Kings Grant.

In the Office Of George r. Baker. in
the First National bank of New York
city, there hangs on the wall the orlgi-
nal patent from James II, king Of Eng
land. dated February 4, 1886, for the
land on which the First National bank
now stands, therein designated as
waste land" outside the city gate Of
New York. 1t was issued to one Thom-

ndmirall Of New York"
There Is attached small sketch Of
the property, showing Wall street with
its fence, and the city gate. through
which leads "Br0ad way"
When one considers that this waste

valuable spots IN the world one real.
lies what changes little more than
two centuries have wrought in New
York city.
What would Thomas Dbugan have
said If he had been told that on this
waste land" would one day stand a
banking institution returning its stock

Chinese Lanterns.

Particularly gay and attractive are
the shops of the lantern venders in the
Chinese cities. All varieties of Ian
terms are TO be seen-the large silken
ones three and four feet high, gor-
geously painted with variegated colors,
embroidered in gold and silver or dec
GRATED with deep fringe of the same
material, costing from 500 to $500 and
used by the wealthy mandarlns and
others; and common small horn and
paper lanterns, used by the coolies,
which cost one-siSteenth of dollar.
The mode of making horn lanterns is
very ingenious; the horns are cut into
remarkably thin slices which, by means
of heat and pressure, are Joined to-
gether and formed into various shapes
round, square, hexagon, octagon. and
some shaped to resemble an hour glass.

producing continuous. and equable
blast, but its use is restricted TO To-
calities where fall of water from a
height of several yards can be OBJ
tained. The principle is that water
can be made to fall through a pipe
in such a way that II will draw in
through side openings a considerable
amount of air, which by simple and
ingenious Arrangement can be utilized
as constant current or blast, and
which has the merit of costing almost
nothing. Ii has been utilized to linn
tied extent elsewhere than in the de-
partment of Ariege, in the South of
France, where it was formerly very
generally employed. Iron has been
made in that district for more than
COO years, but the use of the trompe
blast was not introduced until the end
of the seventeenth century.

The Piston.

"The piston is in the form of a
solid iron rod that enters the cylinder
through hole pierced In the middle
of one of the ends" writes Henri
Fahre. "and just large enough to give
free passage to the rod, without let.
ting the steam escape. This rod is
bound to another iron piece, called a
crank and finally the crank is attached
to the neighboring wheel. The
piston, advancing and retreatlng In
tnrn in the cylinder, pushes the crank
forward and back. and the crank thus
makes the great wheel turn. On the
other side of the locomotive. the same
things are taking place by means of a
second cylinder Then the two great
wheels turn q: the same time and the
locomotive moves forward"
