Some Enormous Hammers.

Sightseers in St. Louis, Mo-, always
take lively interest in the monster trip
hammers used in the various large iron
works, which, although as large as any
thing of the kind to be found within the
limits of the United States, are but
pigmies when compared with those used
in the great rolling mills and gun
foundries of Europe. At the Terni
works in Italy there is hammer which
weighs fiftystons. 1t was cast in 1873,
and is said to have taken ninety days to
cool sufficiently to admit of being set in
position. Alexandrovski, Russia, has
one ten tons heavier that was cast in
1874. At the Crenstot works in France
there is one of eighty tons. 1t was made
in 1877 and sets on an anvil block of 100
tons weight. The Cockerille works IN
Belgium have 100-ton hammer, and the
Krupp gun works at Essen, Germany,
have one of $50 tons. The last named
hammer is the largest now used in the
world Commercial AdyertiSer.

Deep-red Cotton Stalks.

of cotton that were deep red color all

matured only four bolls. 1t grew on
the edge of pit where some one had
been digging for gold, and the soil was
very thin. Mr.. Boles saved the seed of
the four bolls and planted them in his
garden, and they produced red stalks
again, and from this planting he got
pint of seed and next year one half gal
Ion of seed. He saved every seed and
planted them, and the next fall he had
twentyeight pounds of seed, with which
he planted about an acre of land last
spring. and every stalk of it is deep red

blooms are red when they open. The
lint of this cotton is longer and finer
than common cotton, and has no notes

than the cotton growing by the side of
it. and it blooms two weeks sooner than
other cotton. Mr.. BoIes i often asked
by persons going along the road if his
cotton has not been struck by lightning.

keep the small boy out of what he ought

luck would have it, the Emperor and
Empress rode one morning in that partic-

upon the little ragamuffins. Instead of
throwing away their broomsticks and
skedaddling, the urchins wheeled into

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

From experiments by DR.. LedenfeId
on sponges, it appears that absorption of
food does not take place at the outer sur
face, but in the interior. When poisons
are put in the water, the sponge contracts
ITS pores, and the action is very like that
OF poisons on muscles of the higher ami
mails.
DIR. Dixon, Professor of Hygiene at
the University of Pennsylvania, has been
making some experiments with air and
dust obtained in street cais. He has
found IN them the germs of many dis
eases, contagious and otherwise. Better
ventilation and more effective cleansing
are sorely needed.
A remarkable invention has been made
in Austria, whereby the serious effects of
railway collisions are prevented. Glass
tubes project before the train, and if
they are broken by Al obstacle, an
electric movement is applied to the
brakes, bringing the train Immediately
to standstill.
The 'L" road companies in New York
are doing their utmost just now to mini
mlze the noise made by their trains. and
on some of the roads they have sue
ceeded, but they are still far from having
the noiseless trains which so delight the
heart of the traveller in Berlin, and the
service has great many lacks.
Experiments made in Sweden by NJ.
Sandberg on the strength Of iron rails
during the winter have shown that steel
rails containing over four per cent. Of
carbon are apt to break in cold weather.
In fact, the result of his investigations
points to the use Of rails having less car.
bon in countries as cold in winter as Nor.
way and Sweden.
An electric motor is in successful
operation for wood-sawing in Lewiston,
Me. 1t is six-horse power and with a

a si1-norse power electric motor he can
do more work than with q tcn.horse

The heart contracts with power enough

Professor Samuel Cushman, apiarist Of
the Rhode Island agricultural experiment.
station, maintains, as the result OF
personal observation, that bees do no
damage to growing or fair fruit. The
juice of fruit is, in fact, injurious to
them; and they do not attack sound fruit,
but only bruised fruit, or that which has
been previously injured by other insects.
A beet sugar mandatory, with ca.
