Soap.

A caution against using soap in pub
lie places. An expert in soap says
that he has found soap of really supe-
rior quality in only two hotels in New
York. The charge is made that hotel
proprietors commonly buy cheap cas-
tile and poor cotton seed oil soaps by
the hundred bars and cut them into
convenient cakes. These soaps cleanse
well and are generally free from
coarse perfumes and poisonous color
ing matters, but they are poorly made
and are strongly alkaline, so that they
eat into the pores and attack the
glands and the oil they contain.
But there are soaps worse yet.
They are made from rancid vegetable
oils and half-decomposed animal fats
with impure alkalis, in the cheapest
manner possible. Brilliant dyes and
tue rankest essential oils cover up
poor workmanship and foul materials.
Some of these soaps, if rubbed on the
face, and the material allowed to re-
main for ten minutes or so, will make
numerous red points which will last a
day. Women with fine compilations
and sensitive skins can ruin their ap-
pearance with sucn soap; while the
effect on babies may be to make pain
full eruptions and eventually running
sores.
In public wash rooms is seen soap
that is so poorly made that little use
makes it become pulpy or sticky. In
this condition, in addition to the harm
already mentioned, it may convey
disease germs. From person suffer
ing with some bloody disease showing
itself in skin disorders, it will remove
and retain pieces of diseased matter,
and the next person who uses the soap
may be inoculated by them. The one
safe way for the traveller to do is to
take his own soap with him and to buy
only the best.-GoOd Housekeeping.

An Engraving Machine.

With the invention of the pantograph
many easy methods of drawing and re-
producing linework became possible,
and a new adaptation is in the form
of an engraving machine, capable of
copying on metals, ivory, and glass,
whether they be of fiat, beveled, or
cylindrical surfaces.
In this machine the style is guided
by the right hand of the operator,
while the left hand regulates the depth
or lightness of the cut, or keep it con-
stant at will. The cutter runs at a
high rate of speed, and the section of
the cut may be of any form nodded,
semi-circular, beveled, rectangular,
or even dovetailed.
For purposes of engraving or finish
ing brass work, simple fiat double
edged drill gives clean, brilliant cut
free from burr, which may be left
either bright or colored by suitable
solutions as wanted. When it is de-
sired to NIL the cut with wax long,
pointed drill is used, which gives a
cut witt steep sides and leaves the bot
tom of the cut sufficiently rough to
hold the wax. Lines are worked bv q
simple point tool in the cutter spindle,
the style being moved along liked
straight guides, and all lettering may
be done at the same setting of the ma
chine.
The machine was originally invent
ed by firm i'll Leicester, England,
for engraving figures and letters on
lenses and other scientific instru-
ments, but its undoubted capacity has
been adapted to a great variety of
work, including name-plate engrav-
ing, embossing seals, dies, aud molds,
marking and numbering instru-
ments and tools, dividing and engrav-
ing dials, scales for cages, and meas
uring Instruments.
The machine is also equal to the
performance of engine turning and
profile work, and, by the use of suita-
BILE milling tools in conjunction with
the dividing apparatus, wheel cutting
and similar work may be executed.
The engraving, of course, is not of the
same size as the pattern, and the
drawing may be varied from one
fourth to one-sixteenth of that of the
copy. StatiOner.

Origin of Artesian Wells.

The sedimentary rocks, in their
great thickness, inclose a succession
of watersheds or water-levels oc-
cupying distinct stages, and extend
ing, with uniform characters, under
whole countries, like the strata to
which they were subordinated. 1t is
proper to remark here that by the
term watershed is not meant a real
bed of water, lodged in a cavity, be-
tween solid masses that serve as walls
to it, but water filling the minute in
terstices or the cracks of a rock. Con-
tinuous and regular in sand, these
sheets are usually discontinuous and
irregular in Gmestones, in which the
water only occupies more or less spa
cious assures. When natural issues
are wanting, human industry is able,
by boring, to make openings down to
the subterranean waters, which it
causes to jet up to the surface, and
sometimes to a considerable height
above. The thought of undertaking
such works is very ancient one.
The Egyptians had recourse to it forty
centuries ago; and they were executed
in France, in 1926, at Artois, whence
the name of artesian wells has been
given to them.
The water-levels of the cretaceous
strata, from which the French artesian
waters issue, are not always of advan-
tage; but in the north of France and in
Belgium they constitute the most for
midable obstacle which miners have to
encounter in reaching the cOal-beds.
A striking confirmation of the theory
of the source of supply of the artesian
waters has been observed at Tours,
where the water, spOuting with great
velocity from a we'll a hundred and
ten metres in depth, brings up, to-
gsther with fine sand, fresh-water
shells and seeds, in such state OF
preservation as to show that they
could not have been more than three
or four months on their voyage. Some
of the wells of the wady Rir have also
elected fresh-water mullusks, fish, and
crabs, still living, which must, there.

transit.-Professor g. Il. DGabree, ia

The Intense Egotism of Victor Hugo.

On her first visit to Paris, just pre-
vious to coming to this country, Nine.
Modjeska attended a reception at
which Hugo was one of the guests.
The actress and author were intro
duced aud conversation followed.
From discussion of the struggles for
independence of the poets La Belle
France" and the artists Fair Land of
Poland" the talk drifted to art, litera-
ture and the stage. After some dis
cussion of the merits of different cele-
brated actors, Hugo suddenly asked
Modieska in whose dramatic works she
most enjoyed playing. The lady. sup
posing that so great man as Hugo
would certainly want a truthful reply
to his question, and without the least
suspicion that he could harbor feel
ing of jealousy toward the dead,
promptly answered, Shakespeare.
The hitherto genial poet was in
stantly transformed to a human ice
berg, and excusing himself almost
rudely left the lady, and during the
rest of the evening studiously avoided
her. Il never suspected" said Mod
jeska, in telling the story afterwards,
''that Hugo's egotism was sufficiently
developed to make him look upon him
self as rival to the immortal Shaks-
peare, but that was certainly what was
the matter with him.

The Dynamite Air-Gun.

While the possibilities of firing from
ordinary cannon projectiles contain
ing small amounts of dynamite have
been revived in public interest by the
recent experiments at Sandy Hook,
board of naval officers, appointed by
Secretary Whitney to examine and re-
port upon the pneumatic dynamite
gun to be used in the new cruiser, has
given an encouraging account of that
invention.
The first element they note in this
novel device is its accuracy. This is
the result of the perfection to which
the inventors have brought the control
of compressed air at high pressures,
so that they are able to slightly
increase or diminish the range of a
shot. or even to exactly duplicate it.
Then, as to the amount of dynamite,
it is certain that the stipulated guam
tity of 200 pounds can be fired with
perfect safety, and that the possibili-
ties in this respect seem to be only
limited by the size of the gun con-
structed.
Another important matter is the
cheapnsss with which the gun can be
built as compared with ordinary
weapons of an equal calibre. 1t can
also be constructed with great rapid
ity, whereas a powder gun may re-
quire years for completion York

There was once a mechanic at Bris-
tol, England, who had queer dream.
Watts was his name, and he was by
trade a shot maker. The making of
the little leaden pellets was then
slow, laborious and, consequently,
costly process. Watts had to take
great bars of lead and pound them out
into sheets of thickness about equal
to the diameter of the shot he desired
to make. Then he cut the sheets into
little cubes, which he placed in re-
volving barrel or box and rolled until
the edges wore off from the constant
friction and the little cubes became
spheroids.
Watts had often racked his brain
trying to devise o better scheme, but
in vain. Finally, after an evening
spent with some jolly companions at
the alehouse he went home and turned
into bed. He soon fell into a deep
slumber, but tho liquor evidently did
not agree with him for he had a bad
dream. He thought he was out again
with the boys" They were all try
ing to find their way homo when it
began to rain shot. Beautiful glob-
ules Of lead, polished and shining fell
in q torrent and compelled him and
his bibulous companions TO draw their
heavy limbs to place of shelter.
In the morning, when Watts arose,
he remembered the dream. He thought
about it all day, and wondered what
shape molten lead would take in fall
ing distance through the air. At
last, when he could rest no longer, ne
carried ladleful of tho hot metal up
into the steeple of the church of St
Mary, of Radcliffe, and dropped it
into the moat below Descending, he
took from the bottom of the shallow
pool several Landfuls of perfect shot,
far superior to any he had ever seen.
Watts fortune was made, for he had
conceived the idea of the shot tower
which has ever since been the only
means employed in the manufacture
of the little missiles so much used in
war and sport. Chicago Mail.

The republican platform last made
has silver plank abiding to the al
legged efforts of the democratic party
to demonetize silver and promising
that the republicans will see that it is
"no longer demonetized." What this
means or whether it means anything
will be known later. 1t is presumable
that the republicans will take good
care if there is any demonetizing to be
done it will not be done by the demo.
Gratis. Such tender solicitude will
prompt the eastern republicans to
put silver out of reach if they can.

Importance of Recording Deeds.

Due record of deeds is matter of
vast importance in transfers, even
though deed be perfectly good with
out record against the grantor himself
and his heirs" and although "a deed
not recorded is just as good as if it had
been recorded against any parties or the
heirs of any parties who took the land
from the grantor by subsequent decd,
even fc.' full price, if they had at the
time notice or knowledge Of the prior
and unrecorded deed" Neglect of
registration is a fruitful cause of ex-
pensive worry and litigation. Regis
tered judgments, heirs unexpectedly
turning up, mortgages whose satisfao-
ton has not been recorded, rights of
dover and courtesy, both of which
conveyanocn would gladly abolish in
order TO facilitate transfers, are diffi-
culties in the way of undisputed title.
Equity ultimately decides in courts of
law who is entitled to possession, but
due precaution in search and record
would, in most instances, nullify the
need of resort to it. All titles are
cleared by sale under judicial decree,
