Electrical oddities.

The big Roosevelt organs in the gal

| are supplied with ell ctriciti from dy-
namo of the north end of the structure.
The current of flu Il makes the arma.
ture revolve, to the end o. which is tas-
tened a wheel, to which the belt of the
organ pump is adjusted The Daft
| motor is di.ierent. 1t has a worm ar
mature, that is, it is threaded like a
screw. This prevents it working too
rapidly. Then the end turns upon u
bur-wheel, which. in turn. further re-
duces the rap dity o. the revolution and
contributes less motion to the wheel
the machinery motor. 1t is very ingen-
ious. The press which prints the hlec-
tricGl HOri0 is run by one OF these mot
ors. Few motors have arrangements
for regulating eed. A young man
named Moore has curious little con-
trivance for accomplishing this result.

shoe-sewing machine is also run by one
of the little iron DO es. Over in the e -
hibit of the United States Company
great iron drills and planes are run by
motors. The strangest use to which the

The Mules Superior intelligence.

During chat with the foreman Of the
street car stables, James E. Barry, the
subject turned to q discussion Of the
characteristics of horses and mules. He
has been close student Of both, and
the result Of his experience il that the
mule is entitled to the higher rank in
sagacity.
M. Barry went on to say that the
superiority of the mule is shown In his
absolute refusal to put his foot in hole
in q bridge or crossing. Horses seem
to endeavor to find hole, II there Is
any lying around. and break their legs.
This mule will not do, nor can he be
forced to advance il he thinks there is
danger. '.The horse. = said Mr.. Barry,

It has been an amusing study at one
of the stables to watch sly, mischiev-
GUS little mule that 10 rather too fond
of liberty. It seems that the mules are
fastened to their stalls By . chain, on
the end of which is q crosspiece Of iron,
which is slipped lcngthWise through n
hole in the stall, and when extended
crossways over the hole prevents the
chain being withdrawn. This mule,
when standing in his manger, with his
teeth and tongue manages to slip the
crosspiece attached to the chain out OF
the hole. and then cautiously backs out
the full length of the chain md surveys
the field. II there be q stablemAn Ia
sight he re-enters the stall and waits de-
murely until the coast is clear. when he
comes out quickly and makes = dash
for liberty and the street. Sometimes
it requires all hands to catch him and
bring him back.
In the yard Of one Of the down-town
stables there is post to which four
mules are generally tied after being
curried There was recently ono mule
there that was fond of slipping its
chain-tag through the ring in the post,
and then, to allow its mates to share in
its liberty, he loosened the others. This
he did so often he had to be closely
watched. IN q. Times Democrat.
