A Curious Scientific Instrument.

A New York paper mentions curious
instrument invented by young Japan
ese engineer. 1t is q familiar fact to
those acquainted with the problems OF
surveying and engineering, that tine most
tedious calculations associated with pro-
fessional services of that class arise from
the method OF triangulation now In use,
and from the fatiguing and abs;ruse re-
lations of sines and cosines which enter
into the work. The necessity of an in
strument capable of measuring these
relations with accuracy and Of expert
mentally solving the problems of trigo-
nometry arising in the course of q sur
vey, has been long confessed by engi-
neers. The invention perfected 10y the
young Japanese engineer-nOt patented,
10y the way--consists primarily OF steel
or brass plate, near the bottom Of which
is graduated bar which may represent
the base of any given triangle. The bar
Is graduated INTO ten equal parts with
extreme accuracy, and these sections are
again graduated until linear register of
the utmost conceivable fineness is pro-
duced. At one end of the bar Is fixed a
semlcircular plate, the rcumference OF
which is graduated into degrees. min
utes, and seconds, and the base Of which
is parallel with the bar itself. At the
other end is placed quadrant, or quar-
ter of circle, graduated in the same
manner. At the center of each of the
circles of which these plates form sec
tons, movable bar turns upon pivot
In the same manner as tbe hands OF
clock. Each of these bars is graduated
into ten equal parts of the same length
as those of the bases, and each part Is
finely subdivided. The quadrant and
semicircular plates ale also SO con-
structed as to slide into the fixed bar,
thus forming base-line of any conven-
lent or assignable length. With this
instrument such problems as those in
which one angle and the adjacent sides,
one side and the adjacent ang es, or one
angle and the opposite side are given, to
find the other factors, may be performed
instantaneously without calculation.
Having for example, one angle and the
adjacent sides given, the engineer re-
wolves the graduated bar upon the quad
rant If the angle is less than n right
angle, and upon the semicircle if it Is
obtuse, until the proper angle is regis
tered. He then revolves the second bar
until q triangle IS formed whose sides
are exactly proportionate to those given,
and reads off the second angle from the
plate. To find the third it is only neces
sary to subtract the sum of the two
already ascertained from 1870. In the
meantime, the ratio of the third side to
the other has already been registered
upon the second movable bar. The
problem is consequently solved without
reference to the sines, cosines, and tedi-
Gus logarithms with which trigonometry
| abounas.

Two Tenors and a High c.

A story is told by Music, to the effect
that Provost, on the afternoon before he
was to appear as Arnoldo in William
Tell, went into beer saloon for mo-
ment and was seen by Campanini, who
rushed after him, and, patting him on
the back, said "Caro, Provost, there
should be no jealousy between US. Let
US he friends" Provost was delighted.
and asked Campanini to take drink.
Campanini took beer, and then treated
Provost six times in rapid succession,
complimenting him generously. That
evening Provost cracked ON his high @,
aud Campaniui was in the lobby, grim
ming like Cheshire cat. The beer had
done its work.

The usual charge for consultation is
fifty cents or dollar; but the price is
as elastic "a the seer's conscience. and
can be stretched indefinitely. The trade
of fortune-telling is now monopolized by
women. Some years ago there were a
few men in the business. They called
themselves PSYCHOLOGISTS, and had an as
tonishing kind of intimacy with the
stars. But the women now have the
field to themselves. The impression
that all their dupes are of the servant
girl class is a mistake. A great many
wealthy ladies patronize them. It is not
by any means uncommon to- hear woman

New Football Rnl0a.

In view OF the fact that the leading
football teams Of this country are get.
ting the science Of the game down TO
such fine point that no one desires to
see them play, the Acta. after mature
deiberation and at great expense, has
framed the following rules, which it is
hoped the intercollegiate Football As
ISOLATION will adopt:
The ground must be $50 feet in length
and 100 feet in width. For absolute
safety the players should be placed at
least mile apart.
The riot shall last an hour and half.
with intervals at every half hour, of ten
minutes each. for drinks. At the end of
the game Il any OF the play ers shall be
uninjured, innings Of fifteen minutes
each shall be played until he is killed or
entirely disabled. q
A match shall be decided by the num-
Der of bones broken. One dead man
shall count according to his bones.
Two teeth knocked out shall count as
one bone, and shall count for the side not
owning the teeth. The referee shall
promptly disqualify men with false
teeth. ht'A
If one of your opponents has posses
sion of the ball, knock him down and
take the ball away from him. This shall
be decided safety knock down.
Four safety knock downs shall be
equivalent to one funeral, or dead man,
which will count as one goal.
Tripping up shall not be allowed in
this game. 1t is not sufficiently pam
full way of upsetting man.
A drop kick is made by kicking ore of
your opponents after he has dropped
The captains of the respected sides
shall wrestle before the commencement
of the match. The winner shall have the
option of kicking. or being kicked. The
former, by experts, is considered prefer
able.
A funeral may be obtained by any kind
Of kick; to avoid unpleasant complica-
ton it is better for the kicker to be
larger than the kicked.
When funeral shall have been OBJ
tanned, the side which owns the corpse
shall set up the bier.
A fair catch is q catch direct from n
kick, or knock by one of the opposite
side only, provided the catcher has a
mark of the heel on the spot where lie
has been caught.
The bull is dead when the player car
rying it shall be knocked down. In some
instances the rule may apply TO the
player.
y A player may get up an bawl whenever
he has been rolled on or pounded in a
scrimmage. ''--
1t is lawful for any one who bawls to
run away, and if he does 80, it is called
q run.
A tackle is where holder of the ball
is jumped on by the whole of the oppo-
sitlon team.
A maui in goal is when the holder OF
the ball is tackled inside the goal line. or
is being tackled Immediately outside, is
stepped on and dragged through the
mud and spun on his head until he OF
the opposition succeed in touching the
ball down.
A man who is "on-side" con not be
"off side" The same rule applies to
the off -uns.
A man to be off-side must be Oh the
side that is off.
A safety touchdown shall consist In
laying the other fellow out. III order to
keep yourself in good condition.
The Actd thinks that, in case these
rules are adopted in the coming year
football will attain n success heretofore
| unprecedented.
