Can you Keen Your Hand stllIq

Thought proyokes action Think OF
doing something, and (unconsciously,
perhaps) you begin to do it.
In the university Of Wisconsin Pro-
fessor Jasrow has an instrument called
the automatograph, which shows very
clearly and precisely the automatic
movements Of the hand
1t consists merely Of piece Of glass
resting on three movable metal feet, or,
in other words, it is small carriage
which will shift its position at the slight
est movement
At the end is needle fixed vertically,
and in contact with a roll of paper COW
cred with a layer Of lampblack- If the
apparatus moves, the movement is traced
on the paper by the needle Both paper
and needle are hidden by a screen
Professor Jastrow tells you to rest
your hand upon the glass and keep it
perfectly still This appears quite easy,
but when you think that your hand is
quite motionless you find to your sur
prise that the needle is tracing lines on
the paper.
The fact is you cannot keep your hand
still. Unconsciously and inyisibly it
moves with your thoughts. Look at that
pair Of scales, watch how the rod goes
this way and that way as the scales
move. Now look at the black paper.
You will find that your hand has been
moving exactly in agreement with the
movement Of the rod

Compressed Air In Machine Shops.

Machine shop use Of compressed air
has been growing rapidly Of late, and
varied service is now being regularly
performed by compressed air appliances
which not a great while ago were de-.
cidedly exceptional Compressed air
shop hoists. perhaps more than any 9TH
er similar class Of apparatus, have come
into favor and are extensively employed
over lathes, planers, drill presses and
other tools, greatly facilitating the ham
ding Of pieces of work too heavy to be
lifted without some special contriyance.
Some Of these hoists are permanent fix
lures, others are suspended from trolleys
running on overhead rails and can be
readily shifted about from one point to
another. as occasion may require, taking
their supply Of air through flexible hose
connections, and being thus available
for miscellaneous hoisting service, load
ing and unloading freight and the like.
In one large railroad shop in the west
ern part Of the United States small hoist
ing cylinders are scattered promiscuous-
" about and save an immense amount
Of manual labor in lifting and handling
materials at the different machines
They consist Of 10 inch wrought iron
pipe not bored, but simply ratified, and
afterward still further smoothed by
pressing a mandrel through them The
air valves for the cylinders are conven-
iently worked by a regulating lever and
chain. CASTER Magazine.

CURIOUS BEDSTEADs.
One Made OF Gold and Another OF Glass.
An Electric Bed.

One Made OF Gold ana Another VI oi@S''
An Electric Bed.
Although the majority OF mankind Is
content with the conventional bedstead,
manufactured either from wood, iron
or brass, there exist certain individuals
whose tastes, as regards this necessary
article Of domestic furniture, are by no
means so simple.
Such, for instance, was the Parisian
gentleman who a short time ago ordered
from a firm in Paris a golden bedstead,
every part of which, even down to the
laths. was made of this precious metal.
At first sight this certainly looks like
piece Of unwarrantable extravaganza,
vet who knows but that the gentleman
looked upon it in the nature OF an ih-
yestment, which he could at any mo-
ment realize If he felt so inclined!
Eaually uncommon was the bedstead
which an old lady, who certainly mad
only tasted the Pierian spring OF scien-
tifc knowledge. ordered TO be construct
ed for her use. She had read somewhere
that glass insulatcrs placed under the
casters of bedstead were conducive TO
the retention of electricity in the body,
and so she argued that bedstead COM
posod entirely of glass would prove a
still better contrivance. Accordingly
she had such a glass bedstead construct
ed. which on completion proved to be
bv no means an inartistic piece Of fur
niture.
Apropos Of electricity, early in the
present century DR.. Grahame, quack,
who made and lost large fortune over
tho Temple of Hygiene, " was in the
habit Of selling electric bedsteads at the
price Of 5000 apiece, the property OF
which beds, he advertised, was to re.
iuvenate the persons who slept in them
as well as to give them beauty and
health.
As matter Of fact, these bedsteads
were nothing more than ordinary brass
ones. with battery attached, while all
that could be said in their favor was
that they were perfectly harmless.
But by far the most curious kinds OF
bedsteads are to be found in what we
may term mechanical bedsteads, which
some people of eccentric habits have
/ from time to time ordered to be made
A retired sea captain who, although
not actually mentally deranged, was
what one may call ION the borderland,
declared to his friends that he could not
sleep unless he felt the motion OF the
sea. Night after night this unfortunate
gentleman kept awake, thereby causing
considerable damage to his health. At
last it occurred to his medical adviser
that something might be done in order
to produce, by mechanical means, the
movement which his patient SO much
desired. A consultation with practical
engineer resulted in the production OF
a bedstead which, by means OF machin-
cry, moved the mattress upon which the
captain was to sleep up and down, pro-
ducing in every way the effect SO mucn
desired. This bedstcad proved great
success, and the captain was no Longer
troubled with insomnia. New York

A BROKEN HEART.

A little china figure
On little bracket sat,
His little feet were always crossed.
He wore little hat.
And every morning, fair or foul,
In shine or shadows din,
A pretty little housemaId came
And softly busted him.
She took him up so gently,
And with such charming air
His china soul was melted quite,
Aud loved her to despair,
All day he sat and thought of her.
Until the twilight came,
And in his chisa dreams at night
He breathed her little name.
One day whist being busted,
In his joy be trembled so.
To feel her little fingers, that,
Ala she let him 60.
In vain she tried to grab him back,
Fate willed it they should part;
He fell against the fender edge
And broke his little heart.
She gathered up his fragments,
And she told little lie,
Expounding to her mistress how
The cat had made him die.
And on the following morning, when
The shutters back she thrust,
She spoke his little epitaph-
There's one thing less to dust"

Mr.. Shields and Mayor Collihan.

Yesterday afternoon James Shields,
proprietor of the Mansion House in the
First ward, and who is also the owner of
livery stable in town and branch stables
in Mahanoy City, accompanied by Mayor
Collihau, of Gilberton, and ex Council
man and Agriculturist Moakler, of town,
went to Mahanoy City behind spanking
blooded team of grays and in a hand
some new two seated surrey, pur chased
in New York for his livery business. The
party returned by way of Gilberton and
upon arrival here took seats in Mr..
Shields hotel at a table spread for ten
people and the proprietor won fame for
the lamb fries and other delicacies served,
together with several excellent brands of
wine. Farmer Moakler's appetite for
mutton was in alarming shape, but was
met with an ample supply and every body
was satisfied. The dinner was given in
honor of Mayor Collihsn.
