BRIEF REVIEW.
Automobile Street Sweeper.
1 he automobile street sweeper was
thoroughlv tested on the streets of Chi
cago ami has been also Used in diller
ent cities to demonstrate its elliciency.
1 1 was reported that in Chicago it did
the work formerly performed by an
army of "white wings," and that no
dust whatever was observable. The
dirt box has a capacity of one and one-
half cubic yards, and -VO gallons of
water are carried in the tank, which is
ullicient for an hour's run. It will
work on all kinds of streets ami when
in operation travels at the rate of six to
ten miles an hour. The big twenty-
four-horsc-power, four cylinder motor
is located in the front of the machine,
and the gasoline tank, with a capacity
f thirty-live gallons, is placed just
back of the dust elevator. The weight
of the machine when the tank is tilled
with water is T-fH) pounds. It can be
operated on the street in less space and
with greater ease than theold-fashioncd
carts and sprinkler? drawn bv horses.
Pole Star Recorder.
The polar star recorder is oneof the
most interesting instruments at the
Mine hill observatory, near Boston.
I'his instrument is the onlv oneof its
;ind. It was designed by Trofessor
C. Tickering, director of the Har
vard ob.-ervatorv, while automatic de
vices nave nceii made lor it by r.n-
giueer l-eigusson. l lie polar star
recorder is a long, focuseo camera, i
eet in focal length, ami is pointed per
manently toward the north star. Dur
ing the summer, every night at s:;0,
y means of clock mechanism attached
to the base of the recorder, the shutter
on the front of the camera opens auto
matically, and from then until dawn
the course of the star in the heavens is
recorded on a photographic llrm. The
lock arrangement can work the lens
for two weeks at a time.

Special Correspondence.
There is on exhibition at the capltol
n painting in oil of the late James G.
Blaine which is intended to replace
the crayon likeness of the deceased
.statesman which now hangs in the
speaker's lobby of the house. The
painting is by Thorpe and was exe
cuted on the order of Andrew Car
negie and other admirers of the Maine
statesman. Many years apo when
James A. Garfield was chairman of
the committee on appropriations he
attempted to have Thorpe paint a
portrait of Mr. Rlalne. but the lattei
entertained a superstition against hav
ing his portrait painted hi oils and
vetoed the movement with considerable
vlgir. Thorpe had. however, made
several sketches and had gathered
some data preparatory to beginning
the work, all of which he preserved.
When Mr. Caruegie was in Washing
Km last winter he saw 'the crayon like
ncss of Mr. Rlaiue nuiong the many
gorgeous paintings of former speakers
of the house and Inquired why "the
man from Maine" wus not similarly
depicted. On being told the reason,
he hunted up the artist, Thorpe, and
gave him an order for the portrait,
which is soon to be added to the largur
collection of oil portraits already hung
in the speaker's lobby.

rHEN Betty went to church with me
At Eastertide, she used to wear
Some fetching headdress for the day.
A rich and elegant affair.
It was a thins of loveliness
That brought admiring eyes upon it.
I cannot say, try as I may,
How dear to me was Betty's bonnet.
And now when Betty goes to church
At Eastertide she still is seen
In some creation much the same
As gave her charm at sweet sixteen.
The charm has somewhat passed away.
"Tis true, I like to sec her don it.
But 1 can tell - alas, too well -
How dear to me is Betty's bonnet 1

Antiquity of tin- Sprint? KcMivnl.
From earliest times mankind has cel
ebrated a Joyous festival at this season
of the year. Tagan nations made mer
ry at the return of the sun to the north
land when the sleeping earth awakened
after the death of winter and all na
ture had a new birth. The rude Saxon
tribes read meanings In the blossoming
flowers and the fresh beginnim? of
natural life. In Uie oitth the Tomans
made feasts, the Persians regarded the
occasion with gifts of eggs, typifying
a resurrection of the body, and, taking
all the festivals and their ir.eaniug. the
thoughtful mind can readily trace
them, leading to the great Christian
festival teaching of the eternal life of
the soul and the resurrection of man
from the dead.
