Shark Skin Leather.

Shark skins are tanned into peculiar
kind of leather called shagreen. This
leather goes through n peculiar process to
give it a roughened surface. 1t is
sprinkled over with small hard seeds,
which are pressed into the soft leather,
leaving it pitted all over with small in
donations. The surface is then shaved
down smooth, and when the leather is
stepped in water the depressions swell
up to the original surface, leaving the
leather roughenad in peculiar manner.
Shagreen is used for covering small cases.
for sachels, and other small ornamental
worbs.-Nc,o York Times.

The Ocean Drive, the glory of the

by the sea. 1t hardly seems possible
that the water could get over the bluff,

Electricity la Dentistry. American Analyst.


 Boston people nowadays have their s1perhuous teeth drawn by electricity. The process is very simple, scarce any apparatus being required beyond An ordinary two-oell battery with vibrator attachment. This attach ment is thin strip of metal fastened at the ends, which is made to vibrAte thousand or more times . second. by the electric current. At each vibra- tion the circuit is cut of and renewed zssin, the effect being to give a per- fectly steady flow of the mysterious fluid. In order 10 make sure that the flow Is quite satisfactory, the operator tunes the machine-assisted by little reed tuning -pipe-until the strip of metal sings "A" Now, to the bat tery are attached three wires, two of them handles at the ends, and the third Is hitched to forceps. The patient in the chair Is given handle to hold in each hand, and the current isturned on gradually until 1t becomes painful. Then he Is. told to grasp the handle as strong as possible, the cleo tricity-having been switched of for moment-is turned on again sud denly, and the dental surgeon applies his forceps simultaneously to the tooth. The instant the molar is touched, 1t, as we'll as the parts sur rounding, become electrified and abso- lutely insensible to pain. When 1t is withdrawn from the socket the sub- ject of the operation feels not the slightest disagreeable sensation. A jerk, and the tooth Is out, the patient drops the electric handles, and the painless affair is over.

A MYSTERIOUS TOWER.
New York Telegram.

New York Telegram.
 Tn the immediate vicinity of the little village of Arlington, N. J., there stands in the midst of clump of tall spreading trees curious old stone tower, worn and battered by the storms of time. The spot itself Is highly picturesque and possesses an undef nable air of mystery quite in accord with some of the weird stories told of the origin of this tower. The country around Arlington Is of rather high altitude, but to the west 1t de- fleets abruptly, descending and broad ening into an expansive valley, dotted here and there by numerous gayly col ored little cottages, peering timidly through the big trees. The opposite side of the valley Is walled in by the wooded slopes of the Orange moun- tains, which can be seen to excellent advantage from the spot in question.
 Of the origin of the old tower many strange stories are told, most of which are at least interesting If not entirely probable. It Is also a curious fact that few of the oldest residents of Ar lington agree as to its age or the pur- poses for which 1t was built, while in many cases people who have lived here for many years know nothing at all about 1t.
 George Washington built that tower" said an old fellow who was sorting hot-house tomatoes on his farm not far from the tower.
 Waahtn0knn w the reporter.
 "Yes, sir; he built 1t during the fall of '76, while his army was encamped in these parts and General Howe was in possession of New York. It was built for the purpose of observing the movements Of Howe, and am told 1t was of great service. Some of Wash ington's officers, stationed in that box like top, were enabled with the aid of powerful telescopes to trace every movement of the British general"
 This statement did not seem wholly unfeasible, for it Is true enough that Washington was stationed here for 6 time, while 1t is also true that from the top of the tower a commanding view can be had of the whole of Man hattan island.
 "How do you know this to be the correct history of the tOwerl" was asked.
 "Well, that's what my father told me, and he got 1t from his parents, who lived here pretty nearly all their lives. Besides, names have been found carved in the stone Of the inner wall near the top, said to have belonged to Washington's men-his personal staff, I believe. Then, again, have a bullet and a sword hilt that were found on the very spot were the tower stands. ?
 He repeated this story to several other residents of the place, but with one exception they shook their heads doubtfully. One old fellow, with . very wise look, who lived here before the first railroad had ever been heard of, remarked, after deliberating for some time:
