RECENT INVENTIONS.
PHILADELPHIA Record.

new tool case for cyclers consists of a
rectangular box to be strapped on to the
frame of the bicycle, with both sides hinged
at the bottom to drop down and bring the
tools in view, each of which slides into a
rubber sheath to prevent it from rafting.
hand hose holder for sprinkling lawns
has pointed rod to be pushed into the
ground and support a revolving metal disk
which has loops through which the hose
nozzle is passed and held by means of
thumb screws which tighten the loops.
A Massachusetts man has invented a
brush tumbler and chimney washer which
will fit any size glass, the bristles being
set in opposite sides of a double pivoted
stem which has handles to open the brush
es outward until they strike the glass.
TO give an alarm in case or ire two
convex corrugated metal plates are set in
sockets with their edges together and car
rying contact points which are brought to-
gether by the expansion of the plates by
the heat of a fire to complete an electric
circuit
Fogs on the ocean or navigable streams
may be dispersed for some distance ahead
of a vessel by means of a new invention
consisting of arched distributing pipe
with jet tubes set in one side to discharge
water or other liquid in spray against the
TO draw a measured quantity of liquid
from a receptacle a new faucet has a
double-acting valve which closes one out
let as soon as the other is open, thus pre-
venting the pouring of the liquid into the
measuring glass while the discharge pipe Is
open.
A California woman has patented a cover
for milk cans which is perforated around
it's sides near the bottom so it can be
closed tight to prevent spilling of the milk,
and can be pulled up short distance in the
can to allow ventilation, without insects
getting inside
To prevent the slipping of ladder climb
erS or those whose work compels them to
stand long on ladder, rubber device is
made with a semi-circular cleat across the
bottom to be strapped on the sole of the
shoe, the cleat resting on the rung of the
n foot steady.
An improved piano stool has a double
socket attached to the seat base to support
the revolving post which holds the seat, a
pin sliding in the upper socket to enter holes
on the post and lock it at any desired
height and the sockets turning on each
other to allow the seat to revolve.
Candles for lighting purposes are being
made without wicks central hole being
left in the cradle, in which rests a metal
wick carrier, the heat of the flame melting
the sides of the candle and causing the
wax to flow into the carrier, to be drawn
up through the asbestos wick and feed the
flame.
The Cuban revolution has taught Florida
farmers that they can raise the finest Hav-
ana tobacco, and they are making large
crops, which bring very high prices. AS
much as $50 coo pounds has been raised
in small neigborhoods, and sold at 40 to AZ
cents per pound.
A New Jersey man has been making ex-
periments for some months on a device for
running machinery with condensed car
bonic acid gas, particularly motors for road
wagons and boats.

mere pay we are to receive, then our work
will be valueless and unworthy of us. If
we build bridges and pass laws and lay
roads and write books for the financial re-
turn. and not with the ideal of service to
our fellow-men, then have we surely missed
the great aim of our lives. and converted
ourselves from ministrants into slaves!
The labor problem, we are told. is the
most difficult to solve. And yet the way is
clear, had we but sufficient faith and cour-
age to take it. 1t is summed UP in two say
ings of the Master The first is. Eye are
all brethren and our work is to subdue
the earth. wolves have never subdued
ard never WILL because they are wolves
and devour each other. Men have subdued
and will subdue because they are brethren
and help each other" The second is,
''He that is greatest among you let him be
your servant" Does not our conscience,
together with our common sense. declare
that if these two rules were adopted in So
ciety as governing principles land they
were given to that end, the labor question
would disappear like Inists before the ris-
ing sun?
The recognition Of the real brother
hood of man will lead to the adoption of
some system of profit-sharing which is
after all, but the application of the golden
rule to the labor question, the modern
equivalent of the parable Of the good Sa-
marian. And with it will come it's cor
relative. Understanding, the voluntary
adoption by the employees of the risks now
wholly shouldered by the employer. In this
or some similar way will social troubles be
settled and harmony restored.
Class distinctions are now rapidly losing
ground in the church-where they ought
never to have obtained a footing; this will
be followed by their gradual extinction at
the factory or mill; and then the principles
Of Christ will no longer be regarded as fic-
ton in the commercial world. He will, at
least, be taken at His word, and His say
ings will take their rightful place as the all
moving factors in the redemption of the
world and the ushering in Of the kingdom
of righteousness and peace.
May He, its Prince, right the wrongs,
heal the wounds, tighten our darkness and
speed the day

Please give me the rules of the road at
sea--B. G.. II.
The rules of the road at sea were laid
down in the final act of the international
marine conference at Washington, October
to December, 1889; they are as follows:
Act. II. When two sailing vessels are APP
preaching one another, so 10 involve
risk of collision, one of them shall keep
out of the way of the other, as follows:
(a) a vessel which is running free shall
keep out of the way of a vessel which Is
close hauled; OBJ a vessel which is close
hauled on the port tack shall keep out of
the way Of a vessel which is close hauled
on the starboard tack (c) when both are
running free with the wind on different
sides, the vessel which has the wind on the
port side shall keep out of the way of the
other; I'D when both are running free, with
the wind on the same side, the vessel which
is to windward shall keep out of the way
of the vessel which is to leeward (e)
vessel which has the wind aft shall keep
out Of the way OF the other vessel.
Act. is. When two steam vessels are
meeting end on, or nearly end on, so as to
involve risk cf collision, each shall alter
her course to starboard, SO that each may
pass on the port side of the other.
Act. 10. When two steam vessels are
crossing so as to involve risk of collision,
the vessel which has the other on her own
starboard side shall keep out of tbs way
of the other.

EYES IN HIS NOSE.
Extraordinary Case of Sightless
Frenchman Who Can See.


Frenchman Who Can See.
New York Herald.
A Paris paper published few days ago
an account of a man who can see through
his nose This extraordinary person, II
seems. was born blind and by systematic
training has been enabled TO make his nasal
organ take in some measure the place or
his eyes. The story was read far and wide
and it is safe to say that the majority or
readers gave little credence TO It, EXtraor-
binary things are daily happening, but
most of them are conceivable and hence
credible. But how is 1t possible for a man
to see through his nose! Many asked TINS
question and waited in vain for satisfac-
tory answer. If such persons however,
will look into an old book which was print
ed at Nuremberg in 1902, they VIII and
record of a case very similar to that re-
corded in the Paris journal The book Is
entitled "OcuIus Artticialis Teledioptricus
Sine Telescopium Est, and 1t is the work
Of The distinguished German scholar Jo-
ham Zahn. Copies of II are very rare. and
the one which was consulted in the present
instance was found in the University of
The man who. according to zahn. could
see through his nose was a farmer. While
ne was still an infant he met with serious
accident, which resulted in the loss of his
right eye. A few years later he fell from
cherry tree and lost his left eye His nose
and left cheek were terribly mangled at the
same time, and ii was a year before tne

through his nose dim ray of light. He was
naturally puzzled. but next day he noticed
the same unaccountable phenomenon Week
after week and month after month he
looked for this ray Of light, and, strange
to say ii not only never failed MIN, put
as time passed. It grew more constant ana
more potent, until. at the end OF I'VE years,
he was able to see all objects within
reasonable distance. Here, however, is
curious fact. lie was able to see all 90,
jects on the ground or in front OF him. put
he could not see any objects above him
Zahn vouched for the truth of these state
ments and said that the distinguished pny-
sIcian Heinrich Spezius, was also ready 10
make an affidavit as TO their truth.
Skeptics may say that the man was snam-
ming but as both eyeballs were lost II Is
difffcult to see how shamming was possiple.
OF course the man may have imagined thar
he saw objects on the ground or in front OF
him. but according 10 Zahn, he was SUBJ
iected 10 tests which proved to the sausfac-
ton OF all eye witnesses that he was NOT
imposing on them.
There must be some explanation. OF this
amazing phenomenon, and IL there Is really
in France now a person who can see
through his nose he certainly deserves 70
be made the subject OF serious study.

Preserving PIums.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
Preserving time for the late summer
fruits IS at hand. Plums are one Of the
sort of fruits that do not lose their flavor
by the preserving process. To preserve
greengage or the purple red plum, now so
plentiful in market. weigh pound of sugar
to a pound of plums; put enough water in
the bottom Of a preserving kettle to cover
the bottom to the depth of an inch; then
put in the sugar; let the sugar, after 1T is
melted. boil very slowly Swimming 1T con-
stantly till as clear as water when the
syrup is perfectly clear, pierce the skins of
the plums with sharp tined fork and drop
enough of them into the syrup to fill a
quart or pint jar, whichever you are 60
ing to put them in; let them boil in the
syrup till quite tender, then skim them
out and put them in a jar. repeat this pro
cess till the plums are all in the jars, then
let the syrup boil till il is as thick as break
fast syrup; while it is very hot pour It
over the plums till each jar Is full, then
screw on the top tightly Plums preserved
like this will keep any length of time
They are delicious a sweetmeat or eaten
as a sauce with meats.

miles and miles of country. There is a
theory that change of employment is rest
and this generation is evidently bound TO
prove the truth of that theory or die of
fatigue in the attempt. Just a few people,
however, believe that good way to rest is
to rest but il must be mistake. for they
are either hated or scorned by all their ac-
quaintances.
