SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

The Schenectady Locomotive works
are using for certain parts what is
called "steeled iron" a mixture of 70
per cent. good iron and 30 per cent.
steel, Of which the castings obtained are
about 25 per cent greater in strength
than common cast iron.
North Carolina has u mica output
of 100000 pounds year. New Hamp-
shire produces about $4,000 pounds,
South Dakota $4,000 pounds and New
Mexico 1000 pounds The mica of North
Carolina is of the best quality and
brings the highest price.
Our exports of iron and steel and
their products for the first nine months
OF this year amounted in value to about
$32,000,00o the largest by over $4,000
900 in the history of the country. In
Guided in this sum were 1875 locomotives,
which were mostly sent to South Amer
lea.
The worlds record for lumber cut
ting is claimed for the Port Blallely mill
OF Port Blakely, Wash. During the ten
months of this year up to the end of
October s3,676,2le feet of lumber had
been cut at this one MILL and it is esti-
mated that the total output for 1895
will be at least 105,0O0,O00 feet. Load
ed in regular ear lots. this amount
would make train more than 60 miles
long.
An apostle of physical culture, ac-
cording to the Medical Record, saws
that nervous headache may be cured by
the simple act of walking backward
for ten minutes. ut is well to get in a |
long. narrow room, where the windows |
are high, and walk very slowly. placing !
first the ball of the foot on the floor. |
and then the heel. Besides curing the
headache, this exercise promotes a

IaAclLLl IN POSTAGE STAMPS.
A Now Scientific Discovery and How 1t Ex-
platned n stamp COLLECTORS Sickness.

A Now Scientific Discovery and How 1t Ex-
platped a stamp Collectors Sickness.
According TO the latest stories OF
medical science, the power OF the mi
crobe is daily becoming greater and
greater, says the New York World At
first the item went around that the
bacillus of disease lurked in the kiss;
then that infinitesimal thousands Of
| bacilli were hidden within the dirt in
crusting the dollar bill. Lastly, it has
come TO be known that an almost equal
| danger, medically, lies in the pages Of
| old books. A far more wonderful phase
OF microbia, though, is told in the re-
cent discovery of n French physician.
This is that the innocent-appearing
and clearly looking postage stamp is
vehicle that cannot be surpassed as u
transmitter. Ninety-nine out OF every
postage stamps are fastened on their
envelopes after being well moistened
with the tongue. Saliva, as is well
known, Is almost invariably, if not en-
tirely SO, the headquarters, as il were,
OF the disease bacilli that infcst any one
person. Upon the sticking on of each
postage stamp literally thousands of
these are carried away adhering to the
gum and many, it is assured, find their
way in the course of handling directly
into other organisms.
or course the danger most likely
comes to the man or woman who re-
ceiyes the letter, particularly If he or
she be stamp collector. Following
out this French theory an interesting
table OF statistics might be made upon
the prevalence Of contagious diseases
in families who have stamp collection
in their midst In default of this ever
having been attempted, one authenti-
Gated instance OF the transmission of
diseases germs has been given out. A
certain French gentleman was made
miserable quite recently by parasit-
zeal malady which spread over his beard
and caused him intense distress. His
physicians aid having been invoked. il
was discovered, strange to say. that
while the disease was well known tn
medical science, it existed only in Col
ombia, South America. The patient
mad never been to Colombia, however
nor had he even crossed the ocean at
any time OF his life. The only possible
clew that che doctor could get was that
me young man frequently received let
ters IRON a correspondent or two resid-
ing within Colombia's boundaries
quite sufficient was this to cause the
loctor TO make further investigation.
he round upon inquiry that the young
nan was more or less an enthusiastic
lamp collector, and that in the case of
these Colombian stamps he had torn

MUSICIAN argued, that while engaged

Republican always will be counted this
election as there are enough sound money
white Democrats to see that it is counted
for Mckinley. and this protection from
Democrats, mind you, has been pledged,

bly, will not be, "solid" this year.

Tree coinage at 16 to will fix the price
Oh silver at 81. 20 an ounce, the reply is
thht Tree coinnge does not fix any price
&c all The governments does not buy
the silver, merely changes it's form from
| bullion to coin. Its value as coin ia de-
6ermined by its purchasing power; and
Inc government has no control over that
whatever. If he means that the opening
oil our minis to silver will create an
unlimited demand for silver bullion at
a fixed price Of S1.29 an ounce, which is
the price the ratio to gold requires, the
answer is that he is mistaken. In the
first place the demand for silver would
not be unlimited, but restricted by the
demands of the purchasers Of silver dol
lars In the second place the price
would not be fixed at S1.29. or any other
figure, but would be what the silver dol
lar would exchange for in the worlds
