Rings AID Property.

Even as late as the sixteenth century
the conveyance of property by means OF
a ring is evidenced in the will of Anne
Barrett of Bury, England, dated 1904
in viii, she says: MY maryeng ryng
VT. All thynggs thereon" 1t is also
worthy of note that among the numer-
GUS kinds of evidence allowed In courts
of law to establish a pedigree, engrav-
ings on rings are admitted upon the
presumption that a person would not
wear ring with an error upon it.
The use of a seal or signet ring for
The purchase # property is mentioned
in the Bible. In jeremiah the formali-
ties are thus given: And I bought the
field of Harameel, and weighed him the
money, even seventeen shekels Of silver.
And 1 subscribed the evidence and
sealed 1t, and took witnesses, and
weighed him the money in the balances.
So 1 took the evidence Of the purchase,
both that which was sealed, according
to the law and custom. and that which
was open.

TEMPERING ALUMINIUM.
Recent Discovery That May Greatly
Increase Its Usefulness.

The successful tempering of aluminium
so as to give it the consistency of iron
is the latest triumph of f. Allard, the
Lewis blacksmith, whose rediscovery of
the lost Egyptian art of hardening cop
per startled the mechanical world some
three or four years ago and only failed
to make the fortune of it's author be-
cause of the expensiveness of the proc
esS. A recent trial of AlIarG-s tempered
ALUMINIUM has proved the success of
his new method in Quebec and the prac-
teal purposes to which it can be APP
piled. He has made and hardened cam
non, which has just been tested in pres
ence of Col. Spence, the American con-
sui, with the greatest success. This
cannon is twenty-six inches long and
hve inches in diameter, the metal of the
gun outside the bore being only a quar-
ter of an inch thick. A charge consist
ing of a pound of powder, has been sue
cessfully fired out of this little piece of
ordnance without having any appreci-
able effect upon it. A new and more
scientific trial of the cannon has been
ordered by the Canadian military au-
thorities, to be held Immediately at the
Quebec citadel by the artillery experts
there, and the United States consul, in
view of this move, is understood to
have encouraged Mr.. Allard to manu-
facture, as speedily as possible, can
non twelve feet in length for shipment
to Washington, but whether this is to
be at Allard's risk or by instructions
from the United States government is
not known and can not be learned here
The great advantage of cannons made
OF aluminium, everything else being
equal, lies of course in the Iightness of
the metal The cannon just tested here
weighs fourteen pounds. If it were Of
iron and the same dimensions it would
weigh $50 pounds. Allard's friends here,
and military enthusiasts over the pro-
Ject, assert that If the tempered alumni
mum supersedes iron for the making of
big guns field artillerymen, instead Of
being dependent upon horses and gun
carriages for dragging their weapons
over rough country, will be able to
shoulder them like muskets. In APP
pearance the finished specimen looks
as though it We're made of FURNISHED

About Elephants ronrues.

only few of the many people who
have thrown peanuts into the ele-
plants mouths" said Head Keeper
Marley of the Geological gardens to a
Philadelphia Record man, have no
ticed that the tongue is hung at both
ends. A tongue hung in the middle IL
a human complaint, but elephants
have monopoly on those hung at both
ends. The trunk suffices to put the
food just where it ought to be. and the
tongue simply keeps it moving from
side to side over the grinders. When a
peanut gets stuck on the elephant s
tongue he raises it in the middle, like a
moving caterpillar, and the shell cracks
against the roof Of the mouth to then
disappear down a capaeious throat

No Antidote For Snake Rites.

The annual death roll In India due to
snake bite is Of such serious Dimensions
that the government has for many years
done what it could to arrest the scourge.
The reward for snakes heads may be said
to have failed, for there is more than a
suspicion that the willy natives have been
breeding snakes for the sole purpose of de-
capitation. Antidotes have also failed. al
