A new process of tempering a
14-inch Harveyized armor plate
was tested at Bethlehem, Pa, re-
Gently. Heretofore this was done
by ejecting ice water against a
redhot plate in a vertical position,
with the result that the water was
made boiling the instant it touched
the upper end of the plate, and
the heated water running down
did not have the proper effect on
the rest of the plate. In the new
process the plate was laid down in
a specially prepared frame, the
water was made ice cold by treat
ing it with salt, and was then led
to a large sprinkler lowered with
in one foot of the plate. The water
was forced through the sprinkler
under great pressure, while the
under side of the sprinkler was
kept cool by water running over it
from fixed spigot. The sprink-
ling continued for one and half
hours, and the plate was then ta-
ken by a crane and immersed in
the oil baths, there to remain thir-
ty hours. The government Off
GERS present regarded the new
process as highly successful.

Washington, ID. O., Apr. IL, '93. (
For the benefit of persons who
intend to visit the forthcoming
Worlds Columbian Exposition ut
Chicago, notice is hereby given to
the public, through postmasters,
that there is now in operation, in
the government building on tho
grounds of the exposition, branch
of the Chicago pcstohice, known
as the Worlds Fair station, and
which will continue during the
entire period of the great fair.
This station postofEice will make
regular collections and deliveries,
through its own force Of letter
carriers, from and to all parts of
the exposition grounds, and will
transact money order and registry
business, os well as all other bust
ness pertaining to a first class of
fee.
Visitors to the exposition, not
knowing before leaving home their
precise location in Chicago, may
find it convenient to have their
letters and other mail mat
ter addressed to the Worlds Fair
station, or to have money orders
payable there, rather than at the
main Office at Chicago. After
wards, if desirable, they can have
their addresses changed, either by
notice to their correspondents or
by application to the postmaster
at Chicago, or the superintendent
of the Worlds Fair station.
Mail matter intended for deliv-
cry on the exposition grounds
should be plainly addressed,
worlds Fair Station, Chicago,
illinois," giving, if possible, also
the precise locality in the grounds
to which the matter is to be deliv-
cred, SO that carrier delivery can
be easily effected.
Postmasters throughout the
country will be expected to give
as much publicity as possible to
this announcement, without there
by, however, incurring any official
expense. 1t is especially desirable
that, with this qualification, they
shall get the press, in the general
interest of the public, to give in
formation from time to time of the
arrangement.

A simple substance for fireproof-
ing combustible materials has late
ly been brought forward by a Rus
sian inventor, and its efficacy test
ed with very gratifying results un-
der the auspices of the Moscow In
perial Society of Agriculture. In
the public trials made, a shanty
was built entirely of straw, and,
after being covered with the paste,
was subjected to a hot FIRE, the
straw, under this operation, mere
ly changing from a yellow to red
dish-brown color, without igniting
or even cracking. The society in
question has, it is stated decided
to introduce this new invention OF
process throughout the empire,
considering that it must prove Of
the highest value in villages where
the houses are thatched with straw.
The cost Of this preparation, as
well as of applying it, is said to be
very. .sliaht-New York Sun.

The remarkable aerolite which
fell at Osawatomie, Kan, on the
afternoon of April 8, striking the
monument to John Brown, was evil
IDENTIFY one of that meteor swarm
called the "Perseids," because
when they fall to earth they come
from the direction of the constella-
ton Perseus. At the time this fell,
that constellation was nearly in the
zenith. This meteorite weighed a
little over fourteen pounds and
contained iron and other minerals
usually found in meteors. About
one-fourth of the mass is an un-
known metal, with a specific gravity
four times that of gold. When a
fragment was volatilized in the
electric arc, it gave the same spect-
rum lines which are found in the
solar spectrum, and have been at
tributed to conjectural element,
helium. If this unknown metal
proves to be helium, it is the only
known specimen on earth, and the
Osawatomie aerolite will be the
most valuable ever known.-Tole-

The church described in Longs
fellows poem, ''Old st. David's at
Radnor," is situated in Radnor
Valley, Delaware County, Pa. II
was built by Welsh Colonists, May
Is, 17l5. For some years, mem-
bers Of the congregation provided
their own chairs and benches, but
in 1765 the church was foored and
furnished with rude settees, which
were rented. Still later, floor space
was rent ON which the owner was
allowed TO erect a pew to suit his
own tastes. The question of re-
building has been under consider
alton a number Of times, but has
always been defeated by the con-
servative members of the church,
and it is due to their reverence
for old institutions that this is one
of the few buildings connected
with our country's history which
has been preserved. In its church,
yard Mad Anthony Wayne is bur-
led.

The mother Of Tesla, the famous
electrician, found her lot cast in a
wild country, far from any of the
conveniences of civilization. She
had, however, inherited an inven-
tive spirit from her father, an in-
ventor and constructor of machin-
cry. and she resolutely made good
the deficiencies in her home by
constructing nearly all the arti-
eles needed in the household, and
without objects from which to
copy. She planted hemp and fax,
took out the fiber, spun the thread
and then made her own loom pre-
paratory to weaving. This cloth
produced by her varied from the
heaviest grades suitable for winter
clothing to fine pieces suitable for
embroidery.

National Obserusr.
DIR. Baumann, a German explor-
er, claims to have searched ont the
authentic sources of the Nile. and
to have definitely fixed the position
on the modern map of the ancient
Mountains of the Moon. He traced
up the Kagera River, or, as Stan
ley desired to call it, the Alexandra
Nile, the large stream which emp
ties itself into the Western Vic
toria Nyanza, within the German
sphere of influence, and is believ-
ed to form the principle affluent of
the Great Lake. His first dis
covery was that the supposed Lake
Akenyaru is merely a lacustrine
reach of the Kagera or Of one of
its tributaries, and that in like
manner Lake Nworengo is a stream
flowing into Akenyaru.
Following the doublings of the
Kagera he declared that he found
himself at length, being still with
in the German protectorate, at the
head waters of the River Egypt,
and at the foot of the precipltous
and wooded mountain range which
forms the watershed between the
Nile on the one hand and Tangan-
yika and Kgngo on the other, aud
is we'll known to the natives as the
Mountains of the Moon. What
follows reads like a chapter from
Rider Haggard.
The natives received the stran-
ger with demonstrations of Joy.
For ages they we're ruled by kings
who were supposed to be lineally
decended from the moon, and the
simple Warundi deemed the Ger
man the last Of their kings restor-
ed to them after a soiourn above.
His cine appears worth tracing up.

The stock of legal tender or
greenbBcks in the Treasury
amounts to S25,OOO,OOO. The ex-
change of these for gold presents
the easy and natural method of
maintaining and increasing the
Governments gold holdings.
Many banks, holding gold, have al
ready expressed their Willingness
to make the change or have already
effected it. 1t is the obvious meth
cd of cooperating with the
National Administration in it's
avowed determination to maintain
the parity of gold and silver The
banks are abundantly able to make
the exchange without seriously in
terferiug with their own gold
funds. Albany Argus.
