SENSIsIvE KNEE DRILL.-A new knee
drill promises to be of special service in
certain industries. Where such an APP
pliance is required the work is placed
on a table or block resting upon it
and the piece to be drilled is held by
the operator and the table is raised by
means of the knees to feed the work
TO the drill. This construction leaves
both bands of the operator at liberty to
handle the work, and at the same time
permits great degree Of sensitiveness,
since the resistance can be felt by the
knees and the upward pressure regu-
lated accordingly. Ii is claimed that
at least fifty per cent more can be &C
complished by this drill in given time
than by any other similar device, owing
to the rapidity with which the work
can be adjusted and then performed.

POWER OF THE BEE.-In a recent
work on the bee, Mr.. T.W. Cowan states
that the insect can draw twenty times
its own weight, can fly more than four
miles an hour, and will seek food at a
distance of four miles. By beautiful
mechanical adaptation its wings bear 1t
forward, with upward, downward or
suddenly arrested course. Its three
fold voice organs are the vibrating
wings, the vibrating rings OF
the abdoman and q true vocal ap-
paratus in the breathing aper-
ture or spiracle. The fuzz is
produced by the first two and the hum,
which may be "surly, cheerful or COLO
ouial significant" by the vocal men,
brane. A number of the bees notes
have been interpreted. "Humm" is the
cry of contentment, ''wuh-nuh-nuh"
glorifies the egg-laying Of the queen;
Ishu.u-u" is the note of the young bee
at play; ''s-s-s-s' means the muster of q
swarm; 'b-r-r-r" the slaughter or ex-
pulsion of the drones; and the ''tu-tu-
tu' of the newly Matched young queen
is answered by the ''qua-qua-Qua" OF the
queens still imprisoned in their cells.

SCIENCE AND MECHANICS.

QUESTION OF TELEPHONE CHARGES.
A proposal has been made by DR..
Strecker, of Berlin, which seems to
solve the question of telephone charges.
He proposes to levy a fundamental
charge to meet the expenses for install
lstion, maintenance and depreciation,
in addition to a time charge, to meet
the working expenses. Nothing could
be fairer than to charge for the use Of
tele phones according to the duration of
conversation, and DR.. Strecker proposes
TO use a clock which goes as long as the
conversation lasts.

To EXTINGUIsH PRAIRIE FIREs.-An
inventive genius of North Dakota has
lust patented a device for making fire
break to fight prairie fire with. 1t is a
sheet-iron continuance five feet wide
and seven feet long and about two feet
high. On top of it are three circular
reservoirs for holding gasoline. Under
meath is arranged a series OF burners
designed TO set fire to the grass as the
machine passes over it. The main part
of the apparatus is followed by a
sheet.iron trailer in three sections
each five by seven feet. While the
first two of these are passing over the
grass is supposed to be well consumed,
and the final trailer is designed to ex-
tinguish every particle OF fire. The in
vention is awakening much interest
among the raRchmen, many OF whom
believe the machine will prove imprac-
ticable because it will not securely con-
fine the fire and it will thereby cause
serious CONGREGATIONS. The inventor
claims it will safely burn strip five
feet wide and twenty-five miles long in
one day. Four horses will be required
to draw the apparatus.

The witnesses they appear are handed a
Bible and You solemnly swear that the testi-
mony you give in the case on trial will be the
truth, the whole truth and nothing but the
TRUTH" is the oath administered.
The form of the oath is Objectionable to
some witnesses, who say, Il affirm" and some
times it happens that the witness raises his
hand and the clerk, through a mistake. admin
listers the same oath and the witnesses never
grumble. but simply lower their right hand
and accept the oath. showing that they either
don't understand the difference between an
oath and affirmation or else that they wish to
avoid kissing the books which have been
pressed against many thousand lips.
In the morning the first cases tried are those
in which jury trials are not demanded. The
prisoners form in line and march into court
standing beside the iron screen heretofore men,
toned. Sometimes, especially on Mondays, the
procession is long enough to reach across the
entire court room, and seldom does process
sion appear in which there are not several
familiar faces. The same old story is repeated
over and over again and in the average petty
case all the judge has to do is to say, Five dol
lsrs' or Thirty days." while every now and
| then 1t becomes necessary to remind an old
offender that he is coming too often and give
| him home for a much longer period.
Since the dignity Of the court was raised by
the jury being provided, the larger part Of the
days are consumed in the trial Of policy cases.
and most Of this week has been devoted to a
series Of Investigations of the policy business
as well as Of the particular cases before the
court.
