Death of Thaddeus Fairbanks,

Thaddeus Fairbanks, the Inventor of the
scales that bear his name, died on Mon
day, at his home in st. Johnsbury, VT,
aged 80 years. Mr.. Fairbanks, when a
young man, was partner with his broth
er, the late Governor Erastus Fairbanks,
in country store in Northern Vermont,
and the difficulty they experienced in
weighing the bulky materials they bar
tered in is said to have led to the inven-
ton of the platform scales, in the manu-
facture of which the brothers embarked
under the familiar name of E. & T. Fair
banks & Co. From the most modest be-
ginnings this mandatory grew, under
the superintendent of Thaddeus Fair
banks, to be one of the largest in Yer
mont, and the reputation for accuracy
which the Fairbanks scales bear is said
to have been earned by the conscientious
labor of their inventor. Although he be-
came very wealthy, he always chung to the
simple and unassuming habits of his
youth, and he will be longest remembered
in his home for his deeds of Christian
charity.
The emperor of Austria some years ago
knighted Mr.. Fairbanks in honor of his
invention, and he was known abroad as
Sir Thaddeus Fairbanks.

SIMULTANEOUSLY with the intelligence
that slavery has been abolished in Corea
comes the news of emancipation of the
Russian serfs. It has been a common be-
lief that all the serfs were emancipated
long ago, but by an odd oversight certain
religious serfs were not included in the
ukase, and two of them retained their
slaves to the present time. The Brother
hood of the Holy Sepulchre till recently
owned about 5000 on their estates in the
Caucasus and an order of Mount Sinai
held over 5000 in the same neighborhood.
As soon as the Russian governments at
tention was called to the facts, these serfs
were at once liberated, it being under
stood that Russia tolerates no slavery,
save in Siberia.

which is eight inches thick and weighs
twenty-three pounds. 1t is the largest
volume issued by the patent Office, and
probably the largest ever published in
this country. But $50 certified copies of

Using the Heat of the Sim


Numerous attempts have been made to
utilize the heat of the sun as source of
power and warmth. Several solar engines
have been constructed, among which that
of Ericoson's is the most notable. This is
constructed on the principle of concave
mirror which concentrates the heat of
the sun upon small steam boiler placed
in its focus, and in pleasant weather it
works fairly well. Recently the heat of
the sun has been applied to the warm
ing of bu1ldinge, by an apparatus invent
ed by Professor E. S. Morse of the Pea
body Academy of Science, at Salem. 1t
consists of a shallow box, the bottom of
which is composed of corrugated iron
and the top of glass. This is placed out
side the building in such position that
the sun shines directly upon it. The heat
rays of the sun pass through the glass
and are absorbed by the iron heating it
to quite high temperature. By sys-
tenn of ventilation a current of air is
passed through the apparatus and into
the room to be heated. 1t was found
that on pleasant days the air was heated
to about 80 degrees in passing over the
iron and served to materially increase the
temperature of the large museum hall of
the academy. The chief difficulty con-
nected with all devices of this kind is,
that they are available only in fair
weather and during the numerous cloudy
days of our climate other ways of warm
ing must be provided. But in connec-
ton with the usual means of heating
Professor Morse's apparatus may serve
a good purpose and effect saving in the
amount of fuel usually consumed.
