Plating iron objects with cadmium is the interesting new melallurgical echivement of German chemist. The bath is prepared by dissolving cadmi- um chloride in water, precipitating with sodium carbonate solution, and dissolving the washed precipitate, while still moist, in a solution of potas- sium cyanide in water. Cadmium anodes are used, with current of 4 to } volts. The deposit, after bufiing, has the same color as tin, but is harder.

FMPERATURE DROPS
 TO 6 BELOW ZERO

For the first time in two years the mercury dropped below zero last night. It reached zero at 6 o'clock in the afternoon. At midnight it. was 4 be- low, and between and this morning it had fallen to 6 below. Shortly after ward it began to creep upward and at , this afternoon had reached above. The barometer is falling and the thaw- ing point may be reached tomorrow.
 It is worth while to compare this minimum Seward temperature, the lowest ever known here, with the mini mum of the Southern states, as shown by the government records. The fol- lowing are minimum temperatures in cities below latitude 36:3O.

 Other cities in tine gulf states show minimum temperatures below zero or Huuc above it. In the border state. Dhe minimum k still lower. The min. mum record in Washington, D. (. was l5. In high attitudes in New Mexico and Arizona lower minimums than that of Seward are recorded. Rose, burg, Oregon, not far from the coast and with an altitude of about 1000 feet has recorded the same minimum as Seward -G degrees below zero. Olym' pia, Washington, has minimum mark of , below.

The ChinchfIIa,

Chinchilla is a beautiful soft gray
fur 1t is not the most durable of furs.
and, because of the difficulty of getting
the perfect skin, it cannot be said to be
among the least expensive. A muf
and stole of the real chinchilla cost
easily $1,000 or so. The tiny chinchflla
itself. not more than twelve inches
long, with q plump little body on short,
stout legs, thrives only in the tropics.
The little beasts have to be killed with
the utmost preca ution not to. injure
their fur, that grows on skin nearly
as tender and soft as a web Of silk.
A perfect skin not larger than a small
pocket handkerchief is revelation
in fur growth. The texture of every
hair is finer than floss silk, the length
Of it nearly an inch and the coloring
about that Of the soft. undyed marabou
feathers.-Philadelph Bulletin.

Titles In Italy.

There is an old Venetian adage which
says, "Conte che non cOnta non conta
niente" GA count who doesn't count
[moneyl doesn't count for anything'').
And this cynical proposition represents
fairly we'll the sentiment of the mod
ern Italian. In that country the gen.
eral feeling toward the titled aristoc-
racy is of utter Indifference. The lesser
sort of titles are regarded as almost
valueless even by their possessors. II

of the patron saint of his or her birth
day the good priest could not and
would not call him assumption Bona

course neither Mr.. nor Mrs Bonaparte
objected that their firstbOrn child
should be named Napoleon, having
thus the high patronage of a brave
martyr Of the early Christian church.

HOW Plate Glass Is Made.

The cast plate glass Of which mirrors,
shop windows and such things are
made is prepared from the whitest
sand, broken plate glass, soda, a small
amount Of manganese and cobalt
oxides The glass when perfectly
melted is poured upon an iron table
of the size required, and the thickness
is regulated by strip of iron placed
down each Of the four sides of the
table Immediately after it is poured
out the molten substance is fattened
down by an iron roller, which lowers
the glass to the thickness Of the strips
at the sides. 1t is then annealed Or
tempered for several days, after which
it is ground perfectly level and polished
to transparent hrilliancy. The first
plate glass was made in 1858 at ST.
Picardy, France, where the process
was found out by an accident, as SO
many other important methods in
manufacture have been discovered.

Cornish Fishermen.

In the estimation of the average
Cornish fisherman rabbit is an omi-
nous word and should it happen to be
used by any one in their hearing when
they are on their way to sea it is suffi-
cient to send them home again for that
occasion for fear of accident In Corn
ish fishing circles many tales are told
Of disasters that have followed def
ance of this superstition and persist
ence in putting off in their boats after
the unlucky word had been spoken.
Formerly the word church was equal
ly obnoxious to the fishermen and
was sedulously eschewed in converse
ton, on the water particularly. If a
case arose, as sometimes it would, in
which a sacred edifice had necessarily
to be referred to, "cleeta" was used
instead of church, and whatever was
ominous or evil in the sound of the
latter was imagined to be thereby
avoided.

A BIunder In Poets.

Tennyson is not the only poet lau-
reate whom Regent street has known.
Southey relates a ludicrous scrape into
which he and Campbell fell one day in
the Quadrant Campbell wished to
relieve a poor woman and rushed into
the nearest shop to change sovereign.
The shopkeeper was attending to Gus
toners and delayed to oblige him, and
the generous poet lost his temper.
Thereupon the shopkeeper jumped to
the conclusion that he had two rogues
to deal with and rashly sent for the po-
lice. Campbell stood in helpless fury,
but when Southey explained things to
the constable that worthy, who happen
ed to be a Glasgow man, at once ex-
claimed, "Guidness, mon is that Mais-
ter CAMEL, the lord rector O. Glaisgie?'
After that it was difficult to separate
Campbell and the shopkeeper, SO
warmly were their hands interclasped
in explanations and forgiveness. -

The Formation of Coal.

Many different theories are held by
biologists to account for the formation
of beds of coal between strata of rock.
The simplest Of them is that vast
masses of wood, such as grew in the
carboniferous age Of the earth's de-
velopment were sunk under the sea,
that deposits of silt upon them changed
to rock and that by some upheaval Of
the. earth the bottom of the sea was
lifted above sea level. Such upheavai
occurred in remote geologic ages in the
Mississippi valley, all the central parts
Of which were undoubtedly at one
time covered with water and formed
an arm of the sea. The one thing GER
tain about coal is that by one process
of nature or another it has been con-
verted from the giant trees which grew
in the carboniferous age of geology.
How many thousands or millions of
years that was nobody knows. All
that is known about the duration Of
different geologic ages of the world is
that they were long.

back, but is not at all disturbed by the
