Putting Away Tools.
The wearing out of farm implements
i*. as a.i-n'r*. Due‘more to neglect than
to use. If tools can be well taken care
of, it will pay to buy those made of the
best ste%l, and finished in the best man
ner; but in common hands, and with
common care, such are of little advant
age. Iron and steel parts should be
cleaned with dry sand and a cob, or
scraped with a piece of soft iron, w ashed
and oiled if necessary, and in a day or
two cleaned off with the corn-cob, and
dry £and. Finally paint the iron part
with rosin and beeswax, in the propor
tion of four of rosin, to one of wax,
melted together and applied hot. This
is good for the iron or steel parts of
every sort of tool. Wood work should
be painted with good, boiled, linseed
oil, white lead and turpentine, colored
of any desired tint; red is probably the
best color. Keep the cattle away until
the paint is dry and hard, or they will
lick, with death as the result If it is
not desired to use paint on hand tools,
the boiled oil with turpentine and
“liquid drier,” does just as well.
Many prefer to saturate the wood-work
of farm implements with crude petro
leum. This caa not be used with color,
but is applied by itself, so long as any is
absorbed by the pores of the wood.—

How to Kill a Rattlesnake.
A working party on a railroad here is
made up of mountaineers and Georgians.
One of the latter performed a foolhardy
feat the other day that nrade the blood
of the unaccustomed spectators run cold.
They were at work clearing away the
thick underbrush, in advanoe of the en
gineer, when some one shouted: “ ’Ware
of rattlesnakes! ” He saw one of these
reptiles about four feet long and five or
six inches in diameter lying just ahead.
The Georgian cut a short stick with a
forked end, and creeping up to the
snake he deftly pinned it to the earth by
Eushing the forked end on either side of
is neck. Then, seizing the tail in his
right hand, he ran his left down the
snake’s body, and grasping it firmly just
back of the head he held it up at arm’s
length and called on tho others to “look
at the varmint’s mouth.” It was any
thing but a pleasant sight, and most of
the spectators were horrified. After
holding it a few minutes for general in
spection, he suddenly swung the snake
over his head with his right hand, let
ting go the hold of the left, and dashed
it with great force against a rock, kill
ing it instantly. It was a cool and dex
terous feat, but very trying to the look
ers-on, who censured the man for his
“folly,” at which he seemed to be
mightily amused.

is bright and intelligent, and lights up

uve Jewelry.
“ Here is something new in the way
of ornamentation,” a salesman in a large
up-town jewelry store said, opening a
box. Out walked a monster beetle,
fully four inches in length. About its
body was a solid gold band, locked by a
tiny padlock, to which was attached a
costly gold chain, about two inches in
length, fastened to a pin. The beetle,s
baede glistened in light, having been
treated to a dress of gold, and as it
lumbered along its long legs worked to
gether in a curious fashion. “It’s a
shawl pin. You see the pin is used to
fasten the face of a shawl, or perhaps worn
on the bonnet, the insect crawling
around the length of the chain. They
are perfectly harmless and not expensive,
as they live on air—that is, they have
never been seen to eat. This one was
brought here to mount, which is a very
fine operation, as the legs and an tenure
are all so delicate. After all, there is
nothing objectionable about them, ex
cept the idea of having them crawl over
you. They all come from •‘South Ameri
ca, and the only lot in tho city m to bo
taken to France, where tho owner will
try to introduce the fashion of wearJhg
them. They costfromslo to SSO, depend
ing entirely oa the amount of the ring.
There is nothing cruel about it, as they
are bound loosely, and the gold has no
effect upon their hard sides.
In Brazil the fashion of wearing beetles
is carried to a great extent. A well
known resident has a beetle with a col
lar of gold which meets at the top, and
is there ornamented with a diamond of
great value. The insect has a cage sur
rounded by the plants among which it
lives in its native state, and nothing is
neglected to make it as comfortable as
possible. But the most popular insect
used for an ornament in Brazil is a small
phosphorescent beetle. These are often
worn fastened in the hair, and as the two
phosphorescent or light-giving spots are
on the sides of the head, the black in
sect is, of course, invisible, especially
when in the raven locks of the fair Bra
zilians. Twenty or thirty of these bee
tles will throw out a light sufficient to
read by, and when arranged around tlie
head in a circle, or grouped over the
forehesid and held in place, the effect is
beautiful. —New York Sun.

which his horses are unharnessed by

Times.
—Dr. Isador Kitaee, of Cincinnati, has
patented a device for discovering fire
damp in mines before the miners enter
them. Electricity is U9ed to fuse little
pieces of metal at various points ia a
mine, and if an explosion of damp occurs
a bell is rung.— N. Y. Post.
—The Jcmrnal of Science -says that at
the soiree of the Society of Chemical
Industry, held at Owens College, Mr.
Fletcher, of Warrington, Eng., demon
strated the possibility of the combustion
of gas without visible flame, the heat
obtained from a quarter-inoh gas-pipe
being sufficient to fuse iron into drops.
—A gun invented by a man i_n Ripley,
Miss., is, if it is what it is claimed to be,
one of the most wonderful inventions of

twenty thousand times a minute, ean be

right or left, inclined to cover the slope
of a hill, contracted so as to bring tha
fire to bear on one spot or expanded to
cover a wide area, and all with the great

—lt is said that alcohol equal to that
made from grain can be produced from
acorns. The acorns are freed from the
shell and ground finely; then they are
mashed with malt and allowed to fer
ment. Acorns contain about 20 per
cent, of starch and 18 per cent, of glu
ten. They would be a valuable article
for human food if it were not for the
tannic acid (about 3 per cent.) which
they contain. Vast quantities which go
to waste every year, where hogs are not
fed in the woods, might be gathered by
boys and converted into alcohol for use
in the arts, thus freeing an equivalent
amount of grain for use as food.
—Considerable progress is being made
in reviving the mining indastries of the
Isthmus of Panama. For many years
its mines excited the cupidity of Span
iards and buccaneers. Indian and ne
gro slaves were made to work in quartz
and placer by the most primitive proo
esses, and almost entirely without mar
chiuery, but their labors were very pro
ductive, aocording to tradition. It is
centuries, however, since mos* of the
mines were abandoned. Some were
worked out, others were not rich enough
to pay with hired labor, and all required
an investment of capital which the un
settled condition of the country, and
espeoially the fear all foreigners enter
tained for isthmus fever, effectually pre
vented from being made.— N. Y. Sun.
—An impetus has been given to the
nickel industry by the improved process
es of making it malleable. Many useful
as well as ornamental articles are now
made of this material. Nickel table
utensils especially are in great faver
abroad. This class of goods is now be
ing manufactured largely in Prussia,
and is preferred to similar articles ef
other materials. The hardness of the
metal renders it capable of receiving a
high polish, which is not readily i
jured by friction of any usual kind:, on
account, too, of the peculiar smoothness
of the surface, matters do not adhere
firmly to it, and cleaning requires bnt
little attention or effort. It also pos
sesses the advantage qf not tarnishing,
like some other substances, when fre
quently used. — Chicago Tribune.
Life in the Deep Sea.
Tlie conditions under which life exists
in the deep sea are very remarkable.
The pressure exerted by the water at
great depths is enormous, and almost
beyond comprehension. It amounts
roughly to a ton weight on the square
inch for every 1,000 fathoms of depth,
so that at the depth of 2,600 fathoms
there is a pressure of two tons and a
half per square inch of surface, which
may be contrasted with the fifteen
pounds per square-inch pressure to
which we are accustomed at the level of
the sea surface. An experiment made
by Mr. Buchanan enabled us to realize
the vastness ot the deep-sea pressure
more fully than any other facts. Mr.
Mr Buchanan hermetically sealed up at
! both ends a thick glass tube full ©f air
several inches in length. He wrapped
this sealed tube in flannel, and placed
it, so wrapped up, in a wide copper
tube, which was one of those used to
protect the deep-sea thermometers when
sent down with the soundmg apparatus.
The copper case containing the sealed
glass tube was sent down to a depth of
2,000 fathoms, and drawn up again. It
was then found that the copper wall of
the case was bulged and bent inward
opposite the place where the glass tube
lay, just as if it had been crumpled in
ward by being violently squeezed. The
glass tube itself, wi biu its flannel wrap
| per, was found, when withdrawn, re
-1 duced to a fine powder, like snow al
most. —Notes by a Naturalist on the
