Prepares Solid Foundations.

1t is not entirely new to render loose
soil. such as sand and gravel, stable
enough for building purposes by i'm
pregnating it with thin fluid cement,
which binds with the sand and forms
a sufficiently hard concrete mass to
serve as foundation; but this process
is always dependent upon certain con-
ditions. Thus, for instance, the soil
must contain no water. because the
sand and renders the penetration of
the cement difficult, and, in addition
to this, the water still further dilutes
the cement, which is thin fluid already.
so that it is impossible for the cement
to bind and form a good foundation.
Now comes Russian inventor with an
apparatus to exhaust the water from
the soil simultaneously with the fore
ing into it of the liquid cement. This
enables the cement to be properly dis
tributed and also renders it possible
to force it into the soil with less pres
sure than when single forcing tube
was used. AS seen in the drawing
the two smaller tubes pour the cement
into the sand, while the larger central
pipe is connected with a suction pump
or other exhaust apparatus. This
draws the water from the soil and al
lows the liquid cement to replace it
readily, also serving as an indicator
to show when the soil has been i'm
pregnated by drawing the cement into

The tuberculosis Bacillus.

According to cable kilograms Prof,
Dehring has just printed book in
Berlin proving that the bacilli of hui
man and bovine tuberculosis are iden-
tical, the seeming difference between
them resulting from the capacity of
the bacilli to accommodate themselves
to the organism in which they live.
The writer announces that he has
successfully infected cattle with virus
from human beings, producing in this
way fatal animal tuberculosis. He
also declares that he has rendered
cattle immune to tuberculosis by vac
cinating them when they are young.
Further reports of these experiments
will be anxiously awaited.

Divides the Poultry Boost.

The illustration shows a novelty
which will recommend itself to the
poultry keeper for two reasons-first,
because it will prevent the fowls from
crowding each other off the roosts,
and, secondly, owing to the provision
it makes for bringing a vermin de-
stroyer within close proximity to the
fowl while roosting, without the lat
ter touching it. These devices can be
brought into use in connection with
the roosting poles already in position
in the henhouse, and consequently
there is no expense for changing the
roosts. The invention is a simple one,
consisting of a single piece of wire,
which is formed into a loop near one
end, with the shorter end formed into
a screw to aid in inserting it in the
wooden roost The longer end is not
bent to it's final position until after
the screw is inserted in the wood,
when the loose end is twisted into the
location shown, below the roost. 1t
is an easy matter to attach a small
rag or piece of sponge to the depend
ing end, which can be saturated from
time to time with any liquid vermicide,
and the vaporizing of this liquid will
serve not only to keep the vermin
from crawling over the roosts, but
drive the lice from the bodies of the

His experiments at Stromboli showed
that the lava flowing from the crater
was at a temperature not above 1890
degrees c., and that the explosions
arise in the superficial layers. Those
of M. Gautier prove that all rocks of
the earth's crust when heated above
redness give off gases, principally hy-
drogen. The hydrogen is the principal
cause of the explosions. Heated to
about 1000 degrees in the crater, it
becomes explosive the moment it is
mixed with air. A rock containing a
per cent constituent of water is
shown by calculation to give off
enough hydrogen to throw twice its
weight for a distance of three miles.
The results quoted indicate the main
lines of the theory proposed. For its
full development the original paper
must be consulted.

combustible holder, the Cartridge be-
ing thrown away after the contents
are burned.
The holder consists of a metallic or
asbestos tube. with a coiled spring
mounted at the base of the opening
and air ducts leading from the mouth
piece to the outer end of the tube. The
outer end is fitted with a conical cap
having slanting sides to hold the to-
bacco in the cartridge against the
pressure of the spring inside the tube.
The cartridges are to be furnished in
quantity, either loaded or empty as
tns smoker may desire.
To place a charge in the tube the
outer cap is removed and the cart
ridge inserted and pressed downward
until the spring is contracted, when
the cap is replaced. The cigarette is
then lighted through the perforation
in the cap and the smoke. drawn
through the air ducts to the mouth.
AS fast as the tobacco is consumed the
spring forces the ashes out of the cap
and renews the supply of the weed in
proximity to the air ducts. When the
cartridge has been emptied the cap is
again removed and the empty tube
thrown out. The tubes are made with
a slight taper toward the rear end, in
order that the spring may slide the to-
bacco from the tube without clogging.

MOSCOW A GREAT CITY.
Former Capital Now Almost as Large
as ST. Petersburg.

The population of Moscow shows a
remarkably rapid increase. Within the
comparatively short period of thirty
years the number of inhabitants has
just about doubled At the time of the
French invasion in 1872 the urban Mos
covites numbered about 100000, al
though the official figures were 252,-
900. In 1871 the official. census gave
the population as 602, 900; in 1882 it
was 76S, 1000, and according to the
reckoning now completed the historic
city contains 1,173,500 inhabitants,
thus taking the tenth place among the
most populous cities of the world
Moscow covers an area of 101 square
kilometers, or only two kilometers less
than that of St. Petersburg. Area is
rot, however, by any means a general
criterion, in questions of population, as
appears from the fact that whereas
London, with the largest population of
any city in the world, covers 303
square kilometers. New York, with
population numbering more than
million less than that of the British
metropolis has a total area of 795
square kilometers. The population of
Moscow is less dense than those of st.
Petersburg, Glasgow, London, Berlin,
and Paris.

HANDY BOOK OF INSULTS.
Thousands of Fighting Epithets Put
Into Dictionary.

Herr Schuch, German author, has
compiled a dictionary of $500 insult
ing expressions, carefully tabulated,
indexed and classified. The work, on
which Herr Schuch has spent years of
labor, is called the Schimpfworter Lex
ikon and is divided into five general
heads-insults for men, insults for
women, insults for either SEX insults
for children and collective insults for
syndicates, groups and corporations.
Herr Schuch, with that minute discern
ment of the searching German, has sub
divifed these classes into smaller ones,
so chat when one wishes to call his
friend or enemy name it needs but
short consultation with the book to
find the exact epithet or phrase which
will fit the case. This work would
have been invaluable to Mississippi
river pilots in the old days, and even
now the teamster may regard 1t as a
welcome addition to his library.

There Really Is Something New Under the
sun.
In these days of progress the cir
Gus has not been standing still, de
spite the fact that there are many
thoughtless persons who carelessly
say of all shows. Its the same old
thing
The circus is the same old thing
when il comes to being the most pop
ular and profitable form of public
amusement. There is no game of
ball or billiards or cards or anything
else in the way of entertainment
that may be bought for half dollar
that begins to give the return for the
money that the circus does. In this
respect il does not matter how small
the circus is. But when it comes to
such an enormous affair as the col
ossal consolidation of the Adam
Forepaugh 4 Sells Brothers shows.
what is there to be said? 1t cannot
be said that they are the same old
thing, for they are not. They have
dozens of features that were not
even dreamed of few years ago.
and some of them viii be seen for
the first time here and they are well
worth the seeing.
1t must he remembered that these
shows have Il tremendous advantage
over the shows of few years ago
and. in fact. over all other shows of
the present day. They are owned
and operated by Messrs. James y.
Bailey, w. w. Cole, Lewis Sells and
Peter Sells. Mr.. Bailey is the owner
of the Barnum q Bailey shows
which have been in Europe the last
five years. He is on the spot to Sc
cure at once any new thing that may
develop. He and his associates have
the capital and the experience neces-
sary to get anything they want and
no one could possibly outbid them.
Again. these men have all earned
their enormous fortunes. They are
not under the necessity to economic
and with them their shows are more
n matter of pride than n source of
income. There is not space at COM
mand just now to attempt to enumer-
ate their features, to say nothing of
their standard circus acts-they are
too many. But any one who will
glance at their advertisements in
other columns may gain some idea of
the magnificent shows that will eX-
hibit here Saturday, Sept. 6.

Judging by appearances and hand
shaking, the farmers and visitors all
seemed joyful and happy. At about

up with one of its liveliest airs which
seemed to instill new life into the
young people and some of the older
ones, and this was repeated at inter
walls during the day.
The dinner was the next upon the
program, which seemed to engage
the undivided attention of all. the
farmers seemingly having provided n
sufiidiency for themselves and others
whom they invited to dine with them.
There were several booths, where
those so inclined partook of lunch,
and there was an abundance of spark
ling water pumped by gasoline en-
CINE. The grounds had been moved
and everything made as pleasant and
comfortable as possible.
After dinner ii. \. Weld. of Rock

man. w. ii. Ashdown, to make n short

to witness the ball games. Mr.. Weld
opened his remarks by referring to
patriotism. He liked to see man
