of Moqi'.t nml A (UW Abso-
lute Accuracy.
In order to hasten the business of
counting: ballots* with aeeu.u-y unit
without fraud, George M. Ureer, ol j
Benedict* Neth, has invented a sp olal
table for tlie use of judges. A general |
Idea of the plan of procedure which he j
has in view may be interesting. 1 ho ,
system i available only where the Aus- ,
trail an ballot is used, and where the j
names of rival candidates for the same |
office are printed one after another in
a singlo column instead of parallel col-
umns.
When the polls arc closed and the bal-
lots are sorted, the "straights ' are put
in separate piles and then are mad j
up in bunches of ten in the following
manner: First, two ballots are laid
face to face and thrust on u spindle
together, pains being taken to have the
point of the spilce pass through a hole
punched in the head of the ballot by
the printer, in order to secure uniform-
ity. Vive such pairs are arranged sUio
by side, on a five-pointed gauge-bar,
and the tops of each set, the upper
and lower, are connected by a pasted
cross strip. Afterward, in the process
of counting, one set of live can be past-
ed to the bottom of another set, thus
making a continuous series, five wide.
Scratched tickets can be made up ir.
similar botches, but will be counted
differently, of course.
The judges are provided with a desk
or table having sloping surfaces on op-
posite sides, so that two of t hem eau
work at once, facing each other.
Across the table between them is a
long slot, and below the latter a pair
of rollers, operated by hand from the
1WO INDIAN PYGMIES.

Homer tells of a fabulous race o!
dwarfs, the 1'ygmio*, who dwelt lu thi
far east, in India, where they kept up
a deadly warfare with the nice of tho
cranes. Is it a couple descended from
llomer's pygmies w ho are now on ex*
hibitiou in a l!crliu museum? At any
rate, the little people who are attract-
ing a great deal of interest in the Ger-
man capital conic from the wonderland
of the far cast, from the British pos-
sessions in lhtrmah, w here they first
saw the light on the bank of the Irra-
wadd\ river, not far from its mouth.
These dwarfs differ from those
generally seen on exhibition in that

outside. It is intended that when the
judges have called olY the vote from
each set of tive, the whole ten shall
be drawn by the rollers down into the
hollow interior of the desk, and a tresh
set of tive (newly pasted onto tho
other) would be drawn up into position
for counting. It is intended that t.h■;
rollers he long enough and the desk
l>e wide enoug-h to provide for a tally-
sheet, arranged on an endless belt, mov-
ing simultaneously with the tickets.
This printed sheet is spaced to corre-
spond with the tickets, and is expected
to come around regularly each time
h set of ten tickets is run through the
mill. Only a small part of the sheet
shows through an opening in the desk
at any one time, hut it is properly sup-
ported underneath, and a folding-arm
rest is provided for the use of each
clerk of the t o desks engaged in re-
cording the vote, n.s the judges declare
the same. A straight edge, reaching
cleair across the de?,k up near the cen-
11 al slot, serves as a guide to the ,ju Igc
eye in looking from ticket to the tallj -
siieet.. Sockets are provided for lamps,
as the. work must be done after day
light. Mr. Greer claims that his plan
saves time, insures accuracy and also
saves money to each ward or district,
although he does not point out how this
lastz-mentioned advantage is secured.
To Ut ilixe tl.e Kartll'l lloat.
According to the late expression of
the trade and technical journals, the
utilization of the earth's heat will be
one of the next triumphs of the en<ri-
tieer. It is now pretty generally be-
lieved that, this can be done by sinking
wells or shafts to the depth of 12,000 or
15,000 feet into the bowels of the earth,
thus getting down to the central heat
of the globe. Some argue that so
great a depth cannot possibly be at-
tained, but admit that it may not bo
impossible to penetrate even to 20,000
to liO.OOO feet with the improved ma-
chinery which the coming engineer w ill
have at his command. Water obtained
from a depth of even 12,000 feet wouid
have a temperature of 200 degrees, cen-
tigrade, which could be used to heat
I dwelling-houses and public buildings,
to snv nothing of the immense amount
of power it would supply.

There is a great ileal of talk in Eng

ur.ist who recently visited Wigan to in
vestigate .he subject declares that tin
"pit-brow girl" prefers shoveling coal
to mil! work. The "brow," to the un
initiated, means the surface immedi

"cage" goes up and down incessantly
during the day. The cage consists
three "decks," each carrying two
"tubs," or small carriages. The girl

Tho First Thermometer.
Tho first thermometer was made in
1G21 by a Dutch physicist named Cor-
nelius Van Drebbell, and consisted of n
tube filled with air closed at its upper
end and dipping at its other extremity,
which was open in a bottle of nitric acid
diluted with water. As the tempera-
ture rose or fell the air in the tube in-
creased or grew less in volume, and
consequently the liquid descended or
rose. This instrument is now known
as an air thermometer, but as its meas-
urements were based on 110 fixed prim
ciple it was of little use.

Privileged Saloons In Chicago.
The chief of police of Chicago has
made an order to the effect, that any sa-
loon within a radius of one-half block
of a newspaper office would be allowed
to remain open during the night. The
modification of the existing order is
due to a large extent to efforts of the
printers, who saw no reason why they,
of all the working classes, should he
jhut out of the privilege of quenching
their t hirst ;f they so desired. The new
regulation may give rise to peculiar ii
cidents. For instance, an enterprisii :r
publican might start a paper of hisow n
and by this means secure exemption
from the edict that bears upon a neigh-
bor who has no journalistic facilities.
For rolishliiK Kyegiasse®.
It is an odd fact, but one which is
borne out by the testimony of tlie por-
tion of the community best qualified to
F.peak—the users of eyeglasses and
spectacles—that the ordinary pocket
handkerchief is not a satisfactory pol
isher of the glasses. A not too oltl
bank note is useful according to sonv
authorities, and it is probably for sim-
lar reasons that Japanese paper nap
of the same diseases. Being on y inptoms, tneir
temporary relief does not cure tho disease.
