Btillman and several others spent a taw weeks of the summer in the Adiron daekg. . The journey of the company gave rise to an incident which has often been in correctly told, and which, as a carious comment upon human fame, deserves to be told again. The coming of the party was of course made known along the track it would follow, and at Keese ville, where the common roads then ended, the town was agog to see the "philosophers," as they were at once collectively called. But neither Emer son nor Lowell was known, Agassis be ing the only celehrity to that world, ow ing to his having recently refused the offer by the emperor of France of the keepership of the Jardin des Plantes at Paris and a senatorship with a large sal ary, he preferring to devote himself to science and America. The selectmen of the town waited on the visitors early in the morning after their arrival to pay their respects, they aid, but really to see a man who had no regard for money and distinction. They were received formally, the spokes man bringing a copy of a periodical which contained a portrait of Agassis, which he produced and carefully com pared with the lineaments of the pro fessor until he had satisfied himself of the authenticity of the individual, when ho addressed his followers with. "Yes, it's him r And they then proceeded to shake hands with him, the rest of the party being ignored. W. J. Stillman in Century. How Did tb Dollar Mark Orlr;lnateT Below I give five theories of the origin of the dollar mark (?), they being select ed from about 20 seemingly plausible solutions: That it is a combination of the "TJ. S., the initials of United States. That it is a modification of the figure 8, the dollar being formerly called a "piece of eight." That it is derived from a representa tion of the Pillarsof Hercules, consisting of - two needlelike towers or pillars con nected with a scroll The old Spanish coins marked with the pillar device were frequently referred to as "pillar dollars." That it is a combination of "H. the ancient Roman mark of money tknit That it is a combination of P. and 8. from peso duro, signifying "hard Hol lar.' In Spanish accounts peso is con tracted by writing the a over the P., and placing it over the sum. According to one writer the symbol of the dollar is a monogram of the letters "V- "8" and "J" the dollar being originally a "thaler" coined in the val ley of Sant Joachim, Bohemia, and known as "Joachim thaler," and the monogram the initials of the words, "Valley Sant Joachim."

It is more tlinn remarkable that a cus tom wliic'.i i;; vie shortly after the death, tome l.SW years Ago, of a man whose nnnio was for centurier- Identified with all that was hostile to Christian domina tion and opinion should within the last few years have had an important and favorable influence on the earnings of certain British lines of steamers. No race lias been more enthusiastic in the way of pilgrimage to the holy city of Arabia than that inhabiting the Malay peninsula and archipelago. Although their conversion to Islainisin dates back only some 600 years, if indeed quite so long (the records of the event being de cidedly vague and untrustworthy), the duty of performing the "Haj" is recog nised by all right minded Malays as im perative. The peninsula itself probably furnishes a far fewer number of pilgrims than the large islands of the archipelago forming the magnificent territory knowi as Netherlands Indies. Java aud Celebes. Boyan and Bugis, to say nothing of in numerable less known places, now send forth multitudes yearly to visit the sa cred fane. It would not at first sight, seem that the journey made principally in well appointed steamers involved any particular hardships. But the nsnal conditions of the "pil grim traffic" are somewhat different from those of ordinary passenger vessels. The Malay pilgrim, whose ticket to and from Mecca is provided by a passage j broker, has to find his own provisions while on board. In all cases he has to pay smartly for conveyance from Jedd.i'i to Mecca overland, unless he elects to.'.o the journey on foot, but in any event he has to provide the necessary commis sariat. The steamers as a rule are over crowded for ordinary comfort, although permitted by regulation to carry the 800 or more pilgrims who embark. Should, as sometimes happens, an epidemic break out during the voyage, the death rate becomes tragical. The worst hard ships, however, commence on landing at the evil smelling and by no means healthy port of Jeddah. Few of the pilgrims provide them selves with adequate necessaries to tramp the greater portion of the 100 miles which separate the city of Mecca from its nearest port. Yet worse is their condition on returning. .The price of food is exorbitant, and thousands perish annually of exhaustion and insufficient nourishment and this despite the best efforts of the British and other consuls at Jeddah, who issue all needful warn ings to the pilgrims. Quarantine, again, tells heavily against the would be Haji. A few extra days' detention exhausts his small stock of provisions, and he falls a ready victim to disease. The result fr that a large proportion of those who visit Mecca never return to their own country. The trade, however, is profit able to steamer owners, much as it is disliked by captains and officers. As for Europeans unfortunate enough to be passengers in a pilgrim ship, they are not to be envied. Pall Mall Gazette. HOW PINS ARE MADE.

Urn-How They Oat Thalr Rich Pollah. by The machine that makes pins turns out 7,600 of these tiny essentials in an hour. Before the pin is finished it goes through very many operations, which are describedlu the Yout h's Companion as follows: A reel of wire hangs over the machine, the free end of which passes between two rollers. As the wire leaves the rollers it passes between two matched dies until it touches a gauge. J ust as it does this the dies come together and elamp it Character la OalU Gait is an important part of physical expression.

At the same time the machine cuts it off the proper length. 1 he gauge then moves away, and a little punch forms the head by strik ing the end which rested against the gauge. When this is finished the dies sepa rate and deliver the pin into one of the great many grooves in the face of the wheel about a foot in diameter, and just as wide across its face as the piu is long. When the pin is taken by the wheel it has no point, but as the wheel turns it rubs the pins against an outside band, which causes each one to roll in its groove, and at the same time car ries them past a set of rapidly moving files, which brash against the blunt ends and sharpen them roughly. They next pass against the faces of two grinding wheels, which smooth the points, and then to a rapidly mov ing leather band having tine emery glued on its face. This gives them the final polish, and as they leave the band they are dropped into a box under neath the machine. After this the pins are plated with tin to give them a bright, silvery ap pearance. They are prepared for plat ing by being first immersed in weak suipnuria acia to remove all grease, ENTIRELY NEW MINERAL, Crystal of "Carborundum" Created ay an American Chemlat. Incidentally to an attempt to pro duce diamonds by artifice an American chemist has recently discovered a min eral hitherto unknown the hardest Bubstanco In existence with one ex ception. It is called "carborundum." The inventor for making his gems obtained from a concern in Lockport, N. Y., the use of its aluminum-smelt-ing apparatus. In reducing that metal electricity is employed, $ en erating an enormously high tempera ture. As a chance experiment ho nut into the furnace a lump of clay to gether with a piece of graphite, which is pure carbon. The result was some small wino-colored crystals of rhom boidal shape. Ou examination it was found that they were harder than sapphire. Diamond is the hardest of natural ' minerals; sapphire comes next, and then ruby. Chemical analysis proved that the crystals were composed of carbon and silicon in a combitiutiou hitherto un heard of. It does not occur iu nature. The process above described, repeated again and again, produced the wine colored rhomboids every time. A com pany has been formed to manufaeture them for polishing all sorts of tliinirs, even diamonds. They are crushed to powder like emery and made into wheels with a cementing compound. The demand for them is already great er than the supply. At the office of the geological survey this new grind ing material is to be tried in the preparation of thin slices of stone for microscopical examination. These uuna 01 rocK granite, marble, or what not are reduced to such thin ness that one can read through them. Sir. Kuns, the famous expert in gems, believes that most of the pre cious stones will eventually be pro duced artificially. All of them arc very simple in their composition the diamond, for example, is pure carbon, and the ruby is almost pure alumina and the problem is merely to make their elements crystallize pronerlv. Chemists, who have hitherto confined their attention to taking things apart, are beginning to leurn how to put them together ugain. The English professor, Maskelyne, manufactured diamonds in his laboratory several years ago, though they were too small to have commercial value. Emeralds have been produced accidentally at the pottery works of Sevres, France.

The Dog Didn't Like HI Snore. In bunting for evidence of a dog fight Sunday the officers learned that one Herbert Bprague, a stevedore, had been bitten by a canine, investigation shows that Bprague went to bed Saturday night with a bull pup. Bprague snored, and this disturbed the dog, so be scratched his owner's face to wake him. Bprague retaliated by cuffing the ca nine, whereupon the bull fastened his teeth in the man's nose and then shook him, sadly lacerating the member. Bprague finally broke the hold, disabled the dog with a chair and then got a neighbor to shoot him. The nose will recover, but look bad.- " extent also gait denotes occupation. The j chine called a tumbling barrel. upright ana somewhat rigid walk of the soldier differs largely from the rather rolling gait of the sailor, and different from both of these is the slow, jolting gait of the country laborer, which, how ever, is partly accounted for by his clum sy and heavy boots. In the peculiarities of gait, again, an attentive eye discovers many moral qualities. Slow steps, wheth er long or short, suggest a gentle or reflect ive state of mind as the case may be. j while on the contrary quick steps seem to speak of agitation and energy. Reflection is revealed in frequent pauses, and walking to and fro, back ward and forward, the direction of flu ster wavering and following every changing impulse of the mind, inevitably betrays uncertainty, hesitation and in decision. It might be asking too curious a knowledge to distinguish by their re spective gaits the miser, the spendthrift and the philanthropist, bnt the proud man is almost always known by his step, the vain man to some extent and the ob stinate man not a little. Leisure Hoar. This is simply a cask suspended on a shaft which passes through it length wise. Two or three hours' rolling in sawdust cleans the pins and wears away any little roughness which the machine may have caused. Fins and sawdust are taken together from the barrel and allowed to fall in a steady stream through a blast of air. : After this they are spread out in trays having sheets of zinc in their bottoms, which have previously been connected with one of the wires of an electric battery. The trays are then placed In a tank containing a solution of tin in muriatic acid, and the other wire of the battery is inserted in the solution. Electrical action immediately begins and deposits metallic tin on the entire surface of each pin. They are then washed in a tank of water and put into other tumbling bar rels with hot sawdust. When they have been dried and cleaned of the sawdust, as in the former instance, they are put into a large, slowly revolv ing copper-lined tub, which is't.llted at tiring on a BegrgarlT SIO.OOO. So one who has not actually mixed with New York dandies knows how much they spend. Asocial philosopher has lately reckoned that a young man about twn, who takes his part in the good things which are going, cannot dress under $2,500 a year. His tailor's bill will eat half of this, his shirts and "gentlemen's furnishings" a quarter, his boots not less than $225. It will cost over $500 to outfit him for yachting, tennis and polo. Then add to this his bill for horses, his club bill, bis florist's bill, his restaurant bill, his lodging bill and the nameless sundries which constitute one half of the outlay of a young man about town, and it will be seen that a man mav have $10,000 a year and yet be familiar with the face of duns. I One of the oldest and wisest clubmen of the day recently, after an hour's study of the necessaries of life for a man of fashion, declared that he would advise no one to attempt the life with less than $25,000 a year.

'As this revolves the pins keep slid ing down the smooth copper to the lower side. This constant rubbing against the tub and against each other polishes tliem. It was the practice formerly to allow pins of all lengths to become mixed in the different operations, and, after polishing, to separate them by a very ingenious machine, but it has been found more economical to keep each size to itself. From the polishing tub the pins are carried to the "sticker," where they fall from a hopper on an Inclined plane in which are a number of slits. The pins catch in these slits and hang-, ing by their heads, slide down the in cline to the apparatus which inserts them in the paper.

THE HOTTEST SPOTS. Death Valley In ralif,rnla Carrlaa Off thn I'altn iu Anierlra. In the eastern heminphere the hot test spot is on the borders of the Per sian gulf on the southwestern coast of Persia. The thermometer during July and Auguit never falls below 100 de grees during the night, while the tem perature during the day rises to 1'2S or lilO degrees. Little or no rain falls, and yet, in spite of the terrific heat and other drawbacks, a compara tively numerous population contrive to live there, obtaining their water sup ply by divers from the copious springs of fresh water which burst forth from the bottom of the sea. In the western hemisphere the hot test region is a valley in California (known as the Death valley), situated to the cast of the Sierra Nevadas, and runningbetween two mountain ranges, the Funeral or Tuneral (0,000 feet) and the Amnrgosa (10,000 feet), which has as high or even a higher mean temper ature than the region on the Persian coast. In four months out of five dur ing which readings of the thermometer were taken, the mean temperature rose above 90 degrees, .while in July and August it exceeded 100 degrees.
