counters correctly. In the register here
shown the mechanism has been simpli-
fed to such a degree that it can no
longer be used for an excuse of high
cost; in fact, this machine can be scld
cheap enough to bring 1t within the
reach Of many printers and others who
could not afford the high-prlced count
ing machines hitherto sold. In the
picture the end of the casing is cut
away to show the interior to better adj
carry the loosely mounted shaft, and
only the right-hand disc is fast to the
shaft. The fitting arm is loosely pivoted
and is provided with a weight at the
rear to return the lever after the revo-
luton of the press or other machine
has drawn it down. At each down
ward stroke a pawl on the vertical
arm Of the lever revolves the unit
disc one notch, the remaining discs
remaining stationary by reason Of the
locking bar shown beneath the disc.
On each disc there is a projecting
pin, and each locking bar has a pro-
jecting finger extending in line. with
the path of the pin on the next disc.
AS the pin engages the finger 1t de-
presses the locking par clear of the
notch, and the disc being free it re-
wolves one point with the shaft, being
actuated by it's own weight and fric-
tiOnal contact with the shaft. Thus
at each complete revolution of a disc
its pin releases the locking bar Of the
next higher disc long enough for it to
move forward one notch, when the bar
again locks it until the pin has made
its next revolution. Harry R. Heal is
! the inventor.

the best flower pot now in the market.
The inventor, who is well-knOwn fer

being able to circulate around the
earth in the inner pot the plant devel-
ops not only much better than in an
ordinary pot, but also grows quicker
and larger, and keeps better The
pots are both made of clay, and the
outer pot has several nose-shaped holes
through which the air is admitted into
similar holes of the inner pot. The lat
ter can be turned in such a way that
its holes are closed by the outer pot.

AIilk-Can Loading Device,

A valuable Improvement in the milk
shipping industry has just been erect
I'd at Lonelyhurst, according to the art
list, but the farmer is evidently not en-
tirely pleased with the prospect, as it
is intended to reduce the time neces-
sary to load the cans into the car,
which, of course, will lessen the time
for cycling the train and its passengers.
1t has hitherto been common to accu-
mulate the cans of milk on the plat
form to await the arrival of the milk
train, and then the cans are lifted and
dragged into the car by four or five
men, the train meanwhile blocking the
main line and preventing its use by
other trains. The milk trains are pro-
verbally slow because of the delay

would hardly be visible, and might
cause wreck for which the trainmen
could not be blamed. The attachment
shown in the accompanying drawing
is designed to throw the light rays
on the rails while rounding curve in
either direction and turn them into line
with the track again as soon as the
straight road is reached. In this in
Vention the headlight is mounted on
a revolving platform, instead of being
attached directly to the boiler, which is
geared to a vertical rod running down
ward to the forward truck of the en-
CINE. AS this truck is the first to feel
the bend of the rail on reaching a
curve, and turns itself accordingly, it
revOlves the rod in one direction or the
other, which turns the lamp cores
pOndingly and throws the light on the
curve. The instant the locomotive
reaches the straight track again the
light is thrown straight ahead, having
already crossed the track once in fol-
lowing the curve, thus giving the en-
gineer a view Of the line for some dis
lance ahead while yet on the curve,
an impossibility with fixed headlight.
Josephine and George A. JOslen are the
inventors.

Rapid Envelope opener.

Perhaps the ingenious device here
pictured will recommend itself to the

arrangement will slip the end Of an en-

contents. AS will be seen by a glance

strop, provided with two handles, is
threaded around three rolls. The me-
chanism is such that directly either
end of the strOp is pulled, the razor
swings over to that side until its edge
meets the leather. When the pull is
reversed the razor is DETECTED to the
opposite strap and the other side of the
edge is treated to the strOpping pro-
cess. This Arrangement prevents the
cutting of the strop and insures a keen
edge. While, no doubt, the profession
al tonsOrial artist will look upon the
invention with dlsdain, the man of the
safety razor type will find it a great
boon.

fitting covers to exclude the moisture.
Fastened to one side of the reservoir
is a pistol for use in attracting atten-
ton. The inventors also mention a
megaphone, a compass and a chart of
the vessels course as articles which
might be added. while a mast and sail
also have their place in the equipment.
1t is quite certain that If a ship
wrecked man succeeded in equipping
himself with this apparatus he could
maintain life for several days, and
perhaps, weeks.

| RENAISSANCE STITCH. !
One OF The New and Well.Nlgh Ubl-
qult0us Stitches.


Bon Ton gives this sample Of the new
renaissance stitch, which serves adj
mrably In rows by way Of trimming or
as a means OF Joining seams I'm skirt
or bodice, just as does the ever admired
but misunderstanding hemsutchlng.
The stitch Is made with a twisted
embroidery silk. AS the sample shows
the material must be turned In on both
edges about one-quarter OF an inch
deep. Then the material must bd
basted to brown manila paper, leaving
the space desired between generally
one-half inch. Any space desired can
be used The space must be positively
even. The material is then stitched on
the edges to the paper. The stitch Is
made by putting the needle through the
folded edge of the material from one
edge to the other BE very careful to
keep the spaces one-eighth OF an inch
apart. After the straight stitch across
is made the length Of the seam, the
loop stitch drawing the straight
stitches together must be made.
To make this stitch pass the needle
through The centre Of three straight
stitches. Be sure the needle goes
through the silk Of all three stitches.

incidental to this labor. Frederick E.
Tichenor has conceived the idea of
slanting platform, which shall feed
the cans automatically toward the car
door as soon as the train arrives. The
details of construction are not shown
in the Illustration, there being a lock-
ing gate across the lower edge of the
platform, which serves to keep the
cans back from the exit. When the
train arrives this gate is tilted down
into the doorway, being provided with
a guide to feed the cans from the plat
form into the car without handling,
the angle and height of the platform
being such that a sufficient grade can
be attained to slide the cans in their
guides. Each guide has lock at the
lower end, and as soon as a row Of
cans Is released they slide down the
grade and into the car.

There is probably no food better cal
culated to promote laying in fowls than
cowpeas. Peas or beans of any sort are
good. but large ones must be ground,
or fowls will rarely eat them. or cow
peas the smallest variety should be
chosen. as fowls unused to such grain
must be accustomed to 1t gradually.
But once get them to eat peas and the
victory Is won. They are perfect sub
stitute for insects, meat scrap, blood
meal and other animal preparations
that are often so combined with cheap
substances that the hens are a long

milk cans large enough to hold one

1t does not matter whether Ii Is In

will be ready to churn in twenty-fOur
hours. Use a thermometer and churn
ut about GA or 81 degrees. Take up the

Tile through 1t, as it spoils the grain.
Salt it, using pure salt, and mold it
as quick as possible. Wrap each pound
in nice clean cloth wrung out Of
cold water.
Get you an empty butter keg from

nice, clean, new white paper in the bot
tom, then put in the butter Put an
other piece ON top just below the lid
and hang it in the well. Paper is bet
ter than cloth, as the cloth mildews.
When you are ready to go to town,
use another keg just like the one in
the well; put clean towel in the bot
tom; put in the butter; then another
clean towel on top. Fasten on the lid,
wet some clean sacks in a tub, fold
them without wringing on the bottom

There Is no branch of farm opera,
lions that can be permanently and

breeds OF fowls will bring back many

and with but little risk.
Breeders have learned that 1t pays
to send out no eggs except from good
stock. A sitting or two is all that is
needed for good start. A very few
dellars spent for good eggs means q
