VALUE OF A DEAD HORSE.

The bicycle age has brought about a pe- culiar and anomalous condition of the horse. Chemistry has made him worth moredead than when alive. Not long ago Portland, Ore, incinerating or reducing concern purchased roundup of Montana horses at three dollars per head-not for canning purposes, for as matter of fact, the horse who has served as a worker for fifteen or twenty years is more valuable for his chemical products than for food. The process of reduction, after death be gins by removing the hair by shaving process. The tail and mane are espec- ially valuable, and from these are made the hair cloth of commerce. The short hair taken from the hide is used to stuff cushions and horse collars, thus the dead are made to minister to the comfort of the living. The hide furnishes water proof leather known to the trade as cordovan, and is used for the manufacture of high class hunting and wading boots. The hoofs of the animal are removed, and after being boiled to extract the oil from them, the horny substance is shipped to the manufactures of combs and what are known as Mikado goods.
 Next the carcass is placed in a cylinder, and cooked by steam at a pressure of three atmosphere. This separates the flesh from the bones. The leg bones are very hard and white, and are used for handles of pocket and table cutlery. The ribs and head are burned to make black after they have been treated for the glue that Is in them. In the calcining of these bones the vapors arising are condensed and form the chief source of carbonate of ammonia, which constitutes the base of nearly all ammoniacal salts. There is an animal oil yielded in the cooking pro cess which is a deadly poison, and enters into the composition of many insecticides and vermituges.
 The bones to make glue are dissolved in muriatic acid, which takes the phos- phate of lime away the soft element re- taining the shape of the bone is dissolved in boiling water, cast into squares and dried on nets. The phosphate of limo, acted upon by sulphurie- acid and calcined \ with carbon, produces phosphorus for luci7er matches. The remaining flesh Is dlstIlled to obtain carbonate of ammonse.
 The resulting mass is pounded up VI n potash, and then mixed with old nails and iron of every description; the whole l is calcined and yields little yellow crys- 1 tals-prussiate of potash, with which tis- sues are dyed Prussian blue and iron transformed into steel. It also forms cyanide of potassium and prussic acid, the two most terrible poisons known in chemistry.
 Treated in this way, the total product of three-dollar horse is said to be twCn- ty-four dollars. s.-Neao IdeGS.

 'The Knoxville Journal" tells this story of General Sam Houston, the famous Texan: On a certain occasion he happened to give offence to @ political opponent, who felt his honor disfigured to such an extent that he sent a challenge to Houston. The bearer of the challenge was received with courtly civility. He handed the written challenge to General Houston, who read it, and, taking up his pen, wrote something across the back oi the folded paper and placed 1t in pigeon hole of his desk. He then went on to entertain the bearer of the challenge with the pleasant conversation for which he was noted. After time the man be gan to grow impatient, and, reminding the General of the challenge, asked him If he was going to reply.
 "Oh, Yes," said Houston, "Pm going to reply" "Well, are you going to accept the challenge of my friendp ?"
 Certainly will accept it."

 stNo, not tomorrow"
 "Next day?"
 "NO, not the next day, either." = Well, will you fix a date?" ] "No. I am not able now to, fix date. You saw me number your friends note; 1t is No. 49. There are forty-eight othel blanked scroundels ahead of your friend and must take them in turn. As soor as have killed them of l will attend tc your friend; but he will have to wait un. til his turn comes."
 The bearer of the challenge bowed himself out: but of course his friends turn never came, and 1t Is not probable that he was anxious for 1t to como.

AoTION OF THE RAIN.-The rain fall ing on the rocks sinks into every crack and crevice, carrying with it into these Assures surface material which has boon degraded by the weather, and thus af- fording matrix sufficient to start the growth of vegetation, and afterward to maintain the plants. The fbers and roots of these plants, bushes and trees thus brought into life, growing and ex- banding, act as wedges to split up the surface of the rock and to commence the process of wearing away. From this quality of destruction a large class of plants derive the name of Saxifrage5, or rock breakers, from their roots penetrat- ing into the minute Assures in search of water, and so assisting in the process of disintegration. In winter the water col lected in the hollows and cIevices be- comes frozen, and expanding as it changes material in breaking up the rocks. The pieces thus detached become further dis integrated by frost and weather, and, being rolled over and over and rubbed against each other as they are carried away down the mountain currents, are ground gradually smaller and smaller, till from fragments of rocks they become powders, then pebbles, and finally sand. As the mountain stream merges into the river the pebbles and coarse sand con- tinue to be rolled along the bottom of the channel, while the argillaceous par .ticles and salts become mingled with the water, and flow on with 1t either in sus- pension or solution. -LongmGn's.
