Writing on Metals.

To write inscriptions On metals
saws the Manufacturers Gazette, take
four ounces of nitric acid and one
ounce of muriatic acid, mix and shake
we'll together, and it is ready for use.
Then cover your metal surface to be
engraved with beeswax or soap, write
your inscription plainly in the wax
Clear to the metal, then apply the
mixed acids with feather or stick
of wood, carefully filling each letter
let it remain from five to ten minutes
according to appearance desired, then
throw on water, which stops the etch
ing process, and the inscription Is
completed.

Protecting w orkmen From Furnace
Heat.

AT one of the German iron works,
an ingenious method has been adopt
ed OF protecting the workmen at the
pudding and heating furnaces from
the heat.
A rectangular iron screen is hung
from an overhead rail, and can be
made to cover the whole working side
Of the farnace, or can be pushed aside
when not required, or when it inter-
feres with the work of the men. The
lower end is bent into gutter, which
+ has slight fall in the direction of its
length, and the upper edge is provided
on the inside, the nearest the furnace,
with pipe bored through with small
holes about z inches apart, which is
In connection with the service pipe
supplying water for coolingthe sides
OF the bed. When in use the inside OF
the plate Is kept constantly wet from
the supply pipe, the small jets trick
ling down to the gutter at the bottom
and running away to the cooling bosh
at the side. A notch at the bottom
Is left for the passage Of the rabble,
and short inclined plate is provided
ior the cinder to run over; but with
these exceptions the whole surface is
screened by the water-cooled plate
The arrangement, which was first ap'
Plled experimentally to afew furnaces
mas worked so satisfactorily that it
mas been fitted to the whole OF the
pudding furnaces in the works, as it is
found that the puddlers, being pro
!!ected in great part from the exhaust
ing effects of the heat, can work full

and additional very heavy exports are to
be made. During the last few yeaIs a
large amount of Western whiskey has
been sent out of the country to avoid the
payment of taxes as the government re-
quires the payment of taxes within three
years from the date of manufacture. BY
exporting it prior to the date when the
lakes are due, it can be stored in foreign
countries for several years and then re-
Imported. Heretofore the shipments
have been made mainly through Boston,
New York and Baltimore, but as the
Chesapeake g. Ohio handles all of this
traffic it will now turn it mainly through
Newport News, and it has been reported
that several hundred thousand barrels
will be shipped abroad this year.

As to State Encampments.

The State of Georgia appropriated
$50, 0000 for the cncampment of its troops
at Chickamauga, and the public there
made large donations. 1t was not II
brigade encampment, but the troops were
put in by regiments. 1t turns out that
the Appropriation has been exhausted, and
nearly one fourth of the troops who were
ordered into encampment will have to
stay at home A bill to make further ap
preparation for camping these troops
passed the Georgia House, but failed for
want of constitutional majority in the
Senate. In Alabama matters seem to
have been conducted in more success
full manner. That State appropriated
$13, 900 for the encampment of the troops
and the people of Mobile gave 1000
more. Thirty-six infantry companies,
three troops Of cavalry and three batter
les, aggrcgating I 800 men, transported
from all sections of the State, were con-
ccntratcd as brigade in the extreme
southwestern part of the State and sub
sisted for nearly ten days. The cost of
All OF TINS, including preparation of camp
ground. etc, was about one hundred dol
lars less than the estimates.

1t will be interesting to remember a
prophecy which Sir John Mcdonald once
made to a reporter Of the New York Sun
with regard to the future of Canada.
He said that in time the provinces Of
Ontario and Quebec will form greater
France. He thought France was de-
clining, while in the old provinces Of
Canada the French were multiplying like
nothing the world has seen before. Not
only do they have large families. but
they possess all the thrift Of the French
and are steadily buying up the land.
Like that of our New England the soil
is comparatively poor aud difficult OF
cultivation, and the English, Irish aud
Scotch are leaving it for the prairie, the
plains and the Pacific coast, "and," said
he, "wheuever such farmer expresses q
desire to go West his next door neighbor,
a Preuchman, stands ready to buy hin
out. Soon there will be few except
Frenchmen left in old Canada"

as to raise prices. This had the disas-

that induced Americans to build their

The factories ,c opened OF moi. Many
are i'm favor of flooding the American
market and keeping prices 50 low as to
discourage the home efforts at manufac-
turing. Several manufacturers have
sent agents to the iron regions of Ala

putting up plate tin works there. Thirty
thousand Wclshmcn thrown out OF work
