American Machinery in Europe
New York Mail and Express.)

NANS" AoiN Nuoii dAN a Ooo.D
An official of one of the largest ma
chinery making companies in this country
who has just returned from a business
trip abroad, brought back some very
cheerful news for manufacturers on this
side of the Atlantic.
For years I nave regularly made a
tour of Europe. seeking orders for vari-
Gus kinds of machinery. The market has
been comparatively limited, our best sales
being Of very high grade tools and some
large labor-saving machines. This year I
was surprised to note the state Of affairs
in England particularly. A regular craze
for A~merican-made machinery was in pro-
call. All the representatives of different
American concerns 1 met told the same
story. They had no trouble in booking
orders to fill all demands. 1t was merely
a question of the American Who first got
the ear of the buyer. Vexatious English
delay and slowness seemed to have dis
appeared in this line.
The idea held.over there is that manu-
facturers in the states have passed all
others in cleverness and the making of
labor saving machinery. Take, for in
stance, printing presses and bookmaking
machines. There are hundreds of kinds
of the former made there, but ours are
planting hand work all through England.
DO you know that we are. fguratively
speaking, carrying Goals to Newcastle

Good One on the NayOr.

Mayor Nelson is fond OF hunting.
When on such trips he wears an old
suit of clothes, old hat, etc.
One morning some time ago he got
up rather early, prepared to go to the
country. Breakfast was not ready and
he sauntered down towards his stable.
AS he came along back he met a big
burly tramp who asked if there was
any chance of getting something to
eat.

A Wnter-Tight Dnor.

The invention is just announced by
the San Francisco Chronicle of door
that is never closed and never open.
1t is the only door on earth that a
person is forced to shut behind him
under any and all circumstances. Water
cannot pass through it or around the
casing. 1t is the invention of Alex
ander Kircaldy of Glasgow, Scotland,
and he has labored to bring it to its
present state of perfection for ten
years. Primarily, this door is intended
for vessels, for its chief claim to dis
tinction is that it is water-tight. To
the bulkhead, where the door is fitted,
is boted hollow, cylindrical casing.
In this casing are two doors, but they
are not opposite one another. Within
this hollow casing revolves O hollow
cylinder, and there is doorway to
this cylinder. When it is desired to
pass through this novel door the cylin.
der within this casing is turned so
that the door therein is opposite one
of the other doors in the casing.
When the ingress doorway is in line
with the bulkhead doorway the pas.
senger enters and stands on the bot
tom of the casing and revolves the
hollow cylinder by hand until he
brings the ingress doorway into line
with the second bulkhead doorway,
which permits Of egress from the cas-
ing
The remarkable feature of this double
door is that it is absolutely i'm
possible to leave it open, as one
door must of necessity be effectually
closed before the other opens. The
revolving cylinder is hung on ball
bearings, and is easily brought into the
position desired for ingress or egress.
AT the same time no gear, which is so
familiar to other types Of water-tight
doors, is required.

What 1t Costs to Run the United States
Treasury.

| Treasury.
1t costs annually about $3.50, 600 600
to maintain the United States govern
ment exclusive of over 800, 000, 900 for
the postal service, much of which ia
paid back from postal receipts. We
expend annually for the civil estab-
lishment THAT is the salaries of public
officials and employees OF the executive
departments, care of pubic buildings,
etc. about SSS, 900, 600; for military
establishment, $50, 900, 900; for the
naval establishment, $27, 200, 900; for
the Indian service, So, 900, 600; for
pensions, $40, 900, 900, and for inter
est on the public debt, S3E, 900, 600
making total of $3.50, 600, 600.
To meet these expenditures, saws
Harper's Round Table, the United
States government has to raise the
necessary funds by taxation. The
greater amount is raised by customs
duties aud by the internal revenue tax
upon whiskey, tobacco, beer, playing
cards, oleomargarine, etc. For the
year ending June 80, 1896, there was
collected $3.50, 900, 900 from customs
taxes and $147, 900, 900 from internal
revenue taxes, the balance consisting
of miscellaneous receipts from sales of
public lands, revenues of the District
of Columbia, consular fees, fees on
letters patent, national bank circula-
ton, profits on coinage, etc.
One can easily realize the immense
work of collecting this vast sum of
money. In addition, however, the
treasury through its accounting Off
GERS, has to supervise the expenditure
of every dollar paid out for the sup
port of the government, and to adjust
the accounts of every officer spending
the public money. Not dollar can
be paid into the treasury of the United
States nor paid out without an order
from the secretary addressed to the
officer known as the treasurer of the
United States, directing him to receive
the money, which is technically termed
covering it into the treasury" or to
pay out money to the person entitled,
as the case may be. This order of the
secretary is called warrant" if it
orders the treasurer to receive money
into the treasury it is called "cov-
ering' warrant; if to pay out money,
it is called either settlement" war
rant when the money is paid to some
person entitled to it of his own right,
or an accountable" warrant (if the
money is paid to some officer of the
government whose duty it is to ex-
pend it for the purpose of the govern
ment). This latter officer has to give
bond to properly apply said money.

Walking Four Miles an Hour.

"Theres no end of people," said a
man who walks great deal himself
to Boston Joureal reporter, "who
think they can walk four miles an
hour; and very likely they could, but
they would have to move along very
briskly to do it. AS matter of fact,
very few people indeed do walk four
miles an hour; three miles is very
fair gait, and when one exceeds that
he is beginning to walk fast. If my
recollection serves, the old common
time in the army carried a man tive
aud -eighths miles an hour. The
distances which the soldier covers in
an hour have now been increased
somewhat by slightly increasing the
length of his steps, but my impression
is that the common time remains I'M
der three miles an hour. Certainly
three miles would be good, fair walk
ing, and fully up to mems average
speed"

The Earth Mt the Poles.

A French scientist, M. de rApparent,
finds in Nansen's discovery of the nm.
expectedly great depth of the Arctic
ocean an argument tending to show
that the earth is slightly top shaped,
the protuberancs corresponding to the
point OF the top being at the South
Pole. This, he thinks, would explain
the different results arrived at by the
various measurements of astronomers
and geodesists. These differences are
very small in comparison with the en-
tire bulk of the globe, yet they ae
readily appreciable, and one of the
explanations that has been suggested
for them is that the earth is tetrahedral
IN form. But NJ. de rApparent thinks
the top-shape theory is preferable.
The fact that to an eye looking at the
eartE from point in space it would
not sensibly differ in appearance from
true sphere shows how refined are
the methods of science which enable
men living on the surface of the globe
to detect variations in its general con-
tour.
