Use of Waste Slate.

Slate pencils were formerly all cut
from solid slate. just as 1t is dug from
the earth, but pencils SO made were OBJ
jected to on account of the grit which
they contain and which would scratch
she slate. To overcome this difficulty an
ingenious process has been devised by
which the slate is ground to a very fine
powder, all grit and foreign substances
removed, and the powder bolted through
silk cloth In much the same manner in
which -four is bolted. The powder Ii
then made into q dough, and this dough
Is subjected to very heavy hydraulic
pressure. which presses the pencil out the
required shape and diameter, but In
length of about three feet. While yet
soft the pencils are cut into the desired
lengths and set out to dry In the open
air. After they are thoroughly dry the
pencils are placed in steam baking kilns,
where they receive the proper temper.
Pencils made in this manner are not only
free from all grit and Of uniform hard
ness, but are stronger than those cut out
of solid slate. For these reasons they
have superseded the old indictment
and Slate.

Insects and Prehistoric Forests.

1t is not unlikely that some of the curl
aus alterations in the distribution of for
est trees which biologists have recog-
nized may have been due to the develop
ment in former ages of the gypsy moth
or other like destructive species of insect.
Thus in the early miocene tertiary Eu-
rope was tenanted by a host Of species
closely akin to those that now form our
admirable American broad leaved for
ests. The magnolias, the gums and the
tulip trees were then as well developed
in Europe as they are in this country
Suddenly all these species disappeared
from the old world. There is no reason
to believe that the change was due to
an alteration in climate. There are
many evidences indeed that such was not
the case. 1t is a very reasonable con-
lecture that that alteration was brought
about by the invasion of an insect enc
my which may have been the ancestor
Of the gypsy moth.-Professor N. S. Sha-

been at SO much trouble to secure against

"'See here, my friend exclaimed,

something. For 80 years l have been
working and studying and sitting up
nights learning how and getting myself
into shape for doing just such things as

ment which you ought to pay and which
you are able to pay, and my fee Of $780,

"The strain put on propeller shaft in

to have extraordinary strength to with
stand it. The worst part of Il is when the
stern lifts out of the water during a
pitch. Then the propeller bladss have
nothing to play against except Stf, and
naturally they begin to race. While they
are whizzing around at top speed they

Is the slightest flaw in the shaft it is apt

member, before quit the sea-" continued
the ex-captain, II was once first officer
on a fine cargo tramp from Liverpool.
Our chief engineer was an old Welshman
named Dawes. He was a rough old fel-
low, with mighty little of what you
might call book education, but if there ev-
er was natural born genius he was the
man. Engineering seemed to be kind Of
an instinct with him, and when there was
any trouble with the machinery he could
put his finger on the exact spot, where
another man might be pottering around
for day.
"At the time I have in mind we had
cleared from our home port with a mixed
cargo for Rio, and on the second day out
old Dawes all of sudden stopped the en-
gines. 1t was my watch, and l went be-
low to find out what was up. There's
something wrong with that propeller
shaft he said, and he took a lantern and
started to go over it, inch by inch. Inside
an hour he found two holes that had been
bored in 1t about midway down, where
the strain was the greatest, and nicely
filled up with soap and plumbago. 1t
was evidently the work of an assistant
engineer who had row and quit at Liv-
erpool. Any big shock would have been
certain to break the shaft in two, but, as
Providence willed it, we had smooth
weather up to that time. Dawes riveted
a steel collar around the weak spot, and
we made Rio without accident under
about three-fourths speed. I often asked
him afterward how he came to suspect
anything was wrong. and all he could
tell me was that the shaft sounded rot

in the vibration; either that or it was the
biggest piece Of luck on record. "-Ex-

BEAUTY.

What makes in her cheeks that beautiful g1owS
That lovely light in her eyer
What makes her neck as white as the snow?
What gives her that graceful and willowy formi
What gives 10 her lips their bright dyei
That hand SO shapely and small,
These graces Of hers-bcwitching they are
oh, does she inherit them all2
No. Her father was homely; her mother was
plain;
Her loneliness came not that way.
She diets, takes exercise, wears low haeled shoes
And walks several miles each day.
She's growing more lovely the older she grows
And never knows illness ache;
She's making experiments, trying to show
Heredity's all q mistake.
