A systematic Inventor wanted.

Professor Thurston of Cornell uni
yersity, Ithaca, N. Y, has received an
application of an unusual kind, being
a request for an inventor, or as the
prospective employer puts it, grad
uate of the Sibley College of Me-
chanical Engineering who could be
easily developed into designer of
special machines" The applicant
s'would want nothing to do with .
young man who uses tobacco or drinks.
He must have good, strong eyes, and
be broad man in every respect; nat
urally inventive and standing high in
mathematics. In point of fact the
course of this college is especially
planned with reference to making its
graduates able to suggest and design
improvements in machinery which
may be put into their hands, or in
other words, to make them inventors.
DIR. Thurston says that it would be
only the truth if the sign we're put on
the doors of the college, systematic
invention taught here" A striking
example of the result occurred in the
thesis work of two seniors this year,
who designed and put into operation

Fascination Of Light.

Many theories have been suggested
as to why light attracts moths, but
perhaps the best explanation is. that it
fascinates them as a serpent does Q
bird. SO much is this the case that
traps have been devised for their de-
struction based on this fact. One Of
these inventions consists Of an electric
searchlight in connection with blow
ing fan. The insects, completely fas-
cinated, are attracted by the light and
fly close to the lantern; they are then
drawn into pipe by suction draught
and carried to sort of mill, which
mixes them up with little -four. The
resulting blend is then used for poul-
try food. When some warships were
using their powerful searchlights of
the coast of Egypt, at more than two
miles from the shore, millions of in
sects, fascinated by the light, travelled
along the beam Of light until they
struck the glass and fell, where they
accumulated into heap more than
two feet in height. Light equally fas-
cinates fishes, and they have been
lured to the nets by glowlight low

A Spanish Trick-15S5.

The relations between the two coun-
tries, which brakes raid into the
South sea had for time threatened
with open rupture, had greatly i'm
proved, at least in outward appearance,
and in 1885, under special promises of
immunity from molestation on reli-
gious or other grounds, Philip had in
vited to his ports a feet of English
corn ships. in order to supply the de-
ficiency of his own harvests. No
sooner, however, had the English
ships arrived than an embargo was
laid upon them, and their crews ar
rested.
One ship, the famous Primrose Of
London, managed to escape. While
lying off Bilbao quietly discharging
her cargo she had been visited by the
corregidor of Biscay and his guard
disguised as merchants. Suddenly
called upon to surrender, the crew
flung themselves upon the Spaniards,
drove them all overheard, and made
sail. Some of the discounted Span
iards, as the shore boats fed, were
seen clinging to the English vessel.
These were humanely rescued and
carried in triumph back to England,
and among them was the corregidor
himself. Upon him were found his
official instructions, setting forth ex-
pressly that the embargo was ordered
for the purposes of the expedition
which Philip was preparing against

WHEN A BIG GUN GOES OFF.

Scientific Men DO Not Know All That
Takes Place-Avoiding the Shock.
Not one man in ten thousand has
clear idea of just what happens when
a big cannon is fired. The physical
manifestations are numerous. Even
professors of chemistry and physics are
stumped when they want to differentl-
ate all the gases set loose and the pc
culiar effects they induce. The puff
of whitish smoke, the flash of fire, the
dim image of the flying projectile. the
roar and the recoil are all familiar, but
back of these is a complex mass OF
phenomena most bewildering to the
mind of any but an artillery expert.
First, the cubes, disks, hexagons or
irregular Jumps of powder are chemi-
cally transformed into powerful ex-
panding gas the instant firing takes
place. Then there are innumerable
by-products that even chemists do not
understand.
The explosion of gunpowder is
divided into three distinct stages,
called the ignition, Inflammation, and
combustion. The ignition is the set
ting on fire of the first grain, while
the Inflammation is the spreading of
the flame over the surface OF the pow
der from the point of ignition. Com
bustion is the burning up Of each
grain. The value of gunpowder is
due to the fact that when subjected to
sufficient heat it becomes a gas which
expands with frightful rapidity. The
so-called explosion that takes place
when a match is touched to gunpow-
der is merely chemical change, dur
ing which there is sudden evolution
of gases from the original solid.
1t has been calculated that ordinary
gunpowder on exploding expands
about&9OOO times or fills space this
much larger as a gas than when in q
solid form. When this chemical change
takes place in a closed vessel the ex-
pansion may be made to do a work
like that of forcing projectile along
the bore of the great gun or test tube
in the line of least resistance.
The hardest work a gunner is called
upon to do is to stand the tremendous
shock. The forces exerted by these
gases in expanding seem to radiate II
all directions from the cannon, as rip
pies are caused by dropping pebble
in pool of still water. As q matter
of fact, it has been discovered tina
these lines of forces are exceedingl,
complicated affairs, and play yer.
queer pranks about the cannon. AS
result few people know just which i
the safest or the most dangerous posi-
ton for gunner to take beside hi
gun. In the case of the great 13-incl
guns on our monitors, a position bacl
of the gun is much easier than on
nearer the muzzle.

The Adu,terations of Coffee.


A French chemist has analysed the
substance sold in Paris as coffee, and
has discovered that it is composed OF
adulterated chicory, beetroot, turnips,
parsnips, carrots, dandelion, acorns,
horse chestnuts, hazel nuts, figs,
prunes. couch grass, pistachios, al
monds, walnuts, peanuts, dates, apples
and pears. All of these articles,
usually in q damaged condition, are
mixed together, ground, roasted, and
added to a little real coffee. This mix
ture is what they drink in Paris and
imagine they are using coffee.
Theirs is no sure foundation on
which to base the assumption that the
Partisan coffee dealers know more
about the adulteration of coffee than
do our dealers in this country. Some
of the articles entering into the com
position of French coffee would ap-
pear to the American mind as un'
necessary, not to say extravagant,
such as walnuts, almonds, pistachiG
and hazel nuts. These things may bt
cheap over there, but in our country
beans and sweet potatoes would b.
found more economical. Adulterated
chicory is also something new to us
Chicory has been long used as al
adulterant to coffee, but adulterateo
chicory is an innovation.
It cannot be doubted that the coffee
furnished our army by contract bears
something of resemblance to the
French article. Our list of ingredi
ents may not be SO large and elabor
| ate as that of the French, but it II
more than likely that the proportion
of genuine coffee is just as small. =
