THE ANUS.
An Uncivilized Tribe That Arc Fast Rnn-
ing on

An Uncivilized Tribe That Arc Fast RaIl-
ing ON.
On rocky islands off the coast of ia
pan live queer little hairy people called
the Ainu. They are not Japanese, al
though what beginnings of civilization
they have mastered are strongly influ-
enced by Japanese nrt and manufac-
lures. An English traveller, saws
Hnrper's Young People, has recently
finished journey of one hundred and
forty-six days among these people, who
attacked him, totally destroyed his
sketches and threw his colors and
brushes into the sea when he attempted
to paint them. Like most savages, they
believe that to make portrait brings
bad luck, 1t not sickness and death, upon
the person who is painted. These peo-
pie wear very little clothing in sum-
mer, and In winter dress in bearskins.
with boots made from the skin of tho
salmon. The women tattoo mustaches
upon their faces, and both men and
women wear earrings, or, lacking them,
pieces of colored wood or cloth as q sub
stitute. Their language contains few
words, and an Ainu is rarely found who
can count more than five.
The Alnu do not look much more at-
tractive than monkeys, and do not
seem capable of being taught the arts
of civilized people. In some sections
they are rapidly dying, and the time
will probably come when they with the
Esquimaux will have vanished Off the
earth like many other races of men
whose bones and stone implements sur
vive, but about whom we know next to
nothing

Punching Steel.

Mr.. F. II. Lewis, of the Philadelphia En-
gineers' club, in paper on the use of soft
steel in bridges, said:
1t is desirable to place limit on the
thickness of punch II steel. The thicker
the material the greater is the danger
caused by punchin2 Recent tests made
show that punching Injuries steel less than
iron, up TO say three quarters of an inch
thickness, at which point the two materials
Rre about equal in this respect Beyond
this point the value If steel after punching
decreases quite rapidly as the thickness in
Creascs.
In iron the percentage seems to be much
more constant, the range being only from
s. to - per cent. The character of the
fracture after punching is also materially
affected by the thickness of the material,
rs was seen by examining the photographs
submitted. Mr. Lewis proposes to limit
to e-half inch the thickness of mate
rial subjected to punching, except that
in girders over fifty feet long it may be
nine-sixteenths of an inch, in top chords
and end posts five-cghths of an inch, and in
shoes, pedestals and bcdplates. three-quar
tiers of an inch.

Volcanic Eruptions and the Moon.

According to Science NJ. Palmieri, direc-
tor of the Nesuvian observatory, is respon-
sible for the statement that all the great
truptions of Vesuvius take place at the
new or full MOON and especially eclipses.
The eclipse of June II, 1890, was accom-
panied by violent earth currents. On the
Dther hand, Captain de Montessus, who
has patiently accumulated observations
and data concerning earthquakes, has now
q catalogue of more han 10000 of these
phenomena individually discussed. He es-
tablishes that earthqu axes are distributed
uniformly throughout the day and night,
that they have no relation to moon culmi-
nations and astronomical seasons, and
that such condolences which have been
claimed in the past rest on insufficient

Iron Turnings in Cast, Foundations.

\ very simple method OF laying the
foundations for low wooden building to
be used for storage of machinery ON a
swampy location which did not furnish a
firm subsoil is described by Engineering:
Casks were set in holes in the ground
along the line of posts and were filled to
the depth of about one foot with iron turn
ings. The posts were set in the casks,
which were then fllel with iron turnings
rompactly rammed in place. A solution
of salt and water was then slowly poured
over these turnings, which compactly so
lidified into hard mass. The heat of the
oxidation of the iron was so great that
the posts smoked and were charred the
latter fact probably being the reason why
they have not as yet exhibited any signs of
decay, and in this aspect the use of iron
turnings furnishes an advantage over the
use of concrete for cask foundations"

\ Daughter of Eve.


1t was Saturday evening, on Sixth
street, just before dark.
Two little rubbery chunks of brown
scuttled over the uneven sidewalk,
around rickety wooden steps, and b.
the banging stable doors, in mad haste
for a hiding place, while the third
plunged her shiny little face into the
depths of very doubtful blindness, amid
her spreading pudgy fingers, against the
whitewashed weather boarding, and
shrilly piped in the dusky air:
Gone two-th'ee- fo'- fiv' -six-seben-a-ni-
ten. Hi spy, lucky fly, debble git yo

A sudden, unexpected rush from be

hands spanked the wall like drum.

Two big, fat, round, suggestive eyes
rolled over until they bore direct upon
the putting Clement.na.
''Wher ish she:' whispered the ebon
Lily's most wheedling tone
"Ain't ergonter tell. You jus 90

the boards with decision and virtuous
vacancy.
But Lily never budged. Her stubby
little toes We're pi@eoned against the
curb. Her big eyes rolled obviously up
and down the bounds of the game. Then
subtle CLEAN crossed those midnight
orbs. In Il manner that was careless
calmness, nonchalance and serpentine
suggestiveness all in one, she poiled her
hand into her dauby little pocket. Com

ruptiblc Clemcu,ina, glazing up at the
cold sky and hustling her hands behind
! her, out of temptations way.
But Lily either did not hear or did
not heed. Her face was Sphynxlike,
and her calm voice went softly on, "Om
got two pieces er wax" and she pumped
one in her mouth and smacked her full
| lips lusciously.
Don't keer? Amt ergonter tell, no

but Clementina's mouth began to water
at the corners, and she swallowed hard.

stretched placidly out to the tortured
Clementina, who closed her eyes hun
grily.
"Umpah! Ah-h-h! Huff uff-uff!' pulled
the wicked Lily, waiting her sugary

A grimy hand crept out from the

her very shoes, gasped, "B'hind tn

Unbrcukahlc Glass.

OF the various attempts to replace brittle
glass by = similarly transparent but fieXi-
bic resisting body, that of the Austrian en-
gineer Herr Ecksteiu is worthy of record.
His process, rs des riJrd by The Industrial
World, is as follows From four to eight
parts of collodiOn wGrl are dissolved in l
per cent in weight OF ether or alcohol this
solution is mixed with from to / per cent.

balsam. This mix urr is spread on glass
plate and dried under the influence of a
current of hot ali, by which it is trans
formed in short space of time into trans
parent, hard, vitreous plate, the thickness
of which can be regulated as desired. The
material thus obtained is said to resist the
action OF salts, alkalies and acids, and is
odorless. The advantages which it pos
sesses over glass are that it is flexible and
almost unbreakablc. Its inflammabilityi is
much inferior to that of other collodion
combinations, and il can be further reduced
by the addition OF magnesium chloride,
while an admiXturt of zinc white produces

held their annual holiday entertainment, a
little in advance of Christmas AS one en-
tered the church an involuntary tribute of
admiration was excited by the beautiful and
artistic decorations. The altar was massed
with cedar, crow foot and Fall flowers, and
large arch, handsomely trimmed, spanned
the stage. At the rear Of the rostrum was
large cross Illuminated with appropriate
scriptural selections The choir, TO the right,
rendered music of the highest order TO the
accompaniment of the cornet, played by
Mr.. Vernon Watkins, which for melody and
rhythm was most pleasing. The scholars, TO
the left, with smiling faces, greeted the au-
dience as they entered The church was
filled 10 its utmost capacity. Te exercises
were Of most pleasing character The
committee having the arrangement of them
evinced most excellent taste in the selection
of the Rotations, which were varied from
the instructive 10 the amusing-the pupils
all performing their parts most admirably
One piece, with eighteen pupils, with lad
der holding nine notices illustrated by the
recitation of verses corresponding, was very
effective. One could see that much inter

inspired the officers, as well as awakened
the enthusiasm Of the pupils, and Of course
