is turned by the mechanism of the
clockwork at the rate OF five times per
second around the dial, so that each
degree of the inner dial actually rep
resents one-thousandth part of
second. A special arrangement makes
it possible to have the hand turn only
once or three times around the dial
within a second, the values Of the de-
grees being then correspondingly
changed.
The sudden stopping Of the hand,
which turns at an enormous rate of
speed, its point travelling at the rate
of $50 feet second, or 100 miles an
hour, would absolutely destroy the
works. On the other hand, the hui
man eye cannot follow the turning of
the hand, and in order to establish the
exact measurement photography had
to be resorted to. An auxiliary APP
paratus consisting of IL Photographic
cameras has been arranged in front Of
the big dial. These cameras are open
opposite the dial and before them a

A third habit is of brown covert
cloth, and is made with cutaway coat
and Tapped seams. The coat collar and
lapels are OF brown silk; pocket flaps

The carriage procession is not as
strictly sportsmanlike in its apparel;
but here, too. there is keen eye to
the exact requirements of the occa-
sion. Long driving coats are in ma

gowns. Biscuit-colored. tan and cas-
tor Melton cloths are the favorite coat
materials; rows of stitching and big
pearl buttons their recognized trim

Occasionally the tailor gown differs
from that worn in the city by being
short-sllirted. A few women have es-
tablished the precedent of wearing,
while in the country, short skirts, al
most to the exclusion of others. Rid
ing habits also have their moments of
relaxation. For the country lanes on
days when the foxhounds are not in
cry, even white pique is not always
tabooed.

New York.-Although In every re-

social diversion from the 1st Of 0c-
tober until snow flies, there are, In the
neighborhood of New York, at any
rate, compar atively few women whose
share in the sport is not limited to APP
pearing at hunt breakfasts and at the
meets and to following in light traps
along the roadways.
Take an example:
The Meadowbrook Hunt, whose ken
nels ere at Hampstead, L. l., is sup
ported by some of the wealthiest of
New York's society people, whose mag
nifcent estates have turned the roll
ing hills, wide meadows and heavy
reaches of woods into park-like coun-
try, with much of the trim stateliness
of English scenery. When Newport
and Bar Harbor are deserted, when
the leaves are reddening and falling,
then the Hampstead season culmi-
mates in great house parties with their
succe ssion OF cross-country runs, hunt
breakfasts, dinners and balls.
1t is the hunt that has built the
great country houses and that rules
the life in them.
The Hampstead plains present I'M

fact that the part of Reynard is played

THE FUEL PROBLEM.
A Call for Suitable Feeding APP
paratus to Use Powdered
Corn with a Furnace.

There have been times in recent years
when corn was so abundant and its
market value was SO low that the
farmers used it as fuel rather than
cart it to the nearest railroad sta
ton. 1t is to be hoped that circum-
stances will not make necessary such
a course in the future often. But if
a way were found for using corn on
large scale as fuel, perhaps it would
pay the farmer to raise it just for that
purpose. At any rate, a new mode of
using the grain extensively would be
sure 20 stiffen prices instead of lower
ing them.
A writer in the American Machinist
suggests that corn be employed in
place of coal. He says: while there

And to particularize:

Tips for WOODEN Manufacturers.

A correspondent, in discussing the
keen competition and prospects of the
wool trade, says that the manufac-
turer who wishes to stay in the race
in these times must equip his mill with
the best machinery that money can
buy, and the best overseers and help
he can hire. If he should try to COM
pete in the markets while using old
WORKOUT machinery and inferior help,
his time in the wooden business will be
short unless he is possessed of great
wealth, and wishes to manufacture for
pleasure only. This is simply a con.
firmation of the experience of mill
owners in other branches of trade.

machinery that pays the best.--St.

HEADACHE POWDERS.
Most of Them Have a Depressing and
Dangerous Effect Upon the
Action of the Heart.

A medical journal expresses deep
concern at the alarming spread of
weakening Of the heart, caused by the
use of headache powders" The pub
lie have little idea of the dangerous
character of the drugs composing
these medicines, and many who have
sought relief from headache by their
use are left with a weakened action
of the heart, which is often of the ut
most gravity. In England this ques-
tion has been taken up officially, and
it is proposed to promote legislation
to check the outrage, DR.. j. A. Har-
ris, the medical officer for Lancashire,
states that under his direction the
county police obtained six or seven
samples of the so-called headache pow
ders from different stores and had
them submitted to analysis. In every
case the quantity of the active ingredi-
ent was found to be in excess of the
maximum dose of the drug allowed in
the British pharmacopoeia. These
remedies belong to the class of the
analgesicy, the members of the group
for this purpose being acetanalide or
phenylacetamide, phenazone, and
phenacetin or para-acet-phenetidia.
At meeting in Edinburgh OF
pharmacists and therapeutics there
was general expression of opin-
ion that these drugs required

error of judgment with regard to
dosage might be followed by disas-
trous results. All these substances
depress the hearts action, and in toxic
doses diminish the force of the res
piratory act. A common formula for
headache powders is acetanalide GO to
