What Dairymen should Know

The dairyman should be to some ex-
tent veterinarian, at least enough to
be able to tell when his COW is sick
and what is the matter with her.
Many times milk is sold from a sick
COW for days before the owner is aware
that anything is the matter with her,

other deadly diseases become scattered

no knowing how much sickness and
death have been caused by this igno-

ON ITS LAST WEEK.
Just Six Days Of the Big Show Down
at the Point Now Remaining.
THE ATTENDANCE NEVER BETTER.
People Going Twice Day, in Order to Make
Up for Lost Time.
SOME OF THE PROMINENT EXHIBITS

Like a candle futtering brightly just
before it goes out, the Exposition in its
last week outshines all its former brilliance.
The attendance is larger than ever, be-
cause, in addition, there are present the
procrastinators who have delayed going for
the reason that 'there still were several
weeks before them" A great many people
are wishing now that they had tried the
excellencies of the big show at the Point a
few weeks sooner.
But they are doing the best they can now
by visiting the Exposition twice day and
spending at least part of the time near the
music stand. This, according to Cappa, is
still better. He has arranged programme
for to-day in compliment to the Odd Eel
lows, and musicians say it is very choice
one. Cappa's "days" are strong rivals of
legal holidays. To-day he plays his seven
tieth and seventy-frst concerts.
No art collection at the Exposition has
ever been better frequented than the pres
ent one. Our out-of-town cousins evidently
only require their love of art to be en-
couraged little until they will rival our
selves in their appreciation. Few, how
ever, have purchased, leaving that for the
townspeople to do, but Manager Johnston
expects change this week in the rather
chilly attention of the buyer. The loan
pictures are giving much pleasure, as every
body seems to like seeing what Pittsburg's
wealthy men decorate their walls with.

A Number of Minor Matters That We're
Given CounciImanic Attention.
An ordinance was presented in Select
granting the Mt. Olive Incline Railway
Company the right to use and occupy GER
tain streets. 1t provides for any electric
railway route beginning on South Wash
ington street at the intersection of Maple
street, thence along Maple to Lillian street,
east along Lillian street, thence south
along the city line at Hartford street. The
ordinance allows single or double tracks and
an overhead electric system.
In Select Council Mr.. Benz presented two
resolutions, one providing for a committee
TO secure information relative to putting
into use the S100, 900 appropriated by Coun-
ellis for free bridge across the Monongahela
river, the other providing for a committee
to ascertain what steps will be necessary to
secure the abolishment Of the toll-gate on
Eighteenth street, inside the city limits.
Both resolutions provide for committees of
five, of whom three are to be from the Com
mon Branch and two from the Select Branch,
They were adopted in both branches.
In Common Council the Select Council
ordinance authorizing S. E. Warren to Law
switch across Thirty-third street and Spring
Alley was taken up, MI. O'Donnell said the
track would take up great deal of room,
there was a remonstrance against it, and he
moved that special committee be ap-

IMPROVED LOCKS.
A System Designed to Expedite Slackwater
Navigation-OtherI Inventions of Value

A System Designed to Expedite Slackwater
Navigation-Other Inventions of Value
to Rivermen.
Messrs Arthur Kirk & Son display a
large working model of this interesting in
vention in Machinery Hall. 1t is designed
by its use to do away with the greater por-
tion of the delay experienced by boatmen
in taking steamboats, through locks. The
model should be inspected to thoroughly
understand the system, but it may be
briefly stated that the device consists of
gates worked vertically, raised or lowered
by hydraulic pressure (nstead of working
horizontally as in old-fashioned locks), the
pressure being controlled by simple sys-
tenn of levers and small gates, which regu-
late the influx of water from the higher
level By this invention it is possible to
construct locks in rivers and canals that
will enable a steamboat to pass from a
higher to lower level, or vice versa, with
out Stacking speed, stopping her engines
and without assistance of lines from the
shore.
Mr.. Kirk issues q special invitation to the
members of the Engineers Society of Penn
sylvania, members of the Coal Exchange,
Pittsburg and Allegheny Councils and to
rivermen to examine his patent dam
for the Allegheny river, and asks
their inspection also of his patent
for jetties in the Mississippi river. The
dam was examined last year by many prom
inent engineers of Europe and America,
and without a single exception they pro-
nounced in favor of it. 1t should be stated,
however, that Mr.. Kirk is more interested
in the river Improvements themselves than
in the success of his particular inventions,
and he offers 800 for che production of any
invention that will do in more satisfac-
tory manner what is claimed for his own
patents.
In another part of their space Messrs
Kirk & Son display improved steam drills
of various sizes, rock crushers, coal, slate
and stone augers and specimen packages of
high explosives, blasting and sporting pow
ders. 1t should be stated that these pack
ages are only fao-similes, filled with harm
less mixtures, so that no explosion can pos
sibly occur. But it is safe to say that most
persons will prefer these limitations to the
dangerous substances.

Have created most favorable impression
by their artistic display of elegant china,
glassware and lamps at the Exposition, but
the impression will be indelibly impressed
upon the mind by visit to the large estab-

are showing stock of these fine wares that
would astonish those who are not ac-
quainted with the lines usually carried by
this firm. There is nothing lacking in any
of the departments of china for the table or
toilet, fine table cut glassware and lamps in
banquet, library, piano and vase styles. No
one desiring really elegant and useful
goods of these kinds should fail to call at
the earliest possible moment and inspect
