PETRIFIED HORSE.
There was recently taken from small
creek near Stringtown, l. T., genuine
curiosity in the shape of petrited horse,
w
bed of the stream for many years. The
creek, which is known as Mason's Ford, has
been dwindling away for some time, owing
to the failure of the springs by which it is
fed, and Is now but shallow rivulet, and a
number of Indian relics. human bones, ETC.,
have been taken from its bed.
ORANGE TREE.
H. H. Mcclure, of Florida has produced
a curiosity in the shape of an orange tree,
which in all probability Is not exceeded by
anything of it's kind in this or any other
country. Mr.McClure calls it his World
Fair Tree" and intends, if possible, tc
place it on exhibition at Chicago. The tree
is budded with no less than thrty-one diff
ferent varieties of citrus fruits, including
lemons, shaddocks and most of the fine
varieties Of oranges. The buds on the tree
are only two years old, yet many of then
are fruiting.
AwoNDERFUL PHENOMENON
in Thomas county, Ca, is a lake of large
extent which has, within few months, al
most entirely disappeared. In the basin,
which covers some six or eight acres, there
was no water except in two holes, which
are about 100 yards apart The smaller one
of these was about twenty five feet il
diameter and ten feet in depth. The larger
one was probably forty feet in diameter
and its depth about twenty-one feet This
is supposed to be the mouth of a subterran
can passage through which the waters OF
the lake have escaped. Once before il
1850, it is said, that Lake Iamonia, the name
of this remarkable body, ran dry, but afte
a time filled up again.

LINING FOR WAR SHIPS.
A plant is now being established at Phil
adelphia for the manufacture OF cellulose
"a water-tight lining for ships. A stock
company, known as the Franco-American
Cellulose company, has the matter in
charge. A building Is now under construc-
ton and machinery will be needed. 1t is
said that the United States government has
adopted this lining for the cruiser Detroit,
and that it will be used ON all the other war
vessels built by the government. A pre-
Hminary announcement of this fact was
made in this column under date of October
81, last.
THE LARGEST ARMoR PLATE TRAIN.
The rolling mill, which has recently been
built at the krupp works, at Essen, Ger
many, probably surpasses in size and effec-
tiveness any similar plant in the world. 1t
is used for rolling armor plates, and is able
to turn out finished plates twenty eight
, inches in thickness and nearly twelve feet
wide.
An idea of the size of this ponderous
piece of machinery may be obtained from
the statement that the rolls, which are
made of crucible steel, weighed in the
rough state 100000 pounds. The entire
plant of rolls, reversing engines and heat
ing furnaces is served by cranes capable of
moving 300 900 pounds, while the shears,
with long, steel blades, cut through the
plates as easily as ordinary shears cut
through paper.
The entire work, from the ingot to the
finished plate, is handled by hydraulic
automatic machinery.
ELECTRIC TABuLATING MACHINE.
The electric tsbulating machine, invent
ed by MIR. Hermann Hollerith, which was
used in making up the returns of the
eleventh census in the United States, is
also to be employed in the forthcoming
Austrian census. The machine was also
used in the recent Canadian census.
THE ELECTRICIAN OF dE FUTURE.
1t has been computed that in a single
cubic foot of the ether which fills all space
there are locked up 10000 foot-tons of
energy which have hitherto escaped notice
To unlock this boundless store and subdue
it to the service of man is task which
awaits the electrician of the future. The
latest researches give well-founded hope 8
that this vast storehouse of power is not
hopelessly inaccessible.
AN ELECTRIC GAs-LEAK DETECToR.
A Frenchman has invented an electric
gas-leak detector, which is something like
an aneroid barometer. 1t consists of q
vacuum chamber working contact piece.
The diaphragm is dilated by the pressure
of the gas, and by means of lever arm
placed on the diaphragm an electric contact
is made, ringing a bell The instrument is
said to be very delicate, and its utility will
be appreciated in large factories where

On this subject the New York World
has the following to say; Buckwheat
grows rapidly, and is sometimes used as
a soil improver by blowing it under in
the fall instead of harvesting it for the
grain. There is, however, quite gem
eral reluctance to plow under green
crop for its fertilizing properties, when
by letting it stand few days longer-a
remunerative crop of grain might be re
allied from it Flowing under green
crop Of any description is one of the ways
for putting soil into good condition
for the best results from the use of com.
mercial fertilizers, and in the case of a
poor field that is to be reclaimed the
farmer must determine for himself the
variety he can use most economically
Buckwheat plowed under in the fall, to
be succeeded by rye plowed under in the
spring, would furnish as much vegetable
matter for the purpose as can be made
available in the same length Of time, and
1t simply becomes question of sacrificing
two crops as fertilizers when both are
near maturity. As is well known, clover
is the most economical soil renovator for
the north, but soil is sometimes so poor
that clover itself needs fertilizing before
