We respectfully call the attention of
The Ellsworth readers of the AMERICAN to
the letter Of DR.. W. NJ. Haines, to be
found in another column. The Doctor
sounds note of caution which it would
be well for all our citizens, and especially
the members of our city government, to
heed. There can he no doubt whatever
that an efficient Board of Health is abso-
lutely necessary to secure the best sanitary
condition to which our city can attain !;
and, ID matter Of so vital Importance,
We should be satisfied with nothing short
of the best Eternal vigilance is the price
Of good sanitary conditions, and that
vigilance can be exercised by none so well
a. by an efficient Board of Health.

AT Bar Harbor Tuesday, little boy
named Frank Davis fell into the water and
would have persisted but for the timely as
sistance of q man named Joy Cane who
Immediately leaped into the water and by
heroic exertIons held him up till assistance
arrived. Both went down the second time
and would have persisted together but for
the timely arrival of help from the shore.
Both were much exhausted when brought
on shore but medical attendance was
promptly at hand and they are now doing
well, A purse was made up by the enthu-
siastic people in town for the brave res
cuer whose name coupled with praise is
now on every tongue.

Capt. 0. c. Oliver and Messrs. Pierce and
Des Isle OF the steamer Sappho, says the Bar
Harbor Record. have been working their brsns
for sometime past over wonderful invention
which they have now completed and are about
to give to the public, feeling sure that it will
prove of immense benefit to all steamboat and
railroad lines. 1t is an automatic journal
alarm. which will indicate, by means Of an
electric enunciator, the degree of fractional
heat in the journal-box, and be ii means of
preventing calamity by showing to the engi-
neer in just what condition the machinery is
The need Of something of this kind has long
been felt. and other efforts have been made to
fill ii, but have not proved practical. But this
time the invention has been pronounced by
scientific and practical men to be all that is re-
quired. and it will be put into Use AS soon as
possible. 1t can be used on any car, steam
boat or engine at very small cost. This is
certainly an invention that recommends itself
at once to all practical engineers and will no
doubt be financial success, to tie fortunate
iventors.

Mechanics of the Chinese.

1t is a remarkable fact that the dwell
ers of the Celestial Empire, notwithstand-
ing their technical skill and their many
important inventions, stand on a very
low plane in respect to the natural scien-
ces and their practical application. A
recent occurrence illustrates the backward
state of science in China. A firm of
German electricians, by order of the
young Emperor, fitted the palace with
electric lights. The first trial of the new
illumination threw the imperial cabinet
into state of CONSERVATION, because such
results could only be obtained, according
to their view, by the aid of supernatural
powers, very likely those of evil spirits.
1t was consequently decided to remove
ut once the electrical lamps and machines
from the palace. In their astronomical
conceptions the Chinese stand yet behind
the age of Copernicus, believing that the
sun revolves around the earth, of whose
form and the way in which it is supper
ted in space they entertain the strangest
ideas. OF course, in such country as
tronomy, soothsaying and all the rankest
superstitions still flourish, and a check
can only be expected from the gradual
influence of the many intelligent young
men who have studied in European uni
vcrsitics.
In the ordinary application of practi-
cal mechanics, curious things are related
of the pig-tailed nation, showing that
Chinese education is based on ancient
traditions, adhered to with great peril.

principles of the lever and the pulley,
but IN the use of these appliances, known
in early antiquity, they remain at the
point that Europe passed thousands OF
years ago. In lifting heavy blocks OF
marble, by means of scaffold, they tie
a rope around stone, carry it over a
beam. and with blight around another
beam below. while lever is suspended

down the lever those holding the main
rope pull it tight, and workman above
slips down the knot of the lever-ropt
