An Adding Machine.

c. G. SpaIding. who keeps books for
Day a. johnson, says the Springfield
(Mass.) Republican. has perfected Il
machine that is designed to aid brother
bO0kkeepers or accountants in running
up long lines OF figures. He has been
at work on the invention since 1873,
and had the thing patented something
like year ago. The machine is en-
cased in a wooden box about eight
inches square and three inches deep.
and, lifting the cover, the interior Is
seen to hold an enameled white surface.
on which are two dials, and which
shows the brass keyboard i'm the lower
left hand corner The larger dial Of
the two is on the left of the machine,
and is divided into one hundred sec
tions. The rim Of the smaller dial Is
likewise cutinto twenty sections. A little
finger play on the brass keyboard
makes the object Of the dials and the
reason Of the pointers names quickly
understood.
The nine keys on the board arc num-
bered from one TO nine and are placed
in regular order, but also in two rows.
2, 4. and being above and the odd
numbers below. The key is Il brass up
right, and as the finger draws on it a
spring allows it to slip back toward the
lower end of the box. The pulling Of
each key ON the board sends the unit
pointer along on its journey around the
dial as many points us there are units
in the number of the key. Pull the .
key and the dial set goes to Q. Pull
the same key again and the unit pointer
moves to IS. Pull the |, 2, and KEYS
now and the pointer goes consecutively
with hop, skip, and jump to "a.
When the unit pointer, keeping up its
agile atlctics, has reached its starting
point again. there is quick little mo.
ton on the right hand dial. The
pointer then has .sdotted and gone one.
The machines internal clockwork Is
more accurate than human head can
hope to be. It isn't troubled with
malaria, nor is it ever larger in the
morning than it was the night before.
All the accountant has to do Is to run
his eye up and down the columns, pull
ing each respective key as he reaches
the corresponding figure. A day is
sufficient in which to learn the key
board, and the motion of the hand
quickly becomes almost Involuntary.
The expert can run the figures in his
head and on the keyboard simulta-
neously, thus proving his work by
one trip up or down the column. Car
rying is performed BY setting the pointer
at the number to be carried. To set the
unit pointer all that il necessary is to
hold down key and turn &c pointer
forward to number one less than the
one carried. On releasing key the
pointer is on the desired number. The
hundred pointer can be moved III either
direction. The hand easily operates the
nine keys thus: Nos. |, 2. and 5 with
the first finger, and with the second,
8 and Z with the third, and 8 with the
fourth. The inventor claims for the
machine unerring accuracy and SUR
prising rapidits. He says an expert
can add 20 figures II minute with 1t.

the state is now well known. Much
less damage was done to orange and
lemon trees than was at first supposed.
On Indian river perhaps none. Itrans.

days before the freeze, and nearly all
have put forth strong buds.
From one-third TO one-half the or.
anges were frozen and partially spoiled.
The balance are being shipped at good
prices. Farther north the fruit was
frozen and nearly all spoiled. At St
Augustine, Jacksonville and Palatks
temperature was eight to ten degrees
lower than here. Still large bearing
trees were little injured there. Bios
som buds already show, and it is
thought next seasons crop may equal
the last. Reliable statistics and esti-
mates make the LOSE on oranges alone

he was called. He was a remarkably
busy man. When Madison was only
a little village, with one small church
building, Squire Seymour was for
years fireman, sexton, bell-ringer and
general manager. If there was a
public meeting of any kind, he was
the first man on hand; If an election,
he was the first to vote. He was q
lawyer by profession. and in early
times did considerable business. How
1t came to pass that Squire Seymour
gained such an extensive acquaintance
in the state. About twenty-five years
ago he had a stroke of paralysis,
which afterwards disabled him from
active business. In this invalid con-
dition he devoted his time in making
the acquaintance of people who came
to Madison on business or for pleasure.
He did not stand on the ceremony of
introduction, but continued to make
himself known without the usual for
mality. In this way he became the
most widely known man in Wisconsin.
Squire Seymour will be missed. On
every pleasant day for many years he
was seen strolling in the capitol park,
and making new acquaintance.

Hon. G. G. Williams, ex-membsr of
Congress from this district, has been
giving lecture, entitled" The ms and
Outs of Congress" in various cities in
the Northwest the present winter.
The papers where the lecture has been
given speak of it in terms of unqualified
praise. Last week, Wednesday even
ing, he lectured in Whitewater. The
Register Of that city, in noticing the
lecture, says:
1.-THE lecture was an excellent one
in all respects, and closely approaches
the best idea of what popular lecture
should he. The subject was one of
real interest, the literary quality was
excellent, the manner of delivery was
pleasing and impressive, and from first
to last the nearer was amused, inter-
ested and enlightened. The lecture is
far above the average platform pro-
duction, and cannot fail to be received
with great favor wherever given.
We regret that those who have taken
the matter of lectures in hand did not
secure the services of Mr.. Williams in
this city.

A FREEZE OUT.

over In the treasury a story Is told
at the expense of high official. The
air in the room was rather chilly. but
the clerks were found busily at work
in their light Office coats. They had
warmed the bulb of the thermometer
up to 75, and awaited developments.
The official remarked that it was cold
and shivered and looked uneasily abo ut
the room. A clerk leisurely glanced at
the thermometer and said it was very
comfortable. The official looked and
saw and wondered.
81 think I must have chill" he
said, but went to his desk.
Pretty soon the clerk in front of
him deliberately pulled off his coat
and resumed work.
II am sure l must have a chill,'
again remarked the official, but every
clerk had his nose down to business
and hadn't time to answer.
GOOD heavens" exclaimed another
In a loud aside, pulling off his coat.
The official, still muffied in his over
coat and shivering, went over again
and looked at the thermometer. A
clerk had in the meantime applied the
lighted end of cigar to the bulb and
the mercury had jumped to 80.
Dear me-" said the official, Pm
afraid I'm going to be sick" After
little he pulled on his gloves and start
ed for home. took quinine and whisky
and went to bed. When he returned
to the Office next day the story met
him in the corridor. He says it is all
right; he is well and the fellows who
played it on him are sneezing their
heads Off Washington letter.

THE SILVER QUESTION.

This question is one exciting much
interest in Congress. and especially in
Che Pacific States, where silver is a ma
tive production. There was an expec-
tation on the part Of many that Con
gress would order suspension of sill
yer coinage, chiefly because it incon.
venienced the people by driving bank
currency out of circulation to make
room for silver coin. Bank paper has
not only equal value Of silver, but has
the advantage of much greater conye-
nience. The argument which attempts
to prove that paper is not money is OF
no practical Importance, since paper,
for all commercial purposes, answers as
a substitute for coin. Sufficient has
been developed in Congress at this SEES.
sion to warrant the conclusion that the
suspension of the coinage Of silver will
not be ordered, nor is it certain that
there will be limitations to the coinage
directed. Some of the members OF
Congress from this state have been un.
derstood in favor of suspension Of fur
Their coinage for the present, but they
may not be so now, as the silver advo.

We are indebted to r. F. Roberts fol
quite full, report of the State farm
ers' meeting at Madison last week
Mr.. Roberts followed up the Farmers
Institute meetings in this part of the
state, and took an active part in the
deliberations and discussions, as he did
also in the State meeting at Madison.
His purpose appears to have been to
defeat the plan proposed for the estab.
lishment of State Agricultural Uni
versity on an extended scale, which he
believes would cost the state million
Of dollars to complete according to the
original design. Mr.. Roberts is not op.
posed to institutions of learning of a
high order, but believes the one con-
templated is altogether unnecessary, as
the state has already university, with
all the needful equipments for agricul-
tural studies. Without having given
the suhject'of the proposed agricultural
university special attention, We believe
the position taken by Mr.. Roberts cor
Yect, as he appears to have brought the
majority to his views in the meetings
where the subject was presented.

OLEOMARGARINE BUTTER.

Congress has taken in hand the
manufacture of oleomargarine but
ter, which will prove much more eff
fective way of disposing Of this
troublesome matter than the passage
of resolutions by Dairymen's Associa-
tions. However wise may be recon-
mendations and resolutions adopted
by dairymeD, they are only expressions
of opinion, and have not the force Of
law. So strong is the temptation to
manufacture spurious articles for
market that stringent laws are neces-
sary to prevent authorizations. A bill
is ready to be reported in the House,
requiring that all packages of artificial
butter shall be stamped by officers or
agents of Internal Revenue, which
will be the highest authority of its
character. II will be required that a
tax of one cent per pound shall be paid
before taking from the mandatory.
Oleomargarine butter, which is palm
ed off in the markets for dairymen's
butter, is produced in manufacturing
establishments for that purpose, and
we believe has not been undertaken
on a small scale. The consumers Of
butter who now purchase in the gem
eral market will know after passage
of this law what kind OF stuff is put
on their tables.
