AN ingenious little instrument called
tine "hyalolyphotype," or more sensi-
bly, hot pen, has been invented, by
means of which drawings can be made
on glass or CLASSY substances with a
waxy composition, which is solid and
somewhat hard at ordinary tempera-
TIRES. The pen can be heated by Gas
or electricity, and when heated the
waxy material flows easily from it, set
ting SO quickly on the glass that cross
patching can be done more rapidly
than with ordinary pen and ink, with
out risk Of blocking up the angles.
Corrections can be made with a pen
knife. After the drawing has been
made, the plate is etched by iluoric acid.
and when complete it can be either
electrotyed, stereotyped, used directly.
or applied to any purpose for which en-
graved surfaces are required.

illustrated by q letter written by q

IHE nineteenth century is growing
old indeed. In little more than thir-
teen years it will expire Poor old
Century! how much it has seen and
how many trials has it passed through.
When it began our Republic was but a
child, as it were. Almost its whole life
has been cocxistent with the century
now drawing toward it's close. There
was question at one time whether the
century would not outlive the Repub-
lie, but the indications now are that tho
latter will survive and be able to close
the eyes of the nineteenth century as
it welcomes the advent Of its successor.

Across the street lives an italian noble
man i'll reduced circumstances, who
ekes out his poor existence with the aid
OF poor monkey and worse hand
organ. To Garibaldi comes Dennis
one evening, and, after passing the
time Of day, warns up to the subject
in hand.
"Av We PLACE. AIisther Garrybaldy,"
says Dennis, in his most unct,1ous and
wheedling tone, "wud ye have any OBJ.

"Niver We mind" replied Dennis.

The count suggested that ten cents

after vainly attempting to find out what
Dennis was going to do Will the mon
key. Dennis haggled and tried to
beat the Italian down. but Garibaldi
wouldn't have it that way, and the deal
was closed at this figure.
Everything went beautifully for q
few days. The monkey WAS returned
regularly in tim" not to interfere with
the requirements of the counts profess
sion. 10 be sure, the animal looked a
little hollow-eyed ana careworn, but in
the main was i'll good condition.
| Finally, however, the Italians Curl
osity got the better of his avarice. and
he told Dennis that the monkey would
not be loaned any more. This an
nouncement had q most depressing cf-
feet on Dennis. His megatherian intel
lect rose to the emergency though, and
lie proceeded to effect one of those
mastery financial coups which dazzle
people who are not familiar with the
; workings Of the capitalistic mind.
"Garrybaldy," said Dennis, "av yell

"All-a-right-a, said the italian.
At this the new partners shook
hands, and each took another pull out
of the can of beer which Dennis had
warily provided to Intricate the nego-
tiat;ons. Then Dennis in his custom
ary lordly manner put his arm through
the Italians, and together they saun-
tered over to the backyard of the
, house where Dennis lived.
"D'ye see tibet ther pole, Garry?" in
qnired Dennis. pointing to a pole some
fifteen feet high, surrounded by a
, cross-piece.
The italian couldn't very well help
seeing it, and remarked that II was
within the range of his vision.
