Making Time Tables.


The following description of the appa-
ratus used by the Pan Handle road for
making time tables will be of interest ::
1t consists of q large board, down each
end of which are the names of the
stations, with their distances from the
termini and from each other given
Along the top and bottom of the board
are placed at intervals of two or three
inches the hours of the day, and these
spaces are still further divided into
twelfths, or five minutes. The end of
o thread is pinned at whatever hour
train is desired to leave-say Pittsburg-
and that thread, representing the train,
of course 1t must move to the right as 1t
is drawn down the board, giving It an
oblique direction. The hour to which
1t is pinned at the bottom represents the
time of arrival at Columbus, and it is
evident that whenever it intersects q
line drawn across the board from station
to station the perpendicular line also
intersecting that point indicates the
time of the trains arrival there. With
trains coming the other way the process
is reversed, and the intersections of the
threads represent passing points,
When the threads are all adjusted as
you want the trains to run you have q
time chart of the road (which looks q
little like a Government weather mapl,
the figures are called off, set down, and
the time table printed.

Form Of the Lightning Rod.

THE subject of the proper form of
Il lightning. conductors, long dlsput-
ed one among scientific men, has re-
Gently been experlmentally investigated
by Mr.. W. II. Preece, with the result of
confirming the position of Faraday, that
the section of rod Is the essential ele-
ment The advocates Of rods OF large
surface, such as ribbons, tubes, ETC.,
among whom was the late Professor
Henry, conclude, from the fact that
static electricity resides upon the sur
face, that electricity of high tension,
such as lightning discharge, is better
conducted away by large extent of
surface. Mr.. Preece stated that no direct
experiments had, so far as he was aware,
ever been made to settle the question,
which was an important one, as the
acceptance of the surfacestheory had led
to the employment of unsightly and
costly conductors, when simple rod
would answer all purposes. The ex-
periments were made in the laboratory
of DIR. Warren, de la Rue, and had the
advantage of his advice and assistance.
In the first experiment copper conduc-
tors thirty feet in length, in the form of
solid rod, n thin tube, and ribbon, each
of precisely the same mass were used.
The electricity was obtained from 3,240
chloride silver cells, and accumulated
in condenser of capacity OF 42.S
micro farads. The sudden discharge of
this quantity of electricity produced
results similar in character to lightning.
1t was capable of completely denagrat-
ing n inches of platinum wire of .0125
inch diameter, and of raising to differ
ent degrees of incandescence grea ter
lengths. Such wire, affixed to white
card 80 as to record the effect, was used
to measure the discharge after it had
passed through the conductor. Each
form of conductor gave exactly the same
result in the defiagration and heating of
the platinum, showing that different
extents of surface had no effect. AS it
might be thought that in copper con-
ductors of such length as those used,
differences in conductivity could not be
readily detected, the experiments were
repeated with lead conductors, the re-
sistances of which were twelve times
that of copper, with the same results.
An experiment, to determine how close
ly variations in the discharge could be
estimated, showed that a change of
resistance of five per cent. could have
been easily detected. Mr.. Preece. there
fore, concludes that no more effective
lightning conductor than a simple rod
or wire rope can be devised. .-JourndL of

the Ditmar powder works in this
city. About five minutes after
ward 10000 pounds of sporting
powder In a storehouse about 100
feet from the nitric vaults ignited
and caused another terrific explo-

buildings in the neighhorhood bad

Youmams, in blasting stumps out of a

charge into large stump some eight
or ten rods from the hOuse, and ex-
ploded it with telling effect. a section
of the stump, nearly one-half, was
blown out, and striking the end of his
story and a half residence, mashed a
hole into it considerable larger than
the stump: it then rebounded, striking
a picket fence some three rods away
and demolishing section of it. Mr..
Youman's family, a wife and two chill
dren were in the room near where the
stump struck, and although they were
not hurt, they will hereafter 60 to the
