Silver Plating without n Battery.

Dissolve eight silver quarters

amount in two ounces of nitric acid
(strong), and to this add four ounces
of common salt dissolved in as little
water as possible. a heavy precipitate
is silver chloride. Decant the liquid,
add more salt solution to see if all the
silver has been taken out. Wash the
silver chloride precipitate with water,
and then dissolve it in a solution COM
posed of two ounces potassium cyanide
and three ounces sodium hyposulphate
IN six ounces of water. Filter the So
luton, if necessary, and make up to
two quarts with pure rain water. You
may, by the aid of this mixture, plate
all sorts of things. as watch chains,
rings, medals, watches, ornaments.

as spoons, spectacles, etc. Hang the
article to be plated in the solution
suspended by a strip of lead or i'm
merse the articles and boil them for
10 to 20 minutes, according to the
thickness of the plating desired. The
articles to be plated must be free from

How to Demngnetize n watch.

Hang the watch to a string and twist
the string so as to rotate the watch
rapidly near the pole of a strong mag
net. While it is whirling, gradually
take it away from the magnet This
will produce the desired effect.
The method used for demagnetizing
with alternating current consists of a
coil of wire with hole in the center
large enough to admit a watch, the
coil being connected to a source of all
ternating current, and when the watch
is dropped in and pulled out it is de-
magnetized.

Compressed Air ns Consumption Cure.

One of the engineers of the Cleve-
land Water Department, who assisted
in the construction of the Cleveland
water tunnel, believes that he has dis
covered in compressed air the cure for
consumption. He has arrived at this
conclusion after watching the effect of
compressed air on men at work under
it. He declares that one consumptive
was completely cured, and that many
men whom the engineers were afraid
to place under compressed air because
of weakness, thrived upon it. In the
New York tunnel he claims that physi-
clans have also found consumptives i'm

CoIege of William and Mary, Will
liamsburg, Va. Published by Whit
tet & Shepperson, Richmond.
This is a very welcome addition to
our knowledge of the history of vir-
ginia-a well-written story of the his
toric city of Williamsburg, by a gentle-
man of distinguished literary abilities.
The sketch begins with history of the
establishment of Williamsburg % years
after the landing at jamestown. It
owed its establishment to the need of
an outpost to hold the Indians of the
Pamunkey River in check One of the
first propositions was to run a palsade
across the peninsula from the James
to the York Rivers, with it's center at
Williamsburg. The General Assembly
offered grants of land to those VINO
would settle there, and ordered a levy
OF men to perform the work. In con-
sequence palisades six miles in length
were run from the creeks and a settle
ment called Middle Plantation which
became Williamsburg, was made This
palisade afforded protection for some
time, but it was allowed to fall into
disrepair, which led to another fright-
full massacre. The development of Will
gy and good sense of Lieut.-Gov. Alex
ander Spotswood. The college had been
established, but he did much to en-
courage its growth and develop the
city. One of the queer features was
that the college was obliged to pay
two copies of Latin verses to the Gov
ernor every 5th of November as quit
rent for its lands. One gift of this kind
celebrates the exploit of the Governor
in riding with a band of adventurous
horsemen across the Blue Ridge into
the Shenandoah Valley.
This book abounds in interesting gos-
sip as we'll as substantial history, and
every page is well worth reading by
those who would acquafnt themselves
with the history of our country. Ex-
cellent maps, portraits and pictures en-
beilish the volume, which is gotten up
in a manner entirely creditable to the
publishers, and it will make a fine adj
dition to any library.

Making a Name For Himself.

A New York business man says
that he once had in his employ as
office boy lad named Magillicud-
dy. Naturally enough, this young
ster received SO many joking refer
ences about his name from his fell
low employees that he became ex-
tremely dissatisfied with it. So
when he applied for place under
another employer in the building he
evidently decided to bestow new
name upon himself. When the man
to whom he applied asked him his
name the boy replied:
Robert Recapitulation."
That's an odd name," said the
man after having the lad repeat it
several times.
The boy looked surprised.
Haven't you heard Of General Re-
cap!tulation?" asked he.
