VOTING BY TELEGRAPH,
An Electrical Device Once Planned
for Use In the Legislatures
OF Germany.

There is only one reference to me-
chanical voting in the 13 reports on
foreign parliaments which have lately
been issued. This occurs in a memo
randum on the subject of divisions in
the reichstag and Prussian landtag.
As long ago as 1869 motion was in
troduced in the Prussian lower house
in favor of establishing system called
the voting telegraph, an electric in
vention. Each member was to have
at his place handle to turn to right
or left as he wished to vote ives" or
mo" and this handle could be turned
only by the member to whom the seat
belonged each member being provided
with a special key. The time for TAX.
ing the votes of the lower house would,
according to this scheme, have occupied
less than two minutes.
There were no practical objections
made to the machine, says the LON
don Chronicle, but it was rejected,
partly because no pressing need exist.

POULTRY FEEDING BOX.
The One Here Described, According
to Its Designer, ls as Perfect
as Ii Can He Made.

Please find within a drawing of my
improved poultry feeding box, which
has many points of Importance. A
box of this kind is made very cheaply;
it is easy to keep clean, and at the
same time keeps the birds from getting
into and soiling the food. At the same
time each hen cannot push. away her
neighbor in eating meal. so that the
different ones can have fair share of
the hot mush at the morning meal. To
construct feed box of this kind, all
one needs is board ten or twelve
inches wide, one inch or more thick and
four feet long: six or seven plastering
laths and handful of wire shingle
nails, which are to be driven through
the top ends of the laths and clinched.

CHANGES IN OCEANS BED.
"eceht surveys show New Conditions
Near the Island of ST. Vincent,
West Indies

| The volcanic eruptions and othe,
disturbing causes have recently pro,
duced some material changes in the
bed OF the ocean off the coast of St
Vincent. These will necessitate a
careful resurvey to make navigation
safe in that ncighborhood, accord
ing to DR.. Jaggar, of Harvard uni
'ersity, who, as one of the party of
scientists sent to the West Indies to
investigate the recent volcanic erup-
tions, has 1nade special study of the
vicinity of the British island. Where
before the outbreak of La Sofriere
and Mont Pelee there existed solid
land is now deep water, as yet un.
sounded, which extends to the base
OF high cliffs, bare and vertical, for
merly considerable distance from
the shore.
1t is erroneous, DR.. Jaggar says, to
state that there has been no change
in soundings as result of the erup-
tions. Tremendous submarine dis
turbances occurred. he asserts, and
the breaking of the cables after the
first eruption of May was probably
due to landslides along the bed of the
ocean, the extent of which cannot
be determined. The cables in all
probability were snapped asunder
undert the weight of enormous masses
thrown upon them from the higher
portions of the oceans bed.

SCOTCH FARE LAUDED.
Oatmeal, scenes and Haggis Serve ms
PreventiNcs of Dentists and
Dyspepsia.

Defenders of the Scottish national
fare of oatmeal, scenes and haggis
have been few. To the ordinary bill
OF fare nearly every nation save the
Scotch has contributed something. but
Scotch dishes, except at distinctively
Caiedonian functions, are generally es-
chewed, says the New York Sun.
A Scotch phXsician has. however,
come forward recently with arguments
in favor of Scottish cooking, He says,
for instance, that dyspepsia and dem
lists are practically unknown in Scot
land outside of the large cities. in
which the national cooking of Scotland
is discarded for foreign dishes and for.
eign ways.
1t is fact that though distinguished
in the field of medicine, the Scotch as
dentists are little known, and whke
the details of cases of dyspepsia are
less easily procurable, it is certainly
not a national ailment in Scotland.
The Scotch show no partiality for pies
and pastry, and in the highlands they
are much out of doors-two reasons
which might be taken to account for
the absence of dyspepsia, apart from
the wholesomeness of their diet.
The Scotch are a hardy race. and in
one particular at least they have been
able in recent years to impress their
views upon the people of other coun-
tries. namely, in the moral general
use OF cereals. The popularity of
cereal food has vastly increased in the
United States in the lat ten years,
and If the advocates of scotch cooking.
or rather Of Scotch fare. have been
unable to get recognition for their
views at the dinner table, they have
been more fortunate at the breakfast
