Feeding by Machinery.

An electric horse feeder, Is a new
invention brought out by Mr. Alder
son, OF Chesterfield, for securing the
regular feeding of horses during the
absence from any cause of the stable
man or groom. The apparatus is de-
scribed as being very simple, the law
of gravitation being depended upon
to accomplish most Of the work. The
first requisite is an alarm CLOCK,
which should be good enough not to
stop casually, but need not be expen-
sive. The electric plant Is that
needed for an ordinary electric bell,
four cells OF the Leclanche type OF
battery being sufficient for any dis
lance up to 200 yards. The third
portion Of the apparatus is the feed
er-that is to say, the vessel holding
the corn and chaff, as the case may
be. The clock, which is the prime
mover of the whole concern, may be
In the house, the harness room or
anywhere, but If 1t be more than 200
Yards away from the feeder a more
powerful battery will be required.
To use the feeder, the first thing Is
to set the alarm of the clock at the
hour at which it is desired that the
horses should be fed. The food is
then placed in a Unlike biscuit box.
which is turned upside down, and
placed in the proper compartment or
the shute, when the lid of the box Is
drawn out, the corn then resting up
ON the floor of q trap-like arrange
ment, held in its place by a simple
contrlyance. When the alarm goes
off a button is pressed and the cir
cult is completed. A weight falls,
the bottom Of the feed box Is re-
leased, and the corn falls out into the
manger.

a E;noerIess Family.

Ina Lincolnshire village in Eng
and, lives a family who suffer under
the curious deformitY of being finger
less. This popularity does not ap'
pear to be one OF those freaks OF Ma
ture which may appear in one indl-
vldual, and not be transmitted 10
the next generation. From what
can be learned, the singularlty has
existed in this family so far as his
tory and tradition extends and there
seems at present no signs OF its dying
out as the grandchildren are as de-
void of fingers as their grandslre.
The hands Of this remarkable fam
lily resent the appearance OF having
had the fingers amputated, or chopped
of roughly and uneyeniY below the
second Joint, leaving a short stump.
There is no nail or hard substance.
and were it not for the absence OF
ANYTHING like a cjcatrlc casual OBJ
server would conclude that the de-
feet was due to an accident; but, as
though Nature had attempted to
compensate for the absence OF fingers,
the thumbs are abnormally large and
strong.
The family are in other respects
fully endowed by Nature, and do no1
ap2ear to suffer the disadvantages
the absence of fingers might be ex-
pected to entail. One OF the daugn-
ters, aged 20, can write, sew, knlt,
and is in every way as dexterous and
accomplished as other girls OF her
age and station. When asked l. she
did notfnd itawkward to be finger
less" she replied:
- NJ! If you had never had fiL-
gers, you would not know you needed
them"
The only drawback that seemed to
be occasloned is the curiosity the all
sence of fingers evokes from stranC-

What He Wanted.

One evening, at a symphony re-
hearsal of the Meiningen orchestra,
Bulow stopped the orchestra and ex-
claimed: kettle drums forte" The
drummer, who thought he had done
pretty we'll already, redoubled his
efforts; but again Bulow stopped and
shouted: "Kettle.drums forte" Once
more the drummer put on extra
steam; and, when Bulow stopped
again, he exclaimed: REALLY, Herr
Kapellmeister, if | beat any harder L
shall break the drum-heads" "Who
asked you to do that?" retorted Blu
low, quietly; you play fortissimo,
and what l want is forte only"
