InSen10os Contrivance 1ave0ted BY ~ Eng.
lloh Monhaale.
The tintometer, rs its name implies,
Is q tint or color measure. It is the in
vention Of L. w. Lovitond. who has
devoted some twenty years of work
and thought to the perfection of the
contrivance. which. having been in
use more or less privately for seven or
eight years past in many technical in
dustries, and for various special pur-
poses, has now been taken over by .
company and placed ON tho market
10 the man in the street probably the
uses of . contrivance Of this nature
seem scarcely very obvious 1t first
sight This only shows how little the
man in the street knows about the
matter. For the uses Of the tinto-
meter are believed to be nearly end
less This will tc realized when it il
borne in mind that in the case Of
practically every substance, natural or
manufactured. known to man color II
an absolute index to its quality. Con-
sequently you have only TO ascertain
its color exactly in order to know At
once the quality Of the substance you
are dealing with. Aud this is what
the tintometer enables you to do Take
-four. The quality Of -four can be told
to, nicely by its color. Hence, you
have only To ascertain the position Of
any given specimen of flour in the
color scale to know its value. ''But
how about adulteration?' some one
will ask 1T once; cannot IN inferior
flour be colored BY the addition Of
some foreign substance to match the
shade desired?" Certainly il can be.
But the tintometer would detect the
fraud at once.
What, then, il the tintometer? Brief.
ly it consists Of . carefully graded
series Of colored glasses-about the
size and shape Of small microscope
slides-by means Of which, used singly
or superimposed one ON top Of the
other, any desired shade Of color can
be matched with absolute exactitude.
And when il is realized that there are
just 90. .000, 600 shades which can be OBJ
tanned in this fashion, it will b under.
stood that the color which cannot be
matched by the tintometer must be
very hard to find, indeed. In point Of
fact, there IL NO color or tint percepti-
bic TO the ordinary human eye which
cannot be obtained. These slips Of
glass are placed on . slide at the end
Of . double parallel-sided wooden tube,
something like an elongated stereo-
scope to look at, with two small sper.
lures 1t the lower end and eye pieces
to look through st the upper. The
substance TO b matched il placed nm
der the one aperture. and then, BY
changing the slips Of glass to the re-
quired extent beneath tho other, the
desired tint II readily obtained.-Wash-

BIG FINDS IN FLORIDA.

Frank Hamilton Cushing. who. some
years ago, distinguished himself by
his explorations and discoveries among
the Zuni Indians in New Mexico. will
soon start on m expedition in fresh
fields to explore the remarkable abo-
riginal remains Of western Florida for
the University of Pennsylvania- Some
months since Col c. d. Durnford, Of
the British army, while tarpon fishing
In Florida, discovered some entirely
new remains Of the ancient Floridian
people. He communicated the result
Of his finds to the university museum.
and presented TO that institution fraz.
meats Of ancient fish-nets and objects
Of carved wood, which he discovered
in the muck in IN ancient lagoon In
which tho prehistoric people moored
their canoeA
Mr.. Cushing undertook to complete
the observations made by Col. Durn.
ford. and at once proceeded to Florida
in the interest Of the museum. A few
days excavations yielded yalua-
BILE treasures of crania, shell and
wood, and resulted in discoveries
that are likely TO prove Of enormous
value to ethnological science. After
the opening Of the Hazard CliA
collection 1T the university museum on
Friday Mr.. Cushing will 1t once 60 to
Florida for the university to prosecute
to the end the observations made by
himself and Col Durnford. He has
found great artificial canals. lagoons
and structures regularly faced and
built Of she'll The possibility Of their
being of Carib origin offers IN i'm
portant and interesting problem
When Mr.. Cushing was pushing his
discoveries among the Zuni people he
secured his adoption into the tribe, in
order the better TO observe their sav-
age life. His designation of lieutenant
was obtained through his having once
commanled troop Of soldiers In m
expedition in the southwest, and III
though he never held actual rank in
the government service, his bearing
would seem to confirm tho tradition
that gives him . military title. For
several years his health has prevented
his giving to the world the treasures
Of aboriginal knowledge which arc bis
peculiar possession- Recently. how
ever, he has been enabled TO complete
his long promised work ON ''Zuni

ON Chairman Marion Butler Of the Pop.

cant in view Of the rumors abroad that
Mr.. Watson may retire from the ticket.
The editorial Is as follows;
Attempts have been made to show
that Watson favored fusion In the state
Of Indiana, This Is not correct. Wat.
son took the position at the beginning
Of the campaign that no Populist could
consistently vote for sewall's election
any more than no could vote for Ho.
barts election.
"He filed with Chairman Butler a
written protest against Buffers fusion
policy. Butler has ignored Watson e
protest and has gone steadily forward
ON his own line. wAtson's position is
now what 1t was when the Georgia state
convention met He is for the straight
middle-of.the.road ticket In no other
way can the Democratic managers be
forced to abide by the st. Louis contract
