How IT IS TO BE APPLIED TO RUNNING STREET CARS—A SECOND COUSIN TO PERPETUAL MOTION ONLY FIVE CENTS A DAY TO RUN A STEANBOAT.

Mr. Alva H. Doane will commence run- ning electrical street ears at Cincinnati in afew days. He says he can run a steam- boat at a cost of five cents a day. Respect- ing the street ears and the method of work. ing them, a reporter of the Cincinnati

tached tothe back axle a cog wheel 16 inches in diameter, by which the power is cemmunicated to the car wheels. This cog wheel is adjusted te another ene-seventh its diameter, which is termed the moter, and connects with the generator either by its shifting or otherwise. There is one revolution of this motor to ten ef the gen- ergtor, which gives 70 revolutions of the generator to one of the car axils. The generator consists of one wheel of emery and one of steel, with their peripheries in contact, and revolving toward each other. What is applied in the way of pressure to the wheels te cause friction, or by what, whether by copper brushes or otherwise, the current was received was not explained, and it is not important. In what manner also the positive and negative currents thus generated are to bs applied te the motor,

explained. Such an application resulting in motion has been for a long time an accomplished fa:+; anc in regard te the degree of power involved, when Mr, Ever- ett affirms that a single drop of water will contain the electric energy of a thunder- bolt, sufficient to scatter the strorgest tow- ers, and bring them toppling to the earth there can, of course, be no doubt that sufficient can be obtained from the emery and steel wheels semehow. The remark- able feature of the invention appeared to be in the fact that this generator is run by the revolutions of the very car axles which they are asumed to keep in motion, On reception of this information, the press reporter having some suspicion of the inven- tion’s kinship to perpetual motion enter- prises, whistled softly and inquired, ‘¢ When a car stops, supposing it will ever run, what is to start it again?’ “ Oh, this isn’t any perpetual motion business,” re- plied the inventor. There isa pedal at- tached to the generator, and the manager of the car can revolve it with his foot. A dozen revolutions will start the car, and then with the electric capacity on hand it eontinues to run itself. “‘ Why, if it runs it is simply immense, and if it continues to run it is too stupendous in its results for any but the most comprehensive minds to grasp !” exclaimed the reporter as he *ade the inventor good-bye. He saw, in imagina- tion, as he wended his way homeward, one of those street cars with an electric motor attached, and from which the conductor had fallen, going along Broadway at the rate of amilea minute, gathering momentum as it moved, with axles ablaze, and its in- mates paralyzed with fright, knocking men, women and children on its way, a perfect besom of destruction. For it seems quite apparent that the faster the axle revolved the faster the generators will cause them to turn, so that the eventual speed of this forthcoming electric carriage uncontrolled is terrible to contemplate.

The English War Department has decided that all newly appointed military officers must have a knowledge of the French lan- guage. The ability of the German officers te understand and speak French gave the Ger- |mans an immense advantage in the late war |with France. The lesson was so obvious thz« at the close ef the war all French officers were required to learn the German language, and now the English Government has deter- mined that its officers must at least be ac- quainted with French, which is the inter- national language of the continent.

The troubles in North Africa seem te be taking the aspect of a religious war or re volt of Mohammedans against Christian domination. Letters, it is said, were sent , last year from Mecca, urging all Mohame- pees to rise and throw off the,Christian . yore.

Enquirer says: ‘* There is simply to be at-|

the smaller cog-wheel mentioned, was not’!

Sayivg this, he walked deliberately into

‘the captain’s quarters, where a fire was burning on the hearth, and placed in its hottest center a powder canister, and in- stantly retreated. There was but. one mode of egress from the quarters, and that was upon the parade ground, the road being built up for defence ; the occu- , pant toek one look at the canister to com- /prehend his situation, and in a moment i dashed at the door, but it was fas'ened on the outside.

‘¢ Charley, let me out if you love me!” shouted the captain.

‘* Thpit on the canithter ?” shouted he in return.

Not a moment was to be lost; he ‘had at first snatched up a blanket to | cover his egress, but now, dropping ‘it, he raised the wirdow, and out he bounded, sans everything but a very short under-garment, and thus, with hair almost on end, he dashed upon a full parade-ground. “The shouts which hailed him brought out the whole bar- racks to see what was the whole matter, and the dignified captain pulled a ser- geant in front of him to hide himself.

“Why didn’t you thpit on it?’ in- quired the lieutenant.

‘* Because there were no sharp-shoot- ers in front to stop a retreat,” answered the captain.

‘* All I’ve got to thay, then, ith,’ said the lieutenent, ** that you mighs thafely have done it; for I'll thware there wathn’t a thingle grain of powder in ii.” The captain has never spoken of pervous- ness siuce.

A brilliant correspondent of the Put- nam (Conn.) Patriot, who evidently ijeares little about agricultural matters, |suggests the following themes for dis- /cussion by Farmers’ Clubs: * Why do | not cows sit down to rest as well as dogs? | Why does a dog turn around a few times before he lies down? Why does a cow get up hind endjfirst and a horse fore end first? Why does a squirrel! come down atree head first? Why does a mule kick with its hind foot, and a sheep with its fore foot?”

An independant cable is to be laid from Germany to Valencia, and thence to the United Staies. The enterprise 1s ‘undertaken by the German Telegraph Company and the German Union Com- pany, and will entail a cost of £165,000.

The Newfoundland Railway is expect- ed to render accessible for farming pur- poses no less than five million acres of excellent land, clothed with valuable pine forests.

At the Toronto General Hospital a young man’s leg was lately amputated at the hip by a platinum wire raised to a white heat by an electric current. The great heat con- tracted the ends of the arteries as the limb was cut by the wire, so that it was neces- sary to tie che larger ones only. Amputa- tion and other operations have long been performed with platinum instruments kept at the proper heat by means of Benzoline gas.
