ing cylinder made to turn regularly
by means of clockwork. The short
arm Of the lever is fitted with steel
bearings having conical holes corre-
spending to the amplifying ratios, 20,
10, and 2.5.
The short arm of the lever is moved
by means of a rod which is in opera
tive connection with the roadway by
means Of wire specially stretched to
avoid oscillations. For recording the
detection of beam the instrument Is
preferably placed in the roadway.
When a vertical detection is to be
recorded the lower end Of the wire is
anchored to the earth and to the up
per end Of the roadway itself, the re-
cording being obtained by relative
movement, the wire playing the part
Of fixed rod. For measuring horizon
tai detection a fixed point is establish
ed at the level of the roadway, the
wire being attached to a spiral spring
In connection with the upper level OF
the roadway and two anchorages In
the earth. The fixed point thus serves
to operate the recording instrument
By means Of other arrangements di-
rect records of detection or displace-
ments, measured not from the earth or
the anchorage, but relative to the
structure itself, can be obtained-as,
for example, the detection of the cen
ter of a beam referred to its supports.

Protection of Steel.

A process for protecting iron and
steel from rust has been invented and
patented by T. w. Coslett of Temple
row, Birmingham, England This con-
sists In immeGsing the article in a hot
phosphorized solution containing an
iron compound. The surface of the
iron is converted into mixture Of
ferrous and ferric phosphates and pre-
cents pleasing dull black appearance.
This process makes the iron highly re-
sistant to corrosion and is being ap-
piled to all kinds Of light engineering
work, such as cycle frames, gun bar
Eels, stampings and press work.

FOR TESTING BRIDGES.
Instrument Detects and Records Weak
ness In Structure.

instrument Detects and Records Weak
ness In Structure.
An instrument for measuring def1ec-
ton and strain on loaded bridges and
other structures is described in the En-
gineering Digest, The wide range Of
application Of this instrument, togeth-
er with the value of the records which
may be obtained by its use, makes 1t
indispensable in the testing Of bridges
and similar structures. The single
fact that the detection of a bridge is
generally regarded as the factor which
decides the length Of its life shows the
value Of an instrument of this charac-
ter. According to this paper, it consists
essentially Of an amplifying lever
movable around horizontal axis and
receiving by means of a stirrup, a
rod and steel wire the motion to be
recorded. 5
The extremity of the long arm car
ries a special pen, which traces the
curve on a chart carried by record.

MILKING CUTTLEFIsH.
Strange Farming Carried on Along tho
British Coast

Strange Farming Carried on Along tho
British Coast.
1t is not known generally that cuttle-
fish are cultivated on some farms In
order to be "milked." These cutie
fish farms are located on parts Of the
British coast, and the cuttlefsh are
kept In tanks or ponds to be MIXED
of their ink.
The pond or tank is connected with
the sea by pipe, and a thousand or
more cuttlehsh are kept in a single
one. They form a most curious sight
as they move about trailing their long
arms and staring out of their bulging
eyes.
1hey are guarded by screens, which
prevent them from being scared, for if
they are suddenly frightened the cut
fetish will squirt their milk into the
water. and it would therefore be lost.
This fluid, or milk, IS very valuable.
and each cuttlefish win yield about 81
worth a year. It Is secreted in a bag,
which can be opened and closed at
will, the cuttlefish ejecting the fluid to
darken the water so that it may es-
cape unseen when attacked. The best
cuttlefish are procured in China, where
for some reason or other they produce
the best quality Of milk.
When the farmer considers it oppor-
tune to milk the cuttIefish he pro-
ceeds by opening the sluices Of the
pond and gently agitating the water.
The cuttles then swim around the pond,
and as soon as one passes through the
sluice is closed. The cutie passes
down a small channel into a basin or
metal receptacle, and as soon as 1t is
securely there the water is drained off.
1t is then frightened and at once
squirts the fluid from the bag. Wher
it is exhausted 1t Is lifted out, tho
milk is collected. and the basin is pre-
pared for another.

BRYAN AND THE PRICE or PORK,

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: I wish to call your attention to the fact that
in 1888 when Mr.. Cleveland was in power, pigs or
pork was selling at z1s cents a pound; to-day we
get for pork over seven cents pound In 1893 We
could buy good horse for $50 10 $40: to-day the
same horse be bought for $50 to 800. In the
time Of Cleveland could buy a hrst class milk
cow for SIS TO so; to-day the will bring
from $50 to SIS. Yet Mr.. Bryan will tell the farm
ers that he will not rule them with club: he will
rule them with love. You may say to Mr.. Bryan.
When poverty comes into the door loves goes out
the window" No one make me believe that
there are enough foolish people IN this country to
elect a like Bryan. 1t would be the worst
thing that has happened in this country. To-
day the working man is being nisled by Bryan and
his following. Do your best. From good, strong
