OIL to Quiet an Angry Sea.


The windows of some of the South
street ship chambers stores contain this
sign: Marine OIL" aEa e4 ..F. 7s.a
7a 1T is an oil specially prepared to
smooth an angry sea, (" said one dealer.
Boiled oil or animal oil will do pretty
well, but this oil will stand a greater de-
gree of cold without congealing than or
dinary oils. 1t is secret mixture of
common oils. The demand for it has
arisin through the publication by the
photographic Office of the value of oil
in breaking sea. 1t has become the
fashion toyuse oil. 1t is singular char
acteristic, but many old sea captains
boast that they are not book sailors, and
take pride in refusing to do what the
books recommend and in refusing to
take up with what they call new-fangled
notions. They have heard about the
value of oil ever since whales were first
captured off Nantucket, but it was not
the fashion to use oil, 50 they let the
ships sink New York Sun. " &

A TYPE-SETTING MACHINE.
Description of Its Operation-A Practici
Test-The Result.

Description of It's OperatiDn-A Practical
Test-The Result.
A large number of people visited Colts
armOry the other day to witness the operation
OF the machine invented and developed by Mr..
Joseph Thorn, which sets and distributes type
at n great pace. and which has had a practical
test OF more than n year in New York where
several have been steadily in use during that
time. The machine looks like round tower
with a keyboard in front and shelves at the
side. The operator plays on the keys, and type
is carried out to n trough and on to the
shelf where the procession Of pieces OF metal
is cut at intervals, each corresponding to the
length OF a line Here another operator
i,lstifes the matter, that is, takes ont or puts
in sraces To make the words come at proper
distances from each other and the type exacU
" fill the line While this is going on other
type is being distributed. To understand
this it is necessary to go back 10 the upright
cylinder first mentioned. This is made in two
narts one revolving above the other, and
each having ninety vertical grooves i'll which
the type rests Each groove in the lower
cylinder, which is stationary, has ridges
within it which correspond to the projecting
tumblers in lock- those in each groove being
has corresponding notches cut in it, like
wards on a steel key, and the arrangement is
such that the type falls from the upper re
volving cylinder only when its notches cor
respond to the wards in q groove of the lower
cylinder over which it is passing. Now by
simple arrangement whole line of type is
thrust into the upper cylinder This Is re-
volying fast and when the lowest type iintS
its appropriate groove in the lower cylinder
it drops into it. Then the one just above 1t
goes through the same performance and then
the next, and so on.
There is an ingenious arrangement by
which the type that is set is got into trough,
The motion OF the key simply throws them
out horizontally. They fall Oh round plate a
little larger than the bottom of the cylinder
in one of whose grooves they have been rest
ing, and its motion throws them out against
its circumference where at a certain point
they are shunted into the trough and go on to
their final place
The machine was working nicely and was
said to set at the rate of 5000 ems an hour,
/ 900 being fast work for man. A book
printed from type set by the machine was ex-
hibited and was certainly a very creditable
piece Of work k-Hartford Courant.

A GREAT INVENTION.

TIE legraphing from Moving Railway
Train to a Roadside Station.
The system of transmitting and re-
ceiving telegraph messages from trains
In motion was successfully demonstrate
ed by the Railroad Telegraph and Tel
ephone Company at Clifton, Staten
Island, the other day. Inside the car
at small table a telegraph operator
sat sending and receiving messages to
and from the outside world while the
train was in motion. The operator
differed from others in having tele-
phone sounding-plates over his ears,
held in place by a rubber band passing
over his head. In front of the operator
on the table was All ordinary Morse
key, by which he sent the messages to
an operator at Clifton, who received
them through telephone sounding
plates fastened on his ears.
Mr.. Edison, who was present, ex-
planned that in the Clifton office there
was condenser made of layers of tin
foil separated by air, but that at the
car a condenser was formed by the
thirty Baltimore & Ohio wires stretched
UlO u oOh, Ny U1AO UAA 1OOIO VI UuO
cars, which were all connected by cop
per wires and by the air between the
wires and the tin roofs. Under the
table of the operator in the car was a
local battery.
The current used may be conceived
as passing first from the battery in the
Clifton Station and leaving through the
condenser to the telegraph wires, then
passing along those wires without in
terrupting ordinary messages until it
gets opposite the car, when it jumps
across the tin roofs and passes down
through wire TO an electromagnetic on
the operators table Thence it re-
turns through the axles and wheels of
the car, and through the ground to the
Clifton Station. The Morse current,
without the aid of the electromagnetic,
can not pass through the condenser so
as to make continuous musical note.
1t passes through, but it's waves are so
much slower that no distinct sounds
are formed.
Many messages were sent to and
from the moving car. This invention,
it is asserted, will be especially useful
to train dispatchers, who may by it's
use communicate with train at any
point on the road.-M Y. Dispatch.
