Indian Ink.

Indian ink, Or encre de chine, as it
is more correctly called, says the Eng
lish consul at Wuku, China, is made as
follows: The chief material used is pure
COLA oil, or the oil expressed from the
poisonous seeds of tree extensively
cultivated in China and Japan. To this
oil varnish and pork fat are added, and
the lampblack produced by the combus-
ton of these materials is classed accord
ing to the materials and grade of fine
ness and time of combustion. The paste
made from this lampblack has some
glue added and is then beaten on wood
en- anvils with steel hammers into mass
es weighing about half a pound each. A
certain quantity of musk or Baroos cam
phor is added for seeming, and some
times gold leaf is used to give it a
metallic luster. This material is then
nodded in carved wooden molds, dried
for about 20 days and then gilded. The
price i'll China ranges from less than so
cents to $50 per pound. i'll the dozen OF
more different grades manufactured.
This ink is only made in the Anhur
province of China, and in 1895 about
two tons of it, valued at So, $50, We're
exported from Shanghai.

BEWARE OF THE VOLTS.
Things to Avoid In an Electric Station.
Advice of al Expert.


The danger peculiar to electrical gen
Grating works is the liability to shock,
which is often fatal if, by accident, any
one comes into contact with the con-
ductors when charged to high pres
sure, says the London Electrician. The
contact need neither be very perfect nor
direct Provided two parts of the body
are made to touch conducting materials
which themselves differ i'll pressure by
/ 900 volts or more or even by much
less, if the contact with the flesh is very
good, a dangerous and possibly fatal
shock will result.
The ground, especially if damp is
sufficient for one of the contacts, damp
leather boots affording no protection, so
that any one standing on the ground or
on metallic or damp wood flooring can
not safely touch a single object charged
to Il dangerous pressure. If, however,
he should be standing upon a dry india
rubber mat, which is an excellent non
conductor, he will come to no harm on
touching any number of dangerously
charged bodies which are at the same
electrical pressure, DuG II he should
simultaneously touch, even through his
clothes, two bodies which differ from
one another i'll pressure by about 1, 600
volts, the actual amount depending
largely on the perfection of the contact,
or if, while safely touching highly
charged metal, he should touch or pass
by hand any conducting article to some
one else who is not also insulated, then
fatal shock may follow.

A Novel GanpDlank.

A novel gangplank is being employed
by the international Steamship compa-
ny at its wharf at Eastport, Me. Owing
to variation of 26 feet in tide level,
and the fact that loading is accomplish
ed by trucks, considerable trouble has
always in the past been experienced III
loading and unloading, and at times
several men would be required to push
the trucks up the steep gangplank The
present arrangement is in brief revers-
ed treadmill operated by an electric mo-
tor through suitable gearing. The gang
plank is framing supporting moving
floor 60 feet long and 4 feet wide, upon
which the stevedores simply run their
loaded trucks and stand until they are
carried to the top of the incline. 1t is
found that the conveyor is in every way
a success and effects great saving i
time and money.-Engineering News

Careless Use of Cocaine.

The practice of applying cocaine to
the eyes of firemen in order to redu
the sensibility of the eyeball to Il
effects of smoke has been strongly con-
demned by the New York board of
health DR.. Fletcher Engalls, in COM
menting on this custom, says that not
only is it likely to produce victims to
the cocaine habit, but that, when used
often, cocaine kills the fine sensibilities
upon which the eyes depend. But in any
case the application of cocaine to the
eyes under such circumstances is quite
wrong. II it does deaden the sensibility
for the time being, it will not prevent
injury to them by the smoke.

NOT ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD.

A fact often overlooked, or not alwa 8
understood, is that women suffer as much
from distressing kidney and bladder
troubles as the men. The womb Is stu.
ated back of and very close to the blad-
der. and for that reason any distress, d.
sease or inconvenience manifested in the
kidneys, back, bladder or urinary pass
age is often, by mistake, attributed to
female weakness or womb trouble Of sort
The error is easily made and may be as
easily avoided by setting urine aside for
twenty-four he urs; q sediment or settling
is evidence that your kidneys and blad
der need doctoring. If VOC nave pain or
dull aching in the back, pass water too
frequently, or scanty supply, with smart
ing or burnlnR,-these are also convinc.
ing proofs OF kidney trouble. II you
