Co,orinr Oak with Ammonia,

Some Of the best specimens Of oaL
for decorative woodwork are now OBJ
tained, it is stated, by fumigating the
material with ammonlacal vapor,
which effectively produces the dark
coloring so much desired, In accom-
plishing this the method consists of
placing the material to be darkened
In an approximately air-tight room,
IN which no light enters; or for small
work packing box will suffice, the
Joints or cracks to be we'll pasted over
with paper. In this room or recep-
tacle for depositing the furniture or
other articles is placed fat porce-
lain or earthen vessel filed With am
monia, the vessel containing the
LIQUID being, Of course, set on the
ground or floor, that the fumes or
vapor may strike to advantage the
articles to be darkened. If the apart
ment is large, two Or more vessels
containing ammonia may be employed
and allowed to remain until the de-
sired effect is secured. The ammonia
does not touch the oak, but tie gas
that proceeds from it acts in Pc
culiar manner upon the tannic acid
contained in the oak, browning it so
deeply that shaving or two may
actually be taken off without remov-
ing the color. The depth Of shade
depend upon the quantity of ammonia
used and the duration of exposure. -

sunspots and Thunder-stos7n..

Among the supposed relations be.
tween sunspots and the atmosphere
of the earth is one in which thunder.
storms are concerned. Half dozen
years ago it was noticed in Bavaria
that destructive lightning strokes
were apparently less numerous during
maximum than during minimum
of sunspots, and Doctor Won Bezold
came to the conclusion that shigh
temperatures and spotless solar
surface give years abounding. in thun'
der-storms:"
If this theory Is correct, the sum-
mer just passed should have been COM
paratiYely free from thunder-storms,
for the sunspots are now approaching
a maximum.
Next summer also should, upon the
same hypothesis, witness relatively
few thunder-storms In England
there has, indeed, been noticed this
year an apparent tendency to follow
the supposed law described above, as
thunder-storms there have been less
numerous than they were few years
ago, when the sunspots were nea.
their minimum.
Probably, as is the case with all the
other supposed relations between sun
spots and terrestrial phenomena, the
proof in this case will be very slow to
obtain and very far from convincing,
nntil we have learned much more
than we now know Of the general
laws Of the solar action.

Plate Glass Insurance.

Window glass was first manufactured
in London in 1857, but for e long time
it was a luxury within the reach Of the
opulent only. Now, however, its use
is universal in all civilized countri..
and only measured in extent and quail
ity by the size of the buildings in which
it is employed for light and ornamep-
tation.
Plate glass windows, especially in
front of large business establishments,
are now used for show purposes, and
are only limited in size by the height
and width of the store front. So gen.
eral and liberal has their use become
that it is found necessary to organize
companies which undertake, for a
moderate premium, to replace them in
case of breakage, and the growth and
development of these companies, stim-
ulsted by active competition, attest to
agreat degree the encouragement which
has been given to the plate glass bust
ness by the protection afforded to its
increased use.-Insurance Monitor

"Yes, I told him, but he said he

did you do?"

a PardonapIe Difference.

There had been a homicide in a
saloon and one man was telling all
about it, even to the minutest detail.
He had seen it all and knew what he
was talking about, he said, and not
withstanding everybody had not i'm
plicit confidence in his statement, no
body cared to call him to account and
make him show proof. Naturally
such man would be a good witness
and at the examining trial he was
put on the stand.
What do you know about this af-
fair?" asked the court.
"Nothin' yer honor" he replied SO
promptly as to startle those who had
heard his story.
Didn't you," asked the surprised
Judge, "tell a number of people you
bad seen it all?"
Eyes, yer honor"
"Then how does it happen that
you say here that you don't know any
thing about it,"

Criminal Festivals.

The great solemn popular festival
of the Khonds included the annual
inmoIation of victim. After three
days of indescribsble orgies, in which
women often participated dressed like
men snd armed like warriors, the vic
tim was bound to stake in the midst
of the forest, and left there all night
alone; in the morning the people re-
turned, with great noise of bells and
gongs, singing and shoutmg;;' when
the multitude had become well intoxi.
Gated with the uproar, and greatly
excited by disorderly dances, the grand
priest would command silence and re-
cite long prayer, and would then
slay the victim, usually with single
stroke of the knife. The multitude,
which had been waiting for that mo.
ment, rushed upon the quarry with
piercing cries, each one trying to tear
off piece of the pslpitating flesh, to
hack the body to pieces.
A criminal ceremony existss among
the tribes of the interior Of Sumatra,
which is without doubt the survival
of an ancient and very cruel custom,
that has passed in the course of time
into civil and religious duty. These
people, although of rather gentle dis
position, piously and tremendously
kill and eat their aged parent, in the
belief that they are performing a sa-
cred duty. At the appointed day the
old man who is destined to be eaten
goes up into tree, at the foot Of
which are gathere the relatives and
friends Of the family. They strike
the trunk of the tree in cadence and
sing e funeral hymn. Then the old
man descends, his nearest relatives
deliberately kill him, and the attend
ants eat him.
With some peoples animals take the
place of human victims; but what we
had said is sufficient to show Shat even
with these peoples collective crime
was formerly solemn ceremony, al
though individual crime was already
regarded as something to be con-
demned. Popular Science Monthly.

Not On Our Road.

knew the conductor Of the train very
well, and he knew I wanted to see
cyclone. So he took me forward and
put me on the engine, telling the en-

black cloud was streaked ever and
anon with lightning as forked as a

boar OF the wind above the tremend-
pus breathing Of the engine. 1t was

The engine seemed to be driving
right into the storm center. looked

baemed to me my time had come.
When I opened my eyes the sky was

diamonds and the storm lay in the
back ground like monster that had
been oyerpowered. I looked at the
engineer. He was as calm as if he
had been at a harvest dance. As
soon as I could catch my breath I
said to him.

He gazed at me f1xedly moment,

Cinnamon.

The cultivation Of cinnamon u

straight young shoots springing W
round the stump of the plant pre-.

urn are cut every second year-that
Is to say. when they are about five
! eet high and two inches in circum'
serence. A good many of these are
i;old as walking sticks, and find a
ready market on board the steamers
among the passengers, Whothink there
must be a special charm in a CHINA
mon stick. though in truth 1t is hard
to distinguish it from our common
hazel.
But of course the real thing to be
secured is the highly aromatic inner
bark. First of all, the leaves are
stripped off. and then the bark is
split from end to end with a sharp
knife, which has curved point;
with this aided by the fingers,
the bark is carefully removed in lone
pieces. These are heaped up and left
to sodden, so as to f1cilitate the next
process-that of scraping off the outer
rind.
In order to do this, each piece OF
the bark is placed on round piece OF
wood and carefully scraped with the
knife, the almost nude brown work
ers sitting on the ground and using
their toes as an extra hand to steady
the end Of the stick.
The bark is then left to dry in the
sun, when it rolls itself up into tight
euills. These are neatly sorted and
packed. three OF four inside Of one
another, and are made up into bales
covered with cloth, and are then
ready for export.
Cinnamon is so extraordinarily sensi-
tive that great care has to be taken
with regard to its surroundings on
board ship, as bale Of very fine Gin.
naInon will lose much Of its delicate
aroma il packed among bales OF
coarser bark. Various eXpedients
have been tried to remedy this. The
Portuguese and Dutch isolated the
bales by packing them in cocoanut
fiber, or in cattle hides; but it is
found that the only real safety
guard is to pack bags Of pepper be-
tween the bales.
