From. Il. A. Lehman.
He Is Charged with Publishing a
IDc fa matory Notice-Basis for
Patent Office Action.

John Wedderburn & Co, patent attor-
neys, today entered suit for $4,000 dam
ages az eainst Frederick A. Lehman for libel
II is charged that the defendant com-
posed, printed and published the follow
ing notice:

The plaintiff. the bill Of complaint states,
up To the issuance of the said publication
in a pril last had always borne the reputa-
ton OF being upright and honest in his
dealings and the defendant knowing this
had circulated the Libel with the malicious
intention OF injuring the business OF the
plaintiff company.
By means OF this litel the plaintiff com

by reason Of its publication, have come TO

Soldering Glass.

La answer to inquiries made about
soldering glass and proclaim with met
ais, the following process as recon-
mended by Cailletet is given: "The
portion of the tube that is to be solder
ed is first covered with a thin layer OF
platinum. This deposit is obtained by
covering the slightly heated glass, by
means of a brush, with very neutral
chloride of platinum, mixed with es-
sential oil of chamomile. The oil is
slowly evaporated, and, when the white
and odOriferous vapOrs cease to be
given off, the temperature is raised to
a red heat The platinum is then re-
duced and covers the glass tube with
a bright layer of metal. On fixing the
tube thus metallized and placed in
bath of sulphate of copper, to the neg
alive pole of battery Of suitable en-
ergy, there is deposited upon the
platinum a ring of copper, which
should be malleable and very adhesive
if the operation has been properly per-
formed. In this state the glass tube
covered with copper can be treated like
a genuine metallic tube and be solder
ed by means of tin to iron, copper,
bronze, platinum and all metals that
can be united with tin solder. The re-
sistance and strength of such solder
ing are very great. M. Cailletet has
found that tube of his apparatus for
liquefying glass, the upper extremity
of which had been closed by means OF
an adjutage thus soldered, resists pres
sure of more than 800 atmospheres.
The tube, instead of being platinized,
may be silverized by raising the glass
covered with nitrate of silver up to
heat bordering on red. The silver thus
reduced adheres perfectly to the glass,
but numerous experiments have caused
platinizing to be preferred to silveriz-
ing in the majority of cases.

London,e Water Supply.

The water supply of London is enor-
nous. 1t reaches 841, 461 houses and the
average daily consumption is $780,
233 gallons, or daily average of about
thirty-three gallons per capita in a pop
ulation of 5,675,270. The area supplied
is 845 square miles, and there
are 5,147 miles of water pipe
and 1896 fire hydrants. Of
this water 107,000,00O gallons comes
from the Eiyer Thames, 100000 from
the River Lea and the rest from springs
and artesian wells. The greater part
of the supply taken from the River
Thames comes from above Richmond,
where the water is comparatively pure,
and is conducted by series of aque-
ducts into fifty-four different reser-
voirs, covering $50 acres, with an ag-
gregate capacity of 1885, 100000 gal
Ions. From these the water is passed
through 120 fltering beds, some OF
which absorb 100000 gallons min
ute. The water passes through six or
seven inches of sand before it reaches
the pipes, and this sand is cleaned care
fully every month.

Charles and Mary Lamb.

No more noble example of devoted
brotherly love will BE ever given than
the we'll known one Of the gentle
Ella" to his afflicted sister Mary.
When the latter, in fit of insanity,
had killed their mother, Charles Lamb
at once took her under his protecting
care, and henceforth surrendered to
the task of guarding and pleasing his
unfortunate sister the remainder OF a
life which might have been otherwise
especially happy.
For the purpose of interesting and
employing her mind he labored with
her in writing the celebrated Lambs
"Tales from Shakespeare" Gentle,
kind and persuasive; always by her
side; soothing her when the frenzles
of madness crept over her, the life OF
Charles Lamb was one constant self
sacrifice; but it was cheerfully given,
even to the day of her death. What
it had meant to him, as he said later,
no one would ever know.

Origin of Struggling Shoulders.

Struggling the shoulders in cold
weather is probably the survival of an
old instinct, which prompts animals to
put the skin of the back on the stretch
and so erect the hairy covering of that
part. The hair is now reduced to a
mere downy covering, but the old in
stinct remains, in common with 9th
ers, the rule apparently being that all
instincts which are harmless to their
possessors are constant in spite of
any change of structure. All animals
with long hair or feathers erect their
coats in cold weather, for the warmth
Of such covering depends on it's thick
ness and the amount Of air it contains,
rather than on its bulk.

PULLED HIS MUSTACHE.
Plumber Wife Attacks Manager schott OF
an Electric Company.

= - - -
an Electric Company.
Mrs. Joseph CleVe took it upon her
self yesterday to settle a difference
between her husband and Manager W.
e. Schott of the Thompson Houston
Electric company's Hyde Park plant.
She called upon Mr.. Schott, but he
would not argue with her. Then she
says she resorted to violent persuasion,
and after slapping Mr.. Schott's face
and pulling his mustache, she strobe
proudly back to her home.
Mrs Cleve's husband runs a plumb-'
ing establishment at 5217 Lake ave-
nue., and rents his shop of P. F. Ryan.
The latter is said to be in debt to the
Thompson Houston company. 1t was
agreed between Manager Schott and
Mr.. Ryan to allow the Electric com
pany to collect Mr. Cleve's rent until
the debt was paid. After the company
had collected one months rent, Mr..
Ryan declared that the company had
doubled his account, and ordered his
tenant to make no more payments at
the company's office.
The tenant complied and then the
attorney for the Thompson Houston
company wrote to him threatening to
enter suit against the plumber unless
he paid his rent to the company. Mrs.
Cleve received the letter and fastened
to the Hyde Park power house, where
she demanded an explanation from Mr..
School. When she handed the letter
to him she says he began to whistle.

The Appalling Depth. OF Space.

A Well-known American astronomer,
in the course of recent address, al
luded to the strange fact that the earth
and solar system generally, is con-
stantly moving towards that point of
the heavens in which the bright star
Vega is situated Through every
year. said he, every hour, every min
ute of human history, from the first
appearance of man upon the earth, the
sun and the whole solar system with
it, have been speeding towards that
star at rate probably between five
and nine miles a second. We are at
this moment thousands of miles near
er to Vega than we were a few min
utes' ago. When shall we get there?
Perhaps in less than million years,
perhaps in half million years. To
attain the stars was the seemingly
vain wish of the philosopher; but the
whole human race is, in a certain
sense, realizing this wish as rapidly
as a speed of six or eight miles sec
ond can bring it about" These words
are worthy of quotation, for they form
an admirable attempt to illustrate that
which is impossible for the ordinary
mind to conceive-the stupendous
scale upon which the universe is con-
structed.

A mute who is able to speak has
shown himself at Cremeaux, in the Ar
reimbursement of Roane, on the Loire,
France, to the great establishment OF
neighbors. He is twenty-five years OF
age. and, owing to an illness, has been
mute, since his second year, but re-
covered his speech by an accident
few weeks ago. The young man.
whose name is Gaudard, was trying in
vain to make his sister understand
that he wanted smoke, and suddenly
exclaimed "tabacr' Since then he has
spoken regularly. Gaudard, it seems
was only mute, not a deaf mute, and
had been at school, though he could
not respond to any questions put to
him. His mutism was probably the re-
suit of partial paralysis, which dlsap-
peared with age.
