The Manufacture of Glass Eyes.

Inc NNnu1Ucture OF GLASS Eyes.
In Thuringia, Germany, there is
whole district which is dependent for
its support on the manufacture of arti-
fetal eyes, husbands. wives and chill
1ren all working together at this means
Of livelihood. And vet though these
simple German people turn out their
produce by the dozen. no two eyes are
ever the same. No artificial eye has it's
exact fellow either in color or in size
in the whole world. This method Of
the manufacture is not very compli-
Gated art. They are firstly glass plates,
which are blown by gas GETS then
nodded by hand into the form of an
oval shaped cup. The coloring of the
eyes is effected by means of tracing
with fine needles, the tints being left
to the taste Of the individual worker,
though the scope Of their taste is nee
essarily limited to grays and blues and
browns and blacks, which colors are
assorted together before being eventu-
ally dispatched to their various desti-

TROUBLE IN NORWAY

The Union with Sweden May lie
Broken.
The union between Sweden and Nor
way is in great danger of being bro
zen.
The two states are far more loosely
ued together than Britain and Ireland
viii be under the home rule bill; but
the Norwegians are impatient of their
snght fetters, and under cover of a re-
quest for separate foreign agents seek
total separation.
The king in vain suggested compro-
have resolved, if he refuses to estab-
fish two foreign ministries, to resign
and refuse the supplies.
1t is scarcely possible that the king
should yield, us his foreign policy
would become unworkable-thc Nor
wegians, for example, desiring close re-
lations with Russia-yet, if he does not,
be must occupy Norway with Swedish
troops, to the confusion Of the finances
and the production Of another great
and definite grievance in Norway.
The true motives of the movement
are the Norwegian dislike of the
Swedes, whom they regard as super
ciious, and the advance of theoretic
democracy in Norway to Il point incon-
sistent with any monarchy at all.
1t Is possible, as the peasants are
widely scattered and Christiania is con-
servative, that the quarrel may Snoul-
der on for years; but theoretically there
is no way out of it, and the credit Of
the united kingdom, now so excellent,
may seriously suffer.-London Specta-

Foul Water Not UnhcNlths-So M
CUES II German Physicinn.
It has been left to q German physl-
clan, DR.. Emmerich, after a careful
test, to pronounce foul drinking water
exempt from any disease that the flesh
may acquire through its use. indeed
the distinguished savan goes even fur
Their; he emphasizes and proves his ar
gument by inoculating himself and sew
eral patients, with the putrid aqua. The
details Of these experiments may prove
interesting to the people of Washing
ton. who Of late have endured the an
noyance of what is commonly termed
muddy water. Choosing the dlrtlest
ditch he could find near Munich, DR..
Emmerich made its contents his daily
beverage for Il month, taking quart
or more daily The water was to the
eve dirty, and to the nose foul smell
ing. to such a degree that it was diff
cult at first to avoid involuntary vom-
iting after taking it. 1t contained
fragments Of garbage, dirty rags, hair
Of men and beasts, particles of faces,
ETC., as the trench was the general re-
ceptacle of privies, dirt carts, dead cats,
and the like For the first day or two
after beginning the use Of this water
Dr. Emmerich suffered from headache,
loss of appetite, catarrh Of the bowels
and other symptoms Of light gastritis.
In three days, however, all these symp-
toms disappeared, and for the month
during which he continued to drink the
water he was us well as ever. Next
he persuaded two convalescents in the
hospital to try. One had been suffering
from constipation, headache, loss Of ap-
petite and muscular pains. After
few days use of the ditch water he de-
cidedly improved The second had
long been Il victim to dilation of the
stomach and dyspepsia. He was not
the least injured by the free conSu1np-
ton of the putrid fluid. Finally, about
a month after the doctor had ceased
his experiments, he happened to be at
tackled with sharp gastro-enteritis.
He rejoiced at such an opportunity Of
testing his ditch water, and. therefore,
without using any remedies, he began
to drink it freely. In a few days he
was well. From these experiments he
concludes that the ''use Of the most
foul putrid drinking water produces no
injurious results on the system in
health, and even existing affections of
the intestinal canal are not in the least
aggravated by it."

MISCELLANY.

An Electrical Race Track.

"A
One Of the most attractive of the
many popular features Of the Frank
fort electrical exhibit of 1891 was the
electrical race track on which dummy
horses were, propelled at a speed OF
about ten miles an hour, and which af-
forded the riders much Of the excite
ment of contest with living mounts.
An electrical race-track, for which this
installation has served as a model has
been constructed in Montreal, where it
has greatly taken the public fancy.
Practically it is kind Of gloritied
crry-go-rOund," with the added at
traction Of uncertainty in the relative
position Of the horse of the rider until
the winning post is actually reached,
but its construction has involved the
working out of many important de-
tails. The track consists, says the Car
rage Journal, of an oval wooden plat
form about $50 feet long by 100 feet
wide and four feet above the ground.
Extending around the platform is an
oval track some thirty feet in width,
divided into eight parallel courses, upon
each of which are two large hobby
horses coupled together, one close be-
hind the other. These horses are pro-
PEELED by electric motors around the
track along their particular courses,
the movement and speed of each pair
being under the control of an operator
stationed in a small building at one
side of the track. Each pair Of horses
moving Independently Of its neighbors
seems to be taking part in real trial
of speed At one moment certain
pair is ahead. then another takes the
lead and this in turn may be passed by
some other horse. In this way the
excitement and amusement of an ac-
tual race are provided for both riders
and spectators. The horses are mount
ed upon trucks, which are under the
platform, by means of upright iron
bars, the truck consisting OF an oblong
iron frame provided with two wheels,
one before the other as in bicycle.
Upon each circular track there are two
trucks coupled together. Upon the fore
| most of each pair. is an ordinary two
| and a half horsepower series electric
motor, which drives one of the truck
wheels by means Of a single reduction
gearing connected with the pulley by
a belt. Current is conveyed to the mo-
tors by copper wires fastened to the
lower side of the platform, contact
| being made by an ordinary trolley
| wheel mounted on a short arm, and the
| rails are used for the return. a loo-
volt shunt-wound generator supplies
the current.

A few days ago was standing by an
American gentleman. when l expressed
a wish to know what point was the
north. He at once pulled out his watch,
looked at it, and pointed to the north.
I asked whether he had compass at
tached to his watch. "!An Watches"
he replied, ARE compasses." Then he
explained to me how this was Point
the hour hand to the sun, and the south
is exactly half way between the hour
and the figure XII. on the watch. For
instance, suppose that it is o'clock.
Point the hand indica ting to the sun,
and II. on the watch is exactly south.
Suppose that it is o'clock; point the
hand indicating s to the sun. and the
figure x. on the watch is due south.
My American friend was quite sur
Drised that did not know this. Think
ing that very possibly l was ignorant
OF thing which every one else knew,
and happening to meet Mr.. Stanley. I
asked that eminent traveller whether
he was aware Of this simple mode of
discovering the points of the compass.
He said that he had never heard of it.
l presume. therefore, that the world
is In the same state of ignorance.
Amalh is proud of having been the
home of the inventor of the compass.

Doublc-Ended Screw Vessels.


The number Of douDle-cnded screw
vessels was recently increased by the
launch of the Sainte Marie. designed to
ferry cars across the Straits Of Mack
NAV between st. Ignace and Mack
inaw City, a distance of about seven
miles. A smaller boat of the same
type, the 81. Ignace, has already proved
very successful in crossing the icy
straits in winter just as have the To
lcdo, Ann ArbCr and North Michigan
railroad steamers on Lake Michigan
and the double-ScrcW fer boats on the
North river at New York. The Sainte
Marie is designed to ferry eighteen
loaded frcightcrS at a speed of fifteen
miles an hour. She is BOZ feet long on
deck, has Il breadth Of Il II feet. a
depth of - feet, and draws II feet Of
water when loaded. She has propeller
10 feet in diameter at her bow and one
II feet in diameter at her stern. These
are driven by two vertical compound
engines. The forward one has cylin-
ders 30 and So inches in diameter, with
4O-inch stroke, and the after one has
cylinders 81 and IS inches. The wood
en- hull is Of unusually heavy construc-
ton. The frames are "a inches by -
inches, shcathed with G-inch planking
and the sides protected by quarter
inch steel plate to prevent damage by
ice. The bow and stern are of solid
timber covered with steel plates .
inches thick, and the whole construc-
ton is said to be sufficiently strong to
break through an ice foe i feet thick,

The HummtnE and Singing Of Tel
eEraph and Telephone Wires.


egraph and Telephone Wires.
You have all heard the humming and
singing of telegraph and telephone
wires as you passed the poles along
the streets. No doubt you have con-
cluded that it is caused by the action
OF the wind on the wires. and given it
no further thought But it is not true,
continues the Boston Journal of Com
merce, that the singing is caused by
the wind, and, if you are ut all OBJ
serving, you will notice that often the
humn. g sound is to be heard these
cold WI. or mornings when the smoke
from chlnneyS goes straight up until
it is lost in the Clouds and when the
frost on the wire is as fuzzy and thick
as roll of chenille fringe. The wind
has nothing to do with the sound, and
according to an Austrian scientist, the
vibrations are due to the changes of
atmospheric temperature, and especial
ly through the action of cold as a low
ering Of temperature induces Il shorten
ing of the wires extending over the
whole of the conductor. A cOnSidera-
BILE amount Of friction is produced on
the supporting bells, thus inducing
sounds both in the wires and the poles.
When this humming has been going
on birds have mistaken the sound for
insects inside the poles. and have been
seen to peck with their bills on the out
side as they do upon the apple and 9TH
err trees. The story is told of a bear
that mistook the humming noise as
coming from Il nest of bees, and clawed
ut the pole, and tore away the stones
ut its base in the hope of finding the
much-covctcd honey.
