We dropped into the dental office of
Drs. Crawford & Townsley, in Downey
Block, yesterday, and inspected their
conveniences for making a man feel
easy while they take his head to
pieces. Since the days of the Inquisi-
ton, more polite inventions for the
purpose have never been made than
may there be seen, and enjoyed too, if
you have liking for it. A chair,
bracket and lathe, or "engine," as it
is called, of the Morrison patent, are
triumphs of ingenuity adapted to the
convenience of the patient and the
dentist. The bracket can be shifted to
any required height or position, al
ways retaining its proper level and
never spilling the elegant array of In
struments which are 80 pleasant for
the eye to rest upon while one under
goes the dental operation. A spirit
lamp is also embodied in the arrange
ment, for use In the DOCTORS manipu-
lations. The chair can be made to ac-
cOmmOdate the smallest child or the
largest man; raised, lowered, thrown
back or shifted to any required posi-
ton. But the lathe Is the most in
genious contrivance of all. 1t is
turned by pedal, and by a system of
bands and pulleys revolves a small
shifting spindle, by which the operator
excavates or polishes tooth with the
greatest ease. To be appreciated,
however. the apparatus must be seen,
and we advise the curious to call at
the Doctors office and note for them
selves how nicely the thing can be
done,

a newspaper in miniature-about the
size Of two postage stamps, and quite
a curiosity in its way-comes to US
with request for an exchange. We
place the Tribune on our list very
gladly, extending helping hand to
its young editor and publisher, Master
Earle A. Wolcott. He has assumed
the professional harness at an early
age, and needs the encouragement Of
of his elder brothers of the press. We
see that Master Wolcott has just made
hi, first entry into school and from his
large experience he thus discourses
editorially: "A wise man long ago as
serted that there is nothing new under
the sun. Well, there was to us this
week, when we attended school for the
first time. We had some misgivings,
but the avenue opened before us, and a
voice whose authority we never ques-
toned hade us walk therein, and we
walked. 1t bids fair to be pleasant
experience, and should you ask me I
should tell you that next to being in
structed at home by the most patient
of mothers, the Santa Barbara College
is the best place in America"

HOW TO FILTER WATER.

Professor Bischof, of Glasgow, is reported
to have improved his well-known invention,
and now filters water for drinking purposes
through spongy iron and pounded limestone.
The iron is placed in the upper movable
chamber OF an earthenwaye filter, and pound
ed limestone is arranged in separate layer
below. The iron is produced In a powdery.
spongy state by the reduction of an ore
without fusion. aftorthe extraction on sui
pher and copper by hea.. It removes all
albuminoid and nitrogenized compounds,
and also lead communications from the water.
and trace of iron taken up by the water
is separated by its subsequent passage
through the limestone. 1t is stated that
one charge of the material thus described,
and costing only about twenty-five cents,
secures efficient fltering for ten gallons OF
water per day during 300 days.
