MUSIC THAT SPEAKS TRUTH.
Folic Songft Show Llm II bits, IlelletM
iiikI Feeling* of Agrft.
In the folk songs of the different
nations of tho world men of science
will ono day rccognizo a body of
evidence of great value in the study
of popular origins, racial relations,
primitive modes of thought, ancient
customs, antique religions and many
other things which make up tho
study of ethnology, says a writer in
tho Musical Ilorahl. These folk
songs aro the echoos ol the heart of
tho vast, vague, irresistible people.
In thoi are crystallized habits,
beliefs and feelings of unspeakable
antiquity; yet not in tho words of
the song alone. Study of folk song
text is only half study; indeed, it is
study of the lessor half of the subject
in request of truthfulness. The
words of tho people's songs aro a
record of externals chiefly, and very
often thoy were only half truths, if
we would know tho wholo story
which their creators put into them,
consciously or unconsciously, wo must
hear also the music.
As tho term implies, tho folk song
is the product of a people; and a
people do not lie. Music is an es-
sential element of it, and music not
only does not—it cannot lie. The
things which aro at the bottom of
music, without which it could not bo,
aro unconscious human products.
We all act on a recognition of this
fact whon we judge of the sentiments
of another, not so much by what ho
says to us as by his manner of say-
ing it. The feelings which sway us
publish themselves in the pitch, dy-
namic intensity and timbre of our
voices. Try as wo may, if we aro
poworfully moved wo cannot conceal
tho fact if we open our mouths for
utterance. Involuntarily tho musclos
of tho vocal organs become ten to or
relax in obedience to tho emotional
stimulus, and tho drama which is
playing on the hidden stage of our
hearts is disclosed by tho tones
which wo utter. 1 do not say in the
words, mind, but in the tones. Tho
former may bo false, but tho tones
aro endowed with tho olements
already enumerated, of pitch. Intens-
ity and timbre, and the modulation
of these olements makes oxprossivo
melody. Science lias recognized tbi:i
law and Herbert Spencer has formu-
lated it: "Variations of the voices
are the physiological results of vari-
ations of feelings;" and "feelings aro
muscular stimuli." Thus simple is
tho explanation of the inherent
truthfulness and expressiveness of
tbe people's music.

Storing Heat.
Important progress is believed to
have been made in solving the problem
of storing heat, one of the latebt sug-
gestions in this line being that by Mr
llalpin, a London engineer, who pro-
poses to use boilers and engines, but
to store heal during the day in special-
ly const ucted reservoirs. As the
water in the boilers is raised to 250
pounds pressure it is conducted to
cylindrical reservoirs, resembling Eng-
lish horizontal boilers, and stored
there for use when wanted; in this
way a comparatively small boiler plant
can be used or heating the wat r to
2ft0 pounds' pressure all through the
twenty four hours of the day, and the
stored water m y be drawn on at any
time, according to the extent of de-
mand—the steam engines to be worked
by the steam generated by the release
of pressure from this water, and the
valves to be arranged in such manner
t at the steam shall work at 130
pounds pressure. In favor of th s
plan, the statement is made that a
reservoir 8 feet in diameter and 30
feet 1< ng, containing some 8i,000
pounds of heate 1 water at 250 pounds
pressure, would supply 5,250 pounds of
steam at 130 pounds pressure—these
data being the result of investigations
made with great care by Prof. Unwin.

registering with two ports in the top

terior of the steam chest. The
stufling boxes in which the valve
stems slide are screwed into position,
and when removed the valve may be
passed through the apertures in the
ends of the steam chest To prevent
the turning of the valve, a screw in
the top of the casing projects into a
longitudinal recess in the top of the
valve. The cut-off mechanism con-
sists of a saddle with Hanges sliding
in guideways on the valve casing,
there being on one side of the saddle
a rack engaged by a pinion on the
lower end of a shaft turning in a

so that the whole skin of the vessel is
of the same degree of thickness
throughout. The engines are placed
aft,as in the construction of the whale-
bark steamers, by which arrangement
there is a long, continuous hold from
the engine room to the forecastle, this
being interfered with only by the
necessary bulkheads. Another feat-
ure pertaining to this steamer is the
location of the boats, and the accomo-
dation for engine ers and crew, all
abaft the engine room, though the
captain and officers are placed, as
usual under the bridge forward.
Cotton Machinery.
A recent English improvement in
machinery for prepaiing and spinning
cotton renders it practicable t bal-
ance the lifting rail and 10 adjust au-
tomatically the balance according to
the weight of fibre wound upon the
bobbins. For this purpose a weight
arranged to slide upon a lever is em-
ployed, connected by chains or links
to the lifting slides of the machine;
this weight is traversed along the
lever by a screw, which in its turn is
operated upon by the cone drum strap
shifting motion or other constant mo-
tion of the machine The pitch of the
screw and the size of the sliding
weight can be regulated so as exactly
to compensate for the weight of fibre
wound upon the bobbins: in this way
an exact balance of the lifting rail all
through the building of the set of bob-
bins is obtained. vVhen the building
of the set of bobbins is completed and
it is necessary to doff, the cone drum
strap fork is moved by the frame
tenter to recommence a new set of
bobbins, and the weight is also by the
same motion moved back to its nor-
mal position, ready to be traversed
along the lever as the winding of the

A Wonderful Indian l'lant.
In India I once witnessed a most
remarkable phosphoric light issue
from a giant flower called by natives
"l:ed-swar." Tho flower was nearly
six inches in diameter and of a deep
red color, but with yellowish petals.
My attention was callod to tho lum-
inous radiations of this beautiful
plant by a guide,and we used to visit
tho garden every morning two hours
before sunrise to observe this fascin-
ating spectacle. This was during
the months of .luly and August: The
light, although most brilliant in tho
early morning hours, could also be
discerned during twilight, but not
after total darkness came on. This
led 1110 to believo that the light wa
not admitted from the flower itself,
l>ut that it wa-i reflected. To de-
termine this I placed ono of the
flowers in a perfectly dark, that is,
light-tight room, where I knew tho
air to bo perfectly dark, and not tho
faintest spark could be seen. This
might have 1 een caused by thu
broken stem, but lam of the opinion
that the light was reflected, as it
was quite intense and could be
soon at a distanco of several feet.
Whon viewed closely the petal re-
sembled a miniature incandescent

The dross coat of the "kollnor" is

meeting of the union of hotolkeepors
tho question was solemnly debated
whether it was not practicable to
olotho tho waiter in a more rational
dross than tho hitherto obligatory
swallow-tail. Tho precedent for such
a resolution has already been set in
Germany. A few months ago the
Doutscho Gastwirths Verband offered
a prize for tho best example of a con
veniont dross for the waiter. Tho
design accepted was a tailless jack

A high-pressure lire engine of some-

factured in London for a South Ameri-
can fire department and specially
designated to work at the exceptional
water pressure of 300 pounds per square
inch. The apparatus is fitted with
two steam cylinders and two direct
and double acting pumps arranged
vertically in front of the boiler. The
collective area of the valves is large,
so that the barrels are filled at each
stroke. The suction and delivery
valves are contained in two chamoers,
the suction valves at back and the de-
livery valves in front of pump, so ar-
ranged as to bo easy to access by the
removal of either cover. The cross-
head works in guides in front of the
pump, and, owing to its special form,

Done by a Crunk
The Invention lately of a crank
which does away with the necessity of
a dead point is an achievement due to
French genius, and is certainly unique
in its way. The crank pin works in a
slot cut in a steel disk, fastened to the
end of the shaft, and is pressed upon
by a spring, the latter being so ad-
justed that at tho ordinary steaui
pressure it is held firmly in place. If,
However, the crank be at a dead point
when the full pressure of the fteam is
a lmitted into the cylinder the spring
is compressed, the crank pin slides in
the groove so us to assume an angu ar
position to the shaft, and the latter
begins to l-evolve. I"uder thiB arrange-
ment—the pressure of the steam in
the cylinder while the engine is in
motion being less than in the boiler
itself as soon as the shaft begins to
turn, the pressure against the sprinir
is relieved, and the crank pin Hies
back to its usual position. The ten-
si'in of the spring is, of course, ad-
justed as necessary.
# WelRht of Rttlls
The statement is made that the
weight of the rail used on the Ameri-
can roads has been increasing steadily
during the last twenty years and this
notwithstanding the abundance of
timber available for ties, tho fact in
question being due solely, it appears,
to the increasing weight of rolling
stock, cars of every description being
much heavier than thoy were formerly
and their capacity greater. The fig-
ures given show that twenty years ago
the maximum capacity of a freigflt car
was from twenty thousand to twenty-
four thousand {founds, while at present
it is from sixty thousand to eighty
thousand, some cars, in fact having
been constructed with a freight-carry-
ing capacity of one hundred thousand
pounds. In regard to engines, one of
it admits of the use of long connect-
ing rods, thus insuring easy running.
The boiler is constructed of Lowmoor
iron, and is fitted with an annular
water casing surrounding the fire box;
the tubes are solid drawn, of two
forms, viz., curved tubes arranged at
opposite sidisof the lire box, and in-
clined tubes arranged across the fire
box, all opening at both ends to the
water space. Good circulation is thus
ob am (1 and the steam is freely dis-
engaged over a large area of the water
space, reducing the tendency to prime.
[Steam can be raised from cold water
in iliree minutes, and to working press-
ure in six ti eight minutes from time
of lighting the fire.
A ^aw-SettinK Device.
With tbe device shown in the pict-
ure saw teeth of all ordinary sizes
may be accurately set to any desired
degree and the sharp point* of ihe
teeth be protected by a clearance n
the setting tool, by means of which
also tho truing up of the teeth to even
lengths and at right angles with the
blade may be readily effected. The
main blade of the tool is of tempered
sleel, and has in both edges notches of
various sizes and depths foe the differ
ent sizes of saw teeth to pass into
when the saw is being set, the bottom
portions of the notches being enlarged
to form a clearance for the sharp
points ot the teeth. A reversible and
adjustable cross bar is set tightly upon
the main blade by a thumbscrew, and
at each end of the bar is a thumb
screw, either one of which bears
against the side of the saw blade in
any other treatment. We see a great
many wind-puffed and weak-ankled
trotters from too much bandaging.
Blankets for horsos aro also un-
natural and unhealthy, although they
have to be used to a certain extent
in a cold climate. Too warm and ill-
ventilated stables and too many and
too heavy blankets have been fore-
runners of colds and much pneumo-
nia. and have doubtless caused tho
death of many valuable trotters.
When scratches appear put the
horse as near as possible in the con-
dition he would be running out to
grass (as scratches generally soon
disappear after a horse is turned to
pasture), by taking olf the heavy
grain rations, which have a tendency
to inflame the sjstem, giving simple
food of a laxative nature. Give
plenty of moderate exercise to pre-
vent the leg from swelling. Keep
the parts clean and soft and from
cracking by applying some simple
ointment Don't try to heal by out
ward applications while the horse is
standing day after day with his legs
swollen, if an animal has a out or
wound, put nothing on at
first, only carefully covering
it to exclude the air and
dust, and wait and see if it will heal
by first intuition, as it generally will
with a healthy animal, not leaving
much of a scar. Strong applications
produce irritation and inflammation
cutting time until later, hoping that
the grass will grow a little thicker,
and the crop will be heavier. This
is a delusion. Wo lose more by let-
ting it get a little riper than if we
cut it just before it gets so ripe.
Grass can stand being cut quite
green if it is properly cured after-
ward. Then wo are sure to get all
of the nutriment in tho barn along
with the hay. Green hay that is cut
early will ripen rapidly when spread
out in the field, and if certain parts
of it seem too groen for mowing
away it can be cocked up one or two
nights, and spread out in the day
time. It will not require many such
days to ripen it up, and got all the
moisture and heat out of it. Green
grass properly cured will not heat
and steam in the mow, but ripe
grass improperly cured wiU steam
anyhow. It is the curing, and not
the time of cutting, that causes heat-
ing.—American Cultivator.
K nil of Food for Cows.
Dairy cows require a highly nitro-
genous food. It is impossible as
practiced by grain farmers, to prop-
erly feed dairy cows in winter with-
out the purchase of concentrated
feeds. Hay, straw, stalks, etc., lack
protein, and. however combined in a
ration, must result not only in im-
perfect nutrition, but in waste of
food. The feeds that are^ especially
and then suppuration, and the result J valuable for dairy cows are corn

setting, the amount of the setting
being regulated by the adjustment of
the bar and one of the thumb screws
at its ends. The main blade also has
at one end a slot terminating in
space into which a fiat file may be
stuck, for filing evenly the points of
the teeth of large saw, while the
other or handle end of the blade has
a smaller slot, for truing the teeth of
small saws, a space being provided at
the bottom of the slot for the inser
tion of a three-cornered file. Both of
these slots are slightly wiilened near
the tile-receiving spaces to give room
for the set of the teeth.
Weight at Atmosphere.
Somebo ly has made the calculation
that, taking the quantities roughly
and :n round numbers, the atmosphere
weighs about a ton to every square
foot of the earth's surface; 25,000,000
tons per square mile, or 5,000,000,000,-
000,000 tons on the total of 200,000,000
is that
favorable. We cannot bo reminded
too often, in the treatment of man
or beast, to keep as near to nature
as possible, and to discard all advice
that is not supported by reason.
Growing Hogs as a Business.
Long ago successful hog growers
found that It was necessary to em-
ploy caroful methods in this business
as in any other farm economy. All
is not accomplished when you get a
pure breed and popular strain,
though this is essential to begin
with. there is little use of procur-
ing tho best unless one recognizes
the fact that good care has a much
bearing on success with them as it
has with beef cattle or dairy cows.
Dirty pons, and anything which
comes handy for foed, will never
bring a hog to a profitable market.
Do not make tho hog oat a bushel of
filth in order to procure his bushei
of grain. A clean feeding floor is not
difficult to have, and the grain
will go further and the health of the
hogs will be better for having it. Dish
water does not quench the thirst as
a good supply of pure cold water
will. Mouldy corn is not "just as
good" for the hogs as is sound corn.
A damp, musty pilo of straw does not
make them a good bed. A muddy
barnyard is not as good a run for
them as a hard, clean field. A pas-
ture filled with weeds, and not much
of anything else, will not keep them
in as good condition as a good clover I
field. It may be difficult to get some j

shown in harvesting grass as would
bo illustrated by the farmer sowing
beets, turnips, radishes and other
