CANG-NEEDLE MACHINES.
One of the Many Varieties of Sewing
 Machines Made Nowadays.

It is more or less familiar fact that sewing machines are used nowadays for sewing many different materials, as leather, paper, canvas, carpets, rub- Der. They are used for making but tonholes and sewing on buttons. They are made of many types and in simply hundreds of varieties for special uses. But it may not be known so common ly that there are many sewing ma chimes now made with more than one needle. The first of these, two- needle machine, was made in the early eighties, about fifteen years ago. It was used by manufacturers of heavy clothing, perhaps first of all by the overall manufacturers, making seams stronger by putting in two rows of stitching. The utility and economy of the tWo-needle machine soon became apparent and it came into widespread and diversified use. Whenever two rows of stitching were to be made, a tWo-needle machine was used. A fa- miiiar illustration of the work is seen in the two parallel lines Of stitching running with perfect exaetness around the top of shoe vamp. Shirt sleeves are stitched into the body of the shirt on a double needle machine, the two rows being made in the same time that it would take to make one Collars and eaf-s were stitched on two=needle machines, as were a great variety Of these things, and later there were pro- duced machines with more than two needles, the first of these coming into use within five or six years. There are now made sewing machines with as many as twelve needles. A twelve needle sewing machine simply has twelve needles where the ordinary sewing machine would have one. h. stead of single spool of thread on the top Of the machine there appears there rack of twelve spools There are twelve tension disks The thread from each spool runs through it's own ten sion disk to it's own needle. There are below twelve shuttles, one for each | needle. When this machine is oper- ated, it makes twelve rows of stitch ing, just as an ordinary machine would make one. The twelve-needle machines are used chiefly in the manufacture of corsets.

MANY WEEDS GOOD TO EAT.
Certain Kinds Are often Used for Food
 by Families.

Go out on any farm and see the rarm- CT hoeing away at the weeds that threaten to choke his crop. You may hear him say things that wouldn't sound nice about the weeds. The dan- delion isn't the only weed eaten by people who know what's good to eat Take wild ehicory. the plague of the farmer It makes one of the finest salads served. piquant, tender anG wholesome. Charlock or wild mustard is another bane of the farmer. He doesn't know that as a pot herb i. can give soup a delightful flavor. The dock-weeds-hoW annoying the whole family are! Yet the broad leaf vari- ety and the curly leaf are used all over Europe as table vegetables. There's pokeweed commonest of ak. In France it is cultivated It takes it's place. Sorrel, fictitious and chevril are looked on as flavoring for soup. Everybody ill American hates net tie and can't see what use it is. In Scotland Poland and Germany tender young nettle leaves are used as greens. The Germans boil them with other vegetables to give them a piquant fla yor- Purslane is another weed that can be treated in the same way. Most people think milkweed poisonous It is medicinal vegetable, with a de- lightful flavor all it's own.

HARDENING PLASTER OF PARIS
Process by Which the Usefulness of the
 Composition May be Enhanced.

"These plaster casts are very success ful as a rule,' said a lover of fine art in the statuary gallery at the Art instl- tate the other day, "but unfortunately, taey cannot be long preserved. The humid weather of which we have superabundanee in this locality, will destroy them ere many years have passed This is the general complaint. Recently, however, patent has been taken out in Germany for the treat ment of articles of plaster of paris with an aqueous solution of ammonium borate, for the purpose of hardening them and rendering them insolube in water. The process referred to is said to give results decidedly superior to anything that has heretofore been pro- posed. The hardening liquid may either be mingled with the plaster in the act of molding or may be applied on the surface of the finished casts with brush. The solution is prepared oy dissolving boracic acid in warm water and adding thereto sufficient am monia to form the borate, which re- mains in the solution. The manner of 
 using the solution is thus described: The saturation of the gypsum or 9aint- ing If the plaster of paris is carried out in the cold. The objects are ab- sequently rinsed off and dried. Tha surface becomes very hard after two days and insoluble in water, while the induration in the interior advances more slowly. By means of the fluid described gypsum floors can be haru- ened and rendered more durable and t.mperyious to tbe influence of the weather. saturating with ammonium borate is said to be especially useful on the exterior walls of buildings, bar racks. etc.; on the latter, because ex- periments have proved an antiseptic action of the liquid.

FLYING ENGINES TAKE WATER,
Tanks Are Repienished While the Loco
 motive Is Making Speed

On many of the railroads centering at Chicago it is no longer necessary for train to stop to enable the engineer to replenish his boilers with water. All travellers have now become accustomed to seeing the narrow trough, 1 200 to 1,400 feet long, at various dead level points along the road and they know that the strip of water which it con- tains is scooped up by the engine as it speeds over the tracks. But people from foreign countries often ask ques- tions about the water between the tracks and marvel when they hear the story about drinking" the engine Of the fly. What seems marvellous me- chaEical contriyance is an extremely simple thing. A pipe with scoop end is fastened to the tender. It is C shaped, with the top end pointing into the water tank and the bottom eurled under the body of the tender. By a series of levers this end may be dropped until it reaches the level of the ties. When the engine reaches the trough the fireman drops the scoop end, which is 31a inches high and F inches wide, into the trough, into which it sinks a distance of about six inches or within an inch of the bottom. It may wabble slightly without doing any harm, because the trough is A incbSs wide. Dropping the end is all that is done, for the motion of the en- zine does the rest. The water rushes into tue pipe and thence into the tank with rush and force that suggests to the uninitiated the use of powerful en- i zines. "The most remarkable. thing about the water-taking scoop. said a railroad official, "is the fact that the speed Of the train must be reduced when the water is taken on. t reaches the bend in the pipe with such force that if the train were allowed to go 1t it's regular speed the metal would be seriously strained, SD we reduce the speed to about thirty miles all hour and have the best results, While the engine is passing over the trough at the rate of thirty miles an hour 1t takes up about l, GOO gallons of water about as much as would be contained l jn 100 spirit barrels.

FIRST PATENT IN AMERICA.
Was Granted In 164s by the General
 eourt of Massachusetts


 he Boston Transcript: To the s0s. court of Massachusetts belongs the aonor of granting the first Amer ican patent; this was in 1648, and was then designated as monopoly It was confined to the region controlled by Massachusetts, and the one issue ap- parently included all the inventions of the inventor connected with engines that depended upon water for their mo- tive power. The limit of the monopoly was fourteen years, and the court not only retained power to forbid exporta- tion, but to prevent exorbitant charges upon the public for their use. The patent was issued in this form: .Jenkes Monopolye.-At a general Courte at Boston the 9th of the 9th Mo 1648. The cor't consid ,inge ye ne- cessity of raising such manufactures of engins of mills to go by water for speedy dispatch of much worke with few hands, and being sufficiently in- formed of ye ability of ye petition to forme such workes grant his peti. ton (yet no Othr D sen shall set up o1 use any such new invention. or trade for fourteen yeares without ye licence of him the said Joseph Jenkes) so farr as concernes any such new invention, & so it shall be always in ye powr of this cote to restrain ye exportation of such manufactures & ye prizes of them to moderation if occasion so require. This inventor, Joseph Jenkes, or Jenks, as it would now be spelled came from Hammersmith, England, settled down in Lynn in 1914, and died in 16S2-S3, aged S1. He was a black smith and machtnist, made the dies for the coining of the "pine-tree" money and built the first fire engine In this country-altogether a man of great inventive genius and the ances- tor of a large number of descendants. One of his sons removed to Rhode Is- land. w,ere he built several mills.

Horses, Cats, Pigs, Goats and Rabbits
 All Have Become Nu sances.

Ordinary domestic animals under ia. vorable conditions often become pests. Some instances: In 1897 Nevada passed & law permitting the killing of wild horses as nuisanees. In Washington they are cut up to bait traps. Most Of the wild horses on tue continent are descended from few loosed by Cortez in Mexico. In Australia hunters shoot wild horses, which eat grass needed by the sheep and cattle. Cats have made home on Cat island. one of the Ker- gueleas, where they are SC wild that ii is impossible to tame them. Their pro- genitors escaped from whaling vessels. They were put ashore on Sable island. off Nova Scotia, to kill the rabbits that had become pest. Now the rabbits are gone and the cats are worse. Pigs were put ashore on many islands, such as Bermuda, the Galapagos and is- lands along the southern coast, as food for shipwreelled sailors. In every ease they have multiplied and become wild Capt Cook put some ashore OH New Zealand, where they are now shot as game. St Helena, mountainous is land of small extent, 2.700 feet high was heavily wooded at it's discovery To-day it is a rocky desert, owing te the introduction of goats by the Por. tuguese in 1513. When the goats ate off the underbrush rain washed away the soil and the big trees tumbled. Rabbits are the worst of all animal scourges in Australia and New zea- land. They are poisoned, killed for their skins. for their meat; but still they multiply. Cats alone can kill them off: but then cats become pest also. Since 1873 New Zealand has shipped more than 2ao 1000. .0oO rabbit skins.--NeW York World.
