While many public questions
deserve the attention of congress
at an early date, and there is con-
siderable protest over the idleness
of the house Of representatives,
there would be much greater dis.
satisfaction if other matters were
considered at the expense of the
early passage Of the tariff bill.
Public demand. does have some IN.
fluence on the senate, and as long
as the tariff bill is the only legisla-
ton before congress, there is less
danger of delay than as though
other matters were up. The
bankruptcy bill and the Cuban
resolution should be passed BY the
house, but the greatest need of
the United States is the prompt
passage of a tariff law that will
provide greater revenue and pro-
tect American laborers, producers
and manufacturers. Importations
of goods upon which the tariff will
be increased are very great, and
every day Of delay brings more
goods from foreign countries upon
which low tariff is collected, and
which will take the place in the
markets of goods that should be
made by American workingmen.

a eurveyin9 Camera.

A surveying camera. styled the
Bridges-Lee instrument, 10 being intro
duced in England, It resembles an Or
binary camera, having a brass bound
box with rapid rectilinear lens and
double backs, and the usual ground
glass screen. The camera body turns on
q horizontal plate having graduated
rim, over which slides WERNER attach.
ed to the camera for reading horizontal
angles. A clampine screw fixes the
camera body to the bottom plate, which
plate is mounted on q tripod head pro.
vided with leveling screws. On top Of
the camera box IL fixed q rotating level
and telescope mounted on . horizontal
arm and fitted with rack adjustment
and scale, permi ting vertical angles to
be taken. This telescope has vertical
wire, which bisects the picture on the
ground glass screen, and is coplanary
with second vertical wire inside the
camera. This wire casts a shadow,
which is clearly discernible ON the sensi-
tive plate or film when developed, and
thus marks the center line Of the pic
ture. Behind this wire is q compass,
mounted ON rack inside the camera,
by means Of which, when photograph
is to be taken, it can be moved back
until 1t just fails to touch the plate.
The graduation Of the compass card 10
carried out on a vertical strip Of trans
lucent material, through which the
light passes to the plate, thus photo
graphing thereon the compass bearing.
A horizontal fiber is also placed inside
the body Of the camera, similar to the
vertical one, which, when the instru-
ment has been properly leveled, indi-
Gates the true horizon.
