Measuring the Heat of the Hand.

An illustration of the marvellous accu-
racy characteriZing tools or instruments
of measurement now employed as com
pared with those of former times is
given-namely, that whereas formerly
.001 inch marked on drawing would
have been objected to on the ground
that it was difficult or impossible to
work so closely to measures as that, at
the present time .0005 inch is measured
in every fine workshop, and dimensions
given in hundredths or even thou
sandths of an inch frequently appear ON
drawings without objection on the part
of the workmen. The instruments of
measurement are now made with such
a degree of refined accuracy that even
the warmth of the hand may expand a
rod IL inches long so that the amount
of expansion can be measured. 1t has
become important in fine measurement
to be careful that the piece to be mea-
sured should have the same tenn
perature as that of the instrument by
which the size is determined By first
handling a rod of the length named and
measuring it, particularly if the rod be
of brass or copper, and then, after al
lowing the rod to cool, handling the
gauge until the latter expands, it is
found that a discrepancy of from .0O7
inch to OF inch may be sometimes made
apparent, due entirely to differences of
temperature. American Machinist.

Coal Vessel Loading Machines.

Machines for transferring coal from
cars to vessels more rapidly than can be
done by any of the old processes are
now receiving great deal of attention
at Lake Erie ports, and three new ma
chimes are soon to be put in operation at
Cleveland One of these is for the Erie
Coal Transfer company and Is on the
New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio
dock. This will probably be completed
within week or two The loaded car
is run into a large cylinder, Where it is
securely fastened, and the cylinder is
then rolled up an inclined plane, stop
ping in the right position to let the coal
fall out of the car by gravity. The ma
chine that is being built on the Cleve-
land and Pittsbu1g dock consists of a
cradle, in which the loaded car is placed
and then swung on trunnlon, tipping
the car sufficiently to pour out its con-
tents. The coal falls through six hop
pers into six buckets, which are then
conveyed to the bold of the vessel.
A third machine, differing from the
other two, is to be built on the Cuddy-
Mullen dock. The machine emptying
into six hoppers is made by the Brown
Hosting and Conveying Machine COM
pany, and it is said that the company
have orders to build similar machines at
Toledo, Huron and Ashtabula. At the
latter place there is one of the McMyler
machines, which was built last year.
All of these machines are for unloading
cars which have no hoppers in their bot
toms. Iron Age.

Yankee Made Alaskan Curios.

Ex-State Senator E. c. VOORHEES, of
Suffer Creek returned, with his family,
from a visit to Alaska yesterday ON the
City of Pueblo.
"There is one thing from which the
ordinary tourist cannot be weaned, ="
said he. HE will buy curios wherever
he goes. That is the way in Alaska. We
hear a good deal about the fine carving
done by the native Alaskan. Now, the
fact is, the Alaskan knows mighty little
about carving. The crack carver of Sit
ka came down to San Francisco, l was
told, to learn the art of carving, and
now he turns ont barrels of ingenious
contrivances supposed by his customers
to be indigenous to the soil of Alaska
only. On a boat which went to juneau
q short time before we arrived, there
were actually 5000 pounds Of Alaskan
curios, manufactured by Americans at

MOUND BUILDERS IN MINNESOTA.
Recent Discoveries In the Basin OF tho
Upper Mississippi.


An exceedingly valuable article bear
ing upon the prehistoric inhabitants of
Minnesota has been prepared by the
Hon. ]. V. Brewer, embodying the re-
suits of Investigations made. by himself
and Professor T. Fl. Lewis about the
head waters of the Mississippi Mr..
Brewer is an adept in exploration and
the best authority on the basin OF tn
upper Mississippi. He has found traces
and relics of the mound builders through
the entire basin of the upper Mississippi,
from Lake Itasca to the falls OF Po-
kegama. Through this district the
mounds are discovered everywhere.
They are composed Of various materials
and were probably erected for different
purposes, but all bear witness to the ex-
istence here in prehistoric times OF
people who have now utterly vanished
from the face of the earth.
This mound building people lived
probably, in Mr.. Brewers opinions,
where our people now have their homes
at least 1900 years ago. They discov-
cred and opened the various portages
between the great lakes in the Missls-
sippi basin, They were Of a race su-
perior to any of the savage tribes that
succeeded them. The host OF relics
picked up here and there through the
region, together with the contents OF
mounds that have been explored, gives
us what knowledge we have OF them.
They resided mostly upon lake shores,
in villages and lived upon game and
fish They used vessels of pottery, stone
implements, the bow and arrow and
implements Of copper. They were OF
full stature, and the formation of the
Rkn1S that Mr.. Brewers party exhumed
and examined indicates a high degree
of intelligence.
The existence of mounds of smaller
construction-effigy mounds and sites
for worship or for burial-over wide
portion Of the Mississippi valley sug-
gests the general distribution at some
prehistoric day of this race of people, OF
whose other work we know so little,
and whose origin and fate are wrapped
in common mystery. st. Paul Globe.

A Latter Day Phi1anthropist.

Loans without security are a bait
which usurers often hold out to the un-
wary, bun certain Lacour thought 1t
might be made still more tempting by
advertising that people could pledge
their honor for substantial monetary
advance. Honor is inexhaustible, espe-
cially when it can be turned into hard
cash, SO the scheme babe fair to succeed.
But on the face of it as a commercial
speculation it was poor investment
Its philanthropy was its chief recon-
mendation, and therefore its author, a
chemists assistant formerly, with two
companions, felt emboldened to initiate
Nine. Eugene Buffet and sing IN the
streets to invite the charitable public to
contribute to the New Students Friend
ly society, as they called their philan-
thropic loan Office.
The trio selected the Normandy coast
resorts for their tour and duly adver-
tised their philanthropic motives in the
local press. But unfortunately M. La
cour preached without practicing. He
had himself contracted number of lit
tie debts on the strength of his honor,
and his creditors were not quite satisfied
with the value of that security, and
when recently he borrowed from a
friend a bicycle, which he at once
handed over to cafe keeper who was
dunning him for money, the bicyclist
took an unkind view of the transaction
and lodged complaint with the police,
with the result that the latter day phi
lanthopist is now in safe custody, medi-
tating upon the worthlessness Of honor

Changing Diseases.

In that delightful book, "Rider
Grange" the husband of Pomona
gives as his reasons for not remov-
ing from a malarial neighborhood,
that it don't do for a man at his
time of life to 90 about changing
his diseases and adding, that there
are diseases incident to almost
every locality, and he likes a dis
ease he is used to.
Now, in case Of malarial dis
eases, aside from the unwilling
ness of patients to "change dis
cases." it is generally not conven-
lent to change their residence. If
this were done in every case, some
of our most thriving communities
would be depopulated.
Nothing is left to do therefore
but to fortify oneself against mala-
rial influences. For this purpose
Drs, Starkey 6 Palen's Compound
Oxygen has proved itself in the
past 20 years the most efficient
thing in the world.
Any person desiring to change
diseases for health should write us
a plain statement of the case, when
if possible, the way will be point
ed out. The consultation is with
out charge. Address Drs. Stark
