In the manufacture of lead pencils the
graphite Is first ground with water between
French burr wheels until 1t is sufficiently
fine and even, three or four weeks being
sometimes required. The paste is then
dried in pans for about "a hours, broken
into smnll pieces and ground again to an
even consistency, 1t is then mixed with
clay, the proportion Of clay md graphite
determining the hardness OF the pencil.
This mixture is then forced through a
cylinder perforated at the lower end with IL
hole the size OF the finished lend. The paste
emerges In the form Of n long stringlike
spigetti, which the operative breaks off in
lengths of about two feet and arranges in
grooves In u horizontal board.
II the finished leads are to be used in pen.
ell cases, the strings are cut Off in proper
lengths with a knife. They are then dried
naturally for some time and afterward
roasted In an oven, being finally polished
by rubbing against each other in shaking
tray. The leads for use in "A wood mount
ing are unpublished. The wood iswell glued;
then the leads are covered with mucilagc
and placed in the grooves and covered with
another strip of wood. the pencil thus
formed being placed with number OF
others in tightly clamped iron frame, in
which they dry. The pencil is then finished
by a revolving knife, which trims the wood
and leaves it ready for the polishing and
vanishing, which are done by hand ST.

At the garrison town OF Maria-Theresia-
nopel in Hungary the ladies have been get
ting into the habit Of taking with them to
the theater plush bags OF various sizes and
colors, in which they kept all their para
phernalia, such as opera glasses, sweets,
handkerchieis, smelling bottles, etc. The
sight OF q row OF these receptacles dangling
over the ledge OF the dress circle and boxes
was, to say the least, peculiar, while the
incessunt manipulation Of these ornamental
appendices by their fair owners had the
effect of diyerting the attention of the au
dience from the proceedings on the stage
To make matters worse the fashion
caught on" among the lower classes, and
Biddy, strolling in the park ut the side Of
her faithful trooper, was sure to have a
plush bag swinging in her hand.
The SAID fashion Is now dead.
1t came to pass in this wise. Last week,
and for several nights In succession, the of
ilcers Of the hussars quartered at NJ
bought up all the front seats in the boxes
and dress circle aud turned up at the per-
Torrance carrying on their arms an orli-
nary forage bag somewhat less than the
usual size, which they slung over the ledge
in Imitation of the ladies. The joke created
no little amusement, and roars OF laughter
shook the house when the officers produced
from their bags opera glasses, monocles,
sweets handkerchiefs and here and there a
tobacco pouch or snuilboX. Since then
the plush bags have disappeared from the

To appreciate wave force and what may
be termed tho throwing power Of a wave,
let IL be understood that in the winter OF

was torn from its iastenings, although sit

INST, In Shetland islands, door was burst
In at height OF l05 feet above the Lowell Of

wave force recorded were witnessed at Wick

. to 10 tons were built in above tho line OF
high water first with hydraulic lime, then
with Roman and last with Portland &c.

the most learned engineers in England to
be capable OF withstanding the assaults OF
the ocean for ages, but in October, 1861,
over 800 feet Of this giant barrier was swept
away.
In 1879 monolithic block, 1850 tons,
was lifted bodily and carried to leeward Of

heavier concrete mass, weighing 2,000 tons,
which had replaced the former, was swept
