Mineral Blotting paper"

Mineral blotting stone is a novelty.
1t was exhibited at the meeting Of the
National Academy of Sciences recently
in session at Washington. On the desk
of one of the scientists was thin slice Of
light colored stone. He used it for a
blotter, and it absorbed ink better than
any bibulous paper. 1t was a piece of
the new mineral blotting stone, soon to
be put on the market by Missouri
firm. The stuff is a formation COM
posed Of sediment deposited by certain
hot springs. 1t has been accommodating
for ages in the locality mentioned, and
is available in inexhaustible quantities.
Highly porous, it will take up a surpriss--
ing quantity of ink. The merchant will
employ it incidentally as paper
weight, and occasionally the office boy
will scrape it off with a knife-an easy
task, the substance being very soft
making it as good as new.

Olden Time Donation Parties.

The rural donation party" of olden
times is changing somewhat in character
in parts of the South. There was a
time when the family of the parson to
whom the party was given suddenly
found itself overwhelmed without warn
ing by half the congregation. The
swarming farmers, their wives and chill
dren took possession of the house, filled
every room. made great dinner of the
food they brought and fed as many as
200 persons. They went home late at
night, leaving the parsons home a con-
fusion of riches, his corn bins filled to
the brim and his pocketbook replenished.
Now the parson usually receives warn
ing of the threatened invasion, the
gifts are more wisely adapted to the
family's needs, and in some cases the so
cial features of the occasion are almost

Ten Plants Recently Sold at Auction for
$4,000.
The white Gala lily of our gardens is
we'll known, it still retaining the original
name of Gala, although botanists have
in modern times removed it to anoth er
genus, which is called Richardia. Gala
will, however, long be its common
name. 1t has been frequently limited
that there are species with other colors,
which would soon come into cultiva-
ton; but so far these have been mere
rumors. 1t is now definitely known that
there is bright yellow species,
which has been named by botanists
Gala Elliottiana. The one in cultiva-
ton, known as Richardia maculata, has
a slightly yellowish tint sometimes.
The new one is said to be clear vel
low, and has leaves spotted with white,
similar to our common maculata. Only
one original plant was introduced and
it is said there are only a few propa-
gated from it in cultivation. Ten plants
were recently sold at auction in Lon
don, and bought by enterprising forests
for So 900, which is considered the larg-
est figures ever obtained for auction
plants. Another yellow one has been
introduced under the name Of Gala

having larger foliage and richer colored
spathes, but which has not yet been Of

DEATH OF GOETHE.
Scenes and Incidents Come cted with

Scenes and Incidents Connected with
the Obsequi+s of the Poet.
On March %, 1892, the poet, novelist
and philosopher Goethe departed this
life at Weimar. The Court Theater, of
which he had had direction for more
than forty years, was closed by order OF
his muni6cent Mec9nas. the Grand
Duke. The body of the illustrious de-
ceased was laid in state four days later,
dressed in white satin with a purple
fringe, and a laurel crown on the
Jupiter head. There he lay, as if
sleeping, in his sarcophagus, by the
side of which eight candelabra with
burning candles stood. His orders lay
on velvet cushions. Savants, artists,
officials, burghers and artisans held
the dcathwatch in turn. Thousands OF
people fiocked in to see the incompar-
able man for the last time. His funeral
took place on the afternoon Of the last
day of the month. More than 10000
people lined the streets on the road to
the cemetery, which was also crowded.
By the side of the hearse, which was
drawn by four black-plumed horses,
walked twelve marshals; after it came
the state carriages. Next came the
mourners, at the head Of whom were
the first officials and the court servants.
In front Of the hearse walked the
theatrical company, ard four-and-
twenty leading citizens, who, when the
hearse arrived at the vault. let down
the coffin, and placed it by the side of

happening was made possible by the
fact that the horse, large, powerful
animal, attached to dray, was quietly
standing while his driver was unloading

MAKING DIAMONDS.
Interesting Experiments Being Carried
OH by French Chemists.


French chemists, who have been for
years working on all imaginable lines
that might lead to success in this IN
dertaking, have recently succeeded in
making diamonds larger than those
heretofore produced. AS step in the
progress Of this research the increased
size is Of considerable importance, al
though the stones are of very little
commercial value. They are good for
polishing and serve various other pur-
poses. but their chief interest is as
chemical possibilities.
In the manufacture of diamonds, iron
and carbon have been mixed and
brought to very high temperature,
then allowed to cool, when the carbon
is found deposited in little pockets in
the iron. So small, however, were
these crystals that the experimenter
questioned the ordinary methods of
cooling and tried others, plunging the
intensely hot metal in cold water. The
work of this chemist will be watched
with great interest, for once the process

cred there is practically no limit to the

When the couple returned home the first
thing that attracted their attention was

to the top rail, his feet nearly touched
the ground, and hung by the chain I'M
til he was stiff in death. They walked
into the yard, and there found a young
calf that was in the yard also dead and
considerably mangled. Mr.. Chamlin

the horse to the barn, and his wife went
into the kitchen to kindle a fire. Her

PROTECTION OF BIRDS.
The English Society Actively at Work in
Their Defense.

Their Defense.
The third annual report of the Society
for the Protection of Birds-an associa-
ton that is worthy Of every supports
an interesting and encouraging docu-
ment, says the Liverpool Mercury.
Perhaps the most gratifying item in it
is the announcement that the member
ship has increased two-fold. Incorpo-
rated with the pamphlet is paper by
Prof. Newton, which, like the report
itself, is instructive reading. From
Prof. Newton we learn that the abund-
ance of game has little, if anything, to
do with the scarcity of birds of prey.
Why, then, slaughter the very creatures
which keep in check the more destruct-
i've birds?
The professor also has word to say
on behalf Of sea fowls, which are wan
tonly destroyed in thousands on our
sea coast. These birds are not furious
IN any way; yet excursion trains are
run in breeding seasons from thickly-
populated districts to the haunts of
gulls and terms carrying thither bands
of gunners, who slaughter them in
thousands. After showing the number
of birds that are killed for the plumage
trade, and pointing out the threatened
extinction of the kittiwake, Mr.. New
ton concludes with the assurance that
the person who wears the plumes in
her hat clears the murderer's brand
on her forehead"

Visitors to the Worlds Fair will re-
call the wonderful beauty of much of
the German colored glassware, which
far excelled some of the most noted
French specimens. The production of
this beautiful coloring is a rare art
which has come down to the German
glassblowers of to-day through many
generations. The apparatus used is a
sheet iron cylinder, 20 inches long and
S inches diameter, standing vertically,
and having a similar cylinder riveted
across the top, thus forming T-shaped
muffle. While the glassblower is re-
heating his work for the last time, an
attendant slips into the mutfie a long
iron ladle, which has been made red
hot, and into which has been shaken a
specially prepared chemical mixture.
The mixture Immediately gives off
vapor in the horizontal cylin-
der, where the work of the blower,
heated to an even red by the blow
pipe, is being rapidly revolved. In a
short time the object is covered with a
changeable luster, and is removed from
the pipe, tempered in an oven, then
cut, engraved, painted, or gilded as
desired.
