MACHINE PLUCKS POULTRY.
East Orange Inventor Has One Tina
Makes the Feathers Fly.

Theodore g. Griggs of lO1 North Fiji
teenth street, East Orange is the in
ventor OF fowl-plucking device, which
poultry raisers who have inspected it be-
lieve will fill want in the industry.
Other machines have been invented to
do the work which Griggs provides for
in his machine, but none has heretofore
been anything more than an interesting
piece OF machinery. with little practical
worth.
Griggs departs from the lines followed
in other machines and introduces an en-
tirely new method. The fowl to be
plucked Is placed on an endless travelling
belt and carried through series Of fin
gers, which are so arranged that they go
over the entire bird, plicking ii clean Of
feathers. The danger Of tearing the skin
Is avoided by the simple expedient of
having the fingers clutch only few
feathers at time. The size Of the bird
is no factor whatever. 1t will stay in
the machine until plncked, whether large
or small A pneumatic tube carries
away the feathers AS fast as they are
removed.
Griggs is civil engineer. and never
raised a chicken in his life, but he no
ticed few years ago, while visiting a
friend who runs poultry farm. that the
labor Of removing feathers from the birds
was one Of the chief items Of cost in pre-
pairing the product for market. 1t Is said
that the owner OF one Of his machines
will be able to reduce his expenses by 20
per cent.--New York Sun.

RETURN OF THE TOP HAT.
Its Regained Sway This Spring Among
London City Men.

TOP hats" says the English Gentle
woman. ARE ON top again. 1t is not to
be denied that the silk hat has of late
years experienced somewhat anxious
time. A succession of unusually ho,
summers. aided and abetted by fash.
ion among business men for offending
city satorial tradition by going to theii
work in lounge suits & nd bowlers, to say
nothing the pananias, gave the silk hat a
very severe knock.
This was made pretty plain by the
silk hat manufacturers meeting at the
White city last year. to protest against
our desertion of a tile by which they
themselves kept roof over their heads.
But their troubles, if ever they were
very serious, are over now. The silk hat
has most surely come into its own again,
and we shall hear no more, for some
years at least, Of strawyard Ascots and
panama Goodwoods.
1T is now and will be during the sea-
son absolutely the correct thing for nil
dressy occasions. All the best dressed
men both of the west end and the city,
both of the club life and the office life,
have discarded their less formal hats and
taken very seriously to their silk hats
and morning coats. The excellent ex.
