wetalIized Wood.

The following process, invented by Mir. Rubennick, for metallizing wood, is thus described by Les Mondes: "The wood Is first immersed for three or four days, according to its permeability, in 8 caustic alkaline lye (calcareous soda) at temperature of from 75 to 90 de- grees Thence it passes immediately into bath of hydrosulphite of calcium, to which is added, after 24 or 36 hours, @ concentrated solution of sulphur in caustic potash. The duration of this bath is about AS hours, and its tempera- ture is from 35 to 30 degrees Finally the wood is immersed for 80 or 50 hours in hot solution (o5 to 90 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 a burnisher of hard wood a polished surface and assumes a very brilliant metallic luster This luster is still fur ther increased if 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 a true metallic mirror and Is very solid and resistant invention.

 Irish Dueling Code,

The Irish dueling code has been adopted with certain notifications by duelists both in England and the Unit ed States. It was drawn up by the Irish bar at the Clonmel assizes in 1777 and appears to aim at so arranging matters that no Irishman anxious to fight shall be baked by his wish. "The first off, fense requires the first apology, al. though the retort may be more offen- sive. 2" After one fire the retort may be explained away. But if either par ty," the code hastens to add, "would rather fight on, after two shots each the principal who made the retort may explain and then the original offender tender his apology" !" "When the lie direct is the first offense, the aggressor must either beg pardon in express terms, exchange two shots previous to apolo- gy, or three shots followed by ex. planation, or fire on till a severe hit be scored by one of the parties !" "No dumb firing, or firing in the air, is admissible. " In slight cases the sec- ond hands his principal but one pistol, in gross cases two, holding another case ready charged in reserve.

Story of . Man Who Thought the Finan-
 cier 8 Bunko Steerer.
 Once when the late Jay Gould went to Margaretville, N. Y., with his phy- sician and private car, he called on his old friend George Decker, retired merchant of the village, who was for merly a clerk with Gould in Roxbury. Every one who knows Mir. Decker we'll calls him "G, and this was what MT. Gould said to him:
 Hello, 'GP guess you know me this time, don't you?'
 A few years before Decker, while in New York on business one afternoon, was suddenly confronted on Broadway by dapper, black eyed little man, who grasped hin by the hand, exclaiming. "How are you, Mr. Decker? am glad to see you. =
 Mr Decker looked the little man over from head to foot, and hurriedly an- swered:
 "Yes, so am I, but I don't know you, sir. Good day. ,
 "But. hold up," said the other, "aren't you George Decker of Margaret yille?''
 "Oh, yes; that's all right, D respond ed Decker, "but I am in too great a hurry to be interviewed today, my friend. You have struck the wrong man.
 'tYes, perhaps, !" said the little man. "but my name is Jay Gould. Don you know me?''
 "Jehosaphat!" exclaimed Decker. "I took you for a confidence man. Phil. adelphia Press.

Tennyson and Birds.

Agnes Weld, niece of Tennyson, speaks thus of the poet in The Contem- porary Review; Much as Tennyson no- ticed every individual tree and plant, bird life had still greater attraction for him. He was much touched by the fact that the caged linnet loses the red plumage from its head and breast at the first mott after its captivity, and never regains them, and he thought of deyoting a whole poem to the deep yearning for liberty of which this was the sign and type. And one reason he climbed almost daily, when at Fresh water. to the summit of the Beacon down was because he loved to watch the wild. free flight of the sea gulls cir. cling sxonnd its lofty clifss

IAN UNFORTUNATE EDITOR.
Edison's Experience In Newspaper Mak-
 ing Was Not a Happy One.

6
 In her life story of Edison Mrs. Sarah A. Tooley relates the following con- corning the Wizard:''
 Having been successful as a news. seller, Edison lost no time in becoming an editor and publisher. and like Gar Eison:
 What need of helpG He knew how types wers
 set.
 He had a dauntless spirit and press.
 "True, Tom Edison's press only con- sisted of disused set of type purchased for Q nominal sum, and his combined printing office and editorial sanctum was dilapidated luggage van. but it possessed an advantage of which even Printing House square cannot boast-it was migratory. The van converted to this novel purpose was attached to the train on the Grand Trunk railway, and appropriately enough the paper was en- titled The Grand Trunk Herald
 "A further venture was Paul Pry, in which, if any one may be excused a pun, the editor 'pried' into things in too free manner, and some individuals, incensed at his fun at their expense, dipped him into the river to cool his imagination. Further disaster followed when one day phosphorous bottle up set in his laboratory and nearly set the train on fire. The conductor promptly removed Edison and his apparatus, printing and chemical, to the platform at the next stopping place.
 1t was bitter moment, of which Edison cannot think without feeling over again the sense of utter hopelessness and desolation which came upon him when he saw the train whirling off while he stood alone and forsaken among his broken goods, his ear tin gling with a brutal box which injured his hearing for life.

CYCLING AND ASTHMA.
\ London Physician Says the Former VII
 Cure the Latter.

Dr. Marcel of London recommends bicycle riding as remedy for asthma. Here is what he says about it in let ter to The Medical Record: 'tIf asthma is form of mountain sickness and if that distressing affection of high alti. tudes can be cured by training for the exercise of climbing, why should not asthma also yield to the training of the respiration carried out by practicing the respiratory movements needed to carry the tidal air through the lungs? Of all means of training respiration 1 think cycling is the best. When a person first takes a cycling exercise, it will be found, especially on going up hill, that the breath is wanting, the heart beats uneomfortably and the legs tire, but after training these discomforts disap- pear, nothing will be thought of ascend ing hills, the heart has become perfectly comfortable, all breathlessness has dis appeared and the legs will no longer feel any fatigue.
 Cycling exercise, first of all, in- creases the depth of breathing, and that without fatigue, as the respiratory movements are automatic. At the same time it will aceustom the rider instinct lively to take in at each respiration the volume of air required to aerate the blood. Persons who do not care for cy- cling out of doors can take the same kind of exercise at home by means of a dummy cycle, consisting of an iron wheel driven by pedals, the resistance of the wheel being so contrived as to simulate bicycle riding. A strap carried partly around the rim of the wheel can be frightened at will by the rider, thus increasing the labor and recalling the effort of riding up hill. My experience of the results of this treatment is unfor- tunately limited to only one person. In this case it has proved eminently sue. cessful. This person took to bicycle rid ing three years ago for pleasure and in very great moderation for the first two years. He observed that the attacks of asthma to which he was subject became fewer. The tightness and wheezing which occurred every night have now entirely disappeared.

Contrary Effects of the Absence of One on
 a Friend of Colonel CaIliper.

TT knew a man once," said Colonel Calliper, "a young man who had ev- erything that heart could wish for who notwithstanding that fact was 8 pretty sane and sensible sort of young man, but who nevertheless did at times in his younger days before he had learn ed the philosophy of life occasionally have periods of depression. In one of these on his way home once from Flu. rope he came to the conclusion that life wasn't worth living and he made up his mind to end 1t all right there by jumping overheard. As he looked over the rail and realized how wet the wa ter was and how much there was of it he knew that he ought not to go out in it without a macintosh.
 "Going below, he discovered that he had neglected to bring one. On this oo- casion of all others when he wanted one most he had none. But he couldn't think of encountering the wet inappro- priately clad, and so he deferred jump ing overheard until he could do so in proper form. Next morning with the resiliency of youth, he was feeling bet ter, and he arrived in New York buoy. ant, hopeful and strong.
 "And, curiously enough, while in other respects he remained as punetil- ious as ever about his dress, he never after that wore a macintosh, and he went out in all sorts of weather with out hesitation. It was his carelessness in this regard that led finally to his death. Out without mackintosh in a heavy rain at the age of 97, he caught 8 cold that settled on his lungs, develop ed into pneumonia and carried him off, and so it may be said of my friend that he owed his long life and his death to the same cause.
