The Supremo Court chamber nt Wash
ington was given over to frescuers the
past summer, and was a barren and
desolate place enough. Dusty white
bags shrouded the busts of dead and
gone Chief Justices in the niches around
the semi-circular walls, the floors were
bare, and tho high Ixmch looked cold
mid lonely. Scaffoldings held the pain
ters to their work up under the high
ceiling. In the gloomy looking t ick’s
desk was locked up the famous court
Bible, an Oxford edition of 1790, first
used when the court came to Washington
in 1800. Since then every President has
kissed it at his inauguration, and every
Chief and Associate Justice has been
sworn in upon it. Just to the north of
the main chamber is the triangular room
in which Moore placed his first telegraph
instrument and received the first mes
sage sent over tho wire. It ennte from a
field station at Bladensburg, six miles
away.
An Eastern paper says that “the
Metlakatla Indians, driven from the
dominion of Canada by the inequalities
of the land laws there, which have put
their little Territory at the mercy of
land grabbers, have already begun their
immigration to Alaska. Under the
present land laws, or absence of them,
ili Alaska tho industrious Metlakatlans
have no guarantee of the security of
their new homes, but prevalent interest
in our great Northwest territory will un
doubtedly lead to legislation on the sub
ject in tho near future, and the agitation
of tho wrongs of the Metlakatla people
nnd the general sympathy with them re
sult in a secure title to the hind they
propose to occupy. Annctt ■ Island is
the spot selected, and the advance body
had already located their in August. The
progress of these Indians in civilization
is one of the most encouraging incidents
of the whole Indian question, and their
advent to Alaska will introduce an ele
ment of value into the industrial educa
tion of the natives.”
Liberty will soon illuminate the world
from the western as well a- the eastern
side of the continent. Adolph Sutro,
the mining millionaire, is erecting her
.statue on Mount Olympus, in San Fran
cisco. The figure was sculptured by
Wie.tz, a Belgian artist and he called it
Jxi Tri-nnphe <le 1i l.umiere, the triumph
of light, and said it wn; made to te
present “light triumphing over darkness
—liberty over tyranny and despotism.’
Butro saw it exhibited nt Antwerp mid
foil in love with it. It is made of arti
ficial stone, siwed up into fourteen pieces,
and in that shape imported into ths
country. It is ”5 feet h gh, mid will
stand on a 15 fo>t pedestrnl, while the
mountain under it is 700 feet high.
Californians count in the mountain , and
in all its altitude 710 feet. It has taken
two weeks to build the pede-tnl, two
weeks livin' will stick the nrtitl dal rock
together, mid the gre t work wid be
done. The light in the uplifted torch
of the tig.ire wi.l be e'eetric, and of
10,000 candle power. It will illuminate a
park, mid can be seen from the bav, while
Millionaire Sutro can sit at his parlor
windows in the evening and see hiw
great a public benefactor he is.
X A Test of Courtesy.
De Musset cordially detested dogs.
When a candidate for the Academy he
called upon a promiue it me n er. At
the gate of the < hat ill a dirty, ugly dog
received him most affectinnately and in
sisted on pieceding him into the drawing
room. De Musset cursing hi- friend's
predilection lor the brute. The acade
mician entiled ami they ad.ourned to
the dining room, the dog at their heels.
Seizing his opportunity, the dog placed
his muddy paw - upon th- -poiless cloth
and carried off a bonne bou he. “The
wretch wants shooting ” wa- De Mus
set’s muttered thought, but lie politely
eaitl :
“You nre fond of dogs, I -ee.'”
“Fond of dog'." n t rted th.- academi
cian. “I h lie them !"
“But this animal here?" <pi< ri-d Pt
Musset; “1 have only tolerated it 1 te
em i-e it was yours, sir."
“Mine!” exclaimed the poet; "the
thought that it was yours alone kept me
frvm killing ”
A London minister ixht-nlly stated that in
one street iu hi* locality there are eighteen
public-house* and one church.
SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.
The bacteria of water and icc have ‘
been found in hail by Prof. L. Maggi, |
an Italian physiologist. Such organisms
arc well nigh universal.
It is said that the Belgian glass work
ers are now preparing to make glass into
various shapes and patterns by running .
sheets of it, at just the right temperature
to work nicely, through steel rollers.
A new artificial cork has been made by !
I’otel.a German scientist, from a mixture
of glue, glycerine and tannin. It is [
clastic, impervious, strong and durable.
And very cheap. The mass is also appli
cable toother purposes.
Os the various geological collection
in the British Museum, the oldest is the
Sloane collection, which was :.c .uired
by purchase in 1753. The so sils were
then regarded ns mere curiosities, and '
the original manuscript catalogue, still > 1
preserved, contains many curious entries
to remind the reader of the rapid progre-s
of the science of geology during the re
cent years.
One of the latest attempts to harness
the forces of nature for the service of
man is the adaptation of a windmill for
the turning of a dynamo, the electricity
thus obtained being stored in suitable
batteries, anil afterward used in lighting
beacons for the benefit of the maritime
interests. There is a station of this kind
near the mouth of the Seine, and consid
erable success has been obtained.
The plan of utilizing coke dust by
making it into briquettes has been suc
cessfully adopted by a gas company at
Lyons, mixing each ton of line coke with
about two hundred pounds of cdhl-tar
pitch and then passing through a com
pressing machine. The total cost is $4
iier ton, and the product readily sells for
15.50 to ttl per ton. The expense for
the plant, with a capacity of sixty-five
tons daily, was only $5,900.
Forty-five years of observation have
shown that the fifty-three stars cata
logued by Bessel in the Pleiades nearly
all have a drift in space opposite to our
own. This drift is doubtless only ap
parent, being due to the motion of the
solar system. Six of the stars do not
partake of this backward movement on
account of their extreme remoteness,
while two appear to move more rapidly
than the others on account of their near
ness to us. The former are so distant
that the path, moderately estimated at
21,000,000,0(19 miles in length, traversed
by the sun during the forty five years
lincc Bessel's measurement, becomes too
imall to be detected from them.
The California Pioneer Society has a
lection of timber taken from the side of
the Powhatan, including a portion of the
ikin, which is four inches thick, and a
piece of the abutting knee, which is nine
inches thick. Transversely through the
whole a swordfish has dashed his sword,
nnd the portion broken off is still left
imbedded in the timber. The sword
pierced through fourteen inches of solid
oak, and the lish was going in the same
direction as the vessel, which was under
a good head of steam. An idea of the
strength which must have been exerted
can Be obtained from the fact that a
rifled six-pounder could not have done
more than pierce that thickness of wood.
From archieological evidence, an Eng
lish writer contends that the human
race is growing taller, the increase in
average stature appearing to be about an
inch and a quarter in each 1,000 years.
Measurements of old armor show a de
cided increase in the height of the Eng
lish aristocracy within .'>oo years. An
cient coflins found in Great Britain indi
cate that the Bomans could not have
greatly exceeded five feet five inches in
average stature. Twenty-five Egyptian
mummies gave an average of 01 inches
for males and 58 inches for females. The
inumy of Cleopatra measures about 54
inches, and the most ancient known
mummy of an Egyptian king is only 52
inches long.
Trades Unions in Chinn.
The trades unions arc generally com
posed of retail traders nnd artisans, and
are of a more modern date than the mer
chant guilds, few of them being a cen
tury old, says the St. Janus's Gazette.
With regard to mechanics the unions are
generally composed of masters and work
men, united as against society. In jome
trades where workmen are numerous
journeymen have their own combinations,
but generally, when they have occasion
to combine against employers (of which
instances are rare), they meet in some
temple, commence a strike, peacefully ac
complish their object and disband. Oc
casiomdly the unions enforce their de
crees in a terrible manner. The Gold
beaters I nion of Soochow—the Athens
of China—sometime ago wreaked a ter
rible vengeance on one of their craft.
Gold leaf was needed to an unusual
amount for the Em] cror. line of the
craft represented to the magistrate that if
he Were allowed to take a number of ap
prentices the work would be greatly ex
pedited, and having obtained permission
he proceeded to engage a great many ap
prentices, violating thereby a law of the
trade which disallowed an employer to
take more than one apprentice ata time.
His conduct infuriated the ciaft, and riie
word passed round: “Biting to death is
not a capital offence." One hundred and
twenty three of them rushed on tne mis
erable man. each taking a bite. Death
Boon relieved the victim of the fiendish
rancor. To make sure that none shirked
duty on that occasion, no one was al
lowed to quit the shop whose bloody
lips and gums did not attest to his
fidelity. The murderer who took the
first bite was discovered and beheaded.
A Object Lesson in Economy.
We now sport a nice milch cow. How
did wr get her? Paid for her, the
whole amount being ten cents per day,
saved sinch March (>, ISSti. On that day
i friend of ours insisted on treating us ■
to a smoke, as it was our birthday, but
we refused the kindness, informing him
courteously that we never smoked a cigar,
to which he replied that he averaged
from one to three per day. at a cost of five
cents to twenty cents each day. and that
he never missed the small change. We
told bint from that day on we would lay
away ten cents per day as long .as >ve
were able to do so. and see how much it
would amount to etch year. We have ■
kept it up to date, nnd as a consequence
we have a tine Durham eow and calf
bought with four hundred ten-cent '
pieces.—(Tr.ttM liuj'e, |

DODGE’S 0. C. C. C.
Certain Chicken (Mera Cure.
Eight yearn of careful experiment and pains*
taking research have resulted in the discovery
of an infallible specific for the cure and pre
vention of that most fatal and dreaded enemy
of tho feathered tribo—Cholera. After the
fullest and fairest tests possible, in which every
claim for the remedy was fullv
the remedy was placed upon the market, and
everywhere a single trial has been aU that wag
required to prove it a complete success. Tho
directions for its use are plain and simple, and
the cost of the remedy fig small that the saving
of a single fowl will repay the expense. Its
effect is almost magical. If the remedy is
given as directed, the course of the disease is
stopped at once. Given occasionally as a pre
ventive, there need be no fear of Cholera,
which annually kills more fowls than all other
diseases combined. It is true to name, a Cer
tain Cure for Chicken Cholera. No poultry
raiser or farmer can afford to be without it. It
wilLdo all that is claimed for it. Read the fol
lowing testimonial :
STATE O? GEORGIA,
Depabtment of Agricui.ture,
Atlanta, Ga., March 19, 1887
To the Public : The high character of the
testimonials produced by Mr. Dodge, together
with his well known reputation for truth and
veracitv, afford convincing evidence of the
high value of the Chicken Cholera Cure he is
now offering upon the market. If I were en
gaged in the business, I would procure a bot
tle of his medicine, little doubting the success
that would attend its administration.
Yours truly,
J. T. HENDERSON,
