Peculiar fruit oil The Mauaiaia Ass,.

The mountain ash is sp:oics OF
Sorbus, and the berries are fonnd to
contain snccharine substance wholly
peculiar to this fruit, and which has
therefore been named sorbitoI. Tho
chemical world has been astoaished to
find precisely the same substance in q
species OF cherry--Cerasus lawn
cerasus. The same chemists, Vincent
and Delachanai, have fonul in tho
fruit of this species of cherry, manni-
toll, n substance hitherto found among
trees, chiefly in the mama ash. a re-.
markahie circumstance about the Int.
ter is that it is found to some extent
III some seaweels and in mushroo rs
plants so widely separated gcneti-
call y from the mama ash from which
tho substance originally derived its
name.-New York Independent.

Primitive Fire Engines.

The Oldest known fire engine for
pumping water is probably the one
mentioned i'll the Spirtalia or Hero,
about 100 B. C. This engine, it is
said, WAS contrived with two single
acting pumps with single beam
piyotel between tho two for working
the plungers. The streams OF water
united i'll IL single discharge pipe and
passed. up trough having IN air
chamber, and out of nozzle which
might be turned in any direction rs
desired. Fire engines appear also to
have boon used extensively by tho
carly Romans, who, furthermore, or
ganized regular fire brigales.
In tho carly part of tho sixteenth
century fire engine known rs II
"watcr syringe" WAS introduced,
which, i'll measure, resembles tho
modern forms of fire engines. This
was mounted on wheels aud the water
WAS pumped by levers. This form of
engine was very generally used in
Germany. In England about tho
same time large brass sYringes wero
uscl. These held several quarts OF
wnter and were operated by three
men, two of them holding the syringe
ut each side with Que hand and direct
ing the nozzle with the other, whils
the third operated the plunger. 1t
was necessary, after having discharged
the water from the syringe, to refill it
from we'll or cistcrn near the fire or
from buckets. The syringes were
inter fitted to portable tanks of water.
The first successful fire engine was
probably the Newsham engine, and
this was the pioneer of manually oper-
ated fire engines. Tue pumps IN these
engines were built on many different
designs, but in most cases they were
operated by levers. Fire engines
similar in form to the New sham engine
were in use up to the year 1885,

Mails Carried by Wire.

Richard i. Sherman, Chicago

carry tho mails through the mir over
tho tops OF buildings by means of
electric cars travelling on Il wire cable.
The inventor says he has discovered a.

vincing tho postal authorities that his
plan is practical, and all is ready to
put the experimental line in operation

Mr.. Sherman's description OF his
combined moter and carrier is as fol-
low:
"The whole arrangement weighs
thirty-two pounds. The motor alono
weighs eighteen pounds, and its
strength is ono-fourth horsepower, as
proved by actual tests 1t is tho
strongest motor of it's weight ever
constructed. This part of tho ma
chino is tho valuable part. 1t will be
operated by II single wire without IL

patents i'll all foreign countries, and
will keep the secret of its construction
until tho patents are oil secured. All
parts of the carrier. except tho motors,
are made of aluminium. Tho cars arc

Those Stimulated Min, IS.

Some of our Republican contempor-
aries which profess to DO looking for
ward to re-enactment of the McKtn-
ley tariff are now telling their readers
That nothing but the election OF a
Democratic President in 1892 pre-
vented tho production of largo guam
titles OF tin, the metal, IN American
mines under the benign INFLUENCE tof
the Mckinley duty OF four centa q
pound. After this wo shall be sur
priscd by nothing that Mckinley
organ may say. Tue Chicago Inter,
Ocean of the 10th inst. remarks that
"the discovery OF tin, in paying guam.
titles in the vicinity of Harney's Peak,
in the Black Hills, in 1891, led to the
tin plato tax OF the Mckinley bill. -
This is news indeed. The prevailing
impression is that the makers of "tlie
tin plate tax" were not moved by
desire to develop tin mines. "Fho inn
position of a tariff, to bar out impor-
tation OF foreign tin (of which our
manufacturers uso more than 40, 000,-
600 pounds per annum), stimulated, ;"
our contemporary goes on to say,
the effort to utilize the mineral
found in this country. British capital
aided in forming tho Harvey Peak
Mining Company, and q London syn
dictate also purchased tho minos Mt
Temescal, Cal. The effect OF this
Stimulus was seen in tho tin proluc-
tion of this country III 1892, which
was no less than 162, 900 pounds. The
Presidential election OF that year Ren-
dering change of tariff policy pvSS,-
nble, tho mined proiu.t fell OF in
1898 to 1898 pounds"
But the duty was not imposed until
July 1, 1893, md tho only mine pro-
ducing thu in commercial quantities
about 270, 900 pounds in all. as COM.
pared with our annual consumption
of moro than 40, 0oo, 900 pouuds-was
closed and abandoned niue months
before that date. It couldn't wait for
''thc stimulus" Moreover, it wal
not closed because OF tho Presidential
election, for that election TOOK place
in November, 1892, aud the Tcnsscal
mine was shut mp AMI given up in tue
preceding September. Tin was nsyer
produced in commercial quantities ut
the other so-called mine III the Blac'z
Hills. The simple truth is That tho
mining of tin ore could not ba nla Is
profitable III either CT these 'stimu-
lated' mines. Tho percentages OF tao.
metal was too small to warrant smalt-
ing for anything but politisA. par

The advantages of wido tires. for
both the team and the rond, aro
thoroughly demonstrated, declares tho
American Agriculturist. To by law
compel the adoption of wide tires is
difficult, because of the danger of in
justice or hardship to individuals.
The Pennsylvania House of Represen.
tativos has passed bill that aims TO
BRING about this result so gradually
that there can be little objection tn
the measure. Other legislation in be-
half OF good roads is Oh the docket in
several States, but most important 10
1t to entirely abolish the system of
paying ones road taxes by work on
the roads. This wascful practice hos
prevented good roads wherever per-
united, because such slipshod meth.
Gus can never build or maintain good
roads.
