MOUSE POWER.

Since the days when man discovered
the uses to which he might put his
domesticated animals, no more curious
form Of animal power to operate ma
chinery has been recorded than that
devised by a canny Scot, one David
Hutton, who. in. the last century, con-
ceived. the notion of putting mice to
work for him.
Hutton had seen certain toys and
trinkets manufactured by the prisoners
In French Jail. His attention had been
especially attracted by a little toy
house there, with wheel in the gable,
that was caused to revolve rapidly by
q mouse Of the common house variety.
Hutton bought this device, and for a
long time II afforded him much amuse-
ment, but later he began seriously to
consider how q half ounce power (the
weight of the mouse) might be applied
to some practical end. 1t finally oc-
CURED to him that the manufacture Of
sewing thread might be aided in this
way.
Now It happened that during the
course of the Scots experiments and
Investigations he ascertained that an
ordinary mouse would average a run
of 10h miles per day; but he got one
mouse that actually did the extraordi-
nary distance Of IS miles In that time.
A half-penny's worth OF oatmeal por-
ridge was found to be sufficient to feed
It for a period Of IS days, during which
time It made 3c2 miles.
From that time Hutton enlisted the
constant services Of two mice to propel
his mill for the making OF sewing
thread. This mill was so constructed
that the mouse was able to twist. Irvine,
and reel from 100 to 120 threads q day,
Sundays not excepted. for the Scot did
not permit his religious convictions to
interfere with the project.
To perform this task the little ro-
dent was obliged to cover its ION miles
n day, which, however, the mouse could
do with ease. On the -penny's
worth of oatmeal porridge. lasting five
weeks, one Of the little fellows made
$3.50 threads 25 inches long, and mas
much as one penny was paid to women
for every hank made In the ordinary
way, the mouse at the rate mentioned
earned IS cents every six weeks.
&c. allowing for board and for ma
'chinery, there accrued to Hutton a
yearly profit from each mouse OF. 81. so.
Just as the inventor. having demon
strated the feasibility of his plan, was
preparing to enlarge the scope OF his
enterprise by setting UP 10000 Of these
mouse mills, he was stricken by the i'll.
Tess that resulted In his death.

A prominent and successful business
man of Michigan was asked to explain
why he advertises and why he usea
newspaper space so largely for that

BANK BUYERS
ARE WATCHED
BY EXAMINERS

New York, July 9.-National bank ex-
aminers have information of the do
ings of some real estate operators and
other speculative ~financiers In New
York who are buying up country banks
with the intention Of using the capital
of rural depositors to further queer OPP
erations hereabouts. The bank exam
liners won't say precisely what they
are going to do about It, but they hint
that unless the men who are speCulat-
ing with other folks. EaSfhey don't stop

AAfOng with the schemes to divert the
capital of the country banks into wild
cat enterprises, the examiners say, are
other plans to make a given amount OF
capital do a double purpose by means
of ~coneeahng the loans of the bank.
Lawrence o, Murray, comptroller Of
the currency, has devised a method Of
checking this abuse, however, which
he thinks win be effective. The change
involves n different system of making
out reports Of condition from that now
in use.
These matters were discussed at a
meeting of national bank examiners
which has been In session this week at

of the Second district, comprising New
York, New Jersey and Delaware, were
