Improvement in Fences.

This invention relates to light, port
able fence, easily moved from place to
place. and quickly set up and connect
ed where desired without the labor
of digging postholes, Mt the same time
1t forms firm fence. and cannot be
lifted or disconnected by swine to get
under, but is quickly and easily separ-
uted and removed when desirable.
This fence Is constructed in lengths
or panels, rs light as consistent with
strength, consisting of two posts A
and B Gig. 81 of unequal length, con-
nected by suitable number of rails
preferably iive) with brace about the
midlength of each panel. The post A
at one end of oh panel is only of suf-
1icient length for the attachment of the
rails, but the other, B, is longer. leaving
n foot to support the panel above the
ground of such length as may be neces-
sary The top, bottom and center
rails, more or less, of each panel, ex-
tend ut ench end beyond the posts,
and are gained out (c), for half their
width. The panels are connected by en-
gaging the gains Of one panel in the
corresponding ones Of the next. as
shown. and are set upon the ground in
a zigzag form, so that each panel serves
as a brace for those adjacent.
To secure the connection Of the panels
from the accidental disengageinent, one
or more of the intermediate rails b
have tongues alternately upon their up
per and lower edges, which, engaging
under and over each other in the man.
ner shown when the fence 1t set up
in its zigzag position, prevent the lift

A Big Undertakang.

The attention of New Workers has
been SO fixed on the possible cOnstruc-
tion In the near future Of bridge over
the North River to the New Jersey
shore that little notice has been taken
of project Of almost MS much impor-
tance-to bridge the East River and
give the wealthy Long Island railroad
access to the heart Of the metropolis.
The scheme Is part of great under
taking, very dear to its protector, Aus
tin Corbin, to make some day harbor
for Transatlantic steamers at the ex-
treme eastern end of Long Island,
which will reduce the passage to
Queenstown by several hours and en-
able the modern large passenger
steamers to avoid passing through the
Narr0ws. The structure Is to be Duiit
under charter granted many years ago
to Il Dr. Rainy. 1t is to cross the river
over Blackwells Island, the penal and
insane settlement of New York City.
There are to be three river and two
anchor spans, supported by four steel
piers, two on the island within the bulk
head line and one on either shore, also
within the bulkhead line, thus leaving
the existing navigable channels entire
ly unObstructed. The bridge will have
two water spans Of 80 feet each and n
clear headway Of 1853 feet, 1S feet more
that that Mt the Brooklyn bridge. The
total cost of the bridge is estimated at
$3O,OOO,OOO and the consent Of the ma
tional and municipal authorities has
been secured.

In reply to the question. how to break
n half-blood Jersey heifer from sucking
herself, +. e. Emery. Of the North
Carolina experiment station, says:
We would not attempt a cure on an
animal of ordinary value. Side bars or
nose contrivances will prevent the suck
ing, but an ordinary beast is not worth
the trouble entailed. 1t Is probably one
chance in ten II your heifer freed from
the habit will yield enough to pay cost
of feed and risk and pay for herself.
Then add the trouble and expense to
overcome vicious and vexatious habit,
1t is too much. We advise you to beef

A device to protect fruit-bearing trees
from the destructive work Of creeping
insects and other vernin can be made
of amy flexible sheet metal. preferably
tin, and is so cut and formed that when
applied to n tree 1t resembles the frus-
tr,lm of cone, rs at Il, Fig. 1. 1t Is
held In place by an elastic band (c)
which passes over hooks or projections
on its opposite ends and draws them
together. making 1t fit snug around the
tree. If the tree should be uneven or
have cavities In its bark the clnsping
edge Of the protector can be forced or
bent into them. SO that correct fit is
made.
These protectors are made at a very
light cost. and can be of the largest size
by scanning together several pieces Of
tin. The lower edge can be turned up
slightly, to hold some repulsive COM
pound or liquid. as shown in Fig 2
(b), but this is not necessary for protec-
tion against the canker- worm, for which
the device is mainly Intended to be
used.

An ..av.nce I'm c..tias Steel.

Among the recent advances made in
casting steel may be mentioned one for
making casting having one or more
faces much harder than its body. This
is done by lining the mold where 1t is
desirable to harden the face of the pro-
duct with crushed or powdered metal
lie alloy, which will be absorbed and as
Simulated by the molten steel in con-
tact with 1t. The result Is a product
which may be hardened readily. II 1t
is desired to give the casting perfect
ly hard surface for stamp shoes, ham,
mer dies or similar objects. powdered
fcrro-manganese Is often added. II 1t
is desired to machine the surface and
harden 1t afterward, ferro-chrOme Is
most suitable. The fact that 1t is pos
sible to produce soft steel casting
having a face which can be hardened
without making the rest Of the metal
brittle renders 1t possible to use steel
castings instead Of chilled iron in many
places.

An Electric s..l-unh.,r,ns Machine.

An Electric seal-UnhairinE Machine.
1t is hard to conceive how electricity
can be directly utilized in "unhairing"
the much-prized skin of the seal and
making 1t ready for use as wearing ap-
parel, but this is actually done. Like
the skin of the beaver and other AMI
mails, the sealskin is covered with soft
aowny hairs, among which are inter
spersed certain proportion Of long
stiff hairs, which have to be removed
before the well-known glossy appear
ance of the skin can be produced.
Formerly this unhairing was done by
hand, and was naturally a tedious pro-
cess. A machine has been invented for
doing it by electricity and both the time
and labor involved has been greatly
reduced. One New York firm alone Is
now operating sixty Of these machines,
in the sewing and preparation Of seal
skins for which 100 girls are kept con.
stantly busy. The machine somewhat
resembles the cOtton-gln, and like it.,
has a rotary brush. But in the place
of the saw used In the gin, a platinum
wire 10 inches long is employed. The
wire Is kept red hot by passing heavy
current through 1t. The sealskin runs
through rollers up a nat steel plate,
over the edge Of which 1t turns sharp
ly. The long hairs stand out stitfiy,
and pass across the hot platinum wire,
which is kept tightly stretched. low
enough down to burn the hairs on.
The skin then feeds 2-1OOOth OF an Inch
before the hot wire comes down again.
AS it passes the rotary brushes the skin
is cleansed, the burned hairs are
brushed on, and the fur comes out
smooth and shining.
