Nn t-Taplnff Machine.
A nut-tapi ing machine Ins been
contrived by a Kliode Island invent r
which automatically presents in suc-
cession a number ot nuts to the tap
releases them from the holding jaws
after tapping and pushes them on to
the shank of the tip and when the
desired number of nuts has been
tanped the machine is automatically
stopped. The apparatus is described
as having a longitudinal y rotatable
tap and means for driving the same
th- combination with the table mov-
ably supported by a frame in front of J
the tap and having an arm a spring
secured to the arm and a stud on the
forward end of the frame. There is a
feed bos secured to the central for-
ward portion of the tade and a
jaw blocc is secured in the slot
in tne tab e below the box the spring
operated bar carrying fingers sup-
ported in a slide on the lower surface
of the table: this is operat- d a?ainst
the spring pressure by a rod piloted to
the bar and to a depending arm on tr.e
tabU being adapted to be engaged by
a stop and a rack secured to the under
side of the table. A 'lever is pivoted
b tween studs below the table and
having a semicircular pinion engaging
with the rack and a rod connects the
lower end of the lever with that of tne
pivoted lever.

8 team Engineering;.
According to a writer in Power en-
gin ers should apply the steam engine
indicator at least once a week and
some rig for reducing the motion of
the piston should be available wh'ch
will admit of easy attachment with-
out stopping the engine. A unique
arrangement of this kind has been in-
troduced which consists of a light
brass wheel which has two diameters
the larger diameter beirg of such di
mensions that the circumference will
be one-h ilf the stroke of the engine
and the smaller having a circumfer-
ence one-half the length of the dia-
gram. A cord wound two or three
time around the large wheel is at-
tacnedtothe cross-head an l a cord
from the wheel ox smaller diameter
leads tp the barrel of the indicator
when in operation or is hooked to an
idler cord which passes over a leading
pulley to a weight while the indica-
tor is at rest. A clock spring attached
to the side of the wheel causes the re-
turn motion after the cord has been
drawn out by the moving cross-head.
This rig as a permanent attachment
to the front head of an engine has
proved satisfactory
Towing- on tba Peine.
An account is given of some interest-
ing experiments conducted by the
Societe de Touage de la Basse Seine et
de l'Oise upon the River fceine which
have culminated in he construction
of a towboat of large dimensions'
whose towing apparatus has been pro-
Tided with a number of magnetized
pulleys. In size the main towing pul-
ley is but a little over four feet in di-
ameter it be'ng simp'y a solenoid
whose soft iron coil is fianged to form
the gr63ve the bottom' of which is a
bronze rin"g-VLh rubber joints to pre-
vent the wire coiKfrom getting wet:
the current is genefaVdby a small
dynamo. The whole consWl.tlon s
stated to be simple and of very "gf&8
strength and besides the advantages
of having a small towing pulley there
is the much greater one that the
proper n mount of adhesion is obtained
with only three-quarters of a turn. A
similar magnetized pulley acts as a
brake on the slack of the chain so that
it can be properly paid out.

Along in the early fifties the grlzr.ly
sears were so plentiful in the canyons
aear Fort Fillmore. M. that
lotnestic animals were in constant
po-il from their nightly incursions
n fact they were dreaded by loue
travelers almost as much as the sav-
go and hostile Apaches.
I had occasion during my sojourn
i 1 Paso Texas at that early period
' the history of that country to visit
ort Fillmore. 1 was detained there
several days and made my headquar-
ers at the post with tho sutler.
The second day after my arrival
mo of the cavalry horses while play-
ir in a corral received a vicious
vick from another horse. On ex-
amination it was thought to be im-
possible for the poor brute ever to
-ecover from tha wound so as to bo
f any use and to put him out of his
.nisery he was shot ani hauled up
the canyon about a mile from the
fort.
As it was well known that there
would bo a grand carnival of the
grizzles and other wild beasts over
tho carcass that night the "boys"
that is Lieutenant Cook and others
consisting of quite a respectable cor-
poral's guard concluded to witness
the feast. The sky was clear and in
that soft transparent atmosphere the
full moon lit up tho canyon almost
equal to midday.
We selected two small brass howitz-
ers from the battery of six guns and
loaded them almost to the muzzle
with grape shot and cannister. We
then hauled our ordnance to within
convenient range of the carcass and
secreted ourselves in ambush behind
a clump of cacti.
We waited some . three hours
which seemed almost an age to the
eager watchers and about 10 o'clock
the first intimation of the approach-
ing carnival was mado known by the
distant howl of a paak of hungry-
coyotes. The v were not long how-
ever in putting in an appearance in
such force that it was all we could
do to prevent Sergeant McGilvey
opening the battery on them. We
reserved our charge for the larger
game as we knew the grizzly would
jot fail to attend the feast.

nopoly long however for a few min-
utes later the awe-inspiring growl
of three large grizzlies were heard in
chorus over the banquet table and in
turn putting to flight that beautifully
freckled but somewhat discomfitted
jauuar.
By the time wo had placed our
guns in position two more monster
grizzlies had urrived at the feast
making five of tho huge beasts that
caused the ground to tremble by their
roars and savago growling as they
tore the carcass to pieces and fought
each other like demons.
f-uddenly the deafening roar of the
two guns almost simultaneously
awoko the echoes of the canyon and
also the fears of tho two remaining
grizzlies leaving three of their num-
ber dead and wounded on the battle-
field. The whole seme wa9 in plain vie-
from my position and I remained
secreted under that cactus (a large
variety of what is generally known as
prickly pear) until the guns had
been heavily charged again and I was
fully atisfled that the bears were in
no condition to give further trouble.
Two of the bears were killed out-
right says the Philadelphia Times
being literally torn to pieces by the
cannister and tho third was so badly
Wangled that he lived perhaps half
an hour in great agony.
By tho time we had taken a topo-
graphical survey of the gory field it
was past midnight and we concluded
to make a night of it" hoping for a
return of the coyotes.
About 4 o'clock in the morning tho
distant wail of a hungry coyote told
us of the commencement of their
march to a second banquet at tne
augmented table of good things. It
seemed that the wail of that lono
coyote was re-eciioeii by a thousand
ravenous throats and in less than
thirty minutes a howling mob of
them were tearing to pieces and
fighting over the remains of both
horse and bears.
When the guus again belched forth
the deadly messages the earth trem-
bled the carnival ceased and quiet
once more reigned over the scene.
In looking over the field of destruc-
tion after the battle was. over we did
not find a wholo coyote and a few
whole heads but calculated thenum-
bc. slain by their tails finding twenty-seven.
As the reveille sounded we wheeled
our guns into lino and started for the
fort fully satisfied with our night's
sport but tired out and as hungry as
the most ravenous coyote.
