When the milk reaches the dairy II Is
cmptled into sterlllzed copper tank
on the ground floor.
There is large butter room on the
second floor of the dairy, which Is
finished in white cnamelled wood,

this room from below by means of
compressed air, and is converted into

and marble fitted cold storage room.
Near the dairy Is the largest of five

tered Jersey cows, and although
there are no elaborate decorations In
the place, the building has been de-
signed with the health and comfort Of
the cows IN view. Over each stall in
neat frame Is the name and pedigree

the COW may reach II with ease, and n

SURVEYING BY MACHINE.
The orograpb. which Has Been Adopted
by the Army.

Mention was made some time ngo of
the "Orogrnph," new instrument
which has been adopted In the United
States Army, and Is intended to taSc
the place of the engineers chain and
level In the important work of making
profile of any road or stretch of
country over which surveying or rec
onnoiterlng party Is passing.
This machine is shown In the ac-
companying cut from the Scientific
American. II consists of two substan.
tlnl carriage wheels, one following the
other In single track, supporting be-
tween them. and on one side, n box
of mechanism, and on the other n sort
of clstcrn. This clstern IL twenty-four
inches In diameter and one-hnlf inch
deep. II Is placed vertically and con
talns mercury. When In operation the
"Orograph" must be held upright and
not allowed to carecn to either side.
AS stated, the object of the machine
Is to draw upon paper an accurate pro-
file of the ground over which II IL
rolled, thus furnishing the army engl-
necrs with all the results of survey
excepting the courses and general topo-
graphy. The principles upon which
the machine IL constructed are those OF
the perambulntor, operating In con-
junction with lever maintained con
tinually In horizontal position by
floating upon n clstern of mercury.
This lever is twenty-four inches In
length and one-hnlf of an inch thick.
with floats attached TO each end, and
has free motion In vertical plane on
n horizontal axis.

A New Developments.

The so-callcd tucked flounce being
introduced Is by no means what is
suggested by the name. Most people
would fancy that the ilounce is trimmed
with one or more tucks arranged hori-
Zontally parallel with the hem. In
stead of this, the new tucked skirt
measures considerably less, about half
mt the top from what it measures at
the bottom hem. The tucks are run
up and down for about half the depth
of the ounce. They occur at the top
and end half way down. The tucks
are introduced as means of disposing
of the excess fullness of the flounce.
so as TO make IL swell and spread. 1t
Is graceful scheme. You sometimes
see skirt tucked about the hips so
that the fullness may be released be-
low the waist and made graceful
skirt. The same idea has been
adopted for the flounce. You would
not desire TO have more than one frock
made this way. because there are otner
modes in fashions, besides the tucked
tlounce.

Hand Brown read an interesting ar
ticlc on "The Origin Of Yankee Doc.
dle.'" The Doctors manuscript con.
sisted OF two letters relative to the
subject In question, which were writ.
ten to him by Mr.. Albert Matthews,
the eminent archaeologst, of Boston.
The letters discussed all the theories
which have been brought forward on
the subject, treating 1t very fully in
all the fifteen different solutions which
are suggested, but failed to make any
satisfactory answer to the question,
which, as he said in the Introduction,
had never been solved. The great
stumbling block on which the ques.
tion generally brought up was the
fact that the word yankee" had been
applied primarily only to the New Eng
landers and did not originate In the
South. Several of the solutions seemed
plausible, as, for instance, the fact
that the Algonquin Indians pronounced
n word 'Engree" which they applied
to the Observation-Disclosures American.

The "Boxcr Organization. Z"

The Boxers" are the scum OF the
Chinese population. They have no uni
form organization, nor any official
leaders. Formerly they carried broad
swords, but now they have well man
aged modern weapons, undoubtedly
supplied by the Imperial family.
Before drilling they throw them
selves on the ground. work themselves
into Il frenzy, and then believe them
selves invulnerable. The Empress
Dowager has fostered an otherwise
unimportant movement because of the
wholesale desertions from her army
under General Tung.
