Ihouqh 1t is claimed as one Of the
advantages of electricity that 1t does
not raise the temperature of the atmos-

nevertheless, says La Nature, capable,
under certain conditions, of evolving
heat. This property is about to be
turned to profitable account by the So

A Datent has been recently granted |

A patent has been recently granted
to Mr. VIM II. Brown of Jersey CITY
for novel process of manufacturing
continuous tin plates. The plates In
question are made of steel, and The
process consists in producing sheet
of steel or any continuous length and
of required width by iirst rolling the
metal hot and afterward rolling it
cold until proper thickness and per-
fectly smooth surface is obtained.
Next the surface of the sheet Is
secured, and then 1t is afterward passed
through bath of molted tin, thus re-
ceiving Its coating. Finally the sheet
is subjected to a rolling operation
under heavy pressure between highly
polished rolls, by which the tin and
steel are condensed and consolidated
together and the surface hardened AMI
polished. The inventor states that by
this method the tin will be found 10
be so hardened upon and incorporated
with the steel as to produce a tin
plate which is superior in most res
poets 10 any tin plate wherever pro-
duced.

WHAT DIAMONDS ARE.

The exact mode Of formation Of di-
Almonds is one Of natures secrets, for
though scientists have been able 10
understand the chemical nature OF the
diamond by analysis, the reverse pro-
cess, its manufacture. has thus far
been beyond their skill We know
what a diamond is, but how nature
makes it the careful dame has not yet
permitted us TO learn. The diamond
is OF the simplest chemical compost
ton, being pure carbon. Charcoal Is
pure carbon also, but the secret pro-
cess by which nature resrranges the
atoms Of the black, lustreless char
coal into the form OF the flashing dia-
mond, the most perfect specimen Of
matter, is one that even long hope on
the part Of scientists, stimulated by
the honor Of great gains. has not been
able TO discover. Nor is it certainly
known from what department nature
takes the diamond making material
Ii is generally supposed that 1t Is fur
nished by vegetable charcoal, which
undergoes peculiar process Of de-
composition and erystaIization, but it
has also been conjectureG that the car
bonic acid, shut up from remote periods
Of the calcareous rocks, may have sol
idified in this perfect form. Sir David
Brewster, from study of the polari-
zation of light in the minute particles
OF the diamond, has concluded that
the substance was once in a soft state,
and by the action Of an expanding gas
or fluid within its very small cavities,
which reflect the light to such very
remarkable degree are formed He
regards il as certain that the original
softness Of the diamond was not caused
by either solvents or heat, and there
fore concludes that the diamond, like
amber, is a vegetable substance slow
ly crystalized into its present form.

GREEN GEORGIA GIRLS.

A few days ago, in the new town OF
Rochelle on the Americus, Preston &
Lumpkin, a farmer walked up to the
station, leading a young steer by a
rope attached to his horns, which
steer was drawing n two wheel cart,
and in the cart sat an old lady and two
buxom young girls. They, the girls,
says the Americus (Ga-) Republican,
had never seen a railroad. and had
come down on the quiet Sabbath morn
10 see the monster for the first time
After driving the steer and cart over
the road, the old man drove up by the
side of the track few feet and halt
ed. Just then the whistle OF the en-
gine was heard as it approached the
station, and the rumbling sound was
heard for the first time by the two
girls. They both jumped up "a the
steaming, shrieking engine came
rushing into view. while Buck threw
up his horns and began to back.
The old man yelled: Whoa, Buck"
while the old woman said: "Sot still,
Victoria Elizabeth, you and Josephine
Boarnegus, il amt er gwine ter hurt
yer. Me and Yer pap has rid on keers,'
and she caught hold of the dress OF
each one; but the engine gave anoth-
er shrek and seemed 10 be dashing
straight OF them. Both girls jumped
out, one on either side of the cart
while Buck gave a snort and started
of at full tilt. Pap held on TO the
rope and was jerked along at the rate
of twenty miles an hour, hollering:
Whoa, Buck. yer fool il won't hurt
yer" while the old woman was spilled
in terrible mixed up state with her
clothing. calling first TO the one girl
and then the other Victoria Eliza
beth, yo' and Josephine Boarnegus
stop there. ther thing can't run OF
the track
But her entreaty was i'm vain; the
girls heard her. but believed their sal
walton was in flight, and they ran
about as fast as Buck, while the old
woman picked herself up and started
after Victory" Josephine was going
at lightning speed, and approaching
fence, leaped over like deer, but
her dress caught on stake, and there
was tearing sound, but no stop, she
went flying over the field like a racer,
while her skirts flew to the breeze like
n banner OF defiance.
The old woman with some help
caught Victoria, while the old man
ran Buck into the corner Of u fence
and soon had him securely tied; but
Josephine had good half-mile start
when the old man went In persuit
saying Gosh, how that leetle orecter
can hop. I'll have ter be mighty spry
to cotch her in ten miles o. here
And he put out like quarter horse.
The old woman and two other parties
were holding Victoria Elizabeth when
the train moved of, but we have not
heard whether the old man ever
caught up with Josephine Boarne-
gus or not.

TWO COYOTE STORIES.

4 farmer up Ia the Capay valley has
just made the champion slaughter Of
coyotes, writes San Francisco cores
pondent. These sninals are \ great
pest to the sheep owners, and, though
extremely hard TO catch or kill, make
serious inroads upon the flocks. The
sheep owners have offered reward
OF S20 per coyote scalp, and Frank
Hambleton, the farmer In question,
has just pocketed in bounties $500,
the result OF one ingenious bit OF
work.
He had long straw-stack on his
farm, which had been standing for
several years He noticed not long
ago that a good many holes had been
made in IL, and that coyotes were
quite numerous around IL at night.
So one evening he set fire TO IL. and
hid near by to watch developments.
The straw was 20 damp from recent
rains that the fire did not get TO the
inside OF the stack until after dark,
and good many Of the beasts had
smelled danger and escaped. But as
II was, he raked out Of the ashes the
carcasses OF forty coyotes, old and
young, that had been burned TO
death.
Another coyote story II from a stock
man, who has on his cattle ranch a
pair Of superb stagbounds which he
brought from Scotland, from their
native kennel at the foot Of Ben
Nevis. They are wonderfully docile
and intelligent, fleet a. the wind and
possess n marvellous amount OF
strength and endurance. The wolf
they consider n foe worthy OF their
skill. and whenever they find one
enter into a contest from which they
soon come victorious But they seem
to consider the coyote an animal 40
despicable "a to he worth only the
most coDtemptuous notice. For one
10 appear within their sight Il TO bring
swift punishment upon itself But
the noble hounds feel 10 much con-
tempt for the animal that they will
not take its despicable life. They
always bite of it's tail close TO It's
rump or pull it out by the roots, and
having thus set the mark Of their dis
dain upon Mr. Coyte, they let him go.
while they carry home the tail as
their trophy Of the chase. To such
an extent have they carried on this
contemptuous warfare against the
coyote race that their owners ranch
is strewn with caudal appendages,
and bobtail coyotes are the rule.

BEAUTIFUL GRANDMAMA.

Grandmama sits in her quaint arm chair,
Never was lady more sweet and fair.
Her gray locks ripple like silver shells
And her brow its own calm story tells
OF a gentle life and peaceful even,
A trust in God and hope in Heaven.
Little girl May sits rocking away
In her own low seat, like some winsome fay;
Two doll babies her kisses share,
And another one lies by the side of her chair.
May is as fresh as the morning dew,
Cheeks of roses and ribbons OF blue.
"Grandmama." says the pretty elf,
Tell me story about yourself
When you were little. What did you play?
Were you good or naughty thewholelong daT?
Was II hundreds and hundreds OF years ago?
And what makes your soft hair as white as
snow?
"Did you have mama 10 hug and kiss?
And a dolly like this, and this, and this?
Did you have pussy like my little Kate?
Did you go 10 bed when the clock struck
eight?
Did you have long curls, and beads like mine?
And new silk apron with ribbon fne?"
Grandmama smiled at the little maid,
And, laying aside her knitting, said,
go TO my desk and red box you'll see,
Carefully lift II and bring 1t TO me-"
So May put her dollies away and ran,
Saying, 'I'il be as careful as ever can
Then Grandmama opened the box, and 10!
A beautiful child, with throat like snow,
Lips Just tinted like pink shells rare,
Eyes of hazel, and golden hair,
Hands all dimpled, and teeth like pearls.
Fairest and sweetest of little girls.
"Oh who is 2" cried winsome May;
How wish she was here to-day.
Wouldn't l love her like everything
Give her a doll and new gold ring
Say, dear Grandmama who can it be-"
Darling" said Grandmama, "that child was
me-"
May looked long at the dimpled grace,
And then at the saint-like, fair old fabe.
"How funny she said, with smile and kiss,
ITO have such a dear little Grandma as this :;
STILL" she added, with smiling zest,
~ think, Grandmama. | like you best"
So May clambered on the silken knee,
And Grandmama told her her history.
What plays she played, and what toys she had.
How at times she was naughty, good or bad.
"But the best thing you did, >" said May. don't
you see,
Was to grow into beautiful Grandma for
me-"

CEN HARNEYARO HIS THEE MESSENGERS.

The following story is told Of Gen
eral Harvey, when he was in command
at Camp Verde, Tex. He was an in
tensely dignilied officer, and if there
was one thing he detested more than
another it was undignitied haste One
evening, just as he was about TO hold "A
dress parade, he perceived he had for
gotten his handkerchief, and as the
weather was very hot, he said TO his
orderly:
go to my quarters quick and bring
my handkerchief
The orderly touched his cap and
started for the quarters, several hun
dred yards distant After he had pro-
ceeded short distance, remembering
that there was no time 10 lose, he
broke into trot.
See that id scoundrel running
as if the Indians were after him. II
there is anything | hate it is to see n
soldier running instead Of marching
properly Here, my man, continued
Harney to another soldier, "go after
that man and tell him to walk, d
him.
The second soldier started after the
first, but as the first kept on running
the second one saw his only chance TO
deliver the message was to hurry up,
so he, too, broke into a run. To say
that Harney swore is TO use a mild ex-
preston.
Here, Sergeant, go after that man
and tell him il he don't stop running
I'll hang him up by his thumbs"
The Sergeant started out on brisk
walk. but as his predecessor had n
good start, he, too, began to run as
hard as he could.
IF all the three scoundrels amt
RAINING like jack rabbits calculated
Harney. I'll show EN-" and tuck
ing his sword under his arm he started
in pursuit as fast as he could run, but
suddenly remembering his dignity he
came TO halt and walked stifiiy back
to the place where the dress parade
was to come off.-Tezds Sytings.

-T0P-H0T CONE DOWN. .

Some wears ago il was fas ,ionable
for gentlemen to roach" their hair In
front. and in the rural districts" this
roach" was called 'top-knot a
certain local preacher Of the hard
SHELF persuasion conceived a great
dislike 10 this style of wearing the
hair. and gave notice that on a GER
tain Sunday he would preach against
this prevailing fashion. Accordingly
at the time appointed very large con
gregation assembled TO hear what he
had 10 say on the subject. He as
cended the pulpit, and, after the usu-
al devotional exercises, announced
that his text could be found in the
twenty-fourth chapter of the Gospel
by Saint Matthew, part Of the seven
teenth verse, and was in the following
words:
Top not come down.
He then launched out into "A violent
denunciation OF the Objectionable
stvle, which he declared 10 be an in
vention of the devil, and expressly
condemned by Christ in the words OF
the text, Top not come down.
Before he concluded his sermon ev-
cry man in the congregation had
smoothed down his front hair with his
hands. but when the audience was
dismissed some of them consregated
around the preacher and asked him
TO show them that remarkable text in
his Bible, as they had no recollection
of ever having seen or heard 1t be-
fore, though they had read the entire
Gospel by Saint Matthew time and
again. He said il was there neverthe-
less, and promptly turned TO the chap
ter and verse above mentioned, and
which was found 10 read "a follows:
- Let him which is on the house top
not come dolcn 70 take anything out Of
the house"
Sure enough the words were there,
but the preacher had made "A most re-
markable and unjustifiable applica-
ton of them, and by separating them
from the context, had given them n
meaning never dreamed OF before.
