"peafonlng" Floors.

From French journal we gain an

bustible by dipping them in a tub OF
thick whitewash AS it is known that
soft substances inclosing air spaces
form mn excellent non.conducting
material to sound, it is thought that
the shavings so treated will be found
OF great service, and 1t is said they
are so incombustible as to add CON
siderable to the tire-ressting proper
ties OF the bui ding. When 1t is desir-
ed to disinfect the space between the
floor and ceiling, the shavings may be
saturated with chloride OF zinc, or the
latter may be added to the lime wash.

Testing Telescope Lenaes.

One OF the most intricate, delicate,
and curious OF mechanical processes
OF the present lay is that OF getting
the correct local power of n telescope
lens. The testing, perhaps hundreds
OF times, is by the aid OF silver mir
ror. On being set before the mirror
u little starlikc ray OF light Is made to
pass through the lens and reelected
back through it from the mirror, but
until nil the inequalities Of density IN
the glass are removed the ray OF light
transmitted is not perfect in shape,
and on this account back and forth
tho lens goes from tho grinding and
smoothing machine to the testing mp
paratus, until the tiny ray OF light is
rs perfect as when It frat leaves the
little lamp which sends il forth. The
grinding apparatus is an ingenious
mechanicism, consisting oftwo cranks,
one OF which revolves seventeen times
to ono time that its fellow moves
around, thus making the lens present

facture is very interesting. They are
forged from good bar steel heated to
redness, each blade being cut of with
sufficient metal to form the shank, or
that destined to become the cutting
part, and bow, or that which later on
is fashioned into the holding portion.
For the bow u small hole is punched.
and this afterward expanded TO tho
required size by hammering it on>u
a conical anvil, after which both shank
aud bow are filed into moro per-
feet shape and the hole bored in
the middle for tho rivet. Tho blades
are next ground and tho handles filed
smooth and FURNISHED with oil and
emery, after which the pairs are tit
ted together and tested as to their
easy working.
They are not yet finished, however.
They have to undergo hardening and
tempering and be again adjusted,
after which they are finally put to-
gether again and polished for tho third
time, In comparing the edges OF
knives and scissors il vii. be noticed,
OF course, that the latter arc not in
any way so sharply ground as the
former and that in cutting, scissors
crush and bruise more than knives.

THE charge that Mr.. Cleveland had
ANYTHING to do with snubbing Speak
err Criap at the Reform Club dinner
is too absurd to be believed by the
worst enemies of the President-elect.
Every act of his life and every at
tribute of his character give the lie
to such a suspicion. He is far TOO
broad to be capable of such a petty
piece of spite. if such it was.
The probabilities are that the whole
blame rests in the stupidity Oh the
committee of arrangements. We do
not believe there was any intention
of humiIiating Crisp. But they
should have borne la mind that the
Sneaker of the House is entitled to
the highest respect by virtue OF MS
office, il not as a man, and it was an
inexcusable blunder to lose sight OF
that fact.
1t was natural that Mr.. Crisp should
be expecting that he would be called
on to speak. The office he holds ls
fourth in honor among all that are
held in this great nation, and ID
second in power only to that OF the
President himself. He should have
had a place on the programme no
matter how many others even OF
greater ability were present.
All THE, however, should have no
effect on the contest for the Speaker
ship of the next House.

How to Make Money.

People want to buy where they can
get the best and the most for their
money. That is what they read
advertisements for; to learn what the
merchant has to sell, and what he
will take for it.
The merchant when he goes to
advertise, considers two things, the
number OF subscribers aud the class
OF sub cribers he eau reach. And
that is what makes the HERALD
valuable to the merchant as an
advertising medium. it goes into
than two es4 20 are "a abe to- buy
There is as much in the last part Of
that sentence as the first, and that Is
why an old paper, that has grown up
with the country and has an estaD-
lished circulation, is more valuable to
advertisers and more appreciated by
them than young paper with nearly
as long list.
When a purchaser goes into store
to buy goods, he IS allowed to look at
the goods. And when an advertiser
is bargaining for space in paper
that claims such and such circula-
ton, he should be allowed to investl-
gate for himself,
That investigation is very easily
made. and a right the HERALD will

issue every week eighty-odd quires
of paper. If you doubt it, come and
count the quires before they go on

papers as they come off. And when
YOU have done that, then we have

Nests of Water Birds.

With all birds, so far Us am able to
learn, the exit is point of observation
for the sitter, from which it can get
view of friends and foes. The owls and
hawks from an elevated position can
command a fine view of the surround
ings. With all aquatic birds the sitter
almost invariably occupies a position
presenting toward the water. Shore
birds, as the sandpipers, rest on their
nests in a position to best view the
stream or pond. Rails and gallinules
face the water, the latter usually build
ing so that they can plunge from their
homes directly into their favorite chan
nels.
The loon, which builds orrather forms
its nest away out from shore i'll mass
of vegetable matter, usually the founda-
ton of an old muskrat's house, invari-
ably faces the open deep water. From
that position it can slide into the lake at
a seconds notice. Amy one can prove
this position of the loon by examining
the premises when the owner is away.
The nest proper is a troughlike depres-
sion, evidently formed by the birds eff
forts at following rather than in build
ing up the sides. This oblong depres-
sion is IL feet long and over 10 inches
wide, and the eggs are always placed
from three -ifths to two-thirds of the dis
lance from the front end.-Science.
