Aluminium HEADLIGHT.

A headlight is now manufactured
which win be highly appreciated by
medical practitioners. Since the prac-
tee Of translumination. or the lighting
up of animal tissue in order to detect
morbid growths has been introduced
into surgery great improvements have
been made in means whereby the sur
geon can instantly project q flood of
light on any desired surface, while the
hands are perfectly free. This is eff
fected by a powerful lamp, attached
to a band, encircling the head of the
operator. The improved lamp is of
aluminium, and is so light that it's
weight is scarcely perceptible on the
head. A universal joint enables the
light to be changed TO any required po-
sition.. The front Of the lamp has a
disk of glass, in the center OF which
is a lens which throws a strong and
concentrated light on the point of OPP
Grafton. The edges of the disk are
ground glass, sc that a diffused light is
shed upon the surface Immediately
surrounding the point most brilliantly
Illuminated, instead of its being In total
darkness.

roo MANY spARRows.

Tlae English BIRD In Not Esen = Fayorite In
His Own Home.
1t appears that the sdetested English
sparrow is by no means q general favor
lite in his own home across the water,
where his habits have been more care
fully noted. ~
In the course Of his paper ON VIVID
Birds, Useful and Injurious, in the
Royal Agricultural society's journal,
Mr.. G. F. Archibald says: 1.-THE sparrow
has received an OVERLOOKING measure of
abuse from farmers and gardeners, and,
notwithstanding all that has been urged
in its favor by enthusiastic advocates,
there cum be little doubt that it deserves
q large share of the vituperation be-
slowed upon it. The keynote to the spar
rows character is to be found in the
delusion under which it labors that
corn growing is carried ON for its es-
pecial benefit. Grain is undoubtedly the
mainstay OF the sparrow. This it OBJ
tains in the fields Mt seedtime, when
sprouting, in the unripe, milky condi-
tion, and when fully matured. AT this
last named period q quantity OF grain is
wasted by being shaken ont ON the
ground by the birds, In addition to the
amount actually consumed. AT this
time, too, numbers of sparrows which
live for the greater part Of the year in
towns d tempted to visit the field,
their grimy appearance ~proclaiming
their usual haunts. sG ~ &
In gardens the sparrow finds full
scope for its destructive propensities In
devouring peas, of which it is very fond,
as wellsassa few .gooseberries and cher.
ries. In the most miscellaneous way, too,
it, pulls TO pieces the flowers of the
crocuss dahlia, primrose, p0lyanthus,
hepaticas hcartsease, wistaria, the shoots
of pinks and carnations, the pods of the
laburnum and the blossom or fruit
trees. Is also does considerable damags
to beds of young radishes and lettuces,
besides levying toll on the grass seeds
sown IN lawns. On the other band, il
must be freely admitted that the spar
row doesa great deal of good.
Among the pests destroyed by tbs
sparrows are wireworms, daddy long,
legs, weevils from peas and beans
aphides, caterpillars of various kinds
h~onsefies. blue beetles. I black beetles
and white butterflies. In some districtl
Shoviss, otherwise known a. Maybugs
occasionally do immense damage, and
at such times sparrows have been seen
with theiS mouths crammed full q
them. The quality OF weed seeds which
the sparrow eats must also be placed &
its credit, for in this wayis helps b
suppress such Objectionable plants a
charlock. corn bind weed, g~oosefOot
knotgrass. buttercup. d~Andelion, chick
weed and dock"

Washing air of its impurities by pass
ing 1t through water scheens or through
chambers into which water is profusely
sprayed. is a well known and much
used process in heating and ~ventilating
practice. Its merits were c~onclusively
demonstrated years ago, and ever since
advantage has been taken Of them In
large v~entilating installations IN which
their expense was warranted, and
where a smoky and an unclean outside
atmosphere suggested the desirability
of submitting the air to some cleansing
process before allowing it to pass into
buildings. 1t lis not surprising, there
fore, that a somewhat analogous meth
cd should have suggested itself as OF
likely service In dealing with the now
so much discussed smoke problem, n
that 1t should have been tried with en-
~couraging results. At any rate, a news
paper paragraph, now going the rounds,
tells of its application by an English
factory owner, whose repeated CONNECTS
with the local smoke ordinan ,e prompt
ed experiments in this direction, n
apparently with perfect satisfaction.
According to the published description,
somewhat indefinite, perhaps, In a few
respects, the apparatus used by MIN
consists of q large cast-iron tank, In
which is a slotted barrel, which Ia filed
with p~erforated heaters. and the tank
L. partly filed with water. The smoke
ia drawn into the barrel from the ma
chinery by a powerful fan, and under
goes a scrubbing. process. The barrel
rotates very rapidly, churning up the
smoke with the water. On the top OF
the barrel are several semi-circulaI
trays or sleeves, which are perforated
and effect the purpose OF further wash
ing the smoke. The smoke which es-
capes from the heaters is caught again
by these sleeves and dashed down again
by a very fine spray of water from the
heaters. The back sludge Of solid mat
ter is forced to the top of the chamber
and thrown over into a chute, which
conveys 1t to u wooden tank. The
smoke which finally escapes from the
machine is said to be comparatively iLS
offensive, and there Is certainly good
reason to believe that this should be
SO. ss -
1t is interesting to note, moreover,
that the use Of the apparatus does not
end with the cleansing Of the smoke.
The black deposit gathered by 1T IL
taken off In barrels to be used in the
making of paint and printing ink, yield
ing an acceptable revenue instead OF
polluting the atmosphere, and the re-
naming liquid il said to have proved
itself q most valuable ~disinfectant.
Thus O two-fold purpose Is accomplish
ed, either one of which would seem to
be quite sufficient to commend the pro-
cess to manufacturing communities i'm
which smoke suppression is a live topic.

A west bound train had just pulled
out OF the Union station at Albany,
says the Express, and the conductor
was harvesting tickets. All the seats
were taken and several of the passen-
gers were obliged to stand up. Among
the latter was a difident-looking, mild
hammered man, who, much TO the con-
ductor's surprise, refused to give up q
ticket. aH q ~ t%4g@. 49,
When / get a seat you get a ticket"
he remarked mildly, bUt firmly; you
are probably aware that the company
cannot collect fares from passengers
whom 1t does not provide with seats"

Wen see about that" growled the
conductor, who was becoming quite
warm In the region Of the collar.
Il would il I were you" remarked
the passenger, still mildly, smiling
pleasantly. -, t
Then the conductor hustled around
and finally found a brother conductor
who was going up the road away,
whom he induced to give up his seat
to the mildly firm passenger.
There's a seat for you,' now give
me that ticket" said the conductor in a
ferocious tone.

Registering the Strength OF Fibers.

ft&8hSNEElu8 Inc StEem&AM Oh HAWGESs
A handy and useful machine has
been invented for testing the strength
Of fibers while in Il raw or unmanu-
featured state. So as to secure uni
formity in the tests the quantity Of
fibers to be tested is regulated by a
gauge specially provided for the pur-
pose. The respective ends of the fbers
are then placed in two yises, n OF
which is coupled up to the piston of n
pneumatic check cylinder, while the
other is attached by a strong cable to
a worm and wheel motion. The han
die connected with the worm gearing
Is then turned, and by an automatic
adjustment of the pressure in the pneu-
matte cylinder the utmost limit of the
capacity Of the fiber is reached before
breaking takes place. The actual break
ing strength of the fiber is registered
ON a dial fixed on the cylinder casing.
This machine should be useful to spin
ners and merchants for testing the
quality of their samples, and planters
and wool growers should find it service
able in determining the value Of their
raw material.
