An Enormous Microscope.

The Poeller Physical Optical insti- tute, of Munich. has under construc. ton an enormous microscope for exhi. bition at Chicago in 1893. It will mag nifty to 16,000 diameters, or, as ordi. narily fitted, to 11,000 diameters. An electric light of Il, 900 candle power is to be used for Illuminating the image. which is to be projected on 8 screen. As the heat from this powerful light would derange the focus by expansion of the metal, an ingenious device is used to cool the metal. This is 8 small copper cylinder filled with liquid car bonate acid under pressure of 350 pounds to the square inch.
 It is connected with the microscope in such a manner that an electric regu. lator automatically opens valve and allows drop of the acid to escape in . spray on the metal to be cooled. The liquid immediately evaporates and pro duces intense cold. The whole cost od the instrument is said to be nearly &10, OO0.-New York Recorder.

A lively scene took place in well known restaurant recently when Q prominent citizen, who has a temper like bowl of Tobasco sauce, ordered reed birds and found shot in one o1 them. The old fellow didn't mind the shot much, but the manner in which hs found it was what caused the trouble. He was explaining to his wife the prop CT manner to eat reed birds. You eat everything but the beaks," said he. Crunch the bones up just as if they were part of the meat. Now, watch me-" ..- -t..
 Suiting the action to the words, the old gentleman began to masticate leg. The first time his jaws came together he found the bird shot by the aid of Q sore tooth, and the yell that followed drew a shriek of laughter from his wife that made the old man dance with rage. The poor wife had a struggle throughout the entire meal to suppress her laughter, and it was doubly hard, for other diners were enjoying the old mans discontinue without taking the trouble to hide their merriment,-Ex. change

Had the Gold in Her Shoes.

Three women were on Main street horse car and were about to change at State street, when one of them sudden ly stopped down and picked up some. thing. A, policeman and one or two other men were on the platform, but they paid no particular attention to the women. &ar
 She had spied a five dollar gold piece lying on the platform, and with consid- erable dexterity had picked up the coin, lifted her dress and placed the money in her shoe without detection. When she seated herself in the other car she told her companions of her good luck. They would not believe her, and she started to prove it, but could not reach the money. "I'm not going to take off my shoe here," said she, but as quick as we get on board the Rosedale will show you the gold piece. ."-Bridgeport (Conn.) Post.

Rugs and Carpets.

To be sure, large rug costs more than carpet for the same room; but it is certainly cheaper in the end, and 1t will last lifetime. Those who really cannot afford such purchase can have carpeting made into rug with quite the effect of one piece. 1t should be fin ished with border, and if the corners are inclined to curl they should be weighted and lined with burlsps for a short distance. A velvet rug made in this way may be so perfectly matched and sewed that it will be impossible to detect the seams. If the floor is suita- ble, several small rugs may be used, though the effect is not 90 good. d.-Good Housekeeping.

Power of . Pound of Coal.

A curious and interesting calculation has been made by Professo, Rogers, of Washington, on tue dynamic power of coal According to the professor, @ single pound of good steam coal has within 1t dynamic power equivalent to the work of one man for one day: Three tons of the same coal represents a mans labor for a period of twenty years, and one square mile of seam of coal, having depth of four feet only, represents as much work as 1, 000,- 900 men can perform in twenty yearsl

Bedroom Carpets.

There IS an excellent way of laying bedroom carpets, in houses where rugs are not the rule. Fasten small strong hooks in the baseboard, close to the floor, and on the edge of the carpet sew corresponding rings. Slip the rings over the hooks and the carpet is secure ly laid. Of course few tacks must be put where the carpet crosses doorway, but these are quickly removed.

Inhaling Tar Fumes.

A man stood by one of the boiling caldrons of tar used by the Broadway payers. He was thin, cadaverous and of hectic cheek. Every now and then he visibly choked with the rising fumes of the tar. People looked at him curi- ously. He finally coughed rather more violently than before, when a workman grufhy suggested that he might move away if he did not like it. But he didn't move for an hour.
 That fellow comes here every day to smell that tar," said boss He's got the consumption, and somebody told him that the fumes of this tar arc good for it. He has inhaled about twenty barrels now, and if he sticks to it until Broadway is paved he'll be a well man or dead-I don't know which. ."-New York Herald.
