waists In snowball design arc to he
found , the more elaborate being
marled at $2C In these more elabo-

stitches of embroidery silk.
On the net waists the yoke effect Is
sometimes supplied by the stitched
tailor hands of silk or satin. Net
waists are mostly of the figured net ,

large ) conventional design. Back ) net
waists are particularly well ) thought of

Automatic Pump of Great Power. -
C. A. Arnsberger , an engineer ot . .
" ,
Hurly , Idaho , has just receive pat- . . . .
ent letters for an Invention that be
has been working on for years , and
which promises to revolutionize cer-
tain features of mining and Irrigating
operntlons. It consists or an auto- \ '
matlc quadruple action force pump , ,
that Increases the outflow of water .
by four times that of the ordinary , ,
force pump requiring the same motive
power. ' , . "
Some of the great advantages , .
'
calmed for thIs pump are that it can ;
be operated at any speed ; that It can . ' l
be made up In any size ; that it works . " . .
on n central pivot and Is at all times - "
on an even balance regardless of the
depth oC the well or the volume of
water being ralaed. There Is no lost , f
motion. It throws just as much water '
when the lever Is going up as It does ' ,
when It Is going down It Is able to
raise water at great height without ' . ,
much additional power , for the reason
that It both pushes and pulls at toe . . .
column of water. It can bo adapted . . .t

Measurement of Dew.
The measurement of dew has always
been difficult because of the fact that
no method heretofore has given exact , . .
results. In Das Wetter 1\1. Ferb describes - , --.t ,
scribes a new sort or drosometer , ft
which has given satisfactory results ,
and which Is composed of a piece of
paper which has been put through 8
special preparation and dipped In a
chemical solution. This paper Is ex-
posed In a box placed during the night
on the ground , the quantity of dew be-
Ing indicated hr the discoloration
the paper. A scale of tints Is deter- .
mined experimentally , which Is used
for the purpose of comparison , there
being further used three sorts of paper - .I
per , the first for small Quantities of ' " " 'f
dew , the second for large quantities ,
and the thIrd for very heavy dews.
