Misantllropic wills.

The Vienna papers publish the will
Of h1lf-paY Austrian officer, which has
created considerable amusement. He
leaves his fortune to his nephew, who
has a situation in the postotiice, on con
dition that he shall never. on any oc-
casion, indulge in his favorite occupa-
ton of reading newspapers. The old
gentleman institutes three persons his
trustees. whose duty it shall be tn
watch his luckless heir, and. in case Of
a single infringement of the will, dis
poses of his property to other members
Of his family. The said property con
sists of two houses, money in the funds
and a landed estate.

The extensive garnet lodges at Fort
Wrangell are an ineAhaustible source OF
beautiful and ornamental curiusities
The cropping of the ledge is about ten
feet wide, standing perpendicularly and
running northeast and southwest several
miles in length; the depth of it no man
has ever found out. The rock is of a
mica slate formation, and contains from
two to four dozen garncts 10 the cubic
foot. The gems are regular polygons,
beautiful in color, aud when fresh from
the mines have 4 dashing and brilliant
lustre; but when exposed for time they
become dull ard Opaque. The crystal
varies in dimensions from the size of Il
pea 10 that Of a hens egg, and to the
novice are quite fascinating and have the
appearance Of much value for ornament
al and other purposes. The lap diaries,
however, have failed to utilize them for
any purpose whatever, except as a curio
and to demonstrate the certainty of the
unerung law Of Nature which governs
every phenomenon. Every plain of the
polygon Is Of the same form every
ANGLE Of the same degree, and every gem
Is the equal and ike of its fellow. The
mining and shipment of this rock has
become quite It business. 1t is worth
S2n per ton on the wharf at Fort Wran-
CELL. and is shipped to all parts of the
country to fill the cabinets of the
wealthy, and the collections in public in
st!tutioas. -DetroH Free Pres.

Odd Names.

There are many English names rs
markable for their oddity. Many of them
it would be hard to classify, or to form
any idea of their origin. Many years ago
the following INST was taken from news
paper giving an account of political
meeting in a suburb of Philadelphia
Most of them would seem like fictitious
names made up for some humorous story:
Adam Dialogue, Jacob Juvenal, Jacob
Hollowbush, David Barndollar, John
Hoggerbetz, Anthony Able, George
Llmeburner, Peter Fetters, John Perken-
pine, Peter Linensheets, John Dicken-
sheets, Bar7elai lick, Frederick Ever
back, Nelson Swallow, Solomon Sell,
George Crock, Jacob Iightcap. John
Winpenny, John Rodenpillar, Samuel V.
Rex, Jacob Sauserman, Richard Slaugh-
ter, Samuel Haycock.
The following Is miscellaneous seleo-
ton: Preserved Fish, Christian Grumb-
ling, Sylvanus ShuhebU,tom, William
Sheepshanks. 1t is told OF the two gentle
men wearing the last two names, happen
ing to meet in common friends house,
who introduced them to each other say
ing; "lIr. Sheepshanks, Mr.. Shuttle
hottom-Mr. shuifiebottom, Mr.. Sheep
sanks, each seemed to notice the oddly
OF the others name, and thought that
their friend was jesting, and one Of them
CURLY asked; DO you intend to insult
usf"
In Philadelphia, fifty years ago, there
were two distinguished physicians, with
the characteristic names lhysic and
Hartshorne, aud later, dentist 10y the
name Toothaker. Among the California
teachers there was one by the name
Rattan, name not as properly appIeci-
ated now as it would have been fifty or
sixty years ago, when the rattan was
the schoolmaster's sceDtre, and the boys
got a rattaning for mischief or negli-
gence
&Not many years ago there were in
Boston, New York and Philadelphia
four eminent Unitarian clergymen, by
the names Bellows, Furuess, Sparks and
Burnap. These fiery and suggestive
names, were, in this case, very inappro-
PIRATE, as none of them were believers
in Gehenna, and all of them with char
acters the opposite of their names.
Not long ago there was a sign in St
Louis bearing the inscription: "Swindler,
Dealer in Real Estate, a name which
might have deferred a superstitious
person from investing his money with
one whose character might accord with
his name.- Chicago Current.

The Marching of Armies.

The best examples Of forced marches
IN modern times are. perhaps, those per
formed by Havelock and Lord Clyde in
the Indian mutiny Of 1896.
Perhaps the finest examples in all
history Of strategic marches are found in
Na9oleon's campaigns in Italy in 1886
and the campaign on The Danube in
l-O5.
During the Civil War the march of
the second Army Corps, October ~,

Rolled Wrought Iron Chains.

The process some time since announced
of rolling out chains of wrought iron
from the solid bar has, with certain i'm
provements, been successfully resorted to
the principle of forming the rollers
and the process of rolling out chain
being in this case similar in some re-
spects to the method employed for cast
ing the links and having them come out
together in chain from mold. In the
latter operation the flask Is made to part
equally in four ways, and the chain mold
ed while the links are separated so as to
divide the space equally between them,
giving as little clearness as possible,
which will not change their appearance
perceptibly-the flask is divided, the
chain is removed, and one is cast in the
mold. Similarly, a piece of chain is
swedged out of bar of iron in an analo-
gous manner by means of four converg-
ing dies. Thus, in producing continu-
GUS chain in this way, the dies are made
continuous by having them formed on
the circumference of four rollers arranged
with dies distributed in equal divisions,
and the rollers driven by gear wheels, so
that the four parts of link will meet
accurately in place; proper clearance is
given to the dies so as'to allow the ma
terial to leave the matrix freely as the
roller revolveS. AS the blank is carried
forward between the rollers the dies
partially press or swedge out the links
at right angles to each other, breaking
the fin or feather edge that is left on the
inside of the link. Mining and Scientific

The PantShen Lama.

The selection of the Pantshen lama,
whose headquarters are at the monastery
of Krashis Lunpo in Further Thibet, and
who has shared the overlordship of
Thlbet with the Dalai lama since the
fifteenth century, took place at Lhassa,
recently. The ceremony is, perhaps, the
strangest revival in the ritual of any
church. 1t was an old idea with the
northern Buddhists that distinguished
members of their order were incarnations
of divine beings, who, while continuing
to live in heaven, had the power to as
aume an earthly existence. This belief
is still held regarding the pontiff of
Gedun Dubpa and Krashis Lunpo, the
one being looked on as the incarnation
of the third person in the Trim ty, of
which the great teacher is the head, and
the other that of the second person in
the same. Accordingly, when either
of the pontiffs dies, as the Pant
shen lama did some time ago, the
other has to set to work and discover
wherein the celestial spirit has embodied
himself anew. The first step is to get
the names of all the male children born
Just after the death of the deceased lama,
and to select three from these, one Of
which, cast by lot, is the name of the new
incarnation. About the beginning of
the year the Chinese Resident at Lhassa
was informed that three "young boys of
remarkable intelligence and strangeness'
had been found, and after some time
spent in communicating with Pekin, the
youngsters were brought to Lhassa and
preparations made for the grand cere-
mony. All the abbots of the great mon
asteries were present to supervise the
week of prayer; the three children were
received by the Resident and the Thibe-
tan authorities Gin order that their in
telligence and difference from other per
sons might be tested" and finally on an
auspicious day golden vase containing
the fate of the boys having been brought
in and placed in front of the emperor s
image which stands in the hall at 6 edun
Dubpa, the lot was drawn and the elect
of the three hailed as Amitabba incar-
nate, the Pantshen Rinpotshe, "Glorious
Teacher" henceforth to rule over half
Thibet.
