Metalliled Wood.

The following process, invented by
Mr.. Rubennick. for metallizing wood
is thus described by Les Mondes: 1.-THE
wood is first immersed for three or -four
days. according to its permeability. in
Q caustic alkaline lye tcalcareous soda
ut a temperature Of from IS TO 80 de-
grees Thence it passes Immediately
into bath Of hydrosulphite Of calcium,
to which is added, after 81 or 80 hours,
q concentrated solution Of sulphur in
caustic potash. The duration Of this
bath is about rs hours, and its tempera-
ture is from 35 to so degrees Finally
the wood is immersed for 80 or so hours
in u hot solution (35 to so degrees) Of
acetate Of lead. The process, as may be
seen. is long one. but the results are
surprising. The wood thus prepared,
after having undergone proper drying
at moderate temperature, acquires un.
der burnisher Of hard wood polished
surface and assumes very brilliant
metallic luster This luster is still fur
ther increased il the surface Of the wood
be first rubbed with piece Of lead, tin
or zinc and be afterward polished with
. glass or porcelain burnisher The
wood thus assumes the appearance Of q
true metallic mirror and is very solid
and resistant. -lnvention.

The rosary consists Of 80 beads, and
distinct ejaculation is appropriated to
each rs it passes between the fingers.
Each ejaculation generally consists Of
two words, and declares name or at
tribute Of God. Almost all Moslems in
the upper and middle ranks of life carry
in their pockets or bosoms string Of
beads for this purpose, which they use
not only ON the occasion am describ-
ing. but while sitting and smoking
their pipes. walking in the streets or
even while engaged in conversation.
When q Moslem has gone over his
beads at the regular time Of prayer, he
folds his hands, and then, holding them
up open, as il TO receive something from
above, he prays for such blessings as he
desires for himself or his household.
When this is concluded. he strokes his
beard with his right hand and says,
Praise be to GodW This concludes
the whole. Mind

church department differed widely from
anything ever witnessed in this coun-
try. He was seated in the pew with the
young woman when her father came

The whistling tree, or Acacia 6stula,
10 found In Nubia and the Sudan.
The Arabs call II soffar, or piper, be-
cause Of the whistling sound that it pro-
duces, and the specific name Of fstula
. word also meahing pipe or hute. has
been given it for the same reason.
Insects infest the tree and deposit
their eggs in its shoota A gall-like ex.
crescence about an inch and half in
diameter is produced at the base Of the
shoots, and when the larve have
emerged from circular holes in the sides
Of the shoots the holes played upon BY
the wind, produce q whistling sound
equal to that produced by sweet toned
6ute.
The COW tree Ia 70 called because
It yields an abundant supply Of milk. To
obtain the milk deep incisions,are made
In the tree, from which the fluid flows
into vessels placed ready to receive it
This vegetable milk is white, somewhat
viscid and has an agreeable flavor, and
an analysis VI il shows that 1t Is very
much like the milk Of COW in its com.
position. The COW tree grows on the
slope Of the mountain chain bordering
on Venezuela
The cloth tree is found at Otaheite, In
the south sea. The bark Is taken of In
long strips aud put to soak overnight
in running water. The soaking softens
IL, so that the inner fiber may be easily
separated from the rest Of the bark.
The fibers are put together in lengths OF
about II or i2 yards. and the lengths
are placed side by side until they are q,
least I2 inches in width. and two or
three layers Of tlbers are put one upon
another
The fibers adhere together in one
piece. and tho material thus formed Is
beaten upon smooth piece Of wood until
il becomes rs thin as muslin Ii is then
bleached In the mir for time, when II
is ready to be made up into clothing.
The singing tree Of Queensland IL
pleasing to the eye, hut dangerous to the
touch. Its effects are curious Ii causes
great pain to the person or animal that
has the misfortune to get stung by 1t,
but it leaves no wound. no mark Of any
kind. and for months afterward the part
stung is painful in rainy weather OF
when in any way it gets wet Frequent
ly il is necessary to shoot horses and
dogs that have been stung by the tree
70 maddeniag is its effect upon them.
The angry tree grows in Nevada. east
ern California and Arizona. Wher
in the least disturbed. this highly sensi
tive tree shows its anger by ruffiing ~
its leaves and emitting n disagrceabl'
odor. d Y. r. in Philadelphia Times
