The Inventor claims that it will assort metal coins which have been thrown ! together, regardless of their denomin ations, placing each denomination in a separate basket. The various coins are thrown Indiscriminately Into a funnel at the top of the machine, and from the funnel they slide downward, alighting on a spi rartalcklltv(II tst, alighting on a spiral track. This track has a protecting edge or raised bor der containing slits corresponding to the various .'sizes of the coins. As the coins of various denominations glide downward on' to the track, through some peculiar mechanism of the ma chine they pass through the slits cor responding tO' their various sires, en tering their respective baskets at the bottom of the machine. It is said that several firms handling large amounts of coin daily have tried the, machine with' satisfactory results. The same principle is not unknown in Florida and California, Where it is adopted for sizing oranges. Harper's Weekly. Thinks English Language May Die. English may be a dead language In 4000 A.

Money is being raised in Japan to restore the monument of Will Adams, the first English resident of that country and the founder of the Jap anese fleet. No fiction of adventure is more romantic and seemingly im probable than is the story of this Kentish pilot of the seventeenth cen tury. Mr. Lafeadlo Hearn, In one of his books on Japan, tells the tale of the young Englishman's rise to for tune. In 1600 Will Adams arrived in Japan In command of a Dutch ship. Adams had partaken of many a sea adventure, and had probably been brought in contact with HawklnB, Drake, Sir Richard Grenvtlle and the other celebrated voyagers of that day. He says himself, in his account of his life, that he "served for Master and Pilott in her Majestle's ships." On landing in Japan, Adams was taken prisoner and sent to Osaka to the great Emperor Iyesyasu. "As soon as I came before him he demanded of what countrey we were," Bays Adams. "So I answered hlra on all points. He asked whether our country had warres. I answered him yea. He asked as to the way we came to the countrey. Having a chart of tha whole world I showed him through the Straight of Mngelan. He viewed me well and seemed to be wonderful favorable." The Empecor attached Adams to his personal service, and later we read of the late pilot teaching his royal master "jeometry and under standing of the art of mathematlcks." Adams was well provided for, and commanded to build ships for deep sea sailing. Before long he was cre ated Samurai, and an estate was given him. Surely no romance of that romantic age was stranger than the rise of this plain English pilot, with only his simple honesty and common sense to help him. He was in such extra ordinary favor with the greatest and shrewdest of Japanese rulers that we read In a contemporary account: "The Emperor esteemeth hym much, and he may goe in and speake to hym at all times when Kynges and Princes are kept out." Adams' only cause for regret in his elevation to fortune was the fact that he was never allowed to visit his na tive land. His services were regard ed as too precious to be spared. The Emperor never refused him anything but this one privilege, and Adams did nibt dare to urge the matter too hard, for, as be writes, "When I asked one too many times the Ould Em perour was silent." ALIVE IN CAPSIZED VESSELS. A striking example of one among the many strange accidents that be fall' sailors was reported the other day from Newcastle, New South Wales. The :s barkentine Kate Tatham turned turtle in a gale, and one ot her crew was shut up in her hold. The survivors, who had climbed on her keel as she heeled over, naturally took it for granted that he was drowned. What was their surprise therefore presently to hear ' faint knocklngs from beneath their feet, evidently made by their imprisoned comrade. Help was at hand, and a hole was cut through the ship's bottom, when the man was hauled out, little the worse for his terrible experience. He had, it appeared, been kept alive by the air which had been imprisoned in the hull when the vessel capsized and which, becoming compressed as the water rose, had eventually stopped its further encroachment. He had used a balk ot floating timber to support himself. His Imprisonment lasted for two hours, and in the cabled reports sent to this country the Incident is char acterized as unparalleled. This, how ever, is by no means correct. There are several cases on record of men having lived in similar circumstances in the huks of capsized ships not hours only but days, the most re markable authenticated instance be ing that of Captain Engallandt, of the Erndte, who was rescued alive after an entombment lasting altogether eleven days eighteen hours. During this period the derelict. drifting bottom uppermost,' was sight ed by the masters of several vessels, all of whom, however, passed non chalantly by, none imagining for a moment that the semi-submerged and capsized hulk contained, shut up in its vitals, a living man. Eventually the Erndte drifted ashore near Dauzig, and Captain En gallandt was taken out alive, al though greatly emaciated. Pearson's Weekly. AN AVERTED TRAGEDY.. The family had six black cats, all of which lined up daily ou, the back porch, expecting food and getting it says a writer in the Washington Star! Then after a while mother began to say she did wish that she could get rid of a few cats. Father said he should think she would, too, and asked why she did not chloroform them. He explained that it was a painless sleep, and a method ap proved by the Society for the Pre vention of Cruelty to Animals Grandmother said she had read In the newspapers that the society used gas in an air-tight chamber, but, any how, it was humane. Uncle Nat said he never saw so many cats in his life, and that he was always stepping on one whenever he put his foot dovrn. Aunt Caroline said she hated cats; but one could get used to anything, even cats. Susan, the colored cook, said she was going to leave if some of those cats didn't; that there never was a crumb of anything to eat In the house after those hollow cats had been filled up; and why dlffn't they hunt their living like other cats? Then one day mother asked Uncle Nat to get a bottle of chloroform at the druggist's, which Bhe left on the mantel-shelf ir )laln sight. Father asked where the ,bottle of chloroform came from, and what it was for? Grandmother said It was very careless of somo one to leave a bottle of chloroform round like that, where any one could get It. Aunt Caroline asked who was go ing to use the chloroform. Uncle Nat said he was willing to buy It, and had done his part, and if any one thought he was going to kill cats with it he was mistaken. The day was Thursday, Susan's day out. The family had gone for a drive, all except mother, who had a motive In remaining at home. It was now or never. With the light of resolu tion in her eye and her lips pressed firmly together, with a bottle and sponge In one hand and cats in her apron, she started for the barn. Pursing her Hps more tightly still, she gathered up more cats as she went. Then she shut all she had in an empty box, which was to serve as an execution chamber, and went in search of more cats. Two more were added; none was spared. The sponge was saturated and thrust into the box, and the executioner fled to the house without once looking back. When father came home and found what had been done he was amazed. He wouldn't have lost the cat named Punch for anything, and he had al ways regarded Punch as his own cat, and Punch was a first-class ratter. Grandmother also evinced surprise at what had happened, and said she should always mourn the cat named Judy, for Judy was such a ladylike cat, and could always have a corner In her room to sleep in, for Judy was never in the way nor the least bit ob jectionable. Uncle Nat said he wouldn't have taken any money for Topsy, as he regarded Topsy as his especial prop erty, and the likeliest cat in the bunch. Aunt Caroline said it wes bad luck to kill black cats, and she couldn't think of anything she was so super stitious about as black cats. Susan said she wouldn't have killed even one black cat for all the money on earth, and that she should be afraid to stay now, anyway, and couldn't wait till her month was up, either. Mother hadn't a word to say for herself. That night black cats stared at ber out of the darkness, and once she awoke from a nightmare of pur suing cats, an army, of them, and thought she heard them wailing the spirits ot the cats she had chloro formed! ' At daybreak she rose from her bed, dressed herself, and descended to the kitchen and there on the" back doorstep, peering through the screen door as usual, unhurried and ex pectant, were the six black cats, waiting for their breakfast. "I'm so glad I didn't put a rock on the top of that box!" said mother. She gathered them in as if they had been prodigals, and all six of them had the breakfast ot their nine or more lives. STRUGGLE WITH A TIGER. Two brothers, Khuda Bakhs and Shaikh Abdul Ghani, of Moradabad, were despatched recently to Rampur on an errand, and while entering a grove at Khadpura 1 tiger sprang upon Khuda Bakhs, who, being an athlete, warded off the blow aimed at him with his right hand and caught one of the paws with the other and maintained his hold, though the tiger was mauling the other hand. Abdul Ghani now rushed up with a stout stick, which he forced down the tiger's throat, making it release his brother's hand, when Khuda Bakhs seized another paw with bis wounded hand, forcing both the paws back. He wrestled with the tiger, keeping it down by sheer force, while Abdul Ghani belabored it with his lathi and killed it. The tiger was carried by the broth ers to His Highness the Nawab of Rampur, "who kept the skin as a me mento and sent Khuda Bakhs to .the State dispensary for treatment." In dian Dally Telegraph.

This proved very effective, as bugs and worms, and even snakes, will net readily cross newly burned-over ground. Mabel Kneeland, In Recreation. . (0 WASPS-THE ORIGINAL ! PAPER-MAKERS. I Of course, the writer knew that wasps are the original paper-makers, and long since pointed the way to the use of wood-pulp for that paper making which has so immensely in creased In later years and is threaten ing much of the literature of this era with early extinction. But from what particular objects was the pulp gathered? Now came a rare surprise. A few feet beyond the old tree stood a chest nut telephone pole. While passing It one day a hornet was seen to alight upon It. Eureka! the mystery was solved. For straightway the insect began scraping off the surface with its jaws. Settling well upon the post, It fastened its open mandibles into It, drew them together, thus removing a particle of fibre, and backed down a little way. This act was repeated un til it had covered a space about three fourths of an Inch long, and one-sixteenth wide, Just the stretch of the hornet's Jaws. Meanwhile a tiny pel let of wood-dust had been gathered and rolled and pushed beneath the mouth; whereupon Vespa flew away. In fact, her method of gathering building material was just the reverse ot that used when giving it out in construction. Now the post was carefully Inspect ed, and it was found to be mottled on all sides and to the top, about eighteen feet, with streaks like that which the hornet had just left, the fresh marks upon the abraded wood showing dis tinctly against the weathered surface. The streaks were not all ot equal length; for, as it afterwards appeared, the pulp-gatherers seemed somewhat fastidious in their selections, and would shift their positions several times. Sometimes, also, the scar al ready made would be continued by the same or another worker; and often it would be overlaid. But, as a rule, the space which measured the amount of fibre removed at one visit to the pole corresponded with the amount of pulp laid on at one time by the builders on the nest; and that in both cases was determined apparently by the carrying capacity of the jaws. The visits varied in length. Thus, ot three noted, one was four minutes, with seven shifts; one, two minutes; and one, three minutes, nine seconds. Wishing to get some idea of the number of visits made by the Insect pulp-gatherers, I counted carefully the scars within several square Inches of surface, and therefrom estimated the number within a square inch around the entire girth of the pole. Thence I roughly calculated that at least 40,000 visits had been made tor wood-fibre. Some of these were made by yellow-Jackets and brown wasps, but most of them from hornets by tbe study nest, as could be deter mined by the direction of the insects' flight. One must also consider that in many cases the scraped surface had been gone over more than once, so that the estimate is probably below rather than above that mentioned. There were several similar poles in the vicinity, all more or less thus marked, the one nearest to the above quite as freely. Even from this in adequate estimate one can see the enormous Industry of our colony. Dr. H. C. McCook, in Harper's Mag' azine. WISE WORDS. An optimist is one who keeps alive the joy derived from common things, We should not be with wicked men as their companions, but as their physicians. Religion may become an escape from duty, rather than its inspiration and fulfillment. The trouble with many upllfters is that they love their notions more than the people. "It abldeth alone" explains away some lives. They have never learned the law of service. Virtue, like health, Is usually un conscious ot itself. The best way to save time is to lose some ot it in prayer. It's easy making light of sorrow when it's not our own. The church will have trouble In drawing men so long as it thinks more of drawing them than of help ing them. Success is not in making mistakes, but In making the most of them. The saddest people are those who are trying to pump happiness out ot the cisterns of amusement. An ignorant man's practice of piety does more good than tbe most learned man's philosophy of religion. He is proficient in self-denial who can silence the mean things he had thought ot saying of another. Nature provides that if we make life a dream of pleasure we shall awaken by stubbing the toe on a pain. ( -Some think that when they've rounded off the corners of rottenness they've polished impurity into purity. When you go out in another's wis dom dressed, be sure that truth will blow and you will stand a fool con fessed. Home Herald. Cost of Eggs.

"About four yean ago I had a very se vers attack of inflammatory rheumatism. My skin peeled, and the high fever played havoo with my hair, which cams out in bunches. I also had three large bed sores on my back. I did not gain very rapidly, and my appetite was very poor. I tried many 'sure cures' but they were of little help, and until I tried Cuticunt Resolvent I had had no real relief. Then my com plexion cleared and soon I felt better.

While the transmission of pictures by wire has reached a high degree of perfection in the process of Prof. Korn, which depends upon the vary ing electric resistance of the selenium cell under changing light,' the send ing of photographs and drawings by wireless telegraphy Is in an Incipient stage. In the method of H. Knudsen, the photograph has its dark parts brought into relief by dusting the usual negative with some powder, like iron filings, which adheres only to the dense portions. The transmit ting apparatus consists essentially of a clockwork driven carriage, which move9 a style backward and forward until it touches every part of the pic ture once, and as the raised surface is met the style Is pushed up slightly, thus closing the grip In a relay cir cuit . The-, relay current causes an Induction coll to transmit an electric wave. The receiver Is a similar In strument In which the style, normally! raised, Is depressed, whenever" the electric wave acts upon the coherer, and thus closes a suitable circuit, Perfect synchorlzlng Is ensured by causing the wave from the transmit ter, to staTt the carriage of the re ceiver at the beginning of each new stroke.
