RegimentaI Field Telegraph.

An ingenious field telegraph has been In
vented by an English judge. The coils OF
double insulated wire, giving a complete
metallic circuit, wound on bobbins, are
supported on the backbones of two bicycles.
Six poles, to enable the troops to carry
the wires over roads, are supported
over the handles of the bicycles. which are
trundled one in front of the other. When
the wire is to be laid, the bobbins
are taken of and carried on the back, and
wound Of, a special rapid coupling being
provided in case of necessity. When on
the road the poles can be thrown of, and
the bicycles mounted, SO that the instru.
ments and the conducting wires can be car.
ried of and saved from capture.

Among the numerous magnetic beparators
which have lately been put before public
one of the most remarkable is that for the
extraction of iron from sea sand. It is stated
that ordinary sea sand contains from to z
per cent of iron, enough, in fact, to give a
large excess over cost OF extraction. The
machine is very simple, consisting OF cyl
Under, whose surface is composed oi electro
magnets, revolving on the inside o an end
Jess canvas belt. The sand is fed to the
belt, and SPRAY Of water separate the parti-
cles, the iron being retained by the power
Jul electromagnetic, and carried off on the
belt to receptacle at the other end, while
the sand falls into the trough below. 1t is
claimed that the iron can thus be extracted
for about one-eighth of it's value.

A new fabric has been devised which ID
intended for use in stufing car seats and
backs in the place of curled hair. This
fabric is quilted bya knitting process, and
is quite different in appearance from any
other textile fabric manufactured. The
filling is carried and confined in an un.
twisted state, thus securing the softness Of
the natural fber Each section of filling il
placed in separate pockets. 1t Is not found
to mat or harden, and 1t is claimed that the
cost is much less than that OF curled hair, a.
the labor In upholstering is greatly dimin.
ished, and the back OF the plush is much
less liable to be cut The fabric is also
used for mattresses, pillows, holsters, table
padding, and Tor all upholstery purposes.
It is made in thicknesses of from V inches
70 inches.
