novel feature about this machine. 1t
ervcs to shorten the draft and elevate
the draw rope to the are of a circle, the
derrick being pivoted in the center of
gravity. thereby minimizing the power
required to elevate. The draft is the
same at all points until the hay is de-
livercd. One horse does the %elevating.
1t is claimed that the new invention
will do an equal amount of work in less
than one-fourth the time required by
the old-style derricks. Its capacity is
estimated at from "a to 100 tons a day.

Every nation has its own fashion of
painting its ships Of war, just as it has
q distinguishing uniform for its SOL
diers. Our w navy favors black sides,

low tunnels and masts and ventilators,
says Answers. German men-of-war
are generally painted gray in time of
peace and carry bands on the tunnels;
but for their wal dress they have de-
cided for a sort of Khaki war paint
of n yellowish-brown hue. which their
scientific experts pronounce as being
most difficult to see both by day and
night.
The French go in for q mourning
dress of complete black, or black hulls.
with gray tunnels and masts. Their
channel squadron rather favors a com.
plete suit of neutral gray drab, which is
almost invisible in gray weather.
The late Spanish navy was painted
much after the English fashion. except
for those ships serving OIL their A,neri-
can and Pacific stations, which were
painted white.

Wool Prices.


1t is evidently safe to predict that
there will be higher prices on wool,
both in this country and England, for
the next five years than we have now,
and it is not all due to the tariff. The
number of sheep destroyed in Africa
will have some effect in reducing the
amount of wool produced there, but
probably the largest falling off in wool
production will be due to the number
of sheep killed in Australia to furnish
mutton for the armies in South Africa
and the Philippines. There is little
gain il not n decrease in the sheep kept
in the Argentine Republic, as they
have been killing many for mutton
since the United States has ceased kill
ing off her tiocks. We anticipate an
advance of so per cent. above present
prices within five days.-A.nerican

A NEW ALLOY.
II In Called MagnaIium and II II
Lighter stiIl Than Al
uminfum.

DR.. Ludwig Mach has successfully
elloyed aluminium with magnesium,
and thereby obtained a compound
which can be worked like brass, and
which is lighter still than aluminium.
These two metals are fitted for union.
Their densities are: Magnesium, LIS;
aluminium, 2.75; they both melt at
500 degrees centigrade, and their dila-
items amount to O.023 and O.027 milli-
meters per metef and per degree
centigrade. The metallurgical prop
critics depend upon the composition OF
the alloy. A ten per cent. magnesium
alloy resembles zinc, Is per cent. al
10y is like brass. and a 25 per cent. like
a compound bronze. The alloys can
-e soldered, it is stated, though that
point does not appear to be fully set
tied. keep well in dry and damp air,
and give good castings. The we'll
known scientific instrument maker.
Fuess, speaks favorably of some mag
nahum samples with from ten to
Twelve per cent. of magnesium sub
mitted to him. The alloy is almost as
white as silver, and sufficiently hard
to cut aluminium with a sharp-edged
piece of magnalium. 1t can be turned,
bored, etc, quite as well as brass, and
clean and neat threads Of a quarter of
a mililmeter pitch can be cut with
ease. 1t does not file so readily as
brass, bit is superior in this respect
to copper, zinc and aluminium Mag
nahum is suitable for lens mountings,
and would make good divided circles
and arcs for instruments in which
light weight is a consideration. II

BOsTON's SHORTEST STREET.
People from all Professions Fail to
Locate Ii When Questioned.

From the Boston Herald.
To the casual visitor Boston has always
been peculiar for two things-its crooked
streets and it's short ones.
Yet the native Bostonians could very
few of them. give you off-hand the name
of their shortest thoroughfare. They
make daily use of its convenient brevity,
but they never really think about it,
A man who was a stranger to the city
recently tried to get the correct answer
to the question, What Is your shortest
street," The hotel clerk didn't know, and
referred him to the policeman. The po-
lceman didn't know, and sent him to
the postoffice. The postoffice people were
ignorant and directed him to the City
Hall. In that building the same process
continued until he landed in the city en-
gineer's office There they got down one
of the large aliases or charts upon which
the city street plans are Autographed
He went over this with a rule while the
number of pairs of eyes watching over his
shoulders increased rapidly. Everybody in
the office grew interested.
An engineer of the city corps of engi-
neers dropped in got down another atlas,
Scanned several of its pages carefully
and finally laid his rule along Salt Lane,
running between Union street and Creek
Square.
That is the shortest ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
los feet in length-but 1t is not classified
as a street
Then, moving his metrica measuring
rule up the plan toward the right he went
on:
Here Is Marshall street running from
Hanover TO Union street, but, as II is
thirty feet long and only a portion of 1t
has been accepted by the qlty, 1t is too,
a doubtful way by which to settle the
question; so, leaving these. from the best
of my knowledge, l would say that Stod-
dard street, connecting Court and Howard
streets, in the west end of the town, is
the shortest street-that is. the shortest
thoroughfare in use for traffic and set
down on the city charts as street
Stoddard street is about twelve feet
wide from wall 90 wall, and just 100 feet
long. 1t runs from Howard street just
i'm front OF the old Howard Athenaeum,
and terminates at Court street.
Although there are only two entrances
on this street that lead into business
places fronting directly upon the side
walks, the old-fashioned brick buildings
