Quebec (Canada) scientists say that
one of the greatest discoveries of late
years is that made by a blacksmith Of
that city. 1t is the long lost art known
to the pyramid builders Of Egypt as
hardened copper. The man prepared a
piece Of his hardened copper one inch
and three-quarters Of a line thick and
had it tested at the government rifle
ranges at Quebec. The first shot was
fired from a distance of forty yards, and
the bullet shivered into a thousand frag-
ments. The leading military authori-
ties there express the conviction that il
on further trials in the English dock
yards the discovery maintains the same
superiority, most important results must
follow and existing systems be com
pletely revolutionized. - Philadelphia

During the past three months there
were listed in Portland 326,671 live lob
sters and 20, 1866 canned Holsters. When
we consider the fact that it takes ON an
average the meat of fifty Holsters to fill
ole dozen cans, and that the above fig
ures represent the importation Of more
than 1900 900 Holsters in three months
at this port alone, we get some
idea of the enormou consumption OF

the old inquiry as to how long this drain
upon the rich resources of the coast can
be stood naturally suggests itself

People are beginning to expect an al
most immediate issue Of the new British
coinage. AS a matter of fact, the queen
has still to decide upon the exact de-
signs to DO used, and up tonown no speci-
mems even have been struck. 1t is most
improbable that the public will have
any installment of the new money be-
fore Christmas or perhaps the new
year. Those who have had an oppor-
tunity of seeing the designs are of the
opinion that they will be far superior in
artistic merit to the jubilee issue. But
what the public arc particularly anx-
ious to have, in addition to artistic coin
age, is one in which each coins denomi-
nation may be read upon it. This should
by no means be neglected.-Paris Amer

A BIG INDUSTRY.
Al valuable Addition to Martinsburg's
Enterprises.

Al Valuable Addition to Martinsburg's
Enterprises.
During the past several weeks the
center. Of considerable attraction has
been the Martinsburg Steam Laundry.
The majority of our people were un-
able, heretofore, to conceive the slight
est idea as to what composed such an
enterprise. Aftereverything had been
satisfactorily placed in operation, the
management threw open the doors to
the general public for two days, as an
opening Of the concern. Hundreds Of
people visited the place and took in
the sights, and many Of whom visited
the plant both days determined to see
all that was possible.
The plant is located on South Queen
Street, and occupies a building TOXIC
feet, the front part consisting Of two
stories, with one story in the rear. The
engine room is located at the western
end of the building, in which is CON
tanned a fifteen-horse power engine
that propels the machinery.
The machinery consists Of washing,
ironing, pleating, shirt, collar and cuff
machines Of various kinds also blue
and starch machines, with drying
l
rooms that would almost lead fellow
to believe he was drawing close to a
kingdom warmer than an earthly one.
The building is heated with steam and
lighted by gas, and contains all mod
ern and available improvements. The
plant is one that deserves praise and
encouragement, and Messrs. S. w.
Walker and J. F. Thompson, the prin-
cipal promoters, should be heartily
supported by our citizens, and in a
way that will make for The many wives
kof this community their laundry a
thing Of beauty and a joy forever.
The company does all kinds of work
satisfactorily and unreasonable prices.
They employ at present eleven hands,
and in few days expect to add four
or five more, all women. A delivery
wagon will call for and return your
clothing without extra charge. Wash
lists furnished on application to the
Company's Office at the laundry. Lend
your aid--keep your work and money
at home all helps to make a thriving
and business town.
