FILLED WITH TACKS.
A Hammer which the Carpet Layer
Should Prize.

Hammer which the Carpet Layer
Should Prize.
We illustrate herewith a very clever
invention in the nature Of a magazine
tack hammer, as described in. the Sci
entific American. The hammer carries
a number of tacks in the hollow handle
portion, and by simple feeding de-
vice the tacks are delivered singly, as
required, to the hammer head, which is
magnetiZed and thus holds the tacks In
position for driving.
The magazine consists of channel
or raceway OK, which supports the
heads Of the lacks, as shown. The
hammer head is pivoted in the forked
end of the handle and Is held in posi-
ton for hammering by spring within
the handle, which at the opposite end
is attached to a snap latch (S). The lat
ter serves to close the rear end of the
raceway, while an escapement device
Is provided at its forward end.
A push rod On is attached at one end
to the hammer head, and the other end
projects through the upper face Of the

use oftener than at present obtains.
Just at the moraent a Los Angeles in
ventOr is to the fore with modiflca-
ton Of this principle applied to cabinet
city directories.
The names and addresses are ar
ranged in alphabetical order, as is usu-
al, and are mrunted on a directory
strip wound upon rollers. Means are
provided for the rapid winding and un-
winding Of this scroll by means Of a
crank handle and suitable gearing. The
rapid movement Of the strip Is effected,
a necessary feature to insure quick
reference. An index guide is mounted
on separate rollers, W hich do not travel
so rapidly and which enable the opera
tor to reach the desired section Of the
index conveniently. OF course it is ap-
parent that such device would be
very cumbersome if applied to the d.
rectory Of large city, and consequent
ly it is better adaptsd to small towns
and communities.
A supplementary directory strip is
provided for the addition of names so
as to keep the list fully up to date. The
entire top of the case Is made transpar
ent, so that large number of names
are visible at one time, and a movable
guide is provided 20 permit of close
scanning Of successive columns.

handle. By pushing this rod forward
with the thumb the hammer head will
be swung on its pivots and the mag
netized or forked end will thus be
brought into engagement with the es-
capement device, as illustrated in one
Of our views. This operates the escape
ment which releases one Of the tacks,
and the latter thereupon adheres to the
hammer head By magnetic attraction,
so that Oh release Of the push rod the
hammer head will swing back to nor
NAL position, carrying the tack with it.
When the hammer is not in use an
armature or keeper is placed across
the poles of the hammer head to con-
serve the magnetism. The tack maya
zine is loaded by means Of simple de-
vice, which quickly and readily lines
up the tacks in a channel, whence they
are poured directly into the raceway

EleCtriCitY For the Farm.

The Italian Electrical society Of Tu-
rim has invented device for applying
electric power to plows and other farm
machinery. The device consists of two
power cars which are stationed at each
side of the field and between which
are stretched cables attached to the
pillow. The electric current is taken
from a trolley line, a current Of about
500 volts being needed. Each car COM
municates twenty five horsepower,
which can be increased to forty horse
power. The plow is pulled by cables
from one side Of the field to the other,
and when it reaches the end Of the fur
row it stops automatically, the cur
rent being cut off. 1t can b. run back
ward or forward with ease. One man
manages the pillow, and each car is op-
Grated by one man.

swimming Baths In Munich Have
Real Ocean Waves.
In order to enjoy the pleasure of
breasting the plugging waves it will
soon no longer be pecessary to under
take an expensive holiday to the sea-
side. Given swimming bath Of the
ordinary size, real waves can be made
to order, so that the enthusiastic swim
mer can get bis sta bath without fac
ing the terrors OF sharpened pebbles or
facing the winter cold Of the seashore
Herr Hofrat Hoeglauer, German
inventor, has fitted up such bath in
the German baths, Munich. After nu-
merous experiments most satisfac-
tory result has been obtained. The
trials have been made so far in tenn
porary baths forty-fire yards long by
six wide, the deepest end being six feet
and tapering gradually like a natural
beach.
The wavemaker is situated at the
deep end and consists of a large,
wedge shaped Instrument, worked by
an electric meter The waves rise to
a considerable height, which in great
er basin and WITH more powerful ma
chinery can be increased at will.
About eighteen waves come rolling
along per minute, and now many a

Should the recent experiment of a
surgeon in the Charity hospital at New
Orleans prove az successful as it now
seems likely the hen will find place
in the world even more highly honored
than her present position, for the egg
bids fair to supplant the old fashioned
skin grating process in cases Of burns
or scalds. This New Orleans surgeon
has used the Membrane which separat.
ed the contents of an egg from the
shell and fin,1s that it adheres to
wounded arm and proceeds to form the
basis of a nav skin. His method is
very simple. The wound is washed
with the salt solution generally used
in such cases. tie membrane from the
egg is placed on the wound and band
aged to hold it drmly. Within few
days the wound begins to heal, and the
new skin grows out from the spots
where the egg membrane was planted.

Usalite May he Cut Like Wood. Yet
1t IL Fireproof.
Have you ever heard Of uralite? Prob
ably not, for 1t Is a new invention. Yet
it Is well worthy of notice, since it is
superior to anything Of the kind that
has yet been produced.
It is the invention Of Russian artil-
lery officer and chemist named Imsche-
netzky, and its claim to distinction lies
in the fact that it is absolutely fire
proof.
Uralite is composed of asbestus fiber,
with proper proportion of silicate, BIZ
carbonate of soda and chalk, and it is
supplied in various finishes and colors.
according to the purpose for which it is
intended.
In a soft form sheet Of uralite is
like an asbestus board When hard it
resembles finely sawed stone and has a
metallic ring.
Besides beinga nonconductOr Of heat
and electricity, it is practically water
proof, and may be made entirely so by
paint, and is not affected either by at
mOspheric influences or by the acids
contained in smoke in large towns,
which rapidly destroy galvanized iron
Moreover, it can be cut by the usual
carpenters or woodworkers' tools; 1t
can be veneered to form paneling for
walls or partitions; it can be painted,
grained, polished and glued together
like wood; it does not split when nail
is driven through it.; it Is not affected
when exposed to moisture or great
changes Of temperature, and it can be
given any desired color either during
the process Of manufacture or after
