series OF advance primers, BY Edwin J. Hous-
ton. During the Philadelphia electrical exhibit
ion Of 1854 Prof. Houston issued q cot of
electrical primers for the benefit Of the visitors
to the exhibition, and the great popularity and
wide general sale they attained showed that the
public appreciated the attempt to furnish them

stand. Az these primers have been out OF print
for some time the author has prepared Q new
series. but on somewhat different lines. A
feature of the work 10 the abstracts from
standard electrical authors at the end Of each
primer. which generally have reference, and
furnish an extension to some important point
in the primer. and at the same time give the
reader an Introduction to electrical literature.
While the work 10 primarily intended for popu-
lar reading, the care OF statement and logical
development of principles make IL . valuable

On a Cow-Catcher.

When Mr.. Hervey, special cores
pendent of the London Times, was
crossing the Andes on his way to Chile
he rode for time upon the cow-catch-
er of the engine. He describes par
ticularly his sensations in shooting a
tunnel. He seemed to have taken
leave of the sunlight forever and found
himself reaching out instinctively for
his companions arm-for there were
two men on the cow-catcher with him.
One of them, native well accustomed
to this mode of travel, related the un-
happy adventure of another tourist
with whom he had once ridden over
the same route.
HE was a nervous fellow" said the
man, "and was all the time clutching
at one or the other of us. By and by
he charged GOVT"
charged cow" cried Mr.. Hervey's
servant. "What on earth did he do
that forp"
Just because he couldn't help it.
You see, cows have a habit of straying
upon the track and are very stupid
and slow about getting off again.
Sometimes, indeed, they get into a
cut or upon narrow ledge and can't
save themselves. We fellows always
keep sharp lookout for the brutes
and if we see it's going to be a case of
fresh beef we skip around to the side
of the engine and hold on by the boil
er rail until the job is over.
"On the occasion | am speaking of
just as we were turning corner we
came right upon a fat old COW. There
was barely second to think and act
and my chum and | used it to the
best advantage, leaving the stranger
to look out for himself
"We got one glimpse of his huddled-
up figure; there was a thud and in
another instant the front part of the
engine was in a fearful mess. Our
man looked as if he had been rolled
through Il slaughter-house.
Goodness knows how he contriyed
to hang on but he did somehow. OF
course the engine at once slowed down
and sc got him off to the guards van,
where he was glad to change his
clothes for suit of blankets. | don't
believe that chappie will ever again
ride on cow-catcher"
