ELECTRIC ELEVATORS.
Design by Which All Driving Mechani
ism is Bolted to Under Side of Car.

A new and extremely simple design
of electric elevator has beeen recently
called to the attention of the public,
and the new system is said to combine
absolute safety, economy of power,
and economy Of space, says the Scien-
tific American. In the latter particu-
lar at least it represents. great adj
vance over the present types. All the
driving mechanism in this case is bolt
ed to the underside of the car plat
zontal drum revolved by an electric
motor. On the periphery of the drum
is fitted a spiral track, which engages
and travels in two series of rollers set
in the guide posts supporting the car.
The motor being. started, the drum
revolves, and the car ascends or de-
scends as desired. AS to it's economy
this system has the advantage en-
joyed by all Observation-Disclosures machin-
cry, in that it consumes power only
when in actual use, and another rec
OmmendatiOn is that all the machin-
cry being contained in the elevator
shaft much valuable floor space is
saved 1t is claimed to be absolutely
safe, and requires no safety devices Of
any character. The electric elevator
of this design is particularly valuable
where there is an intermittent demand
for it's use and where great speed is
not required.

Curious Accident to Water Pipe Dur

During the progress of the storm,

power. The fuses of the various lights
and fans were instantly burned out,
and simultaneously Herewith a tor
rent of water poured from the floor
of the building where the wires en-

water pipe supplying the various
radiators of the water-heating system
which, as is usual, had not been cut
off for the summer months, since it
Is not generally considered neces-
barry or even desirable to do so.
Careful inspection disclosed Z the
fact that the electric wiring was close
enough to the water circulation pipe
to permit electricity of high voltage
to jump to the fine ground connection
which the water pipe afforded, and
in doing so it burned hole fully

for Passing Discharges
Through Air for Bleaching Flour.

AS to the rationale of this process
from the agitator with a considerably
winter COLOR
With the largest size, about 80
sacks of flour can be treated per
hour. In the type of machine shown
in the illustration double-acting
pump draws air through a chamber in
which there is an electric arc. AS
the air flows through, the upper cleo
trode rises, grad ually frightening the
arc until it goes out, when the opera
ton is repeated. The bleaching &C.
ton is thus explained:
it is to be remarked that in this case
arc discharges are employed so that
probably compounds OF nitrogen and
oxygen are formed in the air and the
bleaching effect is due to these COM
pounds. Essentially different from
this method are those processes (pro-
posed by others) in which ozone is
used as bleaching agent and is pro-
duced by the silent electric discharge
through air. S. Letham claims that
the best results are obtained by
treating the air successfully first by
the silent electric discharge and then
by an arc discharge. Methods OF
this kind for whitening flour are re-
some extent in the middle west and
south, but no exact information is
available

VETERINARY HOSPITAL NEEDED.
A. and N. Already Has q Fine Museum,
but Wants a Place for Treating
Diseased Animals.

Since the beginning of winter
DR.. Mark Francis, veterinarian al
the A. and NJ. College, has success,
fully inoculated some fifty or sixty
head Of fine cattle for prominent
stock raisers in this state. The
purpose Of the treatment TO which
the animals have been subjected is
TO produce, in cattle imported from
the North, immunity from attacks
Of Texas, or tick, fever. The theory
on which DR.. Francis works is
comparatively simple, though il
took much work and experimental.
ton TO develop the theory and
prove its usefulness. II was found
that the fever was far less severe
in winter than in summer. II was
also discovered that the germs of
disease are always present in the
veins Of native Texas cattle, and
that the fever can be produced by
drawing the blood from the veins
Of native COW and injecting it in
10 the veins of the imported ami
NAL. 1t has been shown that the
disease when transmitted in this
way is lessNviolent than when pro.
duced by the tick, and that the
animal when il RECEIVERS is practi-
cally immune from future attacks.
In accordance with these estah-
lished facts DIR. Francis, during th
last eight or ten years, has been
engaged every winter in the work
Of minimizing fine breeding stock !
imported by Texas ranchmen for
the purpose o! improving their
herds. During this period he has
successfully treated about $500 |
head. A strict record has been
kept Of the animals thus treated
md the percentage ofdeaths among
hem traceable to Texas fever is a
little less than S per cent. The
Of deaths among cattle
from the North and not
20 treated is variously estimated at
rom go to 80 per cent. The 3, 500 /
.attle immunized by DR.. Francis
we're in themselves worth at least
ialf a million dollars, and through
heir offspring have added many
Millions TO the cattle interests Of
'exas.
Another matter of interest in
onnection with the department Of I

Is a collection OF animal parasites,

giving instruction in the diseases
