WHAT MAKES THE WIRE HUMP

Most boys believe that the hum
ming sound made by the telegraph
wires is caused by the messages
lurrying to their destination. Most
men believe that the sound is caused
by the vibration of the wind. A
writer in an Austrian Journal, how
ever, calls attention to the fact that
one who will give close observation
to both the wire and the sounds will
find that the latter make themselves
obvious likewise when there is
total absence of wind and on a
quiet morning In winter, when the
wires appear to be covered with
frost to the thickness ola finger, they
nevertheless carry on lively vibra.
tions aud singing, while the air is
totally quiet. According to this
writer, therefore, the vibrations are
due, not to the wind, but to the
changes of atmospheric temperature,
and especially through Che action Of
cold, as lowering Of temperature in
duces a shortening of the wires ex-
tending over the whole length of the
conductor. A considerable amount
of friction is produced on the sup
porting bells, thus inducing sounds
both IN the wires aud the poles.

MR.. ToRREYsor's NEW CART.

Mr.. Torreyson, the blacksmith OF
Carson, is noted Cor his kindness to-
ward animals. He has just built a
road cart, now OH exhibition at his
blacksmith shop, which is destined
to revoIutionizr travelling By road.
and to materially tighten the labors
of that noble animal the horse.
i The idea is to occasionally give
the horse chance TO ride in the
cart as well as the drives. The idea
was first suggested TO Mr.. Torreyson
BY seeing turtle moving along the
road carrying his shell with him.
| The vehicle made by Mr.. Torrey.
son has four high weels and the
place between them arched so that
the horse is hitched under the wagon
between the wheels, his head pro.
Ijecting a little beyond the front
wheels, and his tail barely clearing
the hind wheels. The driver sits
just over the horses ueck and the
others in the wagon face outward on
each side.
The horse is so fastened that the
pulling is distributed over his body
and does not all come OH his neck
and shoulders. In this position he
is greatly protected from the sun
and storm, and thereby enabled to
make long journeys with less fati-
que.
But the principal part of the in
venticn lies in a belly band about
four feet wide passing under the
horse. When You reach the top OF
a long hill, down. which a horse
would have to go slowly as he held
back the load, you simply turn
crank and it lifts the horse off Of his
feet several inches from the ground;
the vehicle then runs down the hill
of its own momentum.
1t is provided with a steering APP
paratus and brake, that the vehi-
Gle may be steered and its velocity
regulated.
Several times during the day the
tired horse has chance to ride, and
is very much rested. Also when
the horse attempts to run away you
wind up the crank and he is lifted
off the ground perfectly helpless
All the dust raised by the animal
goes out behind the wagon and does
not reach the driver.

A Prominent Democrat Euloqizes
Grant.

Hon. Edgar X. Apgar, a promi
nent New York Democrat, was one
of the speakers at the Jackson din
ner in Boston Thursday evening, and
in bis peroration he said:
"There is now living in the Unit
ed States distinguished soldier
more distinguished, perhaps. than
any other which the country has
produced-wh also after that dis.
tinction was won became President
of the United States. | refer to
Gen. U. S. Grant. Faults he has,
doubt not; grievious faults it has
seemed to me at times, but / can.
not forget that be was at the head
Of our armies in the fiercest crisis OF
our national life, and that under his
leadership our Union was preserved,
and that to day be stands, not in this
land alone, but in every land under
the sun, as the foremost and most
conspicuous representative of the
American name. He has fallen into
misfOrtunes which of themselves
would challenge the sympathy OF
the world if he were not the conspic-
nous figure that he is. fhe had not
been President of the United States
his misfortunes which have come
upon him would still challenge our
sympathy and our regret.
II do not know whether you will
agree with me or not, but l would
that the Democratic party of Mass
achusetts, represented here as, / am
told, it has hever been represented
before, would instruct their chairman,
who is not only their chairman but
one of the leaders of the Democracy
in the House of Representatives,
that it is their will and desire, that
it is their command, that he, repre-
senting them, shall initiate if neces-
sary, or at any rate favor, some ade
quate national measure in reference
to this matter. / do not care what
it shall be. Let the assembled states.
men of the country at Washington
decide that whether it shall be plac-
lug him upon the retired list or a
pension. Whatever it shall be, lei
this great nation honor itself by say
ing that the misfortunes OF such a
man shall not be lightly allowed to
pass by amid the neglect ofhis coun-
try-men." AT the close of Mr.. APP
gar's remarks there was great ap-
plause.
