WHAT THE TABLES PROVE.
The above figures are selected at random
from among the statistics gathered by the
State Board of Charities in 1885. The totals
show that the almshouses in a territory in
habited by over 1,0OO, 900 of people have
only 1,9I9 paupers. And in region where
only 349, $50 people live, the township over
seers are burdeEed with 2.254 so-called pau
pers. Accepting the doctrine that pauper-
ism is O constitutional social disorder, one

general almshouse, and which are working
under the cumbersome system of township
overseers, when grouped together, give this

The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1891-07-31

A correspondent of Indian Engineer
ing says he recently witnessed very in
teresting mode Of obtaining foundation
for new building A hole was bored
in the ground (Which was previously
damp from ten to twelve feet deep and
an inch and half wide, and string of
cartridges was lowered into it, The
subsequent explosion not only produced
a cavity a yard in diameter, but also
drove the water out of the surrounding
earth by means of the expansive action
of the gases. The water did not return
to its former place for fully an hour, SO
that an opportunity was afforded to fill
up the cavity with quickly settling con-
crete, and a rapid rate Of working was
thus attained.

How a Diamond Cuts Glass.

1t has been ascertained by series of
experiments that a diamond does not
cut out the glass, file fashion, but forces
the PARTICLES apart, SO that Il continuous
crack is formed along the line of the in
tended cut The crack once begun,
very small force is necessary to carry 1t
through the glass, and thus the piece is
easily broken off The superficial crack
or cut need not be deep, depth, accord
ing to fine measurements, Of 200th
part of one inch is quite sufficient to &C
complish the purpose, so that the appli-
cation of,,much force in using the dia-
mond only wears out the gem without
doing the work any better.
Numerous stones, such as quartz and
other minerals, when ground into proper
form, will cut glass like diamond, but
are not so valuable for that purpose,
lacking the requisite hardness and soon
losing the sharp edge necessary to make
the operation success - St. Louis
Globe Democrat.
The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1891-07-31

A southern grocer, being greatly an.
noyed by flies, distributed twenty-one
sheets OF sticky fly paper, about his
store. In the evening hegathered them
up, and noticing how much heavier
they were, concluded to weigh them.
He accordingly placed the twenty one
sheets with their loads of dead flies
upon the scales; they tipped the beam
at exactly seven pounds. Then he
placed twenty-one fresh sheets on the
scales and found that they weighed but
four pounds and four ounces. Thus
the flies were shown to weigh two
pounds and twelve ounces
He next commenced to figure on the
matter and found that there were twen-
ty flies to each square inch of the fly
paper; each sheet had 1886 square inches
and $40 flies, the twenty-one sheets
containing in all 141, 100 flies. Thus it
is plain that one can easily ascertain the
exact weight of a single fly, for if 141,-
l20 flies weigh two pounds and twelve
ounces it is easy to calculate what one
would weigh. st Louis Republic.

THE LONDONDERRY SITTER,

The work of the Central Vermont

the attention Of city residents desiriH9
summer homes, is beginning to work
out results, Those who are in stu

travel is larger than ever, that tits not
simply transient but the influx of city
people who have come for the season,
1t pays to advertise our beauties aud
our resources. Randolph Herald.
