Henry Bessemer, who invented the

due Indirectly to the Crimean war.
Bessemer undertook to invent an i'm

metals too weak for the gun he sought
to make. He then began experiments
in steel making, with the ultimate re-

NEW TROUGH WATERS STOCK
Animal, Stepping on Platform, Opens
Valves Which Allow 4 Fresh, Cold
Stream to Pour In.

A trough has been invented which
can gauge the amount of water an ami
NAL drinks There Is a platform which
works In conjunction with valves on
the supply and drain pipes Of the
trough. When an animal steps on the
platform the valves are opened and a
stream Of water pours In. As he slakes
his thirst and steps OF the platform
the inlet is closed and the surplus wa
ter is drained off.
The valve mechanism Of this device
Is mounted In concrete well In the
ground. The valve Of the supply pipe
and the valve Of the drain pipe are
mounted side by side, and the stems Of
both valves Mt into a single operating
lever. Hinged above this mechanism
at the level of the ground Is the plat
form. The front end of the platform
Is raised slightly by pair of springs
and Is connected with the lever Of the
valves. The water trough lies Just In
front Of the platform.
As soon as an animal walks on the
platform he presses the front end down
and opens the valves of the trough
pipes. The water gushes In at Just the
rate that he will drink. His thirst
gnenched. he leaves the platform, the
springs raise 1t up and close the valves.
Very little water Is wasted. and the
drink furnished the thirsty animal is
as cool and fresh as that which Is sup
piled to the farmer and his men.

In China servants speak pldgln, or

of the sentence Is the same as In Chi
