Resources of Nova Scotia.

Nova Scotia is marvellously rich in
natural resources. Within its limits
there are more valuable minerals by far
than are known in any other territory of
equal size-coal, gold, iron, manganese,
anthony, marble, gypsum, limestone
and sandstone being found in great
abundance. There is scarcely county
in the province from one end to the other
in which valuable deposits of one or
more of these minerals do not exist. Its
extensive forests afford the best facilities
for profitable numbering and ship-build-
ing; its rivers, lakes and coast waters
TEEN with fish; its fertile valleys. pro-
ductive mountain slopes, and inexhaust-
IDLE marshes are adapted to every variety
of agriculture, and its equable insular
climate, free from all extremes of heat
and cold, of wet and drought, is sur
passed by that of few countries in the
world. The land on which the New
Englanders settled, and of which large
tracts were freely given them, consisted
of the famous dikes of the centre OF the
province, together with many acres of
the almost as fertile upland near. The
townships of Horton and CORVALLIS, in
which many located, form part of the

Sources Of Beautiful Colors,

The cochineal insect furnishes great
many fine colors. Among them are the
gorgeous carmine, crimson, scarlet car
mine and purple lakes. The cuttlefish
gives the sepia. It is the inky fluid
which the fish discharges in order to
render the water opaque when attacked.
Indian yellow comes from the camel.
Ivory chips produce the ivory black and
bone black. The exquisite Plnssan
blue is made by fusing horses hoofs and
other animal matter with impure potas-
SUM carbonate. This color was discov-
cred accidentally. Various lakes arc
derived from roots, barks and gums.
Blue-black comes from the charcoal of
the vine stalk. Lampblack is scot from
certain rcsinous substances. Turkey red
is made from the madden plant, which
grows in Hindostan. The yellow sap of
a tree of Siam produces gambogc; the
natives catch the sap in cocoanut shells.
Raw Sienna is the natural earth from the
nelghborhood of Sienna, Italy. Raw
lumber is also an earth found near UNI
bria and burnt. India ink is made from
burnt camphor. The Chinese are the
only manufacturers of this ink. Mastic
is made from the gum of the mastic tree,
which grows in the GIecian Archipelaro.

Domestic Serpents.

Rats have multiplied to such degree
In Brazil that the inhabitants rear a GER
tain kind Of snake for DESTROYING them.
The Brazilian domestic serpent is the
giboa, small species of boa about
twelve feet IN length and of the diameter
of mans arm. 1t is sold at from a
dollar to dollar and half in the mar
kets of Rio Janeiro, Pernambuco, Bahia.
etc. This snake, which is entirely
harmless and sluggish in its movements,
passes the entire day asleep at the foot
of the staircase of the house, scarcely
deignlng to raise its head at the approach
of a visitor, or when strange noise is
heard in the vestibule. At nightfall the
giboia begins to hunt, crawling along
here and there, and even penetrating the
space above the ceiling and beneath the
flooring. SpriDging swiftly forward, it
seizes the rat by the napc and crushes its
cervical vertebre. AS serpents rarely
eat, even when at liberty, the giboia kills
only for the pleasure of killing. 1t be-
comes so accustomed to its masters house
that if carried to distance it escapes
and finds its way back home. Every
house in the warmest provinces where
rats abound owns its gibioa, fixture by
destination, and the owner of which
praises its qualities when he wishes to
sell or let his house, scientific

WHERE WORLDS ARE MADE.
An Aged Germans Queer Little Man-
ufaCtory in New York.


Among the many curious manufactor-
les established on the Eowcry, near that
whirlpool Of heterogeneous humanity,
Chatham Square, is that Of making the
geographical spheres used in libraries
and schools in all parts of the country.
The business is carried on by an old
German with two assistants on the third
floor Of a large building
While on another GRAND | found him
| there surrounded by numberless spheres,
| finished and in process Of completion,
! together with the curious paraphernalia
| with which the miniature worlds are
! constructed. The aged proprietor hap
| p3ned to be in a communicative mood,
and he took one of the spheres, then q
thin layer Of white paper pulp that had
dried upon an iron ball and completed
! it while | watched the work.
The first condition Of the globe is that
of a white paper paste, formed bya mix
ture of pulp and glue. This is heated
until desired consistency is obtained,
and then by means of q curious looking
instrumental cross between spoon and
shovel-the paste is carefully applied to
an iron globe of the size q sphere is de-
sired.
This globe is heated by means of o
steam pipe, which enters it through
small aperture near the bottom. The
heat soon hardens the paste, and then a
sharp knife is passed around the imagin-
airy equator and the two hemisphcres are
separated and removed. These two
halves are united at the edges with glue
and then the hollow sphere is treated to
coating of white enamel about one
eighth of an inch thick.
''The next thing said the German,
''is to turn the sphere into a perfect
roundness," and he placed it in a dis
torted lathe, which accomplished the
work in half a minute.
Two holes at either pole were bored
through the half-compIeted world, and
an iron rod which projected about al
inch beyond the surface was inserted and
fastened in place. This formed the axis
of the earth.
The world was then ready to receive
the highly-colorcd representations of the
continents and oceans. The latter are
printed from copper plates in this par
ticular establishment by daughter Of
the proprietor on thin linen paper. Num-
erous sizes are made.
When cut off they resemble the dress
patterns Of fashionable tailoress more
than anything else They usually fit
better than the fashionable taijorcss'
work, however, and without difficulty
arc pasted on the globe.
"Now, one moment more" continued
the old German, 'and you will see the
whole world completed, the blue divided
from the red and the red from the yell
low"
While speaking he passed the sphere
to another girl who covered various por-
tions Of it with transparent blue, red and
yellow water colors. When that had
been done it was placed in an oven to
dry, and then covered with last coating
of brilliant varnish Of metallic hardness,
which would wear for ages without
scratching or losing its brightness.

ation,'' concluded the maker rs he

Says the Halifax IN. So Critic:
The blue book dealing with the peni-
tentiarics of Canada shows an increase
in the number Of conyicts for the year
ending June 30th, 1890, Of Sc over
the preceding year, the total number
in all the penitentiaries being 1851.
In the course of the last fsca! wear.
1889-90, 431 convicts were sentenced
to penal servitude in all the peniten-
tiaries, as compared with 434 in 1883.
SO. The number discharged in 1882
80 was 348, as compared with 333
in 1889. The increase last wear
was 45 less than the record on june
S0th, 1889, which was 101. 1t is 81
more than on June 30th, 1886, when
the total number was 1900, and 81 less
than on June 30th, 1879, when our
convicts numbered 1918. 1t can be
seen from the totals, at different peri
DDS within the last eleven years, that
year by year there has been fluetua-
ton in the criminal population, which
has seldom varied any year in the
direction of either increase or decrease
more than 30. Taken at its highest
rate since 1870, the percentage of con-
vict criminals is slight-about one in
1000, assuming the population of the
Dominion to be 8 ,ooo, 900.
