Thirty-two years ago the world saw
the first fruits of international arbi-
tration, in the award Of the high COM
mission which settled the so-called
Alabama claims of the United States
against England.
The world has made a strong ad
vance toward the settlement of inter-
national disputes by the judicial meth
DDS of arbitration since the days of
the Alabama award.
Differences that before then plunged
nations into war are now considered
as matter of course, fit subjects for
the deliberative methods of settlement
embraced by arbitration.
The high court which settled the
Alabama claims was the first of it's
kind. The parties to the disputed
claims had long been subject to in
tensely bitter feelings of resentment
against each other. The United
States charged to England practically
all the damage done her shipping by
confederate ships in the civil war,
"AAAC HAS1cIAu 1CluoCu, uuC1I I111o COu1"
mission sat, to recognize the right of
any nation to question her methods of
maintaining her proclaimed neutral
ity.
Long and delicate diplomatic nego-
tiations were necessary to pave the
way, step by step, for the formation
OF the court which was to settle these
claims.
Even after the sessions began it
appeared for time as if they would
come to an abrupt and friutless end
ing.
After months of deliberation on the
part of the arbitrators settlement
was reached, however, in which the
principal of international arbitration
was imperishably perpetuated, while
the United States government re-
ceived in settlement Of it's claims the
substantial sum of $15,500,O0O.

Measurement Of Dew.

The measurement of dew has always
been difficult because of the fact that
no method heretofore has given exact
results. In Das. Wetter, M. Ferb de-
scribes a new sort of drosometer,
which has given satisfactory results,
and which is composed of piece of
paper which has been put through a
special preparation and dipped in a
chemical solution. This paper is ex-
posed in box placed during the night
on the ground, the quantity of dew be-
ing indicated by the discoloration of
the paper. A scale of tints is deter.
mined experimentally, which is used
for the purpose of comparison, there
being further used three sorts of pa
per, the first for small quantities of
dew, the second for large quantities,
and the third for very heavy dews

"Whosoever shall snlite thee on thy

Prof. Rontqen Is Modest.

One of the least of self-advertised
of great men is Prof. Rontgen, who
discovered the marvellous rays which
now bear his name. The professor
has never been interviewed, never
been banqueted, and he has even re-
fused immense sums of money offer
ed him by. American publishers for a
book on what he himself modestly
styled "a new kind of ray" Though
go, he carries his years gallantly and
looks more like man who has led
a healthy outdoor life than one who
has spent the whole of his manhood
in investigating strange physical prob.

NEW USE FOR THE CAMERA.
Fitting Of Clothes by Tai|ors Done
With Aid of Pictures,

With Aid Of Pictures.
A new method of measuring for tail
ors has been patented in Paris, ac-
cording to the st. James Gazette. The
person to be measured is placed be-
fore camera, and between them is
introduced a network that is photo,
graphed at the same time and serves
as standard. Certain artifices are
necessary to- obtain complete result;
thus, the armpits, etc., must be indi-
Gated by objects visible from without;
and, finally, several views must be
taken from various standpoints. The
subject is also fitted with a sort of
harness which indicates points of
comparison. These points may, how
ever, be marked directly on the per-
son instead. The relative positions
of the camera, the network and the
subject are carefully adjusted so that
the subject appears always on the
same scale, and then the photograph
is taken from the various necessary
standpoints.

Diaqram Of the Pump,

When plunger box B is down as shown
IN the Illustration. the water enters as
box ascends, the lever pushes the
plungerr. valve in closing the same and
preventing the escape of the water
valve into the pipe D. AS the pipe de-
sscends. a vacuum is created in the sue
ton valve above, thus causing a contin-
uOuS 11OW OF water upward whether the
pipe and plunser box are going up or
down. The movable section of the pipe
above the suction valve is operated in a
ball and socket joint. thus giving free
movement at all times when the pipe
approaches or recedes from the central
upright standard. The main pipe E can
be extended to any height desired.

can he put, such as raising water from

Russians Drop Alexander.

It has been tradition since the
time of Nicholas l. to name the czare-
witches alternately Alexander and
Nicholas. But the murder of Alexan-
der II. caused his name to be con-
sidered unlucky, SO there will be no
more Alexanders on the Russian
throne, as there will be no more Pauls
or Peters. The czarevitch was there
fore named Alexis, after the father of
Peter the Great. He was a powerful
and successful ruler

HELPS DISTINGUISHED Husband.

The wife of Camille Flammarion,
the astronomer, never allows anyone
to cut her husbands hair but herself,
and she uses the shorn locks for pill
lows. Her home in Paris is full of
pillows stuffed with such clippings.
Telescopes, heliometers, sextants, as
trolabes and other astronomical in
struments are scattered all about
among them. The Flammarions were
married thirty years ago, taking their
bridal tour in a balloon. In all the
time since then the wife has been
veritable helpmeet to her husband.
She not only makes observations and
calculations, but measures the dis
tances Of stars for him. At the OBJ
servatory of Juvisy, which she. helped
him establish, she made studies of the
planet Mars. H.- :: = -

Claims a Perfect Vacuum.

Prof. Elmer Gates of Chevy Chase,

feet vacuum by introducing molten
glass of hard glass and then heat
ing the tube for thirty hours with a
suction piston in the mouth of the
tube. When this piston is withdrawn
the molten-glass automatically rises

left is claimed to be perfect vacuum.
Such a tube has been used in X-ray
experiments with remarkable results.

S. G. C.---Please give a plan of a
barn with silo suitable for three
horses and fifteen COWS. I would like
the stable to have a cement floor, and

twelve-foot driveway, then a twenty
foot bent. In order to have room for

this will give plenty of room on the
thrash floor. The stairway to the

All foundations are better If they
are drained, unless in sandy or gravel
ly soil. In, a stony subsoil a good
foundation may be made by excavating
deep enough so that the walls will be
below frost. If a drain is put in do
not put it under the wall; the proper
place is just outside the wall, the
top of tile coming level with the bot
tom Of the wall; this will carry off all
the water and not allow it to stand
under wall.

has been working on for years, and
which promises to revolutionize GER
tain features of mining and irrigating

that increases the outflow of water
by four times that of the ordinary

Some of the great advantages

be made up in any size; that it works
on central pivot and is at all times
on an even balance regardless of the
depth OF the well or the volume of
water being raised. There is no lost
motion. 1t throws just as much water
when the lever is going up as it does
when it is going down. It is able to
raise water at great height without
much additional power, for the reason
that it both pushes and pulls at the

If you would drain your cellar you
would have a better job than by try
ing to keep the water out with cement,
for if the water comes in to the depth
of two feet it will be impossible to
keep the cellar dry. If you laid the
cellar bottom with concrete Portland
cement should be used and should be
not less than four inches thick, the
first three inches to be composed of
one Of cement to nine of gravel, and
the top inch one of cement to two of
screened gravel. Gravel is as good
as broken stones. If the rock is not
too far below the surface of the
ground and the level of water from
the rock does not come above cellar
bottom, a we'll can be drilled and the
cellar drained into it. This would be
less expensive than digging a long
drain.
