Scientific American.
A cotton picker of simple and in,
expensive construction, and designed
to be operated by hand, has been
patented by Mr.. George N. Todd, of
Little Rock, Ark. The invention
consists of light frame with sides
converging at the front end and pro-
vided with canvass on the outside to
prevent the cotton boil from be.
ing thrown off and falling to the
ground. The machine is mounted
on wheels, and is propelled by
hand directly over the cotton
row, SO that each plant is brought
successfully between the inner sides
of the machine and in contact with
the cylinder rollers, which are rotatcd
by the revolution of the wheels of
the machine. The pickors are ar.
ranged horizontally one above the
other in two series on each side of
the passage way, and being geared
together by continuous train of
wheels are made to rotate toward
one another in pairs, so that the cot
ton will be efectually stripped from
the bush and lodged in spaces on
each side of tho case, whence it may
be removed and placed in baskets at
the end of each row.

WOODEN rs
How They Wear i'm Kansas City

Kansas City Journal.
"Gum wood blocks" is the last dodge
of the wood pavement fellows in st.
Louis, with which they propose to pave
Cass avenue. We had "bois dare blocks"
sung in our ears in Kansas City until tho
ring got the people asleep, and then they
put the cedar blocks. Tho street COM
missioner says, however, that gum block
paving in st. Louis rs they have it on
''some of the down town streets is about
played out" But these fellows are like
wise cute about it, and propose to put in
concrete foundation. That argument
seems to catch the unthinking. Juat let
us look at it for a moment from the
standpoint of common sense. The first
requisite of a roadway of any kind is, that
it should be water proof. Concrete un-
der q wood pavement makes it water
proof at the bottom instead of at the top
or q concrete foundation is n basin to
catch tho water for to stand in, absorb
and rot. Again a roadway should be
elastic to prevent too rapid wear. The
concrete is a solid rock under wood, and
any conclusion that comes from heavy or
rapid transit by wagons or horses feet is
felt by the yielding material, hence the
wood is worn faster with concrete under
than by tho old method as anybody can
see whom one of our 80 constructed wood
pavements is taken up. Sixth street
only a year down, has to be repaired al
ready. The facts are that we build them
to catch water to help rot them out fast,
and we put them where they canno,
yield, to be battered out by traffic. That
is Just what we are doing in the way OF
wood pavements in Kansas City. But as
all the hungry can't get cedar block con.
tracts, we suggest that some fellow start
''gum blocks" That sounds new and
will catch on, as tho boys say.

The Coos BAY RAiLRoAD.-To the
many inquiries which have baen pro-
pounded to us as to the prospects Of
building the railroad from Roseburg to
Coos Bay, we have to say that the
Oregon Southern Railway and Trans
portation Company have made com
plete survey of the line, and that the
San Francisco capitalists who are prin
cipally interested have received as
surances from the East that the full
amount of stock will be taken and the
work soon commenced. In this con-
nection we publish til following from
the Nautical Gazette, which v as pub
lished in the OregOpian of April 10th.
It says: "The Oregon Southern Rail
way and transportation Company OF
Coos Bay, is about contracting with
Goss IL Sawyer for two twelve hundred
ton steamers, the machinery to be built
at the Goss marine iron works, Bath,
Maine" " 1t is also rumered, brit this
is profound secret, that the Willard
com bination intend to build road be
tween the same points, but by more
circuitous route. We hope both roads
viii be built.
