A Surveying Camera,
A surveying ..ggrng^a,.. styled the
Bridges-Lee iustrarneut, is being introduced in England. It resembles an. ordinary camera, having a brass bound
box with rapid rectilinear lens and
double backs, and the usual ground
glass screen. The camera body turns on
a horizontal plate having a graduated
rim, over -which slides a vernier attached to the" camera for reading horizontal
angles, A clamping screw fixes the
camera body to the bottom plate, which
plate is mounted oa a tripod head provided with leveling screws. On top of
the camera box is fixed a rotating level
and telescope mounted on a horizontal
arm and fitted with a rack adjustment
ond scale, permitting vertical angles to
be taken. This telescope has a vertical
wire, which bisects the picture on the
ground glass screen, and is coplanary
with a second vertical wire inside the
camera. This wire casts a shadow,
whiGh is elearly discernible on the sensitive plate or film when developed, and
thus marks the center line of the picture. Behind this wire is a compass,
mounted on a rack inside the camera,
by means of which, when a photograph
is to be taken, it can be moved back
until it just fails to touch the plate.
The graduation of the compass card is
carried out on a vertical strip of translucent material, through which the
light passes to tbe plate, thus photographing thereon the compass bearing.
A horizontal fiber is also placed inside
the body of the camera, similar to the,
vertical one, which, when the instrument has been properly, leveledrind}-
cates the true" lpd^i'4pn.-=Bflgin|e]'4ng.

A SJory of the Petersburg "Kline.
Qerieral Horaee "Porter tells the following aneedote of the explosion of the
Petersburg mine in his ' 'Campaigning
With Grant," in The Century: A surgeon told us a story, one of the many
echoes of the mine affair, about a prisoner who had been dug out of the crater
and carried to one of our field hospitals.
Although his eyes were bunged and his
face covered with bruises, he was in an
astonishingly amiable frame of mind
and looked like a pugilistic hero of the
prize ring coming up smiling in the
twenty-seventh round. He said: "I'll
jest bet you that after this I'll be the
most unpopular man in my regiment.
You see, I appeared to get started a little earlier than the other boys that had
taken passage with me aboard that volcano, and as I was comin down I met
the rest of 'em a-goin up, and they
looked as if they had land o' soured ou
me and yelled after me, 'Straggler!' "

THE LITTLE,OLD SHOE.
It is only a tiny shoe
That she tonchi'K with tender care,
A cunning little bit of a thing
That a baby used to wear.
And sho gently raises it to her lips
And lovingly holds it there.
It js worn and faded and old,
Bnt it brings np tho happy past.
She sadly sighs as j-lie thinks of the joys
That were too sweet to last.
In fancy sho sees a little child
As it gambols upon the floor.
An elflite creature witb golden hair
Is cooing a baby song once more,
And a tear drops down on the tiny shoe
That tho beautiful dream child wore.
"Ah, well," she sigb3 to herself,
" 'Tis, alas, the will of the fates!
I used to be able to wear this shoe,
But now I take number eights."
—Pearson's Weekly.
ANIMALS AND MUSIC.
A Strange Experiment Made Iu a Zoological Garden.
A violinist was playing various airs
before the cages of the animals. The
bow, which had been passing backward
and forward half drowsily, took up a
gait that would have distanced one of
the deer in the pen by the buffaloes'
yard. Then there was a transformation
scene in the home of the lioness as rapid and as complete as that of tho tune.
The cubs went intoecstacies. They roll-
Ed about, jumped, fell over one another,
raced over their mother's recumbent
body, and danced unrebuked on her
head. They ceased their tantrums only
with the ceasing pf the music.
Then they gathered at the front bars
of the cage again and silently and pathetically pleaded for more. Their plea
was successful, and in response to the
delicate flattery conveyed by their manner the player gave the lullaby once
more. They simply sat and listened to
it as silently as they had at the first.
The transition to the jig musio was
once more made speedily. The first note
of the lively air had barely left the violin before its riotous contagion had
once more caught the cubs. They rollicked and rolled about and stopped only when the professor, fearing to tire
their little limbs, took his bow from
his fiddle and told "t'hemthey had danced
enough for .debutantes.
The hyena is an uncanny brute. His
very appearance goes a great way toward bearing out charges of graveyard
robbery brought against him. He has
no music in his soul nor loom for any.
Sweet sounds are to him so antip.odal, \q
everything in his nature, that they- inspire him with nothing; feui fear, and
the most abjec'; lea,?- at that. "When Pro-
lessor "gafierj tried." to interest the two
gkulkin.j"'- hyenas in his performance on
the violin, they began trembling visibly!
at the first note's utterance, and then as
the music swelled they sought the farthermost side of their prison and tried
their best to squeeze their ungainly bodies through tbe bars to escape the melody.—Philadelphia Times.

" Heroic Treatment of Patients.
The hospital physician should be a
man of the most thorough methods and
the most extreme conservatism. Ho
should be chosen as much for his practical good sense as for his skill in diagnosing disease. He should be a man
with intuitions and ought to be able to
decide almost at a glance whether a patient is suffering from brain trouble or
alcoholism.
Thero have been of late a great many
instances whero this mistake has been,
made, and it is by no means creditable,
to tho hospital authorities, v^ljQa sueli
blunders are made.
One of the latest exploits of a hespi-.
tai doctor.wasto.o}'d'*r i> cold bath for %
(jons^nipti-ife patient who showed, some,
symptoms of hysteria. Shortly af ter the,
■j'nth the woman died. Just why a doctor; should order such treatment comr-
aiQU sense as well as tie medical pro.-*,
fession would like very much to kuo\y.
Hospitals' are in the mam, supported;
Ipy the people, and the. people have a^
right to good treatment and courtesy- afc
the hands, of those who are put in
(jharge of such institutions. Failing to
receive this, the public has also the
right to demand an investigation of the
situation and to demand the punishment of those who are guilty of such
unprofessional aud inhuman conduct
and that their places be filled by those
who are more intelligent and better fitted fbr the duties and responsibilities of
such a place.—New York Ledger.

Chances For Success Iu large Cities^
In solving "Problems of *?p.**jHg;"Mea"1
Edward W. Bok, in *^lja XMles* Home
Journal,, replying to an. inquirer, contends, ' Ji'at opportunities f er promotion
(;n business) are more numerous iu
large cities than in smaller communities, but they are not better. "There
are more chances in the larger cities,
but likewise there are more applicants
for the chances. Salaries may be higher in the centers, but so, too, is the cost
of living. Things always equalize themselves. To my way of thinking, a moderate business success in a small community means more to a man in point
of living and absolute satisfaction than
a greater success in a larger city."
Catch Pish. "With Wheels.
A curious plan for catching fish is
used on the Columbia river. A number
of wheels are set up in the middle of the
stream, Which, as they turn round, catch
up the fish and cast them into troughs
by the river banks. The salmon are
then tinned and sent all over the world.
As much as five tons' weight of fish a
day has thus been taken.—Kansas City
NOT EXACTLY A BABY.
How a Woman Played a Trick on a Cable
Car Conductor.
"John, dear, somo one ought to speak
to that woman.   See, she's sraoth"—
"I'm not running this road. Besides,
it's probably her own kid."
"Well, I shall certainly inform the
authorities. It's over 15 minutes that
dear little thing hasn't had a breath of
air.   Won't you call the police?" ,
Of course this dialogue was furnished
hy husband and wife. Scene—A cable
car bound down town. The character
spoken of as "that woman" was a female of uncertain age and decided sternness. She boarded the car at Fifty-
ninth street. In her arms she carried
the "it" referred to man fashion as
"the kid." Tenderly, almost to snffo*
cation, the woman hugged her charge.
Not even the end of its tiny nose nor a
■wisp of baby hair peeped out from the
folds of the long cloak. The woman
snuggled and cuddled the bundled child,
and never an infantile wail or a gasp
for hreath aroused the wondering passengers to action. When the car reached Thirty-fourth street, "thatwoman,"
still hugging her bundle, left the car.
The husband and wife followed. The
car sped on.
Safe on the sidewalk, the woman
paused, shook the folds of the baby's
cloak, and deposited on the pavement a
long eared, wet nosed, watery eyed
spaniel. That was all.
' 'Well, John, I'm beat,'' said the wife.
"So's the conductor and the company, " responded John. "She smuggled
the beast and got the best of the company. I was smart enough to mind my
own,business. Come on."—New Tork

Something to KnoT
It may be worth something, to know thjit
tho very best medicine for jestoriiigj ihe
tired out nervous system to a healthy vigor is "EHectric Bitters. This medicine is
purely vegetable, acts by giving tone to the
nerve centers iu the stomach, gently
stimulates the liver aud Kidneys, and aids
these organs in throwing off impurities in
the blood. Electric Bitters improves the arj-
petite aids- digestion and is pronounced by
those who have tried it as the very best blood
purine raud nerve tonic. Try it. Sold
