value or u Dead Horse.

The horse carcass is of more pres
ent value for its chemical products
than the living animal. The carcass
is first relieved of it's hair by a shaw
ing process. The tail and name are
especially valuable; from these are
made hair cloth. The short hair tax
en- from the hide is used for stuffing
cushions and horse collars.
The hide is valuable; the leather
known as cordovan is made from the
skin over the rump and used in the
manufacture of high-class hunting
and wading boots, as it can be made
impervious to water. The other
leather is soft and is used mostly for
slippers and heavy driving gloves.
The hoofs are boiled to extract the
oil; the horny substance is shipped to
the manufactures of combs and what
are known as Mikado goods.
The carcass is cooked by steam at a
pressure Of three atmospheres. 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 bone
black after they have been treated
for the glue that is in them. In the
calcining Of these bones the vapors
raising are condensed and form the
chief source Of carbonate Of ammonia,
which constitutes the base of nearly
all ammoniacal salts. There is an an
imal oil yielded in the cooking pro-
cess which is deadly poison and en-
tiers into the composition Of many i'll
secticides and vermifuges.
The bones to make glue are dissolv-
ed in murIatic acid, dissolved in boil
ing water, cast into squares and dried
on nets. The phosphate of lime, acted
upon by sulphuric acid and calcined
with carbon, produces phosphorus for
lncifer matches. The remaining flesh
is distilled to obtain carbonate of am.
monia. The resulting mass Is pound
ed up with potash and then mixed
with old nails and iron of evey de-
~, scription. The whole is calclned and
yields yellow crystals of prussiate of
potash, with which tissues are dyed a
Prussian blue. and iron transformed
into steel. 1t also forms cyanide of
potassium and prussic aid.-Mining

looked at the bill a moment, hesitated,
then walked back and returned, handed
the sharper five counterfeit dollars.
The sharper looked at them a moment,

winked, and hurried out Of the bank.
1t is needless to say the bill was counter

War was proclaimed in.Central park.
The wapiti and the red deer bucks were
spelling for n fight. It is a way they
have at this season of the year, says the
New York Recorder, and in the forests
many n duel to the death is fought, with
no seconds standing by, and with no
human or other appreciative eye to wit
ness the valor displayed.
For the past few days the wapiti and
the biggest of the red deer bucks have
glarcd ut each other GRO the barbed
wire fence which separates them. Then
they began charging at each other, and
their antlers came together with many
n ~rcsounding crash. After much ma
~neIvering Keeper Snyder got a rope
over the horns of Mr.. Wapiti, but the
buck did not mind it in the least. Then
n dozen keepers got hold of the lariat,
and with great difficulty forced the
waPiti away from his painting rival, and
he was put into IL paddock where there
were only young fellow bucks whose
antlers had scarcely begun to sprout
and whom. of course, he would not con-
descend to attack.
The blood of the red stag, however,
seemed boiling, and having no longer q
foeman worthy of his horns he chased
and prodded the poor ladies of his
harem. The keepers, at the risk of
their lives, sawed off his antlers and
his martial spirit seems to be knocked
out of him forever.

he ook n hive OF them to the house of
n friend our miles distant. After some
lays, when the bees had become ia
miliar with their new surroundings,
some of them were liberated in n room.
where they soon settled on a plate of
honey which had been specially pre-
Jared for them. While they were busy
eating it their trainer placed ON their
backs the tiniest of dispatches, fastened
with the thinnest of thread. and so ar
ranged them as to leave the head and
wings absolutely free. They were then
thrown into the air and soon arrived at
their home with the letters on their
backs. The writing was magnified and
quite legible. Here, then, says the
london Telegraph. is an opening for a
new industry. Tn time of war bees
would have tho advantage over pigeons
of invisibility, and might go through
the enemy's lines with impunity.
