FeIIinr Trees by Electricitr.

The London Times reports that electric
power has been adopted in the Galician for
ests Usually in such machines the trunk is
sawn, but in this case it is drilled with a series
OF holes close together. When the wood is of
a soft nature the drill has a sweeping motion,
and cuts into the trunk by means of cutting
edges on its sides. The drill is actuated by
an electric motor mounted on a carriage,
which is comparatively light and can be
brought up close to the tree and fastened to
it. The motor is capable of turning around
its vertical axis, and the drill is geared to it
in such a manner that it can turn through an
arc of a circle and make a sweeping cut into
the trunk.
The first cut made, the drill is advanced a
Few inches and another section Of the wood is
removed in the same way, until the trunk is
half severed. It is then clamped, to keep the
cut from closing, and the operation continued
until it would be unsafe to go on. The re-
mainder is finished by hand saw or an ak.
The current is conveyed to the motor by insu-
lated wires brought through the forest from a
generator placed at some convenient site,
which may be at a distance from the scene of
operations. The generator may be driven by
steam or water power and does not need to
be transported from place to place.

Orders were given to Capt Jewell, in the
employ of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad,
to cut down the face of a rocky cliff that juts
out over the Greenbrier river at point five
miles east of Anderson and mile and a
half west of Fort Spring In the discharge
of this duty few months ago he found that
after cutting through an extremely compact
stratum of black limestone, serving as an ex-
terror shell, the rock that remained was in
singularly broken condition. On clearing the
fragments away, there was suddenly exposed
10 view the hitherto hidden gateway of
cave Of large dimensions, which has been ap-
propriately named for its discoverer ''The
Jewell Cavern"
The mouth of the cave is 40 feet wide and
so feet high The vestibulo is 80 feet deep,
and what might be called the throat Of the
cave-a narrow and irregular aperture to
the left us you go in. 1t bears the musical
name Of Magnolia Gate" just at this point,
in a stratum of oolitic limestone, some excel
lent specimens Of penUc2lites, crinoids and
other fossils have been found, serving to de-
termine the formation as sub-carboniferous
and referable to these called "Umbral series"
Of the Virginia survey. This series here in
cludes what are known as the Greenbrier
imestones and shales; the latter being soft
and readily dscomposed, while the former
vary remarkably in character, from kinds al
most as hard as granite down to the ooiitic
variety already mentioned.

the seine is nnisned with a cord of heavy
rope; tackle and blocks are used for draping,
the rope being fastened to hook in the CEN
ter of a coil of rope measuring 10 to 10 inches
in diameter, which is fastened to the corner
of the doorway or window. 1t should be ar
ranged in folds across the top and then allow
ed to hang from one side.
The cattail cord is new idea in applique
work, noted by the same journal 1t is IN
imitation of the popular summer shrub, so
much in demand for decorations. When this is
tackled to a pretty fabric for background, it
is unique piece of adornment 1t may be
used for mantle falls, lambrequins, chair
valances, etc.
Another novelty is an imitation of wooden
fret work, consisting of regular wooden
frame inclosing interlaced silken cords, close
ly initiating the style and appearance Of
woodwork This while not so expensive as
woodwork, is much more attractive and
catching, as it admits of a great variety Of
coloring, and is something which the anna
teur with no great amount of skill may
accomplish.
Reglet sticks, which the printers use to fill
up spaces in making up their forms, make

These strips are smooth, thin strips OF
cherry and pine of various widths and thick
ness three feet long. They are pretty used
each by itself or alternately, according to the
space they I'LL. A little ingenuity in weav-
ing them back and forth, in squares, dia-
monds, or combination of both, hammer
and paper of long finishing nails being al
that is needed Transoms over doors and
windows are filled in with lattice, as well as
the side lights of a hall door, or the lower
panels of a window where it is desired to have
the light and yet to be screened from obser-
walton Corner cupboards and doors to old
book cases present good opportunities for

Notes and Comments.

Among the interesting and successful re-
cent inventions is a rolling mill for producing
sheet metal direct from the molten state, in
stead of rolling it from billet or bar. A
machine of this character has been at work
for several months at the CAL factory in May
wood, near Chicago.
The Railroad Gazette calls attention 10 a
double locomotive for the Indian state rail-
ways which is novel departure fro,n the
common practice. The design is really per-
yranent double header; that is, it is intended
tor use when the conditions are such as to re-
oulre the use of two locomotives Of the ordi-
nas.y type, continually in tandem. This ar
arrangement removes the necessity for two
lenders, and renders easier the Transmission
of SIGNALS from one cab To another

TWIN PALMS AND OLD WELL OF Los ANGELES
About these trees the correspondent re-
ferred TO says: They are of the fan palm spe-
cies and are gigantic in size, being probably
the largest in the United States
1t is supposed they were planted by some
Of the mission fathers who founded the old
Spanish missions ON the Pacific coast. They
may be classed among the wonders of sunny
California They are about ninety-tiye feet
In height and seven feet in diameter. Their
age is variously estimated but it is safe to
say that they are over one hundred years old.
During this period they have witnessed the
growth of Los Angeles from Spanish pueblo
Of adobe huts to the metropolis of Southern
California
Near these palms there still may be seen a
well of great antiquity, whose waters have
refreshed, perhaps many Of the ancient Az
tees, the children of the sun.

Cutting Glass with Scissors.

To know how to cut glass with scissors may
prove convenient at times, and the following
from Pottery Gazette tells how it may be
done: The glass must be kept quite level il
the water while the scissors are applied; and
to avoid risk, it is better to perform the cut
ting by taking Off small pieces at the corners
and along the edges, and to reduce the shape
gradually to that required. The softer glasses
cut the best, and the scissors need not be very

Smells are fried in French style as follows
Carefully wipe two pounds of cleaned smelts

an egg beaten with a saltspoonful of salt and
quarter of a saltspoonful of pepper, and
then again in cracker crumbs; fry them il

Rhubarb and Ginger Preserve.

Rhubarb and ginger preserve may be new
to some of the housekeepers. Here is the
recipe: Skin and cut up a sufficient quantity
of rhubarb, not too young. Weigh it, and
to every pound of rhubarb allow three-quar.
tiers of pound of sugar. Put together and
let stand over night. Next day put it in the
preserving kettle, adding some sliced ginger
root Boil one hour. This makes an excel,
lent preserve, the ginger giving just tbs
flavor required to rhubarb which is apt to
be rather insipid alone.

Preserving the Color of Flowers.

A process of preserving the colors of flowers
in dried specimens, as used in Berlin, consists
in sleeping the plants in solution of sulphur
Gus acid containing one-fourth of its volume
N methylated spirit. Delicate flowers require
an immersion OF five or ten minutes, and
thick leaves as much as twenty-four hours.
They are then removed, the fluid allowed to
evaporate and the plants are dried between
paper in the usual way.
