
OF property by fire was the sufferings
of thousands by bodily injuries and
the losses of hundreds OF human lives.
OF minor but considerable Importance
is the prevailing dread of fire which
its imminent risk creates-a dread de-
Quoting so much from comfort and
peace of mind, particularly among the
people who work or live in tall and
unsafe buildings.
All competent students of the sub.
Juct are agreed that this tax on life
and treasure is largely avoidabla u
avoidable by care in construction and
use of buildings and attention TO tried
and proved means of extlnguishing
fire. The fire tax is the onerous one
paid by the nation.

with an intcrmission of fifteen min

ginger nuts and the like and dispose
of his wares to the schoolers. The

under teacher, VINO sees that the cash
department is satisfactorily managed,
and also that no improper goodies are
offered. The Graphic SAYS that among
such articles a kind of meringue tart
is especially forbidden as being ex-
pensive, and until one day last month
1t was supposed the order in this res
pect was universally obeyed. At that
time the teacher in charge, having
seen, as she supposed, the last girl
supplied hurried below stairs to
lunch, leaving, as usual, the baker to
make his exit. For some reason she
returned at once, and entering the
school-room was greatly surprised st
the scene which met her eyes. The
baker was still there, his basket push
ed aside, large tray of the tabooed
tarts before him, and surrounded by
group of eager girls, who bought and
Toasted as rapidly as possible. The
delouement was brief but decisive. It

Oil from Pine.
New Orleans Times-Democrat.

A distillery has lately been put in
operation in Charleston, S. c., for
manufacturing oil from pine wood.
The material is subjected to intense
heat in in sealed retorls, and one cord
of it is said to yield fifteen gallors of
turpentine, eighty gallons of pine
wood oil, fifty bushels of charcoal,
$50 of wood vinegar, and a quantity
of inhammable gas and vegetable as
phaltum. The oil alone is worth
about % cents a gallon, and is used
by painters and ship builders. Apart
from its commercial value, the proc ess
IS interesting as showing how modern
chemistry is able to supplant old des>
tructive chemical processes by which
a single article was produced from a
given material, and all the rest wasted
or ruined.

The Gold. beater's Art.


If a sheet of gold-leaf is held up
against the light II appears to be of a
vivid dark green color; this means
that the light is transmitted through
the leaf. When it is considered that
this leaf is piece of solid metal, a
better idea of the extreme tenuity of
thickness of the leaf can be compress
hended than by any comparison by
figures; nothing made by the hand of
man equals it in thickness. The ex-
treme thinness is produced by patient
hammering, the hammers Weighing
from seven to twenty pounds, the
lighter hammers being first used.
When the true method of this beating
is understood the wonder expressed
sometimes that gold-leaf beating
should not be regarded to machinery
ceases; the art belongs to the highest
department of human skill and judg-
ment. Apprentices have served a
term, and have been compelled to
abandon the business, because they
never could acquire the requisite skill
and judgment combined necessary to
become successful workmen.

Facts About Cancers.
Pittsburgh Dispatch.

Nearly every case of cancer can be
traced to some exciting cause, such as
an injury TO the part, local disease
in some of the glands or neglected
warthy growth. High living, with
insufficient exercise or the neglect of
the health, conduces to it. Tue most
generally accepted idea of the nature
of the disease is that it is the result of
the morbid growth or development
of white blood corpuscles, as the cells
usually fonnd in cancer resemble
these more than any other. These
cells do not increase and develop like
cells fouad ia pus and other morbid
conditions, but seem to emanate from
definite. source, and are produced at
a comparatively slow, but constantly
increasing rate The increase has
been noticed to correspond with the
decline ia general health, and the de-
crease to begin with the improve
ment of health.
