NATIVE GARNETS.

Beautiful Gems Found in Montgomery
County, Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Egbert, of Bryn Mawr, has in his
possession several handsome specimens
of garnets, found within a short dis
lance of his house. owe have in Mont
gomery County, said Mr.. Egbert to
a reporter, "both garnets and emeralds.
There is a rock on Mill creek so full of
garnets that if every one was picked
out the rock would be as porous as a
sponge. They show the true garnet
color, or would if cut. But the hand
somest specimens have been found in
the Black Rocks near my house." The
Black Rocks cover an area of several
acres and are in the valley of Mill creek
in Lower Marion township, between
Bryn Mawr and Merton Square. They are
one of the three most notable out
groupings of a narrow stratum of SER
pentine rock which extends diagOnally
from Vermont to Virginia. This
stratum forms longitudinal basin, but
it is seldom wider than from one to
three miles. It has excited great inter
est among biologists, probably from
the color of the stone, which is nearly
black instead of being green, as SER
pentine usually is. Traces of the rock
are seen on the Delaware above Trenton,
but not again until the stratum reaches
Merton Square, on the hillside above
the ravine, in which are the Black
Rocks themselves. The rock slightly
manifests itself in Chester County and
then its second notable outcrOpping
is in the Black Barrens of PennsyIva-
MIA and Maryland. The third is in the
cliffs of the Potomac, near Shepards-
town, w. Va. The stone of which the
Black Rocks are composed is capable
of high polish, and when dressed APP
pears like black marble veined with
white. Part of it has been quarried,
but it is too hard to be readily worked.
As building stone it appears almost as
dark as slate. Besides garnets and
crystals of feldspar the rock contains
two or three dozen varieties of tale.
The Black Rocks are overgrown with
small cedar trees, tangled together
with wild grape vine, Virginia creeper
and cat briar, forming a dense mass of
vegetation, through some portions of
which it is impossible to form a pas
sage. But in the more accessible por-
tions the choicest treasures repay the
bOtanists careful search. Between the
rocks are springs and shallow pools of
collected water, while upon their sides
is forest mold, the bare top towering
above; so that within few feet of each
other may be collected half dozen
varieties of soil, producing the plants
peculiar to each. On a high bowlder
may grow the rock cress, requiring
very little earth. and just below ii

A LUCKY BOOTBLACK.

How Jimmy Costello Secured Twenty
eight Thousand Dollars.
Pittsburgh (Pa.) Cor. b )stOn GIobe.I
Jimmy Costello, fourteen-year old boot
black, with light hair and blue eyes, whose
field of labor is the lobby of the Mononga-
hela House, has invented a pump which
combines the vacuum and siphon princi-
pies, and has sold it to a Washington man
named Moorehead. Jimmy wanted $50,
900, and the Washington man offered S25, :

guardian has been appointed for Jimmy
and he will retire from shining and live on
the interest of his money.
Jimmy told this story to the Globe COR

a wAR ROMANCE.
How a Young Lady Saved Soldiers Life
and Won Loving Husband.
washington letter.

Congressman Stone, of Kentucky, who
walks about the House and up and down
the avenue on Notwithstanding lost a leg
in the Confederate service--is expecting his
wife to arrive here shortly from her Ken
lucky home. The story of Stones mar
riage is a strange and interesting one and
proves again that there are in
teresting incidents in real life as
are told in story books. Stone
was Confederate soldier, and at q battle
in Cynthiana, KY, was badly wounded.
As he fell his hat went one way and his
musket another, and he found himself una
bic to move or regain either. 1t was
scorching summer day, and he was obliged
to lie on that hot hillside exposed to the
intense heat of the blazing sun,
unable even to protect his face
except by throwing his arm
across his eyes. His life-blood was rapid
ly running away, and he became weaker
and weaker, and soon was unable to speak
or move. The blazing sun which fell on
his head and face was adding untold suf-
fering, in his enfeebled condition. After
the fight he was left with the dead and
dying, for it was supposed he could not
live more than few minutes or hours.
After the troops had withdrawn, some of
the people living in the vicinity of the
battlefield passed over it, relieving the
necessities of the wounded so far as possi-
bic. As they passed near where Stone lay
suffering in the hot sun, unable to speak, a
young lady in the party noticed him and
the sufferings the sun must produce if he
were still conscious. Telling her COM
panions she believed he was still alive, she
procured the ramrods from four muskets
lying near by, and sticking them in the
ground near his head, fastened over
the top scarf from her
shoulders, to break the rays of the SUM-
When the wounded were gathered from
the field it was found that Stone was still
living, and he was sent to the hospital.
There was a long struggle between life and
death, but he finally rallied and slowly re-
gained strength, after the amputation of
his right leg. The residents of the town
and vicinity did all they could for the suf-
ferers in the hospital, sending them food
and delicacies and often visiting them.
One day, after he had gained sufficient
strength to speak and notice those who
visited the hospital, he saw among the Wis
itors the young lady who had probably
saved his life by her kindness when he lay
helpless and speechless on the battlefield.
When opportunity offered he spoke to her
of the occurrence and thanked her for her
kindness. The acquaintance thus begun
ripened into love, and she is now his wife.

LABOR AND MACHINERY.

An Interesting Extract from the Recent
Report of the Statistical Bureau.
The mechanical industries of the
United States are carried on by steam
and water power, representing in
round numbers $500, 900 horsepower,
each horsepower equaling the muscu-
lar labor of six men; that is to say, if
men were employed to furnish the
power to carry on the industries of this
country it would require 1,000,0 900
men, and q, 900, 900 men represent a
population, according to the census of
1880, of 100, 000,0 900. The industries
are now carried on by 400, 900 persons
in round numbers, representing pop
ulation of 10000, 900 only. To do the
work, then, accomplished by power
machinery in our mechanical indus
tries and upon our railroads, would
require men representing a population
172, 800, 900 in addition to the present
population of the country of 5,000,
600, or a total population, with hand
processes and with horsepower, of
227, 500, 900, which population would
be obliged to subsist on present means.
In an economic view the cost to the
country would be enormous. The
present cost of operating the railroads
of the country with steam-power is in
round numbers $500, 600, 600 per an
mum. but to carry on the same amount
of work with men and horses would
cost the country 1,30S, 500, 900.
These illustrations, of course, show
the extreme straits to which country
would be brought if it undertook to
perform its work in the old way.

EFFECTS ON THE MOON.

What the Earth Is Able to Do in Return
for the Production of Our Tides.
The tidal wave, set up on the earth
by the moon, reacts to certain extent
also upon the moons orbital period.
The moon is dragged forward in its
path by the terrestrial tidal wave, as
certainly as the tidal wave is drawn
backward on the rotating earth by the
moon, and this implies an enlargement
of the orbit of the moon and a recess
sion of the moon from the earth. This
process must go on until the day and
the month both meet in a common
period of about one thousand, four hun
dred hours. But if this be the case, the
moon must have been once much nearer
to the earth than it is now. Prof. Oar
win carries back his investigation in
this direction to a time when the moon
revolved about the earth in somewhere
between two and four hours, and in
position where it was nearly in contact
with the earth and IN which it was ro-
tating in the same periOd-a state
which may be looked upon as having
been antecedent to the time when fric-
ton began its ''work of grinding down
axial velocity and expanding orbital
range. The moon then started on its
long spiral journey out from the earth.
Prof. Darwin calculates that this start
occurred not less than $4,000 900
years ago! But the most rapid
rate of rotation in a fluid mass
that would be consistent with spheroid-
al equilibrium is two hours and
twenty minutes. One second of aug
mentation more than this in the rate of
rotation would inevitably cause the rO-
tating mass to fly asunder. The pSe-
sumption is that the earth did fly asun-
der from overcast spinning, and that
such disruption was cO-incident with
what Miss Clarke speaks of as the
birth throes of the moon" Prof. Oar
win, however, conceives that, in all
probability, the lunar-terrestrial sys-
tenn is an exception among the bodies
swayed by the sun, due to the circum-
stance that the moon is prOportionally
by far the most massive satellite known,
and that the influence of tidal drag has
been concomitantly great No other
satellite ever possessed tide-raising
capabilities at all comparable with the
influence which is exerted by the moon.
The separation of satellites from their
primaries essentially depends upon the
attainments of a disruptive rate of rO-
tatiOn-an effect which may be pre-
vented by the secondary effect of the
additional tidal drag set up by the sun
keeping down the velocity of the rOta-
ton of the primary below the velocity
that would correspond with the actual
point Of disruption. The earth just
escaped this degree of retardation, and
hence the existence of its solitary satel-
