C.I Huns Chang, tlio rieeroy of China, is r'f-orUI us huving lately niuilo the uiisertion thut within tha next half century China would Ikj covered with a network of railways; 1I1 it it would have rolling mills and furnaces, with iuuiifiiso mineral rt-.-wiurecs nnd uiilint ite.l cbeaji labor to back them, and that China may do tlto manufacturing uf tho worl.L While China is proverbially slow in adopting lho methods of tlie outside barbarians, u striking chiuio has liecn taking place there lit.-ly; and t'lay China lias an excellent Iloi-t of ironclads of tho most modern t-pe, is (inning and di.scipliuinK its std.licrs after KiiiN.-aii iii.h1.-1s, iias telegraph lines and at least one railway in sui-c.-s.-ful opTation, and is pushing forward in a phenoinenally rapid way, for coiis,r vative China, toward tho acipiisitiou of tho majority of tho arts and miinufact urea tlnt but iately. marked tho dill'erepoo letweeii it and other more civilized (uii ions. Tlio industrial momentum of a nation of 4Ul,K)0,0(KJ inhabitants, covering one-tenth of the inhabitablo globe, if onco fairly startec), is well worth consideration. baron Iticli thofen, in d.'scribing tho northwest of China, say that theShunsi district is one of the most remarkable coal and iron regions in tho world, nnd lie estimates that at tho present rate of consumption the coal of this district would supply the world for thousands of years to ooiuo. It is claimed by some writers that Shausi, when more thoroughly explored, will bear away the palm from I'eiinsylvania, whoso 20,(W0 sipuire miles of coal land Lave been heretofore considered as the greatest single deposit in the world. Ilichthofen says further that this coal can be very easily and cheaply extracted on a largo scale, and that iron oroof excellent n-.iality in found u quan tities in tho iun.ie.lia to vicinity of tuo'coal !!) Is. Tlu this as it may, mineral wealth is abund ant, and when it comes to n question of labor the Chinese can furnish this to an almost jinv ith-ss degree, and recruit it front ft chus that is naturally patient, skillful and content with small gains. W'o do not agree with the vice roy in his prophecy that all he hopes for may be accomplished in fifty years. China is loo deeply settled in its rut for that, and other nations, with the many advantages they al ready possess, will be moving, too, at in always accelerating rate; -xif CdYiauiil may some time' yo very ncuvo competitor; in' liu u,uufn-turing vvwl'h Engineering When lingers Kept Open House.

Dr. Howard received from Professor D. M. Vadif a siiiull box containing tLe rattles of a new kind of rattlesnake, which tho professor wrote were very nui:..-oiis all along the course of Dry creek. I'ulike other rattle snakes, they ore usually found in trees, are darker colored than tho native rattlers, and their bite even moro fatal than tho asp of India. This is news, indeed. Tho doctor says ho didn't mind, even when a boy, going out coon hunting in tho early summer morn ing and losing a dog or two from tho bite of tho good, old fashioned, diamond back rat tlesnake of ante-bellum days. It didn't even make him feel the least bit nervous to find himself in the middle of a small brier patch with half a dozen huge monsters, iic-aring each fifteen or twenty rattles, all hissing ami singing and gliding about in opjiosito direc tions. And even now, when ho goes fishing and a large water moccasin Is in sight, ho amuses himself by standing 011 the snake's tail just to see him Fquirm and rm':-r nb"nt. rp.-ii his white i::.n..ii a. id vainly try to climb up his leg, or if, )erchatico, ho finds 0110 in a small tree or bush, as he sometimes does, ho quietly steals under, shakes him out, just to have him clamber about his head and shoul ders like tho cobra on tho snake tamer in the side show on circus days. IJut to bo pecked at by a fiery eyed, red rongued, veneinous death bug in every bush, as ho trolls and trolls for pike in Dry creek, lias just tho least tendency to prevent his !ajsing into that quiet state of dreamy, desultory desuetude, which, in all climes ami at all times, is half the charm of those who find pleasure in handling the 1 eel and rod over tho winding course of cool streams in shady woods.

Nol.ly Know Wliero They All fin To, but 'I lilt Tt II Where Tliey Count From. The manufacture of a pin was u tedious process when entirely mudo by hnnd; no less ! than twelve or fourteen processes bad it to pass tlii-ou ;li 1-foro it was compleNsl; tho j wonderful machinery now in uso has much fcimpliii.-d matters. First of ail tho w ire must bo prepar.-d. It is placed in a coil 011a revolving block and drawn through holes pierced in a steel plato until it is of tho size required for tho particular pin to be made. It is then titkcii to tho pin making room, where vvu find rows of machines moved by steam piw er and producing a constant st ream of pins at the rato of ' to 'J();l K-r minute, which are removed from the receptacles into which they fall by the workman and his at tendants, w ho look after tlio projxT working of tho machines. If wo st:;i!l in front of a machine we see a coil of bra.s w .'re 011 a revolving ilruin. Tito end of tho wire passes through u hole and then between iron i-gs, which straighten tho wire and las-ji it i7i its place as it is drawn i:,t ? V 1.: ':- lii li-e niacin. io v.e ..-o ii j..ir of sliding pincers take hold of tho wire, carry it for ward a short distance nnd put tlio end through a holo in a small iron plate. Watch c ir. fully and we see a pretty little hammer strike tho end as wn as it appears 0:1 tlio other side of tho iron plate. Ty successive blows of this hammer the head is made. This done, down fulls a sharp i oiacle and cuts tho wire into the length re quired for the pin (tho machine c.ni be ad justed t-.i cut tho pins of any length d,iiv.l). Thrs process of drawing in, heading and cutting off goes 011 continuously, and the pins are thus carried on to too pointing part of tho machine. Tho p-oiiitles.-, plu now falls into a slanting groove just w ide enough for it, but too nar row to let tho head through. Thus we see a row of pins hanging by their heads nearly the whole length of the machine. Ik-neat h is a revolving cylindrical file. Tho surface of the cylinder rei'i-r. , .,1 series of graduated' files, o;i y. as they are worked bne!--Vfiid ami rorward, the pins tire point..;.

They r.ro now ut into barrels, w hich aro turned round and round, and by this means thoroughly scoured and cleaned, and are uv.,y. ready to Ite "silvered:" They in-., (..v- yui into kettles heated bv V,v" ud spread about as evenly n jbto. A po'.V'!..-, of line tin is then spread over them and a certain irtion of ucid nld;-d. In this t! icy aro boiled for about fom I.ouis. When taken out they are JoyiiU to be cov creil with a thin c-lhig of tin, which gives them the, bright and lively apiearance which all pins M)ssess. The pins are then dried bribing thrown into sawdust, and rwybod by being j.ut Into barrels revolved i-y maehluer-. Thenco they are placed into a flat tra', and the work men, by a peculiar tossing motion, which re quires much skill, separate all tho dust from the pins, which are now clean, bright an.'i ready 1 or use. p There is a very inguidons muchuie wed f.. r.

Thus row by row the whole sheet is filled. London Queen. The German Soldier.
