An electromagnetic Cannon.

This recent invention is dependent for
its action upon the principle of the force
of attraction and repulsion as caused by
magnetism. A brass tube, feet long,
az inches in diameter and | inch bore,
was wrapped with insulated wire along
its entire length, the current flowing
through different sections Of the wind
ings i'll such manner as to cause the
bullets to become temporary magnets,
which were attracted by the magnetic
lines of force ahead Of them and repealed
by those behind them thus giving the
projectiles an increasing impetus as they
pass along the gun. The bullets are
thrown forward in much the same man.
ner as the armature of an electric motor
is turned ON its axis. The cannon is
light, inexpensive, and its capacity for
throwing projectiles depends ON the ra-
pidity of loading the same. 1t is esti-

Manufacture of Gold Leaf.

The process by which gold is made
into thin leaves is called gold beating.
As yet the use of machinery for this.
purpose is very limited, nearly all golS,
leaf being beaten by hand. ~
First the gold is cast into obiong in
gots about three fourths of an inch in
width and weighing two ounces each.
These ingots are passed between pol
ished steel rollers and flattened out into
ribbons of about an eight hundredth of
an inch in thickness. The ribbons are
softened by heat and cut into pieces an
inch square.
One hundred and fifty Of these pieces
are placed between vellum leaves, one
piece above another, and the entire pile
is inclosed in double parchment case
and beaten with 16 pound hammer
until the inch pieces are extended to 4
inch squares. They are then taken from
the case, and each square is cut into
four pieces. The pieces thus obtained
are then placed between gold beater's
skin-a delicate membrane prepared
from the large intestine of the ox-made
into piles, inclosed in parchment case
and again beaten, but with hammer Of
lighter weight.
Still the leaves are not thin enough,
and once more each leaf is cut into four
pieces and again beaten. This last quar-
terlng and beating produces 2, 400 leaves,
and the thickness Of each leaf is about
one Neutrality-suspicious. of an inch.
Gold is SO malleable that it is possible
to obtain still greater degree Of thin
ness, but pot protitably.
These thin leaves are taken up with
wood pinchers, placed ON cushion,
blown out fiat and carefully cut into
squares 3l4 inches in size. The squares
are placed between the leaves of paper
books, which have previously been rub
bed with red chalk to prevent adhesions
of the gold each paper book containing
20 squares or leaves of gold, and in this
form the leaf is sold, not by weight, but
by superficial measure. -Philadelphia

The Novel Of Religion.

l heard long ago Of an enterprising
tradesman who desired to have the Old
Testament at least broken into q series
of romances BY others, very likely
much less pious men, no version Of these
narratives can be tolerated except the
ancient original versions. Yet many
readers or hearers are so familiar with
these, or think themselves so familiar
(they would probably break down under
examination), that something more
"spicy" is required by them. have
read an American novel about the love
affairs of Judas Iscariot and Mary Mag
dalene. 1t did not interest me, l own,
but it did make me laugh Probably a
more pious student would have been
edited. There is no accounting for
tastes. Perhaps no Biblical novel has
ever won critical applause or been reck-
oned a piece Of literature But such
novels hit large class of readers whose
tastes in other matters is not always
bad.
1t would be interesting to know what
the wits and critics Of the restoration
thought and said about "The Pilgrims
Progress" Probably they never looked
into the cheap little book at all, the
book which has outlived Etherege and
Sedley and Rochester and the rest Of
them. OF course it does not by any
means follow that every religious novel
read by the people who do read such
things ana neglected by critics is on
level with Bunyan's masterpiece. An

Incandescent Lamp Cleaner.

Many people blame the central sta

descent lamps, when the fault is really
their own They allow their lamps to be
dirty. 1t has been shown that one days
accumulation of dust ON incandescent
bulbs cuts off per cent of the light, SC
the result Of few days neglect can
easily be guessed. AS a means Of remov-
ing to great extent the frequent COM
plants of poorness of light a centra,

cleaner which greatly facilitates the
process of busting the bulbs. To foot

a set of rubber friction pads that will,
when suitably placed on the mittens,

TEMPERANCE.


One of these days when the world has grown better,
Hearts will be happier, burdens grow light,
When creed burdened man shall have broken each
fetter,
And girded himself in the cause of the right;
When hell's congregation quits gaining new
MEMBERS
As bigotry starts some new orthodox haze,
Truths blaze will flash forth from its pickering
embers,
And facts dsplace theories, one of these days.
when the folly of fighting our friends we uncover,
When each essentials kicked out of our
creeds;
When Christians all over the world shall discover.
THE religion of Goo" will be all that needs,
When the ceasing of war does away with the fighter,
when " do unto others guides all our ways,
Then the gentler man will be reckoned the mghtler
And dogmas won't count for much, one Of these
days.
One of these days, and it is not much farther,
Millen1ium's church will triumphantly stand
on the one fundamental-tha is God is our Father,
And man is our brother, and then hand in hand
see Christians and heather, both wiser and better,
Having both broken through superstiton's thick
mgzei
And our hearts will be lighter, Gods sunshine be
brighter,
The world be worth living in, one of these days.

Wait Till the Summer Comes.

A good story is related of a small trades
man in Welsh town. Last winter large
lake near the town became frozen over for
the first time for many years, and large
numbers of people from neighboring city
came over for the purpose Of enjoying
some skating. AS this sport was novelty
to the residents they became also DESTROYS
Of entering into it and besieged the local
iron monger for skates.
Incredible as it may appear, this indi-
vidual had never heard of such articles, but,
disdaining to admit his ignorance, replied
that he had not any in stock. Wearied at
last, however, by repeated orders for
skates, he remarked to his wife:
Mary, we must lay in stock of these
skates, for, look you, if there's such great
demand for them now, what will it be in
summer when the tourists comeP'-Tit-

MISCELLANY,
Poor Human Nature.

ia like to see one true and perfect man,
Who never slipped In lifes forbidding race;
Whose work has been according to the plan
so plainly mapped for fitting every case;
Just one whose gentle footsteps never ran
Astrayi I'd like to look in such face
And homage pay in songs of jubilee
To human nature, good as IL could be-
I've seen good people underneath the sun
Who did AS well as anybody could
Some cheerful glad, and always full of fun,
And others sad and almost goody good;
But, man or woman, not a single one
Who always did as they exactly should;
Some have one fault and some, of course, another;
The nearest perfect is my good old mother.
One at the church is always to be found,
Ready to speak the praises of the Master;
His words with logic wonderfully profound,
His object to avert worlds disaster
Yet in the business marts he hustles round
And has perhaps in many homes plaster,
His heart pulsating for the joys of heaven
Only, exclusively, one day in seven.
1 see another equally devout,
But full of vanity almost to scorning
He has some righteousness, beyond doubt,
Nor fears the awful resurrection morning;
But vanity he cannot live without.
And thinks too much of personal adjoining,
Against which failing very much was said
By one who had not where to lay his head
Man has been frail and weak and halt and blind,
And prone to 20 astray from the beginning,
So much so 1t is very hard to find
One who has always struck pace that's winning.
The very best. according to my mind,
Are subject to degrees of hateful SHINING;
And when one goes where grace cannot restore
him,
I'll not condemn, but just feel sorry for him.

great number of bridges and houses in

The question of Chinese loan seems to
have caused a marked divergence OF opin-
ion between Russia and Germany. Accord
ing to Germany's view, Russia has exc.
cuted sudden and curious vote face in
regard to Japan evacuating the Chinese
mainland. China has engaged not TO raise
further loan in six months, and as she
evidently cannot yet pay even the original
indemnity, Japan will consequently con-
tinue to occupy Port Arthur and Wei. Hal
Wei until the whole indemnity shall have
been paid. The Japanese will thus be com.
PEELED to look to Russia for counsel and
guidance, which is a result that never was
expected in Berlin when the action of Rus.

The present danger is that the relations be-
tween Russia and Germany may become
less cordial than ever.

IN Hamlet's fatherland the police
have invented rather peculiar but eff
fective method of preventing excuses
by habilual drunkards. Any inebriate
found'in the street is hustled into cab,
taken 10 the police station, and locked
up until he has grown sober. Then he
is taken to his home in cab by the po-
lice. Next bill is made out for the
repeated transportation of the tippler,
and presented for payment to the sa-
loon-keeper who sold the offending
drunkard the last glass of beer, wine or
other liquor. This bill is often large.
