A History of MOwing-Machincs.

The oldest moving machines, though very
rude, were used by the Gauls. A cart, hav-
ing blades arranged in front, was pushed
forward into the grain by oxen hitched be-
hind, and thus cut off the heads. A system
Of six rotating scythes was made by Joseph
Boycc in 1893, and an attempt to use the
same principle was made by Gompretz and
Mason in 1852, In lSll-ISl5, Smith, of
Deans, once brought out machine in which
a short vertical revolving cylinder carried
knife on its lower end, but all these rotating
machines have proved impracticabe. Rob
ert Meares, in Frome, in Somersetshire, es-
tablished. in 1900, the shear principle as
the only practicable one. Salmon, in Wo-
burn, in 1907 built machine with row
Of blades and fingers moving over them, and
also applied the reel The Scotch parson,
Patrick Bell Of Torforshinc. in 1926. and
William Manning, of Planiield. n. j., in
1889 We're the founders Of the present style
Of machines. Manning was the first to at
tach the draught at the side of the machine,
all others previously having been pushed
from behind. Obcd lIussey of Cincinnati,
attached the side platform and slit-tinger.
Mccormick of Rockbridge, Va, now of
Chicago, in 1895 improved the Manning and
Hussey machine, and the appearance of these
at the London exposition, in 1851, was the
signal for their introduction into general
use.
The oldest threshing- machine Except the
antiques) was made by Michael Menzes, in
1872, or perhaps at the same time by Tull,
consisting OF a rotating cylinder with fails.
Several Others followed shortly, some like
lourmill, and in 1872, Willoughby, Of Bed
ford, made one like that of MenzieS, which
Won Thaer brought to Germany, and which
served asa modei for the Mecklenburg thrcsh-
er. The machine Of James Wardropp, of
Ampthell in Virginia, is on similar prn-
cple, only the beaters are sticks moving up
and down. Finally in 1885, Andrew Me-
ikle, Of Tyningham. East Lothian, laid the
foundation of the present form, by using Il
dram with four beaters parallel to its axis,
that carried the grain between itself and a
concaye, furnished with similar rods. An
American. named Moftitt, in 1854, substitut-
ell spikes for the rods, though Menzies' ma
chine adheres to the old system

Devastation by Wild Elephants.

Attention has been drawn in the Madras
presidency to the increasing number Of wild
elephants in certain unclcarcd districts, and
the dcyaStationS caused by their IncurSions
into the cultivated area. In Il recent iu-
stance, a Mahommedan yillager, at Ottacal
was trampted to dcatr in his own hut by
one of these huge beasts, who attacked it or
broke through it in panic; but in the
southeastern part of Mysore, bordering on
the elevated range known rs the Beigiri-
ranGam Hills, we read of very decisive
check being Indicted on their rnyagcs through
the cxcrtiolS of MIR. SanderSon, the SUPER
intendent of canals for the district. This
gentleman appears to have studied to some
purpose the process long used for the cap
ture of the Ceylon elephants by gradually
hcmning them into n kraal or inc'Osure.
Having procured the assent OF the Chief
Commissioner, Sir X. Meade, and the as
siSlancc of the best sportsmen near, he set
deliberately to work to prepare sort of
trap. fifteen acres in extent in the bed Of the
Ilunhole river using the perpendicular sides
of the channels drawn from it for most of
the incloSure. Into this Il large herd was
driven by the sportSmcn, assisted by bands
Of villagers. Once confined thus far, and
prevented from breaking out at the weak
points by day by watchmen, and by night
by large fires, smaller timber enclosure
wa carefully prepared at one angle, and the
herd finally forced into it, with the loss of
only one shot-a large female, which was
apparently determined that her calf should
not be entrapped. A gate Of large trees, cat
away ard dropped behind, now closed the
opening. and it was found that over fifty of
the int VLting strangers We're thus netted.
The application of the usual subduing pro-
cess of starvation, and the loan Of Il party
of the Raiah's tame elephants by that
princes guardian, Colonel Malleson, did the
rest, and the captives we're successfully be-
ing tanned separately.

The Clepsydra in Rome.

1t is not very often, in these progressive
days. that we find the ancient methods of
measuring time in actual employment. The
sun dial, it is true, occasionally serves as an
ornament to some country lawn, but little
dependence is placed on its slowly creeping
shadows The hour glass bt4s disappeared
from the pnlpits OF the parN.ns; for twenty
minute sermons, instead Of many-headed
dissertations prolonged through hears, are
now sufficient for the spiritual needs of their
llockS. The divided candle exists ouly in
history, and is linked with the story of good
King Alfred. Bat the water clock remains;
not in this country. to be sure, but where it
was used Il thousand years ago.
Julius Caesar, tradition tells us, found by
its aid that the Summer nights in Britain
are not the same length as those in Italy.
Cicero relates that the length of speeches
made by senators was regulated by clepsydra
kept in The senate chamber; and the same
parliamentary practice, which now holds i'll
our own legislative halls, Of a member yield
ing the floor for certain number of minutes
ol his time to another speaker then existed,
for a grave senator often gave 50 much Of
the water as remained in his clep>ydra to II
colleague, who was thus enabled, to obtain
a longer or an extra water time for his speech
than would have been otherwise at his com
mand.
The water is led by pipes to Il reservoir in
which a constant Level is maintained, and
from an orliicc in which the stream escapes
into Il receptacle divided into two compart-
ments. Below the latter is an arrangement
in the form Of an anchor, the carved portion
OF the latter serving As Il rocker on which
the divided receptacle yibratcS. This o>cit-
lation takes place under the entering stream !;
50 that WREN one compartment is carried
down by the weight OF water within, the
second is raised to receive its supply. A
pendulum, heating seconds, is suspended
from two springs, parallel to and cquldistant
from the resting point of the rocker, and
regulates the movement Of the receiver.
The springs are prolonged in the direction
OF tangents to the curve of the anchor arms
and maintain the pendulum in motion with
Il constant force. 50 that each oscillation of
the latter corresponds to one Of the rocker
