IMMIGRATION.

One Of the great questions that is con-
fronting the country today is the necessity
of placing frmer restrictions upon immi-
grafton than now exists. The sentiment is
growing rapidly that something should be
done, and it is earnestly anticipated that
the legislative and executive departments
will soon take action to remedy an evil
which is growing to formidable proper
tions. The immigration question has been
the theme Of an unlimited amount of dis
cussiOn. 1t has been discussed in congress,
in national political conventions, by presi-
dental candidates Of 1892, by distinguished
publicists and representatives Of labor,

THE stuffed prophet is paying very
heavy price for the barren chance of be-
coming president. Every day he is COM
PEELED to ''eat dirt, " repudiate the platform
upon which he was nominated, and at
times is almost led to believe that he didn't
mean what he said in his letter of accept
ance, and last, but by no means least, has
to submit to the sneering and contempt

New York Sun, his inYeterate and most

They will be built by the state and for the

will be, sufficient state pride among our

The four-siory main building Of the Mis-

sion. Brown had recently escaped and was
just returned. IFe stated 10 bis attendants
that it would be all the worse for him and
them if he was again confined. His threat
was soon put into execution and he himself,
unable to escape from the building, was burned
to death, victim OF bis insane deed.
There were go inmates in the building.
most OF whom were asleep when the flames
were discovered. Through the most super

The Adintant BIRD.

When the morning came the men used
to carry traps out on the open mlidaun,
attended by three or four adjutants, who
knew very well " hat treat there was III
store for them, With our binoculars
we could see from the house the poor
rats let loose aud dash OF at their best
pace toward the stables; but grim adj
jutant with his long strides and out
stretched wings soon overlook the rat,
tossed him in the air aud swallowed him.
Occasionally very smart rat would
double under the leading adjutauts legs
but the rat had little chance to escape,
for if it evaded oue pursuer it only ran
into tle mouth of another.
The adjutant may be called a sacred
bird but as this epithet might be mis-
understood rs if it applied to Hindoo

secrated to municipal duty, and is santi-
fed by the protection of municipal law.

Slate

In the minds Of most people, especially
if they are young people, slate is chiefly
associated with mathematical comDuta-
lions and with roofs; but it is now used
for many things besides school states and
roof coverings. Out of il are made
sidewalks, the walls OF dwelling houses,
floors, stairways, doors and window -siIls,
chimney-tops, fence posts, bath-tubs,
managers, mantel- pieces, blackboards and
many other things.
1t can be sawed and worked so &C
curately that bath-tubs aud cisterns are
made perfectly water tight simply by
joining the edges of the slate blocks.
So useful material is naturally a
source of wealth where it is found and
there are deposits in Great Britain, Italy,
France aud other European countries, as
well as in several OF the United States
The most productive American slate
beds are in the central aud eastern parts
of Pennsylvania.
Slate is got out of the ground by
means o. blasting, holes being bored into
it with steam drills. With derricks and
hosting chains the rough slabs are lifted
TO the edge of the quarry, and then they
are rolled upon trucks to the shanty OF
the "splitter." The slate forms natur-
ally in layers, and the 'splitter" follow.
ing the grain or ribbon" with large
chisel, separates the blocks into strips of
about the proper thickness for roofing
slate
Then the slate passes through cut
ting or trimming machine, where, by the
blows OF a heavy knife, the irregular
pieces are cut into rectangular "shiG
giles" Afterward the states are piled up
in ''squates," each square containing
enough to cover one hundred square feet
of roof
In the neighborhood of the Penny
vania quarries one will find houses whose
walls are entirely of slate. The blocks
of which they are made are smoothly
sawed, aud the walls are exceedingly
substantial.
A Pennsylvania factory where various
articles are manufactured of slate con
tains three horizontal saws twelve feet
in length, each of which is furnished
with seventy-tivc cutting diamonds
Probably these arc the most expensive
saws in the world, for each one costs
FIVE thousand three hundred dollars.
There are also in the factory diamond
jig-saws, a circular saw, four planners
2nd other sla,eworking machinery.
The huge horizontal saw which works
upon one of the blocks of slate is lowered
by ratchet at the rate of a quarter of an
inch minute. The saw would cut iron
Or steel at the same rate. Water plays
upon the saws TO keep it cool, and wash
the slate dust from the cut
After the saving, the block is planned
by being moved back aud forth, by ma-
chinery, under firmly fixed chiseI.
Then it is polished, much as marble and
granite are, by means OF rapidly re-
voIving disk of cast-iron called rub
biug- bed, which is kept covered with a
sprinkliug Of fne sand continually sat
urated with water. The slate is bored
by means of diamond pointed drills,
The land was once so little valued
that the tract upon which the famous
Chapman quarry in Pennsylvania is stu,
ated was sold for pint of liquor. Its
subsequent owners have taken millions
of dollars from it.-Youth's Companion.
