Building by Night.

Buildings and other works are now
constructed at such express speed that it
becomes necessary for the workmen en-
gagged to labor ut night, as well as dur
lug the day. Especially is this the case
in London, England, whore ground is
valuable and where, during building oIe-
rations, heavy rent is running aud no
return is coming in. This custom has
rendered necessary some form Of brilliant
artificial light, and many ingenious lamps
have been coutrivcd, which generally owe
their radiance to some form of cheap
crude oil, which is forced under pressure
into spray, or vaporized, and then ig
nited in special form of burner. A
new lamp of this description, called "tht
Comet" has recently been introduced,
aud it embodies one or two new features.
It consists of tank, above which Is
fixed on standard the coal burner in
which the oil is vaporized, The liquid
is forced up to this level by means of an
air pump attached to the tank. A light
oil is used, as it has been found, in other
systems, that those OF heavy descrip-
lion are apt to leave heavy deposit OF
carbon in the connections, and so i'm
pede the action Of the apparatus. -Nes

about the equivalent OF six cords TO the
acre for the four years it had been re.
claimed for pasture; to this was appliej
four cords of barn manure in which
rather over ton Of fish had been well
mixed. The piece was planted toward
the close of May with the Michigag
mammoth pumpkin, in hills twelve By
twelve, the vines being finally reduced tc
two to each hill. They had three cult,
vatioEs, though at one period of their
growth the weeds got the start, and there
had to be some hard pulling. In the
fall, after the leaves of the vines had
mostly died down, the field, cov.
cred with its huge fruit, weigh
ing from twenty to forty pound,
each, and almost every one
of the richest orange color, was certainly
a very striking sight. One load being
weighed, and the quantity OF the rest OF
the loads being estimated from that
weight, We found the entire crop, in
GLIDING two loads not fully ripe, was
rising ten tons. II is not necessary that
a farmer should plant this variety to get
twenty tons to the acre. have known
a crop at the rate of twenty-five tons to
the acre to be raised from pumpkins
whose average weight was not over
eight pounds. This crop was remark
ably large, for the fact that the seed was
taken from several varieties which grew
side by side, for mongrel crop of eth
er pumpkins or squashes, il but one step
removed from it parents, will yield
heavier than did either of the parents.
This iso the same principal whereby a
grade COW will usually do better than tho
average OF the two pure-bred parents OF

pumpkin play any part in the farm econ4

raise themi find in my experience as
milk producer that there is period
between the coming of the first frost suf-
fciently severe to destroy fodder corn
and the date when we open our silo
where there is a blank in green fodder;
this blank the pumpkin will fill. The
objections sometimes made to feeding
the seed is not always we'll taken, but il
the cows are observed to urinste more
freely after being fed with seed and all,
then the bulk of the seed should be re-
moved, otherwise as this contains far
richer nutriment than the flesh, indeed
are especially rich when that is deficient,

CONTAINS LOVELY BLONDES.

The most lovely women in New York
to-day are blondes. The Gothamitc
loves blonde; it is to him the very
highest form of beauty. A girl whose
coloring is intensely fair by nature-not
made by although she may not be very
pretty, can easily get herself known as
4 beauty IL she dresses herself in pale
colors and poses aud gets herself al.
luded to in tho papers as "a delicate
blonde" Fair, yellow hair, white
skin, a slender figure, small hands, and
general air Of fragility are quite suffi-
cient to give their owner the crown OF
beauty, where brown haired Venus at
her elbow is ignored. Miss Amy Bend
IS now supposed to be the prettiest girl
in the younger set, mainly through the
hawless perfection of her exquisite color
ing. She is as finished as n flower, rep
rcsenting the absolute ideal of the fragile
blonde type, Everything is in perfect
harmony; there is not one feature or one
shade in the coloring that does not bal
ance with the rest. Wrists too thick,
or ears too large would spoil the whole,
but all accords as perfectly as the notes
of nocturne, It is this harmonious
completeness, this perfection of finish,
that has endeared the pale blonde type
to the New Yorker, who every time pre-.
fers an inferior article highly finished, to
to a superior article that may be crude
and rough. -Araonaut.

LEAD IN LACE.

Philip De Clarmont gives an account,
In lie Aoniteur de Ia Temture, OF o white
satin dress totally ruined by its trim
ming with English lace. The dress had
been worn but once, had then been
packed into trunk which was deposited
in damp place and exposed to emana-
tons OF hydrosulphuric acid from gas.
When taken out. it was found that the
pattern of the lace, particularly Of its
lulle ground, had been printed in indeli
BILE black upon the white satin. The &C
cident was not difficult to explain. Eng
fish lace is habitually charged with sui
phate of lead which in this case had alb
,orbed hydrogen and hydrosulphuric
acid from the atmosphere, forming sui.
phide of lead, which had been imprinted
aud fixed upon the white satin, which
naturally had also absorbed hydrogen
and hydrosulphuric acid. The seller OF
the lace showed that charging English
lace with white lead (sulphate of lead)
was commercial usage, and thereby cs-
capped paying tho damage. An objcc-
tionable usage it is at any rate, as the
absorption Of lead through the skin
from such lace may become dangerous to
health. -Scientifc american.

Lathes for Big Naval Guns.

The first Of the series of immense gun
lathes to be used at the Government
Works at Troy, N. Y, in turning the
monster guns for the United States Navy
has been cast at the Pond Machine Tool
Works at Plainheld, N. j. The Pond
Company was last spring awarded tho
contract for the construction of the
lathes, which are to cost S25, 200 each,
aud since then preparations for the first
casting have been continuous.
The flow of molten metal into the in
tricately-designed matrices, with oil Their
complex niceties Of construction, was
witnessed by several persons interested in
naval affairs and the officers OF the works.
Such of the castings as are imperfect viii

within few months. The company has

A NOVEL AND INGENIOUS SKIRT.

A novel and most ingenious skirt, made
without any foundation, has been intro
duced for the benefit of ladies who ride
bicycles, shoot, go yachting, climbing,
or touring. The bottom Of the skirt is
closed, the feet passing through two
holes, and the garment drawn on leaves
the ankles aud limbs encased in pair of
tight-fitting CATERS. This continuance
is intended TO be buttoned to an ordi-
nary dress. The material used is water
proof, and the weareI is shut in from all
exposure to cold and dampness. 1t can
be worn with any sort of shoes, but it is
clumsy and ugly, two very good reasons
why it will not be fsvorably received

A HEROIC GIRL.

At the wreck Of the Quota In the In
dian Ocean, last March, Miss Emily Lacy,
q girl under sixteen. rescued her younger
sister from the submerc ID cabin, and
then swan and fioated herself for thirty
six hours before she was picked up. As
the chief officer, Gray, could not swim,
she attempted to tow the raft on which
he had tried to save her to land, which
seemed near. The sea being too high,
she then tried to reach the shore alone to
procure food and water for both, but the
cross-currents baffled her, and when she
was rescued by the Albatross, she was
drifting out to sea. The heroic girl was
burned black by the tropical sun, and
had suffered SO much that she said she
should have chosen to drown but for the
thought Of the agony her parents would
suffer in her death

ENGLAND's REAL BEAUTIES.

In fact, the far-famed beauty-aud it
still exists of England is only to be found
in the middle and lower classes. Tho
aristocracy are absolutely ugly, in a gen
eral sense, and the ugliest of the lot are
the maids of honor generally in attend
ance on Her Majesty. On the other hand,
the shop girls, the mattresses and bar
maids Of London are often absolutely
beautiful in both face and figure. The
trim black dresses which they wear, free
from trimming and adornment Of any
kind, and their snowy aprons, only en-
nance their charms. The contrast some
times of a bcvy of waiting women in at
tendance at one Of the great mansions is
so strange that one begins to wonder
how it is the lady cannot discover the
secrets which enable her waiting maid
to possess and preserve her good looks.
