bodies were found on the beach SUNDAY
morning mingled with a large guam
tity of wreckage. The bodies had
life-preservers on, and the men

the rocks after having succeeded
in reaching port after hard fight with
the sea The beach is strewn with tim
bers for miles on each side of the city,
and many barrels of flour have come
ashore. The identity OF only one re-
covered body could be discovered. It
was that Of Andrew Dodge, whose resi-

whom are undoubtedly drowned, mum
hered eighteen. The steamer was com
manded by Capt. G. w Stoddard, of
Toledo. The wreckage indicates that
the steamer went down not over 3 miles
from shore.

hind-Hearted Farmer Who said the

A certain eminent Clergyman, who is
greatly loved for his gentlenes5 and for
bearance with offenders, recently told a
Boston transcript man that an exDeri-

When he was boy he was very poor
boy, but he had already a strong theoiogi-
cal bent, and was studying hard during
the winter, and working even harder
during the summer, trying 10 get a prem
aratlon for college. He wanted TO be n
preacher, and the fact that he didn't seem
TO be good for anything else tended 20
convince him that he had not mistaken
his calling. One spring he was entirely
out OF money, and had TO get out of school
ana 90 to work. Not being allie to find
anything 10 do in the small college town
where ne had been studying, the youth

among the farmers to see if he could get
work from them. lie found a man who
was very busy with his springs work
and IN hurry to get the turrows plowed
IN blg field for potato planting The
weather was favorable for planting; the
farmers boys wOuld be home from school
the next day, which was Saturday, to do
the dropping and covering. He told
Richard that he might mark ont the field
with the plow for the planting, and if he
suited he might be hired for two or three
months. Meantime the farmer saw that
tine boy was very anxious to STAY and that
he had evidently very good disposition.
20 The young theolOglan went to work
with tremendous vi@Or. He did not stop
TO take breath until he had marked OF a
large tract of ground with deep turrows.
Then came his employer from his work
IN another part Of the farm and looked
at the boys work, and leaned up against
the fence and laughed until he shook.
The potato field had been scraped and
scalloped all over with the ridiculouslv
Irregular and wabbly little bitches which
Richard had turned. There was not a
/ clean, straight furrow in the lot: the
ground looked as il an insane eleDhant
had tossed up the earth: the furrows were

one another; for Richard had driven the

laughed, too, as he stood and looked over
the field. lie wiped the sweat from his
brow and looked very anxious at his en-
pIoyer. There was no chance for regular
work there; that was evident. His
laughter faded away, and there was a GER
tain faint tWitch in the corner Of his
mouth as the boy said:

soldering GIa 80.

The soldering of glass and porcelain
with metals is a novel French process
and its adaptations are likely to be az
numerous as they are valuable. II is
also simple. The portion Of the tube that
is to be soldered is first covered with a
thin layer Of platinum, this deposit being
obtained by covering the slightly heated
glass, by means of brush, with very
neutral chloride of platinum, mixed with
essential oil of chamomiie, the latter
being slowly evaporated, and, when the
white and odoriferous vapors cease to be
given OF, the temperature is raised to y
red heat; the platinum is then reduced
and covers the glass tube with layer Of
bright metal. on connecting the tube
thus metallized and placed in bath Of
sulphate of copper to the negative pole
Of battery OF suitable energy, there is
deposited on the platinum ring of cop
per, which will be malleable and verv
adhesive if the operation has been
properly performed. In this state The

treated like genuine metallic tube. and
