FoRETELLs ACTION OF TIDES.
Wonderful Machine Used by United
States Coast Survey.

9l61~o SN&1t 4~t
A machine that prophesies is an
engine in use by the coast survey at
Washington, d. c.. which can and does
predict the time of high and low tide
for a given locality, and makes these
predictions for year in advance. Its
performance Is not 4 tilted to a year.
but that is the maximum Of work it is
usually called upon to do It Is com
pact and delicate to degree not easy
TO appreciate. To make these tidal
predictions, which are issued IN the
form OF a fat book Of tables every
year by the survey. the machine Is
first set, then operated by hand. As
may be surmised, the setting Of the
machine is the point at which accurate
mechanism and the human brain join
forces. There are nineteen factors to
be determined in making tidal pre-
dictions. Each factor alters all the
rest. Henca the machine IS SO con-
structed that an alteration Of one fac
tor has its effect on the others. How
this is done is understood in a meas
ure by noting that there is a getting
of nineteen dials, with pointers. Each
pointer is on a pulley mounted eccen-
trically on its shaft. and over this
pulley passes a chain which goes from
one to another. Obviously If the &C.
cerrieity of one pulley is altered it
has its proportionate effect on all the
rest. The engine was invented by
Prof. William Ferrell. who presented
it to the government without charge
for his idea. 1t cost originally but
$500 and does the work of forty ex-
pert cOmputers.

aarnyard Manure Ia wlntsr.

The only treatment OF barn
yard manure in winter should be
to stack 1t in piles. but do
not allow these piles to become
large enough to heat. This is especial
" necessary in the case Of horse ma
nure, which Is sometimes entirely de-
stroyed by combustion in the center
of the plies. il the piles are allowed TO
become too large and are not forked
over occasionally. We use a great
deal Of bedding, and this makes UP
large part OF the manure. This bed
ding soon disintegrates and becomes
a good source Of humus. We do not
do any composing. as that word is
generally understood do not haul
out my manure during the winter
months every day or so. but allow it
to accumulate and haul It out in the
spring. II Is then in very good shane
and condition to be used in the ma
nure spreader.-Fred A. Richardson
