This the Smallest Motor2

A correspondent Of the Electrical
World writes that he has just complet=
ed a motor which weighs only 6.5
grains and is, he believes, the smallest
in the world. It's commutator, which
measures ,045 inch In diameter, Is
made up of four gold segments insu'
lated from each other with mica. The
shaft on which the commutator Is
mounted Is .009 inch in diameter. FL
Der insulation is used between the
commutator and the shaft. The tiny
armature, .09 inch in diameter, has
four pole pieces and is wound with
No, 40 silk covered copper wire. The
weight of the revolving part Is 1.2o
grains. Between the armature and
the yolk two field coils are provided:
The silver brushes measure .O1s inch
in diameter and are held against the
commutator by springs ,Oo4 inch In
diameter. In over all dimensions the
motor measures 1854 inch long and
1854 inch high, All visible parts are
finished in Roman gold. When con-
nected to a small f1ashlight battery,
the motor runs at very high speed.

WATER LILIES ARE PASSING
Beautiful Flowers Have Greatly De-
creased In IndIana-AImost Dis
appeared In Some Lakes.

Many of the smaller lakes Of In
diana few years ago foated an
abundance Of water lilies. AS the
years have gone by and the numbers
of excursionists and summer guests
at these places have increased, the
lilies have greatly decreased and from
some lakes have almost disappeared
What a beautiful flower, beautiful in
its mystical loneliness Is the white
water lily which belongs to the same
species as the lotus, which the ancient
Egyptians held sacred! How lovely Is
our lily floating amid It's great rounded
leaves closing at night to reappear
the next morning in all its unsp9tted
purity. July and August are the
months for this flower. An old writer
In enthusiastic admiration Of this lily
says;
"Ah, how lovely it looks, floating
double, lily and shadow, with Its
broad leaves looking like green resting
places for this queen Of waters to sit
upon, while dipping her ivory sandals
in the yielding silver; or, when rocked
by gentle breeze one may fancy they
look like moving fairy feet with low
green hulls and white sails, slowly
making for the shore!"
But unless the yandal hand Of the
visitor to these lakes Is stayed these
lilies will soon be as rare as white
blackbirds,

WORK FOR THE UNDERTAKES
Scarcity of Business and Unpaid Bills
Makes Large Margin Of Profit
Absolute Necessity.

In the United States there are today
something more than 10000 undertak-
ers, declares the Pictorial Review. At
tracted by the enormous profits to be
made in funeral goods, more men are
constantly swarming into the business.
At the time the School of Philanthropy
made it's investigation there were, ac-
cording to a church paper, 40 under
takers in Chicago. On the average,
each undertaken secured trifle more
than one funeral a week. In New York
city there were LOO undertakers and
about $4,000 deaths annually, which
gave each undertaken an average Of
less than four funerals in three weeks.
For the country as whole, the aver
age was less than one funeral week
for each undertaken. Some undertak-
ers cot more than one-half Of all the
business during a given fortnight
leaving 429 undertakes to divide the
ether half. Many undertakers had no
funerals at all during these two weeks.
In the course of an entire year tney
would secure only a h2rdIul. Otnefs
would get only one or two funerals a
,,,onth. Yet each undertaken had to
keen up his establishment-where ne
had one-pay office rent, bills for light
and heat, clerk hire and other ex-
nenses, and, in addition, make a living
~, from the profits of one or two fun
erals a month.
