Some of the Curious Inventions at the Exhi-
Philadelphia Press.
The big Roosevelt organs in the gallery are
run by Edison motors which are supplied with
electricity from dynamo off in the north end Of
the structure The current of fluid makes the
armature revolve, to the end Of which is fastened
wheel, to which the belt of the organ pump is
adjusted. The Daft motor is different It has
worm armature, that is, it is threaded like a
screw. This prevents it working too rapidly.
Then the end turns upon a bur-wheel, which, in
turn, further reduces the rapidity of the revolu-
ton and contributes less motion to the wheel of
the machinery noted It is very ingenious. The
press which prints the Electrical World is
run by one of these motors Few motors have
arrangements for regulating speed. A young
man named Moore has a curious little contriv-
ancefor accomplishing this result. Wanamaker
/ mas g tailor shop exhibit, the twenty machines
of which are run by motors Upon the hy-leaf
of each machine lies a little iron box about six
inches square, with wire running into it. 1t
has no motion and looks useless, but from it lead
wires which drive the machine at high rate of
speed 1t is the Cleveland motor Then be-
sides, shoe sewing machine is also run by one
OF the little iron boxes. Over in the exhibit of
the united States company great iron drills and
planes are run by motors The strangest use
to which the electric motor has been applied
is tooth pulling dentist in Brooklyn has
arranged a complete machine, which will
lessen human suffering a pair Of forceps pro.
trude froma nickel tube, which is connected
with wire. The forceps are applied to the
aching ivory; then the operator touches spring,
spiral arrangement within the tube winds up
in wink, draws down the, forceps like fash,
and In an instant the tooth is jerked from the
jaw and cast upon the floor This Brooklyn
dentist has pulled as many as seven teeth in FIVE
seconds. He fixed an electrical forceps to each
grinder to be removed Then he touched the
springs rapidly in succession, and the patients
mouth was as toothleSS as q babes One use of
the motors is highly appreciated at the exposi
ton That is when they turn fans. The build
ing was very warm on Saturday. Upon the
Edison parlor table stood an ornamented fan,
which revolved between A, 900 and 8, 600 times

Of harty pervaded the place and the people to such
extent as to take away the soemnity of the sacred

semocose remarks uttered not at all calculated

are both good things in proper time and place yet the
two have nothing sufficiently in common to warrant
