Chronometer Which Registers One
Thousandth Part of a Second.

Chronometer Which Registers One
Thousandth Part of Second.
This is a picture Of the chronometer
made in Berlin which registers the one
thousandth part of a second. 1t has
an immense dial of almost ten feet in
diameter mounted upon a transport
able platform. The dial shows two
concentric rings of which the outer
is divided into $50 degrees and the
inner circle into 200 degrees. The
hand is five feet long and 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 represents one
thOusandth part of a second. A spe-
cial arrangements makes it possible TO
have the turn only once or three times
around the dial within a second, the
values of the degrees being then CORE
spondingly changed.
The sudden stopping of the hand,
which turns at an enormous rate of
speed. its point travelling at the rate
of $50 feet a 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 appar-
atus consisting of 10 Photographic cam
eras has been arranged in front of the
big dial. These cameras are open OPP

with very slim slit at point pass

General Benjamin F. Tracy, former
Secretary of the Navy, and associate
of General Benjamin Harrison in rep
resenting this government in the mat
ter of the Venezuelan boundary dis
pute, finds his keenest enjoyment in
smoking. During his recent voyage to
Paris he passed a good deal of his
time in the smOking-roOm of the steam
err. But the general was nearly 80
years old before he acquired the taste
for tobacco. Previous to that time
smoking made him ill.,
During the early '70s he was en-
gagged as counsel in a celebrated case,
and was compelled to devote not only
the day but the greater part of the
night to his task. Once when he was
thoroughly tagged out an associate
suggested that cigar with his coffee
might have a soothing effect. General
Tracy succumbed to the temptation,
and before he was aware of it had fin
ished his third cigar. They seemed to
quiet his nerves, and he was able to
work over his papers the whole of that
night. Since that time, perhaps out of
gratitude for the effect of those three
cigars, General Tracy has been a
smoker.-Philadelph Post.

10 PURIFY AIR.
Device Which Supplies Buildings,
Shipa, Mines, Etc, with Fresh Air.


shipa, Mines, Etc, with Fresh Air.
A paNent has recently been granted
to JameN b. Slade, of Riverhead, n. Y,
for a device by means of which build
irgs, shipV, mines and boiler-rooms are
constantly supplied with fresh air, a
free exit being provided for the foul
and vitiated air, SAYS the Scientific
American.
The contrivance consists of tubular
casing adapted for insertion in cir
cular opening in the roof of a building
or the deck of a vessel. Inside of the
casing a sleeve is so supported as to
leave an air-passage between the casing
and the sleeve. Mounted in the sleeve
is a tube provided internally with n
spider or frame, and at lis upper ond
with a rotable ingresS tube. This in
gress tube likewise has Il spider or
frame on which rod is centrally pv-
oted. The upper end of the casing is
/ inclosed by hood formed With Il con-
/ zeal end, through which the ingress
tube passes. With the cOnical end of
the hood an ingress tube is connected
Wnlcn communicates Nitn llle ihleil"A
of the hood. These ingress and egresS
tubes are curved in opposite directions,
and are mounted to swing in such a
manner that the ingress lube shall con-
stantly present its opening to the wind.
The ingress tube continually forces a
column of air downward through the
building, and the egress tube permits
