The present generation lias scon so
many wonderful inventions of science
and BO many remarkable nppllanccs to
meet the various needs of human lifo
thut the faculty of wonder has almost
lost its use. Nowadays wo are surprised
nt nothing. What would liavo been n
matter of the wildest romance to our
fathers is accepted by us not only as
plausible * and passable , but oa n direct
suggestion for immcdiato carrying out.
It was not so lone ago that the orcatura
of a novelist's vivid imagination the
submarine propeller in Jules Vornc's
"Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the
Sea" was us much like n. contrivance
of fairyland na is Aladdin's lamp , says
ho Boston Ilorald. To-day it is a real
ized conception. It was only a Jew
years ago that our grandfathers spurned
with dorlsion the idea of being drawn
along upori smooth rails at a high rate
of speed by the ihbn recently invented
crude steam cngino. Similarly incred
ulous ancestors had the pleasure of
laughing at the idea of thcro being any
posstbilityof catching , much loss em
ploying for practical purposes , the
lightning of their thunder-storms.
"Within the , last fifty years , however ,
such marvelous advancements liavo
been made in all appliances that wo
have ceased to bo astonished at any
thing newly proposed , liowovor improb
able it may scorn upon its first presenta
tion.
NOTI1INCJ 8EU3I8 IMPOSSIBLE.
It is only the discovery of now ways of
accomplishing which Inmior us.
There was a mooting yesterday after
noon in the historic chamber of the Old
South church , and the relics of bygone
people and ago , at which was presented
a scheme almost as startling in its
novelty , and almost equally simple
when explainedna thai of tlio telephone.
A largo number of business men and
scientists , who had come together to in
vestigate the now scheme , were gath
ered about in curious inspection of a
singular-looking structure which was
stretched along the length of the old
hall. This structure had the appear
ance of a miniature single-track elevated -
vatod railway of a now design. It was ,
in fact , a working modal of the nowly-
invcntod port-electric system of rapid
transportation , the Inventor of which ,
Mr. John T. "Williams , was present , to
explain the system. After his explana
tion the only real wonder which re
mained to his hearers , as is almost al
ways the case , was that HO simple a
thing should never have bcon thought
of before. Indued , us Prof. Dolbcarc ,
who also gave the benefit of his export
electrical knowledge to the explanation
of the now system , remarked , it has
bcon thought of before by Dr. Page ,
of Salem , who was ono of the moat
noted electricians of his time ,
BO mo fifty years ago , but his pub
lished crude suggestion has never
been adopted nor developed by oloc-
tric.il experimenters since Mr. Will
iams conceived the present system. Wo
are familiar with many schemes for
rapid transit and transportation. The
developed railroad and the elevated
road arc but the beginnings in ono
brunch of improvement. Cable roads
rind the electric street railway form an-
bthor branch
IN TIIE MATTER OF ItAPID THANSIT ;
for swift transportation wo have the
added dovolonmont of the capabilities
Of compressed air in pneumatic tub'os.
European countries have gone ahead of
us in this matter. The splendidly
working public systems of pneumatic
Delivery tubes in Paris and Berlin , for
instance , are a model for the world.
Loiters , cards aud small parcels ctxn bo
Cent from ono part of those cities Ito an
other with almost the sumo rapidity
that a telegram is sent with us. Fur
ther than this , devcloomont of any
pi-eat importance has not boon made.
The world has been looking for some
time , however , for a solution of this
rnuid transportation problem in the ap
pliance of electricity. Its application
to street railroads in the matter of
rapid transit for short distances is as
yet far from fully developed. Indeed ,
it has not yet passed the experimental
BtntO to become a fixed practical possi
bility. Even when applied to trio al
ready convenient system of elevated
roads , which is a probable outcome of
the near future , the problem will only
htvvo bcon partially solved. In the
mutter of transportation there has boon
no proposition advanced for the employ
ment of electricity until this present
eystom , which Mr. Williams brings for
ward , was designed , and yet everyone
has felt sure that electricity was surely
the power of the future for this branch
of public traffic.
For the explanation of Mr. Williams'
fiystum , in conjunction with what the
inventor himself said yesterday "after
noon , as well as Mr. T. W. Bicknoll
and Prof. Dolbeare , it will bo well to
quote a part of an article in the last
number of the Electrical World of New
York describing fully the workings of
the port-olootric system : "Tho princi
ple of this
BYSTKM 18 A SIMl'&K ONTI ,
and consists of the well known sucking
action that a helix or coil exerts on u
rod of iron when placed near its center.
Thus , if a bar of iron or steel bo placed
with ono cud near the center of tlio he
lix , on pasbiug a current through the
latter tno bur will bo drawn in and
maintained in a central position as
long as the current continues. If now
the ourrcntbobrokonltho bar will again
bo Ireo to move , and if wo Imagine a
second helix placed in a position simi
lar to that which it llrst occupied with
relation to the bar , then on the pass-
nga of the current through this second
cell the bar will bo drawn toward that
ono and out of the first ; with a number
of helixes arranged bide by side , and
with an arrangement for making and
breaking the current at the proper
tune , it is evident that a bar of iron
could bo moved continuously in any di
rection. " Such , in fact , is the system
of Mr. Williams whiclrho has curried
Into practice in a thoroughly able
manlier.
The cur in which packages are to bo
curried reals upon a simple rail , and is
guided by small upper wheels , which
lit ail upper single track. The differ-
out holleus , as will bo roudily under
stood , are contained in a series of boxlike -
like hollow frames placed nt intervals
along the track , through the continu
ous line of which the car passes. The
car ia constructed of light hteol , which
is nmgiiotlr.cd. It thus becomes in its
relation to the different helices tlic
Biimo as tliQ bar of steel or Iron used in
experiments with coilu. The manner
iu which the car is propalled will now
bo readily understood. Assuming the
front of the car to bo the S polo , Hko
that of the simple bar of stool or iron ,
an it is drawn Into the center of the helix
it repels the S polo or a pivoted magnet
in the upper part ot each helix , forcing
it upward and bringing the end polo
down in such a way as to make the cir
cuit. The closing of thcLcircult through
the hcl'x tends to draw the car in with
sucking action. The contact of
the end polo of the -magnet with the
closed circuit is maintained up to the
lime that the center of the carriage ar
rives at n short distance from the center
of the mngnet , when the influence of
the carriage on the magnet becomes
neutralized and the contact is broken.
This malting and breaking of the cir
cuit is thus repealed as the car outers
and passes through each succeeding
coil. It is evident that if the circuit is
still maintained after the carriage had
passed the center of the helix , the ac
tion would bo lo rolnrd the motion of
the carriugo and , indeed , to stop it en
tirely for , as is well known , the auction
power of the coil is equally strougat
either entrance. In connection with
this the Electric World continues to
sny : "Tho object of breaking the con
tact a short distance before Iho center
of Iho carriage reaches Iho center of
the helix is lo avoid Iho retarding ef
fect of the carringo which would bo ex
perienced on account pf the extra cur
rent of breaking in the coil. This extra
current , being in the same direction as
the main current , would tend to drive
the carrlngo forward as long as HJwas
behind the conlor of Iho hojix ; bul it
will bo readily seen that it Iho carriage
had passed the coaler the extra cur
rent would tend to retard il in the same
way that the main current would.
"It will thus bo noted that each helix
comes into action successively , and only
ono is in action at any one time , so that
the current } s utilized to the best ad
vantage. It will readily bo understood
that when once the carriage is in mo
tion and its inertia has been overcome
comparatively litllo force will bo nec
essary lo maintain it ut speed , and this
is shown lo bo the case in Iho prcso.it
system. As a consequence the strength
pf the cells may bo considerably dimin
ished after a short distance from the
terminal station , as the power required
is diminished accordingly when the
carriage has arrived at the proper
speed. Another interesting fact in
connection with the system which wo
have had occasion to observe , and it
must necessarily follow from its con
struction , is that the current iu the
helices is considerably cut down 'by the
counter electro-magnetic fluid gcnor-
alcd by Iho passage of the carringo
through 'them , so thai , in a certain
sense , the system is self-regulating to
maintain the carriage at its proper
speed. A system of this kind must
necessarily bo provided with moans for
stopping Iho car gradually and without
jar at a terminal station , and this has
boon worked out ingeniously by
Mr. . Williams. The brake con
sists of a helix similar to
those shown , which is provided
with a contact that , unlike the others
remains closed after the carriage bus
passed the center of the helix. The
effect of this is that the car is retartcd
or pulled buck , and it is astonishing to
witness how rapidly a brake of this
kind brings the car to a standstill. "
The structure on exhibition at the
Old South was built at a considerable
grade. The distance from the starting
point is necessarily short , limited by
the length of the hall , and the power
employed iu propelling the carriugo is
of a minor quantity. Therefore , the
ultimata 'powers of the system could bo
only approximately illustrated , but its
TOACTICAWLITY WAS THOROUGHLY
PROVEN.
In regard to its application Mr. Wil
liams , in his romark3citcd Iho instance
of its use in the postal service of the
United SUitos. Ono of the great dis
advantages of Iho mail service at pres
ent is the delay in waiting for mails to
close. A business man in Boston who
writes a lotlor lo New York will often
have to wait six hours for the closing
of the mails. Similar delays of greater
or less , extent are mot with in every
postolfico in the country. With a sys
tem such us ho proposes carriages could
bo sent over the track from the Boston
otllco every five minutes through
out the day , each carrying its
quota of loiters put into the postodlco
but a few moments before. The journey
from Boston to New York , Mr. Williams
staled approximately , would take some
two hours. It might bo more or oven
less. In this regard ho made a curious
statement. Even a small shuttle-like
carriage on exhibition , weighing only
fifty-six and a half pounds , and some
four feet long , could carry 1,000 letters.
Wfth 1,000 letters dispatched every five
minutes the present daily work of the
Boston postolllco between Boston and
Now York could bo accomplished. But
in Iho construction of these curs there
is a perfect practicability in their being
twice or throe times the length of the
model , with accompanying added capa
bilities of transportation. Mr. Williams ,
in confining his illustrations of the
uses of this system to the postal sorvicc ,
is altogether modest.
IT IS RATIIBR A REVOLUTION
Iu tha whole idea of rapid transporta
tion , confined not alone to the field of
letters and small parcels , but embrac
ing an eminently possible future con
struction of a system' largo enough for
carriages of a dimension capable of
transporting passengers as well , al
though this requires something of a
flight of imagination.
As to power , that of Iho proposed sys-
torn ia an Edison incandescent circuit
of 110 volts. The resistance of the ilrst
coil amounts to twonty-fivo ohms.
There is a forty-sovonths horse power
propelling the curriugo at the start.
The coils in the model are placed two
feet apart. This nearness of coils may
bo noccseury at the start and uuou any
upgrades which might occur in n long
distance sybtcm , but on any main line
it would bo perfectly practicable for
them to bo eight , ton , or oven twenty
feet apart. In such u distance us that
from Boston lo Now York sutllciont
power could bo furnished by five or six
stations placed at equal intermediate
distances. The cost of construuling
such a system is confined relatively to
the cost of the plant , for the cost of
maintaining the power is slight. The
structure itself , simple as il is in Us de
sign , would ulso need no extended out
lay of capital. The cars and the helices
form Iho remaining details of expenses
in .tho. ilrst plant. The fenced attainable
by a car in this bystoin is almost incal
culable. As is well known in mechanics
u constant propelling force is productive
ol almost infinite velocity , obstruclcd
only by Iho resistance of friction. In
this system the only friction comes from
the air and the contact of the car with
the rails , which is slight.
Few inventions which have boon
brought to the notice of the public
within recent years have BO revolution
ary a character as this present system
of Mr. Williams. And. what is more ,
it carries with it the evidence of its own
feasibility , and acquaintance with it
alone is Bulllciont guarantee of Its es
tablishment , _

nowas the sun comes outv > ornups they
both are playing havoc among the
crowds that go up and down the onplan-

with henna. Before her a group'of '
men , young and old , fine-looking and
ugly , who rogara her as eagerly as
dogs expectant of the longed-for bono.
In every way they , ook lo atlract her
attention , but the Mauresquo does not
heed them. Farther on , iu a conical
hut , covered with skins , a rod-skinned
squaw , sitting on the ground , is mak
ing wiukor baskets. Once in a while
she lifts her black eyes in anger at Iho
crowd that stares at her. A young
French officer , in full uniform , devours
her with his eyes. But he hns not

only when ono of Buffalo Bill's cowboys

jauntily over the loft oar , their gold
embroidered vests and bronzed skins ,
they make sad havoc In the breasts of

Ono of the shnpk'fjj but yet a very
good method of preserving timber in
buildingp , such as joists , flooring , etc. ,
and ono which ought to bo moro widely

renders wood impervious to fungoid at

tar well boiled together , and painted or
poured upon the wood -until it is well
coated by It , says the Farming World.
The wood should , of course , bo thor
oughly seasoned before the mixture is
applied , as well as bo quite dry. If the
wood is heated in the sun or otherwise ,
so much the bettor , as it will absorb BO
much much moro readily the boiling

Where gravel is used /or beam filling

coated with the mixture , which , if done
properly and carefully , will keep down
