and cause him TO get away from Tho

1tb related that in the early history OF
tho country, old Uncle Billy Bassett onoe

In the night 1t was brilliantly ligh ted

were hoard therein. He, knowing moth

Going down into the ravine, he followed
Its course I'LL upon turning an angle OF

cavern, an opening some twelve feot
high and twenty wide. He took ono
look at tho scene within, and inoonti-
nently fed from the spot with tho speed

Ing music on instruments that he was
unacquainted with, while on tho floor

might and main. Ever since that timo
1t has boon called tho Devils Don.
Another story is that during tho war
1t was occupied as n rofuge and hiding
place for disorders. Ono OF them ono

time which was hanging SO heavily on
his hands, he would explore the cnve

An Artificial Product Very Similar to tho
Natural Article.
Germany possesses no qunrrios or btu
minOus limestone suitable for street
pavements- The chemists OF that ooun-
try have often tried to find an artificial
substitute. but never succeeded Tho
compositions lacked tho necessary
strength and elasticity, although every
possible combination OF limestone and
bitumen was tried.
Horr 1aisse, chemist Of Linden, near
Hanovor noticed that all artificial
asphnlts lacked certain gummy oils OK
listing in tho natural stone This led
him to experiment on mixtures OF finely
powdered stono with theso oils, with
tho result of producing material
said to be very similar to natural as
phalt
Tho material is claimed to DO abso-
lutely impervious to tho action OF tho
weather. At tho Government testing
bureau Mt Charlottonburg tho comprcs-
sivo strength was found to be about g.
500 pounds per square inch. In somo
experiments In Hanover Is was found
that layer Of tho material inchos
thick would stand pressure OF 5.O7o
pounds per square inch. Tho difference
botwoon this figure aRl that just given
is probably duo to tho fact that tho Gov
ernment tests wero made on oentimeter
oubes- About 500 square yards were
lnid In Hanover in the summer Of 1887;
this surface has worn so woll that 1870
square yards are now being laid in that

havo begun serios Of tests also.

MAKING SQUARE HOLES.
Ono of the Most Important Mechanical In
vcntions OF tho Century.

Ono of the Most Important Mechanical In
ventions OF tho Century.
a feat in mechanics has just boon ac-
complishcd by the production of ma
chino by means of which square holes
can BIO drilled in metal. Hitherto 1t
has only boon possible to drill round
holes; but now square holes, and, in
fact holes Of complex goomotrical out
limo, can DO drilled as easily as circular
holes There are two machines for Of
1ecting this object. ono OF which will
only drill either round or square holes,
but tho other will drill holes Of any
shape.
Tho first OF these is tho Ainlcy-Oakes
drilling machine. which in appearance
resembles an ordinary drilling machine.
1t has, however, q spindle of three con-
centric parts, upon one OF which is a SGT
Of cams so arranged that each cam,
when brought into combination with
tho part in which it works, produces at
tho cutter holo of givon size, each
cam producing different sizod hole. In
other words, in cutting square holo
the tee of tho cutter describes square.
1t is not possible without drawings to
mako tho arrangement clear, but it NAV
DO stated generally that tho mechanical
details, whilo very ingenious, arc very
simple, and the results worry satisfac-
tory.
Tho second machine is tho Tylor- Ellis
drill. which is an outcome of tho previ-
GUS apparatus. In tho Tylor-Ellis ma
chino tho spindle moves about tho con-
tor OF ball joint, and by On improved
arrangement OF tho working parts holes
of any conceivable mathematical out
limo can be drilled. Another point of
advantage in tho Tyler-Ellis drill is
that 1t cuts clean angles in tho square
hole, whereas tho Ainloy- Cakes drill
leaves slight filling of motal in tho
angles, which have to DO cleared out
after tho holo has boon drilled. 1t Is
curious to watch tho machine forming a
four-sided hole in plato of metal, but
il docs 1t in worry practical and effoctu-
al manner
Tho value Of those machines will DO
found in engineering workshops and
shipbuilding yards, where great num-
bors of square holes arc constantly re-
quired to be mado in various parts OF
machinery, and would DO much moro
frequently mado wero tho means at hand
for forming them. 1t Is stated that tho
cost OF drilling square holes Is no great
or than that OF round ones, although up
to tho present timo tho cost has been as
TO 36-that Is to say, square hole has
hitherto cost to make thirty-six limos
as much as round one.-London

MINERAL LAND.

offer for sale 2O1 acres of Coal and
Iron Land, situated in the Catawba VAL
ley of Virginia, eleven miles from Roam
oke. The outlook for great develop
ments on this property is splendid. The
ore is vcin of soft brown hematite SO
feet wide and assaying SO por cent, me-
tallic iron. And the coal prospects ara
hne-two shafts having been sunk, one
90 and tho other % feet, through solid
coal slate. The property also contains
a mineral spring, which the analysis of
Lehman & Mayer proved to possess re-
markablo curative powers for all kidney
troubles, especially for diabetes. The
enormous quantity of coal and ore that
will be required for the largo number of
furnaces and other industrial plants in
course of construction in Southwest Vir-
ginia will greatly increase the already
large demand for these minerals, and
consequently enhance tho value OF such
property. Two railroads have been sur
