INSECTS MADE OF METAL.
The Ingenious Editorial Device Put
in Operation by a Clever
FrcnchDsan.

Did you ever see copper caterpillar,
silver centipede or a nickel giant?
These and many similar objects can be
had, if not for the asking a least for a
reasonable amount of money NJ several
places in New York, says the Evening
Post. Who discovered the curious arc
is unknown, but it was introduced in u
this city by an eccentric L'rcnc.i a,
who said that he had elaborated the dis.
covery of some chemists in Paris. Paul
Despotte, for such was the mans name,
declared his secret to be as follows
He first dampened the luckless insect
leaf or flower and then blew on it with
blowpipe. The object thus busted
was placed in an electrolytic bath and
upon it the metal was precipitated by
the galvanic current. The object was
then transferred to a second bath,
from which all the organic matter was
dissolved by an alkai. The metallic
shell which remained was slightly
heated, touched with some kind of shell
lac, and the thing was done. The in.
ventor carried with him quite collec-
ton of these preparations The most
interesting of all were a mosquito in
gold and hairy geranium leaf in cop
per.
The deiicacy of the work was extraor-
dinary. Under powerful magnifying
glass the little organs which are in.
visible to the human eye were seen
perfectly reproduced in metal. The
discovery does not seem to have been
utilized to any great extent so far as
the trade is concerned, but has been
taken up by many amateurs. This
fall an ingenious girl uptown first
covered the back of her hand with
black lead and then plated it with
metal. She removed this, which was
perfect cast, and used it as matrix
in which she deposited a second coat OF
metal, which she finally mounted on
piece of satin. Her hand, as may be
supposed. was pretty, and when re-
produced in copper made work of art
as novel as it was attractive.
Human His Treated by Machinery.
Not least among the wonders of the
mechanical cure are what are termed
percussion" vibration" and "knead-
ing" machines, which work like re-
freshing tonic on jaded and weary
bodies. One machine, for instance,
consists of a series of little cloth COW
cred hammers, arranged in row like
the hammers of piano, and falling
on the body in much the same way
as the piano hammers strike the
strings. The pattering action of the
hammers, when applied to ones back,
creates warm, inyigorating glow.
Vibrations are applied to the spine
by series of rubber fingers, which
are made to rum up and down, tap
ping merrily away like a woodpecker
on branch, only the taps fall at
rate of hundreds in a minute. The
rain of little blows from the Vibrating
machine produces most pleasant
though peculiar sensation, and brings
speedy relief when applied to head
that feels heavy and congested. The
kneading treatment is afforded by a
machine which works two little roll
ers over the body with "kneading"

BARRE, VT, MARCH 4, 1901

The st. Adams Messenger says
"Apropos OF Quartermaster General W.
H.Gilmore's efforts to secure the Krag-
Jorgensen rifle for the National Guard.
The Messenger recalls the lamentable
lack of equipment OF our citizen SOL
dlers when the war with Spain broke
out. Vermont soldier boys would sit
in their camp, gazing doleful'y at a
clumsy old model Springfield rife that
had been issued to them, and ask their
officers why they couldn't be allowed
as effective weapon as the Spaniards
had. Then the stories OF Spanish
sharpshooters With the Mausers pick
ing off volunt eer soldiers armed with
black powder Springtields wcull fl at
back to camp, day after day, and the
boys would think of the thousands Of
dollars that had been laid out for
dress uniforms and wonder which was
worth more to the state, their ap-
pearance on parade at home or their
chances to save their live, in battle. ;"

Tomorrow the city of Barre will take
a very important step. The same old
spiteful methods are being used in
this campaign that have disgraced
the political life Of this community
for the past five years. One scents
again the disagreeable odor which has
arisen every spring from the dissen-
sions existing in the ci.lzen bJdy and
the hatred with which the two local
factions regard each other. Just 50
long as this unhealthful condition con-
tinues to exist, just 50 long will the
same sentiment OF discord be found tn
the city council chamber. The old
enemy, which makes men. believe that
all who do not share their beliefs are
rascals, is abroad again.

We have been asked what we should
do with regard to those delinquent
subscribers who are already In arrears.
Ia reply we may say that we have the
greatest confidence in the honesty OF
Vermonters. That principle will pre-
vent most of them from cheating us
out of the price Of the paper which
they have already had. If any man,
however, is so dishonest and despica-
bly, mean as to value twenty-five cents
more than they do their honor we will
gladly contribute to their relief and
trust that the money thus presented
may lead them to take different
view of right and wrong.

A Failure In COOpering.

A certain man who was once
prominent Kentucky politician was
more demagogue than statesman.
He was, according to Short Stories, in
the habit of Boosting that his father
was a cooper in an obscure town IN
the state-that he was zone of the
people" and didn't belong to the "kid
gloved aristocracy."
The generals great failing being
his fondness for liquor. it will surprise
no one to be told that the more he drank
the more loudly lie detained his
political sentiments and the prouder
If being the son of cooper he became.
During political campaign, where his
opponent was the southern orator, Tom
Marshall, he had been unusually noisy
md offensive in his Boosting regarding
his obscure origin. In replying. Mar
shall said, looking hard at the general:
"Fellow citizens, my opponents
.ather may have been very good

gentlemen, that he put mighty poor
head into that whisky barrel"
