Fire in a Female College.

At a birthday celebration in the
Buchtel College, Akron, O., on the
evening'of the 18th, thirty lady students
were gathered in the library building.
They were entertained by eight others,
who wore masks and loose flowing gar
ments, with high hats covered with cot
ton. The hat of Miss Aurelia Steigmier,
of Utica, n. Y, caught fire and com
municated the sparks to the entire
party. The screams of the young ladies
were heard throughout the great build
ing, and their blazing costumes seemed
to fill the room. Miss Mary
Stevens, of Clifton Springs,
N. Y, had every particle
of clothing burned from her body, and
rolled over and over in the center" of
the room, where little group tried t@
extinguish the flames. Miss Steigmier
was burned from head TO- foot, and both
will probably die. Others injured are. ::

New Paving Experiments.

Among the recent experiments in paving
is the combination of cedar blocks and cob
blestones. The single horsecar track in the
center of the street is paved with cobble-
stones; width of about eight feet on either
side is paved with cedar blocks, and the rest
of the way to the curb is paved with cobble-
stones. This gives a pavement which has
some excellent points; its disadvantages are
that the wood paving shows a tendency to
wear in ruts, as the vehicles run so nearly
in one track. Well-laid cedar block pay
ing in Detroit lasts eight to ten years, and
on some streets even Is or 20 years. 1t is
generally laid on sand, with sand brushed
between the blocks. A pavement that is
much more even, but which costs consider
aOly more, is made by laying the cedar
blocks on concrete, with cushion of sand
between, and filling with coal tar between
the blocks. Asphalt is now finding much
favor in the replacing of cedar blocks on
streets of heavy traffic.

safetv Indicator for Elevators.

The frequency of mishaps to elevators has
drawn attention to the necessity of adopting
reliable devices for insuring the safety of
passengers. In addition to the many
patents which have been taken out with this
object in view, a device has just been
brought out whereby the condition OF the
automatic safety attachments to a passenger
or freight elevator will be audibly mani
tested at every reciprocal movement of the
elevator car. The elevator is fitted with a
system of levers and spring for controlling
them or releasing them when they are re-
quired to engage the teeth of the racks run
ming at the side of the elevator shaft, and
thus instantly stop the car. To prevent &C.
cident from an imperative or defective
spring, an alarm or signal bell is provided,
and each time the supporting cable is
slackened from any cause the bell is
sounded. Should the bell fail to ring on
the car reaching the bottom of the shaft, the
absence of the signal would be an indica-
tion of defect calling for immediate at
tention

Water in ExtinguishIug Fire,

The theory of all fire e1tinguishers is to
cut off the burning object from the sur.
rounding atmosphere. This can be done BY
either a liquid or a solid substance, but
water is the simplest and most natural one.
Its efficacy as fire extinguisher may, how
ever, be increased BY an addition of pull.
verized alum in sufficient quantity to give a
saturated solution. On evaporating, this
solution will leave on tie material on which
it has fallen thin coating, having high
heat-resisting power. Potash and common
salt should not be used, as the salts will
volat:lize and afterward precipitate them
selves in various parts Of room or build.
ing, and tend TO produce dampness from
their affinity for moisture.

Porcelain Finish,

The Painters Gazette gives the most ap-
proved method of producing the porcelain
finish" which is the latest craze for finish
ing dining rooms in pure white. Ii it is
new work the wood must have a coat OF
shellsc to prevent pitch from coming
through; if hard pine it should receive two
coats. If over old paint it must be sand
papered down to a perfectly smooth surface,
and all imperfections filed with putty.
Give the work four coats of French zinc
mixed with raw oil, and enough turpentine
to make it dry with only an egg-shell gloss.
Give enough time between each coat to dry
perfectly hard, before applying another.
When dry and hard sandpaper to a smooth
surface with No. 0 paper, then it is ready
for the finish, which consists of two coats of
French zinc ground in, and thinned with
Demar varnish. There should be no oil in
this finishing coat, as itwould tend to lessen
the gloss and turn the paint yellow.

A novel stencil is now employed for put
ding on large lettering on railway cars. The
open spaces are covered with brass wire net
ting of about one-eighth inch mesh. A
short stiff brush is used, with which the
workman beats the stencil instead of brush
ing it, and so gets good body of thick
white lead upon the car. This lettering is
said to keep bright much longer than that

not be thoroughly brushed in without dan

Both white and yellow daisies have been
prohibited by law ia two States-New York
and Wisconsin-and in Canada, being
placed on par with the thistle as no1ious
and mischievous weeds. The New York
statute says that both daisies and thistles
shall be cut down twice a year along the
lines of all canals and railroads, and on
lands bordering the public highways, In
June and July and in August and Septem-
Der, and in certain cases they may be cut
down by anyone at the expense of any cor
porstion on whose land they are found. In
many of the fields in the vicinity of New
York and throughout the States of New
York and New Jersey the grass will often
be white or yellow, as the case may be with
daisies, which means the serious deprecia-
ton of any crop sought to be raised on such
ground. They are not eaten by any kind of
stock, and cattle avoid hay in which they
are found while they propagate themselves
so rapidly that it is most difficult TO eradi-
cate them. One of the highly recommended
among insect powders, that known as
buhach, is made from pyrethrum, which is
only a name of one of the varieties of the
daisy.

The Luminous Buoy.

Experiments have been made at Hsyre
with q luminous buoy, invented BY NJ.
Dibos. The buoy emits the light-which is
produced by phosphide of calcium-on
reaching the water; and, as it is very pow
erful, the water is illuminated for consid-
erable distance around. Spectators in the
Lighthouse at Havre saw the glare distinctly
at point two and half miles away, and Il
is plainly visible for over five miles.

The following method of making paper
transparent for copying drawings is adopted
by the Austrian photographic Bureau.
The sheet of paper being placed over the
drawing to be copied, it is slightly rubbed
with ball of cotton saturated with pure
benzine. The tracing can then be readily
made, owing to the transparency produced,
and the benzine on evaporating leaves the
paper opaque as before, and perfectly odor-
less. To secure satisfactory results, how
ever, absolutely pure benzine must be used.

Handling Mnlfen MAfaL.

In car wheel foundry in Detroit very
ingenious system for handling the molten
metal from the cupolas to the TASKS, and
carrying the wheels to and from the soaking
pits, has been introduced. The work is done
by machinery entirely, a series Of overhead
trolleys, moved by a wire rope connection,
carrying the ladies, TASKS and wheels. The
foundry has capacity of 400 car wheels per
day, and about 130 tons of metal can be
handled in six hours by the new system.
