INSCRIPTIONS ON GLASS
sand Blast Method, as Here De-
scribed, Can BE Used with Some
Success by Amateurs.

There are several methods for IN
scribing words, letters or decorative
designs on glass. One calls for chem
icals, and is rather dangerous
process. Another uses the sand blast

object through a shield CT paper,
pasted thereon and pieced with the
pattern. A close resemblance to the
latter plan for the use of amateurs is
described by the jewelers. Circular
Weekly. 1t is available only for fiat
plates, not dishes. The design is drawn
on white paper and then cut out. The
paper must be pasted onto the glass
neatly and snugly, so that there Will
be no air holes, loose places, or shreds
oyerhanging the pattern. The plate is
next fastened temporarily in the bot
tom of wooden box, with the inscrip-
ton upward. Now dump in lot of
emery powder and shot, and shake
vigorously. In accordance with the
fneness of the engraving wanted, fire
or rough emery or shot are used. By
shaking the box well III all. directions,
the emery particles will soon adhere to
the shot and give 1T a rough surface;
they press and settle into it, as if they
were driven in purposely. The sharp
points of the shot, thus prepared, COM
bined with the rest of the emery, cut
into the glass by the continued shak-
ing Of, the box, and the engraving will
ere long appear. When sufficiently
engraved the plate is removed from
the box and the paper pattern washed
off. Stars, leaves, scrolls and lettering
can be engraved in this manner. Some
parts. needing not as deepa cutting IS
others, might be covered with shell
lac solution. This method is very sim
pie and economical, and will, without
doubt, be appreciated by every person
of artistic taste. 5.t..

AUTHORITY ON GOATS.
John Collins, Arizona Breeder.
Favors the World with the Re-
suit of His Experience

Modern skill, necessity and ingenuity
have made it possible to utilize every
portion of the hog except is grunt and
squeal, and it is asserted you can sell
every part Of a goat except it's scent.
The latter statement is made by Mr..
John Collins, who manages an extern
siye goat farm in Arizona. The num-
Der of goats on his farm he could not
for the life of him tell, he says. There
may be 10000, 10000 or 3o,ooo-he had
no idea how many. He is considered
an authority upon the uses and abuses
of t2se goat. On his farm there is moth
ing but sage brush and cactus for the
goats to live on, yet no man, he claims,
ever saw dead goat, unless he 1.-THE

deriving the profit from the sale of the
hides. After time these were crossed
with Angora goats, and after two
years the cross disappears and per-
feet Angora goat remains. The long
hair of this goat is made into plush
for furniture, sleeping cars and SINH
lar uses. The hair next to the skin can
be made into valuable shawls. The
meat of the kids is delightful when
fresh, and is canned and sent to Cuba,
the Philippines, China and other for
eign countries as canned lamb One
ia tablespoonful of the milk of it is equal
to three tablespoonful of the purest
cream. One great virtue of the milk
is that it is deadly foe to tubercula,
and consumptives by drinking it are
often cured of the disease. In fine, no
other dumb animal has more valuable
qualities than the goat. No stables
are required in which to house him
He takes care of himself, looks out
for his own shelter if he needs any, and
is altogether an independent, profita-
bic, happy-go-lucky kind of an animal.

BIG STEAM HAMMER.
The Hydraulic Press Has Completely
SupDlanted This Mighty Piece
of Machinery. =

What is believed to be the biggest
steam hammer in the world is that
which was set up ten years ago IN
South Bethlehem, Pa, and weighs 125
tons. This has been something of a dis
appointment, and of late has been used
but very little. Indeed, SO much bet
ter results can be secured in forging
with hydraulic presses, that the giant
hammer is now being demolished and
removed. Engineering News, which
makes this announcement, explains the
step in the following manner:
1T was found that in the forging of
large masses of metal by blows from a
hammer, even though the ram weighed
125 tons, some undesirable effects were
produced. AS a definite amount of
time is required for the molecules of
the metal to flow, the action of the
blow was so rapid that the compression
could not distribute itself unif ormly
through the. mass; as a result, the out

HARNESSES THE SUN.
Chicago Inventor Has Succeeded in
Substituting Heat Rays for
Soldering Metals.

The sun has been made to perform a
new work by an ingenious Chicago
man. He has hit upon the idea of sub
shutting the suns rays for the iron
used IN soldering metal.
j. B. Merkel is the inventor Of this
new process. Mr.. Merkel's soldering
outfit is as simple as the methods he
employs in uniting different pieces of
metal. 1t consists of large and pow
erful burning glass and stick of spe-
cially prepared solder. With these he
has been able to make. 'joints' as firm
as those turned out Of any hardware
shop with the aid of irons and heating
pots.
Every one probably has at some time
or other been the victim or the per-
petrator of the. time-worn joke, in
which the suns rays are concentrated
in a convex glass and focused on the
hand or neck, and those who have been
through this ordeal know the amount
of heat that can be generated in this
way. They learn this from the burn.
ing sensation accompanying the joke.

CULTIVATION OF CORN.
Some Reasons Why 1t Should Have
ExceptiO naIly Intelligent Care
This Season.

The small corn crop of last year has
so affected the stock market as to
prove very clearly the Importance of
this crop, and it is also evident that
too much consideration cannot be
given to the present seasons crop, as
a means of overcoming the shortage
from last year. A butcher, deploring
the high price of meats, said to the
writer: Il will have to close out my
business because people are buying as
little meat as possible" He also said:
1T is costing me twice as much for
feed for my horse as it did a year ago."
Thus it is evident that the supply Of
farm products very markedly affect
all conditions of life.
Now, in view of these facts it is i'm
portant that the corn crop have intelli-
gent care. The experiments of pro-
gressive farmers in recent years show
that no general crop returns SO largely
for CIVILIZATIONS; but the old rule of
three times going over the corn field
is out of date.
If the few weeks following the plant
ing after the corn is up prove to be
cool, often the weeds get a start.
Weeds thrive, wet or dry, warm or cold,
and they must be kept in check if the
corn is to get a start. The weeder is
the implement that will help the farm
er to keep his corn clean, and it is
coming into use more and more every
year. good farmer of our acquaint-
ance has practiced going over the corn
with the weeder each way and then
following with the cultivator at each
successive cultivation. A man with
horse and weeder will go over more
than twice the acreage that man with
double team and cultivator can. The
weeder levels the ground and works
through the hills just where the work
is needed.
II there are doubts as to the profits
of so much labor on a corn crop, select
two corn fields and give one the old
time three civilizations and keep the
other field well stirred, charging up to
the latter the cost of extra labor ex-
pended and ascertain at corn gather
ing time if it pays.-Rura1 World.

Drinking Vessels for FowIs.

One poultryman says that he finds
it advantageous to have two sets OF
drinking vessels, using one one day
and the other the next. By this
means one set is summed and aired in
the off day. He thinks he keeps down
disease germs by this method. With
out doubt drinking vessels so handled
will be free from slime and other
things that may foster the develop
ment of disease germs. Certainly it
is wiser to err on virtues side than
to invite disease. We have noticed
that when one set of dishes only is
used for this purpose they sometimes
become very filthy. If disease appears
in the flock they offer good chance
for its spread.-Farmers' Review.

side of the forging was worked and
stretched while the inside. remained
practically unchanged. Internal stress
es were thus set up, and there was a
tendency for the formation of flaws in
the interior. Especially was this true
of shafts for steam engines, which
were one of the important products of
the great forging plant. With the
hydraulic press, on the other hand,
the force is applied slowly and is as
strong at the end Of the stroke as at
the beginning, so that forging is
made absolutely homogeneous, the in
terror of the piece being as thorough
ly and effectively worked as the ex-
terror. Besides this, the press is a
more convenient tool to operate and
maintain than the hammer.
''At the time of it's construction the.
Bethlehem hammer was by far the
largest and heaviest in the world, and
we believe it has never been surpassed
in this respect. Briefly described, it
was a vertical single acting steam en-
CINE with heavy ram attached to the
piston rod. Steam admitted below the
piston raised the ram, and it's fall pro
duced the desired blow. The
steam cylinder had a bore of 76 inches
and the piston had normal stroke of
about Is feet, which could be increased
to nearly 20 feet. The total weight of
the moving mass-piston, piston rod
and ram--was 125 tons. The working
steam pressure was 100 pounds per
square inch. The hammer stood about
80 feet above the ground and measured
80 feet across at iti base"

BANANA RIVALS WHEAT.
as the Given Weight of the 80
American Cereal.

Science again brings a new para
dox to the front. 1t concerns the
staple food supply of half the entire
human race-wheat. Long before the
discovery of the Chaldean ovens, ages
before Tyres bread bowls were hewn
out of the solid rock, man grew
wheat, ground and baked it for his
daily sustenance.
To-day science affirms that heat
as a general food product is doomed:
that not only is the supply entirely
inadequate for the maintenance of
the increasing races, but that wheat
has by no means the highly nutri-
-ent qualities that it has long. been
supposed to offer TO hungry human
ity, and that-n1ira bile dictu-the
unprepossessing, yellow skinned,
finger shaped, despised banana Of the
tropics promises utterly to supplant
1T in the estimation, of the world.
Not only, that the banana is. %
times as nutritious as the. given
weight of wheat, but that it is "A
times as. prolific. Thus fruit con-
quers over the cereal, Honduras over
South Dakota, and. famine promises
to be forever banished from the face
of the earth.

THE SURVIVAL OF A CHAIR.

 At the time we left the Roraima she was afire from her stem to the aft en- gine-room bulkhead. As we looked back we saw a strange thing. A con- mon reed chair, such as you often See on the deck of a transatlantic liner, was hanging in the air to the ships stern. It had been fastened to the af- ter flag and braced below so that it hung off i'll space just beyond the reach of the flames. Some poor devil had rigged it there and sat in it to save himself from fire, afraid to jump on account of the fierce rush of the vol canic currents below. We could see him there, sitting in his chair. long be- fore we left the ship, at the back of the solid wall of fire which divided us from him. and he must have suffered terribly before he dropped from his perch and went overheard. We could not get at him on account of the fire in the forward part of the saloon, but a stateroom was at hand close by, with plenty of life-buoys, and he might have got one and put it on: but strangely enough, after all that fire there hung the empty chair literally intact. The next morning the chair still hung there unharmed.-Leslie's Monthly.
