Nelson's ship, the Victory, was de-
signed to carry lo4 guns. The weight
Of her one broadside Of ~single-shotted
guns was 1. 1O4 pounds, which was con-
sidered prodigious In those days. Com
pare this with the guns OF the present
Trafalgar throws p~rojectile 100
pounds heavier than the whole broad
side of the Victory. while a li0-ton
gun discharges a ~pro)ectilo weighing
no less than 800 pounds. 1t may be
OF interest to know that while only
325 pounds OF powder were expended in
the discharge OF a broadside from the
Victory, as much as 5000 pounds
weight of powder was consumed in FIR.

The problem of silent machinery run
ming appears to have been brought @
step nearer solution by the introduc
ton in Austria Of cog wheels made OF
pressed raw hide, which are TO work in
conjunction with wheels of cast iron,
steel and other metals. The new
wheels are said TO possess great
strength. They do not require lubri.
eating and are, therefore, clean in OPP
GRAFTON. II is claimed that they sub.
stantially reduce the vibration of the
machinery in which they are used.
They can be had ready made or in the
form Of raw hide disks for shaping by
the purchaser. They are supported by
a wooden framework, and being cut
the wheel is covered with q shellac 50.
luton, The greatest drawback TO the
new wheel is its comparative expan.
siveness.

Nearly all animal life has been pro-
vided with means Of defense. Among
the curious ones is that given the
horned toad. Under certain circum.
stances, especially when the creature
has reason to fear attack, it will dis.
charge a blood red liquid at tho cup
posed enemy with great precision for
distance Of five or six feet. The liquic
does not appear to be poisonous, bu'
seems to be designed chiefly to temper
arily blind the attacking party.

CANDLES.
Many SIN Used FOR Various Special Par
poses.

The domestic use OF candles for ordinary
purposes OF illumination has almost entirely
ceased: oil has taken the place OF them but
great many candles are STU! used for various
special purposes. Candles are used to go
down cellar with. and for servants bedroom
lights. They are used IN breweries. in the
watts. because they don't smoke and they
make less heat Candles are used In some
mines. Almost all carriage lamps arc lighted
with candles.
There Is u large consumption OF candles by
Hebrews il the observance OF religious rites
at home. and they are used also IN the sym
gokues. Plumbers use candles about their
wofk because they are handler and saier.
Candles arc used for the illumination OF polIti-
cal transparoncies. They are used on dinner
tables and in drawing rooms: they are made
for these usas in various colorR There are at
least ten kinds OF Christmas candles: they are
made plain, ribbed or futed and cable. and In
The candles for these various special uses
are made chiefly OF stearine. paraifinS; and
wax, Tie consumption Of them in the United
States shows u slight increase, We export
candles 10 Mexico, CentraI America and
South America, There We're formerly many
manufactures OF tallow candles in this coun-
try; there Rre now few. and the trade ID de-
ere ising. Scarcely any tailow candies are now
used IN this qOnntry; those made are shipped
to south America.
