The largest iron casting ever attempted
in America was recently made at Bethle-
hem, Penn. i was the base for the steel
compressor to be used in the gun stee
works, and 124 tons of molten metal
were used. 1t will be some weeks before
the huge casting will be cool enough to
examine.

nor cogs, nevertheless il does the work
of several millions of horses, and this
work has for its end and effect the pres
ervation of life.
According to the English Mechanic,
very good way to anneal a small piece of
tool steel is to heat it up in forge as
slowly as possible, and then take two
fire boards and lay the hot steel between
them and screw them up in wise. AS
the steel is hot it sinks into the pieces Of
wood, and is firmly imbedded in an
almost fright charcoal bed, and when
taken out cold will be found to be nice
and soft. To repeat this will make it as
soft as could be wished.
A process has been perfected and
patented for drawing upon wood by
means of fine metallic point kept red
hot, so that the lines are actually burned
into the surface. A powerful oxyhy
drogen, or rather flame, keeps the point
always at high temperature, and yet
the apparatus is so compact that it may
be used with the ease and freedom of
pencil. 1t is furthermore, so adjusted
as to produce at will all shades of
brown, from the lightest shade to that
verging on black.

How an Artist Painted a Wagon.

Some Vesey street painters were relat-
ing their experiences the other day, when
one said:
Il took contract to paint a wagon
for fruit dealer. The dealer was very
particular and insisted that the vehicle
should be painted the exact color of an
orange. What was [ to do? [ did not
have the necessary colOrs to make that
tint, and that was not the worst of it;
did not have the money to buy them.
But painted the wagon. 1 called the
dealer in to look at it. That is not what
| ordered; that is not an orange color.
l will send you an orange so that you
can match the exact shade | want.
FThe orange came, and | confess there
was cons siderable difference. After con-
trasting the orange with the wagon and
the wagon with the orange, | came to the
conclusion that it would be easier to paint
the orange than the cart. and | had just
about paint enough left to do that. In a
few days l sent word that the job was
finished. The dealer said:
- That is not right. You don't call
that orange"
1" That is about as clear as can get it, ;
replied, and held up the orange. He
looked at the orange and then at the
wagon. They were Identical; the same
paint covered both. | had painted the
orange to match the wagon.

AbOlishing Slavery in Brazil.

The events of the past week in connec-
ton with the passage of the abolition
act have been unusually exciting in
character. There was almost no OPP
position and very little oratOry, and
every vote was attended by the abolition
societies and large numbers of spectators.
The Senate decided upon & Sunday
session to pass the bill, which was at
tended by hundreds of excided, enthus-
astic people The Princess Regent also
arranged to come down from Petropolis
on the same day to sign the bill. The
streets of the city were gay with bunting,
and the news aper Offices of Rua do
Ouvidor were elegantly decorated with
flags and flowers. Professions carrying
banners and preceded by bands of music
pa AIDED the streets, cheering our col
leagues of the press and giving vivas for
liberty, the imperial family and the
abolition leaders At o'clock P. NJ. the
Princess Regent arrived at the city
palace, where an immense crowd had
congregated to await the final act in the
abolition of Brazilian slavery The
engrossed copy of the law was signed at
g. 10 P. NJ, the Princess using a pen
richly set with diamonds, which was
provided for the occasion by a popular
subscription. Renewed vivas were given
on the announcement that the act had
become law and the crowd slowly dis
persed The streets, however, remained
full of people until late hour of the
night, torchlight professions were organ
lied, and many offices and private resid-
ences were illuminated. The whole affair
passed off with perfect order and good
temper. Rio de Ja1aeir0 Neus.

Solid Petroleum.

Experiments are being carried on in
Russia with the view of finding a pro-
cess, at once practicable as well as de-
sirable on the score of economy and
cleanliness, of solidifying the petroleum
used as fuel. According to the report
made to the Russian government by DR..
Kaufman, who has had the principal
charge of these experiments, success

per cent. of soap. The latter dissolves
in the oil, and the liquid, on cooling,
forms mass having the appearance of
cement and the hardness of compact

velops much heat, and leaves about two
per cent. of a hard, black residuum.-

King Cotton.

Though known from pre- historic
times, the use Of cotton for cloth did
not become general until after the first
successful American cultivation of the
fibre in 1890. In 1871 the worlds
yield was 400, OOo, 900 pounds, and that
of the United States 1000, 900 pounds.
Since then the American development
of the industry has been stupendous.
the present production of the United
States being six times as great as that of
the whole world a century ago, and It's
home consumption being equal to the
worlds product fifty years age. 1t has
been calculated that, with the appliances
of 1880, the manufacture of the worlds
cotton in 1896 would have occupied
about so, 900, 600 people, while it would
require 300, 600, 600 persons at the pres
Snt time. -ArkdnS01o TroCeLer

The Moorish National Kusksoo.

In diet the Moorish men are very alb
stemious, they consider much eating
vulgar They have. however, says a
correspondent of the CommereiH Adcer-
tiser, one national and universal dish,
like beans to Boston, or rice TO the
South. 1t is called by them kusksoo,
and is made of the finest part of the
wheat floor, rolled into small pellets the
size of grains, and left to dry In the
sun. For table use it is steamed over
the pot of boiling sheep or goat meat,
which is favored with onion and ami
seed, and afterward surrounds this dish
of meat when sent to the table. kusk-

and its consumption is universal. | first

eating grains of steamed barley, but

THE OLD RAIL FENCE

Let others in their songs rehearSe
The beauties they may see,
And build monument in verse:
So that it fitting be.
But will raise my voice to sing
A fact without pretence,
That much despised old-fashioned thing,
The homely old rail fence.
What would our dreams of childhood be
Without its zigzag path!
And there what flowers we used to see
Before the aftermath!
The fields are there; like grass ablaze
The firewesd faunts from thence,
But almost gone from out our gaze
We find the old rail fence.
The rapid march of progress has
Erased the landmarks old;
1t is to day thing that was,
A story that is told
The pruning knife of Time has cut,
With energy intense,
With other childhood relics, out
The honored old rail fence.
was the squirrels safe retreat;
The chipmunk's chattering oft
Made US advance with hurrying feet
Where he was perched aloft.
There Nature stored her wealth away,
And oft we carried thence
A thousand jewels in a day,
Found by the old rail fence
Arbutus, mullen, golden rod,
Felt its projecting care
And though with hands full home we trod
We had a world to spare.
Life gives, L know, so much to-day
The past to recompense,
But with sweet memories laid away
keep the old rail fence.

history has the education OF the mas

as at the present time. That is to
say, education is no longer confined

facilities are open for any one so in-

Of what is transpiring around him,
and information on any and every
subject is easy to obtain. There
have been influences at work to bring
this about, but none have figured 80

part as the ordinary newspaper, and
this has been done 30 quietly that q
good many people are not aware OF
it.
