One of the most adhesive and durable
of cements for uniting iron surfaces is
found to be the oxide OF iron itself.
With this joint can be made so perfect
and sound that the iron will break before
the cement will part. AS an illustration
OF this statement the fact Is cited that,
IN removing the cast-iron pipe of a
oilge-pump from Ship that had
made four Atlantic voyages, it was
found necessary to take the sections
apart-the fianges' had been pasted with
cement of cast-iron drillings and filings,
mixed with sulphur and sal-anoniac
moistened with water, then the nuts.
three in each fiange, were set upon the
DOLLS, and the union was completed. The
four voyages occupied 'nearly year, ana,
on the separation of the parts being at.
tempted, even the cold chisel failed to
make division between the solid castings
and the cement that interviewed.

A new safety carriage for use in coal
mines has been introduced by Herr Kos
man OF Breslau, The idea Is a novel one.
Finely divided metallic zinc Is placed In
glass tube divided into two parts, one to
contain the Zinc, the other sulphuric
acid. This cartridge is placed In the
hole bored to receive It, and, being
"clayed,n the miner crives an iron rod
into the tube, which breaks the contracted
part OF IT, The sulphuric acid is thus
brought into contact With the zinc, and a
rapid evolution Of hydrogen gas takes
place.

PRINTING OFFICE PATRONAGE.

PRINTING OFFICE PATRONAGE.
Mr.. Rounds's Term and the Proba-
blilty OF a ChanEo-Abuses in the
Office.
The term Of Public Printer Rounds will
expire on April IL, and the candidates for
the position are pressing their claims. There
are about dozen, all told, but the Prcsl-
dent has not encouraged any of them. He
is said to be undecided whether TO retain
Mr.. Rounds or to appoint New York man,
as IL is about settled that New York will
get II. A gentleman who conversed with
the President on the subject said that the
latter wanted a man who was thoroughly
conversant with the business. There is only
one point which is not considered favorable
to Mr.. Rounds's retention, and this is the
manner Of making appointments. The
printing Office, as IL is now run, is thor
oughly under the control Of political in
fluence, which the President has declared
should have nothing to do with the gov
ernment service. There arc great many
petitions filed by worthy persons, II Is
claimed, which receive no consideration
owing to the lack Of political pressure. a
senator Of one Of the neighboriug states is
said to have secured the appointment
Of over 14S persons. There are fewer
bona flde residents Of this city In that de-
partment than In any other under the ma
tional government, according to the state
ment Of some Of the employees, and these
are compelled to seek outside influence.
This, IL is urged, is among the other demor-
alizing features of Washington, and the
President has been averse to such practices.
There is q great deal OF talk about estab-
fishing standard Of workmanship in the
several branches so that the government
would secure the best Of service and..dis-
courage political influence. Four Of the
best printers on the Record were discharged
the other day, with an intimation that II
they could secure certain inllHenco they
might be renstated.

The following weather predictions for the
city and vicinity Of Richmond, Va, were
made by F. l.. Capen, whose nautical fore
casts are now being investigated and veri-
fed by the Navy Department:
Saturday, 27th. Cold and dull, unsettled
and threatening, II not stormy; worse in
afternoon and night.
Sunday, 2sth. Variable. Day and night
are both beset with dull and cold or foul
factors, with some counteracting forces at
times-thus, from 10 q. m. and Except at
or near 3 p. m.) through the day and even
ing till or 10 o'clock. More genial inau-
ences soften and tone, perhaps dispel the
more adverse. The remainder Of the night
colder and more doubtful, If not worse.
Monday, 29th looks dull and doubtful in
morning, but will improve rapidly through
late morning and midday. Afternoon and
night fine.
Tuesday, 3Oth, is variable; fair with
clouds, at Z a. m; at noon, through after
noon, evening, and night, variable or mostly
fair.
Wednesday, 3lst. Cold and cloudy before
sunrise, improving fast after sunrise; fine
by noon and through afternoon and mostly
through the night; rather cold or dull by
or before sunrise on April /.

TIE GOVERNMENT FISH.
a Talk with the superintendent of the
Carp Ponds-An Embryo Menngerie.

a Talk with the Superintendent of the
Carp Ponds-An Embryo Menngerie.
"What causes that little gold fish to lay
on its side on top of the waterP" asked
reporter for the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, Of
DR.. Bessells, in charge Of the government
carp ponds, yesterday.
"rhey are sick when they do that" was
the reply.
"wiat success do you have in raising
gold fish,"
"We succeed in raising about two hun
dred out Of every thousand spawn. The
frost killed great many Of the fish,
Among the pretty and attractive fish was
long and graceful black trout. 1t was
very shy, and its quick, nervous, and watch
full movements indicated its distrust of even
its keeper. Many improvements are going
on about the grounds in the way Of cree
'tion of buildings and beautifying them with
flowers.
DR.. Bessells is a lover OF dogs, and he
has several fine blooded animals. Two Of
the dogs are expert divers and swimmers,
and they frequently make raids upon the
muslrats that find their way to the ponds.
In large cage In the center Of one OF
the ponds are two large American eagles.
They are vicious.looking.
81 suppose they are very tame from i'm
prisonmentYn was asked.
~ would not risk going in the cage"
said Mr.. Burns, the watchman, and he
shrugged his shoulders as II the recollection
of an experience of the kind came before
his mind.
Watchman Burns explained in detail the
methods used in raising the varied species
OF fish In the many ponds. The fish ranged
in size from the minnow to q thlrty-five
pound carp. The most interesting sights
were those presented by the gold and silver
Japanese fish. There are thousands OF these
sportive and graceful creatures to be seen.

Standard Silver Dollars,

,m ,.iter from AssisiSttt. Sscrst assv Fair
child asking for an appropriation for the
storage and transportation of the silver
dollars was laid before the House yester-
day.
lThe letter SAYS: "The last appropriation
for this purposr was 800, 900, made in 1888,
OF which there remains unexpended the
sum OF $1,707.2S. In view Of the fact that
the amount Of standard silver dollars re-
quired to be coined under existing law is
about 27,000,000 each year, and that the re-
naming space available In the vault Of the
subtreasury offices other than at New Or
leans is not sufficient for the storage Of the
coinage for the ensuing twelve months, II is
deemed advisable and prudent to ask that
a suitable appropriation be made to enable
the department to erect vaults in some
other Of the subtreasury Offices, leaving
the vault at New Orleans free for the stor-
age of the accumulation Of the coinage eX-
ecuted at the mint In that city."l
