Get a common iron or brass bolt
about one-fourth of an inch in diam
eter, and about two and one-half
inches long, with as fine a thread as
possible, and the thread cut to within
a short distance of the head of the
bolt. A bolt with a cut in the head
for a screw-driver should be used.
Clamp together two blocks of wood
with square corners about one inch
wide, three-fourths of an inch thick,
and two and one-half inches long,
with their narrower faces in contact
(the width of the clampei blocks be-
ing two inches), and bore a one
fourth inch hole through the centre
of the blocks in the two-inch direc-
ton. Now remove the clamp, and let
the nut of the bolt into one of the
blocks so that it's hole will be con-
tinuous with the hole in the wood,
then glue the blocks together with
the nut between them. Cut out a
piece from the block combination,
leaving it shaped somewhat like a
bench, and glue the bottoms of the
legs to a piece of thin board about
two and one-half inches square for a
support. Solder one end of stiff
wire about two inches long to the
head of the bolt at right angles to
the shaft, and fix disk of heavy
pasteboard with radius equal to the
length of the wire, and with it's cir
conference graduated into equal
spaces, to serve in measuring revolu-
tons and parts of revolutions of the
end of the wire, to the top of the
bench; put the bolt in the hole, screw
ing it through the nut, and the con-
struction is complete.
The base is improved for the meas
uring work by gluing to the central
section of it, covering the place where
the end of the bolt meets it, small
piece of stiff metal; and it is con-
venient to have the graduated disk
capable of rotating, so that its zero
line may be made to coincide with the
wire.
Tensas gazette. [volume] (St. Joseph, La.) 1886-current, 1908-06-05

Find the number of threads of the
screw to the inch by placing the bolt
on a measuring rule, and coGnting
the threads in an inch or half an inch
of its length. The bolt in making one
revolution will descend a distance
equal to the distance between the
threads. .--s
To use the apparatus, put the OBJ
ject whose thickness is to be meas
ured on the base under the bolt, and
screw the bolt down until its end just
touches the object, then remove the
object, and screw the bolt down until
its end just touches the base, care
fully noting while doing so the dis
lance that the end of the wire moves
over the scale. The part of a rota-
ton of the bolt, or the number of
rotations with any additional parts of
a rotation added, divided by the num-
Der of threads to the inch, will be
the thickness of the object. Quite
accurate measurements may be made
with this instrument, and in the alb
sence of the expensive micrometer, it
serves a very useful purpose. l have
used it in the beginning classes in
electricity for measuring the diam
e!er of wire, for finding the numbers
of wires from reference tables, and
for making various other measure
ments.-From the Scientific Amer.

Has New York a Dialect?

Has New York dialect? This Is
one of the solemn questions of the
day. Oh, yes. It has a great many
dialects, and peculiar sorts of speech
that may be generally classified under
that head. Many of them sleep on the
fire escape on Division street when
the weather is warm enough. Then
there is much New England ''twang."
and the rugged vernacular OF the West
and a good deal Of affectation of "the
English, don't you know" And "yor
all" know that the South insinuates its
parts of speech into the metropolis oc
casionally. Then there are thousands
of foreigners who can only communi
cate with Americans by means OF
signs. Oh, yes, there are many dia-
lects in the great American metropolis,
but only a little straight and engag-
ing English. And that is mainly con-
centrated in the Sun and Times, with
perhaps a fair showing in some other
metropolitan journals which we do not
mention. with the obvious purpose of
not showing neutrality-suspicious.
