A Machine for Paying Money.

General Harrison, Inspector of the
money order branch of the Post Office
Department, Is in town for the purpose
of making arrangements to put into
the post-office here machine for pay
ing money into the post-oiiice. 1t has
been found that the greater the num-
ber of persons who handle money the
greater the risk of loss. In the ex-
tensive operations OF the postal order
system it has been necessary for sew
eral persons in large office to receive
or pay out money. This machine trans
fers all the responsibility to single
cashier. 1t consists of small electric
motor which furnishes power to run
continuous belts from clerks issuing
orders or examining orders TO be paid,
to the cashier, who pays the money.
The clerk making an order puts it upon
the endless belt which carries it to the
cashier, who receives the money. The
clerk receiving an order for payment
satisfies himself as to the authenticity
OF the person presenting IT, has him
sign the paper and sends his name and
the amount to the cashier. who asks
theperson appearing to state the order.
his name and the amouLv, which being
correctly given, the money is paid over.
The system has been introduced only
in the larger cities, and this is the first
where an electric motor will be used.

AN INGENIOUS DEVICE.
How the Dials OF Tower Clocks Are Mad
Visible at Night.

How the Dinls OF Tower Clocks Are Made
Visible at Night.
Clockmaker Doray. in Havre, France,
has constructed very ingenious device
in order to make the figures ON tower
clock dials appear white upon dark
ground as well by day As by night.
The dial is made of plain, transparent
glass, and the figures are painted on it
with white paint. The hands are made
of.white china glass. Behind the dial is
a black b. ciground. From the street
the dial seems to be black, and the
figures and hands are white as milk.
At night the light is thrown upon
the dial by strong reaectors from the
bottom of the clock room, so that the
rays are thrown through the glass dial
toward the sky. No direct rays can
reach the eyes OF spectators below.
The semi-transparent figures and
hands receive and divide the rays Of
light In such way that the figures, as
well as the hands. show themselves to
observers below In clear light upon a
dark ground. At the Theological
school In Glashutte. Germany, simi-
lar construction may be seen in the

feet off them shorter, squarer figure
with bent head, standing listening,
motionless as a statue, against the
evening sky-just standing, listening.
For moment the tableau is accent
uated by the dull glow in the West.
Then the warm flush fades. The short,
square figure moves slowly away across
the darkening meadow, still with bent
head and resolute, dogged shoulders,
| but with curious unevenness OF gait
and then Tammy bursts out crying,
| and clinching her fist shakes it furi-
ously at the distant, gold-haired girl.
"She has broken my heart" the bad,
false girl!' she sobs wildly. "She
has broken our Bingo's heart" And
unrestrained by Joe's boyish instinc-
tive Mind your own businessl' she
rushes after the big brother for whom
her little loyal heart is hotly burning.
"Bingo! Bingo! she cries, "Bingo!
Bingo! wait for mel"
sometimes stumbling slightly, but
never raising his eyes, and uncon-
sciously obeying the instinct of all
wounded creatures by following the
track which leads in long undulations
across the meadows and homeward
"Bingo. Bingo!" sounds the pas
sionate wailing cry behind him. AT
last it strikes upon his ear. He turns
and stops short. But though his lips
move, no sound escapes from them.
80. Bingo, | do love you so much!
And am so tired'' Silently he lifts
her in his strong arms and stumbles
onward again, with her arms clasped
around his neck, and the childish sob
bing iteration, "Bingo! Bingo!' in his
ears. And at last they reach the stile
beneath the haystack.
He pauses for a moment. But she
divines his thought, and begins to cry
again from sheer misery and sympathy.
"Never mind Tammie. Never mind,
little Tammie," he says at last, in an
odd, broken tone.
And then they go indoors, and he
locks himself into the study. 1t is all
over-the dream, the delight, the rough
awakening. The summer is ended, the
fairy castle lies in ruins at his feet

Outside in the darkening garden
there is the soft rustic of a girls dress,

suddenly Bingo lays his head down

Invariable Rule by which to Detect the

InvariabIe Rule by which to Detect the
Presence of African Blood.
Captain o. G. Terry has an almost
exhaustless fund of quaint or unusual
stories, incidents or information at his
command. Most of his stock he has
| gathered in his own varied experiences
and observations. Let him lean back
in a comfortable arm chair and get his
thoughts turned toward "reminiscences
and he is sure to interest his auditors.
He was born and grew to manhood in
Tennessee, when the institution of
slavery was in its prime. He grew up
to believe it wrong, his mother instill-
ing the belief into his mind from in
fancy.
"But saw enough of slavery myself
to set me against it," said the Captain
few days ago, in speaking of this
period of his career. "In several in
stances saw slave children sold whose
veins contained SO much of their mas
ter's blood that their skins were with
out tinge of the African color except
in the invariable stripe down the spinal
column. Such things as that were so
plainly and horribly wrong that l
needed no teaching in order to know
it. Between selling human beings who
were partly white and those entirely
black, some way couldn't find any
line where the wrong ended and the
right began.
What do mean by the stripe down
the spinal column Why. l supposed
you knew the presence of African blood
In any person, no matter how slight
the proportion, can be instantly de-
tected by dark line along the spine.
Even an octoroon, with complexion
and features purely caucasian, invaria-
bly, has this line of dark. 1t is a never
failing proof of mixed blood. The mark
is not always black, but is considera-
bly, darker than the rest of the surface
OF the body.
"Since you didn't know that, per-
haps you don't know that q colored
child at its birth is as light colored as
white one. You wouldn't notice any
difference in the color AT all. In three
or four hours after birth the skin be-
gins to turn dark, aud in short time
becomes as black as the child is des-
tined to be during its life. ."--Indianap-

Remarkable Resemblance That Has lie,

Remarkable Resemblance That Has Led
to Many Ludicrous Mistakes.
The resemblance between Chauncey
M. Depew, the distinguished New York
railroad president and statesman, and
Adam Forepaugh, the circus king, is
wonderfully striking, and Brother
Chauncey is frequently taken for
Brother Adam, and vice versa. This
similarity has led to a number OF
ludicrous mistakes.
Last winter while Forepaugh's big
show was in winter quarters in Phila-
delphia, one of the baby elephants was
"rented out" to the management OF an
opera company, it being utilized to
give realism to an Oriental scene. The
opera company closed its season the
latter part of March, and the baby
elephant was shipped back to Phila-
delphia, in charge of the agent of the
company The elephant was left in
the car, and the agent went down to
the Continental Hotel, where he had
an appointment by mail to meet Mr..
Forepaugh, whom he knew and had
frequently met.
Brother Channcey happened to be at
the hotel at the time. He had been
invited over to Philadelphia to din
ner given by the famous Glover Club.
and when the opera companys agent
entered he was standing near the desk,
talking to one of the clerks. The
agent instantly spotted him for
Brother Adam.
"Good morning." he said; Tm glad
to see you"
Delighted, Tn sure" answered
Brother Chauncey, with a puzzled look
on his face, as though trying to remem-
ber where he had seen the agent.
"You got my letter, of courseP"
"No-yes!-well, no, l can't say that
/ did," and the puzzled look deepened
on Brother Chauncey's face.
80, WE'LL" said the agent, 'it doesn't
make any difference--the baby's here"
"The-baby's-here-P'
"Why, yes; it arrived this morning;
what shall do with itp"
"Do with whatp'
"Why, the baby" q
"What baby?"
"The baby elephant"
A light broke over Brother Chaun-
cey's face. my dear fellow" he said.
"who do you take me forp"
"For Adam Forepaugh."
Brother Chauncey began to laugh,
"Great Caesar" he exclaimed, "that's
the fourth time I've been mistaken for
Mr.. Forepaugh since I've been in
Philadelphia, and in every town L
strike have at least one experience of
the kind. My names Depew-Tm
Chauncey Depew.'
Then they both laughed and the
agent went off to find the real Mr..

EXCITING SPORT.
Hunting with Tame Leopards at Dhar,
Central India.

Hunting with Tame Leopards at Dhar,
Central India.
The following account of hunting
with tame leopards. of the species
called the cheetah, at Dhar, in Central
India, is contributed by Colonel Ward
Bennitt: 1--WE were staying with the
Maharajah of Dhar, and one day he
said we should see cheetah-hunt; so
we started on horseback about four
o'clock in the afternoon. The chez
tabs looked lovely and seemed quite
tame, following the shikaris like dogs.
We went about five miles over very
bad ground, and it was exceedingly
hot. At last, to our delight, we saw
herd of deer about a mile off, and
we at once stopped. while the shikari
went forward with two cheetahs.
Presently one of the cheetahs stood
still, peered about and lay down,
slowly whisking his tail from side to
side. The men said, he has seen
the deer Soon he got up again,
and went after his companion,
and seemed to communicate to
him that deer were in sight
Then they both lay down at once.
After little time they got up
and began stalking the deer through
the grass. 1t was very difficult to dis
tinguish the cheetahs, as they were
much the same color as the ground.
Presently the deer became aware
something was up. and stopped and
looked about; then, suddenly, they all
got together, and began trotting off,
followed at once by the cheetahs, who,
although far behind, gained ground at
every stride, and we could see that
they had each singled out black buck,
taking no notice of the rest of the herd
tearing off in all directions. Luckily
they came toward us, and we sew one
cheetah give high spring. about iif-
teen yards, and seize his buck by the
throat and roll it over. We did not
look any more; we knew nothing would
induce the cheetah to leave its prey till
the bucks throat was cut and the ami
NAL was enticed away with ladleful
of blood. The other cheetah having
missed when it sprang, gave up the
chase and came straight back to his
master with his tail between his legs
We were very lucky to see the hunt,
for find many old Indians have never
had the good fortune to witness one,
and the Maharajah seldom allows his
cheetahs to indulge in this SPORT

UNIQUE COMPARISONS.
The Number of Vibrations Made by Watch
in tho Course of n Year.

The Number of Vibrations Made by a watch
in the Course of n Year.
The balance wheel of quick train
watch makes five excursions (vibra-
tions) every second, 300 per minute,
100000 per hour, .432, 900 per day, which
givesus the enormous sum of 157, $50, ITO
per year. Each vibration of the balance
of a properly constructed watch
consists of II revolutions. If bicycle
with 60-inch wheel was propelled at
this rate the rider would cover mile
in 532 seconds, nearly 67 miles per
hour, more than 1,604 miles per day,
or $50, 7164 miles per year.
Now, pause a moment and think what
condition your wheel would be in If
you attempted to ride it $50, 6,716I miles
without occasional repairs or even
fresh oil! Yet this is precisely what is
expected of q watch. 1t is to be hoped
that wheelmen will have more respect
for their watches after reading this.
The smallest screw in watch has
220 threads to the inch and is so minute
that the threads are not visible to the
naked eye. Indeed, one can hardly
be distinguished from speck OF dirt,
except by using a powerful magnify
ing glass.
If we convert our 60-inch wheel into
these tiny screws, of which it takes
253, 440 to weigh a pound, we shall
have 1889, 200 screws, worth about
$130,000. Let wheelmen not complain
of the cost of machines hereafter.
But the above is a mere trife when
compared to what the value would be
If made up into hair-springs, which,
when of tine best quality, are worth,
when fitted to watches, $29 AGA per
pound. In this case your wheel would
become worth the snug little sum of
1855, ,220, and if the wire used to
make these springs was drawn out into
one continuous piece it would take a
pretty good rider to travel from end to
end in day, for the distance would
be 116 miles. s.--Wheelman' Gazette.
