A MECHANICAL MILKMAID.

A German manufacturer has invent
ed a new milking machine, which is
finding a ready sale in Europe, espe-
cially in Denmark, Switzerland and
Russia. An iron pipe about one inch
in diameter is conducted through the
stable, and is fixed at the ceiling so
that it remains about three feet above
the back of the animals. Flexible
shafts, provided with small cocks, run
from this pipe to a cylindrical milk
collector which, again, is held by a
belt laid around the backs of the cows.
At one side of the COW there is at
tached a small flexible hose divided
into four small arms, all provided with
with the Ildder. The first mentioned
iron pipe, running all through the sta
BILE, is connected with a large cylinder
fixed at the ceiling, from which a per-
pendicular tube runs down into a YES
sci filled with water. By means of
small hand-pump the air is compressed
in the cylinder and thus through the
whole pipe: The water, when rising,
regulates the pressure in the pipes. 1t
needs only a few movements of the
pumps piston to compress the air
throughout the whole system. The
only thing to be done then is to open
the small cocks of the pipes connected
with the udder, and the milk flows into
| the abOve-described milk-cOllecting
vessel.
By this apparatus a large number of
| COWS can be MIXED in few minutes.
| The whole process, from the beginning
to the end, does not require more than
eight minuteS.-Philadelp Record.

Y. NJ E. A. Billiards.

EDITOR ADVERTIoER:-T i'm
p1 ession has been made that the Y. NJ.
c. A. has already decided to put in a
billiard and smoking room. AS l think
lit results from misunderstanding an
article in Wednesday mornings Adver-
tiser, please permit me to correct the
misapprehension. The committees OF
the Y. NJ. G. A. met at Mr.. Weldon 5
Tuesday evening TO confer on matters
pertinent to the ACKNOWLEDGMENT to
vote on or decide anything. In one
speech the matter Of having an amuse-
ment room where pool and smoking
would be allowed was mentioned; but
it was only a suggestion. No commit
tee would have power to act in mat
ter of that kind. 1t would have to
come before the Association and has
not even been considered.

THE YACHT ROVER WHITE ELEPHANT
This One is Said to be
Really White.
Great Ceremonies Greet Its Arrive
at the Palace of the King of
Siam at Bangkok.

The white elephant has at last reach
ed by such considerations, should
have been f1attered by the stir its ar
rival caused yesterday afternoon, says
the Bangkok Times of July 2S There
pie in the crowd The procession,
which was under the direction of Nom
Chao Alangkarn, was certainly pic
turesque. 1t left the railway terminus
at four o'clock and the programme
which we have already given was all
carried out. At Wat Saket some ten
Brahmin priests were in attendance,
and poured holy water over the new
royal elephant to drive out the jungle
spirits. The ceremonies were contin-
ued within the Palace walls both last
evening and today, the elephant re-
ceiving it's name this morning from the
King. 1t is a female elephant, about
five years old and a little over four sok
in height. All the experts, and there
are many on such an occasion as yes
terday, pronounced it's color to be re-
markedly fine. 1t was said to be
really white and though white is
not the correct term the coloring was
very distinctly marked. The elephant
was led in the procession by Luang
KOchasit.
1t is reported that two white ele-
plants have been captured at Singora,
and are to presented to His Majesty
when he goes south next month. Sim
