MACHINE TO MILK cows.
A Device Which the Gentle Animals
en-, ix.lr

A milking machine has been invented in
Scotland. 1t is said to work perfectly. 1t
is known as the Thistle" and an English
farm paper says of it:
THE nest successful milking machine
yet invented was recently shown at the
Darlington fair, where it attracted more
attention than any other novelty on exhi-
bition. The machine has been so thorough
ly tested by experts that 1t is now consid-
cred to be almost perfect, and it has given
go much satisfac ton as to warrant the
erection of large works for the manufac-
ture of the machinery. Its construction is
based on the principle of suction produced
by vacuum in a teat cup, which, pressed
against the teat of a COW, extracts the
milk, which is carried off to a receiving
pail
While the teat Is drained of its milk air
enters the cup. allowing the former pres
sure to relax, and the teat is again filled
with milk from the udder. Vacuum is once
more created in the teat cup, which again
collapses. pressing ont the milk into the
tube, and it then passes, to be received
before. The exhaustion is, of course, eff
fecteh by means of an air pump. which can
be worked by the motive power most con-
yenient."

BICYCLE IMPROVEMENTS.

Some Changes Which VIII Ne Seen
In the New Wheel.
From the Chicago Tribune Al 81 y;
Inc way some people talk one would
imagine that f1nality in bicycle construc-
ton was right at hand. Nothing of the
sort. Although the main lines of the ma
chines to be uncovered at the forthcoming
bicycle show may not present many str:k-
ing alterations to those who go there to OBJ
serve what is novel and what is fashion,
able nevertheless the 1896 bicycles will
contain as many distinct improvements
over the patterns now in use as these do
over those which they supersede. The
struction Of the crank hanger. bearing
parts, the joints of the frame and the ad-
Justment of saddles and handle bars, 1t is
every progressive manufacturers purpose
TO reduce the friction incident to the pres
emit means of propulsion to its least point
and to make the machine as rigid and as
strong as possible. at the same time keep
Ing down its weight
Many novelties are likely to he seen at
the show. The diameter of the wheels will
remain the same, but each will contain
more spokes. Barrel hubs. will be all the
CO. A good deal of attention is being paid
Just now to the construction of hubs and
many new designs will be exhibited at
show time Not all bicycle makers used
large tubing last year Every one will do
so in 1896. The tubing in the ton and lower
rails and seatpost tube will be one and one
eighth inches in diameter The head tub
ing Will be one and one-quarter inches in
diameter. and the tubing in the rear seats
and forks will be hve-eighths and three
quarters inch in diameter.
Saddles received unusual attention at the
hands of the makers this season. and next
season will be given more attention. There
Is an inclination to return to the use of
handle bars possessing q wider radius than
is now fashionable. There is also a slight
inclination to shorten up the wheel base in
order to make the machine rigid. Tandems
will be popular next year, and the varieties
will be numerous Not more than 500 tan
dems were constructed and sold in America
this year. 1t is estimated that at least TO-
600 will be manufactured for use in 1896
Another interesting point in connection
with the popularizing OF bicycles is the
promise of the manufacturers to meet the
public demand for women's machines, of
which there was a distinct scarcity In thu
season Just ended.

base ball park between the teams from
Columbian College and the Central High
School. Play was called at 3 o'clock, and
at the end of the second half the college
boys left the field with the score standing

one-sided, the game was an interesting
and sharply played contest and a number
Of good runs were made. The hest play of
the game was Jolley's run for seventy-five
yards around Columbian's end, which came
near resulting in a touchdown for the
High School. In the second half Column

all looking their best and are confident of
holding Pennsylvania score down to the
lowest point that 1t has been at this season.
Unmistakable signs of entertaining have
been noticed in the work of the Princetons
recently. and DR.. Bovaird ordered the men
to rest after the game today until Thursday
of next week. The management decided to
give the eleven a change of air, and they
will be sent to their homes until the regular
work is resumed. The Varsity INDUCED in
