A Large Hydraulic,Ram.

Rifles Hydraulic Engine Manu-.
featuring Company, Roanoke, Va,
has recently built a hydraulic ram
which yields remarkable results.
1t is attached to an Is inch drive
pipe with a 4 inch discharge pipe,
and weighs a ton. This ram,
under a head of Z feet, elevated a
gallen of water per second to q
height of "a feet. 1t is said that
during the experiment the ram
took in the requisite quantity Of
air and worked very steadily and
satisfactorily. 1t has thus been
demonstrated that it is quite with.
in the range of possibilities to
make larger hydraulic rams than
have heretofore been thought of.

Where Canary Rlfts Come From

!. When the North German Lloyd
steamer Hermann unloaded at
New York lately, twenty large
bundles shroaded in white cloth
were carefully lifted from the hold
and PLACED on dock. From each
bundle came a chorus of angry
twitterings and chirpings and
much tuttering of wings. Each
bundle contained 252 little wood.
en- bird cages, each with a canary
bird in it. Immediatly every one
of the 5,040 birds stretched it's
little yellow throat in an effort to
outsing his neighbor. They carroll
led and trilled as merRily as if
they were looking out on green
heath and a blue sky.
The canaries are Ofthree grades;
the $3.50 birds, the 80 birds, and
the $40 birds. The ordinary birds
are worth $3.50. A large, fine
bird, or one of particularly hand
some colOring. brings twice that
price, while a distinguished vocal.
list will bring $40. AL the birds
are males and singers. They
come from Germany, where they
are bred in large numbers. 1t is
probable that all of the 5,040 birds
will be sold within a few weeks.
This is the busy time in the can
airy market, and within the past
week more than 10000 of these
birds have arrived, classed as live
stock.
