invention which he calls the ball nozzle. The principal utility of this nozzle is ill the fact that it scatters tho stream of water in a spray. which is said to be remarkably effective in extinguishing fire and is also useful for lawn sprin- kling and irrigating purposes.
 Briefly, the nozzle Is almost exactly tho same in construction as the ordinary one now in use in most fro depart ments. The only difference is that tho end is shaped liko bell, and ill this bell is placed n ball of solid, polished rubber. Tho ball is loose and there is nothing to hold it ill position except a loop of brass over the front of the bell to prevent it from rolling out when tho hose is not ill use. When the stream is on full force, the guard is unnecessary. although one would imagine that the force of water would drive the ball out of the bell like shot from cannon. On the contrary, however. 1t holds 1t in, and tho more pressure turned on the more secure Is the ball in the bell. The ball does not stick tightly against the outlet, but is held at distance from it of about n quarter of an inch. The flow is not in any way retarded by the pres ence of tho ball. but the stream is spread to a remarkable eXtont, and therein lies tho efficacy of tho nozzle, says the inventor. A second nozzle for d solid stream is attached to the hose, so that the man who is manipulating il can have either sort of stream.
 An interesting discussion has arisen ill tho New York papers concerning tho seemingly paradoxiccl action of the ball in the nozzle. One writer says it is due to tho aSpiratinS aG ton of tho jet of water extracting tho air from between the surfaces of the ball and the bell shaped socket. Tho atmospheric pressure on the other side of the ball is then sufficient tc hold it in place. Other cx- plantations are advanced, and pending further experiments many scientists ac- knowledge themselves to bu puzzled by the problem.

He Was Doing We'll.

Jack Negly was one of the mountain eers of the Cumberland whom had known better perhaps than any of them, for Jack had borrowed q few dollars from mo to buy yoke of steers with, and the number of times he came to mo to get the debt renewed brought me in- to very close acquaintance with him. He was farmer in a small way, and he was never known to be out of debt. He was a renter, and at least every oth- CT season he was occupying n different farm. By my advice he had moved the year before into an entirely new field at least a dozen miles from his usual haunts. and had not seen him for sev eral months. When I did see him at last, it was by accident, as business called me into his neiShborhood. As rode past his place he hailed mo from tho cornfield and came out to the fence.

Nature frequently reveals her pro- foundest secrets by accident, and science is often aided as effectually by chance as by study.
