RUDoLF's FUNERAL.


vienna, Feb. THE funeral services over
Crown Prince Rudolf were impressive but
simple All Vienna was drapel in black and
centers OF amusement were deserted. Dense
crowds extending through many streets as
senbled outside theaeourt chapel at an early
hour. The people We're subdued and respect
full, appearing to share the grief of the royal
family.
The first service was 4 requiem mass in the
oratory of the palace, which was attended by
the emperor and empress and the crown
princess. The court choir sang the "Miserere .
This service ended at noon. Afterward the
members of the imperial family gathered
round the catafalque in the chapel to take a
farewell of the dead.
Shortly before o'clock the last solemn
rites were held in the Augustine church.
where Princes Hohenlohe and Hunyadi acted
as masters of the funeral ceremonies. En-
peror Francis Joseph and the king and queen
of the Belgians entered the church first, and
they were followed by Count Kalnol1y, Count
Won Taafe, Herr Won Tisza, the privy coun-
cilors, the vice presidents of the reichsrath,
and the Hungarian diet, the burgomasters of
Vienna and Pesth and deputations.
Archbishop Ganglbauer blessed the body
sprinkling holy water upon the coffin The
court choir sang the impressive choral lib
era Ne, Domino Its strains had scarcely
died away when the emperor, stepping for
word 70 the bier, knelt beside it few mo-
meGts with bowed head amid painful hush.
When he arose the chainberlains lifted the
ccfsin and bore it to the vault. At the vault
the final prayer was said, and Prince Hohen-
lone consigned the body 20 the charge of

The witness Tells Sensational story OF

the Fitting Out of a south
American Expedition.

LONDON, Feb. Mr. Paracl was present
at the session OF the Palnell committee He
held lively conversation with Michael
Davitt
The witness Beach, who is also known as
Dr. lie Caron, continued his evidence. He
detailed a conversation which lie had with
Mr. Alexander Sullivan in June, 1881, regard
ing proposed alliance of the different Irish
organizations, in which Mr. Sullivan said that
no radical change could be effected until they
had change of representatives on this side
Of the water, which would be very soon.
Mr.. Sullivan, referring to a visit to Ireland
which he contemplated making, said he could
not think of allowing Mr. Palnell to pay his
expe9ses, as doing so would place AIr Parnell
in false position.
Mr.. Sullivan bitterly opposed the discussion
Of this matter in open convention ON the
ground that it would leak ont and compromise

conference of the ''F c. was held ON Aug.

Decoration of Gourtls.

In some places there is quite fancy fol
converting bottle and pear shaped gourds
into ornamental drinking vessels, water bot
ties, powder horns, cups, bowls, etc. Wher
the gourds are perfectly ripe, those of suita
BILE shape and without blemish are selected
and the outer skin is scraped off. They are
then dried either in the sun or agently heated
oven, being placed on wooden board OF
tin tray, which has previously been covered
with sand. During the drying process the
position of the gourds should be frequently
altered.
When thoroughly dry, the seeds and the
core are shaken out through a small hole on
the top, or removed with wire loop. The
gourds are then ready for surface ornamental
ton, of which our illustration shows a char
acteristic and effective example. The surface
is first stained brown, and then the Japanese
design painted on in fiat relief with gold pow
der mixed with siccative and oil paint, the
whole being vanished afterwards.
On other specimens the design is first
traced on the surface with pen and Indian
ink, and then filled in with oil colors in red
and gold brown. Ultimately the whole is
covered over with coat of French varnish.

Professional Sparrow Catchers.

Two men from Indianapolis follow
ing a new vocation are in this CITY
They are professional hunters of Eng
fish sparrows. They sell the birds te
the Indianapolis gun clubs or to trar
shooters of the vicinity.
The two men were equipped with
an immense net in which they caught
the birds. The latter are always
very numerous around two large
churches on Broadway which have
ivy covered fronts The men obtain
ed permission from the church officers
to catch all the birds they could, and
followed by considerable and curious
crowd they began their hunt. They
threw their net over a large part of
the front of one of the churches and en-
trapped hundreds of the birds. Many
of them got away, but many more did
not, and the haul was repeated several
times, with the same success At the
other church they had the same good
fortune. They visited several large
buildings, and during their ten days
stay here they caught over 1000
sparrows. They expect to return next
week. They get about SO a hundred
for the birds, and if their luck contin-
ues will make considerable money

Resistance of Pigments,

Engineering tells of an interesting series Of
experiments carried out by the Dutch state
railways for the purpose of ascertaining ex-
actly the relative resistance of various pig
ments to atmospheric changes and to the cor
rosive action of sea water. The results have
proved that the red lead paintsare less affect
ed by atmospheric influence than those which
are composed Of the brown oxides of iron, on
account of their adhering more closely to the
metal, and of their possession of greater elias
ITCHY. 1t was also discovered that any sort
of paint afforded an increased protection if
the plates were picked in hydrochloric acid
before its application. The prevention of
corrosion by salt water was found to be pos
sible by the admixture of the oxide of some
electro positive metal, such as caustic lime
and soda; but the efficiency of such a cover
ing diminished when its alkaline properties
had been neutralized by the absorption of
carbonic acid. Magnesia, however, was
proved to be the most serviceable, seeing that
it does not absorb carbonic acid;' and not
only does it protect the iron from galvanic
action, but it also does not affect the anti
fouling qualities of the paint.

salisbury's and Gladstone's Sons.

The two sons of the two leaders of
English political life are both good
parish priests, the one at Hawarden
and the other at Hatfield. Mr.. Stephen
E. Gladstone has to supervise six or
seven district churches, and has a
double daily service at the parish
church. His ecclesiastical training
was obtained in the purlieus of the
Lambeth potteries, while Lord Will
liam Gascoyne Cecil, the rector of
Bishop Hatfield, served under the
vicar of Great Yarmouth. The tall
figure of the prime minister's son was
well known in the narrow and pecu-
liar courts where real bloaters receive
their final smoking Now he has a
daily service at Hatfield house to per-,
form, and to provide ministrations
twice day at the magnificent parish
church, while ON Sunday, with the
aid of only two curates, he also finds
services at two or three district
churches, a mission church and a
cemetery chapel.-London Telegraph.

A study of the engraving will solve the
mystery. In Fig. the watch with its trans
parent dial, is shown, and in Fig. 2 the clock
work concealed in the metallic rim. In Fig.
8 a side view in section is given, from which
1t will be seen that wheel of transparent
glass, the periphery of which is provided
with metallic gearing, serves to transmit
the motion to the hands. The minute hand
is directly attached to it, and the slower mo-
ton of the hour hand obtained by small gear
wheels Zig. p concealed by the ornamental
ton around the center Of the dial. There
are, in fact, six plates of glass composing the
watch-the two outside ones for protection,
the dial plate on which the figures are paint
ed and two other plates which support the
moving glass plate and the accessory ma
chinery. When in position in the watch
these different plates cannot be seen, and the
source of the power which moves the hands
Is completely concealed.
As practical use for a watch of this sort,
1t has been suggested that it may be placed
in a magic lantern and its image projected
on screen in any suitable locality, thus tax
ing the place of the more expensive illumin-
ated clocks, and showing the time at all hours
of the night.

Transportation of sulphuric Acid.

There has been patented in Germany a
process by means of which sulphuric acid for
manufacturing purposes can be safely trans
ported The inventor, says Science, takes
advantage of p property of certain salts-of
which alkaline sulphates are representatives
by which they give up their water of crys-
Utilization when heated and take it up again
when cool; and he does so by mixing the
salts in an anhydrous condition with calcu-
lated quantity Of sulphuric acid. The whole
mass becomes granular, or may be formed
into cakes, and when heated the whole lique-
fies and may be used as if it were sulphuric
acid, for the presence Of bisulphate of soda
does no harm.

CONDUCTIBILITY OF SOUND BY SOLID BODIES.
We then slightly swing the spoon until we
make it touch the edge of the table; the trans
mission of sound is in consequence so intense
that we are ready to believe we are listening
to the double diapason of an organ.
This experiment explains perfectly the
Transmission of spoken words by means Of
the string of a telephone, another contriv-
ance which any one may make for himself
without any trouble whatever. Two round
pieces of cardboard are fitted to two cylin-
ders of tin plate as large round as lamp
glass, and four and a half inches in length.
If the two rounds of cardboard are connect
ed by long string of sixteen to eighteen
yards, we can transmit sounds from one end
to the other of this long cord, the speaker
pronouncng the words into the first cylinder
and the listener placing his ear against the
other. 1t is easy to demonstrate that sound
takes certain time to pass from one point
to another. When one sees in the distance
carpenter driving in a stake, we find that
the sound produced by the blow of the ham,
mer against the wood only reaches the ear a
few seconds after the contact of the two OBJ
jects. We see the flash at the firing Of gun
before hearing the sound Of the report-of
course on the condition that we are at fairly
considerable distance, as already remarked
upon.
