Mahogany in Great Demand.

There is probably more mahogany inn
ported to New York now than ever be-
fore, and the wood is put to a greater
variety of uses than at any time since
its beauty was first discovered to the
world. 1t is true that old mahogany
brings enormous prices, and that archi-
tects eagerly watch the destruction Of
old buildings for the sake of purchasing
stair rails and mantelpieces of mahog-
any for new houses. But the gaudy
barrooms now so popular demand more
new mahogany in year than was ever
consumed in a like period for the dining
tables of our grandfathers. The largest
logs, when not sawed up into veneer, 20

Almost Perpetual Motion.

1t is not generally known that novel
motor is running at the patent office in
Washington, and has been for many years,
which to some minds seems to fulfill the
conditions of perpetual motion. The in
ventor made this claim, but it is hardly
correct, according to The Industrial World,
which says: perpetual motion is said to
exist in a machine that when once started
will continue to run until worn out
This machine operates by the power given
out in different expansion Of metals under
varying conditions, and is so small and
carefully constructed that if there was alb
solutely no change in temperature of the
room it would run when once started
thirty-eight days before stopping. If it
were possible to put it in some place for
this length of time, as the center Of the
earth. where the temperature would be
constant, it would stop, so does not fulfill
the condition of perpetual motion; but that
cannot be done where the machine now is,
so it has run for a great many years with
out stopping. and probably will continue
to run until it wears ont"

crystal assumes varied and beautiful
forms, SO ice crystallizes into six rayed
stars. 1t is to Professor Tyndall that the
world is chiefly indebted for the descrip-
tons of snow crystals and ice flowers He
describes snow shower as a shower of
frozen flowers. when snow is produced
in calm air." he says, the icy particles
build themselves into stellar shapes, each
star possessing six rays" We reproduce
some drawings of snow crystals from the
professors book, Heat as a Mode of Mo-
ton" Hear him once again. Let us i'm
agine the eye gifted with microscopic
power sufficient TO enable US to see the
molecules which compose those starry
crystals; to observe the solid nucleus
formed and floating in the air; to see it
drawing toward it its allied atoms, and
these arranging themselves as if they
moved to music and ended by rendering
that music concrete This six rayed star
is typical of lake ice also.
Snow sometimes reaches US in a partly
melted condition. Under these circum-
stances it is called sleet, and snow being
much lighter than rain lice is lighter than
water it descends less directly and repre-
sents about one-tenth the depth of the
rainfall. The use of snow in warming the
earth is universally acknowledged, and as
it is such bad conductor man in a snow
hut will soon become unpleasantly warm.
Ice is only water in another form, and
snow is ice, and it is the air in the snow
that gives it warming properties. These
are all simple facts, which any one by OBJ
servation and careful reading and study
may soon ascertain for himself. We have
another frozen fall of water from the
clouds, viz, hail, which may possibly be
the development of sleet. Hail is formed
by the falling rain being frozen in its de-
scent, or when different currents meet in
the atmosphere, a hailstorm is accom-
panied with rushing sound, as if the hail
