4 BIG SCALE.

E. & T. Fairbanks have completed
the 15Oto platform scale for the
Watervliet arsenal at West Troy, N
Y, and the scale will be shipped
| there at once. 1t has platform II
| by Is feet and has the greatest weigh
| ing capacity for the size of the plat
form of any scale in the world. 1t
| will be used to weigh the cannon for
our government and this scale could
easily weigh the great Krupp gun
which was at the Worlds Fair, and
which weighed about 125 tons. The
scale was built at the factory in about
two months and all the patterns were
new. From the standpoint Of scale
maker the arrangement of the levers
is much like those on the railroad
track scales, but the scale when COM
pleted is much larger. 1t is eight feet
high, weighs about 10 tons and is
built entirely of iron, with the eXcep-
ton of the great oak beams on which
the cannon rests when 1T is being
weighed. The frame is built of r.
inch iron beams and the whole scale
rests on eight wheels. The beam will
weigh up to 200, 900 pounds, weights
being used for the additional 100000
pounds This beam has ton notches.
The fractional beam has 10 pound
notches and weighs up to one ton. So
delicate is the scale adjusted that
four pound weight will tip the beam.
The scale has been tested to a ton
more than it's capacity and has attrac-
ted much attention in the machine
shop the past week.-Cdledonia

ment of the government receipts and
expenditures shows in round figures
that the expenditures for the first
seven months of the current fiscal
year exceeded the receipts by $780,
900 600. These figures, if the ratio is
carried through the entire fiscal year,
would make the deficit for the year
$50, 100000.

to learn that work upon this road IS now
being pushed with more vigor than ever be-
fore, and certainly all will agree that vlgor
has characterized this undertaking from its
inception. By the issue of those 2O'year
gold bonds with interest payable seml-an-
nually at 5 per cent. all question as to
capital seems to have been Immediately
settled. Judging from the way the bonds
were taken they were regarded as an I'M
usually good investment. All along the
line the people will be pleased to be assured
that by the first of the new year regular
trains will in all probability be running be-
tween Albion and Wiscasset. The energy
with which this project has been pushed
deserves to be, and we have no doubt will
be successful from the start.
