by forty editors, and over 1000 renowned con-
tributors. 1t is in eight convenient sized vol

or his son or daughter just entering the arena
Of life anything that will be of more permanent
benefit. 1t is an education supplementary to

Whale Boats.

IN answer to several enquiries con-
l. corning Whale Boat Frames, we
have now in course of construction,
Whale Boat Frames "a feet by 80 feet
long. These frames are bent in one
piece of oak, and held to shape, thus
requiring little tact to set them up and
build. The full frame for such boats,
including cants, 40 sections in number,
is sold at $2s; with large stems on keel,
and ready to plank $40. They are not
intended to be clinker built, nor as the
frail imported whale boats proper, but
are intended for rough use and durabi-
lily, yet light withal, for fishing and
trading purposes. We have exported
these frames and intend dong so, and
make this offer to amateurs and others
DESTROYS of trying their hand, with
plenty of leisure and small cash to make
a business. Will bend frames to any
given model from to 90 tons. Also on

SMALLEST screws " She World.

The smallest screw. in the world are
made in witch factory. There can BIO
no doubling that assertion on any
score. They are cut from steel wire by
machine, but as the chips fall down
from the knifc it looks as if the
operative was simply cutting up the
wire for fun. One thing is certain, no
screws can be seen, aud yet a screw IS
made every third operation.
The fourth jewel-wheel screw is tho
next thing to being invisible, and to
the naked eye it looks like dust. With
glass, however, it is seen to be small
scr,w, with 800 threads to the inch,
and with very fine glass the threads
may be seen very clearly. These little
screws are 4-1000th of an inch In diane
ter, and ths heads are double tn, size
1t is estimated that an ordinary lady's
thimble would hold 100, 600 of these
tiny little screws. About 1000, 900
of them are made month, but
no attempt is ever made to count
them. In determining the number 100 of
them are placed on very delicate bal
ance, aud the number of tho whole
amount is determined by the weight OF
these. All of the small parts of the
watch are counted in this way, probab-
ly fifty out of the 100.
After being cut the screws are hard
ened and put in frames, about one hun
drcd to tho frame, heads up. This Is
done very rapidly, but entirely by sense
OF touch Instead of sight, so that a
blind man could do 1t Just as well as
the owner OF the sharp,st eyes The
heads arc then polished in an automatic
machine, 10, 600 at time. The plate
on which they aro polished is covered
with oil and a grinding compound, and
on this the machine moves them rapidly
by reversing motion. uatil they are fully
polished. New YORK Telegram.

He then wrote something more, but re-
aimed the piece of paper in his hand after

labored, and some moments of struggle would
,ccur, alternating with spasms and great dis

the dying Emperor was seen to be waning.
AS soon as it became evident that the end
was near, the Empress caused tho royal
