Cutting and Moving an Obelisk.

The obelisks of the pharaohs are made
of red granite called syenite. In the quar-
ries at Syene may yet be seen an unfinished
obelisk, still adhering to the native rock,
with traces of workmen's tools so clearly
seen on its surface that one might suppose
they had been suddenly called away, and
intended soon to return and finish their
work.
This unfinished obelisk shows the mode
in which the ancients separated these i'm
mense monoliths from the native rock. In
a sharply cut groove marking the bound
airy of the stone are holes evidently de-
signed for wooden wedges After these
had been firmly driven into the holes, the
groove was filled with water. The wedges,
gradually absorbing the water, swelled
and cracked the granite throughout the
length of the groove. The block, once de-
tached from the rock, was pushed forward
upon rollers made of the stems of palm
trees, from the quarries to the edge of the
Nile, where it was surrounded by large
timber raft.
1t lay by the river side untilthe next in
undaton of the Nile, when the rising
waters floated the raft and conveyed the
obelisk down the stream to the city where
it was to be set up. Thousands of willing
hands pushed it on rollers up an inclined
plane to the front of the temple, where it
was designed to stand. The pedestal had
previously been placed in position and
firm causeway of sand covered with planks
led to the top of it. Then by means of
rollers, levers and ropes made of the date
palm the obelsk was gradually hoisted
into an upright position.
1t speaks much for the mechanical accu-
racy of the Egyptian masons that so true
was the level of the top of the base and
the bottom of the long shaft that in no
single instance has the obelisll been found
to be out of the true perpendicular

Japan Judas Tree.

Every one knows the Judas tree. A
species grows in the south of Europe. and
popular tradition has called it the Judas
tree, from tradition that it was the tree
on which Judas hung himself after having
betrayed the Saviour. 1t is said the flowers
were white before, but, as if the tree itself
was shocked at the enormity of the offence
of Judas, its flowers forever afterward be-
came red as blood. The European species
is called Cercis siliquastrum. In America
there is also a species of Judas tree, which
is Cercis canadensis. 1t makes a consider
able sized tree, although usually seen more
as bush or shrub 1t very much resem-
bles the Judas tree of Europe, but the
flowers are paler, and there are of course
some other botanical differences
From Japan we have now another
species, or rather it has been in cultivation
for the past twenty years, more or less, but
is yet not as well known as it deserves to
be. 1t is much dwarfer than the forms of
Europe and America, and has much
larger, thicker and more shining foliage
The two species above seem to be mass Of
flowers in early spring, and on this account
one has been called in America ''red bud
tree" but the beauty of these can in no
way compare with that of this Japan
species

COrting Iron with Copper.

A process has been introduced for pro
tecting steel and iron by means of coat
ing of copper When the invention was
first made it was applied to the construc-
ton of telegraph wires, but since then
further developments of the process have
enabled it to be employed in the manufac-
ture of complete ship plates. The method
employed is similar to that of the old silver
plating process, in which plates of the two
metals were rolled together without any
chemical or electrolytic means being en-
ployed.
A short copper ingot is cast on core of
iron or steel; the copper is shorter than the
core, and not placed symmetrically, but so
disposed toward one end that the unequal
travel of the coating, when afterward eX
tended by rolling may be compensated
for. Save for the provision of special groov-
ing of the rollers to prevent the formation
of fins of the softer metal, the subsequent
operations are conducted in the ordinary
way. Advantage is taken of the retention
of heat by the steel core to diminish the
excessive ductility of the copper by chill
ing the covering. When the porosity of
the coat of copper and the difficulty in OBJ
tanning perfect adherence is overcome, the
process will become commercial success.

New Method of Washing.

A method of washing is being extensive
ly adopted in Germany and Belgium. One
of its special advantages is that it counter
acts the ill effects of soda, which is much
used in Europe upon linen. Two pounds
of soda are dissolved in three gallons of
water and to this is added a teaspoonful
Of turpentne and three of liquid ammo
mia. When the mixture has been well
stirred the linen is STEPPED in it for two or
three hours. During the operation the
vessel is closed as tightly as possible, and
afterward the clothes are washed out and
rinsed in the usual manner
The soap and water may be used again
with the addition of half teaspoonful of
turpentine and a tablespoonful of ammo
mia. The process is said to save time, labor
and fuel. AS there is no necessity for rub
bling the linen scarcely suffers, and its
cleanliness and color are perfect. The
ammonia evaporates Immediately, and the
smell of the turpentineis said to disappear
entirely during the drying of the clothes.
