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.
