A young man was walking hurriedly
down Market street this morning, aud
when he had passed Fourth street he
fixed his gaze intently on an object be-
fore him. Suddenly an avalanche
of snow slid from slant
ing roof and came down unfeel-
ingly on the youth changing his color
to a pure white, all over, and almost
scarins him to death. An elderly man
coming up on the same side of the street,
thought the mishap exceedingly funny,
and laughed so hard that he apparently
shook the roof of an adjoining build.

be seen was pyramid of snow on top Of

The old fellow crawled out, and while
the frigid drops rolled down his back and
he was removing snow from his collar,

snow off his clothes laughed.

PAT RoL BOXES.
City Councils Police Committee Inspects
Systems In Two Cities.


Systems in Two Cities.
Philip r. Shea, William G. Baugh and
George Mccall of City Councils Police
Committee, and J. w. Aydon. superin.
tendent of the Fire Alarm Telegraph !,
went TO Camden and Philadelphia yester-
day to look at the patrol box systems Of
the Police Departments.
In Camden they saw the working Of
the Boston Police Telegraph. The boxes
are similar to the FIRE alarm boxes ia this
city. The patrolmen report at intervals
by an indicator. This obviates the
necessity of a sergeant. When the officer
desires the patrol wagon he pulls lever
in the box and an indicator at the central
station shows where to send
the wagon. A telephone is
also in the box and he
may talk to headquarters. There are
twenty boxes in Camden and they have
been in operation six weeks under the
control Of the agents. These agents offer
to take the committee to Ne Rark, N. j.,
where the system is in perfect working
order, and the committee will probably
accept the invitation.
In Philadelphia they were greeted by
President Slower Of the Gamewell Com
pany, whose system is used in the
Philadelphia patrol boxes. The boxes
are smaller than those in the Boston
system. The committee inspected the
battery room in the City Hall and visited
the Central stations. Tests were made
at many Of the boxes.
The storm interferred with perfect
work, but enough was shown to prove
the efficiency of patrol system The
committee will doubtless report in favor
of introducing a system here.

yo1r ---1-,~ l.---s.sA ---.l-A-..
San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1890-07-29

A highly interesting fact has been brought
out by Mr.. o. Thrill, of New York, in some
practical tests in producing electric light by
using illuminating gas for driving a gas en-
CINE and a Ferret dynamo. Naturally one
would suppose that the loss due to the double
Transformation of energy in producing the
electric light from Illuminating gas by this
means would place the cost of the electric
light far above that of gas. On the contrary.
however, Mr.. Thrill has found to his surprise
that a given amount of gas will produce far
greater Illuminating effects when used 10
drive the dynamo than when burned direct.
The gasoline gas is produced by his machine
for 81 per ZOO feet. The engine, it is found,
consumes our feet of this gas per sixteen can
die power lamp per hour when driving the
dynamo under full load, making the cost per
lamp two-fifths of a cent per hour, so that
the luxury of the electric light by this means,
instead of being expensive, he finds in reality
to be a great economy. Mr.. Thrill explains
the phenomenon by the fact that his gasoline
gas contains so per cent. of air when deliv-
cred at the explosion chamber of the engine,
and he gets the benefit of the expansion of
this large volume of air by the heat of the
Observation-Disclosures Record.
