Antiauity OF The Saw.

The saw is an instrument of high an
tiquliy, its invention being attributed to
either De lalus or to his nephew Perdlx,
also called Talos, Who, having found the
jaw of a serpent aud divided piece OF
wood with it, was led to initiate the
teeth in iron. Ii a bass-relief pub
lished by Winckelmau, D@ lalus is rep
resented holding saw approaching very
closely in form to the Egyptian saw. st.
Jerome seems clearly to allude to the
circular saw, which was probably used,
as at present, in cutting veneers. There
are also limitations of the use of the CEN
tire bit, and even in the time of Cicero 1t
was employed by thieves. Pliny men
tions the use of the saw in Ancient Bel
gium for cutting white building stone;
some of the oolitic and cretaceous rocks
are still treated in the same manner, both
in that part Of the Continent and IN the
south OF England. In this case Pliny
must be understood to speak of proper
or toothed saw. The saw without teeth
was then used just as it is now by the
workers in marble, end the place OF
teeth was suppliel, according to the
hardness of the stone, either by emery
or by various kinds of sand OF inferior
hardness. In this manner the ancient
artifcers were able to cut slaba OF the
hardest rock, which consequently were
adapted to receive the highest polish,
such as granite, porphyry, lapis-lazuli
end amethyst. Scientific American.

A Raca With q WatsrspOlt.

The British steamship Amur, Captain
Rouse, from Caibarein, dropped anchor
of Gloucester, N. j., on recent night
and Ter outward appearances foretold
the thrilling experiences she hac with
the elements. When on the southern
edge of the gulf stream, the steamer
had an escape from destruction by a
waterspout, which fortunately passed
under her stern not many yards from the
ship.
The first seen of this monstrous dis
turbauce was in the shape OF heavy
c,oud on the horizon directly to the
windward. But as it drew near it ap-
pcared as though it would overtake the
ship aud send all on board to the
bottom. 1t was desperate struggle to
get out of its way and the ship already
in a disabled condition, the engineer
stood by with the engines wide open,
realizing it was a race for life. Nearer
and nearer the dangerous water column
drew to the ship, but BY the time the
noise of its approach met the ears OF tne
crew the ship had gotten north to place
of safety. 1t passed the Amur's stern
with deafening noise. 1t quickly
passed and disappeared.
The same evening the wind freshcd
up and by midnight was blowing gale,
the ship driving directly under the
waves and sweeping from her decks
everything movable. The tarpaulins on
the matches were washed away, ports
were sealed and boat coverings torn
away. A tremendous sea from the
northeast still continued and decks were
started through the immense pressure
brought about by the great quantities OF
water that was being continually
shipped. Everyone on board were more
or less injured through the ships terrific
rolling, and Captain Rouse pronouuces
it the worst passage he ever experienced.

Danger in Feather Spring Rifles.

Army authorities are in great fear that
the new magazine rifles now in use In the
British army will be the cause OF the
death Of many soldiers, because it goes
off so lightly that man, after being
shot, may in the death spasm pull the
trigger and shoot some of his comrades,
or that even the moving of the body may
discharge the weapon. 1t IS therefore
ordered that two men shall be detained
from each company to follow the line in ac.
ton, ,and when man falls to Immediately
remove the magazine from his rifle and
carry it away. The opponents to the use
of the new rifle say that this looks to
them to be very clumsy arrangement
and one likely to counteIbalance the ra-
pidity of firing gained by the use OF
these feather spring weapons. - New

Tho nnratinn of a Dream.

Those learned and scientific gentlemen
who have gone into the subject declare
the longest dreams hardly last few
minutes. The following instance lends
support to their views: One evening
Victor Hugo was debating letters to his
secretary. Overcome by fatigue the
great man dropped into slumber. A
few moments afterward he awoke,
haunted By a dream, which, as he
thought, extended over several hours'
and he blamed his secretary for sitting
there waiting for him instead of waken-
ing him or else going away. What was
his surprise when the bewildered secre-
tary told him that he had only just
finished writing The last sentence dictated
to him.
