The American watcheshave attained Hiich excellence that they are now uni voroally regarded as superior time pieces to tlioHo of Swiss and French manufacture, and, in respect alike to flniBh and accuracy, the hand-made American watches are acknowledged to have no Kiiperior, while their cheapness iH Dimply wonderful. In the new proeeHH of making white lead the ore as it comes from tho mine in volaiilized and oxidized by the air, the funics are condensed in a nlihtly acid liquor, and the resulting sludpe is washed and dried for the market without having been touched by the men. (juick- iieas of manufacture, Htartlng with ore and not with the purified metal, and avoidance of danger to the workmen, are among the advantages of the new system. 4 Fertilizing material is now pro cured from iron. In the manufacture of Bessemer steel alight basic slag known as Thomas slag is tho result, which is reduced to an impalpable powder and sold to farmers, as it contains a large proportion of the phosphoric add. Those who are familiar with the merits of the slag estimate that it contains twenty one per cent, of plant food. A French scientist removed the shell n cither side of an egg without injur ing 4be membrane, in patches about tit size of the diameter of a pea, snugly fitted the openings with bits of glass, placed the egg with the glass bull's eyes in an incubator, run by clock-work and revolving once each hour, and had the pleasure of looking th rough and watch ing the change upon the inside at the end of each sixty minutes. It has been estimated that the capi talization of the varipus corporations and concerns in this country dependent upon electricity for their business, from the Western Union Telegraph Company down to the humblest maker of electrical appliances, is not less than $uu0.0()0,000. This means that the people now pay an annual tax of between thirty-five and forty millions for a convenience which forty years ago had scarcely begun to attract attention as something more than a Boientillo toy. Philadelphia Ueoord. A lecture was rooently delivered at Madras, India., on the mosquito. The lecturer, Mr. II. Sullivan Thomas, con siders the mosquito a most useful pest, seven-eighths of its existence being de Toted to tho service of men and only one-eighth to their annoyance. It exists In the larval state twenty-one days, and during that period engages in sanitary work with ardor and thorough ness. Wherever there is dirty water, wherever there is a filthy drain, there the mosquito larvie are to be found in hundreds, voraciously devouring the contaminating matter. Jf. O. Times Nomoerat. . , m m A REMARKABLE WORK. A Pnlntlntr A I mime to Koprencnt Every Plume of It ii iiih.ii KxIstniivH. A painting remarkable for its breadth of conception has boon placed on exhibi tion in the Yule vending room by ira de signer, U, ii'imt Houston, of Mahattan, Kan., who is at present a tutor at the university with a view to entering the Divinity School. Tlie work is entitled "The Universe," being intended to em brace every phase of human existence, and is divided into eight planes the in fernal, the material, the human, the in tellectual, the moral, the Christian, the futuro and the eternal. Tho infernal piano represents dark ness as pictured by Dante and Milton. The material plane represents the sun breaking upon the chaotic world. In the center is Christ, about whom tho whole universe turns; His feet rost on the material plane, and His hands roaoh into tlio eternal. The figures on the right of Christ represent tho pro-Christ-aln era, those on tho left tho Christaln era. In tho human plane on tho right, Adam and Eve are drifting away from Christ, with Adam looking mournfully back. Tho intelluctual plane shows pre-hu-r toric men. the cave-dweller and the vinc lovlng god liaochns. An altar on which the golden calf of Jewish idolatary rests rises in the background of this plane. Modern civilization, with Julius Caiaar aim id u.iso dcpicieu. In the moral plane the Mosaic dispensation is represented by Moses with his rod point ing to the Itilile; David and Joshua are with Moses. The flashing of lightning in the sky represents the appoaraneo of God on Mount Sinai. An allusion to the present civilization is on the right of this piano, with the Uartholdi Btatun of Liberty and figures of Shakespeare and Luther, Tho Christian plane is represented by Christ with the material platie on one side and the llible on the othfr. Before '.he bneilica from which came the modern church edi nee are I'eier, John una dame. Tho Bible, the fountain, and the cross are raised high above the plane of human existence. In the future aal eternal planes are represented the various the ories of future existence. Mr. Houston has patented an '"Educational Model of the Universe," giving illustrations of the moveini nts of the heavenly bodies, and material illustrations of yiental and moral truths. This model is at the North' western University in Chicagoi Ex-President Porter, of Vale University, and Professor Thayer, of the Harvard Divin ity School, have shown special interest In Mr Houston's work. Chicago Journal. Black Magic. Medieval writers had much to say atxiut black magic, and those who prac ticed it. In our time we have grown so wise that we have proved no such filing exists, or ever did exist. Very good. What we are not afraid of is not apt to hurt us. But if there is no bucIi tiling as black magic, what malign influence is it that enables a person like the woman Diss Debar, the so called "spoofc priestess" to entangle victim after victim in her net. She bamboozled Luther Marsh, one of the ablest lawyers of New York, out of thousands of dollars, by alleged spirit pictures: . She deceived many others by pretending to produce the same kind of picture upon the stage, though the fraud was so palpatio that it made ont feel bad for human nature to think any body could be taken in by it. The woman was sent to Blackwell'i Island prison for obtaining money under false pretenses, tier career was' fully exposed by newspapers throughout the country. It woukl have been a reason able conclusion that Diss Debar was irretrievably ruined. Was she? Not she. No sooner had eiie been released than she went to Wash ington and laid her net for a rich widow there. The spook dodge was played suc cessfully. By elate writing the rich widow was commanded to give Diss De bar a shelter. Next, the two went to Europe together, D. D. claiming to be the persecuted and cast off wife of the rich Mr. Luther Marsh. In London the widow was rescued from the spook priestess while she yet bad some money left, and came borne. Thus the priestess makes her living. She is not handsome. She is fat. She is not eloquent or learned. Nevertheless, with her record fully exposed, wherever site goes she finds rich people who be come as babies in her hands. Her case is not singular. Most of our readers will recall instances in which, in some inex plicable way, unworthy and designing persons have wound themselves around the best and noblest of people, and made them do their will utterly. If this is not mentnerism, or black magic, or some ihkig of that nature, what is if Kmaralda and Other Stour That Will R J-'aNliiouaule Till Season. Emeralds will be more fashionable thar. they have been before in years, and while diamonds will, of course, hold their customary place at the head of all precious stones, the gems from Brazil will lie worn by tho ultra-faahionablr throughout the season. The demand for emeralds even now surpasses that of any previous season, and the price is gradually increasing. It will not surprise the dealers if it gets to be on a par with diamonds. It is but slightly below that now and unless the craze wears off or th supply is increased there is nothing to prevent its reaching high-water mark before the holidays. Emeralds have been gaining populari ty for the past season or two, but not much notice was taken of them until last spring, when they became quite prominent at the affaires de nonele. The principal dealers in precious stones in the city immediately put up tho price, and all summer tho largest jewelers have been sotting them in new designs anticipating a big demand. As a result emeralds will be found within two weeks in all sorts of settings both alone and in combination with rubies, diamonds and turqnois. Brazil furnishes almost all the first class stonei, although a few aro found in Europe and tho United States which do notcome up to the standard. Emeralds, with very few exceptions, have flaws in them. Perfectly pure Btonos are so rare that there' run are freuuentlr al luded to as flaw stones. Thousands of new designs in neck laces, brooches, bracelets, rings, pins and watches aro being placed before tho public, mado to include one or more emeralds. Tho general style for a neck lace or bracelet is te have tho emeralds fairly large, with dozens of small dia monds about them in irregular clusters. A string of hearts about tho size of a dime, of diamonds with a quarter-caret emerald in the center of each, is one of the latest caprices for a necklaco or bracelet. The latter is mado of fourteen hearts, and costs $800. Stars are used in the same manner, also various kinds of small flowers. For rings pearls are used to set off the emerald, usually setcrosswiseorinsome pretty design. Many of the emeralds have been cut in the shape of a crescent or a star, while otliem are finished in the same way diamonds are, cut, instead of the old fashioned oblong shape. These are used mostly in bracelets, or necklaces designed to represent a rib bon tied in a bow knot. Black pearls are also in great demand this fall, but their scarcity and price will prevent them ever becoming a rage such as the present craze for emeralds. There are comparatively very few black pearls in the United States, and it is always hard to buy a good one, even if the price paid does seem enormous. They are found mostly in the lower part of the Gulf of California, and are sent direct from there to Europe, to be pre pared for the retail dealers and then shipped back to this country. The turquois will be used some in combination with eithur black or white pearls, aside from its usual popularity in connection with diamonds. There are not many new designs, however, for it which do not include a pearl or an emerald. "Rubies, as diamonds, are always fashionable," said a gentlemen uptown who is considered an authority on such subjects, "and the price is considerably higher than it was a year, yes, three months ago. They are bought by people who do not change their jewels as they do the style of their bonnets, and will always bring a good market price. Next to diam-iids and black pearls, they are considered the best investment that could bo mullein precious stones. 'T X. Y. Mail and Express. A singular circumstaTice recently occurred at Bidcleford, Me., which re minds one of the days when people bar tered in beads and wampum. Two men, one a small, slender person and the other of proportions in the neighborhood of 300 pounds, were employed by one of the women in that locality to dig a grave on her family lot. They workedrapidly, and ere they were aware, the excavation was so large and deep that the fat man was unable to get out of the hole. A machine was constructed, and afterquite a struggle the big man was once more on top. In payment for their services the woman a short time after gave each of the two men five quarts of gray beans enough to keep them out of the ground for quite a while if it came to the worst. A Wonderfully Made Fish. One of the most wonderful of fishes Is the one bearing the name of chiasmodon niger., or the great swallower. The body is elongated, of nearly uniform thick ness most of the length of the fish. The jaws are very long and fitted with sharp teeth, some of which seem to be reversi ble. The manner of feeding is to grasp a fish by the tail and proceed to climb over it with his jaws. As the captive is taken in, the stomach and integument stretch out; the distended belly appears as a great bag. The fish will swallow notber one six or twelve times his own size. This rapacity proves his own de struction sometimes, as the gas formed in the process of digestion makes a bal loon of his stomach that brings the flsb to the surfaco. A3 his habitat is sup posed to bo 1,500 feet below the surface, this is the only way he came to be in troduced to the public through the three specimens now on exhibition in muse ums. Pittsburgh Dispatch. ine Chilians have evidently dis covered the secret of longevity. From a recent return it appears that nearly 600 persons out of a total of 2,500,000 aro upwards of a hundred years old. One man puts his ago down at 150, making him the oldest man in the world. After him comes a woman aged 138; two women and ono man re port themselves as 135; 132, 130 and 127 each have a representative, while there are seven 125 years old, eignt 120, twenty-seven 115, and no less than ninely-ono aged 110. But they are mostly colored persons. The whites in Chili are cut down like flowers at the earlv aire of 90 or aor. Uue oi the reason's for the strong hold the chrysanthemum has upon, popu lar regard lies in the tact that it is an old fashioned Bower. It has a claim upou the affections of many people tlirougu early associations and child hood remembrances that the later triumphs of the florist's art can never fttuuju. Is it better for a town t , ' , works? Mr. Bronson Kefe this question iu The P'orum'v .. Iu Europe it is as common to own gas plants as it is for them t . owners of water works In AirtA Without exception, the result is favora ble. Eight cities in tho United States own their gas plants. Four of them are in Virginia Richmond, Danville, Alex andria and Charlottesville. The others are Philadelphia, Bcllcfontaine, O.; Wheeling, W. Va., and Henderson, Ky. The prices range from the highest, $1.62 at Alexandria, to the lowest, at Wheel ing, 75 cents per thousand cubic feet. The gas works at Wheeling the writer considers a model of excellence. W hat a city can do with her own plant is w-ell shown here. The municipal authorities bought the gas works of Wheeling in 1863 for 170.000. Gas was then $2.50 a thousand. From tho profits, under city management, debts were paid and the works rebuilt with modern improve ments without taxing the people a dollar. The plant is now worth half a million. The product has been lowered to seventy five cents per thousand, and the streets, the markets, school and engine houses, all the public buildings and the Young Men's Christian association are lighted free of charge. Yet the Wheeling gas works in 1889 turned into the city treasury a net profit of 27,106. The Wheeling rate for gas is the lowest in the Union. It is because the works are out of debt, and there are no dividends to pay to stockholders. With modern discoveries and improve ments tho manufacture of gas is becom ing constantly cheaper. The prediction is made that in a few- years it can be manu factured to sell for 25 cents per thousand. Then, or even when it comes to be as low as 50 cents, it can lie used for fuel the country over. Mr. Keeler finds there can bo no such thing as competing gas companies. Customers who do not like one company, in the nature of things, cannot change to another, unless1 they move their houses. Moreover, a gas company never yet was started to compete honestly with another. The new company is always founded to blackmail tho old company into purchas ing it, just as a parallel railway line is constructed. Walking Clubs. How can nature take care of us if we never go to see her? She cannot; that is plain. It is a thought that is at last be ginning to percolate the brains of many town people. We lwe and thrive by the workings of nature within us. ynless we go out now and then to sojourn be neath the sun and sky, and to be in touch with mother earth herself, we can have no long continued well being of soul Or body. Mindful of this, city and town people are forming walking clubs. They take what they call cross country walks. A party of pleasant acquaintances, whose days are doomed to be spent behind desks and within walls, meet at an early hour of the morning at a designated spot and take a train to a station a few miles beyond city pavemrnts. There they leave the cars and start on their walk. It is anywhere from ten to twenty miles long. Dinner is taken at some pretty rustic inn, where cream, fresh eggs and milk are plentiful. Sometimes a lunch is carried along. In every case the cross country walkers provide abundantly for inward refreshments. Men and women both go in the walk ing parties sometimes, though often each sex tries it alone. Sundays and holidays are chosen for the walks usu ally. The route is selected beforehand, sometimes on level roads, again In a hilly country. The walkers gain a knowledge of scenery and landscape, and health, gracefulness and good looks besides. Who -anirs the negro? A colored col ony from the United States have been preparing to settle.jn Mexico. They ob tained necessary concessions from the Mexican government, but the people of the vicinity made strong objections to having tho colony in their neighborhood. Under tho circumstances the best thing for the negro to do is to stay right where he is, work hard at anything he can find till sometliiiig better offers, try with all his might to educate himself and accu mulate property, and be an honest, moral man. That is what white people have to do who make any permanent success, and the same road is open to the black man in most parts of this union.
