RAIN-MEASURING MACHINES.
Interesting News Which Raindrop
Furnish for British Scientists.

The British Rainfall association, as it
ROW stands is the result of half con
tury's unremitting labor. From some
thing over 100 at the start it has now
more than 1000 reporting stations. which
extend over all parts OF the British isles.
Al each station Is an agent of the as
soclation, armed with Il rain gauge, max
ing observations to be eventually dis
patched to headquarters Tor embodiment
i'll the annual report. On December 81
of each year printed forms are sent to
all the agents. who are supposed to fill
them in with the particulars of their OBJ
SerVatlonS for the entire twelve months
But now as to how the rain is meas
ured. 1t is done by means of a gauge
There are various kinds of gauges. cost
ing from about 12S6d up to several
pounds. The SnoWd0n gauge is consid-
cred a very trustworthy apparatus.
1t consists of II long circular metal
which is fixed into the ground 10y means
of four wooden spiked stakes Ii CON
talns glass bottle and metal funnel
Al the side Of it., also fixed into the
ground by means Of a spiked stake is Il
graduate glass, which will register from
hundrcdth Of an inch to half an inch.
Inc rain is caught in the funnel. which
fits flush with the reservoir, and passes
into the glass bottle. From this it il
poured int0 the graduation glass and 81
measured.
At Camden square (the Headquarters Of
the association there is Il very elaborate,
and ingenious gauge, which measures
and registers automatically. The rain is
caught in a funnel and passes into a
metal cup. which is connected with an
index. As the cup fills it presses upon
the index, which marks line ON paper
form wound around a cylinder
When the cup is full it turns over aud
emptieS its contents into larger reccn-
tacle ana returns TO its former position,
the index having registered exactly one
inch and shifted its position ready to re-
peat the operation. At the same time 4
dial on the outside of the gauge also
marks the working of the index The
former can be read at night by means Of
a lantern which is attached at the side.
So that the depth of rainfall may be
ascertaiued ut once by merely glanciug
at the dial fixed to the gauge.
Another remarkably ingenious cOntriv-
ance to be found at Camden square and
which took years to perfect, is an clab0r-
ate apparatus which will simultaneously
measure rain, snow and hail and register
them. 1t will also register thunder,
lightning and the rate of the wind. Il
gives the duration of thunderclaps and
the number Of lightning flashes. Il is al
together a most wonderful invention.
The average rainfall of Il locality is

SUBSTITUTE FOR "INDIAN. .
Attempt TO Coin a Name for the Orig
inaI American.

There is no satisfactory denOtive term
in use to designate the aboriginal tribes
of America. Most biologists and many
ethnologists employ the term "Ameri-
cam" but this is inappropriate, since it
connotcs. and is commonly used for the
present prcdominantly Caucasian popu-
latiOn.
The term Indian" first used lin the
Spanish form '1ndi0" by Columbus, III
the belief that the lands which he had
discovered in the West were on the con-
fines of India, in Asia. is universally used
in popular speech, and writing, and to
some extent in chronological literature,
but is Objectionable. in that it perpetu-
ates an error. and that it connotes and
so cOnfuSes. distinct peoples. Such an
error was eXcusable at the time at which
it originated. but there is no reason for
its continuance, and it evidently would
be well If the term Indian could be
supplanted by some appropriate scientific
designation.
During a discussion of the subject at a
meeting of the American AnthrODolig-
ical society, on May % of last year, Maj.
j. w. Powell advocated the use of the
name "Amerind." an arbitrary compound
of the leading Syllables of the frequently
used phrase, American Indian" The
proposed term carries no implication of
classic relation, raises no mooted QucS-
races, and perpetuates no obsolete ideas.
So far as the facts and theories of eth
biologists are concerned, it is purely demo
tive. The term is sufficiently brief and
euphonious for all practical purposes, not
only in English, but also in the languages
of continental Europe. 1t may be read
lily pluralized in these languages in ac-
cordance with their respective rules,
without losing its distinctive Senate
character. Moreover. it readily lends
itself to adjectival termination in two
forms, viz, ''Amerinian" and Amer
inlic," and is susceptible also of adverbaI
termination, while it can be readily used
in the requisite actional form "Amerin-
die" or in relational forms. such as
''post-Amerindian."
The term is proposed as n designation
for all the aboriginal tribes of tie Amer
lean continent and adjacent islands, III
Guiding the Eskimo.
The working ethnOlOgistS in the society
were practically unanimous in approving
| the term for tentative adoption and for
| commendation to fellow students in this
! and other countries. As the working
SPECIALISTS form the court of last resort.
| it cannot be doubted that any term ac-
| ceptahle TO them may be expected to
| come into use with considerable rapdity.
| and be eventually adopted by thinkers
| along other lines.-Scientific American

no value, and were often burnt off at the
mouth of the furnaces. They were next
partially used by retaining a portion to
heat the air for the blast and burning a
larger proportion under boilers to gcner-
ate steam for driving the blowing en-
gines. No attempt was made to burn the
gases economically, and considerable
quantity was wasted. In 1894 attempts
were made in Scotland. at Wishaw, near
Glasgow: at Seraing, in Belgium. and az
Horde, in Germany, to explode them in
an engine cylinder. in the same way as
producer gas. instead of under boilers
Complete success attended these pioneer
efforts. 1t was found tnat when thus
utilized the quantity required was only
onc-fifth of that Beeued when burnt under
the old system. and this discovery has
been very fruitful of good results, espe-
cially in Germany and Belgium.-Eng;

How British Farmers Get Help.

Michaelmas Hiring fair brought
throngs of men and women, young and
old, into the picturesque streets of High
Wycombe. drawn from a radius that ex-
tended far beyond the limits of the coun-
ty of Buckinghamshire. They stood in
groups for the inspection of the farmers
and their wives. awaiting the possibility
of a change of situation and an agree
able variation Of wages. Shepherds and
c0wmen wore tufts Of hair stuck in their
caps to distinguish them, while the head
dress of plowmen and teamboys was en-
bellished with knotted whipcord. The
younger candidates taking advantage of
the prevailing scarcity OF labor invaria-
bly, sought an increase Of wage which
was, as a rule. readily given. especially
in eases where faithful service had been
rendered - london Telegraph.
