SUBWAY CONDUIT.

Tho 1ohnstone system in 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
nlanlioes are irregular cylinders in outline
about six feet in heightand four in diameter.
1t is constructed ingeniously out of inter
changeable rings and segments so as to pro-
vido for the vast prospective Development Of
electrical traffic, The top is styled a cup, and
is so arranged with u groove and doubleId
as to be absolutely water tight and air tight
to the thoroushfare 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 wires upwards apiece
Tho 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
MS 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 DO 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, mono of those
which uso continuous iron or earthenwarc
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 tho tapping
wire oil the way from that center to thehou
or factory for which it is intended. Still
more important is the immunity from the
caving in of the earth With long iron tubes
Il fracture is bound to occur, as is so often
cxempliiicd with water and gas mains. With
the long box system the danger makes itself
known at the first and cal. be met and avoid
ell in few minutes.
One OF the greatest evils to tho electrical
engineer is the illuminating gas, which for
ever leaks from the mains and pipes Of the
gas companies. 1t is always injurious when
inhaled hy work,ncn, deadly when taken in
comparatively small amounts, and always
explosive when mixed with air. Tho Consoli-
dated company has applied another feature
Of the johnstouc system in this respect, and
i'll the center Of the subway lines employs
blowing cugino Of great power, which keeps
the way and nlanhoes clean, dry and sweet.

THE NEW YORK SUBWAYS.
AN INGENIOUS SCHEME FOR BURY

Systems That Have Eeen Considered.
The refusal of Jay Gould to bury tl,e wires
Of the Western Union Telegraph company in
the subways that have been provided in New
York city, as well as the bringing Of Il 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 moro especially New York city,
there was q 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
originntors. Many were good and many were
extremely bad. Some, indeed, were so op-
posed to all the principles of mechanics and
applied science rs to require no second glance
before being rejected. Others, while excel
lent enough theoretically, involved either SO
much expense OF so many technical difficult
ties MS to bo impracticabie in 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 n second who pro-
posed to tunnel every great thoroughfare
from Broadway down, aud by a third whose
chief idea was the substitution for the present
curb and gutter system of All 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

The Freight Engineers Duties.


The freight engine1nan's every day thoughts
are largely about the caro- of his engine and
tho perplexities incident to getting out of it

maximum amount Of fuel. The constant aim
Of his superiors Is to have the engine draw
every pound it possibly can. To haul train
up a long and steep grade when tho cars arc
so heavily loaded that single additional

still requires knack that can be appreciated
only by viewing the performance on the spot.
Failure not only wastes time and fuel lit may

might have succeeded better. The runner

He must not WOO me on bended
knees
The lover who'd win my heart,
Forhe must be master and lord of me,
And to let woman his tyrant be
Is scarcely manly part.
Let him as the royers did of old,
Who wooed with a flashing brand,
Nor cared though maiden's looks
were cold,
And won their brides, as the tale is
told,
BY the might Of theirstrong right
hand.
For the man whom a woman's love
should crown
Must be strong to do and dare,
Not angry words must cast him
down,
And he must not heed the scorn or
frown
OF the fairest of maidens fair.
Strong must he be, as the sun is
strong,
With the might. of gentleness,
When he wakes the birds to their
matin song.
And makes the night chilled earth
too long
For the warmth Of his soft caress.
Aud oh. when he comes, my man OF
men,
III east to the winds my pride,
Its armor never shall need again
For the shieldof love will suffice me
then,
As | walk through life by his side

Money i'm Farming.
Wilmington Messenger,

We have dear friend who owned
some years ago. and may do so now, a
large farm near the old town of Bath
that was. His land was SO rich he
could not possibly make cotton. lie
never ploughed the land to make corn.
A hole was made for the corr and it
was never worked. Ten barrels tv
Il e acre were gathered. In other
sections this manner OF growing corn
used to be escorted to, and may still
be. We knOw that DIR. Robert Pat
terson. of Halifax county, nephew of
the late Bishop Atkinson, averaged
over 20 barrels of corn to the acre.
