Much of the presidents business consists
in signing his name, which must be attach
ed to all appointments, commissions pro
motions and a thousand and one other doc
umeuts. So eXacting is this part of his
duty that he cannot perform the whole of
it. One employee of the government gets
81 200 year for writing Mr.. Cleveland 5
name on land warrants. He does nothing
else but that
There are other officials in Uncle Sam S
employ, by the way, who do nothing else
practically but sign their own names. This
is almost the sole duty of the register of the
treasury, who is kept hard at work signing
documents from 9 a. IN. to p. m. every
day The assistant treasurer of the United
States is another slave to his own sigma
ture, which he is perpetually engaged in
affiXing to warrants for money.
Mr. Gleveland's messages to congress are
all written in autograph originally. He
does all his writing with his own hand
Such documents he produces on fOOlsCap
with pen and ink, turning off sheet after
sheet with scarcely a correction. An inter
polation is rare in his manuscript. In this
fashion his most finished speeches are
evolved. The literary method pursued by
President Harrison was wholly different.
He found it very hard to write with pen,
and so he would keep by him pad of pa.
per and a soft lead pencil.
With these he would iot down notes from
time to time during leisure moments, and
| from the memoranda thus made he would
afterward dictate to a stenOgrapher. The
messages sent to congress are careful copies
of the original Senator Edmunds, while
presiding officer pro tenn. of the upper house
refused to receive typewriter message
from the president. He claimed that thu
law required message in writing" anC
that typescript was not writing in the prop
err sense. This ruling established prec

The inventor of a new method of Danish
ing the smoke nuisance from cities using
soft coal seems to have hit on Il profitable
way Of evolving the raw material of two or
three industries He simply washes the
smoke. First, the smoke is drawn from the
stack by powerful fan and then forced
through "A revolving cylinder into tank
filled with water. Perforated beaters are
affixed to the back OF the cylinder, and
these drop into the water and scrub or wash
the smoke, which is conducted back into the
chimney in the form of "A perfectly pure va
por. The solid carbon which is washed
from the smoke appears at the bottom of
the tank as a black, foaming froth The
arrangement of the apparatus allows an
inspection of the washing process and of
the vapor, which after being cleansed is
perfectly white and odorless, and is thrown
through the chimney into the air as steam.
1t is an interesting fact that the black ex-
tract is admirably adapted for use in the
composition of paint and printing ink,
while the ammoniated water remaining
after the process of washing possesses the
properties of powerful disinfectant-St.

The construction Of good and simple
universal mounting for small telescopes
has been the aim of many instrument max
ers, and it is pleasing to note an advance in
this direction made by firm in Vienna
In their new so called universal station"
they have overcome many of the main diff
iculties The chief point about this special
kind of mounting is that the observer can
either use the telescope as a theodolite-
that is, with circles reading altitude and
azimuth-or by "A slight adjustment he may
have the equatorial mounting where the
circles read right ascension and declnation.
This end is gained by Ringing what would
be the polar axis on to pivot at the side
of the stand, thus allowing the axis to be
moved from the horizontal to the vertical
or any intermediate position A strong
metallic arc fixed on the top of the stand sup
plies means of clamping this axis and
giving it a slight adjustment. With the
axis vertical, we have then practically a
theodolte mounting. With the axis out
of the vertical, a parallactic mounting 1t
is needless to say that this mounting is
only for small telescopes, and indeed its APP
plication to large ones is not needed

yet wrought by the hand of the artist,
these old mugs have outranked more pre-

Armorial bearings, emblems and tro-

Toys That Are Not Only Ingenious
but Cheap.

but Cheap.
Never were there so many amusing tin
mechanical toys BEFORE" said the proprietor
of a shop that deals largely in playthings.
land they are astonishingly cheap. You
have no idea of the variety we have for
and 10 cents each, and for q quarter quite
elaborate toys may be purchased. such as
the climbing monkey that Is the rage just
now, and from which the inventor Is likely
to clear quite a handsome fortune.
There is jumping Jack for only cents.
whose grimaces are fast bringing him into
favor. He is Of tin, you see. and is painted
in motley colors. With one hand you grasp
him firmly by the waist from the back and
with the other hand push up and down his
high hat. This works the mechanism, and
his arms and legs move rapidly. and his
eyes roll wildly. He Is really very comical.
I'VE have frogs that jump when they are
wound up, and grasshoppers that hop, and
dogs that walk, for 10 cents each. This
kangaroo, that, with life-like hops, goes
down his inclined board, Is only 10 cents.
His moving is entirely a question Of nicely
calculated balance, and a zoologist. who
saw him the other day, declared that he
had the real marsupial motions.
This performing bear costs quarter.
When wound up he beats cymbals and plays
a tattoo on his drum at the same time, and
very similar bear appears In this toy walk
Ing across the floor and pushing pig,
whose hind legs he Is grasping, ahead OF
him. When wound this yellow and green
parrot stoops over his stand as If to
take cracker. and spreads its wings and
tail. Some Of the new playthings are work
ed like tops with the aid of piece OF
string that is wound about a knot, and
when pulled off starts the little wheels in
motion. This very dignified lady is worked
in this way, and, when wound. Will walk
quite a distance across the floor.
THE aquatic toys are very clever We
have a number of boats of q variety of
builds, and these are always popular with
