Electrical Tanning.

In the Xeitschrift fuer Elektrochemie
Herr Folsing states that he has worked
out an electrical method of tanning,
which he considers is suitable for both
thin skins and heavy hides and only re-
quires three to six days. The tanning
pit contains $4,000 litres. Electrodes Of
nickeled copper are fixed to the walls
of the pit in which the hides are hung
so that the current has to pass right
through them. A current of twelve ann
peres with an e. m. f. Of twelve volts is
used. The color of the leather is not
quite satisfactory when commercial UNI
purified extract is used. The author lays
stress on this and he himself uses an
oak extract with little hemlock ex-
tract added which is cleared and de-
colorized by a special electrolytic process.
When this is used he finds that the color
is exceedingly good and bright. Light
coWhides were found to require seventy
two hours, heavy cowhides five days
and heavy oxhides six days. The latter
would require q year ~ the old process

Winding Steam Pipe with Wire.

The plan of winding steam pipes over
inches in diameter with 3-16-inch cop
per wire, thus nearly doubling the burst
engineering practice, says the Phiiadel-
phia Record In order that the thickness
of sheet copper forming the pipe may
be reduced to the minimum, and at the
same time insuring the full advantage
of wire winding, an improved system of
manufacturing steam pipes has been de-
vised, described as consisting in simply
using copper of the thinnest possible
gauge to form the interior or core of
the pipe. while the body proper is COM
posed of steel wire wound closely around
the core, the interstices being filled in
solid with copper by electrical deposit

The Greatest Medical Discovery
of the Age.
kENNEDY'S
MEDICAL DISCOVERY.
DONALD KENNEDY, OF ROxBuRY, MASS,


Has discovered in one of our common
pasture weeds a remedy that cures every
kind of Humor, from the worst Scrofula
down to common Pimpe.
He has tried it in over eleven hundred
cases, and never failed exceptin two cases
(both thunder humor). He has now in his
possession over two hundred certificates
of its value, all within twenty miles of
Boston. Send postal card for book.
A benefit is always experienced from
the first bottle, and perfect cure is war
ranted when the right quantity is taken.
When the lungs are affected it causes
shooting pains, like needles passing
through them; the same with the. Liver or
Bowels. This is cause, 1by the ducts being
stopped, and always disappears in week
after taking it. Read the label.
If the stomach is foul or bilious it will
cause squeamish feelings at first.
No change of diet ever necessary. Eat
the best you can get, and enough of it.
Dose, one tablespoonful in water at bed
time. Sold by all Druggists.

THE END.
Age Of Opera


How old is opera? Some scholars tell
us that the Greek plays were intoned
by the actors, and that the choruses were
sung. Being performed in the open air
this sort Of recitation was probably
adopted in order that the voices Of the
players might be carried farther. You
can throw your tones to much greater
distance II they are pitched on musical
key. Even babies are taught this by ma
ture. Their screams are strictly within
the lines OF musical notation. The
masses OF the church have always been
intoned. But when we come to the be-
glnnings of opera in shape and form
like that Of today. only ruder and prim
tive. we find nothing earlier than De Ia
Hale's comic opera of the Little Game
OF Robin and Marian"-in the thir-
teenth century French. Iii gieus de
Robin ct de Marian. This excellent
little work, wonder in view of the
times. does away with the current be-
lief that Italy was the birthplace of
opera.
Then there is blank until sixteenth
century. when poet and a composer
coilaborated work founded on the
story OF Orpheus and Eurydice. This
set the fashion for all time of librettist
and composer, only broken in upon by
wagner, who thought and taught that a
composer OF music should write the
words that accompany the notes-Mme
