Our Tobacco Production.

The fifteen States of kentucky, If
ginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Tennessee,
North Carolina, Maryland, Connecticut,
Missouri, Wisconsin, Indiana. New York,
Massachusetts,, Illinois, aud West Vir-
GINA, Ill the order named, still produce,
as in 1870, more than ninety-niue per
cent. of the tobacco Of the United States,
though it is reported in twenty-five other
States and six Territories. OF these lif-
teen, only Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and
Massachusetts, produce less than in 1870.
Kentucky produces thirty-siX per cent.
Of the total product of the country. Vir-
ginia holds the second place Pennsyl-
vania has advanced from the twelfth to
the third Wisconsin from the fifteenth
to the tenth and North Carolina, Con
necticut and New York have each gained
one point in tho rank OF tobacco States.
Those that have not refrigerated in rela-
tive production are Massachusetts,, Mary
land, West Virginia Indiana, Illinois,
Missouri aud Tennessee.
Tho apparent increase in production
during the decade is 50 per cent, which
eXnggeratcs the real advance in tobacco
cultivation, as the preceding census crop
was n small one and the fear Of taxation
may have operated to prevent full cen
sus OF tobacco III 1870 The crop re-
ported in 1880 was one Of medium pro.

A Curious Scientific Instrument.

A New York paper mentions curious
instrument invented by young Japan
ese engineer. 1t is familiar fact to
those acquainted with the problems Of
surveying and engineering, that the most
tedious calculations associated with pro-
fessional services Of that class arise from
the method Of triangulation now in use,
and from tho fatiguing and abstruse re-
lations Of sines and cosines which enter
into tho work. The necessity of an in
Itrument capable Of measuring these
relations with accuracy and Of expert
mentally solving the problems of trigo-
nOmetry arising in the course of q sur
ycy, has been long confessed by engi-
neers. The invention perfected by the
young Japanese engineer-not patented,
by the way-consists primarily of a steel
or brass plate, near me 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
semicircular plate, the circumference 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 a 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, a movable bar turns upon pivot
IN the same manner as the hands Of a
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 subdiyided. The quadrant and
semicircular plates are also 50 CON
structcd as 10 slide into the fixed bar,
thus forming q base.line Of any cOnven-
lent or assignable length. With this
such problems as those in
which one angle and the adjacent sides,
one side and the adjacent angles, 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 right
angle, and upon the semicircle il it is
obtuse, until the proper angle is regis
tered He then reyolye5 the second bar
until 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 ncces-
sary to subtract the sum Of the two
already ascertained from $50. In the
tho 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, aud tcdi-
GUS logarithms with which trigoaometry
ahOnnds.

The Mason d HamlIn Co.

At Milan, Italy, they have recently had
Musical Industrial Exhibition and
Competition, under royal patronage; at
which were collected and compared,
during period Of several months, the
largest number and greatest variety of
musical instruments, old and new ever
brought together. America was hon
ored in the award to the Mason & Hamlin
Organ Company Of the highest medal,
and the only one in this department.
Considering that $50 awards were given,
altogether, this distinction was very
marked. 1t is a continuation of the tri-
