How Lead Pencils Are Made.

In the manufacture of lead pencils the
graphite is first ground with water between
French burr wheels until it 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 small pieces and ground again to an
even consistency. 1t is then mixed with
clay, the proportion Of clay and graphite
determining the hardness of the pencil.
This mixture is then forced through a
cylinder perforated at the lower end with a
hole the size of the finished lead. The paste
energies in the form of a long stringlike
spigetti, which the operative breaks off in
lengths of about two feet and arranges III
grooves in u horizontal board.
If the finished leads are to be used in pen
Gil 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 a shaking
tray. The leads for use in a wood mount
ing are unpublished. The wood is well glued
then the leads are covered with mucilage
and placed in the grooves and covered with
another strip of wood, the pencil thus
formed being placed with a number Of
others in a tightly cla1nped iron frame, it
which they dry. The pencil is then finished
by a revolving knife. which trims the wooG
and leaves it ready for the polishing anG
vanishing, which are done by hand.-St
Louis Globe-Democrat.

Lost and Found In Paris.

The Paris depot for lost articles, or, as
the French term them, found objects, holds
over 81 600 articles, and Of these some H.
600 are umbrellas.
A curious feature of the depot is that
only 10 per cent of the lost articles are ever
claimed. What, then, becomes Of an m
claimed find, 1t invariably reverts to the
finder after a lapse of time varying usually
from three months to a year. Thus two
small street arabs, who recently found 1000
francs in notes, will soon claim this sum,
and last year the finder Of 10000 francs had
the money handed over to him.
Special measures are taken to prevent
dishonest persons claiming articles which
they see conductors find in omnibuses. 1t
is not woman alone who drops her things
in her anxiety to pick VI her skirts. The
doctor leaves his case of Instruments, the
musician his fiddle, the porter his dosser.
Even 40 pound and huge bronze
clocks nave found their resting place in
the depot. And yet, after all this organ
lied effort to restore lost articles, out of
100 losers only 10 succeed in recovering
their property.-London Tit-Bits.

Il EOLlAN HARP.


= Any Improvement OPUu ss~ 49,
GUS InstsAmoDt Of tass AncicDts.
Tho usolian harp II mot very we'll known,
hut 1t IL very curious md IN supposed to
have been invented by Father Kirchcr, The
Jesuit sAvant, who lived in the seventeenth
century and invented many ingenious ma
chimes. But the fact OF the spontaneous
resonance OF certain musical instruments
when exposed to a current OF air had struck
the observers of nature IN times of renot-
est antiquity. One OF tho I'almuds says
that the harp Of David sounded when the
north wind blew on 1t, and 1t has been suR-
gested that he had an HoIian, as We under
stand It.
Kircher's harp had Is strings Of cat gut.
and the force Of the wind was DETECTED on
to 1t by various shutters or screens. In later
times this was improved upon by Messrs.
Frost and KAstner, but was similar to this
preceding form In principle and construc.
ton. The nolian hArps In tho old castle OF
Baden-Baden and those in the four turrets
Of Strasburg cathedral are celebrated.
These are NIL made OF strings stretched
over q sounding box n require tuning to
keep them In harmony. They are also
large and cumbrous and have a limited
number Of strings, which makes the music
more or less monotonous, and they are de
penuenL OH ING WlNu from OHe ulTccLlOu
only.
The changes Of temperature and damp.
ness of the atmosphere make them con-
stantly out of tune, and indeed often cause
the strings to break. These difficulties
and drawbacks have hitherto prevented the
molian harp from being SO well krown and
popular as such m interesting and curious
instrument deserves to be, b1t the latest
development Of this harp, nemed eolia, in.
vented by an Englishman, is a step in the
right direction. '"' ''' :
The music il produced by sensitive me.
tallic reeds Instead Of strings, so that it
never requires tuning, and as there are SO
separate notes there il a great variety OF
sound.
1t is intended to hang on the bough Of a
tree and may be left there without danger
from the weather. 1t turns round before
the wind and Is therefore exposed to every
point of the compass, and the music passes
into an organ pipe, by which it is greatly
enriched and improved.
Besides, the molian harp possesses re.
markable properties which act upon the
nervous system and cause very Different
impressions, according to the temperament
of those who listen to it's accords. Ar Eng
llsh physician, DR.. J. M. Cox, asserts that
lunatics have sometimes been Gained by
the sweet and varied music of an moliau
harp. Other observers declare that @olian
sounds will produce sleep.-Waverly.

Envying his friends the happiness
they found in their Gig ars, John Akin
son, the millionaire contractor, decided
to learn to smoke some weeks ago.
First he tried twenty five-cent cigars
They not only gave him the small-boy
desire of 81 wish hadn' done it." but
his utter inability to handle them with
any degree of famil iarity was source
of constant annoyance. At the sug-
gestion of one of his fri ends he selected
the mildest brands that could be bought
for twelve and half cents each, and
with firm determine ton to learn from
experience wherein a cigar contained
joy, he stuck to them for several days,
each making him more sick than the
former. The dime variety next at
tracted his attention, with no better
results, but with the three-cent article
he Jared far better. There was not
enough tobacco in them to make him
sick and bad cold delivered him from
the odor. Having learned to enjoy a
.three-cent cigar he tried one for a
nickel, and from week to week gradu-
ated upward again, until he has at last
educated his system up to the twenty
five-cent cigars he presents to his ac-
quaintances upon the slightest provo
cation.-Philadelphi Record.
