Toronto, Sept 15th.—An Ita-
lian named Pettri Warmanti, who
keeps a cigar store on Queen St
et, had a confidence game to the
xtent of x'900 played on him a
day or two ago by a fellow coun-
tryman. The stranger called on
him and had a meal with him,
then asked that some cash might'
be carefully put away in Wand -
anti's place. Warmanti consent-
ed, and put the heavily loaded
valise in his trunk, together with
about $900 of his own money in
notes and gold. He foolishly
surrended the key of the trank to
the stranger, and after waiting a
day or twofor his return broke
open the trunk and inspected the
valise, which contained a $1 bill
and two heavy pieces of iron.
Warm,anti's $900, had gone of

The difficulty of applying concrete under
water can be overcome by filling a wooden
pipe with the substance and lowering it, end
first, over the spot where it is to be deposit-
ed. By lifting the pipe from the bottom
the concrete will spread out without mixing
with the water. The precaution should be
taken to have the pipe long enough to ex-
tend four or five feet above water when
resting on the bottom, filling as required so
as to retain the proper " head."
The amount of phosphorus consumed per
annum is about 2,000 tons, and ie chiefly
used in match making. Hitherto chemicals
were used in its manufa8ture, but by a re-
cent improvement the taw material and
coke are placed in a specially -prepared fur-
nace and electric heat is applied. The va-
por arising is condensed, and marketable
phosphorus is produced.
What seems to be an infallible remedy for
the poison of snake bites is a solution of
nitrate of strychnine in 240 parts of water,
to which a little glycerine is added. This is
used hypodermically in doses of 20 minims,
at intervals -of 1,0 to 20 minutes, depending
upon the condition of the patient. In 100
cases thus treated only one failure has occurr-
ed.
Plans proposed for irrigation both in up-
per and lower Egypt during the peroid of
low Nile include the building of a high bar-
rage across the river at the first cataract.
Great opposition has been excited against
this proposittop as it involves the submer-
sion of the beautiful island of Philoe and its
magnificent monuments for several months
each year.
Shells for firing high explosives have been
patented abroad, in which a receptacle is
made containing compressed air. By suit-
able appliances this air is released suddenly,
thus furnishing the propelling power. Great
range, no fouling of the gun, scarcely any
noise, and no smoke are thus obtained, com-
bined with great rapidity of fire.
Chalk, manganese and graphite have
been found in Coffee county, Tenn. The
chalk is equal to white crayon for writing
on a blackboard, and the black graphite
writes on a paper equal to a soft black lead
pencil. The other mineral is a hard black
substance, much resembling in weight, col-
or and pores, black manganese.
The addition of aluminium to n,olton steel
before pouring an ingot has been found
to render the metal perfect sound when
east. The action seems to be entirely chem-
ical, and is about 20 times more powerful
than that of silicon. The amount used is
from four to eight ounces a ton, and when
used manganese can be dispensed with.
By a novel device heavy guns can now be
aimed and fired with the greatest accuracy,
without exposing the, gunners and without
their even seeing the object to be fired at.
The principle used is that of so training the
gun as to cause the object to be fired at to
be reflected upon a screen at the rear of the
gun.
Mr. F rederick Tudor, of Boston, was the
first to export ice from this country to foreign
parts, and has made a fortune in the ice
trade. But 50 years ago no ice was export-
ed to England, and now the local ice trade
in foreign places (making ice by machinery)
has rendered shipments of natural ice un-
profitable.
The tunnel that will connect Butler Val-
ley, Penn., with the bottom of the mam-
moth Ebervale vein will be one of the great-
est engineering feats of the century. It will
open an almost inexhaustible supply of coal,
and will serve as a drain for all the collier-
ies in that vicinity.
According to Herr Japing, the hourly rate
of water falling over the Niagara Falls is
100,000,000 tons, representing 16,000,000
horsepower, and the total daily production
of coal in the world would just about suffice
to pump the water back again.
Guttapercha for electrical work is grow-

the pleasant "young man, "but it won't be

" Sing Sing 1" replied the gruff passenger.

The gruff passenger, from his manner, ap-
parently thought this revelation would

when the solemn passenger grabbed the
pleasant young man by the hand.
" My poor young friend 1" he exclaimed.
" Another martyr to righteousness and
faithfulness to the law 1 May the spirit of

When the train stopped and the gruff
man and the pleasant passenger got up to
leave the car the solemn man pressed a card
in the young man's hand. The gruff pas-
senger took it and read it. This was its
inscription :
Crows have done much damage to the
crops in Marigny--Champigny, France. It
le estimated that they eat from forty to sixty
per cent. of the seeds 'WWII, besides great
quantities of young plants just coming up.
In winter they go for the corn stalks and do

A good qualityof cotton is being grown
in the Valley oftheJordan, and Palestine

be devoted to cotton where in olden times
it'wal successfully produced.
The chief industry of the Amazon Valley,
one of the richest and largest in the world,
being about 2,000 miles long, is rubber -
gathering. This industry, which is quite
remunerative, keeps the greater part of the
native population at the margins and in the
swamps, tapping the trees, where malaria
and fever sweep them off. But the work is
said to pay immensely for the labor and
risk.
The plan of the Fresh Food and Frozen
Storage Co., which does an immense busi.
nese in Melbourne, Australia, .now is to
establish creameries in all the good dairying
districts in the country. The share-ho'l&ers
are expected to take up so many shares, and
supply the milk from 250 cows, or more if
they can, all the year round. The milk is
to be treated at the creameries, and the
cream is to be sent on to Melhourne for con-
version into butter.
Waste sawdust and shavings are being

AN EYE TO THE FUTURE -
A Nervous Passenger Sold Out His Stook
in Case of Accident.
The roads were uneven and there were
numerous sharp curves, and as the train
was running at a high rate_ of speed it was
anything but comfortage for the. paeeep
gers, says the Chicago Tribune. Sometimes
it actually seemed as though all the wheels
on one side of the Pullman were off the rail
at once. This didn't serve to put any of the
passengers at ease, but it seemed to have a
.partislilarlLy bad erect on a little old fellow
near the nhddle of tike car. He grew more
and more nervous within ery jerk of the car,
and finally called the porter to him. `r
" How soon will we reach a place where I
can send a despatch ?" he asked.
"'Bout ten minutes, seh," was the re-
ply.
�' All . right. Bring me a telegraph
blank."
It was brought and he hastily scribbled
the following message to a New York
broker.
" Sell all my stock X. and Z. road at
once and at any price you can get."
" You don cern to have much confi-
dence in the road," said the man in the next
cat, -who had read the despatch over the
little man's shouldtr.
" I haven't," was the' terse reply.
" You don't think it has much of a fu-
ture, apparently ?"
" Future be hanged 1" returned the little
man. " I was thinking of the present and
myfamily."
"
Your family 1" exclaimed the stranger.
" What has your family got to do with
it ?"
" Everything, my friend, everything,"
explained the little man, " and if you were
anything of a financier you'd see it. I've
got to ride 200 miles on this road yet, and
how would it look for my family to sue the
road for damages that if secured would
practically come out of my estate ? No, sir.
I'll allow this despatch twenty minutes tc
reach New York, and I'll allow the broker
twenty%ive minutes to dispose of the stock.
1f this'"'jj,alamed car keeps the rails for forty-
five minutes more some one else will be
stuck for damages if I climb the golden
stairs. And if she holds the rails for the
whole 200 miles I can buy the stock back if
I want it and go back by another road."

Artesian well boring is a new industry in
the Republic of Nicaragua. The usefulness
of these wells cannot be calculated. Every
year thousands of cattle die for want of
wat Agriculturists in general, and
coffee -planters especially, suffer much for
this necessary. Only very - few coffee
planters have water sufficient to wash their
berries, and washed coffee brings always
from three to four cents more in the market
than unwashed.
It is stated that Dr. Lehner, of Augsburg,
Germany has solved the problem of manu-
facturing artificial silk. The fabric is said
to be superior in luster to natural silk, and
cannot be distinguished from it; and that a
limited company is to be constituted to work
the invention. If this is true, and is found
to be thoroughly practicable after a fair
trial, it will revolutianize the whole industry
of producing and manufacturing raw silk.
The sugar plantations existing in th e
agricultural towns of Santiago, Maraflores,
Todos Santos, San Jose and others, have for
years been unprofitable to the owners on ac-
count of the paucity of the Local demand.
The lands cultivated for this purpose are ex-
tremely porductive, and the planters are
now buoyant with fovea,- owing to the fact
that under the new American tariff they
will readily find the United States a reliable
market for their sugar.

Mary Anne of St. Lambert's.
It has now been some ten years since
Mary Anne of St. Lambert's startled the
butter -making world with her wonderful
yield of thirty-six ponnds twelve , and a
quarter ounces in a week. Mr. Valancey E.
Fuller, her owner, and also the possessor of
many members of the family, went to work
to test all in his possession, and ahnost if
not quite without aft exception they came
up to, or surpassed the fourteen pound
limit, making the grandest array of tested
cows in one family that the Jersey world had
then seen, and so far as we know it still
leads the list. During all these years
of breeding and buying, - public and
private testing in this country and
in England, nothing has been developed in
the Jersey field greater than was accomplish-
ed by Mr. Fuller, taking his work as a
whole. Nor has any family of Jerseys in
toll this time been able to supersede the St.
Lamberts in popularity. With the present
introduction sad close work of testing ma-
chines, the owtsera of candidates for butter.
making honors have their work greatly
simplified, so that they can determine the
value of young oews with' ease %and preci-
sion, thts encouraging them to test all the
offering and, by tabulating results, deter-
mine just what' share is doe to the bull. --

Dried apple pies must be a drug up in the

The poorest is dried apple pies.
