TO MEASURE THE TIDE
A Machine That Will Register the Ebl

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Sept. 4-The nut

ious instrument for measuring the flow OF

be caused by the steamer. The head of
this mechanical fish consists OF delicate-
ly made revolving screw or wheel not I'M
like In construction and shape the pro-
polling screw Of the steamer. When this
fish Is lowered into the water IL turns its
head towards the current and is held in
that position by the tail, which serves
the purpose OF a rudder. Within the
body OF the fish Is placed delicate ma
ehinery. which registers the revolutions
made by the revolving screw. and the
rapidity Of the revolutions Is transmitted
to the labratory on the steamer by an in
geniously constructed electrical appara-
tus, thus recording the rapidly OF the
current.
An interesting fact ascertained by the
government observers on this vessel is
that at the extremities of the sound the
tide begins to flow inward near the bot

gins to flow in the same direction at thu
surface Of the water.

Tho Syndicate Will Control the Leather

NEWARK, N. j., Feb. 1.-The work
of scaling down the prices fixed by
leather manufacturers for their estab-
llshments in this city in the negotia-
tions with the English syndicate has
been practically completed and tho total
sum, which is about Sc, 900. 600, exclu-
sive of the expenses of the transaction,
will probably stand. The figures sub
mitted by the manufacturers are sup
posed to be based upon the profit made
during the last three or four years.
Now that the total has been settled it
still remains for experts to go over the
books of the several manufacturers and
find whether there have been absolute
profits to correspond with the prices
named. The experts sailed from Liver
pool on Wednesday and are expected to
begin their examination Immediately
| upon their arrival here. If everything
is satisfactory the purchase price will
| be paid in the course of a month or SO.
