SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

| It has been observed in Russia that
extreme cold converts tin into semi
crystalline mass containing large cavities.
In one instance the pipes of church
organ were so altered by cold as to be no
longer sonorous.
In the construction of chimney stacks,
says the architect. there should be at the
top of every flue an expanded space,
within which most down draughts of air
will rotate and expand their force with
out invading the tlue below.
The magnitude of the slate industry in
this country can be imagined when it is
stated that the total amount produced of
roofing slate alone is 500, 900 squares per
year. A "square" is about 100 square
feet, or sufficient to cover space 10x10
feet when laid on the roof. 1t covers the
same area as 900 shingles.
French engineers, sfter long and re-
peated experiments in drying, painting,
ETC., inside and outside of boilers to pre-
vent decadence when not in USE have
decided as follows "a steam boiler
which is about to be unused for time
should be thoroughly cleaned, and, in
stead of drying, should be filled quite
full of water"
can ideally pure water" said Pro-
fessor Willis G.. Tucker in an address be-
fore the Albany institute, "should be
clear, colorlcss, tasteless and odorless,
though little such exists in nature, and
these properties are not necessarily proof
of purity. Water may be clear as crys-
tai and yet carry typhoid fever from
hamlet on one side of mountain to
jewellers on the other side, as in the cele-
brated case at Lausanne, Switzerland.
With view of avoiding explosions
nj. Schlumberger recommends that a
bottle of ammonia should be placed in
each barrel of petroleum. On ignition by
accident or otherwise the bottle would
break and the ammoniacal vapors would
at once extinguish the fire. DR.. Petra
Santa proposes to apply this method to
golfers liable to fire damp. Tanks filled
with ammonia would, it is said, stop the
combustion, as it could not continue in
an ammoniacal atmosphere.
Some interesting researches concern
ing cholera prevention are being made
by DR.. Ferran, of Barcelona. He has
prepared an atteruated cholera virus,
of which three medical men have been
inoculated. The NEGOTIATIONS were fol-
lowed by severe local pains and feverish
symptoms, which suddenly disappeared
after duration of about twenty four
hours. No further i'll effects have been
experienced. 1t now remains TO prove,
as DR.. Ferran confidently expects to do,
that these NEGOTIATIONS have conferred
complete immunity from attacks of chol-
era.
1t is the opinion of many eminent
British engineers that the English Goals
will gradually cease to be sent to the
Black Sea or to the Mediterranean, and
even the Red Sea, as the use of petroleum
refuse in engines becomes better under.
stood. Already it is the only fuel in
. use on the Caspian, either in the mcrcan-
tile marine, in the Russian gunbost
flotila, or on the railways, and even in
domestic stoves it is in favor throughout
the Caucasus. At present, in the coun-
tries of the East, much oil refuse is
poured into the sea, as the only way to
dispose of it.

Village Life In England.

Once off the beaten track, once away
from the railway lines, and it is singular
to note how life seems to remain poised,
as it were, becoming suddenly mere
calm existence. We drive on for miles
and meet no human being, and we come
upon villages where folks have never
troubled themselves to see what train
is like, content with hearing from other
people that such things are.
One of these is we'll worth the pause
that we make. 1t is calm place enough

KILLED BY MILITIA.
striking Quarrymcn in Illinois Fired
Upon by Troops.

Dispatches from Lemont ILL.,. give the fol-
lowing particulars of collision there be-
tween striking quarrymen and the State
militia:
The strike among the quarrymen here and
ut Joliet has finally assumed proportions Of
magnitude. The men who went out because
they failed to receive an advance of
wages from S150 to 81. % a day have been
in turbulent condition for four weeks.
during which period the quaiTies have all
been idle. A number of the quarry owners
had repeatedly tried to resume operations,
bnt the strikers invariably drove the work
men away. 1t became evident on Friday that
the county authorities could not control the
strikers and the governor was asked
to send troops. He responded promptly by
sending five companies from Joliet, Ottawa
La Sale, Streator and Bloomington. The
first meeting between the troops and
strikers occurred between Lemont
and Joliet Saturday afternoon, but
the 400 strikers, who were march
ing on Joliet from Lemont, fled when exposed
to a sudden attack by the militia Seventy
of their number, however, were captured by
the troops, disarmed, and marched to Joliet
under guard On Sunday morning the sheriff
of Will county released the prisoners and
they returned to Lemont.
This has been a bloody day for the Lemont
strikers, says later dispatch. A collision oc-

wounded men have since died The streets

and Calling gun. They have their pickets
out and guards are patroling the town.
When the militia had gone the people began
to take an inventory of the casualties 1t was
found that two men We're dead an six others
had been more or less seriously wounded. Of
these two have since died. The dead were all

THE OLD, OLD STORY.

Country people are always in search
of bargains. Auction sales in the
cities attract a good many farmers,
who come with their wives to look
after bargins in furniture and horses.
They look over the list of auctions
and find that a gentleman who is
about to go to Europe, offers his splen.
did furniture and carpets for sale.
Here is a chance for bargains. The
farmers wife takes her husband-and
his pocket book-and goes to see the
handsome furniture sacrificed. Every
bids she makes is raised by. stout
man with a red bottle nose, hand.
somely colored and knobbed all over
by rum. The lady wonders why this
man wants every thing she wants,
and sets her mind on beating him
every time-"the hasty, red-nosed
thing" She gets mad; cher dan.
der's up" so to speak, and she gets
all she wanted, and a great deal
more, in spite of the remonstrances
of her scared husband. "Well,p
she says, +" Mrs. Jones will open her
eyes now when she sees the blue satin
parlor set, and the best bedroom set,
and the gorgeous carpets" The good
woman finds to her sorrow that the
goods never were owned by any
gentleman gone to Europe, but are
trashy rubbish, stuck together with
glue; the blue satin is cotton and
fades all out, and the carpets are
mere "skins." 1t is all bogus. This
trick is played every day, and the
red-nOscd man is fraud who never
buys anything but makes his living
by raising bids" day after day.
Avoid all auction rooms and horses
which are "the property of a widow
whose husband, recently deceased,
was in the trucking trade" Theun
grateful city is what the old Roman
poet called it, and what was true two
thousand years ago, is true now, be-
cause human nature is all the same.
And this is precisely why history
repeats itself in small things as well
as great. Ifa farmer or dweller goes
to a city in search of bargains, let
him or his wife always go to rePut
able store, and never, NEVER, NEV'
ER trust a stranger; or be VIII De
sure to find how ungratefnl the city
is to the men VINO feediC and supply
it with business.-American AgrieSt
