Safe Sweeping.

The common and necessary opera
ton of sweeping the floor Of school,
room. factory, or other large apart
ment is generally carried out with
great inconvenience to the sweepers,
and with the result that a large pro-
portion of the dust removed from the
ground is transferred to every object
in the room where it can find resting
place. The air. too, is contaminated
for long time afterward with floating
particles, which are very distressing
to those who have to breathe in it.
All this can be avoided by dispensing
with the common practice OF sprinkling
the floor with water previous to the use
of the broom and by applying the
moisture in different way. By lay
ing a line of wet sawdust right across
one end OF the apartment and by
sweeping it foot by foot to the other
end, it will in its passage lick up every
bit of dust without raising any in the
air. BY adding to the wet sawdust a
small proportion of any disinfectant it
is obvious that the cleaning will be
still more effectual. -Chamber's Jour-
nal.

The society of California Pioneers
are the owners of wonderful Curl

from the side of the ship Powhatan.

which is four inches thick, and piece

thick; transversely through the whole
of this swordnsh has dashed his
sword, and the portion broken off is
still embedded in the timber. The
sword pierced through thirteen inches
OF this solid oak. and the fish was
going in the same direction as the ves-
sci at that the ship being under a
good head of steam at the time. An
idea of the strength which must have
been exerted can be obtained from the
fact that rifle six-pounder could not
have done more than pierce that thick.

caused by the blow. and thought thai
they had struck something floating be
meath the surface. The sword is ovei
six inches wide at the broadcast point
where it is broken off.

Fearful Mortality.

The number of Americans who die
annually in Rome is greater than most
people have any idea of. The Roman
fever is malignant type OF malarial
fever. There is a large cemetery in
Rome which is filled with the remains
of American victims of the Roman
fever. Another cemetery in Paris also
contains goodly number of the same
class. They contracted the fever in
Rome. 1t is not surprising that Rome
should be unhealthy. The present city
is built on top of seven cities. In the
ancient days, every time Rome was re-
built they filled in and started new
city over it. That has been repeated
seven times. When one thinks of the
amount of filth and garbage that lies
under the present city, he can only
wonder that any one is able to live
there"

Sciencei In Schools.

A scientist has been making plea
for the introduction OF science into
school courses. He says it should not
be a matter of experimenting with
gases and acids, with air pumps and
electrical machines, but it should be
brought home as natures message to
the hearts as well as to the minds OF
the young. 1t should teach them
Justice and impress on them that
there is q right, that there is a true,
that there are moral balances as well
as chemical ones, and that there are
conditions of moral stability and in
stability just as of chemical or mechan-
ical or electrical. "The teacher who
cannot extract moral instruction and
inspiration out of physical science
ought to leave it alone-whether he is
fit to teach anything is question"

How Cellulold is Made

While everybody has heard OF or seen
or used celluloid, only a few know
what it is composed OF or how it is
made. A roll of paper is slowly I'M
wound, and at the same time satura-
ted with mixture of five parts OF
sulphuric acid, which falls upon the
paper in fine spray This changes
the cellulose OF the paper into propy-
lin gun-cotton. The excess of the
acid having been expelled by pres
sure the paper is washed with plenty
OF water until traces Of the acid have
been removed. 1t is then reduced to
pulp and passes to the bleaching
trough. Most of the water having
been got rid OF by means of stralner,
the pulp is mixed with twenty to
forty per cent. Gifts weight in camphor,
and the mixture is thoroughly tritu-
rated under mlistones. The neces-
sary coloring having been added in
the form of powder, a second mixing
and grindingfollows. The finely divid
ed pulp is then spread out in thin lay
ers on slabs, and from twenty tc
twenty-five layers are placed in a by
draulic press, separated from one an
other by sheets OF blotting paper, ant
are subject to a pressure OF $50 at
mospheres, until all traces of mois
ture have disappeared. The matte
is then passed between rollers heated
to 14O0 to 1902 F., whence it issue
in the form of elastic sheets.-Th

ACement for Iron.

Thefollowing mixturefor the cement
ing of iron is strongly recommended,
says the Engineer. Equal parts of
sulpher and white lead, with about
one-sixth proportion OF borax, are the
constituents of the mixture, and the
three should be thoroughly incorpor-
ated together so as to form one homo
geneous mass. When the composition
is to be applied it should be wetted
with strong sulphuric acid, and thin
layer of it should be placed between
the two pieces of iron to be connected,
these being at once pressed together.
The cement will hold so firmly as to
resist the blow of steam hammer,
and dry so completely in few days
as to leave no trace of cement, the
work then presenting the appearance
of welding.

1t is Novelty in Launches.

Naval officials are watching with in
terest the result of number OF ex-
periments by the English Government
with the electrical launch. The first
craft built for the government was
launched into the Thames from the
yard of her builders. The pinnace is
called the Electric, and, according to
her builders, is certain to do away
with the bad-smelling, dirty, noisy and
bulky steam engines which are to be
found in all the house boats on the
rivers of the civilized world.
The new craft is open, 48.6 feet long
and 8 feet of beam. She is to be used
for the conveyance of troops between
the dock yards of Chatham and Sheer
ness, and is able to transport with
perfect comfort forty soldiers. The
electrical accumulators are concealed
beneath the seats, the motor and pro-
peller working with singular ease.
There is little or no vibration. The
vessels speed is about ten miles an
hour. She can be got in readiness for
a trip at a minutes notice, no engineer
being required, theme inexperienced
person being able to take charge other
The craft can run for ten consecutive
hours on single charge of electricity
Since the vessel was launched the
builders have been flooded with or.
ders; the last coming from the Mexican
Government. Baron Rothschild is al
80 to have one and all the prominent
boatmen of the river intend to list
their names as purchasers Of an cleo
trio pleasure boat. An American
builder, learning of the success OF thu
Electric, has decided to start a de
partment for the sole construction o
the craft. He thinks that in two
years time the Harlem and Hudson
rivers and the bays will be crowded
with electric launches and that all tn
big steam yachtsmen will get one O.

The Smallest Steam EngIne.

Atto 9tttan0Se 0hoot' Gtikht0s
1t is said that Thos. Ticknor, OF
Parkhill, Ont, has succeeded, after
five years Of experimenting and labor,
in completing one of the most unique
and ingenious mechanical contrivances
ever seen. 1t is perfect model OF a
steam engine, complete in every detail,
and works with the accuracy and ease
Of Corliss. The dimensions and
capacity of the little engine are as
follows: Diameter OF cylinder, 14S of
an inch, stroke, 1882 OF an inch; weight,
\ OF grain; bore of cylinder, 1925
of an inch; revolution, .1760 per
minute; horsepower, .12490 part of
horse power.
The little thing is so small that it
can easily be covered with the shell Of
% calibre cartridge, being two-thirds
smaller than the famous Waterbury
engine that attracted so much atten-
ton at the last Centennial Mr.. Tick
nor used to charge fee for seeing the
little engine in perfect running order,
and performing in miniature the same
work as themost massive engines con-
structed, but he has now added it to
the many interesting sights in his shop

Lighting the Fire by Electricity.

A lady has brought electricity into
domestic use. Being without serv-
ant, and not caring to go downstairs
on a December morning and light her
own fire, she fitted up wire com
munication between her own bed-head
and the kitchen CRATE. She was thus
able to light her fire by electricity
without stirring out OF bed.

consented, and the doctor hypnotized
her in Mr.. Roberts operating room.
When she was quite under influence
she was asked to walk to the dental
chair and did so. Mr.. Roberts then
asked her to open her mouth, and told
her that thetooth would be extracted
without any pain. She obeyed and
did not evidence the slightest pain
while the tooth was being pulled up.
The patient was then awakened; she
said she had not felt the removal oil
the foot; neither has she experienced
any discomfort since.

Tobacco Rendered Harmless.

Smokers may be pleased to learn
that O. method has been discovered
of rendering tobacco harmless to
mouth, heart, and nerves, without
detriment to its aroma. A piece
of cotton wool stepped in solution
acid o TO inserted psr Ssnt the p ppe orr
holder will neutralize any possible eff
fects of the nicotine. In this way not
only may the generally admitted evils
of smoking be prevent ed, but cirrhosis
of the liver, which in DR.. Gautrelet's
experience is sometimes caused by to-
bacco, and such lighter penalties OF
over indulgence as headache and fur
ring OF the tongue may be avoided.
Citric acid, which was recommended
by Vigier for the same purpose, has
the serious disadvantage of spelling
the taste of the tobacco. e
