in horses moderate doses of &C

animals covered with warm
blankets, to cause or encourage

be applied, after removing The

vent this wheel, thick in the center, and thin

braces, one on either side, the upper ends of

lower ends of which rest ON small wheels or

the rear of the center of the big wheel In
the inner circle are two circular, or nearly
circular, bands of iron or steel, very neatly
fitting. but in no place touching the inner
circle of the big wheel On these two iron or
steel bands is balanced the saddle with brass
trunion wheels or puleys under it-four of
them. In front and half way up the inner
circle is located pair of brass ratchet wheels,
6 inches in diameter, revolving on journals or
bearings in the inner iron bands The ratch-
cts on these wheels work on IA series of little
bolts on the inner circle of the big wheel, in
the manner of cogs.
Now for the principle upon which the ma
chine is expected to work. The saddle, as will
be seen by the cut, rests on four little trunion
wheels, the burden primarily falling on the
two rear trunions. These are considerably
in therear of and elevated above the center"
The two forward trunions of the saddle are
intended to be exactly on the center"
Now the weight placed on the saddle, falling
as it does ON the rear elevated trunions forces
them down and forward; this in turn
forces the forward trunions in front of and n
little above the center, and at the same time
causes the ratchet wheels to revolve This
constant pressure forward and the revolu-
tons of the small ratchet wheel causes the
bic wheel to revolve-and there you have

Rurial Alive,

That people have been buried alive is be-
yond controversy-the cases are too clearly
proved for doubt-and though the cases are
certainly not one in many thousands, yet the
horror Of such q thing is so appalling to the
imagination that one can scarcely think of it
without a shudder. The mother of John
Erskine, the great English divine, was buried
while in trance and exhumed by grave
robber; she recovered, became the mother of
the preacher and lived eighteen years there
after. The mother of Gen. Israel Putnam
was laid in her coffin and the funeral services
commenced when she revived, and lived six
years longer. The stealing of the body Of a
lovely young lady of Boston by three medical
students, their discovery when they began
dissection that tho blood flowed as in life,
the revival and recovery Of the lady and
her marriage to one OF the students, were
actual facts, though the romances of that
era added such garniture Of fiction in
the popular story they published that most
people disbelieved it all Similarly Mrs
Lindsey of Stewartsville, n. c., was taken
from her grave by robbers, revived and lived
in good health for many years.-Beadle.

On Pennsylvania Avenue.

The shifting of the.tides of humanity rolling
along the avenue brings together four such
celebrities as Gen. Greedy, Buffalo Bill, Fred
Douglass,san Bancroft the historian. Greedy
is tall, straight, bearded, pale and thin, still
wearing glasses to protect his eyes, snow
blinded in the Artics, from the bright rays
of a SD ring sun. Douglass is heavy, well fed,
almost fat, with a mass of bushy white hair
surmounting his black face. Bancroft is very
old and infrm, very gray, walks leaning on
the arm of an attendant, but has in his thin
face the expression of a man who is content
to die because he has accomplished something.
Buffalo Bill, almost as handsome as ever,
though showing the effect of his advancing
years, walks with the elastic step of an ath-
lete and bears a strong tanned face and a
keen eye Admiral Porter, spry at more
than three score and ten, wears his slouch.hat
jauntily on the back of his head and puffs at

The tombstone system i'll its essential feat
ures is a system of water tight manholes large
enough for one man TO work inside with COM
fort, connected by subways remarkable for
their durability, efficiency and economy. The
manholes are irregular cylinders i'll outline
about six feet in height and four in diameter
1t is constructed ingeniously out of inter-
changeable rings and segments so as to pro-
vide for the vast prospective development of
electrical traffic The topis styled n cup, and
is so arranged with a groove and doubleGd
as to be absolutely water tight and air tight
to the thoroughfare above it. The ways
proper are nothing but parttiOned boxes,
which connect the manholes. According to
the number of wires to be carried the number
of partitions varies from two to sixteen, and,
if necessary, could be increased to thirty-two.
Each partition will convey two or more cables
containing from twelve wiresupwards apiece.
The boxes instead of being made solid are con-
structed in unequal halves, the pieces of the
lower half being three or four times as long
as those of the upper half, and being fitted to
the latter by tongue and grove projections.
The pieces of the upper half are so small that
they can be removed without difficulty or ex-
pense. or when required by business be re-
placed by special pieces which carry branch
wires to and from the main line of the sub
way.
This feature is of the greatest value to
electric lighting. Under many of the systems
employed about the country, none of those
which use continuous iron or earthenware
tubes can supply wires at any point of their
line. The electrical engineer is compelled to
make his connections at some manhole, and
then tear up the street to bury the tapping
wire all the way from that center to the house
or factory for which it is intended. Still
more important is the immunity from the
caving in of the earth. With long iron tubes
fracture is bound to occur, as is so often
excmplifed with water and gas mains. With
the long box system the danger makes itself
known at the first and can be met and avoid
ed in a few minutes.
One of the greatest evils to the electrical
engineer is the Illuminating gas, which for
ever leaks from Che mains and pipes of the
gas companies. 1t is always injurious when
inhaled by worilmen, deadly when taken in
comparatively small amounts, and always
explosive when mixed with air. The Consoli-
dated company has applied another feature
of the tombstone system in this respect and
in the center OF the subway lines employs u
blowing engine of great power, which keeps
the way and manholes clean, dry and sweet.

THE NEW YORK SUBWAYS.
AN INGENIOUS SCHEME FOR BURY
ING THE WIRES.

Detailed Description of the Plan-Dangers
That Beset the Workmcn In the Man
holes Owing to the Cause.-The Many
Systems That Have Been Considered.
The refusal of Jay Gould to bury the wires
of the Western Union Telegraph company in
the subways that have been provided in New
York city, as well as the bringing of n suit in
equity by the former against Mayor Grant,
in which he demands an injunction against
the municipality from interfering with the
present system of wires and poles, calls at
tention TO the subway system of the metrop-
oils
When the legislature yielded to public sem
timent and passed a law compelling the burial
of all electric lighting, telephone and tele-
graph wires by their owners, in New York
state and more especially New York city,
there was n sudden inroad of subway in
ventors from every part of the country to the
metropolis. Over one hundred different sys-
tens were submitted by their enthusiastic
originatorS. Many We're good and many were
extremely bad. Some, indeed were so OPP
posed TO all the principles of mechanics and
applied science as to require no second glance
before being rejected. Others, while excel
lent enough theoretically, involved either so
much expense or so many technical difficult
ties us to be impracticable III an extreme de-
gree Illustrations of these three different
classes are afforded by one sanguine inventor
who wanted to use the present water and gas
mains for carrying; by second who pro-
posed to tunnel every great thoroughfare
from Broadway down, and by third whose
chief idea was the substitution for the present
curb and gutter system of an endless com
posite mass of iron, concrete and cement, cast
in their position during the progress Of con-
struction. OF the good systems all were care
fully tried and experimental with. The re-
suit of these researches was the adoption Of
the tombstone system by the Consolidated
Telegraph and Electrical Subway company,

cally no limit to the impetus that can be
given the machine by simply swinging the
stirrups forward and elevating them nearly
to horizontal position. Swung as they are
to the ratchet wheel axle, forward pressure
on them pulls this big wheel forward and

attaching to her she would be put on the re-
