It is probable that the driver will “‘tap” | the box. Through a window he will throw the mail inside to the sorter, who will receive it on the fly and go to work | upon it. Meanwhile the car has started on a keen run toward the next letter-box. Here it gathers up more mail and tosses it inside to the sorter, and so on to all the boxes on the route. The sorter meanwhile is working as fast as he can, and so much must be said for bis aguity in handling Sorting Letters in the New Horseless Delivery Wagon. atter that by the time the next box hed he has sorted the mail from the ox.

The new instrument is com- posed of a long. curved blade, to which a | very much shorter blade is fastened in iy (M, Cutting Up a Chicken. scissors fashion. ‘This will permit the host to carve the chicken properly and to sever the joints and clip thin bones with | the greatest ease and absolute absence of difficulty.—Philadelphia Record. Perpetual Motion. A James County boy is said to bave dis- covered the long-sought-for ‘‘perpetual motion.” The latest claimant for this honor is Bert Howell, aged 20 years, who lives on bis father’s farm in James County, about twenty miles from Chattanooga. He has, by a combination of cogs, wheels, springs, ete., produced a machine which of its own volition, without assistance, has been run- ning for several weeks. When Howell returns from his plow at the end of each day he finds his little ma- chine running as thougnh for dear life. When he arises from his bed in the morn- ing that little mystery is found fo be still at its incessant work, and it keeps up its movements from day to day as though it were trying to annihilate time. Young Howell thinks he has produced perpetual motion, and is so jealous of his secret that he has his machine nailed up securely in a box, and the only part visible is a shaft, to which a flywheel is attached. The wheel never stops in its endless whirl. Attachments have been made to several the different destinations. | coffee-mills of neighboring farmers, and { the work of grinding goes rapidly on. | Howell is a poor hoy, baving no money | with which to have his devise patented, | and a neighbor has furnished the neces- | sary funds for the purpose. A duplicate is now at Washington in the Patent Office. He has been offered sums of $5 and $10 to open the box and let others see his machine, but refuses until his patent is rocured or other papers received protect- ing his rights.—Chattanooga News. | Effect of Plants in Sleeping-Rooms. The question as to the effect of plants in | sleeping apartments on the health of the occupants would seem to have been satis- factorily determined by recent tests at a | London conservatory. " In the latter, con- taining some 6000 plants, in the middle of the day oxygen had so far increased on the carbon dioxide thatout of 10,000 parts chemical examination proved only 1.40 to be carbon dioxide, whereasthe normal pro- portion of the purest air isabout four parts in 10,000. After being shut up some twelve hours the air in the greenhouses at noon thus proved to be surcharged with oxygen. The same air was analyzed just before sunrise and the earbonic dioxide had so far gained on the oxygen that the proportion of it was almost exactly four | ver 10,000. Taking, therefore, the twenty- four hours round, the day is found just about to balance the nignt. To Have the Right of Way. More than 100 Chicago physicians have obtained permits under an ordinance re- cently passed by the Council giving them the right of way in the streets. The new departure seems to be popular with the doctors, and every man who called and obtained a permit and paid 50 cents for a little badge with a red cross upon it ex- pressed himself as pleased with the plan. The ordicance is known as the ambu- | lance ordinance. It contains a provision that every physician having a permit and | displaying a badge to be procured from the | City Clerk shall have the right of way for | himself and his vehicle in the streets as against all processions, persons, vehicles or animals when answering professional calls. City Clerk Van Cleave has pre- ared a neat badge with a red cross upon it, with the words: “Physician, Chicago,” and the number of the permit. | A Marine Freak. Secretary Herbert has directed the test at the New York Navy-yard of a machine designed to send a vessel through the water without propellers. It will be fitted in a 28-foot boat, that being the choice of | the inventor, though the department de- sired to use a 104-100t boat now at the vard. By burning oil a gas is generated, | which is allowed to enter & cylinder. There it 1s ignited by means of a spark. The force of repeated explosions drives the piston up and down. Asa result of the explosion a jet of air is blown out of a | tube in the stern of the vessel and the re- sistance of the water causes the boat to forge ahead. The engineering experts say that the invention, which has been tried privately, has not given very good resclts, and they do not believe it will be useful for naval purposes. The inventor claims it will be of service in torpedo- hoats and will drive them with phenome- nal speed. What Cathode Means. Let us first see what we mean by the term cathode. If we should break the tiny filament of an Edison incandescent lamp at the middle of the glowing loop the light would go out. If, now, we con- nect the two ends of the broken filament to the poles of a battery of a great many thousand voitaic cells, such as are com- monly used to ring house-bells, we should be able to light the lamp again, not by in- candescence, but by a feeble glow which ervades the whole bulb. The ends of the roken filament would glow—and the glow at _one end of the filament would be different in appearance from that of the other. The broken filament, by means of which the electrical energy enters the bulb, is called the anode, and the filament by means of which, in or- dinary language, it leaves the bulb, is called the cathode. Now the great pe- culiarity of the cathode rays is this—they seem to be independent of the position of the anode, and they stream out from the cathode like the beam of a searchlight, striking the walls'of the inclosing vessel.— | Professor John Trowbridge in the April { Scribner’s.

JoHN KENDRICK BANGS, in Harper's Weekly, To Foil the Burglar. The invention of useful trifles has often been the foundation of large fortunes, and, to judge by its instantaneous success, the novelty described here will hanasomely | pay its_ originator. Small enough to be carried in the vest pocket, this little appliance will effectually pre- vent the picking of the lock by a {urglnr while 1t is slipped over the key on the inside of the door, and at the same time eeping through the keyhole becomes an impossibility. These two qualities alone nsure fireaz popularity to the little inven- tion, which is guite simple and cheap.

Woen to be used it is ‘The Burglar Foiled. simply slipped over the key, which is al- lowed to remain upon the inside of the door, and the little lid turned around so as to hold the disk to the key. Since the key is hela in_position a burglar cannot possibly throw it into the room; he will simply fruitlessly attempt to revolve the key from the outside without the possibil- ity of inserting a skeleton key of his own. Grant’s Troublesome Soldier. General Grant used to tell a story of a soldier in a certain regiment during the war who was continually bothering him I by asking fayors. Grant one day said to him: “Look here; I believe you are the most troublesome man in the Union army.” X The man quickly replied: *‘Why, that's funny, sir.” “Funny? How do you make it out furny?”’ “Because it's just what the enemy says about you.”—Harper’'s Round Table. To the Pole by Balloon. Herr 8. A. Andree, who proposes to start in a balloon from Spitzbergen in June or July next for the north pole, has submit- ted to the Geographical Society of Stock- holm drawings of his balloon and of the bouse which is to be built in order to pro- tect it from the wind while it is being filled with gas. The upper part of the balloon is covered by a cap of oilcloth, In the cen- ter there is a wooden point, holding the stron: iron ring to which the ropes of tue network are fastened, while a little below the middle oi the balloon is a large belt, which is intended to give strength against the pressure of the wind. When the lower‘!mrt becomes empty of gas the wind produces a hollow in the balloon, having the same effect as a sail. The | diameter of the balloon is 21}4 yards, the | volume nearly 5000 cubic yards. It has| The House in Which the Balloon Will Be Filled With Gas. been possible to make the balloon smaller | than was at first intended on account of | the excellence of the material obtainable. The wicker ba:ket is one story high, round and roofed, and contains sleeping accom- modations for two persons, the third voyager being always on the watch. The mattresses are intended to serve as buoys in the event of 1he expedition being sub- merged. Within the net in the mainsail and outside there are other sails stretched on bamboo poles, the whole sail area being ninety-four square yards, or a }unrler of the cross-section of the balloon. The sail is attached by three straps to the How the Balloon Will Be Released From | Its House. | strong iron ring and stoops forward so that the wind tends to lift the balloon. The | fixing points of the drag-ropes are mov- | able, and thereby the direction of the | balloon can rapidly be changed. It is in- tended to maintain if possible a height of from 196 to 218 yards. Each of the three | drag-ropes has a_length of 436 yards, and at the distance of each 100 meters there are weak points, at which they may be torn if the balloon should catch anywhere. These weak points are protected by metal rings which can easily be seen from the X T £ 3 é{ N s ;.-. .?u £ [N \‘l, &Y The Balloon. balloon. It will only be necessary to ob- serve how much time elapses while two of these metal rings pass the same spotin order to learn the speed at which the bal- loon is traveling. At the top is the ‘‘cave’ or storeroom for the provisions. The bal- loon carries 4400 Iounds of ballast, pro- visions for four and a half months, a boat, clothes, guns, and ammunition for 1500 shots. Fgrom Spitzbergen to Bering Sound the passage could be made in six days, but thirty days will be allowed. The material of which the balloon is made is so_excellent that the balloon should be able to float for a period of 900 days. Herr Andree’s colleagues in this daring expedi- tion will be Dr. N. G. Ekholm and Herr N. Strindberg.—London Graphic. To Peel Oranges. An ingenious little instrument of much practical value has been patented in of novel form. There are practically three instruments combined in one—an ordinary knife-blade along the back of the instru- ment, a short hook sharpened to an edge on the inside and a little round edge in the vpoint of the hook. The orange is taken in the left hand and the short hook is then inserted in the rind and drawn down straight, care being taken to follow the lines of the sections of the fruit <§ i down to almost its base. The inner edge of the hook cuts the rind, which is loosened by the hook, and if the points of the section of skin thus cut are taken be- tween the thumb of the richt hand and the flat edge the skin is easily detached. Several oranges peeled in this way and arranged on a plate make a very artistic effect on the dinner table. Orange-Peeler. Various Notes. Herr Notbe, 8 German scientist, is said to have discovered a means of cultivating the nitrogen-absorbing bacteria which are the cause of the assimilation by legumin- ous plants of the atmospheric nitrogen, and he believes that the productiveness of certain soils can be increased by sowing these bacteria. As the experiment would cost the farmer $2 50 an acre, he is not likely to try it on an extensive scale. Lieutenant Schloback has entered upon the survey of the German railroad in East Africa, of which so much is expected. It is to start from Dar-es-Salaam, traverse the vopulous Ukemi district, and thence go on to Tabera, via Mpwapwa. From Tabora there are to he two distinct branches, one westward to Lake Tan- ganyika, the other northward to Lake Vic- toria Nyanza. J. W." January, formerly Postmaster at Minonk, Ill., is said to be the only man living that ever amputated both of his own legs with his own hand and afterward recovered. A Republic reader residing near Coving- ton, Ky., tells of one A. J. Driver who had his stomach opened and a spoon taken therefrom by Dr. E. W. Walker in Cincin- natiin 1887. The photograph was foreshadowed by the experiments made on light’s effect on chloride of silver as long ago as the begin- ning of the sixteenth century. ‘An ancient tomb ovened on an island off the coast of [taly in December last revealed the bones of & two-headed human being who had been over eleven feet in height. Sickles, billhooks, rakes, forks, axes, spades, blacksmiths’ tongs, hammers, sol- dering irons, planes, shovels, etc., have been found in Pompeii, remarkably like those used to-day, but the most wonderful things found are the surgical instruments, beautifully executed, and exactly similar to some recently patented and reinvented. The Pompeilans had also wire ropes of perfect construction. M. Perrotin, director of the Mount Mounier Observatory, near Nice, has made some observations confirming Schiaparel- 1i’s view that the planet Venus rotates on her axis every 200 days or so, thatisto say, in about the period of her revolution round the sun. Perrotin makes the time from 195 to 224 days. Near the Kermedec Islands, 500 miles northeast of Auckland, New Zealand, Captain Balfour of H. M. 8.

These are the Journal’s di- rections for making it: For a quart take the juice of three lemons and the rind of one of them. Carefully peel the rind very thin, getting just the yellow outside; cut this into pieces and put with the juice and powdered sugar in a jug or jar with a cover. When the water is at boiling point pour over the lemon and sugar; cover and allow to coo! M'000K AND THE SOLDIER. The General Found a Lad Who Would Keep Up With Him. Brimful of funny anecdotes that had no chestnutty flavor was the speech of General St. Clair Mulholland at the Second Corps banquet at the Shoreham Friday night. The Irishman largely preponderated in these anecdotes, of which a couple of specimens from the memory of a guest will be found below. McCook’s regiment was in front of the enemy, and expecting to make an attack next morning. He mounted his horse to ride down to the picket line and examine the situation. With this purpose in view he called for a soldier to_accompany him and the commanding officer made a de- tail. McCook was astonished when a little red-headed fellow rode up to him and touched his cap, ready for this service, for he was a mere boy, weighing not more than seventy-five pounds and looking scarely bigger than the Sharp's rifle he carried. “You going with me?’’ askea McCook. The lad saluted and replied in the affirm- ative. “We're going right to the front,’’ said the officer. ‘Do you know that it is very dangerous?”’ A “Yis, yer honor,” said the youth. “Have yon been under fire?” inquired the ofticer. “I have, yer honor.” “Did you suppose you have the backbone to keep up with me wherever I go?” “P'Il tbry, sir; that's why I'm sint, sir. An’ if it's heavy firin’ an’ we get among the bullets and ye're kilt you won’t be in h— half a minit before I come a-tappin’ at the window.”” They went to the front.—Washington Post. flsmart Broadway, New York, druggist has this sign hanging outside his store; it marks the new era of drug selling, Is it any wonder that he has to enlarge his quar- ters, that his clerks are busy, and that his store is one of the most popular along the leading thor- oughfare? ou can afford to trade with a druggist that has France and is freely sold by cutlers and silversmiths there.

The boatman for the Chinese fishing camp on the bay shore of Contra Costa County is known as ‘‘Charley,”’ notwith- standing the fact that he was born in the flowery kingdom over fifty years ago. He bas been in this country over thirty years and has devoted the greater portion of that time to transporting shrimps. Nearly everybody in San Francisco who indulges in shrimps has eaten some that Charley has carried in his boat, for his camp ships three-fourths of all that come to this City. It is over twenty-five years since Gharley took his first load from camp to San Pablo and he has never missed a day since. s () i il Charley Ready to Land at San Pablo. [From a sketch.] matter what the weather may be or how the tide may run, every morning he can be seen pulling or rowing over the ten miles of water in his large, peculiar look- ing boat. And he always had 1t loaded to its full capacity. At San Pablo the shrimps are hauled to the railroad and shipped to dealers in San Francisco. Charley’s boat is different from anything No | 25 on the bay, and appears to be a combina- tion of Italian fishing vessel and Chinese junk. But no matter what it looks like it is certainly a good sea boat, for it has been seen on the bay when the surface wasa seething mass of foam, and the waves were so high the big river steamers would not venture out. The vessel rides like a cork, and the sail, with its cumbersome ribs of wood, has withstood the hardest gales that ever blew in that locality. When the weather is fine Chariey adds to his income by making purchases for people_that live along the shore of the bay. He stops on his way to San Pablo and asks what is wanted, and on the way | back delivers it. He is a good-natured | Chinaman, and_always has something in his pocket for the children at the house where he stops. | The white people who know Charley say that he is the strongest man they ever saw. He will pull his 24-foot boat against the tide as if it were a 100-pound skiff. The loads he carries frequently weigh more than a ton. —————— He Had It Yet. “You must not touch the top of the baby’s head,”’ said a mother to her four- year-old boy. “She has a soft spot there | that is very tender.” 3 | The youngster gazed at it curiously for a moment and then asked: “Do all babies have soft spots on their | heads?” " Yes.” “Did papa have a soft spot on the top of his hemrwhen he was a baby?"’ “Yes,” replied the mother, with a sigh, “and he has got it yet.” And the old man, who had heard the co_ndversa\',ion from an adjoining room, said : “Yes, indeed he has, my dear boy, or he would be a single man to-day.’’—Spare Moments. —————————— One Dead. A good joke happened to a certain doc- tor the other day. - He ordered some very powerful medicine for a sick boy; and the father, not liking | the appearance of it, forced it down the | cat’s throat. ] | When the doctor called again and in- !quired if the powder had cured the boy, | the father replied: | “No; we did not give it to him.” | “Good gracious!'” said the doctor, “is | the child living?” 5 | “Yes; but the old cat isn’t—we gave it to } her!’—Spare Moments. — e On January 1 the armies of the world | numbered nearly 4,500,000 men.
