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.

TO MAKE CONCRETE STEPS.
Directions for Putting in a Permanent
Improvement.
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

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.
A first shipment of Tongaland and
Zululand rubber has been dispatched
to London from Durban. A large tract
of rubber country is being worked un
der a concession granted by the Natal
government, and regular shipment*
are expected.
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.
The barbarous custom of using con
victs in treadmills is still practiced
in some English prisons, declares Pop
ular Mechanics, and an interesting
picture shows the convicts at this try
ing task. The speed is about 30 steps
a minute, and if a man misses a step
a cross-bar strikes the calves of his
legs.
