Metal as a Building Material.

II is we'll within the memory of
many persons when metal rs a build
ing material was practically unknown,
says the Philadelphia Record. But
within few years building has been
almost rovolutionized by the use of
metal in various forms aud for various
purposes. Iron beams, columns, gir-
ders, rafters and window sRshes have
come into use, and now we are to
have as regular addition to our list
great variety of stamped-out sec
tions. These have heretofore been
made mostly out of galvanized iron
or some composition OF the spelter
sort, OF. in fine and high-priced work
bronze has been employed. Steel lie,
however, found to answer all demands
far better than any other metal used
for this purpose. Door and window
castings will be made of metal, and,
indeed, almost all parts OF n house
may be constructed of something be-
sides wood, With paper-pulp doors
and floors, metal frames and finish,

ment or concrets walls, our houses
may in time come to be actually fire.

Electricity Gencrated in His Mouth.

A curious. case has just been re.
corded in which an electric current
was found to be generated by pair
of artificial teeth. A patient con.
suited his doctor on account of Sc.
we're pain in his tongue. But the suf.
ferer was assured that there was moth.
ing the matter. He then paid visit
to his dentist, who informed him that
his teeth were perfectly sound. Be.
ing, however, dissatisfied he called
upon an electrician he knew and asked
him if it were possible he could have
any electricity in his mouth. On ex-
amining the teeth his friend found
that two metals were used to fix them
to composition plate. To these
metal wires were then attached and
connected to a galvanometer. Then
the teeth were replaced in the pa.
TENTS mouth and the metals moist
ened with saliva. No sooner was this
done than the galvanometer showed
quite large current from so small q
source-enough, it is stated to cause
liberation and severe pain when long
continued upon so sensitive an organ
as the tongue. The plate was covered
with an insulating varnish, and thence
forward all the trouble ceased. In

Our lighthouses.

The lighthouses of the world num-
Der more than 1000. The United
States has over 1900 houses and as
many posts. The latter are simpler
in construction and not very expen-
sive, since they are maintained on
shore. Our Government has been
proceeding with the theory that the
coast should be so sprinkled with
lights that the rays meet and pass I;
that vessel will meet the one in ad-
vance before the one in the rear is out
of sight. The annual appropriation
for their keeping is now nearly 81, .
900, 900.
Kerosene oil is that which has been
adopted by the Lighthouse Board as
the luminant, though gas, and, to a
limited extent, electricity, have been
given IA trial. Gas is being used only
at Alexandria, Va, aud Newburyport,
Mass. Kerosene is considered the
best and the cheapest. 1t is ever re-
liable. Electricity will no doubt be
adopted when Congress can be pre-
vailed upon to appropriate money. -

ACUTE DYSPEPSIA.
HEART OFTEN
ATTENDS 1T.

The Modern Treatment Consists in Re
moving the Cause.
(F'rom ne Republican, Cedar Rapids, Foico).
Mrs. V. Curley. who has resided in Clarence,
Iowa, for the past twenty-five years, tells an
interesting story of what she considers rescue
from premature death. Her narrative is as
follows;
"For ten years prior to 1894, was q con-
slant sufferer from acute stomach trouble. |
had all the manifold symptoms of acute dys-
pepsia, and at times other troubles were pres
ent in complication-I did not know what IL
was TO enjoy a meal No matter how careful
I might be as to the quality, quantity and
preparation Of my food. distress always fol-
lowed eating. I was despondent and blue.
Almost to the point Of insanity at times, and
would have been glad to die. Often and
often 1 could not sleep. Sympathetic heart
trouble set in and time and again was OBJ
liged to call doctor in the night TO relieve
sudden attacks Of suffocation which would
come on without moments warning.
"My troubles increased as time wore on and
spent large sums in doctor bills. being COM
PEELED TO have medical attendants almost con-
stantly. During 1892 and 1893, it was im-
possible for me to retain food. and water
brashes plagued me. 1 was reduced 20 a
skeleton. A consultation Of physicians was
unable TO determine just what did all me.
The doctors gave us ms their opinion that the
probable trouble was liberation OF the coats
of the stomach and held out no hope of re-
covery. One doctor said, 'All can do to
relieve your suffering is by the use of opium.
about this time a friend Of mine Mrs.
Symantha Smith. OF Glidden Iowa, told me
about the case OF Mrs. Thurston, Of Oxford
Junction, Iowa. This lady said she had been
afflicted much the same as ] had. She had
consulted local physicians without relief and
had gone TO Davenport for treatment. Giving
up all hope of recovery, she was persuaded
by friend to take DIR. Williams Pink Pills.
The result was almost magical.

THE ENGINE WENT ON.

I once had a curious and instructive con
versation with an engineer who had charge
OF large stationary engine. II was beau
tiful engine, and worked as true as steel
could work. The man surprised me by tell
ing me il had been at work ninety years
land do you know" he added, ''it has had
eight masters. l am the eighth who has had
the care of 1t. The others are all either dead
or worn out, and yet it goes on as If it wert
as young as ever. Very strange, sir, isn't it,
that an engine should live so much longer
than a man, and it is not hard work for us
either, or exposed work, for the room is al
ways warm and comfortable and the place is
Of course clean and light"
What did the men die from?n l asked.
"Well, three or four, am afraid, died of
drink, another of bad temper, another of
worry, and so on, but the engine went on
just the same" The fate of the engine, its
long life and continued industry puzzled the
man. He often In his lonely hours thought
of it and wondered how many men would
follow hip before the engine began to break
down. 1t did not puzzle me. That engine
worked great many hours a day truly, but
II was equable in its work; it never ran loose,
II was true in its vocation; 1t was bright as q
new pin, clean in every point; II was served
with best but simplest fuel food; II had its
furnace tubes clear; it was saved friction by
having its parts properly oiled, and It drank
nothing but water. So it lived on through
nearly three generations, with A good
chance of living through three more. 1t was
allowed, In fact, to make the most OF its
physical life
Its masters did not make the most of their
lives. They might have been somewhat in
dustrous, but they were not 50 orderly, 50
true, 50 steady, so clean as they made the
engine. They had not learned so well how
to find the best food and drink for their own
labor as had been found for the engine.
They did not make the most OF their lives,
and, therefore. they stopped, but the engine
went, still merrily, on its way.-Sir B. w.
Richardson, in Longman's Magazine

ProductIon Of Sounds br 1nsect,.

While the notes Of insects are
amonJ the loudest, and popularity
supposed to proceed from the mouth,
they are, in fact, instrumentat-in
other words, are produced by various
musical instruments with which ma
ture has endowed them, and yet
which, to some extent, correspond TO
the voice of other animals, the sounds
and calls being answered by others of
their kind. When the grasshopper
wishes to hail some companion or talk
TO Its fellow over the fence, it simply
rubs its thigh against the forewings,
or plays upon veritable fiddle. If
the leg of the musician be examined
under a microscope, ridge of very
fine teeth 1.-THE sound producers) will
be seen.
The loudest players are the locusts,
which often make the woods resound
with their calls. Sometimes all are
playing or chattering at once; again,
there will be lull in the conversation
then one will begin, the note will be
taken mp by another, and finally n
volume of sound will blend and fill
the air.
In the former case we had fiddler,
but here the musician is drummer,
rs we may ascertain by examining the
locust. The base of the anterior wing
is transparent, forming regular
drum, with which the males produce
their calls; and as there are many
different species, so there are many
different calls, and some, it is said,
have certain calls for night and others
for the daytime.
The cicada, by using q drum at the
base of the abdomen, produces a re-
markable sound, sufficient even to
frighten off an enemy, yet big wasp
will sometimes carry off a big cicada
despite the "zeeing" and drumming
of the victim.
The notes of the katydid are per-
haps as familiar as any, and have a
certain fascination, the sounds taking
on various infections and meanings.
They are produced through the rub.
bing of the inner surface of the hind
legs against the outer surface of the
front wings-through fiddling, in fact.
When the male cricket sings on the
hearth, it raises its forewlngs and
scrapes them against its hind ones.
Even the butterfly makes sound
audible at some distance, certain
species having been heard to produce
clicking sound. Scientific Amer.

Some time ago eight or ten lumbermen
went into hotel in one of our Western cities
and engaged a private parlor. They were
jolly, well-to-do fellows, and met to settle up
a years business over a social glass, having
had a successful speculation together. Sum
moning the gentlemanly clerk OF the house,
they ordered him to bring in the choicest
liquor to be Misunderstanding but tho
purest and finest article
The table was spread, glasses brought out,
and mirth and iollity prevailed. Presently
in came the clerk with silver pitcher of ice
water, and, as he filled each goblet, with
quiet dignity he remarked. "Gentlemen.
have done the best l could to obey your or
der, and here is the purest article to be found
In the United States"
All looked in dumb amazement, so unex-
pected and 80 ludicrous was their position
But they were equal to the occasion. Not a
word was said till each had his glass before
him, filled with the sparkling fluild. Almost
simultaneously they all raised their glasses,
and pledging each others health, made the
additional pledge not to drink anything
stronger for the year to come. Nearly twelve
months have passed, and they have been
loyal TO their vow. May we not hope that
the pledge may be renewed for life.-Zion's
Watchman.
