The Life of Machinery.

Although the rapid Improvement in
electrical devices makes apparatus ap-
rarently out Of date in a very short
time, good deal of electrical ma
chinery is still in use and giving a
good account of itself after prolonged
years of operation. Some of the early
Edison dynamos are still doing good
work, and the material of the origi-
nal SiemensHalske electrical road is
still used for a trolley line near Chill
Ion, Switzerland, though it was de-
vised twenty-three years ago.
On the other hand, a great deal Of
old machinery has been worked over.
The managers of a steel plant at
Hamilton, Ontario, say that they have
worked over into steel the iron of the
original Niagara suspension bridge,
that of the Victoria bridge at Mon
treal, the hull of the once-famous At
lantic steamship City of Rome, and
the framework of the Great Eastern.

Foundation for Machinery.

Making the foundations for ma
minery elastic so as to minimize or
prevent the vibration present when it
is operated is a subject which has at
tracted considerable attention of late.
A felt is now being used in many
parts of Germany for this purpose.
This felt comes in sheets of ranging
nicknesses-from rs inch to ~
inches and is impregnated with min.
eral Eat to make it moisture proof. 1t
was intended for insertion beneath
rails, Orders and machine beds. but
it's use has been extended to steam
hammers, railway cars, stationary en-
gines, and it has even found a place
on shipboard to separate the machine
ry from the decks and bulkheads.

Soil SURVEYS,

IL is now developing that we should
nave a practical soil survey Of every
state in the union, for every state in
the union is engaged in the production
0. cereals. fruits and vegetables, as
Wen as of grasses. The surveys in
most of the states have been of the
geological order 1t was necessary
that these surveys should be first
made; for they are very valuable In
indicating the composition of soil. and
the outlines of the various formations
are indicative of areas that will give
largely the same results when put
under the pillow. The practical SUR
rey is however what we want This
kind OF a survey is being made in nl-
nois, where, in addition to the geo
logical survey, a test Is being made OF
the ability of the soils to produce GER
tain crops. The state OF Illinois has
appropriated large sum of money
for the carrying on of this work, but
IL is safe to say that the money Is
coming back to the state several
times over. The examinations of the
soil in the southern part of the state
are bound to work a revolution in the
farming of all that section. The dis
covery of the acid condition of the
soil and the ease by which 1t may
be cured Is worth many millions OF
dollars to Illinois farmers and to the
men that will yet invest their money
In those lands. It is also almost GER
tain that as result of this work
there will be a steady shifting Of the
population toward the southern part
OF the state, where the winters are
mild and the climate good. The same
kind of practical soil survey should
exist In every state. 1t takes money
to carry on work Of this kind: and
III the other states do not take hold
Of the matter in earnest they will
find their own interests being injured
by the growing Importance of Illinois
agriculture. The work that is being
done in Illinois Is not an index OF
what may be the condition in other
states, and the state legislature that
hopes to profit enough by the work in
Illinois to make 1t unnecessary for II
to appropriate money will find that it
has failed to make paying invest
ment.

Cross Section of Refrigerator


floor and cylinder should be some.
what as shown in the drawing. Any
ordinary refrigerator with space over.
head can be made over according to
this plan. The top of the cylinder
should be two feet or more above the
ceiling of the refrigerator, in order to
create a current of the warmer air
from the top of the refrigerator up
through the space between cylinder
and wall, as shown by the arrows,
and down through the space sur
rounding the cylinder, thence out to
the refrigerator at the floor line. A
fairly good circulation can be OBJ.
tainef by this means, of cold, dry air.
The ice for the cylinders should be
broken up into pieces varying in size
from hall a pound down to powder,
and with each shovelful of ice put
into the cylinder sprinkling of salt
should be added. A number of cylin.
ders in row along the side of the
wall would be necessary, the number
depending upon the size Of the re-
frigerator and the temperature re-
quired. This cannot be specified
here. Outside of the row of cylinders
thin partition is constructed six
inches below the ceiling of the re.
frigerator. These are shown in the
plan Below the row of cylinders a
trough sloping in one direction
should be placed for the purpose of
carrying off the meltage. This trough
may connect with an iron pipe lead
ing through the ontside wall An
ordinary trap in this pipe, constructed
as a U-shaped bend, would prevent
the air from the outside from enter.

A UNIQUE Power Plant location


Cost of water-power development
aepends in large measure, on the To-
cation of the electric station that is
TO be operated. The form of such
station, its cost, and the type of gene
rating apparatus to be employed are
much influenced by the site selected.
Fhis site may be exactly at, or far
removed from, the point where the
water used is diverted from its nat
ural course.
A unique example of a location of
the former kind is to be found near
Burlington, VT, where the electric
power house itself forms the dam, be-
ing built entirely across the natural
bed of one arm of the WinoosH river
at point where an island divides the
stream. The river at this point has
cut it's way down through sC!!d rock,
leaving perpendicular walls on either
side. Up from the ledge that forms
the bed of the stream, and into the
rocky walls, the power station, about
10 feet long, is built. The upstream
wall of this station is built after the
fashion of dam. and is reinforced by
the downstream wall, and the water
flows directly through the power sta
tion by way of the water wheels A
construction of this sort is all that
could be attained in the way of econo-
my. there being neither canal nor long
penstocks, and only one wall of the
power-house apart from the dam. On
the; other hand, the location of sta
ton directly across the bed of river
in this way makes it impossible to
protect the machinery if the dam.
should ever give way. Again the Pc
culiar natural conditions favorable
to such a construction are seldom
found.

Good for Young Artists.

An invention by means of which
perfect drawings in perspective can
be made by an operator ignorant of
drawing is the result of the WORK of a
Swiss inventor. A telescope with
crossed hair-lines is connected by
means of levers OF the pantograph
Principle with a crayon holder. The
machine having been turned in Civ
en- direction, the paper is clamped 10
position and the operator, by so NOV
ing the telescope that the crossed
hairs follow the outline of natural OBJ
jects in the field of view, makes the
crayon draw a true and correct per.
spective outline upon the paper.

WHICH al IuuSly
These combs, II not too badly mold
ed, can be used again by the bees, as
they will clean them up just as good
as new. If they are in very bad con-
dition | would advise rendering them
into wax and using full sheets OF
foundation in their place. The bees
will clean up combs that are in quite
bad condition from mold. Care should
be exercised in giving them to the
bees, especially young swarms, as
they are likely to leave such combs.
I always hive the swarm on single
frame of clean comb or foundation.
and give the bees the balance of their
combs just at nightfall, and by morn
ing they are cleaned and the bees
prepared to accept them. You can
give an old colony two or three dirty
combs at any time, and if they have
bees to cover them they will at once
clean them without difficulty. BY fol-
lowing either plan you can get rid of
your old combs without danger Of
losing bees by absconding.

You should have no difficulty at sn
in getting rid of the three weeds you
mention, for they are all large, grow
ing conspicuous biennials, or two
year plants, and if hoed up the first
year, or kept from seeding the second
year you should have no trouble In
getting rid of them. The most diff
cult of the three is the carraway, be-
cause it is more easily overlooked and
is more apt to grow among grass.
Close moving, however, for couple
of years should eradicate it entirely
and without trouble. .s-
