Keeping Il. Warm.

1t is often said that residents Of the
extreme North do not feel the cold so
keenly as the records of the mercury
would lead one to expect.
This fact, if it is fact, may perhaps
be accounted for in more ways than
one, but the explanation offered by
Mr.. Julian Ralph in his book ION Can
nda's Frontier seems to be adequate.
He says that the reason why the peo-
Pile do not suffer more from the low
temperature is because ''every one puts
on everything. he owns-all his stock
ings ut once, all his flannel shirts and
drawers, all his coats on top of one an
other-and when there is nothing left,
draws over all II blanket suit, pair OF
moccasins, q tuque, and whatever pairs
of gloves he happens to be able to find
or borrow"

touch the oak, but the gas that pro-

upon the tonic acid contained in the
oak, browning it SO deeply that shaw

without removing the color. The depth

Margarine.

The name of margarine has been
given to new alloy brought forward
in Germany as material of great re
sisting power, and which consists of
copper, nickel and manganese. The
specific resistance of this article is
given as forty-two microhm cent?
metres; that is higher even than that
of nickeline, which has hitherto passed
as the best resisting metal. An
other advantage of margarine
is it's behavior under variations
of heat, the resistance, it is claimed,
being affected only in a minute degree
by high temperatures; on this account
it is adapted to the manufacture of
measuring instruments and of electro
cal instruments in general, those which
are required to vary their resistance to
as slight degree as possible under
different degrees of heat. A further
interesting fact is mentioned, namely,
that while other metals increase their
resistance by the raising of the tenn
perature, that of margarine is dimin
ished

Charley Mitchell's unsuccessful efforts

by the magistrate at Bow street when
he went to surrender himself to serve
the sentence of two months at hard
labor from which he had appealed,
Mitchell proceeded last evening to
Pentonville prison and wanted to be

without the usual order of committal,
and the prize fighter was compelled to
go away disappointed. AS the time

of Pentonville prison to be taken into
Jail, saying he was willing for his part
to go on the treadmill or to picking
oalSum or to do anything else, and
would waive any formality about the
warrant of committal. The Governor
replied that it would give him great
pleasure to accommodate Mitchell and
he might be able to do so at later
date, but that the prison rules were
infleXible and that it would be vio-
lation of those rules to accept any one
not duly committed. Mitchell re-
marked to-day that he had no idea 1t

that he would not have appealed had

OIL y.r.u. Wood.

One of the most extensive concerns
In Maine has for some time been ex-
perimenting on an ingenious process of
burning lime with oil instead of with
wood, the result, as it appears, being
of very satisfactory character. At
this establishment the Oil for use at
the kilns is stored for the purpose IN a
huge tank holding more than 10000
gallons, from which it is pumped as de-
sired into pressure tank of $50 gal
Ions capacity, and a 2o-pound pressure
is applied. The oil is purified by pass
ing through water, and meter is at
tached to the kiln. Each kiln has two
arches, and two pipes run to each arch;
one pipe carries the oil, the other
steam to force the burning oil up
among the limerick. The effect Of
this arrangement is the production OF
an intense heat, making it necessary
70 draw eight times a day. The lime
thus produced Is described as whittier
than that burned with wood, and of
better quality.

An Ingenious Invention.

An ingenious inventor In Norway
claims to have realized the much-felt
desidera,tum of soldering metal for
aluminium. 1t consists in combining
cadmium, zinc and tin, mixed in sub
stantially the following proportions:
Fifty parts cadmium, twenty parts
zinc and the remainder of tin; the zinc
being first melted in any suitable YES
sci, the cadmium is added to this, and
then the tin in pieces-the mass to be
well heated, stirred and poured. The
proportions of the various ingredients
may be varied in accordance with the
use to which the substance is to be put.
Thus, where strong and tenacious
soldering is required, a larger proper
ton OF cadmium may be used where
great adhesion is desired, larger pro-
portion of zine would be essential; and
in case of an attractive and durable
polish being sought, greater per
cent of tin would be called for. The
alloy produced in this manner-inde-
pendent of its use as solder for
aluminun-is light in weight and
capable of taking a very considerable
polish; and though, as soldering
metal, it can be satisfactorily en-
ploycd for variety of the ordinary
metals, experience shows it to be of
special adaptation to aluminium.

About Wood Pavement.

A writer in Engineering gives some
of the results of his investigations into
the character of wood pavement in
large cities, the conclusion being that,
pavements of this description have
usually been laid after the manner of
those of stone, such a method is by no
means the most desirable, as, in effect,
it produces a surface composed of two
materials differing entirely in struct-
ure, strength and wearing qualities
Under these circumstances, it is urged,
the wood is comparatively tough
and elastic, while the grout-
ing is friable and unyielding;
the grouting becomes rapidly
pulverized by the traffic, and its sur
face soon falls below the general level
of the wood; the unsupported edges Of
the wood blocks begin to wear away,
becoming round-backed, and the slight
depression above and alongside each
joint fills with mud and dirt; further,
the rumbling noise of traffic passing
over wood blocks is almost entirely
due to the slightly round-backed form
that each course of blocks assumes.
Thus, when street so paved has been
cleaned, although it may present a
smooth surface to the eye. 1T will be
found that the interstices have been
filled up by a greasy mixture of mud,
dirt, and pulverized wood-a surface
obviously not adapted as suita BILE
foothold for horses.

OUR ST. LOUIS LETTER.
Unique Advertising Dsvices-The Bou'e'
ward Law Observation-Disclosures Kali
road Mall Cars.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 15.-The merchants
to SELL pay handsomely for the ideas
their advertising agents give them.
The streets are crowded with people
ready to buy, and yet bewildered by
the alluring shows IN the big windows
of every shop, and the tradesman who
holds the throng for few minutes in
front of his place is sure to make
money by 1t. This week one merchant
got an idea that set his competitors at
their wits end to compete with him.
He had an enormous show window, in
full view of the street, filed with his
most attractive and expensive toys,
mechanical and otherwise, and put two
little boys in it. All day long the
youngsters played with the figures
winding them up and letting them run
out; shot at targets with guns and
COWS and lay down and looked at
gorgeous picture books. The street in
front was blockaded with people, and
inside the clerks were kept busy selling
the things with which the lads were
playing. The idea has spread over the
town, and boys who like to play with
toys can easily get places in every one
of the shops now,
Postmaster Harlow could have
chosen no better time than this, when
the mails are crowded with Christmas
presents. and the carriers worn out
with overwork, for the extension Of
the street railway postal service he es-
tablished some time ago.
st. Louis is the only city in the coun-
try that has such thing, and the
him. lie started the system on line
of electric cars, running twenty miles
east and west, and found that it saved
a score of carriers and several hours
in city deliveries. He has now decided
to improve the system by adding u
cross-town line to it, SO that the peo-
pie living in the north and south will
get their mails quickly as well as
those in the west and east. The other
electric lines will be added to the sys-
TEN as fast as the government can be
induced to make the necessary appro-
priations.
The courts have just sustained the
boulevard law of the city, and the
effect is already seen in q great in
crease of the number Of permits taken
out by builders for costly dwellings on
: the broad avenues which the law vas
designed to protect from the intrusion
Of business. No shop or structure in
intended for any commercial purpose
whatever can be built on the boule-
wards. They are reserved entirely for
residences, churches and club-houses.

which have the right to run along the

strange doings in the vicinity of his
little cabin. In the midst of the Wild
est scenes the scientist, astronomer
and hermit was found by a Pittsburg
Commercial-Gazette man. OF all the
hobbies that this man rides one is para
mount, and has been the cause of his
leaving civilization that he might study
and experiment alone with nature.
That hobby is flying machine.
Cressler's continuance is not ma
chine,snor is it built to antagonize, but
rather to utilize, the forces of nature.
He says the school boys kite comes
nearer to the ideal flying machine
than any intricate and labored effort
Of million fond experiments. Being
taxidermist, with wonderful eye
for nature, he has scores of hawks in
his cabin poised in all the positions
assumed for flying. Some of these at.
titudes to layman's eye appear
extremely awkward, but the
scientists explanations are plausi-
BILE and his proofs convincing.
His machine is made to be worn like
an ordinary suit, but when donned 1t
nnfolds marvellous possibilities. 1t fits
like glove and is manipulated in
stinctively as part Of the body, each
muscle or arm and leg and body exer-
cising itself at the proper time. The
wearer rises perpendicularly in the air
and then throwing out the bat-shaped
wings floats orrather scars at ease, not
descending as one would naturally sup
pose; but If a wind is blowing he
rather rises with it, making no effort
to combat the air current, but adapt
ing his fight to its strength and tilt
ing his wings, which are enormous
but light as possible, to guide his
flight In fact Cressler does not fly,
he rather scars. To this one end he
has bent all his energies of mind and
body for years.
