Power of the Maidstone.

An American surgeon, Mr.. C. r.
Turner. of Snickersville, has just
bought flor sover $500 maidstone that
appears to possess some remarkable
qualities. The stone was brought from
Europe probably England-136 years
ago. It is about the size of shilling,
and has the appearance of a sandstone,
but is smoother and somewhat porous.
The stone is oval-shaped and has a
dark-brown color. It is claimed by
those who have witnessed the power
Of the maidstone that it is a: certain
cure for all bites Of mad dogs and
poisonous reptiles, and it is positively
asserted that 1t has never yet failed
to perform its functions II the patient
reaches it in time. One Swell-authen-
ticated case is given where two people
were, bitten about the same time by
the same dog. One Of the victims was

stone. had so applied to the wound, and

Aearu rory Miles,
A whistle has been constructed at
the Atlanta Milling Company's mill. in
Atlanta, Ga, which is audible at Ma

in height and consists of three bells of
special composition of bronze and bell
metal, arranged between two disks of
steel. The larger bell has the mouth
turned upward, and the other two
their mouths turned downward, a
three-inch pipe conveys the steam
through shallow openings in the cir

not harsh, but soft and low, and yet
of such power that it can be heard

New Use for Aluminium.

With a pencil Of aluminium indelible
characters can be written, or drawn,
on glass or porcelain, and when treat
ed with hydrochloric acid the surface
covered by the characters becomes
etched. Wnen the characters are not
etched, but simply FURNISHED, they ex-
actly resemble inlaid silver. This
property of aluminium was recently
discovered by Mr.. Charles Nargot of
Geneva. Switzerland. 1t is indispen-
sable first to remove every trace of
grease from the surface to be orna-
mented by polishing with chalk, else
the aluminium will not take hold. Since
the effect is only produced On sub
stances containing silicic acid, it has
been suggested that an aluminium pen
Gil would be an unerring detector of
false diamonds. Magnesium, cadmium
and zinc act in a similar manner, but
their traces readily oxidize.
