Th* Value nr Coax, SirriNOß.—The
aiftirtßß ami email coal at f:i mouth
of ooal pit* *n<J In coal vsurds have
now, owl hr to the enhanced cost of
fuel, a positive commercial value, be
ing more and more largely need for
making patent or artificial fuel. The
method most generally In vogue Is to
mingle It with some adhesive and
combustible substance, like bitumen,'
pitch, tar, or rosin, and then mouid It
into cakes by pressure. In Belgium,
where this Industry has attained great
success and importance, the coal dust
is agglomerated Into blocks by ad
ding eight or ten per cent, of coal tar,
ana some hundreds of thousands of,
tons are used annually for heating’
locomotives. These blocks are very
Dearly of the same density and weight
as solid ooal, and burn without, pre
senting any obstacle to the circula
tion of air through the grate. It wns
nearly twenty years ago tlyjt, the ad
vantages were pointed out of blowing
coal dust Into a chamber lined with
fir* brick, bo that It. might he Ignited
on coming lu contact with red hot
furnaces, after having been mingled
With the quantity of air necessary for
sombnstlon. Many of the largest
manufactories in the United Blntes
have for some time past used pulver
ised fuel for furnaces and boilers.
Coal dust has also other uses; among
these may be mentioned ils employ
ment in foundries for moulds, and its
use as a building material mixed with
one-sixth part of cement.
An rapnovED extinguisher for street
lamps has been Invented, n peculiari
ty of the construction In this c:se con
sisting of an arrangement by which,
when the pressure uim the gas in in
ereaied at the gas bouso above the
amount to resist which a cup Is
weighted, the cup will be forc ed up
ward, raising the lower end of the tuba
above mercury, and allowing the gus
to pass through the tube to the
burner. This tube Is hold down
against the Increased pressure by the
catch, which Is pivoted to a small
brocket attached to the cover; and us
the oup ond tube descend upon the
decrease of the pressure, the edge of a
flange strikes the oatch, pushes It
back, and passes below It the catch
immediately swinging forward over
this flange, preventing the rise of the
cup and tube until the catch has been
drawn bock. When the timo for
lighting the si reel, lamp approaches,
the pressure upon tlm gas is increased
to the desired point at the gas house;
then, as the lamplighter oomes to
•nnh post, he pushes back the catch,
aud as the tube oup rises with the
pressure, lie lights tlm escaping gae.
when the time for putting out tho
lights arrives, the attendant at the
gas house reduces the pressure to the
proper point, and til tho lights uro
put out at the same timo.
WORKISB KDI.KI OF CONV KItSATIOB
Conversation in Europe has beon
described us u duet to in an opera in
whloh the two persons engaged in it
ore talking to an imaginary third per
son, eaoh recounting a tale of his own.
“I soy something and you say some
thing else, and wo will agree to cull it
a conversation.”
Now, in Turkey there are certain
forms or canons of conversation, any
violation of which Is considered au
outrage, and the sum of which con
stitutes their oodo of politeness as ap
plied to conversation. I will enumer
ate these one by one
1. Never to interrupt the speaker
while he is talking. However long
winded or uninteresting his conver
sation may bo to you, politeness re
quires that you should wait for his
conclusion. You are not under any
Obligation to enter Into conversation
With him at all; but If you do, it is an
understood condition of your conver
sational treaty that you should let
him have his say.
1 Never to diverge la tlis middle of
a conversation from the main thread
of a discourse into a collateral Ihsuo.
The breach of this rule Is considered
by a Turk os au unpardonable rudo-
Bess. To drive a red herring, as it
Were, across tho scent of conversation
Is, in hl opinion, to confound all
(bought and render all profitable oon
peoutive conversation Impossible.
This leads as a oorollary:
S. To allow a short but sufficient
pause between the conclusion of a dis
cussion on one subject and the enter
ing on n new subject.
i Never tell a person a thing ha
knows already,
•. Not to excuse oneself whetaoon-
Vtoted of being in the wrong. How
vary seldom you hear In Europe, “Yes,
t wss In the wrong. lam sorry for
it.” But In Turkey it is considered a
violation of principle and a breach of
politeness to refuse to be convicted of
srrov. The cause of this difference
Mss deep in the character of the two
races; In the absence on the part of
the Turk of petty vanity and dlstrnct
to self-esteem. The proudest race
ia the world, they are entirely exempt
from vanity,
ft. When you have nothing to say to
bold your tongue. They never talk
for the sake of talking. Empty, Idle,
Jabbering Is a Frank but not au Otto
man praotloo. In Europe it is con
sidered de rigusur to "say something,”
whether that something is worth say
ing or not. Not so in Turkey. To say
something, when you have nothing to
say worth saying, is considered there
a degradation to yourself and a
rudeness to your neighbor.—Pall Mali

AUSTRALIA I* HORSES.
The experience of Australians Is
against the theory of some people that
thoroughbred anlmuls do not deteri
orate. Horses In that country are of
the best blood from England, but on
the runs where they liavo increased
without care they are worth only the
value of their hides and hair. Per
sons obtains good living there by
shooting these animals. On one sta
tion as many as 7,000 have been sho'
and plenty still remain, the “brum
ble shooter” receiving ten shillings t
head for those he kills.
The first stage coach from New
Tork to Boston started June ‘24, 1772,
from the “Fresh Water.” It was to
leave each terminus once a fornight,
fure four pence per mile, and reached
Hartford In two and Boston In four
days. The proprietor promised a
weekly Btago"lf encouraged in their en
terprise.”
Bpeakiiw-Tchrh on railway trains. —
One of the plans for effecrtug oral com
munication between the passengers and
guard, on railway trains adopted in Eng
land, consists io placing beneath the floor
of each car a metal speaking-tube, con
nected between the cars by a continua
tion of india-rubber tubing coupled in a
skilful manner, and forming a line of
coinmanication between the gnard and
driver at either end of the train, the pipe
being supiplied at each end with a steam
whist,lo. Each compartment of the car is
furnished with an intercommunicator,
which enables the passengers to com
municate, with the guard or driver
through the same pipe. Across the
mouthpiece in each car it is also proposed
to place a small clasp, secured by a seal,
that must be broken before the apparatus
can be used, which, by being the means of
detection of, is therefore a security
against, improper use. To communicate,
the seal is broken, the pipe pulled out as
fara-i it will coine, and thus held till the
communication is complete, telling the
guard the number of the car, and then
letting the pipe return to its place by the
action of the spring.
Desioninq on Glass.— An Ingenious
mode of designing on glass, being a mod
ification of the process by which copper
plate engravings on paper are transferred
to porcelain, has been invented in France.
As tine-lined copperplate engravings
would not adhere to glass, others having j
considerable depths are used j also, to im- ;
part to the enamels that thickness which
the gloss requires, stearates and oleates
are added to the usual elements, which
serve to support or to fuse the colored
and coloring oxides; and for a vehicle, a
Solution of resin in ether or benzine is
added to the mixture. Impressions, taken
mechanically on paper with this ink from
engraved rollers, are transferred to the
glass, which is then treated as in similar
processes with porcelain, and is finally
placed in the furpaep. Effects of great
artistic beauty and merit are found capa
ble of being produced by this means at a
trifling cost, and it is probable that the
application of the art will be greatly ex
tended.
IHIAINS IN TINS OR I'VRII.
The Grand Theatre at Vienna was
crowed. The Emperor Francis, with sev
eral members of his family, was in the
imperial box. The play, "Schiller’s Rob
bers,” had reached the third act, when a
cry arose that the stage was on Are.
Emile Devrient. signalled at once to the
proprietor, who lowered the curtain. The
actor, stepping in front of it, ere it wholly
fell, in his clear, clarion voice said;—"The
Emperor has been despoiled of an aig
rette of diamonds. No honest person will
object to being searched. You will pass
out one by one at each entrance and be
searched by the police stationed at the
several doors. Any man attempting
to go out of order will be arrested.” The
crewd, deceived by the coolness of the
charge, poured out. As each reached the
door, he was simply told to hurry on, and
just, as the last rows of the upper gallery
were filing out the flames burst through
the curtain. But not a life was lost,
though in less than an hour afterward the
building was in ruins.
A PACfER'H riIORUKCY.
Nearly half a centnry ago, a woman by
the name of Loomis, living in the town
of Pawlet, Vt., was compelled to ask re
lief from the town which was refused.
She finally became a charge upon the
town, and she then made a row that the
town of Pawlet should not be without a
pauper for fifty years. She will be one
hundred years old in October, 1876, and
the fifty years will expire some time next
winter. She has had offers of marriage
during her dependence, but her answer
always was, “I would not swap the town
of Pawlet for the best man living.” The
town house, where she now resides, is
over a mile from Pawlet village. Last
fall she made her annual visit to the vil
lage on foot.
Three is a curiosity of literature in
England called the “Wordless Book.” It
does not contain a word, but the color of
its leaves are supposed to interpret the
thought. _ Two black leaves symbolize the
unregenerate heart of man; red. the
blessed redemption; white, the purity of
the soul, washed in the blood of redemp
tion; and gold, the radiant joys of heav
enly felicity.
