Dia1nond-Covcrcd Boots.

4 wise man, says Spurgeon, can see
wisdom in everything, and can find in
struction in the most commonplace. OBJ
iects. Few persons would think Of look
ing for fresh knowledge in the simple
backing of a boot but it is neverthe-
less a most interesting subject.
''Did it ever occur to you," said Il
chemist, "what u remarkable and un-
iuue process the blacking Of 4 boot IS ::
You see, we smear the boot with a
preparation OF bone-black, which is en-
tirely devoid oflustre and then, by the
friction of dry brush, make it shine
like thes sun. There is rot another pro-
cess like this anywhere in the arts, so
far as I know, and I never read
anywhere any scientific explanation OF
the process. have a theory of my
own, however, which [ will give you
for what it is worth.
''The key to the mystery lies in the
fact that diamond is nothing more than
crvstallized carbon. The backing is
little more than carbon paste, and the
friction of hairbush, being one OF the
most efficient methods of generating
electricity, has the effect ofcrystalliz-
ing the carbon Of the backing. AS
soon as this is done, the boot is covered
with millions of infinitely small dia-
monds, and of course, begins to shine,
as a mass of diamonds would. OF course
this is not Il perfect explanation of the
phenomenon. What part the other i'll
gradients of the backing play, and, es-
pecially, why it is that the blacklng
must be moistened, l cannot tell per-
haps some one else can. But l feel
pretty sure that the boot-blacks are Ell
gagged in turning backing into dia-
monds.'

American Streets.

\ writer in La Nature remarks that
the streets of American cities have
been laid out with the tape-line and at
right angles. This, he observes, is very
fine from a geometrical standpoint, but
carries with it very serious consequences
from an economical point of view. In
fact, if we walk along the two sides of
a square instead of following diago-
nal the distance is increased in the pro-
portion of 10 per cent; that is to say,
instead of walking 100 feet, we walk
40. Hence a loss of time, strength,
and money. Prof. Haupt has calcu-
lated that the opening Of two diago-
nal streets in Philadelphia (S50,000 i'll
habitants) would reduce the extreme
distances by one and quarter. The
annual number of passengers carried by
the cars being l25,00O,0O0, the total
saving would reach about S1S0,000 per
mile travelled. The passengers would
gain 1866 years in time and would save
more than 100000 horse power in mo-
tive power.

Contagious Diseases.
IG. \. Collamore, NJ. d.

G. \. Collamore, NJ. d.
Scarlet fever, a contagious disease
producing large annual mortality, is
produced b.y a specific poison which
emanates from the person of the patient,
and can be caused by no other means,
and this poison is remarkable for the
teuacity with which it at1iXes itself to
objects, which, if portable, may con-
vey it long distances, and for its ten
acity Of lise, which renders it difficult
to destroy. Diphtheria, ALSO Il contagious
disease, and largely fatal, may also
arise from other causes than contaglon,
notably from fermenting filth, and re-
quires, not only isolation, but cleanll-
ness for its extinction. Typhoid fever
and .Asiatic cholera, while not directly
communicable from person to person,
are spread by the dejecta of their vic
TINS, which contaminate the water
supply, and thus an efficient disinfec-
ton of these dejecta is u very desirable
thing to accomplish. Small pox may
be exterminated by vaccination, and
his, am happy to concede, is a fact
on which the public requires less infor-
nation than most others, albeit these
are skeptics here. 1t is evident If the
public knew how diseases arise and are
disseminated, it would be prepared to
more heartily and effectually second
the endeavor of sanitarians to limit and
subdue them. In proportion to its
knowledge Of sanitation would its zeal
increase.

\ gentleman who is as intimate at
the white house, and is rs frequent
visitor at the Presidents country place
as any member Of the cabinet, and who
is in the habit Of dropping in at all
times of day and night, tells me that
the bottle has been banished. Said he:
DUE TO MRS. CLEvELAND'S INFLUENCE.
II like drink of whisky as much as
any man, and am III the habit OF taking
one whenever feel like it, although :
never drink at 4 public bar. \ year
ago, when | Went over to the white
house, | was always asked to take a
drink, and the Pres: lent usually joined
me, but he doesn't any longer. [ sent
him case of the best rye whisky l
could buy, and helped him consume it.
The other day drove out to Oakview,
and being thirsty ;::'er dusty ride, l
wanted some the w1rst way. After
waiting Il while and not receiving an
invitation to the sideboarl, concluded
to drop hint and asked the President
if his whiskey was all gone. He apol-
ogiZed for his thoughtle>sness and re-
marked that as he was not drinking
anything now himself, he did not think
to ask his friends. He rang bell, and
when the servant appeared ordered a
drink for me, but only one glass was
brought I felt little ashamed of
myself, but joked the President about
his abstinence. He said that his wife
was temperance woman, and while
lie did not see any harm in moderate
drinking himself, he had decided that
it was the proper thing to respect her
wishes and had quit. Mrs. Cleveland
was not in the house at the time, and
there was no particular reason why he
should not have joined me, but he said
that he felt just as We'll without it, and
should not drink any more. AS was
coming away he asked ME to take an
other drink, which did, but he did
not join me, and since then have not
depended upon him for stimulantswhen
I have been driving out that way. The

will at once begin active work to carry
out his ambitious project. The move

in this country but throughout
England and Scotland. Dir. Sivartha
expects that L large immigration
rom England and America will flow
into the Holy Land early III the

ious and practical. DR.. Sivartha has
worked out careful plans for rebuilding
Jerusalem with its temples, pubhc
buildings, gates, and walls in harmony
with the prophetic description OF the
Bible. The Jews proper will only form
about one-sixth of the new population,
the rest being English and Americans,
and as soon as sufficient number OF

business which requires patience and
nicely.
The different parts are made by men
who are experts in those parts, and
who do nothing else, year in and year
out.
The music is marked on the cylinder
by man who has served several Years
of apprenticeship. Another man in
sertS in the marked places pegs which
have been filed to Il uniform length.
The comb, or set Of teeth which strikes
the pegs and makes the sound, is az
ranged by man wl:0 docs nothing
else. The cylinder is then revolved, to
see that every pc" produces 4 proper
tone.
The most dellcate work Of all is the
revising Of each peg. 1t is done by Il
workman who hasa good ear forMusic.
He sees that every peg is in its proper
place, and is bent at the correct argle.
When the instrument is in its case,
an expert examines it to see that the
time is perfect.
