What Is the Right
Price of a Piano ?

A fair profit over and above the
cost of the Piano and the slight
expense of doing an economically
conducted business. Can any
Richmond firm pay dividend on
a 100000 capital? No, not I'M
less they charge $500 for 5000
piano. Won't the people find
out this double pressure way Of
doing business? Many of the
customers that read the papers
are acting upon our advice and
avoiding the five-dollar-a-month
two-million-dollar stores. See
Manly b. Ramos about the Piano
before you buy. Don't sign a
paper for one thing and let slick
salesman tell you that you can do
another-that you can pay So
monthly when you choose, al
though the contract calls for SO.
In the end you may lose the
Piano and possibly your religion,
too. Facts-better Pianos, lower

The immense force exerted by gelatine
in fits contraction is remarked upon by
the British Journal of Photography, this
fact being specially notable in the colo
typists art Thus. if a collotype plate
be overdried, the power of the gellatine,
in its contraction, is so great that it tears
away the surface of the glass Itself,
breaking it up in peculiar fern-like fash
ion, or pattern-in a word, the surface
of the collotype plate being always
ground, it is this which gives so firm a
hold 10 the gelatine that the glass Is
torn away. A curious fact appears In
this onnecton-namely that different
characters of gelatine produce differ
en-. pattern fracture, brittle kind of the
material exhibiting a different one. from
that yielded by the tough and horny
variety. This property has been taken
advantage of commercially, and on a con-
siderable scale, in the manufacture of
what is commonly known as crystalline"
glass.

The announcement IS made Of the In
PRODUCTION I'm France-names and locality
not mentioned-of the use Of ether i'm the
operation Of mercerizing, the claim being
that by this means contraction Is pre-
vented, thus rendering mechanical stretch-
ing unnecessary. Successful results are
attained by treating the fabric with a
mixture of twenty parts OF solution OF
caustic soda and fifty parts Of ether;
with this mixture the stuff is found to
contain only per cent, instead of % per
cent. otherwise, the process being also
facilitated by steaming. An additional
feature of the operation consists in steep
ing the cotton in a mixture Of ninety-ffve
10 ninety-nine litres of soda lye-twenty
to forty Baume-one to one and a half
litres of sulphuric ether. and the same Of
melted ammonium sulphOcyanide. This
sleeping is followed by a steaming Of
such pressure as is required by the nature
Of the stuff.

A new carbon dioxide engine, recently
brought to notice by William II. Roberts,
OF Philadelphia. is based on the principle
sand it's application of making the gas
simply a vehicle for carrying heat energy
TO the engine, by means of which IL is
transformed into energy in such form that
it can readily be utilized as power. That
is, the engine is actuated by the carbon
dioxides used expansively upon the pts.
ton in a manner similar to that employed
In steam-engines. but with the piston area
reduced propOrtiOnately to the amount of
power as compared with steam. For use
in the engine, the carbon dioXide gas Is
stored in a liquid form in a cylinder pre-
pared for the purpose. it being led from
this in small tubes through a heating ap-
paratus, where il Is brought to tempera-
ture Of about $50 TO 200 degrees Fahren-
heit, at which temperature it is introduced
into the engine. BY means of specially
adapted system of valves the gas at this
high temperature and pressure Is passed
into the cylinders of the engine and then
withdrawn from the latter at a tempera-
ture below 81 degrees Fahrenheit. The
gas-a waste product in many lines of
manufacturing-is relatively cheap in it's
liquid form, and for such an engine II IS
claimed that, being compact, powerful,
and economical Of operation, 1t can be
adopted with success I'm many places
where steam and electricity are now en-
ployed.

In meeting the necessities created by
the dense and continuous fOgs of London,
the various companies engaged in furnish
ing the small but important fog signals
are an active feature. In exigent weather
conditions, even the smaller of the Vari-
Gus companies running through the great
city's suburbs have sometimes to issue
a hundred gross a day Of these signals,
while larger ones will use double that
number This device is extremely sim
pie, consisting of a pinch of gunpowder
and three percussion caps inclosed In
three small metal cases. one within the
other, and each closed up with white
lead, while in the innermost case are three
nipples, on which the percussion caps are
fitted, the powder being placed around
them. The complete thing is about the
size OF large watch and has appended
TO it two strips OF lead, which are Sim
ply bent around the iange of the rail,
thus holding the fog signal in position on
the top. AS these little machines are
substitutes for semaphOres and lamps,
il is, of course matter of utmost i'm
portance that they shall not fail. 1t is
for this reason that there are three per-
cusson caps and three cases, one inside
the other, so as TO exclude wet.

1t is we'll known that the pressure OF
the atmosphere on the surface Of the
earth is about Is pounds TO the square
inch, equivalent, that is, to pressure
at the lower end OF a column OF mer-
curry about 80 inches high, or to the pres
sure of a column OF water 81 feet high.
DR.. Woodward, Of Columbia University,
in some interesting researches on this
line. concludes that such an equivalence
OF pressure gives at once lower limit to
the mass of the atmosphere, for this mass
must be greater than that Of layer OF
mercury covering the entire earth to
depth of 90 inches, or OF a layer OF water
"a feet in depth. But the attainment OF
an upper limit TO the mass of the atmos-
phere Dr. Woodward declares to be less
easy, since it is believed 10 extend TO
height of about 100 miles and may exist,
in an attenuated form, even to several
thousands of miles-the problem being
further complicated by the fact that the
atmosphere rotates with the earth. An
outcome of the Investigations made by
this learned scientist is, briefly, that the
mass Of the atmosphere must be greater
than one millionth and less than one
twelve hundredth Of the entire mass or
the earth.
