A great improvement in English railway
carriages consists of a provision OF sepa-
rate light for passengers desiring to read,
in addition to the lamps in the roof of the
cars. The mechanism of the lamp is ex-
ceedingly simple, and is contained in a box
five inches by three inches. On the top Of
the machine is the inevitable slot, and
when a penny is inserted therein and q
knob is pressed an electric light is obtained
which burns half an hour, at the end o
which time light is automatically extin'
guished. 1t can be relighted by the inser
ton of another penny.
The light, which is of three candle power
is contracted by a shade reflector, which
may be turned within certain limits so thai
light may be directed to suit the position
of the passenger. A remarkable feature o.
the machine is its honesty, as it is so ar
ranged that in case of failure in the sup
ply of electricity the coin is automatically
returned to the operator.

People often ask what is the use of the
abstract studies scientific men and women
often indulge in? The reply is, you must
first discover a new truth before you can
tell whether you can make any value
of it. The valuable discovery that the
the black rot can be prevented from
injurng grapes by inclosing the bunch
in paper bag is the. direct result Of scien-
tifc studies. When it was found that the
rot was caused by fungus growing from a
little seed or spore, which, floating through
the atmosphere, attaches itself to the grape
berry, it was the easiest thing to think of
putting bags over the bunch early in the
season, so that the spore couldn't get there
Hundreds of thousands Of dollars have
been saved to the cultivator by this bagging
of grapes, which wonld have been totally
lost but for the labors of scientific men,

Among the most powerful hammers en-
plOyed in Krupp's cannon works at Essen,
Germany. there is one weighing fifty tons.
II is used in shaping the heaviest blocks OF
steel, and the anvil upon which it falls has
a weight Of one thousand tons The latter
rests upon base Que hundred feet square,
surrounded by water to deaden the terrible
conclusion. Nevertheless, an earthquake
like trembling OF the ground, combined
with a stunning noise, follows the shock
caused by the contact of hammer and anvil.
A curious inscription, reading Fritz nur
INNER d'ruff," which is found on this ham
mer and which may be translated by
"Fritz, don't mind giving it to him" has
its historical bearing When, in 1877 old
Emperor William visited Krupp's works
and appeared particularly struck by the size
of this steam hammer, Herr Alfred Krupp,
the father of TIE present proprietor, intro
duced Fritz, the engineer, to his illustrious
guest, remarking at the same time that he
knew how to direct the stroke of the colos-
sal hammer so accurately that an object
placed in the center of the block would re-
main intact. William | pulled out his
watch, set IN brilliants, laid it on the spot
and rogue ted the engineer to drop his
hammer. Fritz hesitated to test his skill
uron so costly an article, when Herr
Krupp called out to him" Fritz, nur INNER

fearful shock The watch was intact. The
Emperor presented it to the skilful engi
