INKS FOR FOUNTAIN PENS.
Something Suitable for Making Trac.

Somc1HaH0 Suitable tor Making lEac'

An opportunity for, inventors who
have studied the problem is afforded
by certain needs of draughtsmen-
There has been talk OF, devising spe-
cial kind of fountain pen for their
service. Perhaps one is really re-
quired but a correspondent of the
, American Machinist suggests that
what is most to be desired is an ink
cf the right kind for making tracings.
ficulty experienced by a tracer is in
keeping his pen Zone of the old-fash-
ioned kind) clean so as to insure a
free flow of ink and continuous black
line. A thick ink dries rapidIy-toc
rapidly in fact. 1aasmuch as foun.
tain for writing often clogs with thin
ink it would act worse with a thick
one. The writer in the American Ma
chinist is convinced therefore, that
the first great essential is prepare.
tion which is as dense as India ink
but slow drier Such an ink has
up to now baffled all inventors, and
seems likely to do so for a little
while longer, therefore the idea of a
fountain for tracers has to be aban-
doned, at least for little while.
The same need exists in regard to
indorsing ink for rubber stamps
which are sometimes used for putting
the address of the firm on the tracing.
With the ordinary indorsing ink the
stamp is only just perceptible on
white prints, and is only little bet
ter on blue ones. There are few
inks on the market which are guar
anteed to show on prints, but the ink
being so thick it very quickly dries,
c-ogging the stamp SO that it has to
be cleaned very often, thus wasting
the time saved by not having to re-
stamp the prints, whic:, operation is
required when ordinary indorsing ink
is used.
Thus it is self-evident that the ink
Is the item which should engage most
attention, unless special kind of
tracing cloth or printing paper could
be manufactured which would allow

ing athinner kind of ink.
There is little doubt that dotting
pens are a nuisance, and the writer
here quoted can only see one way in
which they could he improved upon,
and that is by arranging the pen so
that the circular nib would receive
the ink and that the thickness of the
dotted line made by it could be regu-
lated by screen similar to the one
used on the ordinary drawing pen.

PANHANDLERs IN CLOVER.

Since Police Commissioner Bingham abolished his "mendacity squad" there has been a noticeable increase in the army of panhandlers, yegmen and or dinary barn-yard beggars in New York and Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Chicago and Boston have lately been dumping their undesirables upon New York; not purposely, of course, but because the law is not so harsh there since the mendacity squad was abolished. While this squad was active it was never necessary for a business man who complained against some annoying beggar to appear in court and swear out a warrent if he had put his case in the hands of a squad officer, for these men are known to all the mag istrates and are trusted. To this fact was due a large number of convictions obtained. for many business men would hesitate to prosecute if 1t involved the inconvenience of appearing in court

This rate is in effect from February 15 to April 15.
 Within a fortnight there will have started for Los Angeles not fewer than 10000 persons. according to es- inmates of the three railroads entering thisacity The Santa Fe has ordered from forty to sixty cars to be placed during the first two weeks with more orders expected daily All these are in addition to the regular equipment which is able to handle many more persons than during the ordinary trdf- fife. The Salt Lake road has received advices by which it i sgOing to double it's regular complement of cars on it's three principal feeder lines from the east, thus providing facilities for handling daily 800 to 500 persons dur ing the first few days of traffic.

THE WIND OF SORROW.

The fire of love was burning yet so low That in the dark we scarce could see it's rays, And in the light of perfect placid days Nothing but smouldering embers dull dull and slow. Vainly, for loves delight, we sought to throw New pleasures on the pyre to make It blaze; In life's calm air and tranquil, pros porous ways We missed the radient heat of long ago. Then in the night, a night of sad
 alarms, Bitter with pain and black with fog of fecrs, That drove us trembling to each others s; arms, Across the gulf of darkness and salt tears, Into lifes calm the wind of sorrow
 came, And famed the fire of love to clearest flame.

RICHEST WAITER RETlREs.

"Old Charlie" Miller the richest waiter in the country, who has serv- ed patrons at the AstOr house for thirty years, retired the other day to live on the income which he will derive from $11O,O most of it saved from tips he judiciousIy invested. Miller was one of those men, rare in his class, 'who held close to his money. There are dozens of walters in Waldorf, Hol- land, etc, who make $500 a month, but only a few of them have the knack of saving their money. Miller worked for $50 a month. He has been putting in ten hours a day ever since 1876. With his tips he has bought the Brooklyn flats and is sending his nephew to col lege. There are two other rich wait CTS in the Astor house rotunda-Henry Briggs, at the oyster counter, and Mowen, at the roast beef counter. Briggs is said to be worth $60,000.

PERILs OF STAIR CLIMBING.
Walk Properly or Suffer From Grave
 Physical Defects.

The doctors listened patiently to the woman's description of her fiuttering heart with difficult breathing.
 q don't feel like myself anyway" she said. in conclusion. ''Why, I'm not even the same shape that l used to be. My shoulders arc stopped my back is crooked and my chest srnken."
 The doctor smiled. You climb stairs a great deal, don't you?" he asked.
 "Oh. yes. said the woman. We live on the fifth floor, and there is no eleva- tor"
 At that the doctor laid down the box of powders and said a few things about landlords and tenants and houses
 "Either the people who build five and six story flat houses must put in ele- Vators or the people who climb stairs must learn to walk properly" he said. "If one or the other of these reforms Is not instituted pretty soon there is go ing to be an alarming crop of bent, misshapen people in town. Already ] can stand on the corner and pick out the chronic stair climbers as they pass by. The occupation of mounting heav- onward by means of stairs leaves dis tinct and undisputable earmarks and while I do not wish to say anything un- complimentary to you, madam, l must admit that the physical infirmities you have just described are becoming ap- parent to the casual observer
 "Wen. what do --ou think of that! calculated the woman, half angerly, q didn't suppose the defects were really noticeable. I thought perhaps I just felt fattened and bent"
 "No." said the doctor mercilessly, You look that way. And no wonder Did you ever stop to think how many miles the average hat-dweller or top floor boarding house tenant trav- els vertically, each year?'
 "%C.' -id woman weakly, "I dldn'. never was much of a hand for figures"
 Well" said he, "yeu don't have to be an expert mathematician to figure tha; out. Counting in the stairs you climb in your own home and the homes of you' neighbors, and at the elevated and sub way stations you won't get off with an inch less than quarter of a mile day If you kept going on right straight ahead with no descent to terra firma, won can see for yourself where you would get to after a while
 However. climbing stairs. in itself IS not harmful exercise. II is the way you climb that hurts you. You have been told often everybody has been tn.d -h"w ta cary yourself when going up stairs.
