Wanted to See the Baby.

Some young women, according to a Philadelphia paper, noticed a foreign looking man pushing a closed baby carriage. Their curiosity was aroused and one of them asked to see the baby that was so completely covered. The man hesitated but finally succumbed to the girls glances. and, unbuttoning the apron, he disclosed a small, round gentleman, with mustache and Napo- leon, quietly chewing an unlighted cigar. The girls were speeches. with surprise and shame for having in truded on the mans privacy, although he was tiny one. under three feet in length. He graciously pardoned the women as he stroked his nustache, and invited them to see him at the export exposition, where he has just arrived to be exhibited. Then, bidding them good-by. he ordered his attend. ant to continue with the daily ride.

FIRST MACHINE TOOL.
Potteis Wheel Appears on moanment
 ef Ancient Egypt.

Of Ancient Egypt.
 There can be very little doubt that the potter's wheel, or potter's lathe, as it is also termed, represents today the most ancient form Of machine tool known. Among the many sculptured records of the trades and occupations which so viYidly represent the customs and habits of the ancient Egyptians, the potter and his wheel have been found frequently depicted. and it Is curious to note that through the all most countless generations since that time this crude type of lathe has un- dergone no material modification The primitive form was evidently small round table, set on pivot, and free to revolve, being turned by hand at in- terya.s; and to this device there were added in the course of time such sim pie ceaYenienees as a table to support 1t and foot or hand power turning arrangement. displaced, in recent years, in possibly few isolated cases. by actual engine power driving. In general use, however, the potter's AE0i u tue present lllle pears all Iue characteristics of the one which, 4,000 years or more ago, served to turn out pottery attesting unsurpassable taste and skill. It is curious, too, that in none of those ancient records are there shown examples of the forerunner of the common turning lathe as we know It to-day even though the art of turn ing may be traced back to very re- note period. Among Egyptian antiq- uitfes that have been found at Theoes and other cities there have been many specimens which exhibited indubitable signs that the material, while in revolution, was subjected to the action of tool held at rest-legs of stools and chairs, for example, and lamps and musical instruments-and in later centuries, among the Greeks and Romans, the lathe was Hndeubted- ly in common use. Unfortunately, however, none Of these early writers have left any account of the lathes and tools employed by their contem- poraries. -Cassier's Magazine.

Tons of It Are Shipped from Arizona
 10 a South Dakota Factory.
 The polishing works of this city is now engaged on the stupendous job of getting out s1,o00, 900 worth of polished chalcedony, or petrified wood, to be taken to the Paris exposition. This petrifed wood is hauled rro., it's na- tive heath n Arizona, distance of sfxty-f1ve miles. to railroad, and then shipped to this city to be cut and pol ished. It is shipped here in great logs and stumps, weighing many tons each, just as they have lain for many ages during the process required by nature 10 turn the wood into beautiful and yariegated coiors of stone. The pro- cess of saving the stone up in shape for polishing Is most tedious, the huge machinery used for the purpose being able to saw only from an inch to three inches q day into 1t. After being cut and polished the stone is worked up into every conceivable shape, from cuff buttons to tops for center tables and 7~eat columns, which cost a small for tune. The great exhibit which is to be made in Paris will be wonderful advertisement for Sioux Falls, for the reason thae nowhere else on earth is there machinery mammoth yet deli- cate enough to saw, polish and put into shape ths variety of articles that will be on exhibition.-Sioux Falls Jour nal.

The story of the locomotive sounds simple in the recital. The wonder of the thing comes into view only when one reflects on the speed and nicety with which cumbrous parts are made to do their duty. The piston and con- meeting bar Of a modern locomotive weigh some 800 pounds. When the speed is sixty miles an hour these parts travel back and forth five times in a second.

INCORPORATING SHIPS.
Experiments with Copper on a Tua
 Prove Successful.

AJoSe 5dfGS5+iN4s
 According toa report on the condition of the bottom of the tug Assistance Of the navy department, the eleetroplating of iron hulls with copper appears to be a success. The Assistance was electro plated with copper to a depth of one- thirty-seeond of an inch before il waa launched in 1895, and when it was talk en out of the water at the Norfolk navy yard a few days ago it was found that practically no electrolysis had set iE and that the bottom was about clear Of barnacles and other marine growths. At TO time since 1t was launched has the Assistance been doeked or cleaned. During the four years it received a number of hard knocks and was on the rocks several times It was found necessary to patch over certain weak spots as the result of these accidents, and 1t was only in the vicinity of these patches that any galyanic action was found Owing to its clean bottom, the speed of the Assistance has not di- unfinished, while all the other tugs in use in Chesapeake bay have been taken out for scraping about once month. Experience shows that three months of service in salt water reduces the speed of a vessel about 28 per cent, so the advantage of this copper electroplating is at once apparent. The cost of the plating is about B square foot. The saving in docking would be enormous, as the expense of docking vessel is between $3,000 and s4,000.
