Making a School Globe.

A hollow wooden or iron sphere is
first formed with wires projecting at
opposite ends to indicate the poles.
Then strips of damp paper are spread
all over it; other strips of paper
soaked in paste are laid over them,
then other strips and so on, till the
total thickness of the layer is about
an eighth of an inch. When com.
pletely dry the pasteboard envelope is
cut in the line of the (future) equator,
and is separated from the mold in two
hemispheres. These are fastened by
nails to the two ends of wooden rod
exactly equal in length to the diameter
of the globe, and the edges of the
hemispheres are glued together SO
that we get pasteboard sphere. Two
wires projecting from the two ends of
the wooden rod penetrate the paste
board, and form the poles of the
globe. The pasteboard is then coated
six or more times over with whiting,
glue and oil, until considerable sub
stance has been laid on, each layer
being dried before the next is APP
piled. At this stage of the manufac-
ture any irregularity on the surface of
the globe is remedied by working a
metal semi-circle round and round the
sphere till the surface is made quite
smooth. The surface is then marked
by means of beam compass, with
lines to represent the circles of lati-
tude and longitude. -Goldthwaite's
Geographical Magazine.

The Oldest GraperIne.

The "oldest grapevine in the coun.

correspondent from Santa Barbara,
Cal. One growing near this, which
was known to be more than eighty
years old, died finally of good old age,
and was purchased and transported in
its entirety to the Chicago Fair last
summer. This one is forty-seyen to
fifty years of age, and hale and hearty
yet. At the base it is fifty-two inches
in circumference. 1t grows straight
up for about three feet, then divides
into six branches, and at this point is

Chemistry seems likely to furnish
substitutes for the expensive perfumes
now made from flowers, predicts the
New York Sun. 1t has long been
known that the exact odor of the
banana is produced in the laboratory.
There seems a possibility, however,
that even when some fragrant plauts
cease to be cultivated for the perfumes
many may become of Importance in
surgery. 1t has been discovered that
some such plants are free from the at

fact that their essential oils have anti

plants.

Affection for a Dog.

"One often hears" says Ernest F.
Priest, of Rochester, N. Y, who was
one of the arrivals at the Lindell last
night, "of the affection of dogs toward
their owners. There is a case in our

remarkable affection for his dog.
When the dogs mistress died and
housekeeping was broken up the
troubles of the man began. He in.

and there was scarcely boarding

When he finally got located, the dog
was so tiresome that he was asked to

He now hung some three feet below

as the cradle above slightly rocked

Says the New York Observer: We
do not know how many hundred thou
sand times the old adage that "a little
knowledge is a dangerous thing, has
been repeated, but we think it is about
time that some one should give us as
condensed a suggestion of the possible
evil effects of great knowledge. 1t is
not at all certain that the wonderful
knowledge achieved in the scientific
world, which enables men to make
such deadly munitions of war as are
now produced, is blessing to man
kind The London Spectator calls at
tention to the fact that the new ex.
plosiye of anarchism could not have
been created without the diffusion of
chemical knowledge. A burglar can
use chloroform in his nefarious Iar-
suit quite as successfully as a surgeon
can relieve pain with it. Much of the
crime of the day is committed by per-
sons of education, whose resources in
that respect aid them in their opera
iions. The conclusion to be reached
in the matter is, that knowledge, like
ell other good thing, needs TO be
sanetifed, in order to be put to the
highest use for the blessing of man
