The plaintiff sued for the value of

A Huge Electric Battery.

In erecting the great Statue of Lib
erty, two things had to be considered
that seem very tritling, and yet, if neg
lectcd, might destroy the statue in
one day, or cause it to crumble slowly
to pieces. One is the s5n, the other is
tie sea breeze. Either of these could
destroy the great copper figure, and
something must be done TO prevent
such disaster. The heat of the sun
would expand the metal and pull it out
of shape. precisely as it does pull the
Brooklyn Bridge out of shape every
day. The bridge is made in four parts,
and when they expand with the heat of
the sun they slide one past the other,
and no harm is done. The river span
rises and falls day and night, as heat
and cold alternate. The great copper
statue is likewise in two parts, the
framework of iron and the copper
covering; and while they are securely
fastened together they can move one
over the other. Each bolt will slip y
triilc as the copper expands in the hot
August sunshine, and slide back again
when the freezing winds blow and the
vast figure snrinks together in the
cold. Besides this. the copper surface
is so thin and elastic that it will bend
slightly when heated, yet keep its gen.
eral shape.
The salt air blowing in from the sea
has thin fingers and a bitter, biting
tongue. II il finds crack where it
can creep in letween the copper surface
and iron skeleton, there will be trouble
at once. These metals do not agree
together. and where there is salt moist
ure in the air they seem to quarrel
more bitterly than ever. 1t seems that
every joining of points of copper and
iron makes tiny battery, and so faint
shivers of electricity would run through
all the statue, slowly corroding and
eating it into dust. This curious,
silent. and yet sure destruction must
be prevented, and SO every joint
throughout the statue. wherever copper
touches iron, must be protected with
little rags stuffed between the metals
to keep them from quarrcling. 1t is
| the same wherever two different met
ais touch each other. Imagine what q
tremendous battery the Liberty would
make, with Its tons of copper surface
and monstrous skeleton of iron.

What the vassar Girls Eat.

After the discussion of the sanitary
condition of Vassar College and the
grounds surrounding it, the next fea-
ture, so far as health is concerned, is
the quality and quantity of food con-
sumed. Vassar College has fine gar
den, from which an abundant and per-
fectly fresh supply of vegetables is OBJ
tanned. Lettuce, spinach. and aspara-
gus are very much relished by the
students, especially in the early Spring.
10 meet this natural craving, great
quantities of the first are raised in hot
beds. Then follows spinach, which.
being sown in the Fall, natures with
the first warm days of Spring, and after
that, in quick succession, comes aspara-
gus, from beds covering more than an
acre of ground, capable of producing 20
10 100 punches daily. Besides these,
sufficient quantities of other vegetables
are raised from the acres of garden,
such as peas, potatoes, beets, carrots,
onions, parsnips, etc., to supply the
table the year round. Last year l, 800
bushels OF potatoes were raised.
Milk is another article of consump-
ton worthy of notice, not only because
OF the care taken to have it pure and
good, but because it is a staple article
on the table, and is furnished in such
abundance that it Is literally as free as
water. The quality is never below 10
per cent. cream. while sometimes it
runs rs high as Is per cent. cream, rs
ascertained by frequent careful tests.
The dairy, which contains from forty
10 fifty cows, is an interesting feature
in itself, and receives no little attention
from the large number of persons who
visit the college in the course of the
year. These cows are stabbed in neat
and airy stables. where they receive the
best attention and treatment, even to
be curried daily like horses. They are
principally carefully selected grade
cows. The Holstein strain is being
gradually introduced, as it has been
found that their milk, though unusually
abundant in flow, is exceedingly rich
in yield. Some choice thoroughbred
Holsteins are already in the herd, and
they are well worth inspection.
Great care is taken in the selection
of meats for the college, and none but
the best quality of such cuts as are
used in our frst-class hotels are ever
purchased, though mistakes sometimes
occur, as they now and then do in the
best regulated families. Every pre-
caution, however, is taken not only to
buy the best meats, but to have them
properly cooked by furnishing improved
ranges, charcoal broilers and steam
facilities and employing experienced
men cooks, who, during Summer vaca-
tons, find no difficulty in securing like
positions in the large hotels at Summer
resorts. -P0ughkeepste Eagle.
