"Can't feller wait for his ship?"
said man with red eyes and seedy
clothes. as he steadied himself against
one of the stone posts on the sea wall
along the Battery in New York. He
addressed policeman who was watch

his ship is ready to pull out?"
Yes" F" said the officer, in a tone as
II it depended on circumstances.
Cant he linger where the waves
dash high, till the tide is right to hist
his ship over the breakwater?"
'Yes. if he's quiet about it."
''Can't the captain of a big eight
mast ship with two bow-sticks on her
rest In your park till they send the
starboard schooner to take him off?''
You are captain of Il vessel,
then?"
"Yesser, that's it. See her tied up
over there toward that 'ere big statute.
See the masts on her, and the fo'castle
sticking up'n the air like church

The ReUlGe Scientifqlte gives an ac-
count of process for depositing thin
coats Of metal upon other metals, which
has lately been introduced by Mr.. a.
Levy. The inventor dispenses entirely
with batteries and dynamOs, the new
process being based upon a double
chemical decomposition. In deposit
ing a layer of nickel upon either cop
per or iron, a solution of salt of the
metal Is prepared, preferably the acid d.
ulated chloride, and after the object
has been secured it is suspended In the
solution at the extremity of zinc wire
which partially enters the bath. The
zinc is attacked by the salt and it re-
places the nickel in the chemical con-
stitution of the solution, the object
being consequently covered with a lay
er of nickel. When this process is
employed for copper-platlng cast iron
Mr.. Levy substitutes an alkaline bath
in place of the acidulated one.

A Curious instance of poisining from
the smoke of petroleum is reported in
the Neue FIeie Presse OF Vienna. y
wOrkIngman's wife brought to a local
hospital a child eighteen months old,
who had been seized early in the morn
ing with violent commissions, and had
subsequently become unconscious She
also stated that her husband on awaken
ing, had been seized with cramps. and
an uneasy sensation in his upper and
lower eXtremities, accompanied by
headache. from which she was also
suffering. The singular color OF the
child and the results of careful exam
ination led TO the conclusion that there
had been acute poisoning from smoke
gases. 1t was then discovered that in
the small and ill-ventilated bed room
occupied by the parties in question 4
petroleum lamp was used as a night
lamp, the flame being as much reduced
as possible. The wick had, however,
been left projecting without the pro-
lection OF a glass cylinder. In this
way the flame of couIse, emitted smoke.
The father was also found TO exhibit
symptoms OF poisoning.
