The printing of copper plate en9rav-
jngs requires very particular care that
up to the present has not permitted of
intrusting the work to a machine, the
hand of the workman alone being
judged capable of giving the mixing
and the wiping of the plate the finish
necessary for the obtaining of good
proof. AS well known, what is called
copper plate engraving is done upon
plates of copper, either by means of
aquafortis or the graver, and some
times by these two means combined.
1t is the hollows in the plate that
give the black lines, the parts not at
tackled being reserved Tor the lights.
1t is necessary, then, in order to OBJ
tain good proof, to spread the ink
very uniformly over the lines OF the
engraving, to carefully wipe the nom
engraved parts and aiterward to give
very strong pressure, in order that
the paper may take up the ink in the
hollows- 1t will be unde stood from
this very brief description of the oper-
alton that this kind of printing cap

To succeed in printing along with
the text is not TO be thought of, since
the Latter is produced by reliefs. Other
processes, such as engraving upon
wood, etc, permit of this kind of
printing: but what has been long
sought for in copper plate engraving
is to have the complete work Of the
printer done by a machine, SO as to
reduce manual labor. Tentatives
have doubtless been made in This di-
rection for a long time. We may
mention especially a machine con-
S ructed in 1853 by RJbert Neale, an
Englishman. Many others also have
sought a solution OF the problem, but
we cannot find that any have been

Presiden. Andrews Of Brown University In
an article on THE Future of Silver Produc-
tionr published In the ReuieW Of Kevie,es,
makes the following assertion thai will be de-
cidedly surprising TO many Of our readers:
'One most serious result OF the Sherman
silver purchase Law has been the abnormal
stimulation Of silver production. This has
given people not acquainted with the facts an
altogether mistaken notion touching the
probable yield Of silver mines for the coming
years Under the spur Of the Sherman law
the price of silver at one time reached Il. IL
per ounce. Silver miners then expected 1t to
go as high as q. 90, nor did this hope fade un-
til the end OF last June, when the free coin
age Of silver was suspended In India. There
WAS At the same time a lurking fear that the
rise might be succeeded by another fall. In
consequence all sorts of mines have been
worked, the poorest with the best. Waste
dumps and low grade dumps have been
diligently picked oves or sorted to CLEAN the
bits Of pay contained, and large amount Of
silver placed on the market at a downright
loss. 1t follows that the output for the last
three years is no guide whatever In forming
opinion Of how much silver We may e1-
pect, II mining ,s resumed, to see taken out
In futsfe. In no likely case, probably not
even should silver be coined freely at l6 to !
by the United States alone, can our silver
mines put out for the next fifteen years so
large an annual product as since the Sherman
law went into effect

lecture on the moon. tina; ne gcogra-

even than that OF earth. and tn u ev-
cry single spot AS large as a township

OF course, less than one-half the

in future people must refer to that Tor
the green cheese belief, since we
now know more about the moon, or
the astronomers do. than our gcogra-

Another strange but equally cred
liable statement is that we can predict
the motions of distant worlds and
know nothing of the planets track
way upou which we live. Perhaps.
when modes of communication are es-
tablished between this and othe

The sugar Ddustry.

The sugar interest, com N ercialiy
and industrially considered, has been
enhanced in value by the introduction
of some highly perfected machinery,
the latest example being an evaporat-
ing apparatus for insuring complete
and rapid circulation of the cain juice,
com bined with the most effective dis
tribution of the steam for heating the
juice. The condensed water outlets
from the calandrias are made very
large and are connected to special
water and vapor receivers; there is
aso an ingenious arrangement of
pipes and cocks connected to the main
condenser, and by means of which
gases of any density, lodging in any
part of the calandrias, are immediate
ly drawn off, the accumulation Of
such gases being one of the sources Of
interruption to the free distribution
and circulation of the vapor steam in
the calandrias. The usual back pres
sure or exhaust steam of three to five
pounds per square inch is ample to
work the apparatus, which is auto
matte in its action. Both labor and
fuel are said to be largely saved by
the use of this apparatus

Some of the common ideas concern
ing asbestos appear to have resulted
in mistakes of n serious practical ma
ture. Thus, the usual conception that
it is in no wise affected by heat is true
only to the extent that, though infusi-
BILE except at very high temperature,
it is fact that only a very moderate
degree OF heat-heating to low redness
in platinum crucible. for instance
is required to entirely destroy the
flexibility of the fibre and render 1t so
brittle that it may easily be crumbled
between the thumb and finger.
Another mistake is that relating to its
high ncn-couductivity or power of re-
sisting the action of heat-the assump-
tion being that because asbestos is IN
fusiblc, it must of necessity, be good
uon-conductor. The contrary asser-
tion TO this is made and proved on
good authority, namely, that by plac-
ing a vessel of water on n sheet Of as.
beslos cardboard. and applying heat
from below, or, more simple proof
still. by placing a piece of wood on a
sheet of asbestos millboard on a hot
stove. II, however, asbestos is teased
out and worked iuto fluffy mass,
there is thus obtained non-ccnduct-
ing material, but it is the air enclosed
by the tibres that is the real non-con-
ductor, the asbestos serving simply to
entangle the air.
