ing machine. 1t can only be said that
no year is like any previous year in the
time OF the ebb and flow of the tides;
and yet. by taking due account of the
relative place of the sun, moon and
earth, and figuring where, in their re-
spective orbits, each will be at the mo-
ment forecasted, 1t is possible to prophe-
81 with all the certainty known to NOR
tai things, just what the depth of the
tide will be at any given spot.
Foreign governments have frequently
applied to the United States to do some
tide forecasting for harbors important to
their commerce with the machine invent
ed by Mr.. Terrell, which the new one is
expected to supersede. They have been
quite willing to pay for such work, and
as We have almost a monopoly of the
machine work, they would pay good
prices. But the officials of the Coast Sur
vey have had to decline. The money
for such work would go into the govern
ment treasury, and would not necessarily
be devoted to the work of this particular
bureau; and as the scientific gentlemen
can scarcely get along with their pres
emit appropriations, and are in need al
ways of more employees to perform the
urgent and absolutely necessary work.

Washington, June 14.-A machine which
does the work of thirty expert mathema-
ticians is being constructed by the United
States in it's scientific instrument
shop on Capitol Hill, in Washington.
1t is to be an improvement on an instru-
ment which has been in use for number
of years in the bureau of the coast survey,
which has charge of calculating the tides.

The employment of mechanical appara-
tus for doing work usually performed
by the human mind is more extensively
seen in the government scientific depart
ments than any other place in the coun-
try. The multiplying and divindg ma
chine, for example, is a great saver of
time and mental labor-not to mention
it's absolute accuracy The machine de-
clines to make mistakes, and if the oper-
ator tries to make seven go into six, will
ring a bell in protest. 1t works with a
crank, and the only mental effort re-
quired is that involved in looking at a
figure, which may be anything from one
to nine, and turning the crank that num-
Der of revolutions. The machine is en-
closed in long, fiat, narrow box. 1t is
about six inches wide, three deep and a
yard in length. When the lid is raised
three metallic slides are revealed, aud

seen through oval perforations are the
digits from naught to nine. A simple
manipulation brings into view the hg-
ures to be multiplied, and the rest is
purely mechanical. A little switch, which
reverses the gearing, converts the null
tipying machine into a dividing machine.
Practically all the adding in the gov
ernment's coast survey work is done oy
machines. Where the column contains
three quarters Of a million figures, as
frequently happens in the tide conputa-
tons, the saving in mental effort is very
considerable. The adding machine is no
longer a novelty to the public. The cash
register, which is one Of it's modinca-
tions, has femiliarized it to all. and there
Is now hardly bank which does not use
one or more. n. ellison GORDON

This machine will be in a class all by itself
as a mathematician. England has one
which does similar class of work, but
does not carry it's calculations so far. The
British instrument was invented by Sir
William Thompson, who, in recognition of
his services to the scientific world, was
elevated to the peerage, and is now Lord
Kelvin. The American instrument was
contrived by E. Terrell an employee of the
United States coast survey, who, before
his death a few years ago. was made a
member of the American Academy Of
Science.
The American machine now in use cost
$500 to make. 1t stands about two feet
high and is eighteen inches across. Its
half a foot of depth is a maze Of wheels,
puheys and levers. 1t does wonderful
things. To the unscientific beholder it is

JUVENILES ENTERTAIN
Interesting Programme Rendered By
 Miss Haskett's Pupils.

The entertainment given by Miss Haskett's pupils in the Methodist church last night was a very success ful affair in every way. for the audi ence taxed the seating capacity of the auditorium to its utmost, and the pro- gramme was of exceptional merit and pleased the hearers most thoroughly. Much credit was reflected upon Miss Haskett by the rendition of difficult character sketches and impersonations, in a manner befitting professionals, by her pupils.
 The leading feature of the evening 8 entertainment was 9 juvenile drama, entitled 'The Fairy of the Fountain" in which a score or more of little ones participated. To single out few numbers for special mention would seem unfair to the others, for all the parts were we'll rendered. But those who seemed to please the audience best were Willie Corpstein, in couple of character songs. in color-"Dixie Kid" and Push Dem Clouds Away"-in which he displayed the true genius Of a minstrel: Franklin McKelligon, in a Boys Dilemma:" Leland Dawes, on Our Baby Clara Bunker. in d very difficult recitation entitled My First Recital" Hazel Cowan. in a vocal selection entitled "Janets Choicc:" the recital of How He Saved St. Mich ael." by seven girls in concert, and a motion song and concert recitation en- titled "The Berry Pickers," by eight cen little girls.
 The recitations by Mabel Creager. en- titled "The Fate of Virginia" by Eril Hughes, entitled "The Lightkeeper' s Daughter" and by Hazel Cowan, en- titled "On the Rappahanock." were particularly we'll rendered, and worthy of special mention.

on the line of the Southwestern rail- road.
 It is customary for Robinson & Too hey to furnish their sub-contractors with all their supplies. including all kinds of merchandise, blows, scrapers, etc. MT. Harwell had been awarded a large contract and required supplies and material amounting to nearly $1.500. Harwell loaded his supplies at the store of the commissary at Bisbee, on Thursday last. and started for the section of ground awarded him in his contract.
 Instead of stopping at the designated place, he started for New Mexico, with merchandise and supplies that would last him for some months, Word was soon brought to Mir. Robinson that Harwell had thrown up his job and was making tracks for New Mexico as fast as six horses could pull a wagon Mir Robinson secured the services of Deputy Sheriff Strickland and overlook the wagon near Camp No. 3, about nine miles from the New Mexico line.
 Harwell cut loose one of his work teams and escaped across the line Deputy Sheriff Strickland unhitched buggy animal and gave pursuit, but without success. The buggy horse could not travel in the rocks and liar well made good his escape.
 Robinson denies the report that he and Toohey will dissolve partnership He says:
 "The report was probably circulated by a broken down politician who was in our employ for short time as time keeper, and who afterwards returned to Phoenix. MT. Toohey and are on very pleasant terms and the work in Mexico is going forward without any difficulty"
 He says the grade has been com pleted thirty-five miles in Mexico and track has been laid a distance of iif- teen miles and is progressing at the rate of a mile a day. The grade east has been completed for distance of twenty-five miles. No steel will be laid east until the track-layers have over- taken the graders in Mexico.

Mr.. Sol Durbin has had this new pillow
in use on his farm near Howell for the
past week, and any farmers who are in
terested in seeing the work it is doing
will find it we'll worth their while TO
ride over and see it.. This is the 2-disc
gang. The plow weighs $50 pounds,

is handling the plow, is cutting % inches
about s inches deep, using three medi.
um sized horses. He had four hitched,
but found it needless bother, so turned
one out TO pasture. In the same field
there are two men working with ll.inch
walking plows, using 3'horse teams.
These teams are working just as hard
on the l4inoh plow as the other team
is on the 22.inoh.
Now the work that is going on there
