Veneer Used for Wrapping.

Wood veneer is used to some extent
Tor doing up bundles, instead of paper
Curtain pole manufacturers, for in
stance, when shipping or delivering
poles in small lots wrap them up in
veneer. IT costs a little more than
paper, but not much, and tits much bet
ter for the purpose. Poles thus wrapped
up are less likely to be creased by the
cords tied around them, and the veneer
is a better protection from bruises in
handling. The veneer used for this pur-
pose is usually of elm wood and made in
the same factories where the poles are
made. Veneer is also used for wrapping
up picture mouldings.-N.Y Y. Sun.

A New Foe to American Trees.

Specimens of strange caterpillar
discovered this spring on pear trees in
Cambridge, Mass, are pronounced by
Prof. Samuel Henshaw to be the gold
tail" or euproctis chrysorrhoea, hither-
to unknown as an inhabitant of this
country, although it is found locally
in England, and is abundant in central
and southern Europe" When numer-
Gus, these caterpillars are very de-
structive, feeding on such trees and
plants as the apple, pear, plum, haw-
thorn, bramble, elm, willow, beech,
oak, hazelnut and hornbeam. At pres
ent the invaders in Massachusetts are
said to be confined to a limited area in
Somerville and Cambridge. The first
specimens seem to have made their
appearance a year ago, and thus far
they have confined themselves to pear
and apple trees. How they got across
the ocean nobody apparently knows.
1t is suggested that 10y vigorous meas
ures they may be stamped out

the Engine Room.
A comparison of the different meth
DDS of doing what is practically the
same thing in various parts of the
world is both interesting and amusing
to the thoughtful observer. On Amer
lean ferryboats the import is well
known of the ting ting" or Jingle
Jingle" of the bell by which the man
i'm the wheel house communicates with
his fellow mortal in the engine room.
On the Thames, however, it would be
considered practically impossible to
convey information in this manner,
and the captains of the small paddle
steamers on that stream stand on the
paddle boxes and sing out: Ease 'erl"
"BaclS 'er!" etc, apparently to nobody
in particular, while these interesting
remarks are promptly repeated in shrill
tones by small boy into speaking
tube which communicates with the
lower regions. On the Seine, in France,
this process is simplifed, and large
trumpet-shaped mouthpiece flares out
in front of the man at the wheel and he
wells his commands into this funnel, the
other end of which is supposed to reach
the engineer. The large steamers on
the Rhine, in Germany, are controlled,
not by the usual wheel placed in o
wheel house forward, but by a large
wheel on q vertical axis, placed right
amidships upon an elevated platform OF
bridge, and several men pass the
handles from right to left, or upon oc-
casion trot around in a circle, and it
would doubtless be considered a seri-
GUS temptation of providence, or at
least reflection upon the fatherland,
if anyone were to attempt to construct
a Rhine steamer with the ordinary
form of steering geer.-Cassier's Maya

Four Hundred Houses Durned ana 1880
Persons Made Homeless.

HAI1FAX, Oct. 1.-THE town OF Windsor, tho
birthplace OF Halliburton tSam Slick, was wiped
out by fire to-day. Four hundred houses were
burned and 1000 people rendered homeless.
Tho day was bitterly cold and a high wind was
raging. Some drunken roughs are said TO have
caused the fire, which originated in a barn in the
northern part OF the town and swept over an
area one milo long by "A half mile wide. The
flames spread with intense r%apidity, SO that
many were glad to abandon everything and
escape to the fields with their lives.
The Halifax Fire Department went to Wind
sor, which is ~forty.siy miles from the city, and
assisted much ia quc.ling the flames. Though
Windsor was built almost entirely Of wood, the
town did not own n single steam fire engine.
and had only n volunteer fire systcm of a nominal
strength of fifty men. Four churches, three
hotels, the Post Office, a furniture factory, and
an iron foundry are among the burned struc-
lures. Many private residences also went up in
smoke. Not n single place OF business is left.
The people were huddled together in the fields
until IA relief party from the city arrived.
On the first news OF the great loss Mayor
Stephen OF Halifax communicated with the
General commanding the forces at Halifax, and
by their joint cooperation a heavy provision
train was made up and 100 soldiers went to
Windsor.
Al this time the destitute have been housed
and provided for. The loss is about 81, 500. 600.

There was a large crowd at the railroad station

q firm hope that he would return victorious.
Gen. Bianco will have much liberty OF action.
in the hope that he may obtain the submission

promised to him. the Government still having
on hand $25, O0O, 600. with power to raise more.
Gen. Blanco will continue the military occu-
patton OF the four western provinces. He will
receive 1000 reinforcements before the end OF
November. which will enable him to operate ac-
lively in the eastern provinces. 1t is said here
that Gomez and Garcia, the insurgent leaders,
will not accept any scheme of autonomy which
falls much short Of the autonomy enjoyed BY
Canada.

BLESSINGS on THE RAIN.
Nebraska Farmers Are Now busy PIouEhinE

LINCOLN. Neb., Oct. 17.-More fall ploughing

Since the rain OF seven days ago. which ended
the drought Of two months, the farmers OF tho
State have been in the field all tho daylight
hours. Every man who is able to handle a
plough has been busy breaking up the ground
for the fall wheat seeding.
The grain average, which was believed to
have been c~urtailed one.third by tho extended
drought, has been extended until 1t will be at
least normal, and probably a little larger.
Showers have fallen almost daily over the State,
hut at no time has it been too wet to break
ground.
A large quantity OF virgin sod is also being
turned over preparatory to seeding next year.
The rains have brought out the range grass,
which was 30 terribly. burned, until 1t looks
quite green again. Tho continued summer

5000 RAGPICKER STRIKE.
A Novelty I'm East side Industrial Disturbances
-schoenreId TO Lead strikers.

Following the strikes OF the east side cloak
makers. cigarette makers, children's Jacket
makers and ether trades. comes the strike Of the
east side ragpiCkcrs. numbering 1000 men and
l.OOO women. The strikers were formerly in
the employ Of Kaplan & Grossman, whole
sale dealers, 11S and 100 Elizabeth street.
This number does not include the 5000 or more
pickers and sorters who work at sorting the
waste strippings and ofals found in tho sweat
shops. The majority of these are Italians and
orthodox Jews, and work in dingy Easements,
alleys. rear tenements. and disused workshops
at a ~pittance ranging from SO. SO to 81. so a week
OF eighty-four hours.
The trouble with Kaplan & Grossman began
last Friday, when the firm had Benjamin
Cooperman Of 90 Columbia street arrested and
held in Essex Market Court on the technical
charge Of interfering with the business OF the
concern by forming its employees into a union;
in the organization OF Clipsorters' Union No. l
OF New YORK.
1t has a membership OF 5000. and is entirely
free from any changing alliance with either
America, or the Knights OF Labor.
The committal of Cooperman to the Tombs
prison in lieu OF bail was followed by tho dis
charge by Kaplan & Grossman Of 100 OF their
employees. and this by n sympathetic strike. led
by nifty girls. The strike spread rapidly. and
thus practically tying up the entire rag-picking
industry In the enst side.
One OF the first acts on the part of Kaplan &
GrossmRn yesterday was to send out agents
warning other firms in the same line OF industry
not TO give employment to tho strikers,
The latter Hooked in the evening to lO4
Orchard street, where a mass meeting was held.
4 special committee, headed by Chairman
field OF tho brotherhood Of Tailors and ask him
to lead the strike.
Schoenfeld agreed to do 30, and when he and
the members of the reached lO1
Orchard street he was loudly cheered and was
borne into the place on the shoulders OF the
strikers.
Arrangements were perfected for tho holding
of a big nass meeting Of the strikers and friends
row night. The strikers formulated a new
scale OF wages which will he presented this
evening to Knpian & Grossman.
The demands are for a weekly wage OF from
$l2 TO $l5, according to the grade OF work, a
nay day every Friday. and a work week OF
ffty-nine hours.
