Henry f. Miller Pianos.

TIE Henry F. Miller Pianos have gained
pre-eminent artistic reputation, the result
of years of brilliant successes in the great
orchestral concerts of America, as also the
concerts of the worlds most distinguished
pianists and vocalists, who have, from time
to time, selected as their first choice the
Henry f. Miller Grands to accompany
them on their concert tours throughout the
United States.
The Henry f. Miller Upright Pianos are
artistic and correct in design. They should
be seen by all interested in high-grade
pianos.

ments at w. c. Whitehill's Music Parlor,

Electrical Furnaces.

1t seems not unlikely that electricity will
be applied to smelling furnaces, in the near
future. An electrical furnace has been
patented in England which is said to have
given excellent results in the series of tests
to which it has been subjected. The elec-
trodes are blocks of carbon secured in
metal cases, and placed opposite to each
other in the walls OF the furnace. The metal
cases containing the csrbons are kept cool
by circulating water around them, and the
carbons themselves are capable of auto
matte adjustment to compensate for wear.
Provision is made in the furnace for the
escape of gas and for the introduction of
the cha srge, and the electromotiye force of
the current can be varied according to the
varying resistance of the charge.

Floating Disinfectant,

A patent floating disinfectant, which has
recently come into use. appears to possess
the three very essential advantages OF
efficiency, simplicity of application and
uniform solution. A mixture of carbolic
acid and other disinfectants in solid form
is so prepared that it will float in water
This melts slowly in the water, and is
always visible and accessible. The uni
form rate of solution adapts it specially Tor
use ia closets. All that is necessary is to
place block of it in the water cistern SUBJ
plying the closets. All danger of blocking
UP the pipes is avoided, as the disinfectan nt
is always on the top of the water.

Prices of Incandescent Lamps,

The recent reduction in this country Of the
prices of the Edison incandescent lamp to
a cents excited great deal of comment
from the fact that it affected many issues of
the greatest interest and importance to the
public as well as to electricians. The prin-
cipal of an electrical supply firm in England
writing to London electrical paper, says:
81 notice in your last issue note on the
present low prices of Incandescent lamps in
the State (i.e.. a cents esch.) thought it

How to Get Sound YieNs.

The well-known electrician Nikola Tesla,
in taking part in discussion on alternating
moters in the columns of an English paper,
made some remarks we'll worth the attention
of young electricians. He saws: "You state
that have misinterpreted my results, and
it looks as though you believe my views to
be unso1nd. Your arguments are those OF
an eminent scholar. I was myself fair
scholar. For years pondered, so to speak,
day and night over books, and filed my
head with sound views-very sound ones,
indeed-those of others. But 1 could not
get to practical results. I then began to
work and think independently. Gradually
my views became unsound. but they con.

Lagcing for Steam Pines.

A cheap and efficient tagging for steam
pipes can be made out of some of the waste
products of paper manufacture. The waste
products in question are chiefly those COM
ing from the different cleaning and sorting
machines, which are of fibrous nature
When dry they are mixed with potter's
earth in the proportion of four to one,
enough water being added to make a plastic
compound. This is spread by hand over the
surface to be protected in thin successive
layers. When dry the coating is said to
adhere firmly, and it has the additional
recommendation of entailing no greater cost
than that of mixing and applying it.

However this may be, we know that the
air is fluid body, that it has weight and
elasticity, and that every square inch OF it
weighs Is pounds. This means the weight
of one square inch at the bottom, reaching
up to the top of the aerial ocean. There is,
consequently, an immense air pressure. in

the pressure is equal on all sides of us. If

Building Materials In Vogue.

The investigations of fire ruins show that
porous terra Gotta bricks best resist fire, as
well as water and frost; after these in fire re-
sisting qualities come the various concretes
and burned clay work. In the most ap-
proved building work now in vogue the iron
part is eucased In terra Gotta, tile or brick
work in roof, floor and tile construction, and
the hollow tiles are faced with vitreous tile,
slate or any good weather-proof coating, or
with single thickness Of brick. Iron and
steel work, incased in fire-proof materials, is
just now very much in favor.

Clip for Rubber Shoes.

A new idea which seems capable Of de-
velopment into . valuable invention Is q
clip, which when affixed to rubber shoes IA
cilitstes their drawing on and taking of,
lessening the injury to their edges and in
suring better grip on the foot for them.
The clip, which is OF steel, is inserted in
the top OF the rubber shoe at point around
the heel; it opens and closes as may be re-
quired, and the ring which manipulates it
serves to pull the shoe on or off with the
utmost ease.

Painters are very abundant on the Nc
Cloud river and very destructive to
stock, especially to pigs; and from the
experience sc have had with them here
should say that in this region at least
they very seldom climb trees. They are
perfectly well able TO, but they can jump
into a tree so much quicker and easier
than they can climb into it, that they
very seldom if ever resort to climbing. |
think they would consider it slow work.
The hunters here assert very positively,
and stick to it, that panthers can jump
to the limb of a tree twenty or thirty
feet from the ground, and as all the trees
about here have limbs nearer the ground
than that, it is obvious that our panthers
would have very little occasion to resort
to the slow process of climbing. But in
other parts Of the country, where the
trees grow to a greater height without
branches, there is hardly doubt,
think, that panthers climb up the trunks
of the trees when necessity for it occurs.
But even then fancy that they jump
the first twenty feet or more up the trees.
They must certainly be able to climb
trees whenever they want to, for their
claws and limbs are much stronger COM
pared with the weight of their bodies
than is the case with our common house
cat, which climbs trees easily enough
