CROWS TO THE RESCUE.
A Midair Fight, i'm Which They
Tackle Hungry Hawk.

Jackie hungry HAWK,
Springfield Republican.
A white-feathered chicken in search of
worms strayed from the yard OF Feeding
Hills farmer early Sunday afternoon, and
was soon scratching merrily in the black
loan OF swamp near by. A big ben-hawk
that was sailing lazily along far up In the
sky tipped an eye downward and saw the
little white chick. The hawk had had no
dinner and was very hungry. The big,
hungry hawk suddenly shot down like a
stone. and before the chick could run or
eluek, or even flap her funny little wings,
she was liz the hawks cruel claws.
The farmer was cutting cornstalks In a
wagon near the barn and did not see the
hawk with Tapping wings rise into the air
clutching tight the little white chick fright
ened and still. But perched upon some
trees the other side of the swamp were
eight black crows. They had seen it all.
Putting their eight heads together these
crows consulted hurriedly. and then with q
loud, defiant chorus of 'caw, cav, caw,"
they took wing. The bird of prey had not
risen fifty feet into the air before the crows
had completely surrounded him.
They pecked at him above, below. in
front and behind. They would rise many
feet above and shoot downward one after
the other at the hawk with the swiftness
and celebrity of swallows. The hawk. bur-
dened with the breathless chick. could not
endure the savage onset aud soon sank
among the trees. But the crows. crying

beat upon him still. and at last the hawk
dropped the chick and angrily dashed up
ward again.
For minutes the battle waged over the
treet0ps. The hawk was fierce in his de-

as before, gradually drove him higher and

new fOIk Sun.
Up to last September there was youne
man IN the Central Tennessee College for
negroes at Nashville who was known to his
fell0w-students Alfred Mono Thompson.
One day letters came to him from Liberia
informing him that by the death of his
mother, Queen of the tribe of Veys and
ruler of the province of Jabasca, he had be-
come King of Jabasca and prince of tire
Vey tribe. His n anne became MommoIu
MassaGu0i The letter, which was from
his nephew. Menah, a 16-year-old boy
stated that owing to a war with the Panahs
and Mandingoes the people were in great
destitution. and urged his speedy return.
The boy himself was acting as regent, but
no treaty ending the war could be made
without the Kings signature.
Acting on this letter, the new King made

STREET RAILWAYS.
Who Invented the Cable
Car System?
THE CLAIMS OF A GERMAN.
His Attempt to Pluck the Laurel
From the Brow of a San
franciscan.

A New York World reporter called on
Herman Gross. at III Sullivan street. the
other day. Mr.. Gross was found In apart
meDts consisting OF two rooms in the base
ment of a tenement-house of hum BILE preten-
sioBs. He said he was The inventor OF the

from him before he could. succeed in having
it patented, and now he was obliged to wit
ness the construction of eabie-roads all
over the country, and three in New York
City in particular. without receiving penny
of royalty.
Mr.. Gross said he was born in Hebron,
Germany. and was cabinet-maker by
trade. He came to this country in 1913. He
had always devoted considerable thought
to the problem of perpetual motion. One
day in 1854 he was experimenting on a tri-
angle which was, so he thought. to produce
perpetual motion. A movable magnet was
placed at each corner of the triangle. The
magnets were rounded. The idea was that
once the vehicle received its start the mo-
mentum produced on IT'S trip down one line
would carry it up and down the others. In
this it would be assisted by the magnets.
which, being movable. wodld attract the
vehicle one way and repel IL the othef, the
chain on which the vehicle moved being
magnetiZed. While experimenting on this
the idea Of an endless cable for street rail-
way iocom0, on suggested itself, and from
that moment Gross never dismissed his new
idea from his mind.
lie worked on the idea till the war began,
and then he enlisted.
After the war Gross returned TO his pet
problem and finally perfected a comple te
and practical model. The design Is re-
markable for its simplicity. The bottom
view OF the car shows a movable rod run
ming nearly the length VI the car. to which

A KENTUCKIAN'S DUTY.
The Reason Why He Accepted an Invi-

st. Louis Chronicle
1T was only the other day learned that
something more than mere appetite prompts
the kentuckian never to refuse an invita-
ton to drink" said Wendell Alderman. a

"a crowd of us were sitting in the smok-
ing apartment of Pullman car coming to
ST. Louis. A distinguished man.
with flowing locks and John A. Logan
mustache occupied a seat in the main body
of the car.
From his personal appearance and talk
1t was evident that he was a puffeek' South

blue grass region of kentueky-near Lex

volubility when the subject of trotters and
thofoughDredS was mentioned. No one had
asked him, however. from what State he
came, so 1t occurred to me that would put
nativity to very practical test, and at the
same time have little fun at his expense.

guished looking yolubre man, and / knew

have penny In his pocket, and Mr.. Bergh
promised he would. but afterward lost faith
In the invention and changed his mind.
After that Gross called on Car-builder
Stephenson IN his Office in Forty-seeond
street, near where the Grand Central Depot
now stands. Stephenson could see nothing
serious in the idea. Then Gross called on
Cornelius Vanderbilt but the inventor
wore oyeralls and spoke English poorly.
and MIR. Vanderbilt did not weigh tie mat
ter as carefully as he might have profitably
dgne. One great objection that Mr.. Van
derbilt saw was the slot. He said IL would
be a simple matter for any one to drive a
wedge In it and stop the whole line
Chauncey NJ. Depew was one Of the in
spectors Of the model in Mr.. Vanderbilts
Office.
About this time the inventor obtained en-
ployment on the Greenwich IL" road, which
was then In operation from Dey street to
Battery place, and was cable concern,
about like the present IL line in Jersey
City. Christian G. Spengler was civil engi-
neer for the company, and he gave Gross
employment as p2ttern-maker for the cast
ing OF pillars, etc. One day Spenger saw
Gross model and became much ia
terested in IL. He asked, so Gross
claims. To take 1t home with him to ex-
anime more closely. Gross reluctantly
parted with 1t with the understanding that
it should be returned within two days. 1t
was not brought back, so Gross says, and
when Gross asked for IL back Spengier is
alleged to have claimed that 1t had been
stolen. Gross has never seen his model
since then. =
Gross has not only never received penny
for his invention of the cable road. but he
has never had In the last twenty-five years
money enough to patent his original model
if that can still be done.

cannot instantly shut out traffic from the
crossing without shutting in those vehicles
which already occupy the crossing.
The plan which l submit gives the gate
man absolute control to ten seconds of tinl1
OF the traffic at railroad crossings aud
leaves an open way for those teaps which
occupy the crossing at the time the gates
close to escape therefrom. The street at
the railroad crossing Is divided longitu-
dinally IN the middle by any barrier that
will prevent teamsters from diving from
one side Of the street to the other Within the
crossing.
In the draft herewith ! employ triangu-
lar piece Of timber, which need not have a
base OF over ten inches and height of the
same. The gate at each end extends from
opposite sides of the street to the middle
thereof On the north and south street the
east side would be for the teams going north
and the west side for the teams going south.
In this case the east side passage would
have the gate at the south end and tie west
passage at the north end. The only cues
ton that arises Is, Can teamsters be kept TO
the proper side of the street?
This Is not patented, and so far as am
concerned will not be.
