Lubricatine OILS.

OF some of the various lubricating
oils now resorted to, writer IN Lon
don Industries remarks that the mate
rails entering into the composition of
some of the ordinary soaps not only
give good results, but constitute a
compound for cylinder use greatly
preferable to many of the cylinder
oils that are often employed. of
which the chief qualifications are
their black color and tarry consist
ency, it being enormously supposed
that because a good cylinder oil is of
high viscosity and is often dark col
ored the converse must necessarily
be true, and that oils possessing these
properties will be excellent cylinder
oils Where the use of mineral oil
replaces that of tallow there is an alb
sence of the corrosion of the cylinder
consequent on the specialization of
the fat by high pressure steam, with
the production of free fatty acids.
which are often present in such guam
titles as to form masses of iron soap
weighing many pounds Cases have
occurred where the use of mineral oil
having been substituted for that of
ta1low, and this iron soap having been
consequently dissolved out and for the
first time brought to light, the new
lubricant has been mistakenly con-
demned.

The Island of Atlantis.

Among projected enterprises is one
for the formation of an island, ten or
eleven miles out at sea, off the coast
of Long Island, with the object of es-
tablishing there a summer hotel, for
the benefit of citizens who wish to
keep cool and avoid mosquitoes dur
ing hot weather. The protector of
this enterprise, Mr. Charles Coen, and
a party of coadjutors went out re-
Gently in a steamer and selected the
spot, planting thereon buoy with an
attached white flag with single red
star. The water at the selected place
has depth of about 20 feet. It is
proposed to sink group of sixty iron
caissons each Is feet in diameter and to
erect the hotel building upon them.
The spot selected is claimed to be out
side the jurisdiction of the United
States or any other nation; hence the
corporation will be subject to no taxes
and will be subject to no laws except
its own legislation. Atlantis is to be
the name of the new territory. There
is nothing impracticable in the forma-
ton of an island in the manner pro-
posed, and no great engineering diff
Guilty stands in the way. It's accom-
plishment is chiefly financial ques-
ton. If the money is forthcoming
one million dollars is the estimated
cost-the island can soon be created.
The parties claim they can command
the funds

An Interes sting Event.

Quite an interest has been created
in Lewiston, Maine, by a recent local
manufacturing product, namely, the
first silk ia brio ever woven upon a
power loom in that place, and proba-
bly, east of Boston, the article being
an attractive reproduction Of the new
Lewiston Mill company's building
Two coIors, blue and black, were de-
cided upon to commence with in this
line, the size being about 10 by 8
inches, and the building is deity
woven into the center, with a border
of one inch and silk fringe about the
edge. So fine is the reproduction OF
the photograph of the building in this
fabric that the stone of the arches, the
open doors the stone image over the
front window and the clock in the
tower are all distinctly visible in their
minutest detail This is the beginning
of an industry intended to be devel'
oped into much larger sized objects

New n1ultlpolar Generator.

We give an engraving OF q recently
perfected Multipolar Generator which
an enterprising company has just put
on the market The frame of the ma
chine is composed of several parts,
making it convenient to handle. The
total weight is quite uniformally di-
vided between the several parts, as
shown IN the engraving, making ma
chine which may be conveniently set
up in stations not provided with APP
paratus for handling very heavy
weights The bed is planned to fit iron
slides and is very rigidly constructed,
so as to withstand the strain brought
on it by the weight Of the field mag
net. The magnet is formed of two
iron castings, both together forming
complete circle, with four inwardly
projecting cores to receive the field
coils The magnet is bored and
fitted with a pole bushing sur
rounding the armature. which
gives the greatest possible
effective polar arc, and prevents
the disagreeable humming sometimes
observed with toothed armatures IN
der heavy loads and suppresses the
tendency to spark by reason of stray
lines of force The armature is of the
toothed hollow drum type. By sys-
tenn of end connections, crossing of
the conductors at the leads of the
armature is avoided, thus reducing the
danger of short circuiting and burn
ing out and permitting of con-
veniently getting at every wire
The commutator is massive, and the
well-known Belknap patent woven
wire and graphite brushes are used.
The bearings, which are very large,
are self-lining and self-oiling. The
two terminals are located at opposite
sides of the machine, to avoid the +
danger of short circuit The field
cores are compound wound and the
magnetic circuit of the machine is
carefully designed with reference to;

Pun Balls rs Food.

It viii surprise many to know that

Toned styptic, smoke, and the kick Of

There are a number of species of the
puff-ball, varying in shape and size
from the small white globular variety
of an inch IN diameter, and the pear.
shaped, to the giant pasture species
which may attain the dimensions of q
football. All are edible if gathered at
the white stage, those of yellow or
darker fracture being excluded. OF
the esculent qualities of the larger
species, we may judge from the state
ment of connoisseur. ''Sliced and
seasoned in butter and salt, and
fried in the pan, no French omelet is
half as good in richness and delicacy

Big Money In Ambergrls.

cut the blubber from a whale, was
about to cast the rest of it adrift,
when there came alongside two Hobart
ishermen-"P Portuguese Joe' and his
mate, an African negro The Portu-
guese begged to be given the carcass
so that they might tow it ashore and
make what they could out of it 'An
right, said the skipper, with the gem

him and wanted to give him $25, 900 to
$45, 600 for the lot; but the man under

the am bergris was lodged in bank,
which was presently served with an
injun ction on behalf of the Macgregor

THE OLDEST LOCK.

Remarkably Large.

1t Was Made OF Wood and Its Key Was
Remarkably Large.
In the History of Ninevah and It's
Palaces" by Joseph Bonomi, Hard
ware finds a description of perhaps
the oldest lock ever discovered. It
was used in securing the gates in one
OF the palaces of KhOrsabad In
describing this ancient piece OF hard
ware-lf such terms may be applied
to wooden locks-he says: ''At the
end of the chamber, just behind
the first bulls, was formerly a strong
gate, of one leaf, which was fastened
b. large wooden lock, like those
still used in the East, of which the
key is as much as man can convent
emily carry, and by a bar which
moved into a square hole in the wall.
''It is to key of this description
that the prophet probably alluGes:
And the key of the house of David
will L lay upon his shoulders and it
Is remarkable that the word for kew
in this passage of scripture, .Muf-
tab, is the same in use all over tho
Fast at the present time. The KEY
Of an ordinary street door is com
monty thirteen or fourteen inches
long; and the key of the gate of a
public building, or of a street, or of
a quarter of a town, is two feet or
moro in length.
''The iron pegs at one end of the
piece of wood correspond to so many
holes in the wooden bar or bolt of
the lock, when the door or cato is
shut and cannot be opened until the
key has been inserted and the i'm
peiiment to the drawing back of the
bolt, removed by raising up so many
iron pins that fall down into holes in
the bar or bolt corresponding to tho
pegs in the key
This description and others of a
corroboratory character, prove that
this form of lock and key was in use
in Egypt 4,00) or 5000 years, during
which extended period of time it
does not appear to have undergone
any successful change.

that the latter will be adjusted stimuli
taneous with the former. The sides of
the sconcave are formed of movable
semi-circular bearings, each of which
consists of a. plate with a slide way on
it's inner face in which are loosely held
the ends of the body portion OF the
concave the sides or bearings of the
concave not being attached in any way
to the sides of the machine. On the
central portion of the under edge of
each side or bearing is a lug, pivotaily
connected by links and crank arms
with an adjusting shaft journaled
in the forward lower portion of the
casing. and having at its outer
end a gear wheel meshing with a
worm on a short shaft turned by a
hand crank, whereby the concave may
be carried upward or be lowered, NOV
ing coneentricaIly with the cylinder
and around it.
The feed board section, as shown in
the sectional view, has hinged connec-
ton with the upper edge of the con-
cave, and when the latter is carried to
its upper position the feed board is
very nearly horizont tai, when the feed
will be quite slow, but as the concave
is lowered the feed board becomes cor
respondingly more inclined, providing
for a substantially rapid feed. For
the adjustment of the concave verti-
cally and to and from the feed end
of the machine, two shafts, one for.
ward of the other. are passed through
segmental slots in the under sides of
the concave bearings, each shaft hav-
ing near each end an eccentric, where
by, on turning one of the shafts, the
concave will be raised or moved for
ward, or lowered or withdrawn from
the cylinder of the machine. The ro-
tation of each shaft is effected by
worm on the lower end of vertical
rod, engaging a, gear wheel on the
outer end of the shaft, the rod being
turned by crank within easy reach
of the operator. The attachment is
readily adjustable to and may be APP
piled to any thrashing machine
