WORK OF INVENTORS.
Latest Discoveries of Importance in the World
of Science.
A paper on modern machine meth-
ods read by Mr. H. F. L. Orcutt before
the British Institution of Mechanical
Engineers is interesting as a contri-
bution to a discussion now prominent
in England, especially as it gives an
English point of view. The use of ac-
curate limit-gauge, instead of micro-
meters or calipers, is strongly urged,
even in small shops. There is, he
says, a widespread and erroneous idea,
particularly among European manu-
facturers who desire to emulate Amer-
icans, that the latest methods cannot
be economically adopted except where
work is thoroughly standardized, spe-
cialized and made in large quantities.
Mr. Orcutt thinks otherwise, and re-
marks that a single hole is more
cheaply bored in a chucking machine
than in a lathe. It Is more easily
made to a limit gauge than when cali-
pers are used. One spindle is more
cheaply finished In the grinding ma-
chine than in the lathe, quality duly
considered; and again, it is more eas-
ily finished to a limit gauge, employ-
ing less skilled labor. The idea that
large quantities and standard work
are necessary before modern equip-
ment begins to play an important part
in the economics of manufacturing is
described as a delusion of those who
have grasped only a small part of the
problem. The advantages of possess-
ing a well-equipped laboratory and
testing department are pointed out.
Materials should be studieu with refer-
ence to selecting the most suitable and
easiest worked, the cheapest. Where
the size of a shop will not warrant
the expense of a testing department,
several shops should join to support
one. It is in this direction that Mr.
Orcutt looks for decided advance and
improvement in English practice.
Mechanical Sugar llowl.
It is the object of the apparatus il-
lustrated below to provide a machine
for use in restaurants, confectionery
stores and analogous places where su-
gar is employed in mixing drinks, be-
ing adapted to discharge the sugar in
the required quantity without the aid
of a spoon for transferring it to the
cup. It is also claimed that the device
will exclude moisture and dust and is
capable of preventing flies and other
insects from obtaining access to the
sugar.
The principal feature of the machine
is the pair of rotary buckets located
in the narrow chamber beneath the
reservoir into which the sugar falls.
A turn of the crank scoops up a buck-
etful of sugar and discharges it
through the spout into the cup. The
buckets are preferably of a size to con-
tain about a teaspoonful of sugar, but
should it be desired to obtain a larger
lightship on Nantucket Shoals and the
shore, forty-eight miles distance. It
was possible .o secure chronographic
records of the chronometer beats and
the signals from the ship and to elimi-
nate the lag of the instruments by
causing i he chronometer Dreak to ex-
cite the coherer and obtain new chron-
ographic records. Time observations
were made and the first determination
of longitude by wireless telegraphy
were obtained. (The first determina-
tion of longitude by land telegraphs
was made between Washington and
Baltimore, in 1844, and the method is
to-day specifically named "American.")
For work among islands like those of
the Alaskan archipelago the new wire-
less methods are likely to be of great
value.
Gate for Pasture Fenca.
It is always desirable to have some
sort of a gate in the pasture field fence
but it Is not always easy to build one
that is at once stock proof and easy
to operate when necessary. The ar-
rangement as shown in the illustra-
tion is not in reality a gate, but a pas-
sageway so placed that the stock can
not get through, but through which a
person may readily pass. No explan-
ation of the plan is needed, for it is
plainly shown by the illustration.
This fence may be arranged so as to
provide a double gate by hinging the
open portion in the foreground so that
when closed the post will come in
snugly against the fence post, and bo
h'dd in plac:; by a wire loop dropped
over both posts; then the gate in the
background should also be placed on
hinges, so that when closed it will lap
over against the fence about tAO feet,
and be held in favor by a staple and
rook.
quantity the crank Is reversed, piling
up the sugar around the spout and
causing it to flow in a continuous
stream.

THE WOHAN'S CORNER.
Specially Selected Notes Concerning Fa5hlon
and the Home.
"How many women are persistently
ruining the 'bloom' of their lips and
the contour of cheeks and all pleas-
ant 'expression* by pinning their veils
too tightly across the face," said a
woman yesterday. "Observe the wom-
en on the streets and you will see any
number of them at frequei.t intervals
'pouting' out their lips so as to push
ofT the pressure of the tightly drawn
veil, and all unconscious that the pe-
culiar action has grown into a fixed
babit, or that it makes a perfect cari-
cature of their faces every time they
do it, to say nothing of the irritating
effect it has on the sensitive nerves of
other people.
"Apropos of 'habits,' why will peo-
ple get into them? They are so dif-
ficult to overcome, once they are
formed. And it is resented as an of-
fense if any interested friend calls at-
tention to some 'habit' that is spoiling
and ruining a woman's appearance.'
Natural Ear-Trumpets.
A correspondent of Nature has found
that the spiral horn of a wild sheep,
when so placed that the ear is in the
axis of the coll, makes the ticking of a
watch more audible in one particular
lirection. Since the
:ir of the sheep Is
urrounded by the
orn, he Infers that
he latter acts as
n ear trumpet, not
mproving the
earing of distant
sounus, out uibciosing the direction
of a sound. This would be useful in
enabling the sheep to ascertain the ex-
act points from which sounds come
when there is a mist or fog covering
its feeding grounds.—Youth's Compan-
ion.
Destruction of Bacteria.
It was proved in 1877- that sunlight
was fatal to certain bacteria, especial-
ly the violet and ultra-violet rays. The
rays from radium consist of two sys-
tems of radiation with very different
properties, one system—the Becquerel
rays—analogous to sunlight, the other
not so. Experiments lately tried have
demonstrated that the Becquerel rays,
likewise, are fatal to bacteria and show
that these rays are, therefore, similar
to sunlight in their physiological as
well as in their physical effects.
A Summer Wt lst.
The woman who does her summer
sewing during the Lenten season will
appreciate this
dainty little sug-
gestion for the
adaptation of a
summer blouse. A
tucked silk or mus-
lin blouse Is cut
away at the neck
and a dainty lit-
tle fichu is draped
round the open
throat. This is
edged with lace on
both sides and is caught in front by
pretty little bows of colored velvet.
Under the closely fitting upper portion
of the sleeve a transparent full sleeve
1« arranged. This is finished off with
lace at the wrist and is tied with vel-
vet also. A waistband to match com-
pletes a pretty confection. Of course
the model is equally well suited to
new material: the idea of successful
irHovation is, however, frequently
more useful.
namented with handsome buttons and
finished with chenille fringe. Two
similar straps pass over the shoul-
ders.
The sleeve Is finished with a ruf-
fle and puff of the satin, headed by
the cloth strap.
The standing collar Is of guipure,
finished at the top with a flare of dark
gray velvet. The girdle is of this dark
velvet, knotted at the side with fringed
end 8.

As soon as possible dismiss from the
mind every suggestion that haB to do
with illness. If you have had an op-
eration, and it Is over, let It glide into
the shadowy background of memory.
Do not dwell upon it, do not talk about
it. Cultivate thought about others,
about the great round world, about its
victories, its happy homes and loving
hearts, but utterly turn from the night
side of suffering, except as you may
relieve it. and dwell in the blessed sun-
shine. There is no sweeter thing on
earth than to be one of God's light-
bringers, and to make those about you
stronger because you are uncomplain

New Monograms.
The old-style, plain-letter monogram
Is being superseded, and the woman
who would be thought artistic and up-
to-date In dainty trifles is using the
new monogram somewhat after the
Japanese style. The more subtle the
design the better it is liked. The idea
Is to have something graceful in out-
line, well-balanced In partB, and alto-
gether artistic, a monogram perfectly
clear when once deciphered, but
which to the casual observer seems
to be merely a pleasing, fanciful sketch
or a symbol rather than a combination

■Will He a White Hammer.
Embroidered white batistes make up
beautifully and likely will be much
worn, as this summer la to be a
white one. White in all kinds of Bilk,
cloth and cotton is proposed for all
occasions—for house gowns, yachting
and outing wear, afternoon, garden
and evening. White brilliantlne is
used for yachting and outing suits,
which are made with blazer or eton
jackets, with shirt waista of wash
material. Their skirts are shirred or
plaited around the hips, if the ma-
terial is very thin and the figure will
admit of extra fullness.
For a Spring Suit.
You cannot go far wrong in ordering
a two-piece suit of dark-blue serge for
a knock-about spring suit or traveling
dress. Many of these have eton jack-
ets and most of these eton jackets
display an additional piece or pieces
set on in the middle of the back and
coming below. These are called eton
tabs. They are always short. There
may be two visible, but quite as often
a single piece. Eton tabs take away
from the broad, flattened line.
