An Immense Drill.

There has lately been constructed at
one of the Massachusetts establish
ments for manufacturing machinists'
tools, drills and general iron working
machinery, q massive radial drill of
immense proportions, pronounced to
be the largest of its kind in the United
States, Gnd of correspondingly super
ior workmanship for operations on so
vast n scale. The radial drill weighs
some 10000 pounds, is sixteen feet
from top to base, and has radial arm
eight and onehalf feet long. By means
of this powerful mechanism II hole
five inches in diameter can be bored
and hole drilled to the centre of
circle thirteen feet in diameter, and,
though the machine is designated for
accomplishing the heaviest description
of work, it is so constructed that one
man can operate it. There is mechan-
ism for moving the radial arm, and
the head is moved by spiral gearing
with quick and easy motion. The
machine is also adapted to giving from
three to ten different speeds, Detroit

SOMETHING HE HAD FORGOTTEN.

$50 you enjoyed your European
trip, did you?" inquired tho simple
old gentleman. Il haven't been over
since '53, but my recollections nrc still
vivid. j remember once standing on
Mont Blanc. watching tho sun sink to
rest behind the blue waters of the
Mediterranean, while to my right the
noble Rhine rushed onward to the
Black Sea, and the Pyrenees, still hold
ing the SHOWS of winter, were on the
lett. l remember whilst standing
there"
"But, Mr., Gray" feebly inter
rupted his listener 81 was on Mont
Blanc myself, and really---you1l ex-
cuse me---but you really must be mis-
taken in your geography"
Mistaken" returned the old man,
lightly. "Not bit of it. But | for

my dear boy. that since my day the
entire map of Europe has been
changed by these awful wars, and SO,
of course, you can't appreciate what it
was in '53. ALBANY Argus.

How CamphOr is Made.

Camphor is the result of evaporating
as essential oil found in two different
trees, the cinnamomum camphora,
which grows in China and Japan, and
the dipterocarpus camphorn, of Suma
ira and Borneo; from these two trees
it is obtained in very different man
uers. In the cinnamomum it exists in
root and branch, stems and leaves,
which are chopped small and put into
earthern vessels, which are heated
these vessels are covered with hoods
and rice straw is placed il them; the
camphor is volatilized and rises it
condenses on the straw, from which
it is afterward cleared. In the dip
terocarpus it is found i'll the trunk i'll
a solid form, and it is obtained by cut
ting the tree down and splitting it
open; it is found in pieces from one to
two feet long and about as thick rs n
mans arm. A moderate sized tree will
yield about ten pounds of camphor, II
arger one about twice that quantity.
This kind is more highly esteemed than
the other, SO that in Japan two hun
dred pounds of native camphor are
valued at one pound of the Bornean. -

Dangers in Dr0ughts.

Long droughts carry in their train
certain inevitable dangers to the pub
lie health. The first of these evils is
the scarcity of ater-itsclf n great
source of anxiety to those whose busi-
ness it is to supervise the sanitary
welfare. Then comes the inadequate
flushing of sewers aud the risk, through
water saving practices, of drains be-
coming befouled The tendency for
certain diseases of cholera type to in
crease in intensity--the heat and want
of water being conditions for their
diffusion-in hot, dry season is well
known. Finally we get the river
courses of the land, which are used as
huge sewers by the towns in their
neighborhood, becoming pestiferous
channels. Any one who of late days
has been in the neighborhood of the
Midland Railway Station at Leeds
must have had practical proof of the
pestilential state of the Aire. Sewer
gases, acting on relaxed or ordinary
sore throats, may produce diphtheria.
The drains, sewers and rivers should
be purified. New York Telegram.

the familiar one OF getting a number

that it is no bigger than soup

City dwellers generally know that a
certain number of blocks make a
mile, and plod contentedly along on
that knowledge without ever looking

miles away will appear but one when
seen across fiat distance and the
stranger will start off on a short

A party of bicyclists doing Nebraska
found volcano, or what they took for
a volcano, the other day. 1t is situated
some four miles south of Ponca. The
party heard peculiar whistling noise,

They undertook to investigate it, and
came upon tissuro in the rocks of u
bluff, from which issued u strong blast
of air, so hot THAI one of the party,
who inadvertently exposed his face to
it, found his skin blistered. The mir
had no odor, and nothing else but the
hot air came from the iissure. There
