A Metal Sheathinl for Lumber.

A Baltimore mechanic has patented
process for incasin9 lumber in metal
plates, which, he claims, will make
the wood practically froproof. The
metal which he uses is piece OF sheet
steel, and the machinery draws it over
the lumber, as n glove is drawn on the
hand, rendering tho space between the
lumber and the metal perfectly air
tight. The metal is about tho thick.
ness of sheet of paper, and it can be
made and put on for less than cent q
square foot. 1t may we'll be doubted
whether it would furnish much pro.
lection against fire, but il the sheath
ing could be made of metal which
would resist salt water il would be in
valuable for piling along the coast. =

Tho Dancing Needles.

In the show window of an opticians
shop on fremont street, Boston, is u
line of compnsses which perform gyra-
tions marvellous to the lay mind, and
which incidentally afford an attractive
and mysterious advertisement for the
proprietor. They are TO all appear
ances not connected with any source
Of motion, and yet tho needles movo
all the time from right TO left, and
sometimes swing quite around the cir
Gle of their little boxes. The reason
is that the return current from tho
trolley lines on fremont street excrts
nh attraction on the compass needles
and causes the mysterious mot lions. =

Early London Streets.

In the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries, when London street was
newly formed, its name and date were
frequently recorded on tablet built
into the wall OF corner house. Tho
houses themselves were also som etimes
distinguished by initials, namos or
dates, either placed like tho street
tablets or on n rain pipe or inside the
building.
Some of these relics still survive,
but there is constant danger of their
destruction, for every year many old
houses are leveled with the ground,
and streets, once important, cease to
exist, are merged in other streets, or
lose their Importance by being re.
named. London Notes and Queries.

No Buddhisis in india.

Marion Crawford is true Co.'S
mopolite, equally at home in Bensres
or on Broadway, and yet his inagina-
tion seems mostly dominated by the
things OF the Orient. In the Century
he has an interesting article on Goods
of India" treating the subject in his
own graceful, attractive way. Indie
has served many gods, he says, and
the monuments raised in their honor
are countless. 1t appears to be gener-
ally believed at the present day that
the religion of India is Buddhism.
How this common impression gained
ground it is hard to say. When Sir
Edwin Arnold published "The Light
of Asia, he did not think it necessary
to state that Gautama the Master had
no longer any following i'll the coun'
try which witnessed his birth and
holy life; but Sir Edwin's book pro-
duced religious revival, or some
thing very like it, among n certain
class of semi-intelligent readers who
are continually foraging for some
new titbit of religion with which to
tickle the dull sense Of their immor.
tality into a relish for heaven.
There are no Buddhists in India.
There are many in Ceylon, and there
is sect of them in Nepal, an indie
pendent territory to the north, on
the borders of Buddhistic Tibet. The
religion vanished from India in tn ,

gods and idols of the great neo.
Brahmanic religions, Vishnu.worship
and Siva-worship; and these swept
everything else before them until the
Mohammedan conquest; and at the
present day, in one shape or another,
these forms of belief are adhered to
by five-sixths of the population, the
remainder being Mussulmans. The
