A CIRCULAR COLOSSUS.
Thirty Cars Required to Move a Wheel
to the West


From the New York Post
An enormous wheel is now in process of
construction at Paterson and by spring it
will be shipped to Michigan on a train of
thirty cars, to take it's place in the Calumet
and Hecla Company's works. The mills
where the copper ore is ground are so large
and the debris accumuiates SO rapidly that
it takes a small army of carts to carry it
away, and at great expense. 1t was there
fore decided to build a sandwich to do the
work.
The apparatus will be set up in the stamp
mill in such position that the buckets fas-
tened TO the wheel will scoop up the waste
as they revolve, and automatically dump
their contents into an elevated trough or
suice extending from above the wheel
where the water will wash the waste away
to long distance. IT is really an enormous
cogWheel, and is revolved by a smaller
cog, which fits into the rim of the big
wheel, on the rim Of which there are $40
teeth AS the teeth of the cogwheel must
fit exactly, the tooth-cutting will require
two or three months
In appearance the wheel, excepting for
the teeth, resembles huge bicycle wheel
The spokes are shaped like those of bicy-
cle but consist of steel rods two inches in
diameter and thirty-two feet long The
hubs are like those of a bicycle, and the
axle is twenty-seven feet long. thirty-two
inches in diameter and weighs A. 600
pounds. 1t was cast at the Krupp works
in Germany. The wheel itself is sixty-five
feet in diameter. and swinging upon the in
ner surface of the rim will be the buckets.
four and one-half feet long and three feet
wide, formed like dredging SCOOP There
will be 800 buckets on the wheel and it Is;
calculated that each revolution will carry

1t will make ten revolutions per minute and
Will require 1O horsepower to drive It..

The French Deputies.
From the London News

From the London News.
In the French chamber of deputies voting
by arising from the seats c'par assis ct
leve'') is replaced by "scrutin public" II the
result Of the first vote has been doubtful
or is challenged by single deputy. Scru-
tin public is also the method II twenty
deputies have previously signed a requisi
tion for 1t, and 1t Is obligatory in regard
to all bills concerning loans and taxation.
It is in fact, the method almost invariably
followed in any division OF Importance. and
Is carried out as follows:
The president requests the deputies to
take their seats. Each deputy has two
voting tickets on which his name Is writ
ten, one white, and one blue. the former
being YEA the latter Nay The ush-
ers. one Of whom is allotted to EACH sec
tor. of the chamber, then take around urns
into which each deputy drops his voting
ticket. When all the votes have thus beea
collected. the president declares the ballot
closed. The urns are taken to the tribune,
where the votes are counted by the secre-
taries and the result proclaimed by the
president.
If forty members request 1t, deputies must
advance to the tribune to deposit their
own voting tickets. The roll call is occa-
sionally adopted to insure greater accu-
racy.

Domestic Ice Machines.
From Cassier's Magazine. fsr

Periodically the question is asked why
there is nothing available in the, shape Of a
snail ice or refrigerating machine FOR do
mestic use. That such machine is in wide
demand and would meet with a ready sale
is generally admitted, So that TO many it
seemed all the more curious. no doubt, that
commercial enterprise did not, long ago UNI
dertake to solve the problem. The whole
question, however, may be answered by .he
statement that no better method of re-
frigerating has yet been found than the
use of ammonia or similar system. which
involves the use Of certain pFessures AMI
certain number of elements in the cycle.

densation. regardless of whether the Plant

dred tons. The handling of the refrigerat-
ing cycle and the safe manipulation of
pressure requires skill-in fact. skill some
what above the average, and which can
not be expected from ordinary domestics.
IL therefore seems that the facts as they
stand at present preclude the possibility
OF small domestic ice or refregiral!ng

system may be devised differing widely

THE 1NSULAR SERVICE.
Growth Of Sentiment in Porto Rico

Of native trust and confidence. 1t is true
that the first American troops to land In
Porto Rico were received with waving
branches. But as it became evident that
bread and games were not permanent fea-

must be paid and wages earned, the natG-

faith in the American nation and in it's in

to Porto Rico that have made 1t SO. We
must look for no sentimental outbursts. AS

Search for Cures.
rom the London Chronicle

From the London Chronicle.
Among the many enterprises stimulated
by the king the search for cancer cure is
by no means the least notable. The disease
has unquestionably increased In frequency
in late years, and no doubt Its sadly fatal
ravages among his own relatives prompted
the King. when Prince Of Wales. to appeal
to the medical men for a cure The two
royal colleges of physicians and surgeons
have just decided to combine their forces
and organize a system of investigation in
search of a remedy. At present the doc
tors knowledge OF cancer is mainly en-
piric, and he can treat only symptoms with
any confidence. 1t Is not often that care
fully devised official Investigations have
led to revolutions In medical science; the
great advances have usually been made
by individuals Of industry. imagination and
courage, such Jenner and lister and
Pasteur and Koch. But the Joint commit
tee. composed OF leading men from both
the royal colleges should be able to bring
together many dry bones Of experience
which some medical genius may yet make

This season sees a change. We will have

goods These are fine worsteds and are
of a dead black tone. Vicuna will be
used only in solid suits, while the new
diagonal will be used for coats designed
for wear with trousers of a different ma
terial. The coats are cut to fit the body
above the waist snugly. and the skirts
draDe from the waist in easy fitting folds
and fall to about the knee. The coat
never should be buttoned. The gray frock
for racing is the only frock buttoned, and
this is so because one must pass the field
glass straps over the shoulder The formal
frock coat may have a breast pocket or be
to the buttonholes with silk as usual The
trousers for next spring will be cut
straight and full, and will be made Of fine
worsteds or cheviots in gray and black
tones, which will appear in stripes of vary
ing proportions, some of them mere hair
lines, and others quite broad bars made
up Of a group Of hair lines.
