Marvels OF Plant Life.

many evidences of seeming intelligence,

tScience can do some wonderful
things" said Samuel Watson, a prac.
teal engineer, who has been devoting
some time to studying the various
methods of transporting power from the
motor to the machine. ut would strike
you as rather funny to see the slender
line Of a spiders web CONVEYING the
power from 250 horsepower engine,
wouldn't it2 But it has been demon
.strated that such a thing can be done.
Now let us start with the most common
and general method of transporting
power, the ordinary leather belt. sir
Robert Bail, an eminent scientific en-.
gineer, has found that the heavy, slow
running belt can, when the conditions
are favorable for a change from weight
to speed, be made away with, and a
hight. fast running cotton rope may take
It's place with a greater amount of salts
faction than the betting ever gave. Fol-
lowing up this line of thought it has
been demonstrated that a rope as light as
sewing-cotton going at the same rate of
speed as a rifle ball would satisfactorily
carry a single horsepower. Now take
the extreme lightest line known to the
world, that Of the spiders web, and the
extreme highest known velocity of
travel, which is that of light, and we

4 line OF spiders web could be driven
at the speed Of light, it would satisfac.
