A Fnmous Dcad,e OF pnr,,.

Discours, the beadle OF the Church of
st. Roch, IN Paris, died on Saturday. He
was almost famous for his tall stature,
imposing air and rortly figure, and was
at once the tallest OF the Paris beadles
and the SENIOR of them oil. Provost, the
beadle of the Madeleine, stood next in
stature, and after him came the beadle
OF Notre Dame, an ex-drum major, who
was engaged two years ago by Archbish-
op Richard.
Discours was passionate lover Of bill
lizards and went every evening to play
at the Oafe Regence, where he used to
measure his skill with NJ. Grevy before
the latter was president Of the republic.
He constantly saw there man taller
than himself, Mr.. Theodore Tflton, the
American poet, who went to La Re
gence to play chess and was more than
a match for Grevy. The post Of beadle
in Paris church is much envied one
among the class Of men who compete for
It, AT Notre Dame, the Madeleine and
St. Clotilde the salary is EGO, and there
are perQuisttes at grand weddings and
funerals. In smaller churches the pay

Boiler Scales.

The use Of oil in preventing boiler
scale now 80 prevalent is met with the
objection that in using other than stand
ard oil of $50 to 800 degrees fire test
there is danger Of tho formation of what
is called oil scale. This, according to
chemical authority Is owing to the fact
that when the higher fire test oils arc
introduced they riso and float upon the
top Of the water. and the latter, impreg-
mated with sediment and mud, boils
and bubbles up through the oil scum on
top, and ON the water becoming vapor-
lied it liberatos the particles of mud
and scale contained, which fall back
upon this layer of oil upon the top of
the water. After awhile the layer OF oil
becomes so imprcgnatcd with mineral
substances that it sinks 10 the bottom
OF tho boiler, forming al incrustation,
or oil scale, which is as injurious to the
boiler as is the lime OF magnesium
scale. But the Same objection, it is re-
marked, has also been made to crude
petroleum. New York Sun
