A remarkable case of diamond cut

not far from the Providence railroad
station. A druggist had fitted up a
neat corner store and had established
at once a fine trade. One day another
druggist entered his store and said: IL

''and am prepared for IL Vow. II

site corner. How much will you take =
The druggist, offended ut this spcc;cs.
of browbeating, said he would sleep OH
it and report the next morning. at
the appointed hour the aspirant WINS

Changes in the "n,x plppsr. ;.

One of the most notable examples OF
the constant and yet almost i:nper-
ceptible changes taking place in the
heavens is to be found in the motion o!
the seven bright stars collectively
known as the big dipper. Higgins,
the noted astronomer, is now engaged
in proving that five of these stars are
moving in the same direction. while
the other two are moving in u direction
directly opposite. Prof Elanmariun
has reduced Higgins calculations to a
system, arranging them upon charts.
These ingeniously constructed heavenly
outlines show that 100, 600 years asu
the "Dippcr" stars were arranged III
the outline of q large and irregular
shaped cross; and that 100, 01O year
hence they will have assumed the form
of an elongated diamond, stretching
over three or four times the extent OF
sky now occupied.-St. Louis Republic

EiectricaI Cremation.

The latest novelty in the way of
disposins of the dead is an eiec-
trical crematory, in which the pro-
cess of burning corpse is carried out
rs follows: The body, being sllrouded
in sheets made of asbestos, is laid upon
a frame consisting of fire brick. while at
the foot are large copper plates, to
which the leads from specially con
structed dynamos of high electro-no-
tive force are attracted. The body APP
parently occupies the position of n fla
ment in an incandescent lamp. and.
upon the current being passed through
it,would be instantly carbonized; while.
as the air would have free access to it.
the process of destruction, or rather
decomposition, would be immediate.
The process appears to have the recon-
mendation of great rapidity of action.
and of freedom from many of the OBJ
jections to cremation in the ordinary
way.-ChriStian at Work.

Ayictim of the Ingenious system OF
niisiirection by signs upon the street
cars has related to me his adventures
in making an economical transit across
the city. His itinerary consisted of a
trip to the New York and New England
railroad station, where he was to pick
up n gripsaclx and umbrella left at the
parcel room in the morning, and thence
to take a train out of town ON the
Eastern railroad. This was to be done
at the small cost of ten cents, by avail
ing himself of the admirable facilities
in the way OF street car transportation.
He tells me that he frs boarded n ear
on which the name of the New Eng
land railroad station was prominently
displayed, and sat in peaceful conf
dence until he found himself in the
neighborhood of the Maverick bank,
when n question put to the conductor
drew out the information that the route
named ON the sign board of the car
would not be followed until ''some
time in the fall"
He took a herdic and thus made his
first station. Securing his gripsack he
thought himself fortunate In finding
car just passing whose signs told that it
was ON its way to tho Eastern depot.
When some point in the South Cove
was reached he learned from the cen
ducsor, on inquiry, that If he should
get out and walk to the next block he
wonld find u car going in the opposite
direction which would take him to his
destination. He then hired another
herdic and managed to catch his train

When such mixture, in proper proper
tons, Is brought to fluxing temper,
ture, the three substances react. chemi-
caiiv, upon one another and enter into
combination, forming the silicate before
mentioned. This is the most desirable
iron compound for Stag, although there
are several other double oxides of iron
and silicon which are called "silicates."
ms matter OF Stag composition will be
briefly considered in my next paper. the
preparation for its formation interests
us here.
Now, in this preparatory roasting. we
must not bring our flnxing iron to that
degree of reduction Theoretically reouir.
ed for the direct formation of this Stag /;
because, in the blast-fnrnace fusion. the
reducing action OF the furnace gases will
produce further reduction of meta.
which would drsulphurize the silver.
&c. On the other hand, if the redu,
ton by means of the coal dust be insu =
hcient, then there will be loss of sulphur
by oxidation from the iron oxide Both
me IRON and the sulphur of portion of
me IRON suIphide will he oxidized, after
me disappearance OF the metallic iron,
ny the remaining magnetic oxide, dur
ing the huxing. Practically. then, we
must try TO find the exact balancing
point between these two opposite ten
denotes. and we might begin with one
half of the theoretical amount of coal
as required for the complete reactions,
and then increase the quantity, a little
at time, until the best results are
reached. The appearance of metallic
iron in the matte, will indicate that the
limit Is passed-or that the smelter is
badly managed.
