Engraving by GunDOWdcr.

Shooting candle through a two.inch
solid plank without disturbing it in the
least is being outdono by dynamite,
which is SO quick in its action that
a tender green leaf can be compressed IN
to the hardest steel before it has time to
flatten. One of the experiments of the
United States torpedo works was to place
some leaves between two heavy, flat
pieces of iron, set them on firm founda-
ton and see what gun-cotton would do
in forcing the iron pieces together. The
reaction was so great from just being ex-
RIoded in the open air that OF the
other quick enough to ecaatsR RR'as M asshes tshes

before they could escape. 1t is also a
singular fact that the gun-cotton should
sink deep into the iron when it explodcS,

into the cartridges. This novel method
of engraving by gunpowder is one of the
wonders of this centurY.-Ncto I0ra

London Dock Laborers Angry.

LONDON, November 1i.--h scheme, sub
mittcd to the directors of the dock COM
panies, provides for the establishment of
the pieoe-works system, to take the place
of the agreement under which the men
have been working for year past and
which has expired. The men generally
do not favor the new scheme and much
discomfort exists among them. Although
most of the men are working, pending a
decision OH the directors proposition, it
is feared the strike will he inaugurated
any moment. Early this morning Messrs
Fillctt and Mann, labor leaders, visited
the various dock gates and exhorted the
men not to quit work. Their advice was
followed in most cases and the men re-
sumcd work, though in numerous In
stances a sullen disposition was shown by
the labomrs. Eight hundred men en-
ploycd on the Royal, Victoria and Albert
docks refused to acquiesce in the decision
of the leaders and went on strike.

The 81 nging Bee Dies.

Some people have long disputed that
when bee loses lis sting by using it,
there is any serious injury or premature
death But Professor A. J. Cooke, of
the Michigan Agricultural College, who
is a noted apiarist, says all his experience
aud that of his students confirms the idea
that bees die after singing. Bees that
mad lost their sting have been kept and
fed alongside of bees still retaining their
weapon, and in every instance the latter
have been the livelcr and the others have
soon died, while the bees with stings
have remained alive and active. The
injured bee may live some days, but its
usefulness is ended and its days arc
numbered - Neto Ior& Witness.

Lancing Assesses without Pain.

The pain caused by opening small all.
scesses is almost always intense, for few
moments at least, and many people nat
urally shrink from the surgeons knife
and prefer to bear with the Troublesome
visitations until they open themselves. It
cannot be generally known that by tho,
use of spray it is possible to so deaden
sensibility over limited areas that such
operations as lancing boils, enlarged
glands, fclons and the like can be done
almost, if not quite, painlessly. A spray
which is most effective is composed of
ten parts of chloroform, fifteen parts of
sulphuric ether and one part of menthol

Bud Mccoy, the leader of the notorious
Mccoy gang, was killed near Tennys'
Camp, Logan county, Va, on the Ohio
extension of the Norfolk & Western Rail
road, Friday evening, by man named
Dempsey of the Hatfield gang. Eighteen
bullets were found in his body. Othe,
parties are supposed to have assisted in
the killing. Mccoy had collected con-
siderable money from Contractor Tennys
and was returning to his home on Pete,
Creek. Although an old grudge rather
than plunder prompted the killing, the
country is wild with excitement, and it is
believed that Dempsey and his associate
will be found and the death of McCoy
avenged. Mccoy is known to have killed
eight men, but he has always escaped

tIt is singular" declares Frank

''It is singular" declares Frank
lies, "that the rise in silver threatens to
seriously affect Christian missions in for
eign lands. When silver was worth
twenty or thirty per cent. less than it is,
an American dollar was obviously worth
in the debased silver coinage of foreign
countries twenty or thirty per cent. more
than it is now. In other words, the rise
in silver has brought the currency OF
silver lands pretty nearly to an equality
with that of countries banking on a gold
basis. It is said that the Methodist Mis-
sionary Society will, by reason of the
rise in silver. require special appropria-
ton of $4,000 to meet the increased
cost of exchange in Iudia, and that all
other religious missionary societies will
be seriously affected"
