Irregular working In machinery.

A simple method has been devised by
means of which, in the midst of busy
workshop full of machinery in motion,
any special noise, even though slight,
can be distinguished and its, origin
traced. The apparatus consists of an
ordinary india rubber gas tube about a
yard in length; the length may, how
ever, be varied to suit the nature of the
investigation. The tube is unprovided
with earpiece or bell. One end is APP
piled to the ear Of the observer while
the other is moved about in order to ex-
plore the seat of the irregularity. Since
the free ori6ce of the tube is compare
lively small and is applied as closely as
possible to the vibrating surface it prac-
tically receives only those sonorous vibra-
tons which are emitted by this surface.
Those who have to do with machinery
will find it especially useful for observ-
ing noises due to irregularities in the
working of small parts of machines,
which may be either difficult or danger
GUS to approach in any other way.-New
York Commercial Advertiser.

The Cecil Farmers' Club

Met at Mr.. A.. j. Michener's on
Wednesday and had royal good
time. The subject Of unfinished bus
mess was taken up in the matter of
a series OF resolutions that had
been laid before the Club by Mr..
Enoch Noyes, in June last. The
resolutions were of a political char.
acter. and the preamble recited that
the present depression of business
and general "hard times" was caused
by contraction of the currency of the
country, decentralization of silver,
etc, etc. The consideration of the
resolutions had been postponed from
meeting TO meeting, and at the pres
cnt meeting, the host having no
essay, it was resolved by the Club
to take up and dispose of the reso-
lutions. It was coon apparent that
the Club had resolved itself into a
"Clover Club, and the greater part
Of the session was spent in dilatory
and amusing motions and calling for
a re-reading of the resolutions again
and again. Considerable debate was
INDUCED in more or less in humor-

powers of the Club tor further dis

further consideration of the resolu
lions was postponed to the next
meeting which will be held at Mr..
Geo. w. Sutton's on Wednesday
18th OF December.
Resolutions were passed express
ing sorrow for the death of their
fellow member John S. Ewing, and
offering coincidence and sympathy to
his bereaved family. An excellent

were displayed in the discussion.

used. Innovations in the style of walk

come quite an art and business Of con-

Several thousand saw logs were

Port, by the food of June 1899, and
which he refused to deliver to the

away and Mr.. Roberts will have to
fight the owners in the U. S. Court, in
