The CASING Of Steel.

In casting steel there has always
been more or less difficulty from the
tendency of the melted metal to splash.
This produces flaws and cracks ON the
surface of the ingots used for forging
guns. These ingots weigh five. tons and
upward. 1t naturally arises that such a
large quantity of metal falling from a
height into the molds would spatter and
splash. The particles thrown off cool
rapidly and are productive Of a great
deal of trouble. By a new and simple
method this is prevented. A tube is
prepared of thin sheet iron, such as is
Used for roofing. The tube is "a inches
in inside diameter, and is suspended
from an iron ring, to which there are
riyeted three bars on the surface of the
mold. The steel is poured from the bot
tom of the ladle into the middle of the
iron tube. All the splashes are thrown
on the walls of the tube, which gradual
-ly melt away during the rise of the
surface of the liquid steel in the mold.
1t is by such little devices as this that
a great deal of time, trouble and work
is saved.=N. Y. Ledger.

FUNGI FOR EATING.

In the Fields and Woods Only Can Mush-
rooms Be Understood.
Fungi, like human beings, give off
carbonic acid, and not oxygen, as do
most other vegetables. This is due,
probably, to the absence of green color
ing matters. A popular error is to sup
pose that fungi are eatable and toad
stools poisonous. There is no such line
of demarcation, nor, strictly speaking,
has toadstool any precise scientific
meaning. Very many fungi are eata-
BILE, the numbef of poisonous varieties
being greatly exaggerated. The COM
mon Agaric usually eaten in Englandi is
not the most ~palatable and wholesome;
indeed, in Italy it is said to be con-
demned, and not allowed to be sold in
the fungus market, which is there quite
an institution. But this assertion is a
travellers tale, and not more trustwor-
thy than many of the narratives of via
itors to foreign lands who hastily iot
down their first impressions, and be-
lieve everything they chance to hear or
fancy they hear.
Few foods are more savory or greater
favorites than w~ell-cooked fungi. The
souls of good vegetarians hunger and
thirst after them, and no wonder! They
have the reputation of being very nutri-,
tious, but psychologists say that this
is an error, and that there is reason to
believe that a given weight of them is
not so sustaining as from its chemical
composition it ought to be. This does
not mean that they are not useful adj
juncts to food. AS favoring ingredients
they have no superiors. Far greater
use of them ought to be made, and I can
not see why the supply of fungi should
not be increased twenty-fold. In this
way a most valuable industry might be
developed, or, more correctly, built up
in u midst. Nothing is easier than to
grow them, and they are very profitable.
The active chemical principle which,
in very rare instances, causes incon-
yenience and even death from eating
fungi, is called muscarine. 1t is the
same principle which, I believe, is found
in putrid, poisonous meat. Some foul
smelling and repulsive species are rich
in it, but most fungi are harmless, and a
few country walks in the early autumn
in the company of a mycologist would
furnish hints enough to be an inyalu-
able guide toeany person of common in
telligence. Unfortunately, no amount
of reading will make a man a practical
mycologist. It is in the fields and in the
woods that the science must be learned.
There, and there only, and from the
teaching of an old student, will the tyro
learn to distinguish the wholesome
from the dangerous.-HeRlth News.

the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of~the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
~ removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, andis
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that tits the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali

all reputable druggists.
IF in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxat1ves or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.
