AUTOMATIC BALANCES.
Weighing Apparatus That Performs Ita
Work Unaided.
, Two French Inventors have recently
applied for letters patent in the United
HlnCin for au Invention which la to
greatly improve weighing apiwratu
now lu use.
The weight of any article can be de
termined w 1th this new apparatus with
an exactueiw depending ou the degree
of Kfiislhlllty of the apparatus, which
run be lucreuned at will. Tbe weight
may be read without any eparnte op
eration on the graduutcd K-alc pro
vided for that purpose. The operation
can be performed automatically and
without any special action of the
liner. From an interview had with
both the Inventors there appoint to be
no other device of a similar nature In
existence, either lu France or tbe Unit
ed State.
Simultaneous with the foregoing the
same persons Invented an Improve
ment In automatic calculators, to be
used In connection with the automatic
balance above referred to, as well as
with any other system of balance lu
which equilibrium I obtained by the
aid of a traveler moving along a beam.
It may alao be provided with an ap
parntu for printing and Issuing cards
or tickets ami for keeping a record, as
well ss for a totalizing device. Con
sular Iteport.
Machine Tested File.
The testing .of file hit been leas
simple than one would expect, and ma
chine testing, substituted a few years
ago for hand tenting by expert1 work
men, haa glveu results fur from uni
form. It bus condemned umny file
known to be good. At last It was de-
ided to test the machine itself, and
rrofeHBor W. Kipper, British engineer.
reorts that many experiment have
been mado and that some have given
uormal results, while others have
showu extraordinary difference lu the
cutting power of flies appearing to bo
exactly alike and even of the opjioslto
aides of tbe aume tile. The conclusion
has been reached that filing lu ono
groove seems occasionally to develop
a resistant glnse ou the work, prevent
ing further cutting or at least retard
ing It To remedy this the machine
hna been given an addition causing the
fllo to change it path from stroke to
Rtroke, as In hand Sling, and the re
sult Is much greater apparent accuracy
in Hie testa uiude.
Wast In the Coal Bill.
One pound of coal may bo tuken to
have Inherently 10,000 work units. Of
these 10.000 (Misslble work units 300
are wasted In the ash pit. l.HOO In the
stack. 500 In bunking flres, 800 in radia
tion and miscellaneous losses. In other
words, In the boiler room 3,(fc.H) work
uults are wasted. In the engine room
70 more work units arc lost bv radia
tion of beat from the pipes and 4,710
work units are sucritlced In the con
denser, so that the total engine room
loss 1 5,180 work units. Iu other
words, only 1,200 work units are ac
tually usable out of tho possible 10.-
000 work units In a pound of 'coal.
One-fifth of the coal bill is paid simply
to produce a draft In the smokestack.
Purifying Water.
Dr. II. V. Harding observes In a re
cent report published in the t.nncet
that most waters If treated with one
part of chlorine per million for fif
teen minutes would be free from the
cholera vibrio, lu sistte of its irri
tating properties, chlorine In such mi
nute quantities Is not likely to affect
the pnlntnliility of drinking water, so
that this method of purifying water
should be of considerable Industrial
value.
Harbor Works In Italy.
The Italian minister of public works
Is reported to have approved the plans
