YALE'S NOVEL MACHINE.
Used to Illustrate and Investigate
Political Economy.

New Haven Cor. Of the New York Evening Post.
At the recent session of the Connecticut
Academy OF Arts ana Sciences there was
exhibited machine invented by DIR. Irv.
ing Fisher Of the Mathematical Depart
ment of the college. Professor Fl. w.
Farnham had the machine constructed at
cost of between $500 and 500, and has
presented it to the university.
The machine interprets and traces the
causation Of prices. The analogy between
political economy and fluid mechanics Is
here worked out. Commodities are repre-
sented by water. which is contained in
vessels or cisterns variously connected by
pipes. The money iucome Of the various
consumers are similarly represe nted, and
with these two sets Of quantities given,
the machine acts so as to yield definits
prices for each commodity.
Inc water contained In a given cistern
represents the amount OF given commo-
dity consumed by given individual per
annum, e. g., the number of leaves of
bread consumed by A. The CONFORMATION
of the cistern depends on the tastes and
pecuilarities Of the individual, and Is such
mat the distance from the surface of the
water IL contains to the ton OF the cistern
indicates the marginal utility" l. G., the
utility OF the last or least useful loaf. The
- o'oeViu suc less ttHiS marginal
utiiity. and when the cistern is COM
pleteiy fu'l 1t means that the individual
has nc further utility for bread. or Is COM
pletely stated. Each cistern thus takes the
place of the demand curve of Jevons and
fieeming Jenkin. used so extensively
among modern economists,
Each cistern is divided into two COM
partments-a front compartment one inch
IN width. and back compartment whose
width Is adjustable and made equal TO the
price,. The water In the front compari-
ment represents the commodity measured
IN commodity units, leaves. pounds, gal
lohs. etc. : nile the water in the back
compartment. being equal to the front
water multiplied bv the price, represents
the commodity measured In money units

Anglers who have taken much pleasure
in the trip from this city 10 Pllarcltos Lake
during the open seasons were surprised
when they read in THE CALL that large
number of the new arrivals had been de-
posted in This beautiful trout lake.
The trout, it must be remembered. Is
most ravenous fish, and there can be no
disputing the fact that the fontinalis OF
Lake Pllarcitos will destroy several young

took charge of the little fellows in their
journey over the mountains and plains.
there need BE- no fear as to their ability to
avoid ttacks from predatory fishes.
These little fighters," said the colonel,
will seek the bottom of the lake the me-
ment they are given their liberty. They

have been years resident of the lake he

Litter must give way TO his royal highness,
and the la tie viii not last long either"
The Spring Valley Water Company is in
hopes that the maskinonge will make short
work of the carp when he is old enough
declare war. MERGED Lake is literally
alive with carp and in the maskinonge the
company hopes to free the waters of t. very
undesirable fish.
If the maskinonge will prosper anglers
can nope for good fishing in 1697-foul
years from the time of planting.

The athletes are waking up after enjoy
ing good rest. The Olympic Club has
announced a field dav which will be held
in the latter part of this month. 1t is ex-
pected that some coast records will be
lowered on this occasion.
The great strides that bicycling has
taken prove that wheeling is the coming
sport on this coast. The Bay City Wheel
men have arranged grand programme of
events for next month.
The Introduction of muskalonge in the
lakes of the water company will give an
glers an opportunity of testing their skill
a few years hence.
1t is quite probable that meeting of
sportsmen will be called in a few days for
the purpose of discussing the game laws
and having them changed if possible 10
suit the wishes of sportsmen who reside in
the coast counties.

like city blocks, each right-and-left row
relating to a particular consumer. while
each iront-and-bae row relates to par
ticular commodity.
The front compartments of each front
and back row are connected by pipes so
that the Commodity can flow from one i'll
dividual to another, and the back compart-
ments Of each right and left row are also
connected so that a consumer may divert
portion OF his income from the purchase of
one commodity to another.
The cisterns are of thin metal. and are
arranged TO float like boats in large tank
of water about five feet square. The
water of the tank has no access 10 the
water of the ciSterns, and only serves as a
reference level, so that when the cisterns
reach equilibrium the levels of all the
water of all compartments are identical
with the level of the tank water.
A set of levers completes the apparatus.
These levers are so connected with the
cisterns as to make the maximal utilities
of all commodities in the same ratio as
their prices.
When the machine is in equilibrium, if
little additional amount of particular
commodity be added, the price of that
commodity will fall ana the prices of the
other commodities will be Indirectly af-
fected until the machine automatically
finds its news equilibrium. A set of scales

rect, of the causes set in action by change
In commodity. in incomes. etc. may be
carefully studied.
The results of such Investigations have
been published by DR.. Fisher in the
Transactions of the Connecticut Academy,
under the title of Mathematical Investi-
tions in the Theory of Values and Prices"
The whole machine occupies a floor
space CT about feet square, and is about
feet high, including the scales. Both
Professors Sumner and Farnum had
thought of a machine for the same pur-
pose. but carried their ideas no further.
The machine has been photographed for
the Yale exhibit at the Chicago Fair.

ANGLING.
How to Angle for the King of
Pixies

The CALLS exclusive report on Wednes
day of the arrival of 100000 Maskinonge
fry, which were planted on the morning
of their arrival in Lakes MERGED and Pillar
citos, created no small amount of talk
among sportsmen aud anglers who have
been greatly interested in the success of
the venture-that is, the trip across tile
continent.
The maskinnnge is more commonly
spelled muscallonge, which, according to
the most Xlerlenced scientists, is wrong
The OJibwa name of this fish is '!Maska-

The meat Of the maskinoDge is compact,

faint of extraneous substance such as de-
caYed wood or bark, which 20 commonly
affect the flavor OF pickerel and even
trout.
The fish often attains to nearly seven
feet in length and TO the weight of from
sixty TO seventy pounds, but when so large
they are less active aud do not afford the
anglers as good sport as when from ten to

trarted from the sewer. The introduction
of slectrom 0tOrs for this purpose is by m
means the first occasion on which mechSs.i-
cal power has been employer for removing
dangerous gases. Large blowers and fans
have been successfully used for carving a
supply of fresh air through the Enrkings
at mines and collieries. Formerly the
ventilation was effected by hot-air cur
rents, furnace being kept up in the up-
take for the purpose of heating the out
going air. and thus creating a draught.
The superiority of electrical ventilation,
however. has been So conclusively demon
strated for almost all ordinary conditions
