SILVER PLATING.
An Accident Pointed the Way TO the
Original Process.

Original Process.
In 1742 Thomas Bolsover, a me.
chanic of Sheffield. Engla nd. discovered
the art of silver plating. He was re-
pairing the handle of knife in which
both copper and silver were used. Ac.
cidentally the two metals were fused
together. Based upon this observation.
he developed the new process.
Upon q thick ingot Of copper ne
bound by iron wire a thinner ingot OF
silver. The whole was then heated In
a reverberatory furnace until the edges
Of the silver ingot were observed to
begin to melt. The two ingots were
then removed from the furnace. slowly
cooled and picked. cleaned and rolled
to the desired thickness. The result
was plate of copper more or less
thinly covered with silver on one side.
This was the first Sheffield plate.
For fifty years following the copper
was plated on one side only and the
cut edges showed the copper. Later
the process was SO perfected that no
copper was left exposed. All the sill.
verplate of the world was made BY
this process until electrUplating was
discovered and made commercial

Flame and Wire Gauze.

To Sir Humphry Davy belongs the
credit Of discovering that the fame OF
burning gas will not pass through wire
gauze having 7S4 meshes to the square
inch. This contention may be tested
by bringing a fame In contact with
similar gauze. when It will be found
that the fame will not SO through the
meshes. This is owing to the cooling
action of the wire. which tends to re-
duce the temperature Of the flame be-
low the ignition point. the unburned
gas passing harmlessly through. Of
course II the gauze becomes overheated

In watering the house plants 1t Is a
good idea to vary the usual method of
watering by pouring 1t into the saucers
in which the pots set. AS much water
as the plant needs will be drawn up by
capillary attraction. BY the usual
method of watering 1t may happen that
the roots in the lower part Of the pot
may not get as much water as they
need.

Dentists say that one of the great
causes of the weakness and early de-
cay of human teeth is that SO much OF
the food consumed is prechewed and
predigested that there is nothing much
left for the grinders to do, with the re-
suit that they get scant exercise and
the blood nourishing them does not
flow as freely as 1t should.

Pumpkins make excellent feed for
both cattle and hogs and have feed
ing value that is from one-fifth to one
seventh that of corn. A feature that
adds internally to the practical value
of pumpkins Is that they furnish va
riety and give zest to the appetite for
other feeds. This latter feature is also
true of turnips. which from the stand
point of food content are much inferior
to pumpkins.

the oilmeal costs $35 per ton and con.

feeding one part Of tankage with ten

step taken by the democratic party either
I'M the platform adopted or the leader
named by the next democratic national
convention.
platform and a progressive candidate 1T
is necessary that the rank and fle of
Ohio democrats take immediate steps to
secure the election OF forty-eicht tried
and true democrats as delegates TO the
coming national convention.
3. That to protect the progressive
democrats of Ohio against the POSSIBLE
ity of any traitor among these forty
eight delegates, IL is imperative that no
advocate. associate. protector, ally, agent
counsel. attorney, receiver, champion or
hireling of Wall street or other predatory
interest be chosen as delegate.
a That to protect the progressive
democrats of Ohio against the possibility
of any traitor among the delegates 10 the
state convention, it is imperative that
none be sent to the state convention to
adopt platform and nominate candi-
dates for state Offices and select dele
gates at large to the democratic national
convention except men who have shown
by their past records that they are pro-
gressive democrats.
-. That the recent victory of demo-
cratic candidates in certain eastern and
middle states, normally republican, was
solely due to the protest OF the progress
sive republicans against the tariff and
other selfish measures of the standpatters
in that district.
20. That the suggestion Oh the nomi-
nation of any other than a known tried
