An Ingenious Metal Cutter.

An account is given Of the introduce
ton into England, by Nine. De Long,
of her metal cutting machinery. which
has for some time been in successful
use in France. She has now, it ap-
pears, perfected some ingenious ma
chinery, worked by steam power,
which cuts with the utmost precision
the hardest and softest metals in any
design, 80 that by it can be produced
a gold lace pin or q steel castle port
cullis from the solid metal, without
any mOlding or filing. This unique
industry IL divided into four general
branches. The first is the production
of gates. doors, balcony fronts. and
other architectural metal work with
out casting-plates of brass a foot
thick being thus cut into lattice work
at u single operation. A second
branch is the making Of lattice metal
work filled in with glass, to supersede
the ordinary leaden frames for church
and other ornamental windows. The
third branch comprises the inlaying
of plush and ebony jewel cases,
cabinets. ETC., with red and yellow cop
per steel and other metals; and a
fourth for the working Of picture
frames, baskets. crests, ETC., out Of the
solid metal, fully finished.

1t into notice. 1t is an evergreen. Its sap

tree, for then the sap flows most abundant

Humboldt was much SURPRISED at discov-

was palatable and nutritious. His knowl-
edge Of botany had taught him that most
milky vegetable fluids are bitter and burn
ing to the taste. Some of them are poison
Gus. But here was one milky sap that put
even his great learning at fault.

Of the value Of human life when bis passions
or lusts or interests have been thwarted by
his brother man, or seem likely

been deficient in; and, by . kipd OF reflex

Cause Of Earthaunkes and Volcanoes.

The old theory Of earthquakes AMI vol.
canoes is that they are caus. ID by the spurt-
ing out and stopping over at times of an in
terror molten mass which IS founl at greater
or less distances below the thick CT ust OF the
earth's cool outer surface. A late writer
says the theory that he interior Of the earth
Is composed of O meltel redhot mass must
be abandoned. The new idea is that there
are three parts to t.Ie carths substance.
First, in the center is Il great, solid nucleus.
About this is ring OF sem fluid matter
which forms a viscId or sticky mass Out
side of this is solid earth crust. The ring or
layer of viscid substance il thus compressel
between two solids 1t slips around slowly
as the earth moves. Ibe motion of this in
ternal viscid layer causes upheaval or d.
preston in the earth's surface, according a
different portions are more or less yielding.
Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are
accounted for on the thery OF electrical dis
turbances. 1t is well known that electrical
currents are constantly passing and repasS-
ing through the earths crust Every tele-
graph operator knows that hs cannot tele-
graph from one city to another unless the
ends Of his wire are connected with the
earth" That there are good and bad con-
ductcrs Of electricity Is no less well known.
II tho current meets resistance in the shape
Of a bad conductor, 1t Is oostructed In its
free passage, and melt' metals, causes
things to take fire, and plays havoc gener-
ally In Ike manner. in the earth are min

Let US suppose, now," says a certain
writer, ''that strong current of electricity
passing through the earth along a vein Of
mineral meets with the resistance Offered
by a body whose capacity for conducting is
less, it naturally follows that great heat is

WOMEN BETTING ON RACES.

money. A favorite among the jockeys,
no matter what his mount may be- often
decides the way In which their money Is
to be placed. Oftener still the money
is placed upon the representative Of a

woman In ten who will not place her money
on a horse owned by one of the Lorillards-

q rule, have no use for short horses They
prefer to back the favorite on the theory
that the favorite usually wins and though
the returns for their investment may be
less, that it's better 10 make little than to
lose all Risk they don't want to think Of.
Certainties are what they are after.
