[Holyoke Transcript A SPLENDID INVENTION.

When Benjamin Franklin made his first practical applications of electricity as a useful power he opened wide vast field for invention. It needed an Edison to come to the world to render the mastery of this grand natural force to man. But Edison and his wizardlike grasp of mag netics and electricity has not done it all
 There are still way stands in this great field where the lessor inventor can assert his originality. One has been opened up to two men here in Holyoke. They had an idea, or at least one of them did He has had the idea since 1890, and rather gave it up until he talked it over with another man with mechanical ideas, and both went at it to workk the plan out.
 The men are John Hurley and Jeremiah
 F. Sullivan, the latter well known as pressman and electrotyper. With MT. Hurley the invention was born. Both have been generously helped out finan- cially in developing their invention by Alma D. Brown. The invention is a sys- tenn for running electric cars without an overhead trolly. To begin with it has great advantages over the overhead trolly system, in that it is less complicated, less expensive, less uncertain, and entirely

Live Matter) WHAT BECAME OF THE BOY9


 "Did you ever hear the story of the runaway accident and the lightning con- positor ?" asked Portland, Me-, news paper man of the party of story tellers in one of the hotels there a few weeks ago.
 ''It ought to be printed in Live Mat TER," he said, 'so l will let you have it.
 "The accident happened shortly before the time for the afternoon papers to go to press, and the reporters had to hustle in order to catch the edition.
 "A horse had taken fright while being driven along one of the principal streets. He became manageable and dashed riage behind him, finally bringing up against 8 telegraph pole. The carriage was smashed, boy who was in it thrown to the ground and badly injured, and there was the most exciting kind of ex- citement all along the street.
 "When reporter of one of the after noon papers sat down to write the story he, too, was excited. Nevertheless, he wrote graphic account of the runaway winding up by telling how badly the car riage had been broken and describing in detail the injuries to the horse. In his excitement he forgot to tell about how the boy had come out of the accident.
 "Now they have lightning compositor on the paper, who usually sets all the late copy. This particular typo, besides be- ing speedy, has 9 reputation for setting clean proofs.
 'He is man of great intelligence, and has the interest of his paper at heart to omitted he always makes inquiries about it.
 ''On this particular occasion the con- positor was at a loss to know how the boy fared. He came to the conclusion that the reporter had forgotten to mention him in finishing the story, so, in order to call the attention of the proof reader to the omission, the compositor, after finishing the last take of the copy, set up the fol- lowing query: ......
 "'What the devil became of the boy p
 "When the proof went down to the ed itorial rooms it only lacked few mo- ments of the time for going to press. The proof reader, with his usual great confi- dence in the correctness of the star com- positor, hastily glanced over the proof, marked it o. K., and sent it upstairs.
 "The paper appeared with the account of the accident, but the last paragraph created the biggest kind of sensation, for the story wound up with the printers query:

does away with the overhead wires and the posts every few rods that line all tracks. The invention, of which model is now completed and in running order, has two secrets. One lies in the motor under the car. The other is an automatic switch system. The power passes from the dynamo where it is generated to an alternating dynamo, then to converter where the current is made direct again. From this converter there are two wires, one to connect with the further rail of the track the other with the automatic switch. In practice there will be one of these con- verters at the foot of each automatic switch. Either rail of the track will be dead until the car touches it and then will be alive to the touch only where the outside wheel is directly connected with the converter, the inner rail (calling the rail nearer the switch "inner") is insula- ted, each rail of the whole track connect ing separately with the automatic switch. This insulated rail is alive when the car strikes it.
 The automatic switches will be placed 1000 feet apart, along the sidewalk. They in height and six inches in width. There is separate switch for each rail, the rail to be shorter, thus giving more power on hard grades. The other secret is the mo- tor for the car. The e'ordinary cars such as pull up the Dwight street hill every day have two motors, though only one is used on easy levels. All the work in this car is done by one motor. It will take all pulls with equal ease, as the added power is in the insulated tracks.
 The motor is comparatively simple, weighing about half a ton in an ordinary cal, where the motors now used weigh two tons. They can be built for about a third of the cost of the motors now used. They are more powerful, and there is no waste of electricity, and less dangerous.
 The inventors have their model on ex- hibition in one of the vacant mill rooms. The little car is run. on 8 circular track and works perfectly. It isn't a vory big car but one prominent citizen says it is about large enough to cover the entire Peoples street railway ID to-date. The motor in the model weighs half pound and it can move 57 pound weight. Trial has proved chat the car will run quite as we'll in water. The ordinary car will find it's motor burned out in four inches of water. The car can be easily heated from the motor. The inventors have called their system the ''alternating sys- tenn" They have applied for patent, which will be theirs very shortly.
 Already they are negotiating fol it's use on the new electric railroad at Staff ford Springs, Conn. Only yesterday MT. Hicks of that road was in the city con corning it's adoption. This system could be applied to the electric road here in Holyoke without in the least interfering with the present cars. Messrs. Hurley and Sullivan have very valuable inven- tion in this "alternating system" It has taken about six months of the combined work of the two men to get it into per lection, though Mr. Hurley has had the idea in his brain for four years.

THE NIAGARA FALLS POWER COMPANY. The supply canal leaves the Niagara river about 1000 feet above the Falls. It is 1S9 feet wide and 12 feet deep, with cut stone walls. From this canal water passes by gates and penstocks to the tur- pines. At present the wheel pit is con- structed only on the western side of the canal. This pit is 21 feet wide, 179 feet deep, and 150 feet long, and the turbines are now being placed in the northern end of it. The penstocks which supply the turbines are T feet in diameter, and the turbines themselves, each of which is double, take the water at the center and discharge outwardly. These are 5 feet 3 inches in diameter, and each double tur- bine will develop 5000 horse power. The shaft from the turbines is of hollow steel, 38 inches in diameter and s of an inch thick. At bearings, the shaft is solid and II inches in diameter. The turbines are so arranged that the weight of shafts, turbines and gear is counterbalanced by the upward thrust of the water, so that when running the thrust will be on the bearings at the top. These are to run at 25O revolutions minute. The breadth from the surface of the water in the canal to a point half way between the two dou- ble turbines is 136 feet. The tail race is tunnel, 1000 feet long, 21 feet high, IS feet 10 inches wide, lined throughout with brick. It has fall of 521 feet, and opens at the bottom of the gorge, just below the upper Suspension Bridge, at the level of the stream.

 A Hartford Times correspondent writ ing from Glasgow, Scotland, says: l have often heard our own people rave about the cheapness of things in the old country. It is all nonsense. Some few things are cheaper, but we can beat them to death right in good old Hartford. These are some of the cheap prices, and remember I am talking English money. shilling representing 24 cents of our mon- ey, and penny two of oul pennies: Tea, the best, 2s. 6d. granulated segar, 19d, per lb., or cents our money; best mix ed candy, 4d, 4lb,; lovely tan shoes, 10s.; best derby hat, 6s. Gd. best bicycle, f15, or about $70 of our money; fountain pen, best, 3s. Sd.
 Cigars and tobacco are higher than at home. A good cigar like Rosedale or Crown Jewel is not to be had at less than I5 cents each, our money-and then they are not so good.

I can buy better shirt every way right in Hartford for half the money. And in clothing generally they are way behind us, in style, price and quality.
 Well, we wanted an appetizer. so my friend and I called at a stylish saloon | (they so call them here) and asked for l two Scotch whiskies, plain. " How much ?" asked the barmaid-a very pret- ty girl, by the way. "Why, we want two common, everyday drinks,"' my friend Goldschmidt said, "a regular Hartford drink, which is moderate of course." After long wrangle she said we wanted "a nip." We got it, and it cost us six pence for the two drinks, or about half what we would have had to pay at home. On going out, my friend noticed sign: "Snuggery 'Say, Whit, what does that mean ?' gave it up, but on open ing the door it evidently meant what it said, for the lads and lasses in there were hugging one another.

Last June, Dick Crawford brought his twelve months old child, suffering from infantile diarrh9a, to me. It had been weaned at four months old, and being sfekly everything ran through it like wa ter through sieve. I gave it the usual treatment in such cases, but without ben- eft. The child kept growing thinner un-' til it weighed but little more than when born, or perhaps ten pounds. I then started the father to giving Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy. Before one bottle of the 25-cent size had been used, a marked improvement was seen, and it's continued use cured the child. Its weakness and puny constitu- tion disappeared, and it's father and my self believe the childs life was saved by this Remedy. J. T. MARROW, M. D., Tamaroa, III. For sale by w. w.

The rarity of beauty is not to be wondered at consider ing the absolute necessity to health of abundant fresh air.

Recent occurrences have directed pub lie attention anew to the fact that there are two radically different types of "labor leaders" in this country. Debs and Sov- ereign belong to one of these types Chief Arthur of the Brotherhood of To- comotive Engineers is a good representa- tive of the other. We know how the Debses and Sovereigns talk. This is how Arthur talks:
 In view of the fact that during the past winter all of the people were taxed to their utmost to feed the poor and unem- ployed, it is wrong for any man, even though he has the authority, to order out thousands of workingmen who have large families to support. 1 would rather re- ceive the condemnation of the men for not ordering strike than to order them out and then receive their condemnation. It is not the right time to suspend work when the men have positions to fill and are entirely satisfied with their work.
