One Of the most perplexing problems
that the mechanical engineer or the So g.
perintendent Of msnufac turing estab-
llsbment encounters is the dnvetailing
OF new buildings upon old ones so as to
work in harmony with them and at the
same time introduce such improve
ments as may be Necessary Frequently
half dozen buildings arc erected On q
large plot Of ground, each building fac
ing IN way that seems most conven-
lent at the time and without any particu-
lar reference TO the others When the
establishment has grown SO that the
available ground area must be nearly
covered over with buildings and each
one must, either by shafting or betting,
he connected with its neighbor or with
some central source Of power, then the
trouble arising from lack Of harmony in
the original structures makes itself felt
IN most aggravating manner. 1t seems
sometimes as though trouble had been
created on purpose by those who first
erected the shops, SO ageravating and
uncomproDising do the bui ldines ap-
pear. The moral therefore Is that in
putting up shop it is we'll to think a
long way ahead and 10 consider at least
some Of the most probable contingencies
OF the future. -Cassier' Magazine.

A story that has been written about
Field concerns the trick he played ON
two car loads Of Kansas City merchants
who went away one time ON an excur-
sion. Each car was to go by a different
route, and the cars separated at IN early
hour in the morning when everybody
was asleep, except Gene Field. who was
along to write up the trip. Just before
the cars parted company he carried all
the shoes from one sleeper into the other
and carefully exchanged them. Then he
took the shoes from the sleeper that had
double supply and carried them into
the sleeper where nobody had any shoes.
The next morning there was a blue
streak two ways across Kansas. Every
man in both sleepers was miles and
miles away from his own shoes.

weightinE Silk.

Some Improvements in the treatment
Of silk are noted Ordinarily silk is
weighted" by depositing tannate Of
tin on the fiber; the material receives a
bath Of fannie acid and then another of
perchloride Of tin, repetition Of this
being made until an increase Of the
weight amounts to from Is to 90 per
cent, beyond which it is not considered
safe to go in the case Of silk intended to
be dyed Light shades or to be bleached.
Recently German inventor has brought
forward process in which silica is the
weighing agent. In carrying cot this
method three steps are described. First,
the silk, raw or in any stage Of manu-
facture and either before or after dye
ing. is worked for an hour in bath Of
perchloride Of tin; then. after squeezing
and washing, it is worked in a warm
solution Of water glass or soluble sill
cate Of soda for about an hour, followed
by washing. having also been previously
passed through solution Of phosphate
Of soda The operation may be repeated
again and again with no harmful effect
on the fiber or On the subsequent dye
ing, and in five operations the silk may
be increased in weight some 100 to 100
per cent The silk is now soaped, and,
II already dyed, is cleared in an emul-
sion Of olive oil and acid. New York

Matching Egg ON . Fire Engine.

A good story is told concerning the
members Of the fire brigade in a certain
town not far from Hastings. On one &C.
casion it appears fire broke out in the
town, and a rush was naturally made
for the fire engine. which was always
kept On the premises Of one Of the in
habitants. When the men attempted to
take the engine ont. however, they were
met with the exclamation from the Gus
todian:
Hi! ye can't take that out. I've got
hen sitting on there, and you II break
her eggs"

the force OF this argument, instantly
withdrew, and the fire was put out by

WELSH SUGGESTIONS.

They Associate Spectral Hoands with
Mountatn Storma.
One Of the many curious superstitions
Of the Welsh peasantry is that Of Cron
Anuwn, or the spirit hounds Of the
air" When a storm RACES over the
mountains Of Wales. the peasant will
tell you that his ear can discern the
howl Of the Cron Annwn mingled with
that Of the wind, but sufficiently clear
and distinct to admit Of no mistake Of
what it is.
These spirit hounds, he tells you.
are the spectral dogs which hunt the
souls Of the dead. or which foreteu. by
their expectan. cry, the approaching
death Of some person Of evil deeds Few
Of those who pretend that they can 50
readily distinguish the cry of the soul
hunting pack are willing to admit that
they have ever actually seen a Cron
Annwn. "for," they say, who would
linger until such specters dawned upon
the sight?" They are described by Fall
esin, and also in the .Mabinogion.
where it is said they are Of clear. shin
ing white, with red ears The above
seems to be the universal description,
and on that account the author Of
Mythology Of the Ancient Druids"
gives it as his opinion that they are
really mystical transformations Of
Druidish priests. with their white robes
and red tiaras.
In the popular supers,itions Of Ire
land, where a similar belief in spectral
hounds exists, they are said to be Jet
black, with eyes and teeth of fire." Old
Con McMichael, who murdered go per
sons in the early part Of the fifteenth
century. and who got rid Of his victims
by burning their bodies. is said to have
been eaten by spectral dogs that could
be seen high in the air awfully rending
and tearing his flesh One Of the pecul-
iarities of the Cron Annwn, according
to the Rev. Edmund James, is that the
farther away they are the louder their
cries appear. the sound decreasing as they
draw near.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

HIS GRAcE's susPeNoeRs.
Clever Russ BY Which weIlineton's Aato
graph was Secured.

graph was Secured.
1t Is well known that toward the lat
ter years of the Duke Of Wellington 3
life it was next to impossible to coax or
wheedle his autograph out Of him. All
the stratagems used to get reply from
him to letters failed; he either did not
answer them at all or directed his pri-
vate secretary to do so. and thus the ia
nous signature Of Wellington" became
rarity highly priced by collectors
Apropos Of this Answers tells uf a
London lady who had an album gar
nished with the autographs Of most Of
the great men OF the day, but wanted
that Of the Great Captain" She men
toned her distress to friend. a certain
MIR. b., and few days after be, to her
great surprise and pleasure. brought her
note from the hand Of the victor OF
Waterloo. 1t ran thus:
Field Marshal the Duke Of Yelling
ton never ordered pair Of braces Of the
Messrs. Simpkin. II F. NJ. the Duke Of
Wellington had ordered the articles. he
could not forget il. F. NJ the Duke Of
wellington always pays for his braces. "
This was very odd document for a
lady's album, but its authenticity was
undoubted, and it therefore found the
best place In the interesting collection.
The way in which this singular rose
was ELECTED was this:
Mr.. e. filed up one Of the bankruptcy
court forms and signed it, informing
the duke that in winding up the affairs
OF Messrs. Simpkin he tthe assignee)
found on their books the sum Of &c. I'd.
due by his grace for pair Of braces,
which he requested the duke would i'm
mediately pay or have paid Mr. H.'s
ruse was founded ON pure fiction. but it
succeeded
