Meat Tenderer and seasoner.

Some beefsteak is SO tough that the
housekeeper prefers to subdue it with
the hammer before submitting 1t to
the teeth of faultfinding boarders, and
it is probable that even tender piece
of meat is improved if the fbers are
broken up before it is cooked. While
a number of machines have already
been introduced for doing this work it
is probable that the one here Illus
trated has one feature not common to
those already in use. 1t is the inten-
ton of the inventor, to have the meat
seasoned at the same time the 1bers
are crushed by the rollers of the ma
chine, thus incorporating the salt and
pepper with the meat more thoroughly
than can be done by hand. The ap-
paratus consists of a pair. Of toothed
rollers suspended in a: frame, with the
teeth of one roller entering depressions
in the opposite roller, to subject the

A Wonderful Electric Cannon.

A Norwegian scientist, Prof Birke-
land recently demonstrated with great
success the powers of his electro
magnetic cannon at the Royal Nor
wegian Academy, before ministers of
state, high officials and others.
By means of an electromagnetic
current the professor undertakes to
discharge, with 61a centimetre ex-
perimental gun, projectile weighing
10 Kilograms. The projectiles pene-
trated the target to depth of 40 CEN
timetres, but the professor says that
the efficiency of his gun at the pres
ent moment is such that, with a 80
centimetre gun. he could discharge a
projectile weighing 500 Kilograms at
a speed of 200 metres per second
without flame or explosion.
The special value Of his invention is
that it is capable of discharging pro-
jectiles with an explosive charge Of
such strength that an ordinary field
gun could not stand the shock. By
means of the electric current the vio-
lent shock is entirely dispensed with.

Proper Motions of Faint stars

Prof. Comstock has in hand an i'm
portant research on the proper mo-
tions of faint stars, thus increasing
our knowledge precisely in the field
where it will be the most useful. From
these motions, still too few in num-
ber, he has deduced a value of the
suns motion in space which he finds
to be in substantial agreement with
the values heretofore obtained from
the bright stars The mean parallax
of the stars of the 101s magnitude OBJ
served is about 0.005" and their dis
tance therefore. about 40,000,000 radii
of the earth's orbit. Stars of the elev-
enth and twelfth magnitudes are not
more distant than those Of the ninth
and tenth and the average linear We
locity with which these faint stars
move through space is of the same or,
der of magnitude as that of the bright
est stars and about 80 per cent greater
than the velocity of our own sun.

The Migration OF Salmon.

The Fishery Board of Scotland has
experimental upon the migration OF
salmon to determine il the fish return,
year after year. to the same river. A

quently freed. The last report of the
board recites that twenty-four salmon

in which they had been set free during
the preceding season; four were
caught in waters close to their birth
place, and only one in distant waters.

Picks Up the Tennis Balls.

When the older members of the
family seek amusement with the game
of table tennis, it generally falls to
the lot of the children to chase the
balls and pick them up off the floor,
but if there are no children and the
members of the party tend toward
obesity the game is robbed of its
sport and is apt to be postponed un-
til some more auspicious time. An
English inventor, having discovered
this state of affairs. has produced the
appliance which we here illustrate,
which will enable one to pick up the
balls, without any exertion, from un-
der furniture, in corners, against a
wall or in any other awkward posi-
ton. This device is formed of a wire
cage and long wooden handle, the
former being made from a single spir-
al spring. The space between the
coils is somewhat less than the diam
eter Of the balls, but on pressing the
cage over the ball the spring will open
wide enough to admit the spherical
body within the cage. There is suf-
ficient space in the receptacle for the
storage of number of balls, and the
act of picking up another ball when
one or more are in the cage does not
affect those inside. To discharge the
balls from the holder the ends Of the

and hammer-operating mechanism, so
that not only may the type wheel be
brought to its proper position, but the
carriage and impression hammer are
caused to act through electrical means.
This, of course, means that the opera
tor has only to depress the keys far
enough to close the circuit, when the
electric current will perform the re-
mainder of the work much more rapid
ly than the hand could accomplish it..
1t is but simple matter to add a
line spacing and carriage return motor,

Cars Novel Experience.

The Gar of Russia had new ex
perience the other day which proved
to him that there is such a thing as
national spirit among the common
people of Russia. AS he drove through
the streets of St Petersburg the
crowds cheered him to the echo and
it is said that the sad-faced autocrat
positively beamed with pleasure over
the evidence of popular approval OF
him. The cordial outburst was un-
doubtedly due to the recent ukase an
nouncing forthcoming reforms.

III there is any truth IN telling Of re-

are 10 british as to be beyond credence.
That such an affair should have taken
place In the confines Of this State few will
be willing to admit until the facts are
proven beyond doubt. The affair took
place il the little town Of Bloomington,

this. Three boys, all Of an age when they
should have known better, took the fourth
boy, who was younger than themselves
aud new arrival in town, and subjected
him to series of fortunes that equalled
the tortures Of the aborigines. First they
held him over fire, then threw him to the
