VESfe A MICROMETER. Instrument for Delicate Measurements Which You Can Make. It often becomes necessary for the experimenter or practical worker to find the thickness of material so thin, or Inconvenient to measure, that the thickness cannot be found by means of foot rule or other common measur ing device. A simple, fairly accurate and easily made apparatus of the mi crometer form may be constructed as follows, explains Dr. Thomas R. Baker In Scientific American. Get a common Iron or brass bolt about one-quarter of an inch in di ameter and 2 J /j inches long, with as fine a thread as possible, and the thread cut to within a short distance of the head of the bolt. A bolt with a cut in the head for a screw driver should be used. Clamp together two blocks of wood with square corners about one inch wide, three-quarters of an inch thick and inches long, with their narrower faces in contact (the width of the clamped blocks be ing two inches), and bore a quarter- A Home-Made Micrometer. inch hole through the center of the blocks in the two-inch direction. Now remove the clamp and let the nut of the bolt into one of the blocks so that its hole will be continuous with the hole in the wood, then glue the blocks together with the nut between them. Cut out a piece from the block combi nation, leaving it shaped somewhat like a bench, and glue the bottoms of the legs to a piece of thin board about 2% inches square for a support. Solder one end of a stiff wire about two inches long to the head of the bolt at right angles to the shaft and fix a disk of heavy pasteboard with a radius equal to the length of the wire, and with its circumference graduated into equal spaces, to serve in measuring revolutions and parts of revolutions of the end of the wire, to the top of the bench; put the bolt in the hole, screwing it through the nut, and the construction is complete. The base is improved for the meas uring work by gluing to a central sec tion of it, covering the place where the end of the bolt meets it, a small piece of stiff metal; and it is convenient to have the graduated disk capable of ro tating, so that its zero line may be made to coincide with the wire. Find the number of threads of the screw to the inch by placing the bolt on a measuring rule and counting the threads in an inch or half an inch of its length. The bolt in making one revolution will descend a distance equal to the distance between the threads. To use the apparatus, put the object whose thickness is to be measured on the base under the bolt, and screw the bolt down until its end just touches the object, then remove the object and screw the bolt down until its end just touches the base, careful ly noting while doing so the distance that the end of the wire moves over the scale. The part of a rotation of the bolt, or the number of rotations with any additional parts of a rotation added, divided by the number of threads to the inch, will be the thick ness of the object. Quite accurate measurements may be made with this instrument, and in the absence of the expensive micrometer it serves a very useful purpose. I have used it in the beginning classes in electricity for measuring the diameter of wire, for finding the numbers of wires from ref erence tables and for making various other measurements.

Concrete may be used in the con struction of steps, particularly in damp places, and in the open or where the ground is terraced, concrete steps and walks can be made exceedingly attrac tive. Where the ground is firm it may be cut away in the form of steps, with each step cut two or three inches low er than its finished level. When the nature of the ground will not admit of its being cut away in the form of steps, the risers are molded Reinforced Concrete Steps. between two vertical forms. The front one may be a smooth board, but the other should be a thin piece of sheet metal, which is more easily removed after the earth has been tamped in be hind it, says the Concrete Review. A simple method of reinforcing concrete steps to place a half-inch steel rod in each corner, and thread these with quarter-inch rods bent to the shape of the steps, as shown in the sketch, placing them about two feet apart. For this class of work a rich Portland cement concrete is recommended, with the use of stone or gravel under one-half inch in size. Steps may be given one-half inch wearing surface of cement mortar mixed in the propor tion of one part cement to two parts sand. This system is well adapted for stairways in houses. SCOOP THAT WEIGHS. Does Away with the Necessity of Em ploying Counter Scales. Every grocer can ecoop up sugar or coffee, etc., from the storage bin and very closely gauge the correct quan tity. Yet he would not be willing to give it to the customer as the full weight to be purchased without first testing it on the scales. A Texas man has hit upon the idea of having the scoop indicate the weight of the contents, eliminating the necessity o transferring it to scales. His weigh ing scoop is shown in the accompany- Scoop Which Indicates Weight. ing illustration. The pan for gathering up the article to be weighed is pivoted to the handle and operates a pointer, which indicates the weight of the con tents on a scale. If a pound of sugar is wanted the grocer dips enough out of the bin to swing the pointer to the pound mark. The sugar is then trans ferred directly to a bag, doing away with the necessity of weighing on scales. TESTING A BRIDGE. Severe Strain Placed Upon the New Rodah Bridge at Cairo. The Rodah bridge at Cairo is prac tically finished as far as the structur al work itself is concerned. This bridge is now undergoing the official tests, but it will not be publicly opened to traffic until the terminals of the structure are finally completed, to gether with the approaches at one end. This is a work that will probably take some time to accomplish. The tests are of a severe character, dead weights of sand and steel rails being piled up on each pier in succession, exerting a pressure of 1,000 tons. Sub sequently live weights of steam rollers and tramcars loaded with sand and water carts filled with water are to be run on the bridge, with a total pres sure of 460 tons on the main girders. The tests so far have been, so we gather, satisfactory in their results. No fault or strain has been revealed in the material. How Ancients Did. By rubbing metals with salt, before applying mercury, the ancients ob tained a reaction similar to that for which copper sulphate is used. The chlorine released from the salt formed a silver chloride easily attacked by the mercury, so as to form an amal gam. First Rubber from Zululand.

CARE OF THE KITCHEN Clean Walls Are an Essential to Banitary Cooking. It is not only important to know how to cook, but it is equally impor tant to know where to cook. Cook ing in a dirty kitchen can never pro duce good food. The idea is simply preposterous, yet kitchen walls are left for months —sometimes for years without cleansing. In the first place the kitchen wall should have a light tint that the mer est fleck of dirt can be seen; that the sheerest cobweb can be brushed away; that the tiniest water bug can be discerned. It is all folly expecting clean food in a kitchen with dirty walls. Never put a wall coating on a kitchen wall that is mixed with hot water or that has glue in it, or sour milk in it if mixed with cold water. Glue walls made from horses' hoofs colored up with cheap colorings do not indicate good housekeeping. The glue is constantly flecking off, fall ing into the food and the idea of food flavored with glue made from horses' hoofs is not appetizing. Kitchen walls to be thoroughly sat isfactory should bo alabastined the game as every other wall in the house. They should be coated regu larly in the spring and fall of each year with a light tint. The care of the pantry requires constant attention. The walls should be brushed over every year, the dishes removed from the shelves which should be thoroughly wiped with hot water. If there aro ant hole 3 or any other insects in the pan tries a thick putty of the wall coat ing can be made and all the ant holes, even small mice holes can be filled with it which will protect the pantry from the incursions of disagreeable Insects and mice. STILL HAD USE FOR BOOTS. Kafir's Newly-Acquired Treasure Put to Queer Use. An army officer in charge of a na tive district in South Africa presented to the kafir boy who acted as his par ticular servant a pair of strong, heavi ly nailed army boots. The boy was delighted with the gift, and at once sat down and put the boots on. They were the very first pair he had ever had in his life, and for several days afterward he strut ted proudly about the camp with them. But at the end of the week he ap peared as usual with bare feet and the boots tied round his neck. "Hello!" said his master. "Why don't you wear your boots? Are they to small for you?" "Oh, no, sail," replied the kafir, "they plenty big. Berry nice boots, sail, but no good for walking or run ning. Make um fellah too much slow, sah. Keep boots now for wear in bed." —London Answers. CLIP THIS OUT Valuable Recipe When Afflicted With Rheumatism or Backache, Also Splendid Tonic. At the first sign of rheumatic pains or backache, or a feeling of being gen erally run down and weakened, the following simple prescription should be used: "One ounce compound Syrup Sar saparilla; one ounce Toris Boot com pound; half pint high grade whiskey. Mix them and shake well. Take a tablespoonful before each meal and at bed time. The bottle must be well shaken each time." Any good prescription pharmacy can supply these ingredients and it will be found inexpensive considering its wonderful merit. This treatment will eradicate the acid poisons from the blood and build up the system to its normal health iness. The splendid effects will be come manifest after the first few doses, but it should be continued for at least a month, or until the person has fully regained health. The worst cases of rheumatism are bound to yield to this treatment. Treadmill Still in Use.
