Novel Counting Attachment.

This improved counter, which is
adapted to automatica- -lv register each
impression o. the press, may be at
ached in such wa5 as to be easily
thrown into operative position and
easily tilted back cut of the way,
operating only when the press is
actually printing, and not register
ing when the 'throw-ol" is usel.
The Improvement has becn patented.
The counter is of the usual kind, with
registering wheels and knobs for set
ting them, and it is operated by
lever which hangs d wn at slight ln-
clination 10 the bottom of the case, the
lever being bent upward and laterally
at one end, and finally entering slot
in the case, where its inner end is
pivoted A front view of the counter
with its attachments is shown in the
figure at the top of the picture, side
view icing shown in the figure at the
left, and the position of its attach
ment to the press on the right On
the top or back of the case containing
the counting mechanism is a plate
with projecting lugs pivoted to the
upper end of Il standard Sc ured to one
side of the frame of the press, the
standard extending upward to a point
near the p tn of the platen, SO that
when the ca-e is swung into position
for registering. it's levec, a, will ex-
tend into the path of a finger or pin
on the platen, b, of the press. If the
counter is not to be used. it may be
readily tipped over to the back side of
the standard, out of the path of the
finger. When the throw off is used,
the platen does not quite touch the
type, and the finger and lever are SO
adjusted as not to come into engage
ment with each other except when an
impression is actually made, or when

Nut-Tapping NIachine.

nut-tapping machine has been
contrived by Rhode Island inventor
which automatically presents in sue
cession a mum ber of nuts to the tap,
releases them from the holding jaws
after tapping and pushes them On to
the shank of the tap and, when the
desired number of nuts has been
tapped, the machine is automatically
stopped. The apparatus is described
as having a longitudinal Y rotatab BILE
tap and means for driving the same,

the tap, and having an arm, spring
secured to the arm and a stud on the

Against i'll health, debility and nervousness is
to promote digestion, activity OF the liver an
regularity of the bowels with the Incompatible
Alternative and tonic, Hosteter's Stomach Bitters,
a medicine without a drawback, safe and
thorough, and having the highest professional
sanction. 1t promotes an adequate secretion of
the gastric juices that act solvents of the
food, and insure it's conversion into rich nour-
ishing blood, which never fails to honor the
drafts for strength made upon it by the rest of
of the system. AS a laxative of the bowels it is
natural and gentle in operation, but at the
same time effective. BY directing the bile into
its proper channel it removes the many and
harrassing symptoms of liver complaint. Heart
burn, nausea, sick heada ches, nervousness,
rheumatism, malaria and kidney trou BILE are
remedied by 1t.

CATTLE STALL.

the hover edge of each of which is
hinged crib cover, are secured upon
rOtable transverse shaft, on the
outer end of which is transverse
handle bar. A cord extending upward
from the outer edge of each crib cover
connects with n transverse cord pass
ing over grooved pulley at the side,
the covers being raised and folded
against the gates by pulling upon the
cord, when both the covers and the
gates may be raised, as indicated in
dotted lines in the outline figure, by
rotating the handle bar, thus afford
ing a clear opening from each stall
into the crib opposite it. A latch
piece is adapted to be swung across
the path OF the handle bar to hold the
gate locked in elevated position.

Towing on the seine.

An account is given of some interest
ing experiments conducted by the
Societe de Touage de Ia Basse Seine ct
de FOise upon the River Seine, which
have eliminated in the construction
of towboat of large dimensions,
whose towing apparatus has been pro
vided with a number of magnetized
pulleys. In size the main towing pull
lev is but little over four feet in di-
ameter. it being simply a solenoid
whose soft iron coil is Hanged to form
the groove the bottom of which is
bronze ring wi h rubber joints to pre-
vent the wire coil from getting wet;
the current is generated by small
dynamo. The whole const uctiOn is
stated to be simple and ofvery great
strength, and, besides the advantages
of having a small towing pulley, there
is the much greater one that the
proper amount of adhesion is obtained
with only three-quarters of a turn. A
similar nagnetized pulley acts as a
brake on the slack of the chain so that
it can be properly paid out.

The stokerS on one OF the great ocean
steamers w0rk four hours at a stretch
in temperature ranging from 12O 10
1S0 degrees, says the Popular Science
Monthly. The quarters are close and
they must take care that while feeding
enc furnace their arms are not burned
on the one behind them. Ventilation
is furnished through q shaft reaching
down to the middle of the quarters.
Each stoker tends four furnaces,
spending perhaps two or three minutes
at each, then dashes to the air pipe to
take his turn at cooling off and waits
for another call to his furnace, When
the watch is over the men go perspir.
ing through long, cold passages to
the forecasile, where they turn in for
eight hours. One man, 2S years old,
who was interviewed by 4 reporter
had been employed at the furnaces
since he was II years old. He weighed
$50 pounds and was ruddy and seem
ingly happy. He confessed that the
work was terribly hard. but sit came
hardest on those who did not follow it
regularly. But if we get plenty to
eat, he said. and take care of our
selves we are all right. Here's .
mate of mine nearly 10 years old, who
hase been a stoker all his life and CAP
do as good work as l can. Stokers
never have the consumption and rarely
catch cold. Their grog has been
knocked off on the English and Amer
lean lines because the men got drunk
too often and the grog did them much
harm. When l used to take my gro9
I'd throw in my coal like a giant and
not mind the heat bit, but when il

utes, was that weak that child could

fore the fires and the heat would sober
him off in half an hour or give him

Steam Engineering.

According to writer in Power, en-
gin ers should apply the steam engine
indicator at least once a week, and
some rig for reducing the motion of
the piston should be availa BILE which
will admit of easy attachment with
out stopping the engine. A unique
arrangement of this kind has been in
troduced, which consists of a light
brass wheel which has two diameters,
the larger diameter being of such di-
mensions that the circumference will
be one-half the stroke of the engine,
and the smaller having a circumfer-
ence one-half the length of the dia-
gram. A cord wound two or three
times around the large wheel is at
tacned to the cross-head, and cord
from the wheel of smaller diameter
leads 10 the barrel of the indicator
when in opera tion, or is hooked to an
idler cord which passes over leading
pulley to a weight, while the indica-
tor is at rest A clock spring attached
to the side of the wheel causes the re-
turn motion after the cord has been
drawn out by the mo"ing cross head.
This rig, as a permanent attachment
to The front head of an engine, has
proved satisfactory

of the largest telescope fail to show
