TOOK A MEDAL.
Somsihins About Prot. Rogers at the Worlds
Fair.

The exhibit of Professor w. A. Rogers
of Colby University at Chicago, as part
of the State educational exhibit, received
the award of diploma and medal. This
exhibit consisted of the following pieces Of
apparatus:
A comparator for measuring and compar-
ing standards of length up to total length
Of 100 inches.
A circular graduating machine for the
original graduation of circles up to two feet
in diameter. An original graduation OF
circle was made during the Fair in which
the ma ximum error amounted to only three
seconds of arc. Under more favorable
circumstances in regard to temperature and
freedom from disturbance, it has been
found easy to reduce the error to quantity
below one second of arc, being the lowest
Init yet reached.
A large precision screw six feet in length,
of which the maximum error does not ex-
coed one six-thousandths of an inch.
A case of standards of length which con-
tanned yard and the meter upon bars OF
polished steel, of speculum metal, OF glass
and upon brass, inlaid with silver, gold and
platinum. All these measures OF length
arc standard at G2 degrees Fahrenheit.
Several of the bars contain both the yard
and the meter upon one bar, the meters
being subdivide into 1000 equal parts and
the yard subdivided to ten,hs Of inches with
further subdivisions to -thousandths OF
an inch.
One of the standard, exhibited has been
made the tasis of the measurements made
BY Professor Rogers for the determining
the relative lengths Of the yard and the me-
ter. He ha, fourd the relnive to be; one
meter equal SO .370l5 inches, = value con-
siderably less than that heretofore assumed
"a be correct. This value has been suit
stautialIy confirmed by the investigations
recently made at tie International bureau
of weights and measures at Paris.
A combined yard and meter upon glass
ha, considerable historic and scientific in
terest. This bar was made by Chance &
Sons, London. for the British board OF
trade. with the view Of determining whether
4 given length traced upon it would suffer
any change by change Of molecular struc-
ture by age. This bar was committed to
Professor Rogers for graduation in 1880.
Since that dase yearly comparisons have
been made with standard upon steel with
the result that no appreciable change OF
length has taken place between 1881 and
1894.

Beginning the first Of next month the
mail carriers will use leather straps with
the patent Lamb safety fastener to hold
their mail matter together while they are
distributing it. The straps will be used
in place Of Irvine aud rubber bands and
they will be more convenient. They
cost less than the twine and rubber bands
so the post-ofiice department. concludes.
1t is said tina. the cum of $4,000 year
has been paid out by the government for
Irvine alone and the straps, it is thought
will cost less besides being more useful.
There are three sizes of them.

The following definition Of what druds-
cry on the farm il should be read and re-
membered. It was q Maine instisnte Il Z
past winter that this definition was given !:
"Drudgery in farming consists in doing
things aboat which practically man know )
nothing. will not try to find ont. and trusts
to luck for success
The effects of bacteria in the dairy are
being widely recognized and rightly 90.
And in this connection anything like mold
is to be avoided in the dairy for il il be-
lieved that bacteria is thus introduced into
the milk which prevents successful hand
ling of it and many times 10 found blam-
able for butter not coming when all other
reasons fail to explain. 1t will be gen.
orally conceded that feeding moldy
fodder ia the dairy stable is unvise. There
are few however, who win 60 with certain
scientist to the length of saying that cows
feeding upon pasturage top dressed with
manure made from moldy straw are affec-
ted thereby. This may have . little Of
truth in it provided the cows were turned
into the pasture Immediately after such top
blessing is applied.
New York farmers are in trouble because
many have dehorned their cattle without
molestation while others have been stopped
by agents of the society With long name.
As to the prsc ice of dehorning there are
different opinions but where the operation
properly conducted there seems to be no
re son for the S. 2. C. A. to interfere.
The past winter has been such that few
farmers have not had opportunity to pre-
pare for the warmer seasons. The enter
prising man has had his next seasons fuel
prepared and the general winter cleaning
up done several weeks ago. The past week
or two has been such that some considers
BILE repair Of the fences has been possible.
The farm tools may have been ex-
amined aro many hours have been saved
for next summer by careful forethought
aad provision. Now while there seems to
be no end to this kind of work there is OPP
portunity if one will only zee and grasp it
for helping the good housewife to prepare
for the coming seasons. This is just the
occasion when much can be done to make
the farm home attractive this summer. The
grounds can be cleaned up, paint and
whitewash can be applied with good
effect both inside and outside, cosy
seats for the veranda can be got
in readiness and little good taste and
paint will work wonders in this respect.
Avoiding colors that clash and make loud
noise there is much that can be done in
makicg more attractive the living rooms of
the house. Enamel paint in harmonizing
colors applied to chairs, picture frames, ETC.,
will work magic. Spring il the harvest
time of much that will delight the senses
and cultivate the mind Throughout the COM
ing year.

The retreat Of the Chinese army from
Korea without having made any great
show Of resistance has set all the mill
tary men guessing. No one can tell why
the emperor should allow the seat of
war to be transferred to his own do
main. It will be seen at a glance that
for the purpose Of fighting Korea is far
better than the Chinese frontier. In the
face Of all this and for no apparent rea-
son the troops Of the emperor have been
withdrawn, and the japanese have been
allowed to mass their armies on the pen
insula which oomposes Korea.
II story which came out today is
true, all the sighting things said of the
Celestials and their leaders will have to
be withdrawn. What is apparently the
most fragrant piece of military mis-.
management may be stroke Of genius

THE PHONAUTOGRAPH.

A Remarkable Machine Invented by q Cali
fornia Genius.
A San Francisco man has invented a
machine which will do away with type
writers, both instruments and operators,
if he succeeds in perfecting his inven-
tion. z.@.s=a
The new machine combines the phono-
graph and the typewriter, and in looks
bears considerable resem blance to cash
register. On the front of the machine
are small electric buttons, which you
press before talking into the mouthpiece
projecting from the upper part. This
mouthpiece is connected with a revolv-
ing cylinder, which receives impressions
in a way similar to the Edison phono-
graph. A travelling needle regulates the
position of the impressions on the cyl
inder according to the size of the paper
they are to be reproduced on.
The filled cylinder is placed on roll
ers in the lower part of the machine.
Above the rollers is a supply of paper
for receiving the written characters.
There are several mysteries about the
working Of the new invention. No ink
is used, the written characters being
produced in bold, round hand by
chemical action. It spells entirely by
sound and is unable as yet to cope with
the diphthong, the silent letter, the cap
ital, the semicolon or figures, but it
will receive the sounds Of the human
voice in any language except Chinese
and reproduce them in plain English
ohirography. .-.
This seeming fairy tale comes from
the financial backer and the inventor,
these two men being the only persons
who have seen the wonderful machine.
