ed by its two ends and bending by its own
weight
The flexibility Of itacolumite is readily
understood when the stone is examined
with the microscope. All sandstone con-
sists of separate grains of sand transformed
into solid rock by some cementing material
which has percolated in solution between
the grains. This cement varies in its ma
ture, and may consist of carbonate of lime,
oxide of iron, silica or many other sub
stances, even. including in few rare in
stances native silver and copper. All these
ordinary sandstones are rigid and brittle
but in itacolumite the grains are cemented
together by mineral closely resembling
mica or sericite These minerals, being
quite flexible in themselves, confer the
same property upon the sandstone as
whole. In Fig. is shown microscopic
view by polarized light of piece of this
stone ground SO thin that it is transparent.
The separate grains of sand {silica), each
surrounded by a coating Of the flexible CO.
menting material, are very plainly indi-
Gated.
The way in which the cementing ma
terial was introduced into the itacolumite
is not easy Of explanation. Mica and seri-
cite are not soluble and could not have
been deposited by water, like calcite or

The New Expsndinr Bullet,

An English military officer has designed
q bullet which Is claimed to meet the OBJ
jections made against the small bore pro-
jectile. The present size of bullet adopted
by most governments has been found to
pass through living animals in less sensi-
tive parts without their being apparently
aware that they had been struck at all.
This is due to the combination of high We
loctty and small diameter. II the bullet
strikes bone the effect Is different, be-
cause the bone splinters terribly under .
blow at high velocity. The Industrial
World describes this bullet as having a
mantlet or case, which is closed at the base
and open at the head, the mantlet ending
about half way between the shoulder and
the point. The result IL that on impact
the head spreads, so as to make the bullet,
after having the advantage Of a small d.
ameter in fight, to become on striking
practically one of large bore, the main diff
ference being that the energy consists more
in velocity and less in weight than was the
case in an old large bore ball. It is said
also to be much more efficient against thin
iron or steel plate for the same reason
namely, that 1t makes much larger hole
and to act particularly well In oblique i'm
pact.

silica. 1t is most probable that they were
originally introduced in the form Of clay
or some similar material, and afterward
metamorphosed by heat, pressure and
superheated steam into micaceous mineral.
Instances of similar change of one min
eral species into another are very common.
Itacolumite is also remarkable for the
precious minerals and metals occurring in
It. Scales of gold and diamonds are abun-
dant, and the celebrated gold and diamond
bearing sands of Brazil have been largely
formed by the disintegration of this rock,

A Number of Familiar Happenings That
Arc Believed to Bring Bad Luck.
It is considered unlucky for the mother
and her baby to go out Of doors until the
child is baptized; for the child to be bap-
tized in Scotch church, but lucky for the
child to be christened in the house 1t was
born In; for lovers to be engaged with q
ring containing either opals or emeralds;
for lovers to give either Bible as present
before marriage; to be married in month
where the letter A is, such as May; to be
married in Scotch church, unlucky for
any of the wedding guests to be dressed In
green or black, a black Grape bonnet or q
band on a gentleman's hat; these accidents
entail lifelong misery to the new married
couple. 1> -. a Sssrt
A young woman who tries on q Widows
cap is sure to be widow after marriage.
1t is unlucky to try on your bridal dress be-
fore the bridal day; to see your future hus-
band on the day of the marriage until the
ceremony. Unlucky to marry out of your
own position--that is, a lady. to marry a
servant or vice versa; unequal marriages
bring ungrateful children. To bring flow
ering hawthorn into house denotes a
death in the family. If timepiece or
clock stops unexpectedly you will get inti-
nation Of death; if corpse is kept un-
buried over Sabbath another death OF a
relation will follow before another year or
twelve months have elapsed; hence so
many funerals in Scotland on Sabbath
afternoon. Unlucky to wind or roll up
wool or knitting yarn after sunset, only
winding trouble and care to the winder or
knitter. A cat washing its face with its
paws before the fire is a sign OF wet day;

Hardening Of varnishes.

1t is supposed by many that all varnish
is dry on the surface before 1t hardens
through, and that only careful examine
ton is necessary before applying the second
coat. As q matter of fact, however, ac-
cording to The Carpenter and Builder, the
reverse is the case with high class var
nishes, which invariably harden from the
bottom upward. This should be well borne
in mind, and several days should always
be allowed for proper hardening and dry
ing before fattening down for the second
coat A change Of temperature may cause
a varnish to dry at one time much slower
than at another, and therefore a change
of weather has always to be taken into ac-
count. Cold drafts may strike varnish and
render it fatal to its proper bearing out; in
fact, no varnish should be applied in frosty
weather, as the properties are utterly de-
stroyed by it, Then an oily brush or too
full undercoat and insufficient time for the
hardening of it are certain to affect the re-
suits, and will often necessitate the revar-
nishing of the work.
Charles Lamb said concerning hospital
ity: May we be branded for the veriest
churl If we deny our heart to the many noble
hearted friends that at times exchanged
their dwelling for our poor roof 1t is not
of guests that we complain, but Of endless,
purposeless visitants; troopers in, as they
are called. We sometimes wonder from
what sky they fall"

THE IRISH GIANT AND THE LITTLE POLISH
COUNT.
less than three feet in height, yet he was OF
perfect proportions. He spent many years
in travelling about to various places, and
several amusing anecdotes are related Of
him.
The story is told that on one occasion
O'Brien. the Irish giant, who stood feet
Inches high in his stockings, having been
invited to appear before some gentlemen
at dinner, while the guests were looking
up with wonder at his towering stature,
suddenly drew from his pocket the little
Polish count and placed him on the table,
to the amazement and admiration of all
who were present.
1t is curious that giants, who are SO very
tall, have, it is said, very short lives, sell
dom living much beyond forty, while
dwarfs, who are short generally, have long
ones. The life Of this tiny Pole was
stretched out to the age of ninety-eight.
In 1907 a clergyman of Durham, England,
who had met the little count on his travels,
prevailed upon him to take up his resi-
dence in the neighborhood of that city, and
there he spent the last forty years of his
life.-As he was clever and witty, spoke
several languages and was of very engag
ing manners, he was much courted and
admired in the society of Durham until
his death, which took place in 1887

A VILE scoUNDREL.

George Taylnr's Disgustiog Ohense
Lands Him ia jail.
An unspeakab wretch WAS uDearthed
yesterday by Officer Twobig and landed
in the city Jail. The name he gave at
the station lie George Taylor, and he is
an ugly looking fellow, about 45 years of
age.
Early in the afternoon four boys were
playing in and along the river bank,
east of the Santa Fe depot, when the
fellow came along. As be came up to
the boys he exposed his person to them,
offering them five cents. The boys
ranged from IL to IA years and the
actions of the brute frightened them.
One OF them ran all the way up town
and found Officer Twohig, who went
down to the viaduct. AS he approached
the viaduct, Taylor was sitting down at
the west end of it. When he saw the
officer coming he jumped up and ran as
fast as he could over the viaduct.
Officer Twohig pursued him, and cap
tured him when he was about two-thirds
of the way across. He had very little
to say. The case will come up today,
and the boys who were present will be
on hand as witnesses. There were two
men also who witnessed the affair, and
they also have been secuaed as wit
nesses. The boys are respectable boys.
