it Is Invaluable to those WHO Operate
Machinery.
At a meeting OF the local engineers
an interesting paper was read By H.
II. Dantzer. formerly an engineer on
tho Reading railroad. bat now con-
tractor IN West Philadelphia, says the
Record OF that city. The paper dealt
entirely with The wonderful manner in
which engineers on railroads, steam
boats, and the masters Of mammoth
machinery ascertain accurately and
instantly when anything goes wrong
with the machinery under their con-
troll
Strange as it may seem, the only re-
liable friend of the engineer is we'll
trained ear. The greater part of Mr.
DantZer's paper was filed with Incl
dents relating to railroad work, but
the really wonderful incidents of which
he treated are taken from the nam
moth pressrGoms in which Philadelphia
abouuds The thunderous rumble and
clash of the modern presses which
are considered the most intricate ma
chimes in the world, is u pleasant tune
10 the pre5ainen. but let q bolt become
loose, let a band sip o. a piston or
bar get oat Of place. and there is u
discord in the pleasant tune. Instantly
every man in the presaroom. no matter
what he may be doing. raises his head
and turns his eye in tbs direction of
the discordant noise. The particular
pres IS located in an instant, and the
particular part OF the roaderous ma
chine where the discord is being made
is traced by the ear at once. The
same rule holds good in the engine
room Of al ocean steamer. The in
slant any part Of the noble engine
becomes out OF order it calls in I'M
mista! liable tones to the Guict-lookiag
engineer, who hastens TO prescribe a
a remedy.
Sir. Hantzer's papar told OF many
queer incidents of his experience IS a
RAILROAD engineer The master Of &
locomo i've gets to know his engine as
a mother does her child. In the dark
ct night, with the train dashing along
at the rate of forty-fve miles an hour,
the trained engineer hears a 81 GIT
sound which is out of the ordinary.
lie not only becomes aware Of it by
reason of hearing It, but if he were
deaf us a post tie disorder won d
be communicated to him through the
medium CT the throttle. He would
feel a slight jar which would indicate
rs Clearly as the sound that something
was out Of order. olj if the occasion
warranted, o stop would tie once at

10 a the next station.

falling accuracy which of the several

II may lie Il superluous task to paint
the lily or 10 gid the refined gold, but
the rcgreening Of vegetables has as
suned the proportions OF q gigantic
industry. which has its headquarters
in France. gives employment TO 20. 600
persons. and represents a business Of
10. coo. 600 francs.
Nine-tenths at least of the green
preserved vegetables sold in France
or abroad are said to be regreened
with sulphate of copper to give them
the appearance Of freshness.
According to the British Medical
Journal the Glasgow health committee
have decided that. as the French
Government have annulled their re-
greening prohibition. il remains for
consumers 20 take care of themselves.
"A foolish British public, :" saws the
Glasgow report. expects to get green
peas at Christmas such as it gets from
fhe market gardens in summer. The
French manufacturer makes them to
suit his whiu- TIE consequence is
that it cats STALE peas greened with
sulphate OF copper all the year round. y
