IMPORTANT INVENTION.
A New Process for the Application of Zine
to Iron.


to Iron.
By new and interesting process, zinc
is row applied to iron in such a manner
as to prevent liability of the zinc becom-
ing detached, besides imparting to the
metal the property of taking polish or
being galvanized with any desired me-
tallic coloring. In accomplishing this
result the iron is first cleaned by being
subjected to the action Of mordant,
after which it is drawn through a solu.
tion of chloride of zinc, little ammonia
is thrown upon it, and immersion in the
zinc bath follows. The apparatus for
this purpose is placed near the heating
appliance, being SO constructed that two
rotating cylinder brushes are placed over
the vessel containing the zinc, and can
be brought nearer to or removed from
each other in horizontal position, even
during their rotation. When the iron
plate is to be placed in the zinc bath, the
brushes are moved sufficiently far apart
to allow of this being done. The iron re-
mains in the bath until it has assumed
the temperature of the contents the
metal is then lifted out of the bath suffi-
ciently for the upper portion to reach
the middle of the steel cylindrical
brushes, which are put into rotary mo-
tion by the mechanism and are brought
so near each other that both sides of the
metal are subjected to their action.
Their velo city is regulated by their dis
tance from the surface of the zinc bath
and by the thickness of the metal to be
treated. The superfuous zinc is removed
by the brushes while in soft condition
so that only the clean zinc-alloyed layer
is visible after the operation. This layer
is not coating of zinc. but is the orig
anal surface of the iron, and therefore
inseparable from it. Not only does il
perfectly resist all influences of temper
ature, hut 1t can be heated without In.

SHE WAS TOO FRANK.

Tndiscreet CandOr Inturiously Affects
Matrimonial Arrangement.
A charming romance has come to light
over in the unromantio city of Brooklyn.
1t appears that not long ago a teacher
in one of the schools for children set
them to writing compositions, of which
she herself was to be tho subject; that
is, the scholars were told they might
write out their impressions of their
teacher. One of these essays, of pecu-
liar literary excellence for a child,
drifted in some way into one of the
Brooklyn papers, which in its tuHn fell
into the hands of young dentist in
one of the growing towns in Montana
The description of the teachers charms
so captured his fancy and fred his
imagination that he was moved to write
a letter. addressed to her in care of the
paper which published the composition.
In due time the letter reached her
hands. She answered it and a
brisk correspondence soon sprang
up. with an exchange of photographs
and condolences, which resulted in
the formation of an engagement.
The marriage date was set, and
shortly before the month containing
the wedding day arrived the young den
tist received letter from his iancee il
which she said that she had one more
important fact to reveal to him, name
ly, that, while her picture represented
her as being young woman Of some
personal charms, she considered it only
frank to tell him that her beauty was
marred by very defective teeth, which,
she naively added, could easily be re-
paired after their marriage without any
great expense.
Whether the young woman's physical
defect or her business enterprise de.
stroyed the young mans ideal is moi
definitely known, nor is it really known
at present that the marriage is positive
ly declared off, but it certainly does
look as if it were, for three times since
the receipt of that letter has the skit
tish young dentist written to postpone
the ceremony, and the young woman il
consequently obliged to keep altering
the fashion of her wedding gowns. il
order that her trousseau may very prop
erly represent the latest modes priv
ilege which every bride is certainly en-
titled to.
This fable teaches, or should teach
that young woman should manage he
matrimonial arrangements with discre
ton as we'll as with fraAkness. N. Y

FULL OF PERL.
a Terrible Adventure in the Empire Shaft
Gold Mine.

Terrible Adventure in the Empire Shaft
Gold Mine.
About as tight place as 1 ever got
into, said Comstock miner. was some
years ago at the old Empire Shaft Gold
HILL Myself and another man went
down in the shaft for the purpose of
trimming it up. as the swelling ground
was squeezing in the sides and it was a
good deal out of shape.
We we're not on cage, but simply on
platform of planls, with ropes going
up from tho corners to the main cable,
which was of hemp. When we reached
tight place in the shaft we stopped
and trimmed out the guides, then went
on till another such place was reached
At one point, having giVen the signal
to lower, we went down some distance,
when we finally stuck. We reached
for the bell-rope in order to give the
signal to STOP but we found that it had
wound round nail some distance above,
and we could not use it. The engineer
knew nothing of our trouble, and con-
tinued to lower away. There was no
station near, and on all sides rose the
smooth walls of the shaft, leaving US
suspended over tho horrible chasm.
Down upon US came the heavy cable.
We feared every moment that the plat
form would turn over or would be
pressed through the tight place and
drop from under u.s.
All we could do was to get hold Of the
cable and keep the coils of it under our
feet as it came down. Should the plat
form turn over or drop from under us
we might be able to save our lives by
hanging on to the cable.
We shouted up the shaft till we were
hoarse, but no one heard our cries, and
steadily down came the cable, causing
US great trouble to keep on top Of its
coils.
We felt that the great weight must
soon start the platform, when both
would most likely be hurled to the bot
tom of the shaft.
Finally, to our great relief, the cable
ceased to descend. For long time we
waited in suspense, not knowing what
would be the next move of those above.
At last, however. we heard the voice OF
man shouting down to US from the
nearest station above.
We explained our perilous position in
few words, and at length the great
cable began SO crawl slowly up the shaft
again. Still being afraid the platform
would give way, we were obliged tc
keep hold of the rope and dance about
in the coils as they unwound.
It was tedious business, and was all
the time mat. or of the toss of a cent
whether we got out alive or went to the
bottom; but at last the platform tight
ened up under us, and we began to as
| cend. Our work was oven then and we
felt safe.
On arriving at the surface we found
that the engineer had concluded that
we were going too far, and hating, CT
stopping, his engine, had sent man
down to the station to find out if any
thing had gone wrong
may have been in more dangerous
places in the mines, but was never in a
place where the danger lasted so long,
and all the time up to fever heat 1t
was too long time for any mans hair
to stand on end.-N. Y. World.

Curious Spider-Lore.

Our geological correspondent speaks
OF the spider whose bite was supposed
to be cured by music. This was the
tarantula, whence comes the name
tarantism given to one of the dancing
manias of the middle ages. Music
alone reused the sufferer from his leth-
argy and his sensibility to the power of
music leading him to dance it was sup
posed that by this exercise the poison
was distributed through the system and
worked out through the skin. The
dancing became contagious, and, &C.
cording to the records, affected whole
districts Independently of the bite of
tho tarantula. One account says: cit
affected not only inhabitants of the
country, but foreigners visiting it; age
appears to have had no saving influence;
children and old people alike com
menced dancing at the sound of the
tarantella, but as a rule women wei
more susceptible than men. From the
seventeenth century onward it has
gradually declined, and is now practi-
eally unknown, the only relic of it
being the graceful dance of southern
Italy called the tarantella. The bite
of the tarantula is painful, but not dan
gerous; and the real cause of the phe-
nomena described must be sought in
the temporary epidemic prevalence of
an historical condition. ."--London Daily

The man is devoid of natural feel

But they accompanied him downstairs

standing up against the counter, the

There is a sunken forest of white
cedar in New Jersey which has been
continuously ''mined" or its valuable
timber for over eighty years. The Curl
GUS industry of digging for the sunken
logs is carried on by the people of Dem
nisville, Cape May County, a village
which was brought into existence solely
through the wealth Of the buried timber
in its vicinity. Over the sunken forest
trees of large size are growing, and in
many instances these are cut away in
order to get at the more valuable tim
ber. which lies only three or fone feet
below the surface. All the sunken trees
are Of enormous size, two to five times
larger than those now growing on the
surface. The exact age in which they
lived is a matter Of curious conjecture.
It is probable that they were buried
many centuries ago by the action of an
earthquake.-St Louis Republican.

Lifting Power of Plants.

Experiments of peculiar character
have been carried on at feral of the
noted agricultural colleges of the
United States during the past summer,
the object being to ascertain the lifting
power of growing plants of different
species. The one result which has,
perhaps, attracted the greatest atten-
tion is the discovery that weight of
two and a-half tons can be lifted by the
common Yankee" pumpkin in the
course of its development. Dr. Carpen-
ter relates the story of paving-stone
weighing SO pounds that was raised
from its bed (when joined by others on
all four sides) by such soft piece of
fungi as the common mushroom. And
still another and more remarkable
story is added to the above. A man
having a eask of sweet wine placed it
in an empty cellar to mature. When
examined several years latof it had
risen from the floor of the cellar to the
ceiling, having been borne upwards
upon the tender shoots of vine fungus
with which the cellar was filled.-St
