The Clothes Brush is Dangerous.

The brushing of clothes seems a
harmless operation, but DIR. Chausse,
of the French Academy of Medicine,
has just shown by series of expert
ments that it can be an important
source of danger by spreading the
germs of tuberculosis.
Pieces of wooden garments were
soiled with a small quantity of saliva
containing some tubercular bacilli.
After having. let these pieces of stuff
dry at the temperature of the labora-
tory, the professor brushed each piece
with a whiskbrook in metallic cage
in which were a number of guinea pigs.
For three or four days there brush
ings of the infected clothes We're con-
tinued for ten minutes at time sew
eral times a day. Between each brush
ing the clothes brush was disinfected.
The guinea pigs, which had been in
perfect health when the experiment
was begun, quickly contracted tuber-
culosis and died.
Another experiment consisted in in
fecting the clothes and afterward let
ting them dry from two to four days
before each brushing. In this expert
ment all the guinea pigs died as be-
fore.
The next experiment was to let the
clothes dry six days before brushing.
This time three out of four of the lit
tie animals succumbed.
Only after allowing the clothes to
dry fifteen days did the brushing be-
come less harmful, and even then one
guinea pig died.
From these experiments DR.. Chausse
concludes that the brushing of cloth
ing infected with dry sputum is an
extremely dangerous operation during
the first few days after infection. THE
danger diminishes each day, but has
not entirely disappeared in two weeks.

An Electrical Clock.

Daniel Drawbaugh, a pioneer cleo
trical inventor, whose activities, es-
pecially in telephone lines, are well
known, in the late sixties built clock
which is now running at Car
Isle, Pa, in the office of his son,
Charles H. Drawhaugh. The clock
has continued to operate since 1870,
except when being moved from place
to place, and operates without wind
ing. The pendulum, weighing 45
pounds, is operated by an ordinary
electro magnet and a permanent
magnet armature, the current in the
electro magnet being reversed as it
passes the armature. The battery
consists of a place of copper and
another plate of iron, which are
buried in the earth. These plates
give a small electro motive force,
and enough current to keep the pen
dulum swinging. peculiar feature
Of the clock Is the compensated pen
dulum, which, instead of being in the
conventional ''gridiron" form, COM
prises a pair of brass rods and a pair
Of steel rods, which connect with each
other and with the pendulum bob by
means of two short levers so that the
bob Of the pendulum Will be lifted to
just the extent the pendulum length
ems by expansion. 1t is expected to
run 100 years before needing renewal
