MECHANICAL.

An English lockmaker has constructed a key which he claims is capable of opening 22,600 patent lever locks, all of which diner in their wards or combinations. As described, the key weighs three ounces, is nickel-plated, and' is said to be the result of three years’ labor on the part of the inventor in making drawings, of the different wards or combinations. A grooved fly-wheel of remarkable size and weight, says the Hardware Trade Journal, is in course of manufacture by- Messrs. Goodfellow & Matthews,' of Hyde. The diameter is thirty-four feet, and the weight eightythree tons,.while the circumferential velocity will be 5,350 feet, o< over a mile a minute. The face is grooved for thirty-two ropes, each' 1-J inches in diameter and capable of driving 40-horse power. The fly-wheel is intended for the factory of the Astley Mills Company, near Hyde Junction, and is made in fifty pieces. Some ten years ago Mr. Edward Crane defied the Massachusetts Legislature and the railroad men of the State of Massachusetts with a declaration that railroad transportation would yet be made cheaper than water transportation, and that railway competition would drive out lake and canal transportation. In the last quarterly report of the Treasury Review of Statistics (page 418) it is shown that the tonnage transported on the New York State canals has fallen from 6,442,225 tons in 1868 to 5,009,488 tons in 1884, while the tonnage on the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad has increased in the same time from 1,846,599 tons to tons; on the Erie Road, from 3,900,000 to 11,071,000; and on the Pennsylvania, from 4,722,000 to 22,583,000. This is exclusive of the tonnage moved On the leased lines 'bf these companies.- The tonnage transported by rail on the four American trunk lines increased from 44,767 tons in 1880 to 53,549,316 tons in 1884. The total value of the wood used as sawlogs, fuel, railroad ties, fencing, handles, wheel stock, wood pulp,basket; excelsior, ears, shoe-pegs, etc.,-ia-the-United States is estimated for the year 1880 at $400,073,094. The capital invested was $181,184,122, and the number of hands employed was 147,956, The estimated value of the wood consumed as fuel for domestic purposes alone in that year is $305,95’0,040, and the quantity is stated at 140,537,439 cords. The annual loss by forest fires is estimated at $25,462,250. Only the actual value of the material destroyed is included in the estimate. This, however, is insignificant in comparison with the damage inflicted upon the soil itself or with the influence of fire upon the subsequent forest growth. The fertility, or rather the ability of the soil to produce again a similar crop of trees to the one destroyed, is lost, and is only regained, if at all, by the slow growth and decay of many generations of less valuable plants. The condition of the forests in Maine shows that forest preservation is perfectly practicable when the importance of the forest to the community is paramount.

Aunt Ellen’s Idea of Freedom.

My father (writes a correspondent) was a slave-owner in the South before the war, and I was brought up largely by colored nurses, to whom I naturally became very much attached. After the war the blacks were scattered more or less, and but a few of my father’s former slaves remained in our neighborhood. Among those who did remain, however, was one of my old nurses, a woman of about forty-five or fifty years of age, who lived onVhelarm of a man who had never owned slaves, and who took no further interest in the blacks than to get work out of them. Returning on one occasion to visit my home, I received word that “Aunt” Ellen wanted me to come to see her, and of course I was glad to go. I found her living very meanly, faring, apparently, much worse than she ever had done when a slave. Her husband was a drunken, worthless fellow, whom she had to support; she had poor health, and a houseful of poorly clad, poorly fed children to care for. Brought up in the midst of slavery, and being at the time a very young man, I had never realized the cruelty of that institution, and as I looked about my old nurse’s cabin I could but contrast her surroundings with what they had been when I was a child and she was a slave. So I said to her, “Aunt Ellen, don’t you think you fared much better when you were a slave? Then you had a better house to live in, plenty to eat, plenty to wear, no doctor’s bills, and never any thought or care about such things.” “Dat’s so, Mas’ John,” she replied. “I did hab mo’ to eat, an’ mo’ to wah, an’ none o’ dis here kin’ o’ trouble; but den, de Lawd bless you, ho'ney, afta all,da’s de feelin’s’!”— Editor’s Drawer, in Harper's Magazine.

The Noise of the Javan Volcano.

Reports collected since the memorable eruption of Krakatoa, in August, 1883, have shown that the explosions were heard over a circle of thirty degrees radius. A more astonishing announcement still is now made by Dr. F. A. Forel, the well-known Swiss physicist. He has learned that On the day of the great eruption startling subterranean noises resembling the roiling of distant, thunder w r ere heard in Cai-man-Brae, a small island ih the Caribbean Sea, near tho antipodes of the volcano of Sunda Strait. These sounds can not readily be attributed to any neighboring volcanic disturbance, and Dr. Forel is forced, to infer -.that they may have been propagated thropgh the entire diameter of the earth, i ’

“Night Blindness.”

There is a defect of eyesight common among the natives of India known as “ratandhi lit, “night blindness. ” Persons affected with this have either ordinary powers of vision by daylight or else powers so little less affected than ordinary as to feel no little inconvenience, so that usually no defect js. noticeable; while in feeble twilight their sight fails in the most extraordinary way, and in the dusk they become (in bad cases) practically, blind. Of course there are all degrees of this

affection, but the strongly marked cases alone are likely to attract attention. By medical men in India this affection is said to occur most among men living pn - a low diet (chiefly of cereals), and the palliative treatment is * to prescribe a meat diet.

Mexican Senoritas.

The streets of Mexico are, in a measure, unlike those of any other city we have so far visited. Straight, wide, and lined with handsome houses two or three stories high, almost invariably of stone, and lighted by large windows opening upon the small stone balconies, it loses something of the English character which the narrow lanes of black adobe walls give the lesser towns, but gains a corresponding richness. These little balconies, ornamented often by carvings and always by balustrades of wrought iron, often brightened by gilding and color, and shaded by linen awnings, make a feature in themselves. Here on Sunday and fete day, as well as toward evening, the youth of the citygather in the full dress of private life, and the stolen glances, -which form the only intercourse allowed between the sexes, flash back and forward between youth and maiden. Even deprived of the opportunity for interchange of vows, for hand-clasping, and tender greeting, it is self-evident that a young Mejicana, true to the traditions of her Castilian forebears, can make as much havoc with her languishing dark eyes and the softly fluttering fan, which supplements them, as any other girl arrayed in the full rational outfit of courtship. This is true, of'course, only when she, as alway should be, but seldom is, happens to be beautiful. The pretty girls are exquisite. The slender oval of the face, the rich olive of the cheek, the long, sweeping dark lashes of the superb eyes glowing at once, with passion and tenderness, the low forehead with its Tippling mass of dusky hair, the slender neck, the lithe form, the springy step, and the dainty foot make them like a poet’s dream of darkly brilliant loveliness, not to be measured by any type with which we have been heretofore familiar. But nature is never over-lav-ish, and the number of these splendid creatures is as few as their perfections are many. Remembering the streets at home after the Friday afternoon rehearsal, filled with the fragile, flower-like bloom of winsome but delicate girlhood, its brave eyes looking the world full in the face, with that mixture of innocence and boldness which is the hybrid blossom of modern civilization, these shy but rich specimens, as rare as they are wonderful, look few indeed. Their perfection is offset by the equally pronounced ugliness on the part of the many, and young womanhood changes into faded middle age even sooner than with us—which is saying a great deal. Nevertheless the graceful lace mantilla, which is yet almost univer sally worn in the street, but which, unfortunately, is beginning to give way to the ugly stiffness of the French hat and bonnet, gives to many a plain face such a soft and effective background that one brings back from a walk only a piquant and pleasing impression. If the Mexican women knew what they were about they would cling to this becoming headdress as they do to their faith; the sex has no right to set aside such a charming accessory.— Letter in Boston Journal.

Love.

Thje handsome young lady and the awkward man of pretended sentiment sat on a moss-covered bank. All day he had annoyed her with his. attentions. “Miss Mabel,do you not like poetry ?” “Yes.” “I worship it; I live on-4t. See the picnickers out there. They shout and romp as though the air itself were not full of sentiment—of soul breathings. ” “What business are you engaged in ?” she asked. She knew, but wanted to hear him say. “My business is perhaps more lucrative than congenial. I operate a bonemill. “What!” “Yes. I grind up bones. The pulverized bone is used’upon the land. It makes the flowers brighter, the corn more luxuriant. Miss Mabel, you remind me of spring.” “Why?” “You are so gentle.” “You remind me of spring,” she said. “I do ?” He leaned forward to catch her words. j “Yes; you are so green.”—Arkansaw Traveler.

A Matter of Money.

“My daughter will receive five thousand dollars on the day she marries you,” said an Austin father to a suitor for his daughter’s hand; “she will receive five hundred dollars and the rest from time to time, as my circumstances justify it.” “That’s all right, my dear sir,” replied the mercenary youth, “but hadn’t we better wait with the marrying until wet’ get everything together.”— •-Texas Siftings. In overhauling a railroad Bible, one of the editors of Texas Siftings accidentally discovered the origin of an alleged modern joke, in 11.

How to Write Love Letters.

Prudence is rarely thought of. Discretion is at a discount. The future is the present. Vows are made which in calmer momenta are. regretted, and promises are passed which unhappily, though knots tied with the pen, cannot be unloosed with the teeth. It is just such letters as these which are kept, sold, and in time printed. For anything they contain out of the beaten run of modish sentiments and superficial philosophy, the epistles of the Abelards and the Heloises, of the Strephons and the Chloes, the Clarissas and even of the Marlowes, might be pasted on a church-door. But of all letters, those most certain to bp preserved are the ones which ought to be Soonest destroyed. Long after the feelings which dictated them have vanished, the wronged wife or the injured mistress will cherish those memorials of happier days, and the archives of every sound-hearted woman contain trbigger or smaller parcel of like import. Even the “angular figure in the bombazine” the “Autocrat” discovered cherished the memory of a rustic “Hiram.” A man, or it may be a woman, writes loveletters long before he or she is within measurable distance of fame, and then, after their names lend value to their chatter, some literary resurrectionist makes capital put of their foolishness. In later years they are more wary. But at that time of life most people’s sweethearting has come to a It is, indeed, open to debate when any honorable man is justified in keeping a private note. No one would of going home and entering down in writing the conversation of his friends on every theme that turns up, and then getting the precis so drawn out witnessed. Yet a letter is, ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, simply the substitute for a verbal query or reply. It -is perhaps useless, knowing the twists of human contrariety, mend prudent persons to burn every document which is of no business value, or which they do not wish to be published after their death, or to pass into the stranger’s hands. Yet doing so, the best plan would be, as some one has suggested, to write all such evanescing epistles as love-letters, in “sympathetic ink.’’ The art of the chemist has devised a fluid which will preserve the characters traced with it long enough for all useful purposes. But just when they begin to be mischievous, when the blackmailer thinks his prey ripe for the bleeding, and the woman scorned begins to haunt the stairs in Chancery Lane, laden with the tell-tale package, all she will have for her “proofs” will be a score or two of blank pages. Everything will have gone. Vows, promises, and poetry will have disappeared as completely as the passing madness which dictates them, and the calculating damsel will return a sadder. but. a wiser woman than she set out. — London World.

A Brave Couple from Denver.

“Ah! yes,” replied the doctor, “he certainly the coolest man I ever saw on a death-bed on an ocean steamer. i The second night out I was called to his cabin. He lay in his berth, this tall, gaunt Westerner, looking already like a Corpse. As I went in he said cheerily: ‘Doctor, it looks like I’d made a mistake. I reckon I ought not to have come to sea just now, but I kinder thought my strength’d hold out to get me to Italy, and there I might git round again.’ I knelt down by Ips side and carefully examined him. I told him that had he asked my advice before coming I should certainly have forbidden him to undertake the voyage. He smiled feebly and said: ‘I knew ye would, and that’s the reason I didn’t ask ye. Wife’n T made that up between us, didn’t we, wife ? Though I reckon she ’lowed I’d better stay at home.’ Death had already set his mark on the man’s brow. I told him as gently as I could that I feared the worst, but that he might succeed in weathering the voyage, which was a rough one. He interrupted me, saying: ‘That’s all right, doctor. Don’t you worry none about me. Es I die, jest have ’fem chuck me overboard, and don’t make no effort to get me to shore. I ain’t afraid on it, nary a bit, and my wife’s prepared to see me go.’ “His wife, seated on the cabin sofa, buried her face in her hands for a moment, but when she looked up again it was placid. As I went out he repeated, ‘Mind, now, what I tell ye, doctor, and just let ’em dump me right into the water. What difference does it make where a man is buried ?’ He died three days after this, and was, of. course, buried at sea. Two days after his burial his widow gave birth to A child. My heart went out to this desolate widow, about to be landed on a foreign shore, with a n&w-born babe in her arms. ‘Madam,’ I said, ‘your admirable courage is more than enough to awaken any one’s warmest sympathies. Can we not assist you in any manner ?’ What do you think she answered ? She said: ‘Doctor, don’t mind me; live seen a heap of trouble, and I’m used to it. The last child I bore, before this one, I was on a flat-boat, floating the Upper Missouri River, the Indians was firin’ at us from both sides of the stream, and my husband was fitin* ’em from the! boat. We’ve seen powerful hard times, but I don’t feel broke up yet. Thank God. I’ve got money enough to keep me goin’ a while, and I reckon 111 have to stay in England some, so’s to let this little one get big enough to go back again.’ She and her baby arrived safely in port, and I never saw them more.”— Brooklyn Eagle.

Eating is a Torture,

And sleep often a mere travesty of repose, to the dyspeptic. ' Appetite is correspondingly impaired by this most prevalent of maladies, and headaches, biliousness, constipation, poverty of the blood, loss of flesh and vitality, and a thousand annoying and indescribable sensations are its concomitants. It is, moreover, the progenitor of numerous and formidable bodily disorders. Obstinate as it is, however, its complete eradication may be effected by the persistent nee of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, a medicine which communicates both vigor and regularity to the organs of digestion and secretion, relaxes the bowels gently but thoroughly, enriches and purifies the blood, promotes appetite, and gives tranquility'to the nervous system.

Trifles.

The proverbial lore of all nations is, strongly in favor of the importance of trifles. “The mother of mischief is no bigger than a fly’s wing,” runs the Italian proverb; while the English traces up the “loss of a kingdom” to the loss of the nail of a horseshoe. Many historical writers have pointed out what different results would have followed some trifling departure from the line of action followed by the men whose lives they«record. Livy devotes pages to speculations as to what would have ensued had Alexander the Great invaded Italy. Had Prince Charles Edward march south instead of north after quitting Derby, our Hanoverian line of kings might have terminated with George 11. Had Charles Martel lost the battle of Tours in 732, the crescent might have supplanted the cross in Europe for centuries. Had? the famous “Icon Basilike” been published a week earlier, many persons believed it would have saved the life of diaries 1., so strong a hold did it take on the popular sentiment; but the work appeared a few days after the execu-, fion of the King. In every-day life we must all know countless instances in which a mere trifle has affected a whole career. The failure to keep an ap pointment, or to catch a train, a slight accident, a shower, a letter posted too late, may all be the very turning points to a life, and bear results for good or evil for the whole of a man’s existence. When the Jacobites toasted “the little gentleman in black velvet” (the mole who made the hillock at which the horse of William 111. tumbled, inflicting injuries on his rider, which afterward proved fatal), they acknowledged the universal tendency to trace up great events to trifling sources.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION

For the Newark- Machine Company, of Columbus, Ohio. The Newark Machine Company, at Columbus, Ohio, is the owner of several patents for building the Victor Double Huller Clover Machine, wbicn is the only double cylinder clover huller made in the world, it has a wide reputation all over the land, and the sales run up to 800 in a single year. After the destruction of the company’s works at Newark, last summer, the Ashland Machine Company at Ashland, Ohio, sent out notices that owing to the destruction of the works of the Newark Machine Company, that company would be unable to furnish hullers for last year’s trade, and stated they would build a clover huller and seed cleaner as good as the Victor. The firm of Gear, Scott & Co., of Richmond, Ind., secured a Victor clover huller and tore it apart and commenced the building of clover hullers with seed cleaning attachments thereto, which could scarcely be told from the Victor, upon which they tried to secure letters patent. The Newark Machine Company filed interference suit before the Commissioner of Patents at Washington, and furnished such conclusive evidence of the attempted seizure of Newark Company’s patents, that the Commissioner of Patents decided the patents of the Newark Machine valid in law and were infringed upon by the firm of Gear, Scott& Co. Under this decision the agents who have sold or the persons who have purchased and used a clover huller embodying any of the features of the Victor are liable to the Newark Machine Company for damages. The Newark Machine Company will now turn their attention to the case of the Ashland Machine Company for similar infringements.

Yet Mr. William Westfall, formerly of Rock City, Dutchess Co., N. Y.. now ot Washington Hollow, in the same county, came to the office of Dr. David Kennedy, the eminent Physician and Surgeon of Rondont. N. Y., some time since, in a condition to excite the sympathy of the most cold-blooded and hard-hearted person in the world. We say he came—he was, rather, carried to the Doctor’s office, for he was totally helpless,and bore the weight of 80 years besides. He bad suffered long from Retention of Urine, and had all the symptoms of an aggravated case of calculus formations in the bladder. The usual instrumental examination revealed the presence in the bladder of a urinary calculus of uncommon size. Dr. Kennedy frankly told Mr. Westfall that, owing to his age and debility, an operation was out of the question, but that he could by the prescription of “Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy,® together with local treatment, make him comfortably and leave him to live out all his days The outcome of this was that the patient enjoys good health to this day.
