easily can afford to
squander it, but not so
with the laboring man.

The "Echo. Maker"

Another device which may be called
the echo-maker, that of Mr.. De la
Tore, has been examine by board OF
naval officers, of which Commander
Bainbridge Hof United Stts Navy
was the head, and report was made to
the Navy Department Of somewhat
favorable nature. 1t may consist of a
flaring funnel screwed on the muzzlc OF
a riff. 1t is operated by firing the rifle
in the direction OF the supposed obsta-
Gle, such as a rock, an iceberg, another
ship or a cliff. If the obstlclo is there,
the beam Of sound projected through
the funnel strikes the obstacle and re-
bounds; and as the echo is more or less
perfect in proportion as tho obstacle is
more or less parallel to tho ship from
which the qua is fired, and as it is near
or remote, the position Of the obstacle
may thus be inferred. Tho board re-
ported that De Ia Torro method was
firing a blank cartridge from rifle
in the presence of objects as small as
spar-buoy and as largo as a
fort, and catching the r.tura sound or
echo He claims that a sharp sound
projected at or nearly at an object.
and only when so directed, viii in
every case return some Of the sound sent,
so that theoretically there will always
be an echo, and the difference in the
time between the souad sent and the
echo will indicate the rcmotencss Of the
obj Ct. The board found that a return
sound could be heard from the side OF a

How Ink Is Made.

Ink IS variously composed, according
to the purposes to which it is to be ap-
piled. Common writing ink IS the per-
tannate of iron, mixed with little gall
late, held in suspension il water by
means Of gum or some other adherinz
substance. Tho gum also preserves tho
ink from being too fui9 and also serves
to protect the vegetable matter from de-
composition.
Blue ink has of late years been much
IN demand. The coloring matter is
said to be sulphato of indigo and tinct-
urc Of iron, or, according to another
recipe, Prussian blue dissolved in water
by means Of oxalic acid. Red ink is
usually made by boiling in the proper
tion of two ouaces of BraziI wood in a
pint of water for about quarter Of an
hour, and adding little gum and
water This ink is not in demand now,

bites into the paper, so as not to be re-

is in the want of durability. Such ink

this character; it is formed Of lampblack

"He is very ill, Lucy"
That night was long and hard one
for the friends of the sick man. But at
Ihawn, to the relief of all. the physicians
Breneunced him out Of danger
W The morning sunshine found Lucy
pallid and exhausted. She was greatly
unnerved. They begged her to go to
sleep, but she could not rest Her eyes
were heavy, her lips pale, her hands hot.
She carried some spring water cool and
sparkling, to her room, wet her throb-
bing temples and her thick rich hair, the
weight of which oppressed her aching
head.
While engaged in this she heard a
knock at the door. Hurriedly coiing
up her bright hair, she went down. Tho
door was open. She did not approach
it, for, standing full ia the sunshine,
upon the threshold OF her home was the
tall, gaunt, detcsted figure that had
haunted her, like nightmare, for
weeks Covered with dust, his lank
hair straggIilg upon his shoulders, his
sallow hands extended, and his blood
shot eyes fixed upon her face, his ap-
pcarance was ropuIsiva, his presence
frigh full. She shrieked and ran away.
Forgetting the invalid, sho had
slammed the sitting room door behind
her. when she heard her name gently

Miss Burton delivered the note, but

will be consumed in cutting out station
in the shaft on the tunnel level The
contractors will then commence to drive
the tunnel in the distance of 200 feet, as
stated in our last issue. A number of
small improvements of various kinds will
occupy the force now employed until the
hoist arrives. Perhaps Is or % feet ad-
dit1onal will be sunk by windlass. The
roads to the mine are all in good con-

in getting the hoist to the ground.
During the week the mine was ex-

Prof. J. A. Clayton, who exported the
Granite, Drum Lummon, Alice and other

the mine will soon be made public for the
