last a champion has arisen who Is to care for the tired fingers of pretty typewriters. Many people seem to think the typewriter irl takes life ea.sy, without giving a single thought to a sort of paralysis of the fin

gers which is sure to come if the keys of the machine are hammered long enough. But now Robert Barclay, an inventor, of Green Bay, Wis., lias contrived a simple little machine which, when used by the typewriter, counteracts the effect of the work on the machine and so prevents that form of paralysis, of which cramped fingers and a numbness of the hands are the first invariable symptoms. Many a pretty typewriter, otherwise a perfect type of womanhood, bemoans the fact that her daily work over the keyboard of the machi-r has apparently ruined the shape of hey fingers and given to what was originally a long, slender, well formed hand an unnatural thickness and blunted the fingers, besides ruining the nails. The practical value of Mr. Barclay's Invention having been demonstrated, the wonder is it was not thought of before. In appearance this "exerciser," as the inventor calls it, resembles a email, oval shaped rubber bulb, which just fits into the hand. A short rubber tube extends from one end of the bulb to a rubber band which is fastened about the wrist. This band is double, and the outer band is punctured with numerous small holes which allow the air within the bulb to escape •when the hand is closed. When the hand is opened the air is drawn into

hand, the muscular action required to force the air from the bulb giving the necessary exercise. On the same principle Chat a person \vho sits all ilay finds reBt and relief in a walk, so the exercise of one set of muscles in the hand rests and brings relief to another set which may be overworked, and no ill effects are felt.

tieij of fleh during a summer's dredging, but It has been m&nr yean since so rare a fish was caught as the one calling forth this a^Uole. On Sept. 18, 1896, while fishing on the bankB some twenty-eight miles south-southwest of Cape Flattery In the schooner Wenoma, Capt. Jacobson caught a strange and uncommonly beautiful flslh In eighty-five fathoms of water. The fish is 26% inches long, 17 inches deep, and about four inches thick. It weighs twenty pounds, and in high coloring surpasses nearly every other fish of the ocean. The top of the head Is a brick red, the back is a metallic blue, shading to an aluminum color on the belly. The mesian line is strongly arched and marked by a series of large scales. The whole fish is covered with pure white round spots. The fins are strong-spined and extend nearly the whole length of the fish. The long spine of the dorsal is ten inches In length. The tail is lunate. The color of the fins is bright vermlilion. edged with sulphur yellow. The mouth is small and toothless, the lower lip protruding and of a Vermillion color. The eyes are large and round. None of the books on fishes in the libraries of the University of Washington or the Young Naturalists' Society give any description of this new visitor of the finny tribes. The nearest descriptions found in the books are of two celebrated fishes of the Atlantic ocean. One of these Atlantic forms is

the Opah King fish, which Is deBorlbed as a great delicacy, but it is so rare that not many have had an opportunity of trying It. But one of the nearest

lantic. This is a highly prized food fish, but it is never taken in quantity. This specimen was brought to Seattle and found its way into the museum of the Young Naturalists' Society, where it was photographed, its colors carefully noted, and then preserved in formalin, the new and valuable preservative. Further examination of the fish has led some of the looal scientists to believe that the new fish belongs to the genus "Lampris," and is therefore a true Opah, but it is undoubtedly a new species, very different from the Atlantic Opahs.

Here on Puget sound, where all the natural history is so new and attractive to scientists, it has been quite common to find from five to, ten new.

Ray* and Tuborcnlo»lg.

Exhaustive experiments with rays on the germs of tuberculosis have been reported to the French Academy of Science. A number of guinea pigs* were Inoculated with tuberculosis virus. Half of them wore subjected to the rays every day for eight weeks. Both lots were treated precisely alike, with the exception of the application of the rays. At the end of the experiment it was found that the guinea pigs treated with the rays were In excellent health and had grown fat. The others had developed abBcesees and were evidently ailing. It is a fact long established that light kills certain sorts of germs. It may be that in this wonderful discovery a cure for or mitigation of this dread disease has been found. Certainly it would seem to be in order to pursue this subject with a good deal of earnestness. Tuberculosis patients might be put under the rays with a view to ascertaining their effect upon the human organization. If rays kill tuberculosis germs, a discovery has been made that will rank with anything ever developed in the study of medical science.

There are and have been filters and filters, many-of them utterly worthless, and most of them but a poor apology for the work they claim to do. What is known as the Panteur system is highly spoken of, as it is conclusively proven that many contagious diseases have boon almost if not altogether checked by its use. In India, whore cholera has flourished for many years, the health of the inhabitants has improved wonderfully and the death rate has decreased since the Pasteur filter has been Introduced. The filter plant, while it is not especially complicated, is complete and thorough. The minutest flaw in the pipes and ceils can be immediately detected, as compressed air tills certain portions of the pipes ''tiring the clear I ni* process.

TBSLA'S NEW INTERRUPTER.

An Electrical Current Broken 80,000,000 Times Second. Nikola Tesia, the great electrician, haa just taken outS patents for a device for producing almost Incalculable electrical vibrations, and the Electrical Review gives a full description of the invention and its UBes. It was by the use of this device that Mr. Tesla has been able to demonstrate the scientific possibility of producing brilliant illumination by means of vacuum tubes that were not in mechanical contact with the electric source. Under the influence of a current of electricity interrupted 60,000,000 or 80,000,000 times a second the tubes with which Mr. Tesla was experimenting burst into brilliant white light, which was demonstrated by photography to be much more powerful than the arc electric light, although the tubes were entirely disconnected and stood so far away from the exciting coils that Mr. Tesla sat in a large armchair between the tubes and the coil while he was photographed by the light of the tubes. No such effect has ever been produced by any other means, and this gives only a rough indication of the ways in which Mr. Tesla's latest patented device may be of use in the arts. For the production of Roetgen rays, the making of ozone and argon, and for electro-therapeutic treatment, the new device will find immediate use. The Interruption of electrical currents for the purpose of breaking these currents into electrical waves or vibrations has heretofore been a mechanical operation. In its simplest this is done by the commutator or vibrating armature of the Rumfkoff induction coil. The vibrations of such an armature or even of the needle with which the armature has been replaced in some devices, must be confined within the narrow limit of a few hundred to the second. Rotating interrupters, connecting and breaking the electrical circuit, with a change in the position of their teeth as they revolved, added much to the number of interruptions which could be obtained, but even their best speed bore but a pitiful relationship to the 100,000,000 or more vibra^tlons a seoond which Mr. Tesla calculates that he has obtained from his device.

The simplicity of the latter is one of its remarkable features.

SPIRAL APPROACH.

Very Peculiar Structure Ercctcd Hasting)), Minn. Hastings, Minn., is a town that boasts of a high wagon bridge, the first of its kind ever built in this country and probably the only one of its kind in the world. Its peculiar feature is the spiral approach at the south end. On account of the great height of the channel span of 380 feet—which is placed fifty-five feet above high water mark—it was necessary to have a very long approach at either end in order to avoid a steep grade. The town being close to the river, it would have been necessary to run a straight approach to such a distance as to spoil the looks of the business streets. In order to overcome this difficulty It was decided to make use of a corner lot 60x120 feet, adjoining the foot of Sibley street, and to build thereon a spiral approach. Beginning at the heart of the city the approach starts with a rise of seven and threefourths feet to the 100, forming an earth grade banked between massive retaining walls 120 feet long. The spiral, built of steel, begins at the end of this drive and winds its way with a curve of sixty feet, with a grade of five feet to the 100, for a distance of 385 feet then striking again a straight approach from the point where the spiral ends, there Is a rise of six feet to the 100 for a distance of 120 feet, to the beginning of the channel span. ThiB span Is 380 feet long from center to center of end pins. Beyond is another 120-foot span then twenty-one spans of thirty-three feet each, terminating with an approach of 172 feet, making a total of 970 feet. The large span of 380 feet is built to carry 256 tons, besides its own weight, and the smaller span more in proportion. The bridge is built throughout in a very substantial manner. The iron work of north approach rests on well-constructed masonry pedestals, which have a con-

NEW HIGH BRIDGB

crete footing averaging nearly two feet thick and six feet square. Foundations of the large river pier, carrying 380 and 120-fooi. spnns, were laid by means of a caisson, the river being at a very low stage. On the north side of the river all the masonry was placed on solid roek and the iron work tied to the rock bv heavy anchor bolts. The joists which carry the onk floor and sidewalks are Of .first-class white pine later they may he replaced by steel joints If desired. In the large span the entire floor is steel, except the planking which forms the surface.
