WORTHY OF ATTENTIoN.-An Eng
lishman with rheumatic gout found
this singular remedy cure for his all
ment " He insulted his bed from the
door by placing under each post a
broken off bottom of a bottle" He
says the effect was magical that he
had not been free from rheumatic

application of the insulators. awe

The Scientific American, "of a patent
obtained through this office for ply
sician, some twelve or more years ago,
which created considerable interest at
the time. The patent consisted in
placing glass cups under the bed-posts

the patentee claimed to have effected
some remarkable cures by the use of
his remarkable insulators. A gentle
man in this city who has been afflicted
with rheumatic gout. or gOuty rheu-
matism, one or the other or both com

A CONVENIENT WAY TO MEASURE
LAND.

A CONVENIENT WAY TO MEASURE
fFfF LAND.
tits frequently desirable to measure
given plat of ground or portion OF
field, and q simple method, such as
the following for which we are IN
debted to an exchange. will be of use
to manv of our readers. Surveyors
are not always ct convenient distance
to attend to such little jobs, and even
when they do reside in the Immediate
vicinity one does net always care TO
incur the expense incident TO such q
small Job. III the lines are already es-
tabIished the plat can be measured
with sufficient accuracy for practical
parposes by means of neat rod pole,
made as follows: Procure stick of
pine, Whitewood, basswood, Or almost
any other timber, one and a-half inch
ea square and sixteen and one-haif
feet Tong. Dress each end, tapering
from the middle, SO that the pole will
be one and a-half inches square at the.
middle. and about half an inch square
at each end. Such pole will be light
and quite stiff Now graduate one
side with the marks representing feet
I and inches, and graduate another side
to indicate surveyors links. A pole
s one rod in length must be equal 10
twenty-five links. To divide one side
correctly let mechanics compass be
adjusted so that the points will divide
the distance into twenty-five equal
spaces or links. A line can be meas
ured with such pole nearly as aecur-
ately as with a surveyors chain.
3tLtNow. then, il a person does not un-
derstand how to multiply chains and
links, let him compute the measure
ment by square feet. In one acre.
there are $50 square feet. Amy in
teIIigent school boy can measure the
length and breadth of square plat by
multiplying the one by tue other, and
dividing the product by 1850. which
will give the number of square feet
representing the fraction OF an acre.
If il is desirable to measure triangu-
lar plat, two sides of which lie at right
angles, measure these two sides, null
'tiply the distance IN feet one by the
other, and divide that product by two,
which will indicate the number OF
square feet, by 1850, and the quotient
will represent the number of acres
