BY an edict Of President Barrios Of
Guatemala slavery has been abolished
In that country. It has been the GUS
tom for rich planters to seize upon poor
iaborers, wherever they We're found,
and compel service from them without
reward. This system possessed feat
ures far worse than African slavery
rs it once existed in this country, and
Its prohibition obliterates the last yes

Central America. r

effect that a general val is impending

should be welcomed rather than

terday afternoon. A dummy, weighing
100 pounds, was easily picked up and
thrown in a net, although placed on
the track in various positions. This
fender is a unique affair, and is not an
unsightly contrivance. From beneath
the platform Of the a run two
vrought-iron arms that descend within
three inches of the track and then
ioin each other at right angles. This
is held in place by two other supports,
on which the lower section works by
means of a jar bolt. This iron arm IN

the car run two springs, capable Of
lifting over 200 pounds. The space be-
tween these springs is covered BY ~
net. When the front of the fender
strikes an object, even SO small as
twenty pounds in weight, & instantly
releases the jar bolt. which raises the
arm three feet from the track. The
object, in this time, has been thrown
against the net, and before 1t can re-
bound the arm has raised and closed
the net about it. In the tests OF yes

Small Drawings Made Larger.


The old-felt wish of many Of our ar
tistic readers to be able to enlarge
original drawings without very much
trouble has hitherto remained ungrat-
flied, but now they will certainly re-
joice to hear of a clever little inven-
ton by which many technical difficult
ties may be overcome. The leading
feature is a rubber band on which Il
small bead is threaded.
As this bead fits SO tightly that it
car only be moved when the elastic is
stretched to the utmost, we may con-
slider it to be firm wherever fixed. One
end of the elastic is secured between
the metal plates, forming a sort Of
button, and the other runs into the
movable center of IN ordinary pencil
case, which turns to prevent the twist
ing Of the elastic when in use.
The button, the small original, and
the sheet for the copy are fastened
with drawing pins on the drawing
board, and the two former to the upper
left part. Then the pencil is taken in
the hand and guided to follow the
movements Of the beads over the out
lines Of the original. Curious as the
work seems at first, the hand soon be-
comes accustomed to the involuntary
motion, and begins to feel as if it were
drawing with the bead itself rather
than with the pencil, while the effect
is both useful and interesting.
The directions and instrument are
equally easy, the actual length Of the
elastic having nothing to do with the
proportions. The position of the bead
alone determines the size of the copy.
Say, for instance, the original measures
3 IL inches high, and we wish the
copy to be %; all we have to do is to
place the pencil at % inches and the
bead at 8 IL. When thus arranged II
is impossible to secure other proper
tons, whatever the relative position
OF original copy Or paper may be.
The above described instrument can.
however, only be used for large de-
signs, as the bead embraces too much
space to allow of very fine lines: so
for photographs, miniatures, small en-
cravings, etc, a somewhat finer an
paratus is preferable. BY its aid the
finest as well as the thickest lines can
be produced. In place of the bead we
have a strip Of metal with q point AS
fine as a needle, capable Of tracing the
smallest curves Of features: this ia
fixed between two parallel elastic
bands, whose ends are fastened with n
spring to two metal disks, ending in
the pencil case and the motive power
OF the needle, otherwise the rules are
the same as for the single. thread an.

of a diaphragm which receives the

were made to increase the sound py
increasing the size Of the Diaphragm
the natural inference being that II q
small diaphragm carried a certain vol
ume Of sound a larger diaphragm would
carry a larger volume. This reasoning
was found to be incorrect, n experts
finally settled down to the work OF de-

diaphragms cauld be used in conJunc-
ton with a number Of current general
ing devices. But the difficulty has been
that, although increased voElme OF
sound has in some cases been secured,
the clearness Of articulation has Deeh
sacrificed. The secret Of this is that the
diaphragms have not moved IN unlson'
ard, as one would approach the poles
of the magnet while another was re-
ceding, all current-generating effect was
neutralized. In Mr.. Fields apparatus
the diaphragms, being equally distant
from a common m~outhpiece. receive
simultaneous impulses; they are, more
over, mechanically connected and under
exactly the same tension, and conse-
quently they act in unison. No cleo
trical tracing" is possible, as their COM
bined vibrations are delivered on a
single current generator. The dia-
phragms are coupled by G OF short
steel wires to the extremities OF a
suitably hung soft iron armature, and
thus their opposite movements are
brought into harmonious relation. The
result is that the volume Of ound is
surprisingly amplifed and the clearness
of articulation secured is remarkable.
AS many as six diaphragms have In
this way been used simultaneously.

by desire to thank the citizens for their
kindness towards us, an l especially do we
thank Captain Bennett, the assistant
marshal, and his corps of police, for their
kind treatment and hearty endeavorS TO
assist us in every way. We believe they
acted strictly in accoTdan &c with their in
structionS and demands of the citizens in
making arrests and know that
they were misin formed as to our
character and BE- hav or. During our
stay in San Antonio Captain Bennett
and his police have done everything in
their power to find us and make us a.
comfortable as possible, the former even
paying money out of his pocket. To the
relief committee appointed by the mass
meeting we extend our heartfelt thanks, as
they, in conjunction with Capt. Bennett,
have put forth every effort to relieve our
condition, succeeded in getting employ
ment for seven or eight of orr men, also
getting transportation at reduced rates
over the International and Great North

the citizens and themselves would permit
In witness whereof, we, as a committee,
representing the sentiments of the entire
unfortunate band, do hereby subscribe
our names with many, many thanks.
