An interesting manufacturing process
has Just been witnessed by a special
commission in the alexandrOwski works
of the Societe Franco-Russe. Two i'm
perial trains were to be constructed. the
carriages of which were to be lined with
steel plating. For this purpose sheets
of very large size and in a single piece
were required. The Alexandrowski
Steel works devised method Of obtain.
ing from an ingot sheets sixty feet long
and four feet wide in one piece. and Thus

Captain F. Ryan, the government
diver, expects to complete arrangements
in a few days to so to Yokohama to
raise $2.OO0,O00 worth of gold bullion
which sank in 2Gj feet of water in the
harbor some years ago. Captain Ryan
will get half of the treasure if he sue
ceeds in raising it.
Captain Ryan says the bullion was
lost overheard while being transferred
from one vessel to another. and that sew
eral japanese divers have attempted to
raise it. and three or four of them lost
their lives in the undertaking. and that
a diver on a British man-of-man also
lost his life in the attempt. He says that
finally the japanese government has re-
quested its consul at San Francisco to
make arrangements with an American

ThO Cause of fCrNsers-

Dunsen has explained the periodical
eruption of geysers in such satisfac.
tory manner that doubt is no longer nos-
sihle. A cavern filed with water lies
deep in the earth under the geyser, and
the water in this cavern is heated by the
earth's internal heat far above PIG de-
Grees. since there is Il heavy hydrostatic
pressure upon it arising from the weight
Of water in the passage or natural stand
pipe that leads from the subterranean
chamber of the surface of the earth.
After a time the temperature of the
water below rises, so that steam is givep
OFF in spite Of the pressure, and the col
umn in the exit tube is gradually forced
upward. The release of pressure and
the disturbance of the water then cause
the contents Of the subterranean cham
Der to flash into steam and expel the
contents of the exit pipe violently These
eruptions may also be provoked by throw
ing stones or clods of turf into the basin
Of the geyser. The water in the cavern
below is disturbed by this means.-Great

Newspapers and the Love of Books,

1t is not any more true in England
than it is in this country that the read
in% of newspapers is spelling the taste
for books. Never in any other genera
ton were there us large editions of books
of knowledge and thought printed and
sold as there are in this one The figures
given in the reports of the British and
American book trade are amazing, espe-
cially as regards books of the highest
erudition, the deepest cogitation and the
wisest counsel. As many as 80, GOO copies
of Mr., Dryce's American Common
wealth have already been sold in this
country and England. fireworks of the
great authors of the past. too, are more
in demand than they ever were before.
IL is ignorance to say that good newspa-
pers spoil the taste for books. They pro-
mote the love Of the best books.-New

Showing That Plants Can See.

Can plants see? Darwin gave it as his
opinion that some of them can, and an
Indian botanist relates some curious in
cidents which tend to verify the belief.
Observing one morning that the tendrils
of Il convolvulus ON his veranda had de-
cidedly leaned toward his legs as he lay
in an attitude of repose, he tried series
of experiments with Il long pole, placing
it in such y position that the leaves
would have to turn away from the light
in order to reach it. In every case he
found that the tendrils set themselves
visibly toward the pole and in very
few hours had twined themselves closely
around it.-London Public Opinion.
