He is an old man, thoroughly edNcated
in his business and paragon of exact.
ness, even for mathematician.
Not many months ago he was called
to East st. Louis to make new survey
OF an old line originally run by himself.
On the first survey he had driven a GER
tain corner stake deep in the ground and
covered it up with large stone. When
he came to the spot he got spade and
cleaned the soil away from around the
stone, and then cleaned it off nicely
with some dry leaves, top and Sides
Next he took out his rule and made a
careful measurement of the stone, which
he used a moment later on the basis Of a
calculation to determine its weight.
When he saw the product his face
lighted up with JOY, for the number of
pounds, ounces and drains represented
therein was within the limit Of his lift
ing power. He made no attempt to lift
the tone as means of testing his abil-
ity to handle it, but relied on his ma

point for him. This is the only case

A SCIENTISTS JOKE.

How Prof. Cook Makes His Freshman
Glass Feel Very Uncomfortable.
Prof. Cook, Of Harvard College, Is one
of the most popular instructors in the
university Every freshman has
course in chemistry under the venerable
scientist. But If the course were not
prescribed it is likely that his classes
would be fully as large as they now are.
An hour in his experiment. room Is like
attending an entertainment. He makes
things lively in the most approved
Disqualification fashion with his
explosions, burning chemicals and other
fire works experiments. The professor
has spent good many years over his
crueibles, retorts and receivers, and his
hand trembles visibly when he picks up
any Of his apparatus or instruments.
One of his lectures is devoted to danger
Gus explosives, and a stir always goes
over the room when he picks up bot
tie labeled nitro-glycerine. His smile
is as innocent as a child's, and itreveals
the most genial and sympathetie nature
in Harvard College. When he picks up
the bottle and holds 1t up, the yellow
liquid stirring with the shaking OF his
hand, he always says something like
this: Now, gentlemen, it is commonly
believed that if were to drop this little
bottle we should all be blown to the
skies This hand trembles little more
and timid freshmen look songingly at
the doorl; but if this compound is pure,
perfectly pure, mind you, can light

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

In the purest air subjected to test
for the causes which produce the dim
ming effect of haze there were about
$4,000 dust particles found in each cubic
inch.
In tanning by electricity the ordi-
nary tan liquid is employed, and the
hides revolve slowly through it, while the
current from a dynamo trayerses the
vat and helps the tannin to combine
with the gelatine of the skin.
When Sir J. Hersehel was defending
the character of astronomical science in
view of an error of nearly 1000, 600 miles
In estimating the SUMS distance, the cor
rection was shown to apply to an error Of
observation so small as to be equivalent
to the apparent breadth of human hair
at distance of 125 feet.
A new sort Of boot sole has been
introduced in Nuremberg, consisting of
sort of trellis of spiral metal wire, and
the interstices being filed with gutta
percha and rosin. They can be fitted
with nails like ordinary soles, are fifty
percent cheaper than leather and vastly
more durable.
-Signor Schiaperelli, the eminent
astronomer of Milan, after ten years of
careful observation, has settled the point
that Mercury has rotation exactly like
that of the moon; that is to say, its rota-
tion on its own axis and around the sun
synchronize so that it always turns the
same side to the sun, just as the moon
does to the earth.
DR.. Dubinslzi, Of Kronstadt (Rnssia).
reports that within the last ten Years
thirty cases have come under his OBJ
servation of a peculiar ophthalmic affec-
ton occurring in young sailors whose
duty had obliged them to remain and
sleep in the vicinity of electric lights.
He calls the affection 'photo-electrical
ophthalmia. 1t occasions partial blind
ness and renders lightintolerable. What
is most singular is that sleep appears to
be an indispensable condition for the
manifestation of photo-electrical op-
thalmia.
One OF the most striking OF the Edi.
son exhibits, at the Paris Exposition,
was the little instrument which enables
an operator to sign a check one hundred
miles distant. The writing to be trans
mitted is impressed on soft paper with
an ordinary stylus. This is mounted on a
cylinder, which, as it revolves, 'makes
and breaks" the electric current bv
means of the varying indentations on
the paper. At the receiving end of the
wire, similar cylinder, moving in accu-
rate synchronism with the other, re-
'eives the current on chemically pre-
pared paper, on which it transcribes the
signatures in black letters on white
ground.
