AN ENGINE ON A GOLD PIECE.

Smallest Force Generators on Eocord-A
Thrce-Drop Boiler.
The smallest engine we have any rec
ord OF is that made by d. A. Buck, of
Waterbury, Conn. Tho engine, boiler,
governor and pumps all stand on space
TIC OF an inch square and are about Y
of an inch high. The engine has l4s dis
tinct parts. held together by So screws
Three drops of water fills the boiler to
Overlooking. The diameter Of the cylin-
der is 1-2G of an inch, the length OF
stroke 3-32 Of an inch. The whole en-
gine weighs but grains. not including
base-plate.
Levi Taylor, an ingenious mechanic
OF lndianola, Ia, has constructed IN
engine almost equal to the Waterbury
wonder This pygmy was on cxhibi-
ton at the Centennial at Philadelphia
in 1870. 1t is built on q TWENTY-FIVE
cent gold piece, the whole outfit weigh
ing but fraction over three grains
1t must have been quite contrast to
the enormous Corliss engine when on
exhibition in the same building. Tay-
lors engine, while not as small as that
made by the Waterbury mechanic, is a
wonder that will be better appreciated
when the reader is informed that it
would take laG such engines to weigh
one ounce avoirdupoia

converted it into a lepcr hospital. Since
then he has established regular lcper
settlement on land between the mount

shOdds and Cotton.

Boston Herald.
In Philadelphia the owners Of
wooden mills have organized club
committed to a defence of the Nc
Kinley bill.
This bill protects these mill.owners
from foreign competition. This pro-
lection enables them to lower the
grade of their products and at the
same time to advance their prices.
The Dry Goods Economist has had
an expert examine some OF the "all
wool" goods made by the same Phila-
delphia protectionists. Here Is the
result:
"This firm has sold in large guam
titles this season a worsted fabric
weighing twenty-five to twenty-three
ounces, varying in prices from piece
dyed solid black at $3.50 to fancy
weaves from $1.62i to those contains
ing silk twist at $l.75. The fabric is
composed of worsted warp made
from delaine wool, which entirely
composes the face of the cloth and
constitutes q per cent. of its weight.
The filling makes the balance OF 70
per cent, and is entirely cotton and
shoddy, in the proportion of 921 per
cent. cotton and u per cent. shoddy.
1--WE have also before us a finer
fabric of the same order in fancy
trousering selling at $2.42l, to all APP
pearances solid worsted fabric, both
face and back. An examination,
however, proves these appearances
are deceptive. The fabric is of a class
known as filling cord stripe, having
a slight mixture of silk twist be-
tween the cords. The worsted is OF
three-eights and delaine stock, yet
every alternate pick of filling is cot
ton, as is also the warp between the
filling cord and the black warp.
Thus we have cloth which every
one but an expert would call an all
wool worsted cloth, yet contains 81
per cent. of cotton and 70 per cent. OF
worsted."
No wonder these men want protec-
ton, but they are no more entitled
to it than are the makers of counter
felt money.

1uat why : vAt nan paa..

In suggesting new theory Of the sums
light and heat 10 the members Of the Bos-
ton Scientific Society, Mr.. George Smith
recently showed scientific reasons why .
fat man should suffer more than lean
one in summer.
The new theory, briefly put, is this /:
Gravity is an ethereal force continually
streaming from space through every solar
and celestial body. II the body is not
movable with relation to some larger
body, this force Of gravity becomes that
form of molecular motion. (which we call
heat.
AS gravity depends upon the mass OF a
body, and heat Is, according to Mr..
Smiths theory, in one sense gravity, it
follows that the larger q body is the
hotter. Hence the fat mans discomfort.

Large Tree.

The Arlington Times says that the
largest tree in SnOhomish County,
CAL, probably lisa cedar which stands
little way from the Kent's prairie
and Stanwood road, about six miles
from Arlington. A party of nine
went down from that place lately to
satisfy themselves of the truth of
what by them were regarded as ex-
aggerated reports Of its size. The
measurement taken shows it to be 6S
feet, being nearly % feet in diameter.
If measured around the roots and
knotty protuberances the tree would
likely measure SO feet. The measure
ment was as close to the body of the
tree as the line could be drawn.
About, rs feet from the ground the
tree forks into four immense branch
es. Just below the forks is big
knothole, and FIVE of the party-Jack
Howard, J.. F. Shannon, A. Eng
berg, Ralph Morris, and Harry Pat
terson-climbed up and made an ex'
ploration of the inside of the tree
which is a mere shell, though still
green. They went down some Al
feet in the tree, and claim that there
is standing room for at least 40 mer
there. A peculiar feature which they
noticed was that the tree is barked OF
the inside the same as on the outside
