An automobile sled, says Electric

Nuernbergen Motorfahrzenge-Fabrick
Union. It is to be driven by ben
zine motor, water cooled, and
equipped with electromagnetic spark
ing devices. The cooling water cir

through pipes which are so disposed
as to constitute a foot-warmer. The
steering gear includes a tiller, which
is connected with the front runners.
A single lever controls the direction
of the shafts revolution. The sled
is driven by spiked wheel. which

When cattle are running at large
in the field there is an opportunity
for them to rid themselves of the
insect pests which annoy them. but
when the animals are tied in the sta

the head around to dislodge the flies
from the forward quarters. and so
the troublesome pests are free to tor

object of o. B. Gibson of Thayer, Ia.
in designing the strange looking shed
here pictured to provide an apparatus
which will enable the cattle to rid
their bodies of the flies as they
enter the stable, the latter place pre-
sumably being fiy-proof, as 1t ought to
be. at any rate. The shed has at its
inner end a series of brushes, SO ar
ranged as to leave an oblong opening
much smaller than the body, in order
that the flies may be brushed of as
the animals pass through to gain
an entrance to the interior. During
the passage of the COW the only place
from which light can enter the shed
is through the overhead chamber, to
which the insects fly as they are
brushed off. An automatic gate in
the shed opens and closes the en-
trance to this chamber with the pas
sage of each animal, thereby making

The Latest Washing Machine.

There are two very good reasons
why many housewives continue to do
their washing over the old-fashioned
tub and scrub the clothes on the wash
board every Monday. instead of max
ing use OF the modern washing ma
chine. One is the cost of the ma
chine and the other is the necessity
of finding room for an extra article
of washday furniture, which. in the
majority of city houses. is no small
item. To both these reasons the
washing machine invented by Leonard
B. Brooks of Independence, Ia, gives
the very good answer that 1t requires
only a small outlay of cash and takes
up no extra space when not in use.

jority of machines of this kind now
on the market. The inventor, no
doubt, obtained his idea from the old
fashioned clothes-pounder which it
was customary to use in connection
with small cask, to hammer the
dirt out of the clothes, instead of
rubbing them by hand. The pound
ing head is still used in the new in
vention, but with this decided i'm
provement. that 1t has a spring to
lift the head after each stroke, thus
eliminating fully half of the labor OF
operating the machine. The washer
is clamped on one side of a common
washtub, and when not in use can
be swung out OF the way. thus leaving
the tub open for the rinsing Of gar
ments as they are removed from the
water. When the washing is finished
the machine can be folded up and
