Steam Gauups.

A writer in Machinery points out the
fact, Us ascertained by examination, that
but very few steam gauges are correct
throughout the whole range Of the scale
and remarks that in testing gauge it
is desirable to make the pressure at
which steam is usually carried the most
important point to be determined. A
gauge may be correct at low pressure
and not SO at higher pressures, and the
reverse may also be found, especially
with gauges that have been in use some
time. BY many it is not considered ad-
visable to use o gauge for recording pres
sures as high as that shown on the dial,
as few springs will stand such an ex-
tension without becoming permanently
set, to a certain extent, this being es-
pecially the case with the cheaper
gauges. 1t is, according to this writer,
not difficult matter to devise means
for comparing with test gauge any
kind of force pump serving the purpose,
or the boiler feed pump may be util.
lied. Again, gauges can be tested by fit
ting them to piece of lead pipe, a
gauge at either end, the pipe being bent
to bring the gauges vertically.

FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
THE CLEVER PARSoN.

My children, come toll mo now II you have oyer
Been told OF tho pnrson who was so clever;
SO clever, so clever. so clever was ne
Thst n5ver o ccveror parson could be.
Tho parson loved children; he also loved WALK
ing,
Ane of to the woods he was constantly stalk
ing,
To smell the sweet cir, and to SEQ the green
And to do Just exactly whate'er he might
please
Some children they went with him once to the
wood
(They loved the good parson because he was
good)
They followed him gayly for many mile,
To list to his voice and to look on his smile.
At length the children cried: "oh--dear-
MEL
We're tired-as tired as tired con bel
IT'S supper tme, too, while afar thus we
roam
Oh, pray you, dear parson do carry us homel"
The children were six, and the parson was
one;
Now, goodness grocious What was to be donet
He sat himself down in the shade of q tree,
And pondered the matter most thoughtfully
At length he exclaimed: "My dear little
chicks,
might carry one, but can't carry six.
Yet courage! your parsons good care will pro-
vido
That each of you homo en- fne horse shall
ride"
He drew out his jackknife, so broad and so
bright
And fell to work slashing with main and with
might,
Till ready there-one, two, three, four, five and
six
Lay, stout and smooth-polished, some excellent
sticks.
Now mount your good horses, my children"
he cried:
Now. mount your good horses and merrily
ridel
canter, q trot and q gnllop away.
And we shall get home ere the close of the day."
The children forgot they were dreadfully tired;
They seized on the hobbies, with ardor iB-
spired.
"Gee, Dobbinl whoa, Dobbinl come up, Dob.
bin, do
Oh! parson, dear parson, won't you gallop,
toop"
Away went the children In frolicsome gee,
Away went the parson, as pleased as could be;
And when they got back to the village they
cried:
"oh. dearl and oh, dsar what Uery short
ridei"

est grade) and two coats of varnish.
The telephone attachment can be
added in the following manner: Find
goSd-sized (one-half pounD baking
powder box, remove the cover, and
punch very small hole in center of
bottom. In this hole fasten long
string free from knots. Put very
small hole in the center of the side of
the harp. Hang the harp by strings
attached to it's legs, and hold in place
by guy strings. See that the strings OF
the harp are at right angles with the
wind. Stretch the cord tight (allowing
it to come in contact with nothing but
the harp and baking-powder can), and
you will hear the sound vibrations
thrown out from the harp and trans
mitted through the cords and magni-
fed by the baking-powder can held
close to your ear. An eolian harp will
not play unless placed in direct con-
tact with good breeze. If placed on
window sill without telephone at
tachment the harp can stand on its
legs; but If suspended in a tree in the
back yard, 1t could be bottom side up,
and thus in case of rain or snow the
strings and interior will be protected.
The bass string will not rust, being
covered with fine copper wire. The
other strings and screws can be coated
with machine oil, which will protect
them from the weather. The higher
the harp is tuned the stronger must
the breeze be required to make the
sound vibrations.-H. Percy Ashley, in
Harpers Young People.

AN EOLlAN HARP.
Directions for Making One with Tele-
phone Attachment.

Directions for Making One with Teie-
phone Attachment.
There are many of our young read
ers who have heard the sweet tones of
an molian-harp, but when they attempt
to make one they find the principal
difficulty seems to be that the noise of
the wind deadens the music of the
harp. There is solution of this prob
lem. Below we give draught of an
eolian-harp. The sounding-boS is con-
structed of the best-seasoned pine one
eighth of an inch thick, and free from
knots and checks. The top and bottom
measure 21X6 inches, the sides 2x23A
inches, the ends 2x6 inches. In the
center of the upper board saw out a
circle 9 inches in diameter. (This
opening allows the vibrations, or
sound-waves, to escape from the box.)
Now take two pieces of pine, each
measuring 59lx2X1XI inch, shape it
so that one side will be perpendicular
and two sides horizontal, and one side
an angle (see draught interior of head
and taiD. These form the braces at
each end of the sound-bcX to resist
the strain of the strings, and are
placed at the extreme ends of the box
on the inside. When putting the box
together fasten the top on last. Every
contact surface should receive a liberal
coat of glue, and small brads driven
home when the glue is in liquid state
insure the box being air-tight, except
the two-inch hole. Two bridges, tri-
angular in shape, 8 inches in length,
and half an inch on each side of the
triangle, are fastened half an inch
from the tail and AZ inches from the
head. Four notches are cut in each to
receive the strings. In the head are
placed four screws, each screw being
IL inches long; in the tail end are four
strong wire nails always use round
surface nail, to prevent the cutting of
the strings). Procure a spool of
mandolin-wire strings, and bass
string of a banjo (silk body.
Loop them on the wire nails at the
tail, and wind the other end around
the screws; first passing it through the
slot of the screw by taking single
hitch around the standing part of the
wire insures it's not slipping. Three
legs on the harp are preferable, as it
may stand on an uneven surface. Give

Lady Berkeley paused in her nara
tive, and sighed.
She was looking into the fire with
her hands clasped on her knee, and
thought her face pathetically sad.
Silence reigned for minute, but be
fore anyone had chance to speak
Lady Berkeley continued:
well, the young people were tolt

went up to Milford and wished t.

"The clergyman and his wife were
broken hearted, but dared not oppos'
the rightSul father after their selfish
ness in depriving him all those years o

"A compromise, however, was made
that lmogene should live in her oil
home three months of the year.
"She then went away with Mr. Prem
tice, but never came back to Milford
for, before the year was out, she wa
engaged to an Englishman, and 500

looking at Jonson, said, with a smile:

that Mr.. Prentice, Sr., had been up to
ace them and was equally pleased with
the engagement.
''ln the course OF ten days came q

"This message was dreadful blow
to the young people concerned, and

However,, nothing could be done
but await his wife's arrival, and then
matters would probably straighten

HIM.
"Mr. Prentice was as much distressed
at the broken engagement as the

1T is easier for you to imagine, than
for me to describe his sensations, as
she explained her cable by this story.

"'Mr. Prem tice, your wife was a very
