An improved stanchion has been
invented that possesses at least ono
excellent feature. The frame is turned
on pivots. SO that the animal confined
can turn its head and neck with as

"A machine has been produced in
Hamburg for making "wood wool,''
suitable for littering purposes, and
claiming superior advantages oyer saw
dust. It converts chips of every kind
of wood used in, workshops into sort

Analysis proves that cotton stems
contain more phosphate, OF lime and
phosphate of potash than the seed
With this fact in view Mr.. Edward At
kinson suggests that the stems be
ground and. mixed with cotton-seed
meal to correct the over-richness OF the
seed. d.--DetrOit Post. gFErYfes q
. Glass spinning and glass flower
manufacture is a very extensive branch
of the Austrian glass industry, 1t IS
now so developed that . petroleum
flame gives some 1850 yards of glass
thread every minute, that are woven
not only for glass cloths, etc., but also
for watch chains, brushes, etc. -.
"A, novel invention has recently been
tested. 1t is an electric, bell cord which
conveys signals to q railroad engineers
cab by mere touch. 1T can be attached
to freight train, where it would give
the alarm to both engineer and conduc-
tor, should the train break, thus ena-
bling him to prevent serious accidents.
The invention is the work of a tele-
graph line repairer.-C Chicago Journal.

move quickly herself, she seems to be
the home of motors. Mr.J, r. Blum
enberg (the purchaser, mot the inventory
is now dazing the Philadelphia mind
with miracle ofingenuity, which takes
the wind completely out Of Keeiy's
sails, and will enable AN ordinary house

phide of carbon is the main material
used.-N.. r. San. ,t.s..-.-s s'@ :.
"A French photographer claims the
authorship of an invention, that will take
accurate Impressions of the motions ofa

The long-desired motor for small
machines has, according to . foreign
journal, at last appeared. It is adapted
to driving sewing machines, .watchma-
kers' tools. and similar light machines,
and consists of a seat supported on .
rack which, slowly ydistendingu under the
weight of the operation sitting son it.
transfers its motion through gearing
contained in the supporting box, to the
band pulley from which the machine is
driven; the lever serves to lock the seat
in any position, and slight pressure Of
the feet upon the treadle raises the scat
again, without the operator having to
get up, and without stopping the motor.
The treadle is adjustable, SO as TO suit
the weight of the person at, work, and
the speed can be varied to suit the re-
quirements of the work by the back
pressure of the treaxile. While aJsewing
machine requires 100 to $50 movements II
of the treadle per minute, this motor
requires only four or Eve. aIs4e39ttGa ea
