Columbus' Egg Trick.
The illustration represent! a puzzle
formed of a easing simulating* an egg,
with which may be accomplished ths
feat attributed to Columbus, that of
causing- an egg to stand on end, the
shell of tho casing* being- broken away
and two views taken of its interior. A
double-floored partition divides th$
larger from the smaller end of the egg,
the floors of the partition being united
by a hollow central cylindrical por-
tion, in which is an aperture establish-
ing communication with the annular
chamber in the smaller end of the egg,
says the Scientific American. Cen-
trally in the upper partition, in the
larger end of the egg, is a collar, open
at one side, forming a chamber adapted
to receive a balL A ball is placed in
the upper chamber and one between
the floors of the partition, as shown itt
Fig. 1. and the egg can then be made
to stand upon its small end by turning
it around in the hand until ball 1 is
moved into compartment 2 in the large
end, ball H being at the same time
guided through aperture 4 into the
lower chamber 5. and to the cavity 6.
The balls then will be in the line of
the exis of the egg, and, its smaller
end having a very slight cavity to give
i* a narrow base on which to stand,
there will be no difficulty in making it
stand on this end, as shown in Fig. 2.
This puzzle has been patented by Mr.
Manuel Benitez.«
Hydraulic Oravel Elevator.
\ The use of the hydraulic gravel el©*
vator has lately been successfully re-
sorted to in irold-uiiniiur pperation§, in
plac? of the ordlnarv^pitfli ot making
deep channels in the bed rock leading
up to the face of the bank that the
miner is washing away, so as to insure
a sufficient fall for the water to carry
off the earth with it. By means of the
hydraulic gravel elevator, the waste is
forced off through a Hume, enabling
low ground without fall to be worked
with but little trouble. The principle
upon which the operation of these ele-
vators rests is simply that a body of
water flowing with considerable
locity will carry stone and
earth up an incline of some
length this fact suggesting the
construction of a device which
should so direct and confine the force
of a stream of water as to impel before
it, through a pipe, the washings from
a hydraulic mine. An inclined pipe is
connected with the flume,and its lower
end leads to a depression in the
ground, and into this depression
the tailings are washed by
the water flowing back from
the banks on which it has beeil
thrown; a fixed nozzle plays continual-
ly into the opening of the inclined
pipe, and this stream forces the water
up to the head of the flume, which car-
ries it off by gravity. It is stated that,
though this method of disposal is
necessarily more costly than that of
allowing the washings to How down
the stream and spread over the flat
land farther along the course of a
river, it enables large areas of gold
land to be worked with a profit, where
returns would otherwise be too small
to pay for the trouble of iniuing.
A Clever Instrument.
A duplex writing machine which
finder various names, such as auto-
copyist, diplograph, etc., has appeared
in diverse forms of more or less utility
has been changed and perfected by the
Marquis Fonti of Home to a degree
which makes it an instrument of great
value where a duplicate of ,an auto-
graph document is desired.
Fonti's biograph is. as shown in the
accompanying sketch, arranged in
such a manner that two sheets of
paper are laid side by side. They are
flSr'V
f-
the instrument ana at the bottom by a
heavy steel ruler. To obtain good re-
sults the two sheets must be perfectly
straight and parallel with each other.
Two vertical supports carry the roller
in the end gearing of which the side
arms move, and this same arrange-
ment is duplicated in the center, from
which a second parallelogram depends,
whose two lateral sides are formed by
the penholders in a way that every
movement existed by the right hand
penholder is communicated to the left.
In front of the base at each side two
ink wells are stationed, and when the
writer dips his pen into the right hand
inkstand, the other pen duplicates the
motion. An exact counterpart ex-
ecuted by the motions of the writer is
produced on thesecond sheet.
The instrument cannot only be used
for ordinary writing, but for pen-
drawing. writing of music, etc. It
has been subjected to innumerable
tests, and has so far tilled all the re-
quirements to a nicety which is sur-
prising.
( oust ructing Engine*.
One of the notable improvements in
the construction of engines, a.- lately
described, is a method of relieving the
governor of « onsiderable of its load,
this beiug effected by means of a cut-
off valve gear, and of special value in
*f? applkistlon to four valve engines
This new valve gear provide!
engine with a positive hookifi^ipti ae
vice, in which springs are entirely dis-
pensed with, and also includes an ar-
rangement for positively closing the
steam valves., the combination being
such that the work upon the governor
in cutting off is reduced, in this way
rendering it more sensitive. A.p°ther
advantage named is the location of
the hook and tripping leVer somewhat
below the line of pressure of the c&n
tact surfaces of the hook plates, and
nearly balancing the resistance rer
quired to trip the valve. A slight prtf
ponderance in leverage, however, if
?iven to the hook, by means of which
he latter is more inclined to engage
the hook plate of the steam lever than
to disengage it. The device is quite a
triumph in this line of mechanism,
and the work imposed upon tho
governor in releasing or tripping the
valve is reduced to a minimum, a point
of much importance in view of the
fact that, formerly, the cutting off or
releasing of the steam v&lve imposed
considerable extra work upon the gov
ernor for the time.
known ai tho positive fitop motion.
The device is connected with the kicker
shaft of a loom where the crank mo-
tion on the face of the gear is done
away with and a hub motion is insti-
tuted. from which the same results are
obtained in much less time than by the
system in ordinary use—a ratchet be-
ing formed on the inner circle of the
gear, containing the same number of
teeth as are ih the outer surface of the
gear, and, by a simply mcchanical ar-
rangement at the hub of the gear,
wnieh is regulated on the ratchet, the
beam is turned back In a fevfr seconds.
Another improvement in this line ife a
machine iu which the fabrics are
passed from one beam to another and
in their course the selvages are im-
pressed with the desired marks by
means of a device arranged at each side
of the fabric, this device being a bed-
piate or standard, adjustable accord-
ing to the width of clotil; the bottom
part of the standard in this case is
formed into boxes for containing the
marking liquid, the latter conveyed to
the selvages of the cloth by a pair of
rollers—the fabric passing up between
the latter, immediately above which,
on each side of the fabric, is arranged
a lieatiijg box or plate, which dries the
ink as the fabric passes, and all the
parts are adjustable to suit the differ
ent classes of material.

The Human Eye.
Some recent remarks iu the Optician,
in relation to the structure of ttye
human eye as an available photo-
graphic surface, render it certain that,
as asserted by specialists in this line,
the propt^ties of the retina, photo-
grar: • "U, considered. have not been
sufficiently investigated, and that the
records of such experiments as have
been tried are not very accessible. An
interesting question^ is, whether the
excitation, active or merely persistent,
of one color sense is favorable or other-
wise to the sensitiveness of the other
color senses: also, how the period of
persistence varies with the quantity
and quali\v of light—what facts can be
discovered by photographic retinoscopy
—whether problems relating to the
color senses, and the extent to which
"persistence" is r.ccompanied by sur-
face phosphores^noe, could not be most
accurately determined by photograph-
ing retinal images and soon. It is
believed that actinic illumination or
images would have the advantage of
not irritating tho eye or causing con-
traction of the pupil, tho only doubt
enterttined as to this matter being
that of the sufficient transparency to
actinism of the substan e of the eye.

A new alloy for use in the manu
facture of wire, -heets and castings,
has been successfully introduced by a
New Kngland firm. The wire made
of this material resembles ordinary
copper wire on the outside, has a
pinkisli-white tinge at the surface of
fracture, and is verv strong without
losing much ductility. The torsion
test shows over eighty twists in six,
inches for au annealed wire, which J
still possesses some seventy thousand 1
pounds tensile strength, with about
forty twists in six inches. Combined
with these favorable mechanical quali- '
ties, it is claimed that this wire has
the remarkable resistance of thirtv-
five times that of copper, with a tem-
perature co-efficient of less than one-
tenth that of German silver: and, by
having the resistance lower than as
above, the described tensile strength
can be increased up to 110,00 ) pounds
per square inch, thus showing its pe-
culiar value for certain applications, j

In order to operate promptly a little
compass is dropped into the tube, un-
known to the spectators. Each num-
bered block contains a magnetic bar
concealed from view. As soon as toe
tube is placed on top of each number,
the magnetic needle points in the op-
posite direction from the magnet con-
tained in the numbered block. The
needle takes four different position^,
corresponding with those of the four
numbers in the box.
