,r,-a riner rhan Hair.

We are at work just now on some
pretty small wire. 1t is 1-5O0th of an
inch in diameter-fner than the hair on
vonr head, great deal. Ordinary fine
wire is drawn through steel plates, but
that wouldn't do for this work, because
If the hole wore away ever SO little it
would make the wire larger, and that
would spoil the job. Instead, it is drawn
through what is practically hole in a
diamond. to which there is, of course, no
wear These diamond plates are made
by woman in New York, who has a
monopoly of the art in this country.
The wire is then run through machinery,
which winds it spirally with a layer of
silk thread that is .0015 of an inch in
thickness-even finer than the wire, you
see. This wire is used in making the
receiving instruments of ocean cables,
the galvanometers used in testing cables
and measuring insulation of covered
wires. with Manufacturer.

A Waste of Money.

An actor told the following story the
other evening: He was on train which
was coming into New York. In the
seat before him sat two countrymen
who were evidently on their way to the
theater. They began to talk about
actors, and one of them said: "These
actors get awful big salaries. don't
see how they can afford to pay 'em SO
much. Now there's x. They say
he gets 5000 week and the cast of char
acters. Just think of it'll Two-hun-
dred-dol-lars and the cast-of-char-
ac-ters! And the cast-of-char-ac-
ters! That seems a wicked waste of
moneyv'-New York Tribune.

How Foolscap Was Named.

Everybody knows what 'foolscap" pa
per is, but everybody does not know
how it came to bear that name. In Or
der to increase his revenues Charles
granted certain privileges, amounting to
monopoles, and among these was the
manufacture of paper, the exclusive
right of which was sold to certain par
ties, who grew rich, and enriched the
government at the expense of those who
were obliged to use paper. At that time
all English paper bore the royal arms in
water marks.
The parliament under Cromwell made
sport of this law in every possible man
ner, and among other indignities to the
memory of Charles it was ordered that
the royal arms be removed from the pa
per, and that the FOOLS cap and bells
should be used as substitute. When
the rump parliament was prorogued
these were also removed, but paper of
the size of the parliamentary journals,
which is usually about II by ID inches,
still bears the name of "foolscap."-Har-
per's Young People.

Proving Polarization.

The polarization of the human body
can be proved by allowing a strong cur
rent to flow through the body from one
end to the other, the hands being placed
in two basins connected with the poles
The hands are then dried and placed in
two other basins of water, connected
with the wires of a delicate galvanome-
ter. A current in the reverse direction
to the original one is then found to flow
from the body.-Boston Transcript.

General Dodge Dust Have Lost His Knack

In the early part of 1868, twenty-eight years
ago, General G.. NJ. Dodge, of Iowa. and Gen.
eral NJ. NJ. Bane, of Illinois, now chief of the
contest division, General Land Office, were
by the fortunes of war thrown together as
military officers and socially at Corinth, Miss.
While there together the news came of Cen
eral Burnside's order. suppressing the publ
cation of the Chicago Times for dlslOyal ut
terances. They made this order the subject
of conversation, General Bane remarking that
while probably the Times deserved the treat
ment, yet he believed President Lincoln
would revoke the order.
"Oh, no." replied General Dodge, Lincoln
will never do that"
"Yes, he will" retorted General Bane. he
will never interfere with the freedom OF the
press nor allow il to be done"

Lincoln will never rebuke Burnside's order"
said Dodge.

hands upon the wager.
They separated in a day or two not 10 see
each other again for long, long years. But,
as General Bane had predicted, President
Lincoln revoked the order of General Burn

As soon as General Dodge learned of this he
caused bottle of Green Seal" to be forwarded
TO General Bane which the latter duly. re-
ceived. and which, strange to say, he has kept
carefully ever since, determined that it should
never be opened until some day when both
