as 10 Residence.
An ex-senator of the United States
lives in church in Washington, and
seems to like it, The peculiar thing
about IL Is that the church in question
is still in II condition which would per-
nit of the words Of truth being ut
tered every Sunday from the sacred
desk, and that the ex-senator il one OF
the wealthiest men in Washington,
and could afford to dwell in the finest
mansion in the city, with all the re-
iinements Of civilization. Everybody
knows the picturesque and vine-clad,
little church on Massachusetts avenue,
at the intersection of Eighteenth and
p streets. Ex-senator Van Wyck, his
wife and young daughter have made it
their home.
Mrs. Van Wyck owns the property,
1t having been bought by her husband
and presented to her AS little after
dinner favor the day they were lcav-
ing Washington for Nebraska, at the
conclusion of the latter's senatorial
career. 1t has been the scene OF High
Church Episcopal and Swedenborgan
services, but lately has been idle.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Van Wyck came
here to attend to repairs then in pro-
gress upon their own property, the
former suggested that they camp out
in their empty church. Mr.. Van
Wyck has IL horror of mounting stops.
and thought it would be u great scheme
to live on the ground floor. So they
moved to the church and divided of
the auditorium by imaginary lines
into a parlor, bed rooms. dining room
and picture gallery. The pictures
they had stored away here in plenty.
and a shopping expedition quickly pro-
vided the necessary furniture. The
vestry was turned into "a kitchen. and
the shining pipes OF the organ and
the decoration of the chancel helped
out the art gallery. Rugs, lamps.
small tables. easy chairs and sofas dot
the space all around, and papers and
books are in profusion.
With plenty Of servants and every
comfort possible, the household spends
the days very enjoyably in its novel
quarters.

soldering AiumInium.

Ono of the draw backs to the general
use of aluminium has been the difficulty
experienced in solderingit. Many per-
sons have entirely failed in their at
tempts to unite aluminium and other
metals or to join two pieces OF alumni
mum. A film or oxide formed upon
the surface of the metal seems to be
the cause of the non-adherence, and
this all ordinary methods have hereto
fore failed to remove. Recent expert
ments have brought out new methods,
and solder composed of fifty parts OF
tin, twenty-five of aluminium and
twenty-five of silver makes solder
that has thus far worked admirably.
1t is necessary to keep clean metal
surface, and this can be done by heat
ing the aluminium to be united until
the solder can be kept in II soft state
for an instant after contact with the
plates or sections. This causes coat
ing Of the solder to adhere to the sur
face of the metal, and no further
trouble is experienced. 1t has been
suggested that the outside of alumi-
mum articles that are to be put to-
gether should have "a coating of this
solder applied to their edges. If this
were done, the difficulty would be re-
moved, as the coating, already firmly
fixed, would need no further prepara'
ton.

MIucs of Wood.

A curious source of wealth is re-
ported by the French consul ut
Mongtze, in upper Tonquin. 1t lies in
wood mines. Tht wood originally was
pine forest, which the earth swal-
lowed in some cataclysm. Some of
the trees are yard in diameter. They
lie in slanting direction, and in sandy
soils which cover them to a depth of
about eight yards. As the top branches
are well preserved, it is thought the
geological convulsion which buried
them can not be of great antiquity.
The wood furnished by these timber
mines is imperishablc, and the Chinese
gladly bny it for collins. Along the
coast regions of some parts of New
Jersey there are trunks of cypress
trees, deeply buried in the sand, the re-
covery of which forms valuable in
dustry, the timber being used for MAX
ing shingles.
