ing, consisting of the nest proper and
a series of pockets or receptacles,
with an automatic mechanism which
presents each of the pockets in turn
beneath the opening in the bottom of
the nest to receive the newly laid eggs.
ilnterposed in the passage through
which the egg falls on the journey to
its pocket is trigger, which releases
the rotary frame carrying the pockets
SO that as soon as the egg reaches the
bottom Of it's receptacle an empty
pocket replaces it beneath the dis
charge opening Of the nest. In addi-
ton to preventing the hens from
smashing or eating their eggs, this ar
rangement will afford a protection
against rats and other animals which
have been known to appropriate the
eggs to their own use. AS the pockets
and operating mechanism of this nest
are concealed from view by a wood
or metal casing, there is nothing to
indicate to the hen that the nest diff
fers from the ordinary kind.

This machine consists of number of
cars to carry the rails and ties, with a
derrick on the forward car adapted
to haul the material over rollers on
the sides of the cars, and place it in
proper position on the roadbed. With
this apparatus in use there is no need
of large gangs of laborers to carry
the rails and ties, as the derrick
handles them from the time they leave
the cars until they are ready for the
spikes, and a comparatively small
number of men can perform all the
manual labor that is required.

Coal Production in the South.

that one has heard much of the devel-.
opment Of coal mines. in Tennessee.
yet the production there has more
than doubled in the past decade. Ar
kansas has increased her tonnage
from an output of 100000 tons in 1892
to 2,125,73O tons in 1902, and it is
said that the production there is like
ly to be greatly increased still, as
some prominent Pennsylvania men are
making large Investments there. The
output of coal in Indian Territory in.
1890 was 750,832 tons, while in 1901
the output had grown to 2,4OO,94 tons.
The mines Of Texas and other South
ern states have likewise shown re-
markable development, which, If kept
up, must prove a great source of
wealth and profit to the South. .I,.

Latest Things in Hens Nests,

When asked the best remedy for
preventing hens from eating their
eggs, an old poultry fancier is said to
have remarked, Cut their heads off. -
But, as this would mean cutting off
the supply Of eggs as well, a Calfor-
MAN has invented what he believes to
be a better remedy for this form of
cannibalism, if such it may be called.

Steel Hardened by ELECTRICITY.

The latest method of hardening the
face Of armor plate is by heating the
face with electrical currents by means
of large carbon anodes instead of ap-
plying the heat in furnace. It has
been found that during the electrical
treatment portion of the carbon Of
the anodes enters into the COMPOST
ton Of the steer, producing great hard
ness of that metal. The depth to
which the hardening proceeds is regu.
lated by the length Of time during
which the treatment is applied. It Is
