EInde curIous lnatrument.

A rare and curious find has been
made in Fifeshire, scotland. William
Greenhowe, crofter, strabathie, while
walking along the shore about three
miles north Of Balgownie Links, re.
Gently, picked Up small oblong
basket which had been thrown up by
the sen. On examining It he found
It was bound with two cords, each OF
which was sealed, the seal having the
word France stamped on it and sew
eraI words which could not be de-
ciphered He conveyed the basket to
his home. and, on breaking the seals
and opening Il, found II was lined In
side with a hannel-lilke material, while
cork box, about nine inches square,
was also disclosed On opening tho
box, Mr.. Grcenhowe discovered that
an instrument Of some sort had been
thus carefully encased, but Its use he
was unable to determine. The lnstru
ment consists of perforated plate
of aluminium, while affixed to the plate
is small cylinder, also perforated
containing several tiny wheels like the
works of a clock, and above the cylin
der are a number OF springs and small
cross levers. The instrument, by its
construction. gives the idea Of an In.
vention for registering temperature
in water. The basket has the appear
ance of having been in the water for
considerable time, the salt water
having apparently percolated through
to the instrument

MILWAUKEE, ROAD TO USE
NEW STYLE OF MAIL CRANE

The Chicago. Milwaukee d St. Paul

contract with l.. w. Barker. of Gin

TO install upon the new Kansas City

progress of manufacture and num-
Der have already been delivered.
Mr.. Bankers patent mail crane has
many advantages over the clumsy. inn
perfect cranes which are at present
used by the railroad systems in this
section of the country. In the first
place. they are constructed entirely of
iron. and thus are not subject to de-
cay as are the present wooden and
wood and iron cranes used by many
of the roads. They insure certainty
of delivery of the mail sacks to pass
ing trains. most important provis-
ion. and which is lacking i'm the other
cranes, by the use of which the mail
sacks are often torn and sometimes
the cranes themselves injured. An
other important advantage of the new
crane for the railroad companies is
its simplicity of construction. 1t costs
much less than the cranes now being
used. which. when the number of
cranes used by a road is considered
means large saving to the company.
Also. the iron crane is never out of re-
pair. aud will last for many years.

old-fashioned wooden. crane.
