The copper production of the United States in the year 1838 was the largest ever recorded in a single year, or a total of 535,900,232 pounds of fine cop per, which was an increase over 1897 of 34,529,937 pounds, or 6.8 per cent. A New York exchange states that farmers have been wasting cornstalks to the value of $900,000,000 a year. They , are good for “hole-stoppers” for battle ships, cardboard, paper, foundation for dynamite, cattle food and glue. The ' difficulty, however, is to sell them for the money. . M. Piatti dal Porzo, an engineer from Tunis, has invented a deep sea diving apparatus, which has been tried with out accident at a depth of 170 feet near Cherbourg. The inventor declares his purpose of searching for the hull of the Alabama, which lies where she was sunk by the Kearsarge, off Cherbourg harbor. According to Prof. Packard, in the fifth report of the United States ento mological commission, the oak tree is inhabited by 442 species of insects, the willow by 223, the pine by 170, the hick ory by 170, the birch by 117, the maple by 102, the poplar by 100, the elm by 92, the chestnut by 66, the wild cherry by 56, the thorn by 46, the walnut by 44, the butternut by 29 and the wild plum by 21. People have been poisoned with bread containing salts of lead, which came from the timber used to heat the oven. The Paris council of hygiene has, there fore, forbidden the employment of painted or unpainted wood from old houses, old sleepers impregnated with creosote or sulphate of copper, and dis used blocks of wood paving for heating ovens, on the ground that poisonous volatile salts may arise from them and deposit on the roof or floor of the oven. H. Schaw has invented a method of blasting by electricity and steam com bined. Mr. Schaw found by experiment that it would be easy to boil water in a cartridge by using a thin coil of plati num wire through which electricity is sent. The steam pressure within the cartridge would rise to 150 pounds per square inch and far in excess of that. If the water cartridge is success ful in mining its application to heavy blasting may be made of use by railroad engineers, western mining concerns and in large quarries.
