BabcOck's Fascination.

Dr.. Geo. Babcock, of the dental firm
of Barth & Bsbcock, is possessed Of a
genius that is not solely confined to ex-
tracing teeth. He has great liking for
taking hold of fractions steeds and subs
DUNG them to his will. The ARGUS has
chronicled the recent experience of the
doctor with one of his new purchases in
Davenport, but obstinate as was the
equine Babcock was not to be discour-
aged. He had bought the horse at q
bare ain because of the stubborn trait in
its composition, and it was only
nece sssry to overcome this to possess
q really fine animal. Babcock set about
to do this and learning that the horse
was particularly shy of umbrellas. he
bou ght one of attractive colors and so ar
ranged it on the shafts of his breaking
cart that the horse could not look at its
master without seeing the umbrella.
Thus equipped Babcock may be seen al
most any night driving in the suburbs OF
I the city, and those who may hereafter
wonder at the oddity of the outfit have
had it fully explained.

An Electric Motor.

1t is plain, then, that we can set up an
electro-motive force in a conductor by merely
moving magnet with reference to the con-
ductor, and that we can determine the direc-
ton in which the electro-motive force shall
act TO produce its corresponding current Of
electricity by our choice of direction in which
the movement shall be made. Moreover, it
is quite a matter Of indifference whether we
move the magnet or the conductor, or both,
80 long as the two change their relation TO
one another, and experiment shows that the
magnitude of the electro veforce, and
consequently that of the electrical current, is
also under our control
II the current generated by dynamo
machine be made to traverse the circuit OF
another and similar one, the latter will be
set in rotation, and it will thus be means
of translating electrical energy into mechan
ical energy; in other words, 1t will become
an electric motor, and may be employed as
any other prime motor would be. Since the
conductors which unite the machines may be
as long as we please, we have thus means
Of transferring power from one point te
another. Obviously, however, we cannot dc
this In defiance of the law of conservation Of
energy, and there will always be SONS
energy expended in heating the conductors
we can never develop at the distant station
as much energy as we expend at the trans
uniting one.-Professor c. F. Bracket II

Some Points for Those Who smoke.


Here is point FOR smokers 1t is given by
man who not only smokes cigars very fire.
quently, but sells them. He says if you will
carry your cigars in your waistcoat pocket
with the mouth end down there will be les
likelihood of the tobacco becoming broken OF
the wrapper being unrolled than if you carry
them with the match end at the bottom.
Here is a second point: If you are billiard
player, don't put them in the pocket on the
right side, for the constant moving of the
arm in the manipulation of the cue will wear
upon that side, and, if it does not result in
crushing the tobacco will so loosen thswrap
per that the smoking of the cigar VIII be an
annoyance rather than pleasure And here
is third point: If there is a slight feeling !o9
nausea, take drP RsoG1fd be sure absolutely
of preventing any serious sickness throw
your cigar away and stop smoking altogether
for an hour or so. Another point which a
gentleman who heard these three advanced
suggested is that if by any cause it becomes
necessary to let cigar so out it will be a
good scheme not to take final puff, but to
make blow and expel the smoke from the
burning end. This clears the roll of tobacco
from the smoke, and even if the fire dies out
it viii be found upon rehghting that the
cigar is of good flavor. In fact an expert
has said that really good cigar will be i'm,
proved by letting it go out, following this
plan, and then lighting it again--New York

McLain and John Haverling under the
raft his morning. Coroner Halves was
summoned and empsnnelled a jury com
posed of Geo. W. Copp, Frank Burger,
L. V Eckhart, Robert Richardson, Thos.
Irwin and John Grotegut. The facts
ELECTED were substantially given yester-
day and q verdict of accidental drowning
returned.
Coroner Halves was called to Moline
last night to hold an inquest on the body
of a boy named Carl Flick, who was
drowned in the canal of the Moline watt
er power, near the Moline Scale Co.'S.
works, in the afternoon. Carl. who was
eleven years old, left his father about 4
O'Clock and sought companion about his
own age named Albert Mueller, and the
two vent down to the tail race. Carl
asked Albert to 90 in swimming and
when Albert declined pulled off his
clothes and went in alone. He could
swim only little. and after going down
twice struggled and called for help. AL
bert called loudly from the shore and at
tracted several men, who began looking
for the body, which was discovered about

The city council, at its adjourned ses-
sion last evening, ordered that the inn
provement of Second avenue in the way
Of paving with vitrifled brick from Twen>
tieth to Fourteenth street be begun with
in ten days from date. thus giving the
contractors, Messrs. Atkinson & Olof,
three days more than the limit specified
in the contract within which to pre- pare
to begin. The consequence is that by
the middle of the present month this
great permanent improvement will have
been started and the advancement toward
which Rock Island has been moving dur>
ing the past two years will be fairly en-
tered upon. The city will then have
good, substantial reason to congratulate
itself.
In the county court last evening Judge
Adams appointed as commissioners of
the paving project under the special as
sessment law, Messrs. Hugh Warnock,
W. A. Schmidt and E. P. Reynolds
These gentlemen will at once apportion
the assessment and all will probably be
in readiness for collecting the first tax by
the time the contractors make their first
estimate.
In the meantime the contractors may
go forward with their work which must
be completed within ninety days.
The council also showed its progress
sive spirit by passing the brick sidewalk
ordinance and ordering the waterworks
