LIGHT ROAD MACHINE.

A New York Mans Substitute for the
Heavy Horse Killers
Regardless of the compulsion of the
law, self-interest in every rural comnu-
nifty demands good roads. They in
crease the facility for marketing prod
uce, save in horse flesh and wagon re-
pairs, attract money-spending summer
visitors and enhance the value of prop
ertv. The macadam and similar sys-
TENS are unquestionably the best, al
though rather costly at first. But un-
fortunately in many country towns the
usual method of roadmaking consists of
blowing up the loan, clay, gravel and
turf and scraping it up toward the CEN
ter of the highway, with more or less
bungling attempts at smoothing. Spe-
cial machines for this purpose have
| been devised. some of them heavy and
cumbrous, weighing from 1000 to 5000
pounds, needing from four to six horses
or oxen to operate them, and so expan-
| sive as not 10 be turned around easily
on a narrow road They are costly in
more ways than one, not merely to the
town or district which buys them, but
| to the owners of horses which are
| hitched thereto in service. Hence the
road machine invented by Stockport
| columbia county, N. ~ man and rep
resented herewith, may, perhaps, fill
long-felt want in many parts of the
country. Only single sample has
been built, but it has been practically
tested. Its weight is only 400 pounds
1t needs only pair of horses, can turn
easily anywhere, and the inventor
claims that it does better work and
does it more easily than anything else
of the kind.
AS will be seen from the accompany
ing picture, the machine is mainly sup
ported by one wheel. the axle of which
is secured to a section of anglo iron
that serves as a continuation of the
pole, and resembles plow beam. The
wheel is Hanged, in order to make it
run exactly in the line of draft. A
tendency to shift to one side results
from the angle at which the scraper-
blade is set with the beam. A stay-rod,
shown herewith, maintains this angle;
and it may be used, in cooperation with
the beam, to sustain drivers seat. The
scraper- blade is six feet long, and
tapers from nine to twelve inches in
width. Bolted on to the lower half Of
its front surface are two cast-iron
plates, or shears The rear lever is used
to change the level of the surface of
the road, grading up from side toward
center. and also to lift the blade en-
tirely free from the ground when going
to and fro or turning around. A small
wheel, not visible in our illustration, is
placed under the "nigh'' or forward
end of the blade, to carry that part of
the apparatus when not in use, and
also st times. especially in soft soil, to
regulate the depth to which the blade

And weeping, shed its tiny light

He turned to left. he turned to right,

And proudly travelled to the lea.

The Present Is Grand Opportunity for

Officials of the National League for
Good Roads have issued the following
circular from the worlds fair Office in
which they call attention to the present
opportunity for improving the roads:

therefor, others only require the sanction of q

Men enough could be put to work by these
bodies without waiting for legislation to give
sensible relief to the labor market and mate
rally ease the hard times in their localities,
while the roads would be built at minimum of
cost and Of interest charges. Those states that
have not adopted the modern ideas would
hasten their legislation to avail themselves Of
the same advantages and the whole country be
lifted out of its temporary difficulties by means
certain to promote its permanent prosperity.
To enforce these considerations upon the at
tention of the boards having power to oct and
upon the people having the right to vote such
power is the practical work OF the hour Those
who are willing to join actively in this work in
their localities are earnestly requested to COM

the blade set at an angle is that, when
used as a, rut scraper, it sweeps the
loosened earth sidewise 70 some extent,
and thus fills up the ruts instead OF
merely crowding the dirt forward.
Besides the lightness, simplicity OF
construction and efficiency which are
said to be among the merits of this ap-

sidered. It can be made so as to yield
large profit and retail for s25, which

There are two totally distinct types
in Japan, which may almost be said to
be each others opposites. The first,
which the japanese themselves call the
Chinese, or Corean, is the more common.
Those belonging to it have round faces,
fiat noses, full cheeks, rather thick
lips-very pretty ones often-and very
good white teeth. Those belonging to
the second, or true japanese type, have
long and comparatively pale faces, noses
arched like the beak of a bird, thin lips,
large eyes, with not very strongly
marked eyebrows; teeth mostly good,
always very white, but often long and
irregular. This is the aristocratic type,
which when at its best is really worthy
of admiration. To be called handsome
japanese must belong lit, while
those of the Chinese cast of countenance
are never more than pretty.
Strange to say, the moral character
of the sections of the community differs
as much as does their appearance. l
have noticed that, as a general rule,
those with Chinese faces are gay, laugh
ing and restless, full Of careless good
humor, while the others are silent, in
different, melancholy, sometimes even
dismal Harper's Weekly.

SETS HIMSELF ON FIRE.

Some Past and Prospective Experiments OF
the Electrician Nikola Tesla.
Mr.. r. G. Martin, editor of The Elec-
trical Engineer, writing on the work of
the Servian-American electrician, Mix
ola Tesla, says:
Mr.. Tesla has advanced the opinion
and sustained it by brilliant expert
ments of startling beauty and grandeur
that light and heat are produced by
electrostatic forces acting between
charged molecules Or atoms. Perfect
ing a generator that would give him
currents of several thousand alterna-
lions per second and inventing his dis
ruptive discharge coil, he has created
electrostatic conditions that have al
ready modified not few of the accepted
notions about electricity.
1t has been supposed that ordinary
currents Of 1000 OF 1900 volts poten-
tial would surely kill, but Mr.. Tesla
has been seen receiving through his
hands currents at a potential Of more
than 200, 600 volts, vibrating million
times per second and manifesting them
oe1FeS III udAAlluS StIedluS VI light. lu1S
is not a mere tour de force, but illus
trates the principle that while currents
OF lower frequency destroy life these
are harmless. After such striking
test, which, by the way, no one has
displayed a hurried inclination to re-
peat, Mr.. Tesla's body and clothing
have continued for some time to emit
fine glimmers, Or halos, of splintered
light. In fact, an actual flame is pro-
duced by this agitation of electrostat-
ically charged molecules, and the curl
Gus spectacle can be seen of puissant,
white, ethereal flames that do not con
sumo anything, bursting from the ends
of an induction coil as though it were
the bush on holy ground.
With such vibrations as can be main
tanned by a potential of 5000, 600 volts
Mr.. Tesla expects some day to envelop
himself in complete sheet of lambert
fire that will leave him quito uninjur-
ed. Such currents as he now uses would,
he says, keep naked man warm at the
north pole, and their use in therapeutics
is but one of the practical possibilities
that has been taken up.-Century.

THE CROWN OF FAILURE.

When you have lived your life,
When you have fought your last good fight and
won,
And the days work is finished, and the sun
Sets on the darkening world and all its
Ere the worn hands are tired with all they've
done,
Ere the minds strength begins to droop and
wane,
Ere the first touch of sleep has dulled the brain,
When you have lived your life,
"Twere good to die.
If it may not be SO,
If you but fight fight you may not win;
See the far goal but may not enter in
'Twere better then to die and not to know
Defeat-to die amidst the rush and din,
Still striving, while the heart beats high and
fast
With glorious life. If you must fail at last,
Such end were best with all your hope and all
Your spirit in its youth
Then, when you fall.
Far better SO to die,
Still toiling upward through the mists obscure
With all things possible and nothing sure,
Than to be touched by glory and passed by
To win, by chance, fame that may not endure
That dies and leaves you living. while you
strive
With wasted breath to keep its flame alive
And fan, with empty boast and proud regrets,
Remembrance of past
The world forgets.
