Stopping Machinery,

A most ingenious application of electricity
has been made to the machinery dealing with
cotton in what is called the silver form. A
most important thing in connection with this
process is that the frames must not be allowed
to work, even for moment, with one or more
of the slivers broken. otherwise the count of
the yarn would become irregular, and to
avoid all risk of this all manner OF
valuable and complicated appliances have
been devised. The latest and most
effective is an electric stop motion,
and to such automatic perfection has this ma
chime been brought that if one of the. delicate
films should chance to break the frame would
instantly stop dead. When the silver is passing
between the two iron rollers il necessarily
keeps them apart. but when the cotton breaks
they come together. ard thus an electric cir
cult is completed. to which the current is sup
piled by small magneto-electric machine.
Another equally simple motion is providing ior
stopping the frame when the can is full.

ABUSING THE STOMACH.
The Country Men Use Themselves Much
Better Than Those of Cities.

The Country Men Use Themselves Much
Better Than Those of Cities.
New York Press.1
One reason why city people are so much more
afflicted with illness than country people, said
a leading physician yesterday, is because of
the difference in their habits of eating. Your
countrynan eats hearty breakfast before In
the morning. He eats hearty dinner at noon.
AT o'clock he takes light supper,
rests for a couple of hours or more
and goes to bed to sleep and recuperate.
There is nothing like sleep to give renewed
energy to the physical man. Your city man
gets his breakfast at to O'Clock. 1t is
heavy breakfast, but he eats light because his
head is generally heavy. If he has been late in
getting up he bolts his food and rushes off to
his office. with his stomach struggling to get
the best of the chunks of stuff he has flung into
it. At IL or o'clock he bolts lunch-meats,
pastry and fruits and liquor in such conglom-
Grafton as to make his poor stomach howl with
anguish.
Then at o'clock he eats an enormous course
dinner. washes it down with two or three kinds
of wine. coffee and liquors. He has no time to
rest afterward but rushes off to the theater.
and when he leaves the theater he sits down to
a midnight supper that drives his poor stomach
and wonders why he cannot sleep. There are
a few old-fashioned men in New York who still
insist on the country habit of eating dinne- in
the middle of the day and supper at 8. l
know some of them, and they havn't an ache or
pain. But the other fellows are troubled
with headaches, kidney troubles, liver difficult
ties and all sorts of disorders,

Cutting the Diamond.

The operation of cutting the diamond
comprises three phases; splitting, shaving
and polishing. All crystals possess the
quality of easily cracking in certain di-
rections; in the diamond there are three
principal and very distinct directions,
without counting several secondary ones,
and cleavers or splitters call these the
threads" of the stone. A good workman
always knows where to find the thread,
and this is how be does it: The diamond to
be cleaved is fixed in a convenient position
at the end of short stick by means of
cement; then to another baton, and by the
same process is fastened a sharp diamond.
Taking in his right hand the baton bearing
the sharp point, and in his left the one that
holds the diamond TO be cleaven, he rests
them at the middle on a box which is
firmly screwed down to his table, thus

The Ideal in Photography.

Catharine Weed Barnes, In a recent paper.
advocated the maintenance of high ideals in
Photographic work, and showed the legitimate
lines on which such work should be followed.
Miss Weed argued that fancy photograph is
not a portrait any more than a fancy painting,
and the the photographer in this work is
just as much at liberty as the painter to
carry out his artistic taste. But, while he can
not make such decided alteration in his model
as the painter, he is entitled to use any and
every means IN his power to make his picture a
success. A painter often alters entire features
in face. or decidedly changes the figure and
that is considered perfectly legitimate. In
purely fancy work the photographer should be
permitted the same privilege without question,
but with portraits pure and simple, the likeness
should be thought of first; that Is the main
thing.

Leather Brake Shoes.

A company has been formed IN New South
Wales for the purpose of exploiting the manu-
facture of railway brake shoes from COM
pressed leather. Waste leather scraps are
stepped in solution and subjected to hy-
draulic pressure to mold them to any desired
shape. The leather shoe is said to possess dis
tinct advantages over that of iron, with su-
perior efficiency in every way. The leather
shoe weighs ~ pounds against 2l15 pounds for
iron, and it will wear three times as
long. More than this. it has a greater
coefficlent of friction, SO that 40
pounds air pressure is as effective as
20 pounds with iron brake shoes. There is one
pre-eminent benefit which the introduction of a
leather brake shoe would confer on communi.
ties which are subjected to the necessary evil
OF the elevated railroads. They would thus be
spared the dangerous shower of iron particles,
which now injure so many eyes. An attempt
has already been made to remedy this serious
source of danger by the use of compressed pa
per. This however. was found to be impracti-
cable. 1t is earnestly to be hoped that the new
shoe will stand the test of practical work.

Speed I'm Railway Travel.

Prof Thurston, in discussing the possibilities
of speed in future railway travel, states as his
conviction that where railways are carrying
large numbers of passengers on short routes, as
as on elevated roads-where, if ever, we may
reach enormously high speeds-the electric mo-
tor, or some advance even on that latest marvel
of invention and engineering, must come into
use. Heat, light and electricity will then con-
spjre in that coming revolution, which shall
combine for us the speed of the bird the COM
forts of home and the safety of a hermit's cell.
And what must come will come.

turning a sort of lever. He then rubs the
two against each other, until the sharp stone
has made notch in th other stone. He
uses three blades, one aft err the other. With
the first he makes roove, which with
the second knife is regul arized, and with the
third finished of in spt .cific manner. Then
holding with his left hand the baton on
which is the stone to l,e split, and at the
same time steel knife, the edge Of which
is fixed in the 'thread," he hits the knife a
clean blow with small. iron bar, and the
diamond is separated e:1sctly at the point
desired. This cleavage" as it is called, is
not always necessary; still, lapidaries have
recourse to it when they wish to take from
the crystal its defective particles, or to give
it convenient shape for after operations.

Transmitting Pictures Electrically.

Not many months ago new system of send
ing pictures by telegraph was described in the
electrical journals The principle of this pro-
cess was the division of the picture to be sent
into squares, each square being numbered to
correspond with paper similarly prepared, and
to be used at distant point, to be drawn upon
according to the direction sent from the trans
mitting station by the number communicated.
While applicable to pictures having only
straight lines, this process was not found feasi-
Bile for the transmission of portraits. For this
purpose an improved method has been sug-
gested, by which it is claimed that an exact re-
production in chiaroscuro of the original

This Simple Precaution.
st. Louis Democrat
Said St. Louis druggist: You ask me why I
inquired your address when writing out the
prescription for your cough. The reason will
at once commend itself to every sensible mind
and is simply this: There have been cases in
Vulnerable where lives might have been saved
had the number of the residence of the party
for whom the prescription was put up been
known to the druggist. For, as we ali know,
mistakes are made even in the most reliable
drug stores through the carelessness of clerks
Not long ago druggist found, on returning
from supper, that bottle of strychnine was
on the counter and asked the reason why
The clerk replied that he had just been putting
up a prescription, and was horrified when he
found that he had made use of strychnine in.

the prescription. The frightened young fellow
did not even know the name of the person who
had come In for it, or for whom it was in
tended, and after hours of search on the part
of the distracted druggist, TIE unfortunate VIC
tim was at last traced to his home, but too
late, for the first dose had killed him, That is
why place the name of the patient both on
the prescription for the druggist and on the
stub left in my prescription book.

Novel Treatment Tor Dyspepsia.

A simple and novel treatment for the cure
of dyspepsia and cancer OF the stomach has
lately been practiced by many prominent
physicians. This consists in washing out
the stomach. A long flexible pipe is passed
down the throat until one end is in the
stomach. The upper end has a funnel at
tached into which hot water is poured until
the stomach is filled. rfhe sunnel end of the
pipe is then turned do wn until il is lower
than the bottom of th e stomach, which is
thus emptied as through siphon. The hot
water closes the blood vessels and reduces
Inflammation, and the relief is immediate.

To Clean Silver Filigree.

A ready mode of cleaning silver fligree is
afforded by dipping it In solution of
cyanide of potassium. This, however, is
dangerous liquid to have much around, and
a solution of hyposulphite of soda, which is
perfectly harmless, will serve the purpose
nearly as well. If it is a matter of absolute
certainty that there is no metal but silver
in the jewelry, 1t can be easily and effect
ually cleaned by boiling it in sulphuric
acid

Twenty-Four Hour Clock Dials.

A 24-hour clock dial has been adopted on all
the Indian State railways. The periphery of
the dial is divided into minute sections as in
ordinary clocks and watches; the hour is indi-
Gated by a small figure on a small conspicuous
plate or disk above the center of the dial SO
that the necessity for more than one hand is
obviated.

is being so freely discussed, it is interesting
to know that the cable which has been laid

Hanzo, the most southern point of Finland,
and a light house two and one-half miles
from the coast, for telephone communica-
tion, is working perfectly.

by the steamer British Queen. The largest
cargo of cotton that has ever left United
States port consisted of l3. 700 bales, which was
taken out of Norfolk, Va, in March. 1883. The
weight of the bales in that cargo fell consider
ably short of those comprising the cargo of the
British Queen, hence the actual difference be-
tween the two cargoes was less than appears
by the actual count of bales.
