The Writing MdchiRe.-The metalO-
graph is the name of an Instrument Just
invented by Bostonian, and is likely
TO be of service TO writers. 1t can do
things that the electric pen cannot ac-
complish. Its motive power is COM
pressed air instead of electricity. The
instrument is thus described: "It con-
Sists of a hardened steel point. which,
when in use, is moved up and down,
within metal tube, very rapidly by
means of cam and spring. The cam
is on a little metal shaft, which Is re-
volved by wheel, which is connected
by rubber tube with pair of bellows
under table, and can be worked by
hand or foot. Resting the instrument
perpendlcularly upon a thin sheet OF
metal, and setting the bellows in motion,
pei son may write with it upoh the
metal, making what appears To be a con-
tinuous line, but really Il dotted line.
The letters made are embossed upon the
metal. The sheet of metal is then to be
placed in a small press and covered by
Il suitable piece of carbon paper, and
over that again the paper to be written
upon is placed. The press is then set
in motion and copies of the writing or
composition can be produced very rap
idly. No liquid ink, acid or electricity
is used. The little machine can be used
in manifold writing. The metalograph
will also be of service in signing bank
checks and other Important documents,
for it will be impossible to alter or erase
signatures made with it.

of 1920 at 60 degrees Fahrenheit,

SCIENTIFIC.

The Sand BidSt.-Among the wonder
full and useful inventions of the times
is the common sand blast. Suppose you
desire to letter piece of marble for q
grave stone; you cover the stone. with a
sheet of wax no thicker than wafer,
then cut in the wax the name, date, etc.,
leaving the marble exposed. Now pass
it under the blast, and the wax will not
be injured ut all, but the sand will cut
letters deep into the stone. Or, IL you
desire raised letters, flower or other
emblem, cut the letters, flowers, ETC.,
In wax and stick them upon the stone
then pass the stone under the blast, and
the wax will cut II away. Remove the
wax and you have the raised letters.
Take piece of French plate glass, say
two feet by six, and cover with fine lace
pass 1t under the blast and not thread
of the lace Will be injured, but the
sand will cut deep into the glass
wherever 1t Is not covered by lace
Now remove the lace, and you have
every delicate and beautiful figure
raised upon the glass. In this way
beautiful figures of all kinds are cut in
glass, and at small expense. The
workmen can hold their hands under
the blast without harm, even when IL is
rapidly cutting away the hardest glass,
iron or stone, but they must look out for
finger nails, for they will be whitfield
off right hastily. Ii they put on steel
thimbles to protect. the nails, it will do
little good, Tor the sand will soon whit
tie them away, but If they wrap piece
of soft cottoa around them they are safe.
You will ut once see the philosophy of
it. The sand whittles away and destroys
any hard substance, even glass, but does
not affect substances that are soft and
yielding like wax, cotton or fine lace or
even the human hand.

GARGET.-An inquirer asks attention
10 the case of Jersey heifer, which,
previously in excellent health, was
found one evening with udder badly
swollen and quite teverish; refused her
feed of meal, and gave only three or
four gills of milk instead OF the usual
liberal mess. Several days treatment
with salts, ointment, poultices, etc., re-
duced swelling, but the milk in the
three affected quarters of the udder
continues thick and creamy, that from
the other teat is as good as ever. She
had no water except morning and night
on the way to and from pasture, which
was good and shaded. Should she be
regularly milked from all teats, ,or dried
of, and what Is the prospect for her
restoration after calving? This Is a
clear case of garget, and was induced
by the use of meal in connection with
going without water during the day.
Had the meal been omitted. or water
been plentifully supplied, the garget
would probably not haYe occurred. 1t
was the pain occasioned by the conges-
ton and swelling which stopped the
flow of milk, that oceasIoned the loss
OF appetite. As each quarter of the
udder is disconnected with the others
it is not strange that one or more quar-
ters should be affected aud another not.
The treatment was well adapted to the
case, the effects OF which will not be
likely to last beyond the next parturi-
tion, though such cases sometimes do.
There will be no advantage in milking
the three quarters any oftener than re-
quired TO prevent any increase OF swell
ling and Inflammation. which must be
cautiously guarded against. The milk
ing of the sound teat had better be con-
tlnued It'll near the next time of COM
ing in. The meal had better be omitted
ana some laxative food like bran or
roots used in ITS place, aud a full supply
OF water will be of the first importance.
Salt should also be supplied al libitum.
To four parts of salt add one of sulphur
and one of unleached wood ashes, if
they are at hand, and if not, add little
pulverized saltpetre in their place. The
diet and treatment should be such as
10 countcract any tendency TO inflanlma-
ton or swelling, otherwise suppuration
may result, which, when it occurs in
such cases, is often impossible to heal.
