How to Measure Water.

To measure water roughly in an open
stream, take from four to twelve differ
emit points in a straight line across the
stream, and measure the depth at each
of these points, and adding them to-
gether, divide by the number of meas
urements taken. This quotient will
give you the average depth, which
should be measured in feet Multiply
this average depth in feet by the width
in feet, and this will give you the square
feet of cross section of the stream. Null
tiply this by the velocity of the stream
in feet per minute, and you will have
the cubic feet per minute of the stream.
The velocity of the stream can be found
by laying off 100 feet on the bank and
then throwing q board into the stream
at the middle, note the time passing
over the 100 feet and dividing the 100
feet by the time and multiply by 60
gives the velocity in feet per minute at
the surface. The velocity at the centre
is only SO per cent. of that at the sur
face and so only SO per cent. should be
calculated. For example, suppose the
float passes 100 feet in ten seconds; that
divided by 10 and multiplied by 60
seconds in the minute) give 600 feet
per minute as the velocity, and SO
per cent. of this gives 49S feet per min
ute as the velocity of the stream at the
centre, and the area of the cross section
multiplied by this will give you the
number of cubic feet per minute in the
stream. This, of course, is only q
rough way of calculating, but it is often
used, and is good and simple way to
obtain data to select wheel by Tex
tile Record.

A European Hair Mart.

The demand for false hair at the pres
ent day is very great. We can get some
idea of the magnitude of the traffic from
the fact that the hair merchants of Lon
don alone import five tons of hair an
nually, and that the Partisan dealers
harvest upward of 100000 pounds of
hair year. It is mostly black hair,
and is collected in Brittany and the
south of France. The market cannot
be supplied simply by chance clippings;
there must be more ample sources and
regular seasons for obtaining the supply.
There are itinerant dealers who pur-
chase hair, paying for each head of hair
from one to five francs, according to its
weight and beauty, the weight ranging
from eleven to sixteen ounces. The
peasant girls are quite willing to part
with their hair, and will accept silks,
laces, cheap jewelry, etc., with which
the traffickers are we'll supplied. The
latter attend the fairs and merry max
ings as the best place to ply their voca-
ton, and the girls bring their hair to
market just as they would peas, cab
bages, etc.
The girls stand in ring waiting to
be shorn, with their caps in their hands
and their long hair combed out and
hanging to their waists. The dealer,
who is often a man, but sometimes q
woman, ties up each crop of hair in a
wisp by itself and losses it into large
basket. The girls sacrifice some of
their vanity along with their hair, but
it does not worry them long. They
want the money, feel more comfortable,
and the close-ftting caps they wear
hide the loss. Then, too, will not the
hair grow again?
The hair is dressed and sorted in the
wholesale houses, and sold to the hair
workers at ten francs q pound. The
retail dealer, in turn, obtains good
Profit, knowing that if one customer re-
fuse to pay it another will readily buy.
Light hair is almost exclusively a Ger
man product. The dealers claim to be
able to distinguish the nationality of
hair, whether French or German, Eng
lish or Irish, Scotch or Welsh. Nay,
more, they assert that they can name
the province in which the hair was
gathered between two districts of
Central France, though they may not
be many miles apart. The difference is
so very slight that the ordinary physi-
ologist would not be able to detect any.

A Colored Boy Preacher.

There is in Brunswick little colored

denomination, he makes his living ny
preaching to the colored people, charge
ing sometimes five cents, somtimes 81
for sermon, according to the nature OF

deliver a discourse on the gamblers,
near the Pope Catlin's dock. In q
quaint but thoroughly sensible manner
he condemned them to everlasting
death. His use of English so readily,
always having words to express a thought
is certainly remarkable. The colored
people almost reverence and worship
him on account of his unusual intelli-
gence.-[ Brunswick (Ga.) Times.

Processes Of Lead Pencil Manu-
facture

"Why is it." asked the scribe, as he
looked timidly over the desk side at the
big manufacturer, "when you first begin
to sharpen lead pencil, that the lead
is SO good and it sharpens SO nicely, and
as you get nearer the other end, or the
rubber or metal tip, the lead gets worse
and worse?''
''You only find that phenomenon in
an ordinary grade, not in the best pen
cils," answered the big manufacturer,
expected he would. "To find out why
made. The wood of pencil, you know,
is cedar, the lead, as it is called, graph
lite. White wood is sometimes used, but
only for inferior grades. In general,
the quality of the wood can be deter
mined very largely by its color2 The
redder, the better quality; the more yell
low, the poorer. Our wood comes to us
all from Florida-in slabs, each exactly
pencils length and of six pencils
width. A machine makes six length,
wise grooves in each of the slabs, and
in these grooves is the graphite laid.
On the grooved and graphited slab is
glued another grooved slab, so closely
that the line of joining cannot be seen.
Now comes in the answer to your ques
ton. This combination of graphite
and board must be cut into six pencil
shapes. 1t can be done all at once, or
in six separate cuttings. Mark the
difference. If the machine of six saw
blades is used, just after the middle is
passed, the tendency is for the part
already out to spring and bend to either
side. Parts of the wood below are, In
consequence, tightly compressed, and
the graphite within softened OF broken.
With the single saw blade all this is
avoided. Of course, using the single
saw blade, the cost is much increased.
And so in the high-priced pencil is the
lead the same all the way through.
"Ihe shaping of the pencil, the MAX
ing it round or hexagonal, is done at the
same time the slabs are sawed into their
parts. The better grades of pencils
then go through an immense amount of
smoothing and finishing. The varnish
is then put on, the pencil being forced
by machinery through fixed brushes wet
with it. This particular process is re-
peated several times. The polishing
thereafter is done mainly by hand
SO saying, the big manufacturer re-
turned to his desk and correspondence.

Guilds in Servia.

A curious survival of the Middle Ages
in Servia is the institution of L" Esnafs,
or guilds. According to the latest
British consular report from that coun-
try, these Esnafs are guilds of the Nari-
Gus trades which regulate the condition
of apprentices and the privileges of
master workmen. They are independent
CT State support, and are maintained by
employees and workmen of the different
trades for the purpose of mutual support
in labor and sickness. Monthly con-
tributions are paid to the guild by the
members, and funds collected are man
aged by an unpaid committee, elected at
q general meeting. Foreigners are al
lowed to join these guilds, and the law
enables them to prevent workmen who
have not been enrolled from exercising
their calling London Times.

The business of the Eiffel tower turns
out to be immense. NJ. Eiffel calculated
that when everything was in working
order the gate money would be s., 900 a
day. Since the lifts have BEEN in oper-
alton he is thought to have averaged
more than this. 1t costs twenty cents
to enter the tower, forty cents to get up
in the lift to the second floor, and eigh-
ty cents to the top. On any one of the
ordinary full price days more than 20, :
600 people have paid admission, and,
with the increased prices for those using
the elevator, the entire receipts exceed
$4,000. The original cost Of the Eil1el
Tower, all included, was a little less
than 81, 100000. The proprietor has to
keep it in repair and hand over one
fourth of his gate money to the Exhibit
ton. 1t is estimated that it will be half
paid for when the Exhibition closes, and
then it will remain certainly three years
more and perhaps ten.

Birds and Telegraph Wires.

1t has been supposed that birds be-
come accustomed to the presence of tel
egraph wires, and are careful to avoid
them in flying, but it would seem either
that this is a mistake or that the birds
on the Scotch and English moors are
less intelligent than their fellows. Sys-
tematic observation there along line oil
telegraph wires has shown that great de.
structiOn of bird life goes on throughout
the year, and that at certain seasons the
roadside is literally strewn with the re.
mains of unfortunate grouse, black game
partridge, snipe and other birds. Every
morning at dawn marauding bands OF
rocks come from the lowland woods to
feast on the dead and dying, and the
farmers and shepherds in the region de.
clare that more grouse are killed annu.
ally by the telegraph wires than by all

THE Russian empire is very rich in
mineral wealth. The known supplies of
coal are very large. As yet, however,
the vast wealth possessed by the empire
in this direction alone is only beginning
to be known. A report to the govern
ment by Professor Mendelieff shows
that in the bas of the Donet1 river,
tributary of the Don, there are nearly
81 900, 100000 tons of coal awaiting
working. If the mines prove workable
as deep as the average English mines,
it is estimated that three times the above
total is to be obtained. The Donetz
basin, it is claimed, could alone supply
the present annual coal consumption Of
the world for 200 years to come.
