An ingenious form of speed-record-
ing apparatus has been recently de
vised for use in some German railway
experiments. While simple in design,
it proved exceedingly effective, and
showed, moreover, not only the speed
at any particular moment. but the
time in which stops were made, speed
round curves, up grades, etc.
Electrical connections were made
on the axle of the carriage in such a
manner that dash and space We're
marked off at each revolution on IL
paper strip moved by clockwork. BY
marking the length of ribbon corr es-
ponding to one minute of time and
counting the number of dashes con
tanned therein, the number of revoln-
,tions is given at.omce, and from the
diameter OF the wheels the speed can
readily be computed.
In the experiments referred to, the
paper ribbon wa, ruled so that one
second OF time was represented by one
millimeter OF space, and by a snbse-
qnent arrangement OF curvesa graphic
record Of speeds under various conli-
tions was attained. - Peal son s

he'd get it. But he didn't. I'd met

Sorry, old man, said T, but I
can't let You have it. But if $3.50
will be of any use to you l can spare
that much until next week. He took
the $50 and in due time repaid it.
Then 1 didn't see anything of him

up again, though, and sure enough
he did. Wanted 800 this time.

$1.25 would help him out at all | could
lend him that. Did he catch on?
Well, l should think he did. He took
the $l.25 and paid it back in week
and never asked for another loan.
He knew we'll enough the next time
he came to me I'd tell him couldn't

we were going it would not be long

The Oil Of Corn,

A by-product Of one of the modern
processes is corn oil. In the manu-.
facture of glucose it is necessary first
to extract the germ Of the corn, and
this has heretofore been wasted. In
Chicago a company now ships $50 bar
rels of corn oil per day, extracted
from the germs by pressure. just as
linseed oil is obtained. The oil,
shipped in second hand barrels, mostly
goes to England for soap.iuaking, and,
rated at three cents pound, is also
used for cheap paints, and is quick
drying.-American Machinist.
