New suu Clock.

A new q I'd highly ingenious form Of
sun G..-I ci;Nk vas recently exhibited at
the Roy. society's rooms in London.
1t Is th! invention OF Professor Albert
Crehore. The gnomen of the common
dial Is replaced by head fixed on n
wire, the shadow Of which Is cast on
the iL.erior of true cylindrical sur
face. On this surface figures of eight
curves are drawn, marking standard
noon for each day Of the year. The
cylindrical surface Is inclined 80 that
it's axis, upon which the head is fixed,
is parallel to that Of the earth. 1t
thus represents the latitude Of the
place. The shadow of the bead trav-
els across the cylindrical surface paral-
lei to or on one of the circles drawn
Thereof. These circles represent days
Of the month. Each hour described in
the circle is always of the same length,
and scale of minutes engraved on
the cylinder enables true mean time to
be read off directly to a few seconds.

Electricity From Cats.

We learn from an exchange that an
Indiana genius proposes to utilize cats
for the generation of electric current
for lighting. His purpose is to round
up the cats and drive them through a
chute, so that they will pass under
rotating brushes, which will abstract
the desired current. The invention
might be further improved by the, en-
ployment Of mice, so that the cats
could be drawn through the chute by
induction. Just how much feline
power Is required to light an incan-
descent lamp has yet to be ascer-
tained.-Scientific American:

that has been seen on the market for
a long time. He is feeding his COWS

ness causes suffering. Another point
this expert laid stress upon was trim
ming the wick so as to give thin
flame; a thick flame burns yellow,
thin one clear white. Trouble will
also result from dirty burner, giving
imperfect ventilation, or one twisted
or knocked out Of shape, which causes
the lamp to smoke Few of the minor
annoyances of life cause more dis
comfort than a dim or smoky lamp;
it is quite worth while to use some
thought in avoiding such troubld'.

Full deep breathing Of pure air Is
one of the best possible cures for bilious
attacks, indigestion, chronic dyspepsia
and, in fact, almost any weakness of
the bodily system.
To Cure Sore Thro9t-Take a lump
of resin as large as walnut, put it In
an old teapot, pour boiling water On
it, put the lid on, put the spout to your
mouth, and the steam will cure the in
fiammation.
Never toss a baby; such treatment is
injurious to the brain, and many an
attack of commissions is caused by it.
Gentle movement up and down is a diff
ferent thing, delights baby, and is
good for his digestion.
Four hours is the longest interval
during which children should so with
out food in the daytime, and some
thing, if 1t is only drink of milk and
a biscuit, should always be given them
the last thing before going to bed.
When poison has been accidentally
swallowed no emetic is better than
mustard. Mix three teaspoonfuls with
a cupful of warm water and swallow.
At once the stimulative action upon
the stomach causes that organ to re-

gradients with the rest. The emetic
of mustard leaves no i'll effect behind
it, but instead, a feeling of pleasant
warmth and stimulus, 1t is one of the
quickest Of all emetics and the most
harmless. -Good Literature
