An Instrument lately devised by R. J. Strutt males Ingenious use of the emanations of radium. An electroscope . scope with dividing leaves Is sealed up In n vacuum tube along with a speck of radium. The Inner sides of the vacuum tube are partially coated with tinfoil , which communicates by a wire fused In the glass with the "earth" outside. Thus , if the electroscope . troscope be charged with positive electricity , Its leaves , expanding , will touch the tinfoil surface : will be discharged - charged and will fall together again. But the spark of radium which is always . ways discharging negative Ions through the glass walls of the vacuum - urn tube Is , in consequence , continually . ally creating and maintaining an atmosphere . mosphere of positive electricity within the tube , and therefore as often as the electroscope Is discharged . charged recharges It. Thus the leaves of the electroscope ceaselessly expand and fall together again. The Instru- ment has been variously called n radium clock and a perpetual motor. Both descriptions are wanting in accuracy ' curacy , for there is reason to believe that the instrument will not go on working forever , but only during the 20.000 or 30,000 years of the radium's life : and there Is no guarantee that It will go on working with chronological . ; logical accuracy. Still , it Is the nearest . cst approach to perpetual motion that has ever been artificially at- tained. Operated by ElectrIcity. Doubtless the mOan who first Invented - ed the typewriter felt satisfied that he had attained the summit ot speed in writing when he had perfected his machine to respond to the touch ot Current Manipulates the Levers. the fingers on the leeys. And with a few minor improvements , which have not changed the principle of the invention . ventlon , It has filled an Important place in the business world. It has always been necessary to depress the keys sufficiently to throw the type-bar against the Inking ribbon and leave its Impression on the paper , this action . tion releasing a universal bar to allow the carriage to move forward one space as each letter is printed. Now It is done by the aid of the electric .urrent. Each rod proposed to do all this work automatically which operates - ates a type-bar , Is ! now connected with a little electro-magnot and as soon as the current enters any coil Its corresponding . pending rod Is thrown forward just far enough to hook the lower end Qf It beneath . neath the edge of the central disk as shown. Just as this connection Is made the passage of the electric cur- 'ent through another electro-magnet depresses the disk , pulling the rod down and striking the type face on the paper as though it were done by the depression of a key with the fin- gel' To form the connection between the individual magnets and the oper- ating mechanism the wrIter wears a set of metallic thimbles on the fingers , which are wired to the source of the electric current. The instant connection . , . lion Is made with one of the metallic plates on the keyboard the current passes through the plate Into the corresponding . responding magnet and hence to the disk in the center of the machine.

Some New Ideas Put Forth By a Canadian Agriculturist-Ail May Be Constructed at Comparatively Little Expense. ' , 4 : I Mr. Wm. Scott , a Manitoba farmer JIving In Provencher district , contributes . utes to The Family Herald and Weekly . ly Star illustrations of two forms ot gates which are used with satisfaction on his farm. The gate represented In Fig. 1 Is used over the farm , while Fig. 2 represents the small garden gate. Mr. Scott has five at the larger gates , three of which have permanent wheels , and when harvest Is over the wheels of the horse rake are attached to the ! k' ' . . Fig. L remaining two. The gate rests on the wheel , whether closed or open , the revolving - volving wheel carrying the gate around . .i. " I whether opening or closing. The gate - . pi 1 rests on the back end on n block of wood , in which there is a socket , and In this n gudgeon at the foot of the gate head rests and turns. Mr. Scott says his three-year-old boy can open an 18.foot gate of this sort with ease. - , The garden gate shown at Fig. 1 swings across the open end of a fixed V-shaped enclosure. To pass through one steps into the enclosure , draws the gate past himself and passes out on the other sldo. Mr. Scott remarks In his letter that whenever this gate Is ' . . = lllFH1 * . "fr- _ -p-nt 1111111111 o , - . ' 't x FIB' , . opened It shuts In the same operntlon. The gate shown in Fig. 3 was recommended . mended by 1\11' Henry Burton , Ontario County , Onto 1\11' Burton describes the gate and its construction about as follows : The gate requires about 40 feet of good inch pine lumber , which Is worth about $25 per thousand feet. The top and bottom bars are each six Inches wide , the others being four inches. The spaces between the bars , commencing nt the bottom , are four , J six , eight and ten inches. When necessary . " , , - - , . essary , one wire Is stretched length- wise between the top and sucond bars. The uprights and braces are all four inches wide. The upright pieces are fastened on with nine nails on both t1I - ! t' - . . . - _ 111111- Fig. 3. sides. One Is put on at a time and the nails are clinched. Wire nails r three or three and n half Inches long -4 ) are usod. After the braces and strap hinges are put on the gate Is bolted at each of the corners with three- eighth inch bolts. This gate Is strong , cheap and easily made.-MontreaJ Herald. ' J No Danger. Miss Pla 'ne-l was almost fright- enetl to death when he suddenly kissed - ed me.
