THOMAS COKE OVENS.
A Valuable Invention by a Salt
Laker,

Mr. Thomas, the Well-known builder
the Chamber of Commerce a drawing
of the coke oven lately invented by him.
The workings of the machine" were
shown to HERALD reporter yesterday,
and certainly for simplicity, durability
and economy it is away ahead of any
thing in its line. 1t is constructed on
an in feline, and so arranged that when
the coal has been coked, by the raising of
door which is so nicely adjusted as to
require no effort to raise 1t, the coke
is deposited by gravity ino what
is know as the coke chamber,
from whence it is conveyed to the
cars. The oven is thirty feet long
and three feet wide, and Mr..
Thomas claims that the work now &C
complished by the old beeh;ves in thirty
cess il eighteen hours. In other words,
it will coke as much as six of the old
STYLE. By the use of the Thomas oven,
saving of rs per cent is made, and
the oven can be used for charcoal with
equal success. By a simple arrange
ment, the gas generated from the coke
is collected and conveyed to such por-
tions of the works rs u may be deemed
desirable to light. Tbs even is double
compartment, and when toe coal in one
is cooked, that in the other has just been
put in, thus making q continuous run.

How to Build an Ice House.

If plenty of sawdust is at hand the
building of cheap ice-house is an easy
matter; but in many parts of the coun-
try saw mills are almost as scarce and
far between as lakes of water, making it
impracticable to use sawdust for pack
ing. A good substitute, however, can
be found in straw, if the house is to be
constructed above ground, or if built be-
low sand and cement may take its place.
One of the best ice-houses that [ have
seen was built below the surface of the
ground, and not an ounce of sawdust
used in constructing it. 1t was built of
boards and studding, double, with a foot
space for packing. The bottom was
made of cement, which tapered to
point, where small drain was con-
structed that led the water away. A
close trap allowed the water to escape
into the drain when q certain quantity
had accumulated, but prevented the
constant escape of the cool air. Between
the double sides packing of cement-and
sand was put, which was heaped up even
with the surface of the ground. The
space above the cement was then filled
in with straw. The fact that the melt
ing of the ice always took place above
the line of the cement in this house
seemed to show that the straw did not
make as good packing as the sand and
cement. Sawdust unless carefully used
will not prove a good material for pack
ing ice-houses; but cement and sand can
be obtained by all farmers, and, when
they are properly used, they will prove
both a good protection from the heat
and be impervious to air and water,
keeping the cooled air around the Ice,
and there will be none of the up and
down motion belonging to air.

reproached herself for not caring for
the exhausted horses. But she was so
tired and cold and sleepy, that she re-
solved to lie down for minute before
she attempted to do anything. She lay
down on the small mattress and feebly
pulled the blankets over her. She
closed her eyes and nestled a little, as
though to obtain more comfort. A warm
glow pervaded her entire body and she
was mildly surprised that she could have
thought the morning was cold.
She was motionless for few minutes.
Then rare smile played around her
white lips, her eyes opened wide, she
looked through the open door, and far
to the eastward, where the rising sun
redeemed the heavens. The Kansas

Preserving Telegraph Poles.

Telegraph poles are preserved in Nor
way by making an auger hole, about an
inch in diameter, in each post, about
two feet from the ground, and pointing
down at n small angle till the centre of
the stick is reached. From four to five
ounces of sulphur of copper, in coarsely
powdered crystals, is inserted, and the
opening is stopped with q plug, which
projects so fir that it can be pulled out
to admit of replacing the charge every
three or four months. The chemical is
gradually absorbed by the wood, which,
it is said; pefmeates to the very top of
the pole, the whole outside surface as
suming greenish tint, due to the pres
ence of copper in the pores. This sim
pie means of preservation suggests the
application of the same material to other
purposes than telegraph poles.

What Are Shooting Stars!

What do we know as certain facts
with regard to shooting stars? l. They
are vastly more numerous than any one
has an idea of who has not watched
them continuously for many nights.
Astronomers who have kept record for
many years assure us that the average
number seen by one observer at one
place on clear moonless night is four
teen per hour, which is shown by calcu-
lation to be equivalent to 10000, 900
daily for the whole earth. 2. They are
not terrestrial phenomena moving In the
lower atmosphere, but celestial bodies
moving in orbits and with velocities
comparable to those of planets and
comets Their veIocities are seldom
under ten mixes 8 second or over fifty,
and average about thirty, the velocity of
the earth in its orbit round the sun be-
ing eighteen. 3. They are of various
composition, comprising both a large
majority of smaller particles which are
set on fire by the resistance of the earth's
atmosphere and entirely burned up and
resolved into vapor long before they
reach its surface, and few larger ones,
known as meteors, which are only part
ly fused or glazed by heat, and reach
the earth in the form of stony masses.
4. They are not uniformly distributed
through space, but collect in meteoric
swarms or streams, two at least of which
revolve around the sun in closed rings
which are intersected by the earth's Or
bit, causing the magnificent displays of
shooting stars which are seen in August
and November. 5. They are connected
with comets, it having been demon-
strated by Schiapareli that the orbit of
the comet of 1866 is identical with the
August swarm of meteors known as the
Perseids, and connections between
comets and meteor streams have been
found in at least three other cases. The
fact is generally believed that comets
are nothing but a condensation of mete-
orites rendered incandescent by the heat
generated by their mutual collision
when brought into close proximity. 6.
Their composition, as inferred from the
larger meteors which reach the earth, is
identical, or nearly so, with that of mat
ter brought up from great depths by vol
canic eruptions. In each case they con-
sist of two classes-One composed main
ly of native iron alloyed with nickel,
the other of stony matter, consisting
mainly of compounds of silicon and
magnesium. Most meteorites consist of
compounds of the two classes, in which
the stony parts seem to have broken in
to fragments by violent collision and be-
come imbedded III iron which has been
fused by the heat into plaster or pasty
condition. Contemporary Reo1e1O.

For Ten Years.

There is a good story, told in the
French war office, to the effect that for
ten years soldier was stationed in the
passage leading to the minister's private
apartments with orders not to let people
touch the W lis. But no one seemed to
understand why this was done. Now,
new minister with an inquisitive turn of
mind determined to find out the explana-
ton of q circumstance that his fifty pre-
decessors had never remarked. But no
one could give him any light, not even
the chief clerks, nor the subordinates
who had been in service half century.
But certain doorkeeper, an old fellow
with a good memory, recollected that
on certain occasion a soldier was
placed there because the wall had been
painted, and the minister's wife had got
a spot on her dress. The paint had
dried, but the sentinel had been left.

Foreign Potatoes.

The farmers in the Southern States,
according to prominent dealers and com
mission merchants, are being sadly vic
timized by unscrupulous men i'll the
quality of potatoes they are buying for
seed. Government estimates place the
domestic yield of potatoes at 10000, 600
bushels less than that of last year, while
the yield in England, Scotland and
other exporting countries is estimated
as much larger than that of ordinary
years. As consequence, foreign pota-
toes are coming to this market in large
quantities and are being offered at con-
siderably lower figures than domestic
productions. These foreign potatoes
are absolutely vnlueless, so experts say,
when planted as seed in this country,
and yet it is asserted that they are being
largely sold to Southern farmers for seed
ing purposes.

A Remarkable Texas Plateau.

This celebrated plateau, comprising
about ten acres, and rising sixty feet
above the surrounding prairie, and ninety
feet above the level of the sea, lies six
miles northwest of Columbia. 1t is
covered by fertile soil, with red clay
foundation, resting upon substratum
of shale, which is richly charged with
sulphate of iron, magnesia, lime, and
other salts usually found in mineral
waters emerging frCm states. This shale,
disintegrated in water and stepped, pos
sesses medicinal properties of great value.
A yet lower stratum consists of a com
pact limestone, yielding good quality
of lime. There is but little doubt that
the mound is of seismic origin. Deep
crevices abourd, penetrating, it would
seem, into the very bowels of the earth
