MANY POUNDS OF MAIL.
Some Interesting Figures Concerning
the Richmond ROst-Onice.

Now that the time for tho weighing
Of the matter originating and passing
through the Richmond postohice has ex-
pired, il Will be "a matter Of interest TO the
people Of this city 10 know the amount
of mail that the local office handles.
The average amount Of mail matter
that passes through this Office a day is
C1S7 pounds The lowest was for sun
day, October 22d when only 2,473 pounds
were handled. Tie maximum was reach
ed the day after the launching, NOvem-
Der 2d, when ii 1l5 pounds and ounces
of mail matter passed through the hands
of the employees. on this day 1855 pounds
Of newspapers were mailed, and the
weight of the nrst-class matter reached
the total Of 1s5 pounds and ! ounce, but
on the day following S35 pounds and -
ounces of hrst-cass mail matter was
handled. 'ii
The following figures give in totals the
weight Of The natter for the thirty-iive
DAYS. from October Sd to November 9th

These figures give some Idea or the
work connected with the postoiiice IN this
city. 1t Is a fact that during the hours
from IL o'clock TO l-2 o'clock each
evening more mail is received than dur

purchaser who carefully examines the
outside Of the cans which he buys. The
heads Of the cans should be slightly
concave, which shows that they were
hot when sealed. If the heads are con-

commenced In the can.
The total value Of the food supply Of
the United States has been estimated
at 5,000,00O,00O. According ito DIR.
Wiley's estimate, 90 per cent. of this is
adulterated, or $4,000, 100000. Accord
ing to the American Grocer's figures,
which are the most favorable, not more
than 10 per cent. of the adulteration is
harmful or injurious to the health.

GREATEST HEAT.

Electrical Furnace Produces Tenn
perature that Breaks the Record.
The highest temperature yet pro-
duced by man has been reached by an
especially constructed furnace at the
Columbia University. Prof. Tuckerm,
to whom belongs the honor of the ex-
pertinent. had been working for years
on the idea so successfully carried out
and has finally generated heat 20 de-
grees higher than the record made
some time ago by Prof. Moission Of
Paris. The heat of the sun is esti-
mated ut 10000 degrees. The heat
generated at Columbia was $500. The
effect was tremendous. The electrical
furnace was charged with current Of
unusual power, which was so high that
under 1t steel, hard quartz and even
platinum were vaporized. AS for or
binary crucibles, they disappeared at
once in little pcff Of smoke. 1t Is
difficult to appreciate the degree Of
such heat without some comparisons.
Scalding water means temperature
Of 212 degrees Fahrenheit and red-hot
iron 800 degrees. Steel melts Mt 5000
degrees and boils like water Mt $500
degrees. Commercially the experiment
Is very useful because 1t has shown
that diamonds of marketable size and
purity may be made artificially. Fur
Their, 1t has given to commerce two
products of almost incalculable value

Of other plants like tea. sand andsyari-
ousi materials used for coloring the
leaves! Coloring is common and is
called facing" 1t generally consists
in coating the leaves with powdered
soapstone, with lead, or plumbago. IL
they are to be black, or with the pow
dered soapstone. with indigo or Prus-
sian blue IL they are TO be green. Often
the facing adds materially to the
weight OF the teal. In England the use
Of exhausted leaves is much larger
than itfsah THIS country. Spent leaves
are bought up from hotels and coffee
houses, at merely nominal prices, and
are dried and faced before being re-
sold. They are easily detected by their
frayed and Irregular appearance and
by the small proportion of soluble mat
ter remaining IN them.
The substitution of other leaves for
those OF the tea plant is also more
common In England than In the United
States. Yet even in this country 1t is
well, known, that foreign leaves can
easily be detected by spreading ont a
few of the leaves from the bottom of
the teapot. The fanceolate, spear-head-
