WAVE MOTOR TESTED. Remarkable Results Obtained by a Tah* Anffeles Inventor. A public test of a new wave motor . was made recently on the beach three miles from Redondo, OaL, from the end of a 100 foot wharf. Parvin Wright of Loe Angeles, the inventor, conducted the experiments in the presence of 20 i capitalists and inventors. By means of the float a hydraulic compressor was ac tuated, forcing the water into a pressure tank under a working pressure of 400 j pounds to the square inch. The water j pressure tank operates a Pelton wheel, which drives any kind, of machinery. - In the test an electric generator was used and a circular saw. Where the ma chinery was located, 000 feet from the: beach, with a 4 foot tide and 6 by 10 1 float, five horsepower was easily gener* I ated. The machine is automatically self regulated and is so arranged that dux- i i ing storm periods no more than a given i amount of power or pressure can be ac cumulated. Wright says the failure to provide such a device has heretofore ren- i flered all wave motors useless. Further i experiments will be made at a greater i distance from the beach. i | Wright figures that during.the mini- , mum wave movement he will develop 1 one horsepower on every foot of ocean ■ frontage used. The cost of steady power at the coast will not exceed $10 per , horsepower per annum. Power can be delivered in Los Angeles for $25, about one-third the present cost. Mr. Wright has had his wave motor patented in Germany, France and England AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY. i A New and Successful Process of Carting: I Copper Pure. The Electrical Review announces a ; discovery in the art of casting copper. I Copper is ordinarily cast by the use of j alloys. It is stated that.the new metal, which is known as M. B. copper, is oast pure. Foundrymen have heretofore con sidered this ait impossibility. It is also stated that - the new metal possesses an additional tensile strength of 88^ per-cent, and that a much high er percentage of elasticity has been de [ veloped, and that the new metal has a ! conductivity of 98 per cent as compared i with the best tolled oopper. This will ; cause distinct changes in the building of dynamos, motors, railway and tele- ■ graphic apparatus because the new cop per is believed to carry the same amount of current with one-third the amount of metal. Wire made of it will have great er strength and conductivity than the 1 ordinary copper wire. Mr. Edison says he accounts for the evident change in the atomic structure of the metal by the theory that the shape of the crystals has been altered bo that their lines are parallel, and that the molecules are thus brought closer togeth er and iiilb more intimate contact with each other. It is understood that Mr. Edison is interested in the development of this metal, and that it will be manu factured under his supervision at bis Menlo Park works. . . I A Perfect Vacuum. i An absolute vacuum, or what is be lieved to be one, was recently produced i by Professor Elmer Gates of Washing i ton by a novel method. Into a test tube made of a kind of glass which melts at a very high temperature he poured a molten glass which melts at a much lower temperature, completely filling the tube, leaving no air space. After melting this inner glass it was partially withdrawn from the tube by exhausting the air from the outer side and allowing it to flow down by gravity, but not so far but that the end of the tube was completely closed. It was then allowed to 0001. As no air could enter the space left by the withdrawal of the glass, it is believed that a perfect vacuum was obtained.—Engineering News. A BfonpolMHtow Match. It is reported that M. Pbuleaux has invented a nonpoisonous match. Potas sium permanganate and amyl acetate are among the ingredients.' At the Pas teur Lucifer Match manufactory the combination has been tested with* it is said, satisfactory results. The matches are easily made,.without the slightest I danger to the factory hands. They ignite readily, there is no danger of explosion j when stored, and the disagreeable Odor 1 common to luoifer matches is in these replaced by an agreeable one. Does Two Hundred Men's Work. • The Arbuckles have a machine for putting up coffee in two pound packages. It puts up 80,000 packages in 24 hours, or at the rate of nearly 21 packages per minute. Its work is equal to that of 200 persons working 13 hours per day and putting up a package in three minutes. The machine, with attendance, does, the work cheaper than aay human labor on earth, and we may fairly suppose that every cup of coffee is the cheaper for it. A Typewriter Improvement. Mr. Louis Sholes, son of O. Latham Sholes, the original inventor of the Remington typewriter, has perfected a machine somewhat similar to his fa ther's invention, but so arranged that all parts of a letter that has been writ ten remain in plain sight of the opera tor. This, of bourse, involves an entire rearrangement of the mechanism and the abandonment of the basket type of construction. —American Machinist Xutrftlve Value of Meat Broths.

Ans.—As there is no diffarence in the price the public will buy only the better, so that while oor profits may be smaller on a ■ingle sale they will be much greater in the aggregate? , How can you get the publio to know your make is Van best! If both articles are brought prominently before the public both are certain to be tried and the public will very quickly pass jadg. ment on them and use only the better one. This explains the large sale on Chamber lain's Coagh Remedy. The people have been using it for years and have found that it oan always be depended upon. They may I occasionally take op with some fashionable novelty put forth with exaggerated claim*, bat are certain to return to the one remedy that they know to be reliable, and for cough*, colds and croup there iB nothing equal to Chamberlain's Cougbi Remedy.
