THE DAILY EXAMINER, CHARLOTTETOWN JULY 7, 1897

THE TWO- MINUTE MARK,

(Chicago Chronicle.)

Some time during the present season John R. Gentry, king of sidewheelers, will be sent after the two-minute mark. He will not only actempt to lower all pacing records, bat will make a strong effort to sjeb a mile well withing 120 seconds. To secure the best results a sulky having a large sereen behind it will be dragged along by ateam of swift racers. It is hoped this singular device will eaable the horse to accomplish the feat,

The advantage claimed for the ecreened

sulky is that it will cut off the wind, and

also, by the formation of a partial vacuum,

pacers shield the racer from the resistance of the air, and he pedal faster with The St. Louis effort to follow an engine screened as Genctry’s sulky will be made the proposed trial a certainty. unsettled. The | be badly handicapped by the

The project does not meet with approval

on the part of many sportsmen. They maintain thatan athlete should only win by his own unaided efforts They o! pct so accessories Which reduce the resistances

of fiature. Horses, they assert, should come underthe same rule. The aniimal snould not gei any record that is made be- }cause it would be the result of the com- bined efforts of the three horses. In a race this rule would apply, tut as an exhibition of speeding it is diflicuit to find satis- )factorv reasoningon which io base any criticism. The tal will probably come ett some time in August, and is awaited with interest.

So many things heve combined to re- duce trotting and pacing records since Dexter’s 2.17 was the mark that it is doffi- cult to fix the limit of perfection in tbe horse. Breeding has been so successfnlly carried on that American trotters and paces lead the world both in records and races won; 2.40 in a roadster now would be held a moderate performance. Light shoes bave stopped lameness and the pneumatic eulky has revolutionized the speed ring. Now all that remains is to prevent the interference ofthe wind. This is the purpose of the screen Gentry will trail.

IN THE STATES.

The general business outlook, says Henry Clews, grows increasingly hopeful. Many manutacturers arealready sufficiently satisfied with the probable details of the new tarifito begin operations upon an extended scale, and in the larger industries the resumption of full work is becoming comparatively general. In city mercantile circles also a marked improvement of tone begins toappear. It comes too lave to materially increase the volume of the Summer business; but it is having a wholesome effect upon the confidence and expectations ef distributers in respect to the falltrade. The reports and orders sent by commercial travelers show such an improvement that they are receiving instructions to prolong tieir stay in the interior; all of which goes to strengthen mercantile expectations as to the yolume of trade during the second half of the year.

PHOTOGRAPHING A SHOT. Wonderful Experiments In Determining the Time of a Flash of Electricity.

Recent achievements in the moving photography that has produced the ani- matograph, biograph, cinematograph and other representations of motion are not more wonderful than the lately per- fected photography of the flying bullet. Professor C. Vernon Boys, F. R. 8., has worked on this seemingly unsolvable problem with great success, as have also two Italian artillery officers.

In the course of a lecture on the sub- ject, Mr. Boys demonstrated that the ordinary notion that an electric spark is instantaneous Was quite erroneous and gtated that the light of the two ends of the ordinary electric spark lasted a lit- tle less than the one-hundred thousandth part of a second. It was, of course, in- stantaneous to our senses, but to tests which could measure accurately to the one-hundred millionth part of a second the electric spark was anything but in- stantaneous. This spark wus no good for taking the photograph of a flying bullet, as the lecturer showed by exhib- iting one of his attempts, which made quite a blurred picture.

Mr. Boys then proceeded to explain the steps which he took in order to re- duce the length of time of the electric spark. To this end it was essential that the terminais should be made of copper, platinum or some metal which did not produce readily an ignitible vapor, and the electric current must not be driven through wires at all. He used a very thick, brcad band of copper, not more than two inches leng, which reached around the edge of the plate, so that the electric current had not more than three or four inches to go altogether. He explained by diagrams how he had effected his object and shortened the time of the spark to about one-thirteen millionth of a second, or about 100 times quicker than the ordinary flash.

To give the audieuce some idea of the inifinitesimal fraction of time, he said the time occupied by the spark as re- duced by his apparatus was proportion- ately as much less than a second asa second was less than five months, and during that time a bullet fired from a magazine rifle could not travel more than one five hundredth part of an inch. By this simple contrivance he was able to get a brighter and shorter spark and all that was necessary to make a good and sharp picture.—New York World
