Recent Events and Progress Made
Wireless Dispatches from Trains.
I " I and New York Central railroads
1 I hu decided to lnata.ll a wireless
telegraph system on Its lines be
tween Chicago and New York.
Experiments to demonstrate the efficiency
and vulue of such an apparatus have been
In course of completion fur several months.
Stations will be erected Just outside of
Several of the largest cities along the lines
of the two railroads, 'and the first ubs of
the system will be In effecting communica
tion between inevlng trains and the various
stations, the signal towers and the train
dispatchers. It Is expected to Install In
struments first In the trains of the Twen
tieth Century Limited and the other limited
trains of the two systems and make them
available to passengers on the trains, in
connection with the Innovation It Is ex
pected to ua the wireless system In the
operation of train a A device Is said to
have been perfected which will connect the
system with the cabs of locomotives and
with the signal lights on the semaphores
so that the positions of the signals will be
Indicated in the cabs.
The advantage of such a device In case
of storm or obstruction Is evident. The
signals will be arranged, it Is stated, so
that warning will be given the engineer
should any obstruction with wheels be on
the track ahead. The value also of the
establishment of communication between
trains and dispatches la apparent, and if
effected will practically result In greatly
reduced casualties.
More than three years ago the passenger
departments of the Milwaukee grand trunk
rouds demonstrated the feasibility of using
wli-elvss telegraphy from moving trains.
Vpon the occasion of their running a spe
cial from Chicago to Portland nirssages
were sent and received with facility upon
the train while it was traveling at the rate
of sixty, miles an hour.

In a recent lecture before the German
Shipbuilding society Prof. F. Braun. the
noted Inventor of one of the German sys

are similar phenomtna, and while different
In quantity are Identical In quality. He was
particularly moved to make this assertion,

plished great things. In the department
of electricity the brothers Siemens made
wonderful discoveries.
Three men, however, made possible the
connection between optics and electricity.
These were the Englishman Maxwell, the
German Herts, and the American Teals.
Maxwell, who was undoubtedly the great
est mathematical genius of the last cen
tury, solved the problem from the mathe
matical side by establishing a few and en
tirely logical formulae nnd laws on the
probable nature of light waves, which
later, by practical application, were bril
liantly confirmed. According to Maxwell's
theory, light waves, those Infinitely fine
molecules filling both atmosphere and
other matter, are In a condition to produce
Vertical vibrations of every desired longi
tude and amplitude. For all these waves
should be considered the general principle,
that they move with a rapidity of 186.4U
miles per second. Furthermore, every other

phenomena, also moving with the same
rapidity, must appear similar, and as elec
tricity does so, according to Maxwell's
theory and experiments, the conclusion
must be drawn that electricity and light
are transverse vibrations of the atmos-
Jjhere, in- fact, are almost Identical.
Herman physicist Hertz In fact
demonstrated that the electrical waves,
which for example are emitted from a
powerful Inductor, were certainly the
wave vibrations of an unknown medium.
He shewed furthermore that these waves
followed the same laws of refraction, of
reflection, of polarization, and Interfer
ence as do light and heat waves. Par
ticularly well known Is the Herts concave
mirror. When one places two parabollo
concave mirrors opposite each other, so
that their optical axes come together, alt
the rays of whatever kind, reflected from
the center of the hollow mirror are united
In the focus of the other hollow mirror.
If, then, one puts a watch In the focus of
the one mirror, ono can hear the ticking; in

What he7uTnd Played.
Once during his second term, Grover
Cleveland was asked to speak at a func
tion In a certain town, und, when he ar
rived at the depot the wind was blowing a
gale, aleet was driving and hailstones nearly
aa large as marbles were fiercely falling.
Of course the Inevitable brass band was
there, and at the sight of the president the
performers struck up with all the strenu
oHlty at their command. 'That Is the most
reallsllo music I ever heard," remarked
Cleveland. "What ure they trying to play?"
asked Secretary Olncy, who accompanied
him. " 'Hall to the Chief!' " replied the
president with a cheerful smile. Collier's

the focus of the other, although they are
wide apart. Also If one places a glowing
metal globe in the focus, one can appar
ently light a cigar on the clear air, be
cause all the warm rays emitted from
the globe are united at this point. If one
puts a burning light In the one mirror one
can see the exact reproduction of this light
in the other, with the aid of a pane of
subdued glass. But if one places, as first
done by Hertz, a glowing electrode in the
focus, an electroscope put in the other
mirror shows such a strong electrical
charge that one can draw electrical sparks
out of it. By this experiment the similar
ity of the heut, light and electricity was
established.

Circumlocution.
The late Bishop Elder of Cincinnati wul
born in Baltimore und a Baltlmorean said
of him recently:
"From his childhood Bishop Elder had
the gift of direct and forcible speech. I
once congratulsted him on the possession
of this gift, praising direct diction and'
condemning circumlocution, whereupon he
said:
" 'Circumlocution, though you condemn It,
baa Its use. It Is a fine Instrument where
with to soften harsh, unpleasant farts.'
There are many casea where circumlocution
Is valuable.

as to the adaptability of electric power on
the farm and its cost in machinery and
electric current. A year ago three farm
ers had Installed the service. The increase
Is owing to the success that has been dem
onstrated since the first man set his mo
tor going. Nearly all of these farmers
dairymen, keeping as high as sixty-five
head of cows, the product of which Is
hauled to the condensing plants. The use
of electric power was primarily to cut the
feed for the dairy animals, but it is now
Utilized for many other purposes.
In the farm yards have been built mo
tor houses six feet wide and long and
eight feet high. These are made at gal
vanized iron and in most cases located
about twenty feet away from the barn.
The belt is connected with a shaft which
In some instances runs the entire length
of the barn, operating a variety of ma
chinery. -
Theodore Schramer, who owns a 409
acre farm, thrashed a big corn orop with
electric power. The thrasher was set out-

ored man who called on him for legal ad
vice at Columbia, Tenn.; The elder of his
church had advised his wife to get a di
vorce from him. and the negro asked: "If
a elder come foolln' roun' you all's house
mlxln' up trouble, advlsln' yo' wife f'r to
git a divorce, what'd you do?" "Take a
shotgun and kill him, most likely," replied
young Carmack. "Kill him kill a elder!
I'en what de law do?" exclaimed the client.
"Oh, hang you, probably." For a full mln
Ute the negro was silent. Then In great dis
gust he turned to go. As he shuffled along
down the steps he turned a perplexed e.
on the lawyer and said: "Fur tho tawd's
sake, Mr. Carmack, what so't 'lomey Is
you, anyhow?"

A Philadelphia school mlsirers was giving
her pupils Instruction In the elements or
physiology, and among other things told
them that whenever they moved an arm 01
a leg It was in response to a message from
the brain. "The brain always sends a mes
sage to your arm or your leg whenever you
wish to move the particular member," she
explained.
At last a mischievous boy aroused 'her
anger by his apparent Inattention to the
lesson.
"Hold out your hand!" she exclaimed.
The boy did not move.
"Why don't you hold out your hand?"
satd the teacher.
"I'm waiting for the message from my
brain," the lad replled.-I'hiUdulphla Ledger.

Electricity
side the barn, where It was surrounded by
stacks of corn fodder hauled from the
fields. The chopped leaves, stalks and
husks were blown Into the barn and the
husked ears loaded Into a wagon, all by
electric power.
W. C. Kenyon, the first man to make
the experiment, has a corn husker and a
corn , thrasher, a feed mill, circular saw
mill and a big grindstone all on the same
floor. By the same power the shelled corn
is elevated to the floor above.
Mr. Kenyon stables sixty-five head of
oows, and his -motor is sufficient in power
to cut all the feed required for the entire
herd besides cutting his firewood. He
grinds fifty bushel baskets of corn In an
hour, the grinder grinding up corn and
cob Into a meal that makes a deslrabls
food for dairy oows. He cuts up three
loads of wood in an hour.
J. M- Fletcher carries his shelled corn
from ths big husker to a oornmlll, and it Is
reduced to meal at the same time the fod
der Is being thrashed. He finds he Is able to
thrash three big wsgonloads In an hour and
half, and In that time he has ground up
thirty-five sacks of meal.
Up to this time all of ths farmers, being
largely engaged In dairy farming, are dolus;
about ths same thing with their motors
namely, the reducing of unhusked corn fod
der to cow feed. All of them will add ma
chinery as they may want It. All of ths
motors, save one, are of fifteen horse
power and cost from 1500 to $600. The motor
houses cost from 125 to 835 and the shafting
from 175 to $100.
The company provides each motor with a
meter, and the charge for current used hns
been fixed at 4 cents per 1.000 kilowatts, so
the patron pays for what he uses. At this
rste one of the farmers got monthly bills
as follows. 8525. 6.40. $6.4o, $5.24 nnd $4.Ao.
Ills total rost for power for five months In
which he had thrashed or hiifked his com,
ground his mi-nl, cut up his firewood and
ground his farm tools was $2 OS.
The dairymen report no trouble In operat
ing their motors. The men who set up the
machines how them how to start, stop anl
keep them In order. Most of the motors
havo been set on roncrete foundations, ansj
Ihey have all the equipment required for
the operation.
For years inventors have been endeavor
ing to Invent a windmill that would gen
erate electricity, but the trouble has been
the object could not be accomplished with
out the use of a storage battery, and this
would render the eontrivojtce too expensive.
The dinpoaltlon of the electrlo railway peo
ple to engage In the supplying of not only
the current but the motors at a reasonable
price lias lxn the stimulus In inducing the
agili ulturlste to take hold of the matter. It
Is claimed the motors that have been put tn
sre poworful enough to handle all lbs '
f a tOO-aor farm.
