At the Schuylkill United States ar senal, near Philadelphia, there is man ufactured each year 8.000.000 rounds of ammunition and 15,000,000 rifle balls. A mixture of finely powdered mica and crude petroleum is said to be giv ing remarkable results as a lubricant. A poultry-fattening company has been organized in New York, to fatten fowls on the French plan. It is pro posed to handle 100,000 birds every three weeks. The oxygen band in the spectrum of the electric light from the Eiffel tower was, at a poict live miles dis tant, found to be similar to that of the sun's rays. South America exports many tanned skins of sheep, lambs and kids. The process of tanning is imperfect, however, and many of the skins are spoiled or inferior in quality. The graphophone is likely to find novel use in medicine. Every kind of cough may be recorded, to serve in teaching students and for tracing the progress of disease by future com oarisons. At Alba, Mich., there is a concern which annually cuts about 8,000,000 feet of maple and elm logs into oval wooden dishes. The dishes are cut with revolving knives from square chunks of wood. A system of building houses en tirely of sheet iron has been commu nicated to the Society of Architecture in Paris. The walls, partitions, roofs and ' wainscoating are composed of double metallic sheets, separated by different non-conductors of heat. j Blanche Howard, a female doctor, gives statistical proof that the mor tality from diphtheria is rapidly in creasing. Twenty years ago in France this mortality was between 36 and 45 deaths in every 100,000 inhabitants; now it amounts to 110 to 121 in every 100,000. In England the deaths in every 100,000 number 22; in America, 60 to 90; in Germany. 140 to 155; in Christiana, 340. Each ton of coal used by the three principal gas companies of London, England, costs, on the average, lis lOd; but as it produces 12 cwt. of coke, 10 gallons of tar. and other residuals, which sell altogether for about 7s 10Jd, the net cost of the coal is reduced to a little under 4s per ton. A ton of coal produces between 9.000 and 10,000 feet of gas. The following interesting experi ment was recently tried at the Royal Academy of Science: A lath or thin slat of wood was caused to rotate very swiftly, as if on a pivot, and on the surface thus formed a picture was pro jected by means of a stereopticon. The picture hud the appearance of existing in the air, without any back ground, for objects placed behind it could be seen through it. Waxed paper bags are now made, the interior surface, of the paper being lined with a thin coating of paraffine, which renders the bag substantially air-tight and water-proof. Confection ery, fruit and other eatables may be kept wholesome and fresh, and they are useful for druggists and grocers. Coffee or cheese may be kept in them without losing their aroma, and larger sizes are valuable for storing clothing and many other uses. WHEN THE DEAF HEAR. A Lawyer Finds Oat mad Loam a Good Client lu Addition. The deaf man has just discovered that riding in a rumbling car robs his affliction of its terrors, and is getting even with his backbiting acquaintances who have expressed their opinions of him heretofore without reserve. An ec centric millionaire, who had no hear ing under ordinary circumstances, found this out the other day at the ex pense of his lawyer, and the latter now mourns the loss of his most profitable client, while the deaf man thinks be has learned a thing or two. The lawyer was sitting in a car talk ing to a friend when his wealthy client entered and dropped into the vacant seat beside his legal adviser. "This old curmudgeon will talk me deaf, dumb :aad blind," said the Blackstonian to his companion, and they both scowled at Moneybags, who was looking out of the car window. "He has spent lots of money with me, but it's worth a mint to yell in his ear. I'm tired of it. He is deaf as a post." Then the deaf man turned around. 'You can send me your bill in the morning," said he, "and I'm done with you." Lawyer and companion looked at each other amazed. The lawyer set about to find how his client recovered .his hearing so quickly. "It is due to the counteraction of the jioisy motion on the drum of the ear," said the aurist to whom ho applied for in formation. "The rumble of the heavy wheel on the track causes the drum to vibrate, and the afflicted one can hear quite plainly. Some people think that they voluntarily raise their voices in a -car. That is not so. Always speak in a low voice to a deaf person in a mov ing car or vehicle." Philadelphia Record. Couldn't Stand Financial Disaster. Angelina There is no use in talk ing, mother.

The publicity given to scandals affecting people of no social conse quence whatever is much to be de plored, if only for the reason that it gives them, so to speak, a "conspicu ousness" to which they are not en titled, but upon which they flaunt about among their betters. When a man milks his cow, puts water in it, and sells it, he is fined; but when men build a railroad, water the stock, they are elected Governor or sent to Congress, to aid in enabling the stockholders to get large dividends on the water in the stock.

Said an old railway engineer the oth er day: " There are three kinds of trains that I do not want to have any thing to do with. One is the pay train. You never know when you will over take the section hands. You will be going at the rate of forty miles an hour, away you go around a curve, and you will dash by the boss and hands, and have to go back to them. There is always a good deal of talk over the wages, and much time is taken up. The next unpleasant train to handle is an excursion train. Every one living along the line of road knows you from seeing you come by every day, and they think you know them as well. When on an excursion they presume upon their friendship to endeavor to ride on the engine. No other place will do them. The engineer has to re fuse them, as it would amount to dock ing his wages from thirty to sixty days, if he complied, as it is positively against the rules of the road. The per sons denied the privilege always feel hard about it, and look upon the en gineer as unaccommodating. The last and worst of all, however, is the offi cers' train. If you run slow they say you are scared and fear to run fast. If you make good time they say you are careless and reckless, and want to kill somebody. You can't suit them." Atlanta Constitution.

"No. Alfred," she murmured, softly. Tour heart is on this'side."

Trial of T went -fire Tears It If 1'ronounced Failure. After a trial of a quarter of a century, the Emancipation act is now acknowl- edged to have utterly failed. The re- ports of Russian officials, of statistical PJ?S-?i SCZ? 1T2 and the Nihilists with Stepniak at their head, all alike agree thatthe misery of the rural class is greater than even in the davs of serfdom: cultivation is at the lowest ebb, the yield is wretched ' J and less than in any other European neanyau 01 rne Aonnern stares ano country. Each peasant must plow, sow Canada. It will be pretty heavy in the and reap as his neighbors do. The! Atlantic and Gulf States, but in the in-three-field system of corn, green crops 1 terior tbe precipitation will fluctuate, and fallow, which was abandoned in being heavy in some places and small all good agriculture long ago, goes on -n others, averaging normal. On the with disastrous results. As the lots are changed by the Mir at their pleas ure, after every year, the temporary owner does not care to manure. etc.f or in any way to improve his land. Although the rent is sometimes as low na turrkaViillinrrd an sinrn rnt. t.hft Tlpnsnnt can not live. Agriculture is a business requiring capital, knowledge, and a sufficient amount of land to enable dif- ferent crops to be grown, so that if one fails it does not mean starvation, for another may succeed. The Russian peasant has none of these qualifies - tions. The peasant proprietor can neither pay the money owing to the Government for their land, nor even the State and communal taxe. and are flogged by hundreds for non-payment In one district of Novgorod fifteen hun dred peasants were thus condemned in 1887. Five hundred and fifty had al- ioii-ltr lioDn flrkrrnror) nrYion t.Tio incrtAntYP interceded tor the remainder. Wide-' spread famine is found over a great part of the country; usurers, the bane of peasant proprietors in all countries, are in possession of the situation; the Koulaka and Jew "mir-eaters" sup ply money on mortgage, then foreclose, and when the land is in their own pos session get the work done for nothing M interest. Tnese "bondage laborers," a they are called, are in fact slaves, and are nearly starved, while the small pieces of land are often reunited into considerable estates, and their new owners consider they have only right! and no duties. Meantime, as forced labor is at an end and free labor is of the wont possible kind, the old land owners can get nothing done; they have tried to employ machines, bought by borrowing from the banks, and are now unable to repay the money. The upper class has been ruined, with no advantage to the peasant. "The waste ful culture of tbe cottier," as Stepniak calls it, "on these small plots is so bad that the general welfare of the coun try," says Prof. Jansen, Mis in danger by the small yield of the soiL" In spite of the philanthropic intentions of the j Czar, he is believed to have aimed at diminishing the power of the nobles as much as of improving the condition ' nf tho npnsnnta TTo nupppaded the' OI me peasants. lie succeeaea, me nobles in many districts are entirely ; .!j j a!, 'i,t..,. v i ruined, and there is- nothing now be- tween the unlimited power of the auto- i j i.- nnimftnnn u;- - I crat and his 9O,0W,000 subjects, five- .

A few deaths have already occurred mon& catt!e g ' settlers along Cottonwood and Clear Creeks. Cattle, we understand, are not very fond of the beans, but during a storm will bite at anything green. In many fields the stalks are yet green, and are full of green beans. If allowed to stand unattended the are a menace to your own stock, as well as to that of yonr neighbor. The average farmer has done well enough with his castor beans the past season, and now care slinnld be used lest your labor may prove in vain by the loss of a few good cows. It is impossible to gath er a bean field clean, and the second growth which has set on the stalks the past few weeks makes open fields doub ly dangerous. Either the beans must be fenced or otherwise disposed of, or the stock must be herded ; otherwise severe losses are certain to ensne. Think of this.
