The Largest Reaper Works in
the World Sold for a Song.
One of the most important industrial
purchases of the year was consummated
at Springfield, O., Saturday. The agricul¬ East
street reaper works, the largest

size to the Krupp gunworks of capitalists
was sold to a syndicate "Chicago of and New
of Cleveland, the
York, to be used for manu¬
facture of railway cars and supplies of
all kinds. The great works are a monu¬
ment to the ambition of William N.
Whitely, the famous Ohio “reaper king,”
who determined to build the largest
reaper works in the world. He put $1,-
500,000 into the buildings and machin¬
ery. The whole plant was sold by the
receiver to a syndicate for two-thirds the
appraised price, or $300,000.

The “schiseophone” is the name giv¬
en to an instrument for discovering flaws
in metals, invented by Captain Louis De
Place of the Paris school of cavalry.
The instrument consists of a microphone
combined with a mechanical striker and
a sonometer. In using this instrument
one operator directs the striker over the
surface of the metal under examination,
while another listens at the telephone in
an adjoining roam. When the striker
hits a poipt over a flaw the sound is in¬
creased, and the increase is so magnified
by the microphone that the listener at
the telephone can detect its presence.
Tests of the instrument were made at
Ermont on the rails for the Northern
railway company, and in every case
where a flaw was indicated by the in¬
strument it was found to exist on break¬
ing the rail.
Raisins From Grapes.
Raisins are merely dried grapes pre¬
pared by several processes, but in Europe
only two are generally practised. One
of these consist ia partially cutting
through the stalk of the ripening bunches
and then allowing them to hang on the
vines until the berries shrivel and dry by
the heat of the sun. These are considered
£he best raisirs and are known as the
Muscatels. Large quantities are raised
and exported from Malaga. In the other
process the grapes when gathered are
hung on lines or spread out on drying
floors to dry in the sun. When dried
they are dipped in hot lye, to which has
been added a little olive oil and salt.
After dipping the fruit is spread out on
wicker work to drain and dry still more,
after which the raisins are stripped from
the stalks and packed in boxes. But all
the grapes from which raisins are made
are different from any of our native
species and varieties, none of which will
answer for raisins, as their pulp is not
firm and hard enough, and when we
undertake to dry them there is little left
but skin and seeds. A good raisin grape
must have a flesh of a firm consistency,
somewhat like that of a good plume or
prune, as the imported California article made is called.
The raisins of are from
the European varieties of the grape and
not from any of the American species.
Raisin grapes will not thrive in Pennsyl¬
vania unless raised under glass, against
walls, or other protected situations.—
