SCREW REVERSING LEVERS FOR LocoMo.
rIvEs.-The Worcester (Englsnd) Engine
company is manufacturing a large n, mber
Of locomotives for the Nicholas Railway,
Russia, to which are being attached the
screw reversing gear invented by M. A.
Alexander, Of Worcester. The value Of
the screw gear, so far as it has been intro
duced, has been highly appreciated, owing
to the accuracy and ease Of adjustment
which it is capable Of, but the great Difficult
ty hitherto encountered in its use lies in the
fact that liz cases of emergency it is impossi
to reverse with promptitude. This is olivia
ted by arranging the lever to be worked
either BY the screw or, when necessary, di.
reetly, by hand. In the latter case tht
straight cylindrical screw, which Is rigidly
fixed in the bearings at each end, acts il
the place of the common notched quadrant
The motion of the detent in the lever il
kept nearly parallel to the axis of the screw
so that the teeth Of the detent will gear
in all positions Of the lever, into the thread
Of the screw-by quite simple parable
motion arrangement Owing to this ar
rangement, together with the fact that tn
pitch line Of the detent teeth is the arc Of
large circle, about three teeth are In geaI
with the screw in every position.

capitalists 50 readily supply governments
with the sinews of war


Ii the Rothschilds had been obliged to
empty their purses to carry on the wars in
stead of filling them, many a bloody war
which has caused death, devastation and
misery widespread, would have been avert
ed. Upon the head of capital, as much as
upon the head of ambition, must rest the
curse due to the authors Of unjust wars.
Large standing armies are maintained by
governments under the deceitful plea that
it is essential to guard against possible ag-
gression from other countries; thus each
country makes the standing army Of its
neIghbor an excuse for its own, while in
truth, the real, the man motive with them
all is, each to keep its o,rn people in SUBJ
lection, and with impunity to extort taxes.
Literally, the people are forced to pay for
standing army to keep themselves in sub
lection, and to force them to submit to spo-
lation, under NINE Of taxes, and to arbi-
trary and cruel restraint.
All nations being without large standing
armies TO enforce the means for extravaganza
and mIsgovernment, all governments would
be chary of outraging the peoples rights, or
OF gross extortion. Not only would cause
less or unjustifable wars be averted, and the
immense sums expended by the military be
saved, but Europe alone would have restored
to productive industry some millions of men
Of the very best physique
Without assuming to have demonstrated
The remedy for war, we may yet hope that
the observations and suggestions here offer
ed may provoke such discussion as NAV
lead to some effective result.

that the operator may be able to-bring such
vessels into the proximity OF an enemy, bui
not himself be injured BY the explosion o.
conclusion. The tOrpedO-boats would be
movable by steam, compressed air, or SINH
lar methods. He proposes that the person
guiding the vessel should send electric cur
rents to it either through a telegraph sub
marine cable or suspended wires, and that
these currents should magnetic the cores Of
electromagnetic on board, and be proposes
to apply the power, obtained by alternately
magnetizing and demagnetizing the cores Of
magnets, to the purpose Of opening and
shutting steam-valves, and Of putting ma
chlnery into and out of gearing, and gener-
ally Of doing such work as is necessary for
guiding and maneuvering the vessel.
ACCIDENTAL EXPLOSION on BoMBs.-
Two large bomb-sheIls were among some
lots OF old iron received recently at the ma
chine shop Of John Cary. on Sussex street,
Jersey City On discovering them, the
proprietor ordered them to be thrown into the
river. This order was neglected, and, one
day last week, the shells got into the fur
mace, with other iron which was melting,
The result was a dreadful explosion, by
which one workman was killed and another
fatally injured, as is supposed, and the
house set on fire. The workman who was
instantly killed was the man TO whom the
order bad be- n given 10 remove the shells.
There were two reports heard, one following
sharply after the other. A table containing
the metal-about 400 Pounds-was thrown
80 feet across the shop. The roof and a
portion of the side of the building were
blown to pieces.
LIGHTING Gas BY ELEcrRIcIrY.-D.
Miles, Boston, Mass.-Tbis consists in
operating only one apparatus at time, two
separate wires being employed Gone to turn
on and the other TO shut off the gas), in
connection with an automatic circuit-breaker
in each apparatus. The current Of electrici-
ty passes through one wire to the electro
magnet of the first apparatus in the circuit
returning through the ground). and as soon
az the gas valve Of this apparatus has been
opened or closed the motion Of the mechan
ism connected Herewith is arrested by the
breaking Of tho circuit, the current being by
the same movement Of the automatic circuit
breaker connected with a wire leading to
the next apparatus, when the operation is
repeated, and 30 on throughout the whole
series Of lamps. Thus i will be seen that
one apparatus only is included in the circuit
at time, the breaker Of the circuit in each
apparatus serving to connect the electro
magnet with me other wire, By the current
of which the mechanism may be again Sc
in motion, the two wires being used alterna
tely one to turn on the other to shut off the
gas.

FORGIVENESS. -- A beautiful gem OF
Oriental literature is quoted by Sir William
Jones, from the Persian poet, who said:

Let who hopes 20 be forgiven,
Forgive and bless his foe"
Perfect valour consist in doing, without

WIZ AND WISDOM

Why is a young lady forsaken by her
lover like deadly weapon? Because she
is a cut-lass.
" Father said rougish boy, " | hope

time she drinks it she blows me up" Go

1t is net always mark of frankness to
possess an open countenance. An alligator

A Clergyman, in struggling to explain
the waning, vivifying influence Of divine
love in the heart Of man, at last said !:

that on the coolest winter day loving
