An automatic sculpturing machine

AN automatic sculpturing machine
operated by electricity has been pat
ented by a French inventor. Ii is
not intended TO take the place Of ar
fists, but is used for making copies,
and is also capable of making rough
hewn statues, upon which the talent
of the sculptor can afterward work TO
better advantage than upon the rough
block. The principle is that OF the
pantograph, there being two parts to
the machine, one of which exactly re-
produces the movements OF the other.
The operator guides one part over the
lines of the statue which il is de-
signed TO copy, and a swiftly revolv-
ing chisel in the other cuts away at
the outside OF the block until the
lines Of the model are exactly repro
duced.
lT is odd to hear of a Chinese being
scared merely by the means OF little
music. Such a case did occur the
other day at Singapore, we learn from
the Straits Times, when a Chinese
went into a house at Neil road and
took up what he thought TO be a cash
box. He started of down the street,
when suddenly the box broke forth
into the m~elodious strains OF the
Wandering Minstrel" The man
dropped the box on the road, gave
one look at it, turned his back upon it
and bolted-straight into the arms OF
a constable.
In Cuba a woman never loses her
maiden name. After marriage she
adds her husbands name TO her own.
In being spoken of she is always
called by her Christian and maiden
names. To "A stranger il is often
quite a task TO find out whose wife a
woman is. Never hearing the wife
called by the husbands name, one
naturally does not associate them to-
gether. The children take the names
of both parents, but place the moth
er's name after the fathers.
AT the first regular meeting OF the
London Court OF Aldermen, after the
installation Of the new Lord Mayor,
the court, in accordance with IA
quaint usage which had its origin as
far back as 1877, resolved to send
what is called Livery cloth " to
certain high officers of the state
such as the Lord Chancellor, Lord
Chief Justice, and Master OF the
Rolls-four and one-half yards Of the
best black cloth to each.
The Rev. John A. Burk, OF Balti-
more, recently received "A barrel of
oysters from Reedville, Northampton
County, Va. Upon opening n of
the shells, the two parts Of which
were joined as if they held an oyster,
n live fish two and one-half inches
long fell from the shell and began to
wriggle. The fish was put in water
and is still alive. There was no oys-
ter in the shell, the fish being the sole
occupant.

Pliny, that rare old gossiper, tells
among his other extraordinary stories
that OF the Bactrian method Of OBJ
tanning gold. The sandy deserts of
Bactria in the days of that historian
were, so the old man says, literally
swarming with ants slightly bigger
than foxes" These gigantic repre-
sentatives of the genus homenoptera
burrowed deeply into the sandy
wastes, their tunnels and galleries
often being hundreds of feet in ex-
tent.
The earth removed from these bur-
rows was always carried to the out
side and thrown up in hills (remem-
Der Pliny says this ''of a bigness
exceeding that of a palace" This
debris-sand, earth, etc.-was soon
found to be wonderfully rich in small
nuggets Of gold. The danger from
the ants was greater, however, than
that from the Indians in the early
days of gold digging in the Western
United States, and many stories are
told Of men who were literally de-
voured in IA few moments by the
fierce owners Of some disturbed bur-
row.
Some observing old hunter at last
discovered that the giant ants slept
during the hottest hours Of the day.
After that the seekers after the yell
low metal only made their incursions
at the proper time, and even then
they only stayed long enough in the
deserts to fill their sacks with the
golden sand, which they took home to
sift at leisure. With all this precau-
ton the ants often swiftly pursued
the feetest horses, and it was only
by using various stratagems that the
invaders managed to escape alive. -

Carryins Moiassss IN Bulk.

Almost all the molasses which
comes from Cuba 10 the United States
Is brought in the same tanks i'm
steamships that are used TO carry
petroleum as a return cargo. The
ships tanks are about sixteen feet
deep and have "A neck seven feet deep.
They are pumped full OF oil at Brook
lyn or Philadelphia, then taken TO
Havana, and the oil is pumped out
into the tanks OF the refining plants
there. Molasses is brought from the
interior of the island in huge hogs
heads, which are emptied into the
storage tanks. A suction pump
drawing about 10000 gallons an hour
fills each ships tanks to within about
two feet of the top, that amount Of
space being required for the expan-
sion OF the molasses. IL might be
supposed that the petroleum would
have n bad effect on the molasses,
but IL has been shown that the con-
trary is the case, and as nearly one
half the importation is made into
rum and the balance refined into
sugar, a little oil is not Of much ac-
count. The tanks are cleaned after
the molasses has been pumped out by
turning in a powerful steam jet, which
washes down the sides and liqueies
whatever molasses may be left in the
bottom OF the tank, and the suction
pump finishes the work.
A cargo OF molasses, which former
ly required ten or twelve days, "a
now be unloaded in forty-eight hours,
while the difference in the cost OF
handling, to say nothing Of the saving
OF time, amounts to n large sum.
The first attempt at handling mo-
lasses in bulk was made by the brig
Novelty in 1877. She was fitted with
n lining and her whole hold was used
without partitions. She made sew
eral trips between Matanzas and Bos-
ton, but was not successful as a di-
vidend Garner. Since the presentsys-
tenn Of dividing "A vessels hold into
tanks was devised and put i'm practice
on steamers the profits OF the trade
and the steamship companies have
largely increased.-New York Tri-
bune.
