Nelson and the Coxwaln.
ARE HERE.

lust before the battle of Trafalgar
a mail was sent from the English feet
to England, and word was passed that
it might be the last chance TO write
before the expected battle. The letters
had been collected from ships, the let
ter bags were on the vessel which was
to take them, and she had got some
distance under way, under full sail,
when Lord Nelson saw a midshipman
come UP and speak to Pasco, the signal
officer, who, upon hearing what he said
stamped his foot in evident vexation
and uttered an exclamation. The adj
miral called Pasco, and asked what
was the matter. Nothing which need
trouble your lordship," was the reply.
"You are not the man to lose your
temper for nothing" replied Nelson.
What was it?" well, if you must
know, my lord, Twill tell you. You
see that coxswain?" pointing to one
of the active of the petty officers. I'VE
have not a better man on the Victory,
and the message. which put me out was
this. l was told that he was so busy
receiving and getting off his mail that
he forgot to put his own letter to his
wife into one of them; and he has just
discovered it in his pocket"
Hoist signal to bring her back"
was Nelson's instant command. who
knows that he may not fall in aetiorl
to- morrow? His letter shall go with
the rest" And the dispatch vessel was
brought back for that alone.
Capt. Mahan tells this charming
story on the authority of Lieut. Pasco
who used that it was no wonder that
the sailors idolized Nelson who was
always thinking of them.

How to Eat.

The late Mr. Gladstone had theory
as 70 the virtues of slow eating. He
chewed thirty-two chews ON each
mouthful of meat, and the balance of
his mastication was in the same long
mere. Mr.. Gladstone lived to a ripe
and respectable old age, and so far as
known he never suffered from that
peculiarly American curse, dyspepsia.
But now comes scientific sharp
who says slow eating is a mistake.
The animals know how to eat and
few of them eat slowly. OF course, the
cow is an exception.
Now, this scientist says if you eat
slowly your stomach gets tired of wait
ing. and cuts up all sorts of bad tricks.
At the same time it doesn't seem as il
the noon rush ard the five-minutes-
theory was good
one.
Does your boy eat between meals?"
asked the doctor of the fond father.
No.. said the latter, he doesn't

Iron and steel are produced in the
Stassano process by smelling the
oxides of iron in the heat of the cleo
trio arc. The furnace is formed by
putting together the bases OF two trun-
Gated cones, a third similar cone serv-
ing as the crucible. Within the fur
mace, somewhat above the opening OF
the crucible, are two cylindrical
carbon electrodes 4 inches in diane
ter and yard long. The ores are
oxides or conbonates, the latter re-
curing preliminary calcination, and
these are pulverized, freed from gan
que, analysed to determine the exact
proportion of carbon, lime, silica nec-
essary for reduction, and compressed
into blocks with the aid of small
percentage of tar. These blocks,
broken up, are used to charge the
furnace. The cost of these prelimi-
nary operations is greater than usual,
but the energy required for one ton
of metal is only 5000 horse power
hours, which is said to correspond to
a saving in fuel of nearly one half.
Alloys are produced by adding other
ores in the necessary proportion.

A Safe Method Of Removing Warts.

Get from the druggist solution of
chronic acid two drachms to one fluid
ounce of water. Dip silver of wood,
as match or a toothpick, in the So
luton and touch the warts with it.
The process may be repeated every day
or two for three or four times. Warts
sometimes disappear without treat
ment, which accounts for the supposed
efficacy of some of the charms used to
remove them.-Ladies' Home Journal.

One of the most valuable of recent
insulating materials appears to be
that known as ambroine. This is a
mixture of amber and other fossil
resins with asbestus, mica and other
silicates, the substances being pull
verified and made to combine by
standing and chemical treatment, and
finally placed in moulds and sub
jected simultaneously to great heat
and pressure. One important advan-
tage of the material is that it does
not shrink in the moulds, SO that
interchangeable pieces are readily
made. Ambroine is claimed to be an
insulator of the highest order, sheet
LIS of inches thick resisting 5000
volts; it absorbs moisture even less
than hard rubber; it is much stronger
than ebonite; and it withstands heat
and shock, and is unaffected by the
air. 1t is absolutely homogeneous
and takes high polish. The cost
Of the moulds restricts it's use to artl-
cles needed in considerable quantity,
the chief applications thus far being
for accumulation retaining cells, and
for overhead fixtures of railway lines.

Of the various enclosures in the
transparent diamonds Of Brazil and
Cape Colony, the most numerous are
black, affording, when abundant, the
variety of crystallized carbon known
as 'Eblack diamond" A late investi-
cation by M. Henri Moissan shows
that these black enclosed matters
consist of different form Of carbon.
A black diamoud was finely pulver-
lied, and the resulting bl4ckish gray
dust was heated half an hour in a
current of oxygen having tempera-
ture 2OOo lower than that of combus-
ton Of the diamond. There was a
slight escape of carbonic acid, the
diamond dust becoming white. It is
evident therefore that the coloring
matter burns in oxygen, yielding car
bonic acid, and that the carbon
burned differs from that of the color
J less diamond.

then with Is per cent of petroleum.
