WONDERFUL PIECE OF MECHANISM
An Operative Engine That Is the Size OF
a Dime

A number of tiny engines have been
constructed at different times, but
doubtless the smallest which has yet
been built which is actually operated
was recently completed by Mr.. A. q.
Root, of Danbury, Conn. 1t stands on
piece of metal just the size of an
American ten-cent piece, the mater
ials of which it is made being gold,
silver, brass aad steel.
The largest part of the engine
is less than half-iuch in length,
the flywheel being but 1854 of an inch
diameter, while the main shaft of steel
is but Is OF an inch in length. The
band of the hywheel is of gold. The
total weight of the engine without the
base is but three pennyweights, and
its total height is less than a half-iuch.
In making the various parts and put
ting them together it was necessary to
use magnifying glass on account OF
the delicacy of the work, yet the en-
CINE runs perfectly, compressed air
being used for power applied through a
tiny tube. AS long as the air supply
is maintained, it continues In motion.
The horse power developed is so small
that it cannot be estimated. ntiic

A thousand Dollars thrown Away,

Mr.. w. w. Baker, of Plainview,

trouble for over fifteen years. We
tried a number of doctors and spent
overa thousand dollars without any
relief. She was very low and lost all
hope, when friend suggested trying
Foley's Honey and Tar, which I did;
and thanks be to this great remedy it

don. OF these at least 65 were killed
and more than 300 MANNED or crippled
for life. The damage to property is
estimated at about $4,000.
The Jewish Chronicle says: 1--WE
charge the Russian government with
the responsibility for the Kishineff
massacre. If Europe does not on the
present occasion dissociate itself from
the leprous faint of this barbarian
power it writes it's humanity down as
a sham and it's civilization as organ
lied hypocrisy.
1.-THE massacre was organized and
abetted by Russian authorities. The
killing and pillaging were done under
cover of the troops and the police.
During the two days the massacre
lasted the governor did not leave his
house. Telegraphic communication
with St. Petersburg was stopped."
