Dogs Out of Place.

There is great deal of money, consider
able time and any amount of patience ex-
pended on dogs in the city of New York.
Why a man wants to keep dog in a great
big, hot close city the year around is
enough to stagger the reasoning faculties
But men do keep them and go to an
amount of trouble and expense to do so.
According to the city statistics there are
about 1000 licensed dogs in New York, and
according to general impressions there are
some 10000 unlicensed. There are dog ref
uges, dog hospitals, dog doctors, dog fan
ciers, dog peddlers, dog catchers and dog
stores-all of which represent a good deal
of money.
Outside of the usual ladies' pets it al
ways seemed TO me to be cruelty to animals
to keep dog in the city. There are fine
hunters, worth considerable money, kept
in flats the year around all over town.
They don't see the country five DAYS out of
the year possibly, and some of them never
see it. The Inconvenience and annoyance
of these dogs TO other people greatly in
creases the wear and tear of every day ex-
istence. Dogs are the bette noir of the New
York landlords life. Take whatever pre-
caution he may against the introduction of
animals TO his flats, they will be sneaked
in and will often drive the other tenants
out.-Sew York Herald.

A well known lawyer of this city had
been retained by maiden lady to defend
her in a certain suit which had been
brought against her by some of the coheirs
of her father. No fee had been stipulated,
and when the time came for the payment
of the fee the lady handed over TO the at
torney his remuneration in the shape of a
document duly transferring to him the
usufruet for life of half lot in grave
yard.
The astonished lawyer attempted to ex-
plain to his client that the right to the usu-
fruct ceased with the beginning of its bene-
fits, that he could not possibly find any
use for the tomb until he died, and that
then he would have no right to use it, He
waXed eloquent upon the worthlessness of
life usufructs of graves, mausoleums and
tomb space, assured his client that he had
no desire to settle on twenty foot grass
plot, and said he was sorry to say that he
would have to refuse the proffered fee.
The lady threw the document upon the
table, told the lawyer he could take that or
nothing, and left the office in high dudg-
con. The attorney calmly accepted the
situation, and framed the usufruct. 1t

The disposal of sewage is question
which has been agi tated in various coun-
tries for many years. Engineering says
that nowhere on the Continent has it been
dealt with in a more systematic manner
than in Germany. In Berlin the drains
from the houses receive both the rain wa
ter, the dirty water from the kitchen, ETC.,
and the contents of the water closets, con-
Quoting them to system of radial sewers,
through which they by natural fall, pro
coed to dozen various pumping stations
within the area of the town. From these
the sewage, through the medium of COM
bined force and suction pumps, passes
through pipes of three feet or still greater
diameter TO the land which the corpora
ton of Berlin poss esses, and where the
sewage is used rs fertilizer, The sewage
makes its final exit through SYSTEM Of
conduits so arranged that before reaching
them it has parted With all its manurial
power to the soil through which it is made
to pass. The sewage water thus filtered
reaches the river through the natural fall
of the eonduits in a comparatively purified
state. The sewage is an exceptionally good
manure.
Frapkfort-on-the-Aai is another Ger
man town where the sewage system is very
perfect, but owing to the excessive cost OF
land in that locality he sewage is not, as
in Berlin, used as m inure in the first in
stance. The sewage 5 purified before be-
ing allowed to escape into the Main, and
the residue is pumped into receptacles from
where the farmers fetch it.

Interesting Facts Concerning the Giant
Sloths of the Past.
When Cuvier classed the megatherium
with its huge and formidable frame among
the edentales, the naturalists of his day
were greatly surprised. They could not
believe that any relation existed between
this gigantic creature and the small, in
significant sloths. Modern science has,
however, conf rmed his sagacity. the mega
therium having been accepted as substan-
TALLY a gigantic antique sloth.
In the mena yeries. says a writer in Popu-
lar Science News, are the little living ami
mails dragging their limbs laboriously and
awkwardly ong the ground, hanging
asleep from the limbs of trees, or climbing
with activity nd ease among the branches.
In the museum is this colossal skeleton OF
their ancestor standing as a perpetual
witness to the TACT that the mighty must
yield when conditions become fit only Cor

is now desired for any museum, but happy
is that institution that can secure even a

nate. But. wit these exceptions and that

the surprise is that Governor Boies' elec-
ton. which was generally conceded in
advance, should have been accompanied
with the election of the rest of the state
ticket, which even the most sanguine of
democrats scarcely dared to hope for.
The election of the whole ticket instead
of the head of it alone, shows that the re-
volt against sumptuary tyranny was deep
grounded. and not mere sentimental
spaem which would be satisfied with the

Peculiar Property of Cotton Seed Oil.

Cotton seed oil possesses the peculiar prop
erty of taking up lead under certain condi-
tons. That quality il now being utilized,
and adds one more to the numerous uses
to which this remarkable product can be
applied. The pecalia-ity referred to, says
the Florida Dispatch, as follows: Zone
gallon of pure cotton seed oil is placed in a
suitable iron vessel into which twenty
pounds of molten lead are poured After a
thorough stirring the lead separates into
globules, and when the oil has been poured
off, after cooling. there is found to be about
seventeen pounds of the lead, the remain
der having been abso rbed by the oil. On
the lead being again m elted and the opera
ton repeated to the fifth pouring-the
amount of lead being less at each succeed
ing pouring-the total AMOUNT of lead alb
sorbed is about ten pou nds. The oil tins
charged with the lead is then used as a
PART, being applied il the ordinary way
to metallic surfaces. 1t is claimed that this
liquid. which adheres osely and becomes
very hard, is especially useful in protecting
metals from oxidation or corrosion."

Old inhabitants of the Canary Islands.

Old Inhabitants of the Canary Islands.
The Guanches, the inhabitants of the
Canary islands, are said to be the remnants
of the ancient race who 10000 years ago
peopled the drowned continent of Atlantis
They are reported to have been strong and
handsome, of remarkable courage and of a
loyal disposition: but they showed the ere
dulity of children and the simple direct
ness of shepherds. So tall were they that
the Spaniards speak of them as giants, and
their strength and endurance were so great
that they were conquered by strata9em,
but not by force. They ran as fast as
horses, and could leap over pole held by
two men five or six feet high; they could
climb the highest mountains and Jump the
deepest ravines.
Their endurance as swimmers was So
great that they were accustomed to swim
across the nine mile strait between the
Lancerote and Graciosa. Having no boats,
their method of fishing was to strike the
fish with sticks or catch them in their
hands while swimming The skulls, which
are preserved in the museums of the
island, showed marked cerebral develop
ment, the frontal and parietal bones being
well developed, and the facial angle good.
In the early days of the conquest, the Gu
anches are spoken of as being musical
and fond of dancing and singing. These
arts, together with those of basket weaving
and pottery making. were a few relics of a
great and remote civilization, and were
preserved in the same way as, if Eu-
rope were submerged, shepherds of the
Tyrcl, the Alps and the Pyrenees would
preserve the national airs and village
dances of their respective countries-St
Louis Star Sayings.

SKELETON OF THE MEGArHERIUM.


of the skeleton discovered at Lima in 1875
which may b. the one now at Berlin
the animal is chiefly known by plaster
models made from study of detached
bones. Such a model adorns the new
natural history building at Kensington.
London.
The pelvis, thighs and upper bones of the
tail are cast, with some other, parts, from
remains found by Sir Woodbine Parish in
the bed of stream near Buenos Ayres,
after a succession of three unusually dry
seasons. They Indicate n skeleton still
larger than that described by Cuvier
The megatheriu N, the first of the extinct
ground sloths to De brought back into the
life of the present, is still regarded as the
most interesting and wonderful of tue
family, although remains of at least seven
other gigantic for ms have been discovered
and described. The first of these to at
tract wide attent on was the almost COM
plete skeleton o. an animal somewhat
smaller than the megatherium, being
only seven feet from the point of the mug
zle TO the end of the tail. This was found
by Sir Woodbine Parish near Buenos
Ayres in ls4l, and presented to the Royal
College of Surgeo us. in London, where it
may still be seen it was first set up. To
this creature was given the name mylodon,
or the mill toothed animal, robustus being
added to indicate The formidable strength
of its framework. As with the remains of
megatherium, says the authority quoted
SO it is with those of mylodon; detached
bones of more thar one species are found
in North and South America, but a com
plete skeleton seldom comes to light. In
deed, besides that Of the Royal College of
Surgeons, there is as yet but one other,
and that has been set up recently in the

Progress. i'm Leather Making.

The manufacture of leather has ever
been a slow and tedious process, as COM
pared with most other industries, and even
now. with improved processes of tanning
and finishing, months are required for the
tanner to convert the hide of an animal
into leather. There is, too, a popular opin-
ion extant that tanners do NOT make as
good leather now from hides that are
tanned in three months'time as they used
70 turn out when nine. sand even twelve,
months were necessary. This is mistake.

The Tin Plate Question in a nutshell.

No sane man doubts for moment the
ability of our iron and steel manufac-
turers to make tin plate. The question
at issue is, Can we make it to our eco
nomic advantage? Rhode Island has
coal mines and Massachusetts has iron
mines, but Rhode Island does not mine
coal nor does Massachusetts mipe iron
for commercial purposes. And why?
Simply because they can buy their coal
and iron with the products which they
can produce economically, and thus get
these materials cheaper than if they
should mine them themselves.
Nothing prevents our flag from flying
at the masts of our ships on every sea
and in. every port of the world but the
expense of hiring men to do it.
The question of tin plate production
in the United States is the same. Can
our iron manufacturers produce plate as
cheaply as we can getit from Wales by
paying for it by the expectation of wheat
and other products of our farms? They
say they can-in time. But do the facts
bear out their assertions?
The Iron Age gives the latest quota
ton for &c tin plate, coke finish, made
of Bessemer steel, at lbs. 3D., or So. %
per box of 10s pounds net, free on board
at Liverpool.
1t also gives the present price of Bes-
semer steel sheets of twenty-eight wire
gauge the nearest approach to the steel
sheets of which the tin plate quoted
above is made, as four cents per pound in
Philadelphia. This is the best we are
able to do after thirty years of prohibi-
tive duties on steel sheets. And yet we
can buy tin plate in Liverpool at 500
cents per pound.
This shows clearly thatso long as the
tin plate duty exists, SO long will it i'm
pose tax upon the canneries and other
consumers Of tin plate.
A solution called diamond ink has been
invented which enables one to write upon

upon the glass about fifteen minutes be-
fore wiping off.
