STAMPED LEATHER.
One of the Principal Manufacturing Spe-
clalties of Japan.

One of the Principal Manufacturing spe-
cialties of Japan.
One of the specialties of leather
manufacture in Osaka, Japan, is
stamped leather. And, although made
in large quantities in Osaka, it is
chiefly sent to Trieste, Austria, to be
made up, as also to Vienna, where it is
made into pocket-books, portfolios,
cigar cases and other articles. AT Toy
onos is the largest leather manufactory
in Osaka. These squares of stamped
leather are brought out in more than a
hundred designs of bugs, birds and
fishes, covering the ground closely,
each piece of leather being about
twenty-four inches square, and worth
about S1.10 each. The larger pieces,
which are stamped with elaborate de-
signs in gold or colors, and designed
for the foreign trade, are much higher,
being worth from $1,000 to $500
each, according to size and quality.
These are used for wall decorations,
and make very handsome panels. The
dies used in making these stamps are
quite costly, and the work is al done
by hand. The stamping is done on
hand presses, and the coloring and
gliding is all done by hand. These
goods have become popular in this
country, and are carried in stock by
all dealers in fancy leather goods and
stationery. Western StatiOner.

A CURIOUS BANK.
The Treasure Trove Found by a Pennsyl-
vania Carpenter.


vania Carpenter.
Some years ago, an old wooden
bridge spanned the Schuylkill river at
the foot of Penn street, Reading, Pa.
In the course of time more substan-
tial structure was deemed necessary,
and the timbers of the old bridge were
carefully taken apart, and reserved for
use in repairing and rebuilding the
smaller county bridges. While pre-
pairing some of this old timber for its
new use, u few days ago, it became
necessary to saw off several feet from
heavy piece, which was TO be used rs
girder in a small bridge under con-
temptation. when the end portion
dropped to the ground, the workman
was astonished to hear u jingling sound
rs of gold and silver coin. A sum-
mons of such good omen insured
speedy investigation, which re-
suited in finding eagles, half
eagles, silver dollars, halves and
quarters mixed together in careless
confusion. Tho source of supply was
found in section about eighteen inches
in length and five inches deep, which
had been followed ont OF the log with
augor and chisel. An inch-thick cover
had been fitted over the opening so
clevcrly and sealed with so much care
that detection, other than accidental,
was hardly possible. Tho treasure had
been confined in home-knit woolen
stocking, and as the saw cut OF the toe,
part Of the contents was discharged.
The value of the deposit, though re-
ported to be considerable. was not
made public. The money was probably
hidden away a number of years ago, as

up in piece Of writing paper, were

Discovery of Prehistoric Ruins In the Stats
of Sonora. Mexico.
The chihuahua (Mexico) Enterprise
reports the discovery of some remark
able ancient ruins on ahill or mountain
four leagues south of Magdalena, in
Sonora. The hill is about 700 feet high. !.
and half way up there is layer Of
gypsum, which is as white as snow, and
may be cut into any conceivable shape,
yet sufficiently hard to retain its shape
after being cut In this layer of stone
are cut hundreds upon hundreds OF
rooms from 6x10 to 16x1S feet square.
So even and true are the walls, floor
and ceiling, so plumb and level as tn
defy variation. There are no windows
in the rooms and but one entrance,
which is Always from the top. Tho
rooms are but eight feet high from floor
to ceiling, the stone is so white that il,
seems almost transparent, and the rooms
are not at all dark. On tho walls Of
these rooms are numerous hieroglyph
les and representations of human beings
cut in stone in different places; but,
strange to say, all the hands have five
fingers and thumb, and the feet have
six toes. Charcoal is found on the
floor of many of the rooms; implement,
of every description are to be found

improvements by Which Photographs
May Be Taken In the Dark.
Captain w. de Wyceleslie Abney,
Royal Engineers, F. r. S., has made re-
markable discoveries in photography,
and much of the recent progress in the
art has been due to him. Captain Alb
ney paid special attention to photo
graphs of the solar spectrum, and had
some remarkably good results. In try
ing different chemicals in preparing his
plate and developing it he discovered a
combination which proved sensitive to
the heat rays in the spectrum, which are
not visible to the naked eye and are To-
Gated beyond the red of the spectrum.
This discovery is based on the theory
that heat and light are the same thing,
and was a further argument in support
of that theory. To illustrate: Radiant
heat is light if we could only see it
with the eye, and not merely discern
with the mind, as we do, that it is per-
fectly continuous in quality with the
species of radiant heat which we see
with the natural eye through its affecting
the retina with the sense of light. Thus,
a white-hot poker in room perfectly
brilliant white light, gradually becom-
ing reddish and less bright until it abb
solutely fades from vision in dull red
glow. Long after it has ceased to be
visible to the eye, the fact that heat is
being radated from it is proven by our
senses. There is a continuity through
out the process, in the first part of which
the radiant heat is visible, and in the
l., -
We may suppose, however, since we
have plenty of illustrations in the ami
NAL kingdom of eyes more sensitive in
darkness than the human one, that some
of them, say the cats, for example, can
see the poker long after it has become
invisible to the human one.
This gave Captain Abney his idea, and
since the camera is an artificial eye, he
argued that some plates might be OBJ
tanned which would be more sensitive to
the heat rays than the ordinary photo
graphic plate, which appreciates light
only. Captain Abney experimental on
the spectrum, as being the most con-
venient method, and after innumerable
attempts found that the sensitiveness of
a plate coated with a special form OF sill
yer bromide, called by him green sill
yer bromide, in collodion, and developed
by ferrous oxalate, extended far into the
invisible part of the spectrum. He ac-
cordingly prepared plate, and. per-
forming the simple experiment with the
poker mentioned above, he exposed the
plate at the instant the iron became
invisible to his eye. After a long ex-
posure he developed his plate and OBJ
tanned an excellent photograph of the
invisible poker He then varied the ex-
pertinent by taking as an object tea
kettle of water, the temperance of which
was gradually raised. His results in
this case were still better, and he OBJ
