$ngraving Copper Rollers.-Copper
prlnting-rollere are usually engraved
1 i n two ways, one of which is the iml
pression of the pattern by means of
a steel die, a process which sometimes,
as in the case of heavy furniture pat
terns, is supplemen ted by direct engrav
ing with a graving tool by hand. The
other plan is etching, the substance of
the copper being eaten away by the ap
plication of acids. This process gives
nice shading, and when Judieiously ein
ployed is of touch use. Generally this
method consists in covering the roller
with a mastic or varnish, which protects
the places which are not to be acted up
on, and which leaves the pattern to be
engraved open. The roller thus pre
pared is then plunged into at bath of' ui
ttrie noid of 15 dog. or stronger. Setme
times a little hydro-chloric acid Is add
ad to favor the dissolving action of the
acid. The operation generally takes
no more than five or ten inlutes. This
presess has grave inconveniences, es
pecially in places where there is not a
luflcently strong ventilation to carry
oih at once the fumes which are formed
In large quanities. This free acid is
not only dangerous for the workpeople,
but, spreading in the room, soon affects
the machines. There 18 also this draw.
back, that the acid acts underneath the
varnish, resulting in unclean edges of
the engraving. A Gerinan chemist has
for some time employed chronic acid It,
place of nitric acid, and from all ac
counts with very satisfactory results,
especially in danp localities. The at
tack of this acid upon the umetal is a lit
tle slower, but theengraving is sharper
and cleaner. The solution is the 10l
lowing:-5 oz. of conmmercial bichro
mate of potash dissolved In 2Ooz. of hot
water, alter which 12 oz of susphuric
acid of 06 deg. are carefully added, and
the whole well mixed. This bath gets
brown from usage; if after a low days'
is becomes mauch so it must be thrown
away. It is necessary In order to ob;
tain good results, to heat slightly the
bath, which is done by placing the
trough containing it into a bath of tep
IS water. The cost of working with
chromnc acid thus obtained Is said to
be cheaper than wit.h nitric, and alto
gether it appears to have many features
to recomend it to calico printers.
At the last meeting of the French
Academy of tclence M. L. Brault read
a memoir on two phases of the annual
circulation of the air. The study of
barometric pressure over the entire
globe had led to two importaut results;
1. In sumner the lowest pressures on
lie continents are in the northern heitm
sphere, and the highest continental
ressures in the soutliera hemisphere:
Fn winter, on the contrary, the lowest
continental pressures are in the south
hemisphere, and the highest in the
northern. Thus summer exists in the
North when the greut ninimutn pres
sures of Central Asia and of North
America, and the taxinumn pressures
of South America, Australian and
Southern Africa are established. 2. On
the whole surface of the earth the low
est continent.al pressures of the sntinier
mnonths become in witer the highest,
and. reciprocally. the highest becomes
the lowest. Between the two seasons
the pressure is greatest in the North
Atlautie and Sonith Pacific Oceans.
A remarkable specimen of siliside of
Iron has been exhibited to t.he French
Academy of Science. It was a piece of
piig metal of about three kitogramus
weigh t, and of a brilliant surface wih ich
agents. T.1he color of the mass was
nearly the same as that of p)latiinutm,t

FARM MAcnINEnY.-AImerican man -
facturers of farm tools shape them in
such a way as to do the work with the
least physical labor. The E nglish manu
ufacturer on the other hand. has a
pride in making every thing substantial,
heavy fand solid without any regard to
the weight or strength needed. Why,
there is more wood and iron in an En
glish farm-cart than would matke two
American carts, and yet with their
superb roads they load theirs no heavier
than we do ours. An English manure
fork is of the same size and pattern it
was half a century ago-at square,
rough tine shouldered near the point
calling for the greatest amnount of force
in loading or unloacding. The American
lori is a round polished tine, tapering
gradually from the point to the baee,
and calling for the least power. The
weight of an English plow Is at least
three times that of ours and its length
about twice, and yet it takes neither
wider nor deeper furrow-slices than
our best plows. In fact, one pair of
horses attached to one of our best pat
tern plows will do from at third to a hall
more work in the same number of honrs
than an English f irtmer wIthI his long,
un wieliy pattern that is out of all pro.
ortiuon, t>ot,h in length and weight, to
the work it is intended for. Tihe same
is true of the English hiurrows, cultiva
tors and all of the implements I ouil
Ili common use for turning or eultiva
tiug the soil. The ordinary wooden
hand-rake is at clumusy, heavy thing,
having from a third to it half more wood
thai Is actually necesary. It: many
instanices, in going through Enigland,
in many of the agricultu al districts
which I visited, atrmers cultivating
from forty to a lundlred acres of land
still continue to cut their grain crops
with the reading hooks and cradle.
The English cradole has it scythe blade
of ordinary size and length, with two
short wooden tingers. Tihe man eut
ting with this cradle throws the cut
graiin arouud agalist the uncut stantd
lig grain. Anotber man follows the
eratlier, eqlpuippoc wi it it piece of stick
about thre feet In lengthi wtth tll iron
hook on the end of it, and gathers the
eut grain into sheafs and places them
on the stubble before the next swath can
be cut. The Atmerican, or wlhatis con
mnaly callea the " Yankee," cradle has
I wide scythe-blade situ liar in size and
length to the English, but instead of
two shor t flhngerw It has four long ones,
and the operator cuts lie grain, which
'alls on tihe tingers and which is thrown
into it sheaf on the stubble entirely out
of' t,ie way of the next eradler who fl
lows, leaving the cut grain ready to be
bound, one man with uis doing tbe.work
of two in Englsani. In talking oi the
subject with an inteligent fa nmer in
l0saex county, EIngland, I had difllculty
Iin convincing him that the long fingers
of the ". Yankee" cradle would not or
could not get tungled tip in limo straw,
nor could I induce Ihimn to send and get
an Americatn cradle, alt,hough he was

labor when compared Withl the low

HUMOROUS.
WATr'Y Mi#disoN.--A 8cotoh clergy
tt an by the name of Watt;y Morrison
was a man of most irrepressible humor.
On one occanion a yo mg ofilcer scofted
at the idea that it required s) much
time and study to write a sermon as
ministers pretend, alid ofered a bet
that he would preach a an hotr oti any
passage in the Old Testament without
the slightest preparation. Mr. Morris
oi took the but, and he gave for a text,
''And the ass opened his motth and
he spake." The parson won the wager,
the officer being rather disinclined to
employ his eloquence upon that text.
On another occasfon Mr. Morrison
entreated an officer to pardon a poor
soldier for some ofirone he had con
mitted. The .oflicer agreed to do so if
he would in turn grant him the first
favor ha would ask.
Mr. Morrison agreed to this. In a
day or two the oflicer demanded that
the ceremony of baptism should be per
formed on a puppy. The clergyman
agreed to it; and a party of maany gen
tlemen asseubled to witness the novel
baptism.
Mr. Morrison desired the officer to
hold up the puppy, as was customary
in tie baptisut of children, and said:
"As I am a minister of the Church
of Scotland, I must proceed according
to the cereionies of the Church."
"Certainly," said the Mayor ; "[ ex
pect all the ceremoty."
"Well, then, Major, I begin by the
usual question. 'You acknowledge
3011 rselt the father of this puppy ?' "
A roar of laughter burst irom the
crowd; the oflicer throw lie candidate
for baptism away, and. thus the witty
ninister turned the lihgh against the
iniidel, who intended to deride the sa
cred ordinance.

- Life lU China.
Chinese houses Are usually built o
brick, one story high, and covered wit
tiles and earth. They are built n
higher for fear of diturblng the gooi
and evil spirits, and are covered witl
earth because earth is pletttifui ant
timber is scarce. The houses are di.
vided into two rooms, one for the males
the other for the femalet. Each doei
his or her ow4n cooking. Ilusband aiu
wife never eat together, nor are they
ever seen together onthe street. Chin
ese iusbands are extremely jealous oj
their wives, and are afraid of evil spir.
its; and in order to keep one In and
the other out, their dwellings are sur.
rounded by'a high wall. Thie turni
ture of a Chinese dwelling consists o
a small table about three feet square,
chairs similar to a b'tr-room chair, and
the cong (bed) is built of brick soine
thing like an old-fashioned oven and
has a ilue -lor the smoke to pass off.
When a Chinamtran wihes to retire, lie
builds a fire under his bed, -warms It
up good, arranges sheep skin and blait
kets, crawls in and Is happy. Their
dishes are not very extensive, the
kwaetrzi (cirop-sticks) beiig most im
portant, as they are used for convey
ing all manner of food to the mouth.
Tie only currency of the country Is
called cash. It is small copper pieces
with at squiare hole in the centre. Six
huidred o theim make one dollar. Sil
ver circulates through the Empire, but
it goes by weight altogether. There
are banks in the large towns that issue
their notes, but their notes are not
legal-tender cash for the payment of
debts, and only pass in the towis where
Issued. No banks fall In China. In
case a bank should fail the banker
would be beheaded. Any person who
receive, money or other property from
his c,istomers for safe keeping must re
turn the saue when called upon to do
so, or he held as guilty of a high crime,
the punishment for which is death.
After the debts are paid, all else that
lie has goes to the Government. In case
he has hidden the propet ty so it cannot
be found, the property of his relativos
first in line Is taken till the depositor is
made good, Bankers are honest in
CLI na. Chinese physicians know little
or nothilug abo it the human system,
never go to see a patient but once, and
insist that the same medicine will not
do at all for a man and a woman, though
their complaint be the same. The
beasts of burden are cows, donkeys,
horses, mules, and catnels, and they
frequently get thorn strangely mixed.
A great many camels are used for the
purpose of carrying tea to Russian
.lberia. The principal temples, from
which they try to exclude foreigners.
ire as follows: "The Temple of
Heaven," the walls of which are two
n1mies square. The temple itself covers
about one-fourth of 4n acre; and is
built In the form of a doi'. Here the
Emperor is supposed to attend 'every
three months to offer sacrifice, which
consists of from six to eight hogs, four
or five sheep, and two or three oxen.
A t the "Lanma Temnpl." ia' an un age of
Buddha 70 feet high, made in the pro
[portions of a man. From 2,000 to 8,000
priests oficiate at this temple. Our
misstonaries saw 1,500 at one timie
kneelIng on mats and ehanting Buddha
praise. At the "Tucmple of the Great
hell" is the largest hanging bell ini the
world, being thirteen feet ini diameter
and fiftden teet high. There are about
75,000 difl'e rent characters east on the
bell. The bell is rung when they want
rain, and no other time.

however, f-ras so prominent a featire as to
render it necessary to be treat ed as an original
disease. int.onsu nuental excitement continued
up to the poriod of going to rest, sedentary
1i bits, the habitual use of cotTeo, also weakness
of the digestive organs, are frequsent, causes of
this t outle. The Ies and siinle t, remedy Is

nights shontd mai,ke it a duty to keep a bottle of
I his King of i elnedies always in the house, and
to take at good . oso of it ju,4 before retiring for
the night. It will be sure to prove Natuso's
sweet rest orer, andi to liy to the patient that

nothing will tt lound sater or better than a few
