| from which extend two connecting rods to
clutches below the axle, these clutches be-
ing mounted upon short shafts, arranged to
revolve beneath the axle, with pinions
! mounted upon the outer end and set to mesh
into gears mounted upon the hubs of the
wheels.
The motor is of closed-feld type, work
ing at 1000 revolutions per minute, with a
potential of 40 volts. Upon a level grade,
a speed of from 10 to 15 miles an hour can
be accomplished. The steering apparatus
and brake, attached to the same, are in
genious and readily operated by the person
in charge of the vehicle. Relying upon these
auxiliary attachments, the steepest hills
NAV be climbed with impunity. The vehicle
cannot go backward, unless so directed.
Should the motor fail TO act, connection
break, or an accident of any kind occur
the carriage will stop (and this irrespective
of the brake.)
Incidentally, it may be mentioned that
the storage cells, with which the carriage is
fitted, will also furnish light and heat, if
requisite, at but slight increase in cost of
running.
A few words must be said in regard to the
storage cells to be used on this vehicle.
They are of type which neither infringes
nor even suggests any storage cell hitherto
shown. A Lugo cell, while weighing nearly
two-thirds less, will equal the capacity of
any other known cell of similar superficial
area 1t will thus be seen that, for road
carriages, suitable storage cell has already
been invented, notwithstanding the un-
happy litigation, which has been waged all
these later years.
Taken as whole, the combination is de-
cdedly in the line of progress. A most
careful investigation and test disclose no
defects that cannot be easily remedied. As
method of propulsion it is admirably
adapted for all business purposes, effecting
a saving of money and time; for the
transportation of passengers and baggage
over routes where travel is insufficient to
Justify the laying of rails; over hilly or
otherwise difficult roads, coaches could thus
be run with profit, with all the advantages
gained of regularly constructed electric
railway.

A London journal speaks favorably of
what is termed the latest addition to the
many products obtained from coal tar, an
article described as possessing all the de-
sirable properties Of India. rubber. A
method has been discovered by a German
chemist, it appears, by which, after the tar
has been refined hy means of sulphuric acid,
the residum can be worked up by simple
manipulation into black mass bearing in
appearance very close resemblance to or
dinary asphalt, but al the same time having
the well-known characteristic of elasticity
possessed by India rubber On being sub
mitted 10 continuous and intense hest the
material. it is said, can be decreased in
bulk some so or 60 per cent, under which
operation it acquires great degree of hard
ness, but at the same time very elastic In
the original or soft state the material is a
kind of mineral rubber asphalt, but when
dissolved in naphtha it becomes fine water
proof yarnish, suitable for forming a dur
able and reliable covering, especially for
most textile substances
Another ingenious mechanism has been
added to the vast number evolved ID rail

new kind of clock, the peculiar capabilities
of which it is thought present special ad-

tour-inch boards; one end of the diamond
rested on the pan, and at the other end a
piece of cheese was tied as shown in the
sketch. Then I placed narrow board,
running from the floor on to the edge of the
pan for the mice to reach the cheese men,
toned above; in trying to do this the extra
weight of the mouse, or mice, sends the
diamond board downwards, and into the
water the little pests are thrown. The
beauty of this trap is if arranged properly
1t resets itself every time capture is made.
By new process now being introduced
the coloring of sheepskins for rugs, etc,
has been much simplifed, while at the same
time the appearance is said to be considera-
bly, improved beyond the ordinary article.
According to this method the skins, after
being tanned in the usual manner, are well
watered and nailed fiat on a board of corre-
spending size, with flesh side downward. A
bath or beck is made up with the colors re-
quired, and the board with the skin allowed
to float upon it, so that the wool hangs
downward; the beck is then gradually
heated up to the temperature necessary for
dyeing, care being taken that no waves are
produced-the point of consideration in this
respect being not to allow full boiling to be
reached-and, after the dycing is accom-
plished, the skin is rinsed on the board,
then loosened and dried. If many skins are
to be dried, large, shallow watts and casks
are fitted up, upon which may float the
boards, the latter to be well dried to pre-
vent warping.
In recent paper on steel, read BY DR..
Anderson before the Iron Institute, Eng
land, he is reported as saying that when a
piece of solid iron is thrown into pot of
molten iron or STEEL the solid metal at first
sinks, which shows that its volume is less
than the melted substance, but soon the
solid piece becomes heated, which causes it
to expand, its volume is increased, and it
risas and floats on the surface of the molten
mass. The action is remarked as being the
same both with iron and STEEL and is ex-
bibited at once on simply throwing piece
of iron into melted steel, when it can easily
be seen to go down, movement which
might be thought to be due to the impetus
attained by the piece of iron falling that
height, but, as matter of fact, the iron, if
placed upon fork and lowered without any
such impetus, would go down; in the course
of few seconds, however, it comes up
again, and keeps on expanding until the
piece of iron is considerable distance
above the surface of the metal, when it de-
creases in volume, aud, of course, becomes
of the same volume as the molten metal
metal which it joined.

Getting ashore at Tangier is not alto
gether stately performance. Scarcely had
our steamer anchored, when there came
swarming over the rail from all quarters a
horde of swarthy turbaned harbor porters,
dressed in the natural black 1eathern skin
of Morocco, many with huge rings in their
ears, danglets and banglets of tinkling
metals and bright sashes, barelegged anu
barefooted, or shod with loose sandals; all
as uncanny and weird lot as ever looted a
ship ana butchered its crew in the good old
days of Moorish piracy and pillage.
Formerly these black imps grabbed trav-
elers bodily, lifted them astride their backs
or shoulders and waded ashore with them.

DUKE OF CUMBERLAND.

After worrying the diplomats very
much he changed his mind and consent
ed to take the money and agree never to
try to be king. When Hanover was an
pexed to Prussia, in 1866, King George
was bulldozed into accepting settle
ment, but when Bismarck unfolded his
entire policy King George refused the
settlement. Then Prussia, that is to say
Bismarck, took all his property and rev.
enues and fought him with the income.
The imperial landtag refused to sanction
this robbery and something had to be
done.
The income has been devoted to subsi-
dizing journals and public men to create
an opinion. Finally the present En-
peror William consented to revoke the
sequestration, and the Duke of Cumber-
land now agrees to accept the 60,000,000
silver marks, present valuation of his
fathers claim, and surrenders all
claims to the crown of Hanover.
The origin of an English dukes right
to German throne is peculiar James
I of England had daughter who mar
ried a German prince, and her daughter,
Sophia, married the elector of Hanover;
so when Queen Anne died childless,
Aug. l, 1714, and there were no heirs in
the English branch, the right to the
crown belonged to the oldest son of that
Sophia, and so he became George of
England. This made an awkward union
between the electorate and the kingdom,
and involved England in various wars.
The crown of Hanover, however, was
limited to the male line; so when Vic
toria became queen her uncle Ernest
Augustus became king of Hanover, the
English people rejoicing greatly at the
separation and even more at the absence
of the hated Ernest, though he and his
heirs remained dukes of Cumberland in
England. The son of Ernest Augustus
was blind George, and with him ended
the Hanoverian kingdom.
