RECENT INVENTIONS.

A new and ingenious pocket cal
culator, automatic In its action, has
been designed by q German inventor.
The device comprises a small case
about six inches in length made of
steel and aluminium. There is q key
board of nine figures corresponding to
the numerals, and it is additionally
provided with a small spring for the
supply of the tens and hundreds.
There is also q small dial, and by
pressing the requisite keys the total
amount is recorded upon the dial.
The latest Improvement in the way
of a screwdriver provides for q mon
key-wrench attachment for use when
powerful pressure must be brought to
bear where it is desired to remove
screws which have become securely
imbedded in their places by means Of
rust or other reasons This new i'm
piement is made with a square shank
OF rather stout proportions, and this
enables the workman to make use of
q monkey-wrench in conjunction with
the ScreWdrlyer, Il thus tHe most
firmly imbedded screw may be easily
dislodged.
Richard Strut, a son Of Lord Ray
leigh, has invented a clock which, he
says, will run for 1000 years. The
motive power is a small piece of gold
leaf, which Is electrified by means of
a very small quantity of radium salt.
The gold leaf bends away from the
metal substance and keeps moving
under this influence until 1t touches
the side of the containing vessel. At
the moment of contact it loses its cleo
trlcal charge and then springs back
and is again electrified, and the process
Is repeated. 1t is thought that a thor
oughly reliable clock could be made
with the use of radium salt for $1,000.

cnce.
though his hand does not show in the
work, has for its object the immediate
cessation Of all hostilitles in Man
churia,
1t is taken for granted that the first
step to he taken by the peace pleni-
potentiaries Of Russia and Japan when
they meet here, will be the declaration
OF a formal armistiue. The present in
dicauops are, however, that before this
step is taken the Japanese troops will
have forced another bloody battle, I'M
less some move is made to call off
Field Marshal Oyama and his dogs Of
war.
The plan is to draw up a peace
protocol at once. The document will
probably be framed in Washington,
and signed by the representatives Of
Russia and Japan in that city, and will
be binding only until the peace con-
eress is assembled and has had time
to declare a formal armistice,
Some fear is expressed here that
Japan can not be induced to sign the
protocol, Gen. Cyama is now said to
hold q strong strategic position, and
to be able to administer a crushing de-
feat to Gen. Lineyitch and possibly
cause him to surrender. The teInpta-
ton 10 add one more to their series of
brilliant victories Is said to be strong
with the japanese.
No difficulty is apprehended in get
ting Russia to agree to the protocol,
though il is to be expected that the
government Will protest that it would
prefer to give Lineytich an opportunity
to thrash 0yama, 1t is believed, how
ever, that the czar understands the
hopelessness Of the situation Of his
troops, and will not insist on another
battle,
While the official announcements are
not 10 be expected for several days yet,
1t il practically certain that the per-
sonnel Of japan's committee Of pieni-
potentiaries will be the Marquis Ito,
Baron Komura, and if a third is named,
Marshal Yamagata. Russia's repre-
sentatiyes will certainly be Baron
Rosen and NJ. Nelidorff, with several
prominent statesmen mentioned for the
third position.

Sugar Beets in Ireland.

The department of English agricul-
ture, in reply to an inquiry by a Clon-
mel correspondent, states that Irish
farmers can not profitably undertake
the growing Of sugar beets, and that
the circumstances do not warrant the
starting of the industry in Ireland
with any prospect of profit. 1t points
out that sugar factory would require
a minimum production of 10000 tons
per year. This would require $500
acres to be devoted to the crop year
ly, and because of the necessity for q
four years rotation of crops 10000
acres in all would be necessary. The
reply points out to the farmers that
the cost of tillage would be heavy. as
very deep plowing or sub-soiling must
be employed, while much more hard
labor is required for sugar beets than
for other root crops In the depart
ment's opinion a yield OF 15 tons OF
beets per acre, at even as high n price
as $4.SS a ton, would be less proflta-
Bile to the farmer than the cultivation
of turnips or mangolds.-S. s. Kna-
benshue, consul, Belfast, Ireland.
