An Important Decision Reversing the

WASHINGTON, March 19.-Assistant
Secretary Bussey has rendered in i'm
portant de ision, reversing the practice
of the pension offi,e and correcting a
miscouslruction of the act of June q

7 his decision applies directly to tie
claim Of Schuyler c. Kephart, a son OF

Company Il, One Hundred and Twenty.
fifth regiment, Pennsylvania volunteers.
The claimant, who is now 81 years OF
age, while minor, was Ien5ioned on
account Of the death Of his father ana
his pension ceased in 1882, when he
reached the age Of rs years.
An appeal was taken for a restoration
OF the pension under the dependent pen
sion law, providing for widows and
minor children. I he appeal is based on
the al egation that, although the claim
ant is Eeyond the perio of minority, he
is permanently helpless and is en-
title to restoration under the new
law.
The assistant secretary holds that as
Stunning that present proof Of the exist
ence of such disabilities are abundant
the claimant is governed iy an obvious
misappIeheneion of the law. The claim
ant pension ceased in 1882 and this fa t
Gen. Bussey holds debars him from re-
Ceiyiug the BENEFITS Of the late law, as
there is no provision in the act of June
~, 1880, nor in any other act whereby a

by reason Of age, may lie teyiyed and

Cutting vencers by Electricity,

The cutting of veneers is now done by
electricity. The veneering machine, in
stead of cutting or shaving around the en-
tire circumference of the log, as usual,
takes u thin slice from the fat side of it.
The logs are of any diameter, and are cut
into lengths of ten feet. The veneering
cutting knife is fixed between two parallel
shafts, and the log is carried up and down
in front of it with circular motion by re-
volving cranks, and is fed against the
knife by ratchet and pawl, in the ordi-
nary manner-New York Telegram

When paper making machines were in
troduced, and the use of molds was aban-
doned, sheets came to bemade of all dimen-
sions AS a result quartos and octayos had
all sorts of dimensions, and the terms,
when used strictly to indicate how the
sheet was folded, became worthless as DIES
ignations of size. The use of the old terms
was nevertheless not abandoned; but in
stead they were first used to indicate a
rather wide range of sizes, and finally were
attached to certain more definite sizes,
without reference to the method of folding.
