richtinc Trains by ELECTRICITY.

The experiments now being conducted on
the trains of the Milwaukee and st. Paul
railroad, according TO Popular Science News,
give substantial evidence that electric light
ing of trains is not only possible but practi-
cable. Four main conductors extend the
whole length of the train, and the circuit is
SO arranged that the dynamo, the storage
batteries and the lamps may be handled col
lectively or separately, as occasion requires,
The engine is coupled directly to the dynamo,
and drives the armature at speed of 800
revolutions minute. When the locomotive
is detached from the train, the storage bat
teries are brought into service and the lights
are unaffected. Any car or cars may be sep
arated from the train without interfering
with the light of either the train or the de-
tached cars, as the storage batteries amply
supply all the lamps. By means of switches
IA the end of each car, the lamps in the mid
lie, at either end, or on either side of the
ar may be cut out of circuit without affect
ing the remainder The couplings between
ears are made with cables placed over the
soors and under the projecting roofs. The
dynamo, engine, switches aud resistance
coils occupy an apartment about five feet
wide in one end of baggage car, and a stor-
Age battery of thirty-two cells is placed un-
der each car.

painted in oils. The cup shelf is fixed at a
convenient distance beneath, then the bracket
narrows and a small mirror with beveled
edge and shelf in front to hold vase terrni-
mates the natty affair.
Altogether new and taking is a design for
little work table of white enameled wood.
The top is composed of two Gaps that open
outwards and disclose firm, square work
bag with compartments for scissors, thimble,
needlebook, and SO on. The outside of the
bag is draped with Indian silk finished off
with pompons. When the flaps are closed it
makes a convenient occasional table, and the
top is to be tastefully painted with groups of
flowers.
An infinite variety of small articles are now
mounted upon easels, so that they will stand
upon table and display themselves easily
for inspection. One of the latest fancies is
thus to mount a small wooden palette, which
IS first covered with plush. Into the front of
this are screwed few tiny brass hooks, so
disposed as to be convenient for holding old
miniatures, ancient seals, medals, or similar
curiosities of small size
Flower pots and large flower bowls for par
lor or boudoir are often draped with silk
The pot is placed upon a square or circular
piece of silk, which is raised to the top of the
flower pot, and there held in place by a
gathering thread, carried round, firmly
drawn up and fastened off. a pretty cover is
made of any colored satin, yelled with lattice
work of briers, and where they cross are set
miniature roses, SO that the whole cover is
strewn with soft pink petals.

This is simply box on legs, with two holes
midway on both sides for cylinder to work
in. The cylinder is futed, or grooyed, and
the handle is detachable, to be fastened to
one Of the smal! ends of the cylinder that
slips into the holes
The box or bread trough is two feet long,
eight inches deep, and fourteen inches wide,
The cylinder should be about fourteen inches
long and eight or nine inches in circum-

IN using it, you mix the dough in tray

turn the crank C with the right hand and
YGsh the dough toward he grooved cylinder

why Sixty Seconds Make a Minute.


Why is our hour divided into sixty min
utes, each minute into sixty seconds, ETC. I
Simply and solely, replies Max Muller in
Fortnightly Review, because in Babylon
there existed by the side of the decimal sys-
tenn Of notation another system, the sexa-
gesimal, which counted by sixties. Why
that number should have been chosen is clear
enough, and it speaks well for the practical
sense of those ancient Babylonian merchants
There is no number which has 50 many di-
visors as 60. The Babylonians divided the
SUMS daily journey into "a parasangs, or 100
stadia. Each parasang or hour was subdi-
vided into 60 minutes A paraSang is about
a German mile, and BabylQnian astronomers
compared the progress made By the sun dur
ing one hour at the time of the equinox to
the progress made by good walker during
the same time, both accomplishing one para
sang. The whole course of the sun during
the "a equino ctial hours was fixed at q para
Eangs, OF 20 stadia, or 800 degrees.
This system was handed on to the Greeks,
and Hipparchus, the great Greek philosopher,
who lived about $50 B. c., introduced the
Babylo an hour into Europe, Ptolemy, who
Erote; out 40 a. D., and whose name still
lives in that of the Ptolemaic system of
astronomy, gave still wider currency to the
Babylonian way of reckoning time. 1t was
carried along on the quiet strain of traditional
knowledge through the Middle Ages, and,
strange to say, it sailed down safely over the
iNiGggTa - ~ TFvnor. = s-.sFuEl6n. For the
-1EIeehch, when fevolutionizing weights, meas
ures, coins and dates, and subJecting all to the
decimal system Of reckoning, were induced
by some unexplained motive to respect tdf
clocks and watches, and allowed our dials to
remain sexagesilnal, that is, Babylonian, each
hour consisting Of sixty minutes.

How a High Chimney Was Overthrow.

How HIGH OHIulHty Was ONeIIIITUWH.
The simple and successful plan by which a
high chimney was recently overthrow at
New Bedford, Mass, is thus described: The
chimney, which was lOOfeet by 20 feet square,
was undermined by knocking out the bricks
On the west and north sides, and shored up
by planks placed in the apertures. These
panks were literally covered with tar and
kerosene. When the time arrived for telling
the chimney, they were fired AS they be-
came sufficiently burned TO cease to support
the chimney, the mass settled out of the per-
pendicular TO the north, and then cracked and
fell with a crash TO the ground.

THE MAXIMUM DENSITY OF WATER
Hope used the following method to deter
mine the maximum density of water: He
took deep vessel perforated by two lateral
apertures, in which he fixed thermometers
isee CUT, and having filled the vessel with
water at 0 deg, he placed it in a room at
temperature Of 10 dogs. As the layers of
liquid at the sides Of the vessel became heated
they sank to the bottom, and the lower Their
mometer marked degs., while that of the
upper one was still at zero. Hope then made
the inverse experiment; having filled the YES
sci with water at Is degs., he placed it in
room at zero The lower thermometer, hav-
ing sunk to q dogs, remained stationary for
some time, while the upper one cooled down
until it reached zero. Both these expert
ments prove that water is heavier at degs.
than "a 0 deg, for in both cases it sinks to
the lower part of the vessel. This experiment
may be adapted for lecture illustration by
nsing cylinder containing water of Is degs.
c. partially surrounded by jacket contain
ing cracked ice, as shown in the cut.
This phenomenon is of great Importance
in the economy of nature. In winter the
temperature of lakes and rivers falls from
being in contact with the cold air, and from
other causes, such as radiation. The colder
water sinks to the bottom and a continual
succession Of currents is formed, until the
whole has a temperature of degs The
cooling on the surface still continues, but the
cooled layers, being lighter, remain on the
surface and ultimately freeze. The ice
formed thus protects the water below, which
remains at a temperature of dogs, even in
the most severe winters, a temperature at
which fish and other inhabitants of the wa
ter are not destroyed.
